Turkey: Alarming Crackdown on Journalists, Desperate Appeal to UN
Turkey: Alarming Crackdown on Journalists, Desperate Appeal to UN The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention was held on September 13. Sadly, no one at the meeting addressed the persecution of journalists in Turkey — not José Guevara Bermúdez, Chair-Rapporteur of the Working Group, nor Béla Szombati, who represented the European Union, nor any other participant. […]
Killing Free Speech in Canada
Killing Free Speech in Canada As has become standard in such cases, the charter contains no definition of what constitutes “hate”, making it a catchall for whatever the Canadian government deems politically inopportune. This is all exhaustingly familiar by now: Germany already has legislation that requires social media platforms to censor their users. France is […]
UN Launches All-out War on Free Speech
UN Launches All-out War on Free Speech In other words, forget everything about the free exchange of ideas: the UN feels that its ‘values’ are being threatened and those who criticize those values must therefore be shut down. Naturally, the UN assures everyone that, “Addressing hate speech does not mean limiting or prohibiting freedom of […]
“Europe Will Not Be Europe”
“Europe Will Not Be Europe” In the United Kingdom, the Brexit Party victory at 31.6% of the vote was a remarkable achievement that showed the persistent willingness of millions of Britons to leave the European Union. The “populist” positions — the defense of national sovereignty and European civilization, refusal of uncontrolled immigration and diktats of […]
EU: Telling Europeans What to Think
EU: Telling Europeans What to Think The above initiatives, of course, exist in addition to all the other measures that the EU has put in place to “guide” Europeans onto the path of proper thinking… which the untransparent and unaccountable online tech giants — Facebook, Google, Twitter and Mozilla — signed in October 2018, and […]
EU: Going Full Orwell
EU: Going Full Orwell The problem is that this professedly noble initiative comes from an organization that has already for several years been censoring free speech in Europe. The handbook guidelines state that journalists should “Take care not to further stigmatize terms such as ‘Muslim’ or ‘Islam’ by associating them with particular acts… Don’t allow […]
Unrest in France: No End in Sight
Unrest in France: No End in Sight The third group is extremely large: it is the rest of the population. The upper class treat them as regrettable dead weight and expect nothing from them except silence and submission. Its members often have a hard time making ends meet. They pay taxes but can see that […]
Italy Building Anti-EU Axis
Italy Building Anti-EU Axis “Today begins a journey that will continue in the coming months for a different Europe, for a change of the European Commission, of European policies, which puts at the center the right to life, work, health, safety, all that the European elites, financed by [billionaire Hungarian philanthropist George] Soros and represented […]
Europe: More Nifty Censorship from the EU
Europe: More Nifty Censorship from the EU Sadly, the main victims of many of the abuses that the European Commission seemingly wishes to silence are often Muslims, often women and children, and often too scared to speak out. One of the foremost tools used by the EU is its “Code of conduct on countering illegal […]
France in Free Fall
France in Free Fall French officials evidently understand that the terrorists are engaged in a long war and that it will be difficult to stop them; so they seem to have given in. These officials are no doubt aware that young French Muslims are being radicalized in increasing numbers. The response, however, has been to […]
Canada’s Treacherous “Faustian Bargain”
Canada’s Treacherous “Faustian Bargain” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, it seems, adheres to the principle of globalism, according to which the world is borderless, and the idea of sovereign nation-states is both reactionary and obsolete. In this borderless world, the governing body is the unelected, untransparent, unaccountable and deeply corrupt United Nations and its agencies, […]
Big Tech Snuffing Free Speech; Google’s Poisonous ‘Dragonfly’
Big Tech Snuffing Free Speech; Google’s Poisonous ‘Dragonfly’ If the big social media companies choose what to publish and what not to publish, they should be subject to the same licensing and requirements as media organizations. Google has decided it will not renew a contract with the Pentagon for artificial intelligence work because Google employees […]
EU: Politicizing the Internet
EU: Politicizing the Internet Even before such EU-wide legislation, similar ostensible “anti-terror legislation” in France, for example, is being used as a political tool against political opponents and to limit unwanted free speech. In France, simply spreading information about ISIS atrocities is now considered “incitement to terrorism”. It is this kind of legislation, it seems, […]
UK: You’re Not Allowed to Talk about It. About What? Don’t Ask.
UK: You’re Not Allowed to Talk about It. About What? Don’t Ask. “I am in a country that is not free… I feel jealous as hell of you guys in America. You don’t know how lucky you are.” — Carl Benjamin (aka Sargon of Akkad), YouTuber with around a million subscribers. “I am trying to […]
EU: More Censorship to “Protect” You
EU: More Censorship to “Protect” You There appears to be a huge disconnect here between the EU’s professedconcern for keeping Europeans safe — as expressed in the one-hour rule — and the EU’s actual refusal to keep Europeans safe in the offline world. The result is that Europeans, manipulated by an untransparent, unaccountable body, will […]
