The End of Freedom of Speech in Spain<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"1984spain\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spain has shown that it is fully on board with the Brussels authoritarian direction of ending democracy. Those in power have simply convinced themselves that the people do not understand what is good for them so they must impose their will upon the people but raw force. How does this differ in any what from the justification of imposing communism? This is the death of all freedom and it is upon our doorstep.<\/p>\n

Here are the new laws in Spain:<\/p>\n

1. If you photograph security personnel and then share these images on social media: up to \u20ac30.000 fine (particularly if photo exposes violence used against a member of the public). This fine could increase depending on the number of Instagram or social media followers you have.
\n2. Tweet or retweet information or the \u201clocation of an organized protest\u201d can now be interpreted as an act of terrorism as it incites others to \u201ccommit a crime\u201d (now that \u201cdemonstrating\u201d in many ways has become a crime). Sound \u201c1984\u201d-ish? Read about Orwell and his time in Spain.<\/p>\n

3. Snowden-like whistle blowing is now defined as an act of terrorism. If you write for a local publication, be careful what you print, whom you speak to, and whether the government is listening.<\/p>\n

4. Visiting or consulting terrorist websites \u2013 even for investigative purposes \u2013 can be interpreted as an act of terrorism. Make sure you use \u201cTor\u201d browser, reject cookies, and don\u2019t allow pop-ups. Not to mention, don\u2019t post it on your Facebook timeline!<\/p>\n

5. Be careful with the royal jokes! Any satirical comment against the royal family is a new crime \u201cagainst the Crown\u201d. For example, \u201cWhat did Leticia and the Bishop have to say after they \u2013\u2013\u201c (SORRY CENSORED).<\/p>\n
