Europe Is No Longer Free

We pick up a large percentage of the tab for Europe’s defense, freeing up money to finance the lavish welfare states that have drawn so many millions of moochers from the Third World. Supposedly we do this to defend freedom. But having succumbed to moonbattery, is Europe still free?

Not Germany. Via the European Conservative:

German director Uwe Boll’s latest film about a man who turns to vigilantism after becoming frustrated by rising street crime has been effectively barred from release in Germany. According to Boll, the ban is linked to the film’s portrayal of migrants as perpetrators of serious crimes.

Crime in Germany is disproportionately committed by migrants. But that’s in real life. Fiction must represent the alternate world of the ruling class’s suicidal ideology.

Not Italy. Remix News reports what happened when a banner was unfurled that read, “Italy for Italians”:

The banner was hung from a window of Liceo Classico Vincenzo Monti on June 6 by a group of graduating students. Following a police investigation, those responsible were identified and subjected to disciplinary measures by the school’s governing body, Il Giornale reported.

Not France. European Conservative reports on the trial of French activist and online commentator Thaïs d’Escufon:

The case stems from statements she made on BFM TV in 2023, during a discussion about a rape involving an illegal immigrant. d’Escufon, who was herself the victim of a home invasion and sexual assault two years earlier at the hands of a Tunisian migrant, said during the segment that “The main danger for women is immigrant men, Africans, blacks, and Arabs.”

This is indisputably true, which is why she is not allowed to say it.

DILCRAH (the Interministerial Delegation to Fight Against Racism, Antisemitism, and Anti-LGBT Hate) filed a complaint after that TV appearance, leading to prosecution. …

Prosecutors have requested a sentence of up to one year in prison and a fine of 45,000 euros for “incitement to racial hatred.”

The sentence has come down. She wound up with a €1,000 fine.

This is not authorities’ first attempt to shut her up:

d’Escufon described her six years of activism as marked by media controversy, account suspensions, legal proceedings, and what she sees as systematic efforts to silence dissenting opinions. “Freedom of expression doesn’t exist,” she said.

She came to public attention as a spokesperson for Génération Identitaire — which Macron shut down as a supposed threat to public order because it opposed the Great Replacement.

Social media platforms repeatedly suspended her accounts, eventually removing her from Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other mainstream networks.

D’Escufon said multiple banks also refused to provide her with banking services, without giving any clear explanations.

There have been previous legal repercussions:

She has already received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a €3,000 fine in one case, while continuing to pursue appeals through the courts.

Doesn’t look much like this spunky countermoonbat is ready to throw in the towel:

Those in control suppress free speech so as to stall resistance until it is too late to prevent the demographic displacement of the native population. Many rulers have come to power in Europe over the centuries, but this is the first ruling class to pose an existential threat to European civilization, which will no longer exist when Europe is no longer primarily populated by Europeans.

By paying to defend Europe, the USA is helping to destroy it. Rather than provide military defense, it would be more productive to support voices of freedom like Thaïs d’Escufon’s before they are snuffed out.

Factual Truth Ruled to Be Thoughtcrime in Belgium

Under moonbat rule, just because it is factually true does not mean you are allowed to say it. After all, it could be “disinformation” or even “hate speech.”

CBN reports on an alarming ruling from Belgium in the case of Great Replacement opponent Dries Van Langenhove:

Van Langenhove’s conviction was based on a lecture given in 2024 at Catholic University Leuven, in which he linked mass migration to “crime and a deterioration of our quality of life.”

This correlation is not hard to substantiate. So rather than argue, moonbats make it illegal to discuss.

Snarled the judge:

“Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”

To his credit, Van Langenhove is a repeat offender:

It is Van Langenhove’s second hate speech conviction, and he faces another court case in September.

He claims there are a dozen active criminal investigations against him for hate speech and has already paid more than 420 thousand euros ($489,000) in legal fees.

Authorities want to prevent Europeans from realizing what is being done to them until it is too late to reverse it. Eradication by demographic displacement can still be avoided if enough people rally behind countermoonbats like Eva Vlaardingerbroek, who is attempting to force EU bureaucrats to acknowledge what is happening through the Save Europe Act:

British Flock to Trump’s Free Speech Portal

Even under moonbat rule, Britons may still have free speech — thanks to the USA.

GB News reports on Freedom.gov, a free speech portal designed by the Trump Administration to allow people in repressive countries to share officially disfavored information.

Censorship has become increasingly prevalent in Europe under left-wing domination — an alarming development that the Trump Administration has taken a leading role in combatting.

For now, only the landing page is live, but apparently it is already getting plenty of hits from the UK. A senior Trump official is unsurprised by the site’s appeal to Britons:

“We have more in common with these people than divides us. Just because Government and key sectors of civil society are hostile to freedom of speech doesn’t mean the people are.”

We do have a lot in common. What has been happening there could happen here too if the wrong people take control of the government. Nina Jankowicz, who headed the Ministry of Truth (aka Disinformation Governance Board) during the Biden Regime, is vociferously hostile to Freedom.gov.

Angela Merkel Awarded European Order of Merit for Inflicting Massive Damage on Germany and Europe

When the obituary is written for Germany, former Chancellor Angela Merkel will rank among those most responsible for its demise. She infamously opened the border to mass Third World immigration, flooding the country with millions of unassimilable Muslims drawn largely by generous welfare payments. She drove the pointless green energy lunacy that has crippled the German economy and left the country dependent on Russian gas. She continues to help squash free speech. Consequently, she has been granted a European Order of Merit.

Remix News notes that the damage inflicted by Merkel extends Europe-wide:

Merkel is seen as not only the architect of the EU’s open border policy back in 2015, which ultimately allowed in millions of migrants, with far-reaching and violent consequences for France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Austria, to list just a few stories.

She also laid the groundwork for Germany’s exit from nuclear power, which has fueled the country’s economic deterioration in the face of higher energy prices and the challenges of green technologies.

As for the free speech required for a genuine democracy to function,

Investigative journalist Zara Riffler called out Merkel for her idea of democracy: “Merkel is no longer making any secret of her understanding of ‘democracy.’ She wants tough regulation for social media & AI – she wants to punish ‘lies’ (!) – in other words, a digital world in which there is only the one truth that is approved from above. That is her true face.”

As the Nobel Peace Prize, Pulitzer Prize, Emmys, Peabody Award, and Presidential Medal of Freedom confirm, there is no greater shame than to be awarded honors by the moonbat establishment.

Not everyone is pleased. Finnish MEP Sebastian Tynkkynen speaks countermoonbattery to power:

California Introduces Stop Nick Shirley Act

Nick Shirley is a genuine journalist, in stark contrast to the incurious propagandists comprising the liberal establishment media. To learn what would happen to genuine journalists were Democrats to consolidate power, look to places where leftism has prevailed, like China, Cuba — or California.

California State Assemblymember Carl DeMaio sounds the alarm:

DeMaio is slamming state Democrats for voting to advance a controversial new law (AB 2624) to silence citizen journalists and shield taxpayer-funded organizations from public scrutiny.

What DeMaio calls the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” Democrats bleat is all about protecting the put-upon colonists they have imported from the Third World to displace American voters:

AB 2624 claims to be about protecting immigrant organizations from “threats of violence,” when in fact the legislation would apply to any left-wing group that claims to provide any services to legal or illegal immigrants. For example, under AB 2624 entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would all be covered if they operated inside California.

These phony daycare centers set up to facilitate the massive fraud permitted by Democrats like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were famously exposed by Shirley.

AB 2624 would allow activists and taxpayer-funded organizations to demand the removal of video evidence — even if it captures misconduct in plain view — and threatens journalists with massive financial penalties.

Again we see that the Democratic Party is the party of crime. As DeMaio puts it,

“If this bill becomes law, the message is clear to every journalist in California: expose corruption and you will be punished.”

It is no surprise that the Democrats who dominate California want to shut Shirley down. If he is as successful unmasking fraud there as he has been in Minnesota, it will make clinging to power more difficult.

Canada Moves Toward Criminalizing Bible

For an idea of what awaits Americans if Democrats consolidate power, look to the north, where Canada is moving toward criminalization of the Holy Bible as “hate speech.”

Via Fox News:

Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, introduced by Canadian Liberal Justice Minister Sean Fraser, passed the House of Commons on March 25 and now heads to the Senate. The measure would expand Canada’s hate speech laws, create a new hate-crime offense and add penalties for intimidating or blocking people from accessing houses of worship, cultural spaces, schools, senior residences and cemeteries.

The last part is probably not meant to be enforced. Similar window dressing was applied to a US law intended to criminalize opposition to abortion. The FACE Act was for justifying SWAT raids against people like Mark Houck, even if it was turned around and applied against Don Lemon’s gang of leftist thugs after they stormed and terrorized a church.

The sharpest criticism of the bill focuses on its repeal of a long-standing defense for religious speech in some criminal hate speech cases.

Conservative MP Andrew Lawton observes that it is…

“…incredibly concerning when a Liberal cabinet minister says that certain verses of Scripture are so inherently hateful that prosecutors should be able to press charges against those who quote them.”

On the other side of the aisle,

During a House justice committee hearing last October, Liberal Party MP Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, suggested certain passages from the Bible were inherently hateful toward homosexuals and questioned the Criminal Code’s initial carve out for religious statements made in “good faith.”

The sin of homosexual behavior is condemned in the strongest terms throughout the Bible.

Although the bill is anti-Christian, it is not anti-religious. In the liberal religion, homosexual depravity is sacred. The bill serves to uphold it.

Spain Cracks Down on Free Speech as Migrants Run Riot

Countries that are hostile to the USA tend also to be hostile free speech. Spain as it succumbs to leftism is a case in point.

Via Modernity:

Spain’s Supreme Court has upheld prison sentences for seven individuals over Facebook comments criticizing unaccompanied foreign minors in the border enclave of Melilla, marking a chilling escalation in the far-left government’s war on free speech amid skyrocketing migrant-related crime.

Sentences for supposedly promoting hostility toward mostly North African colonists range from 8 months to 1 year 10 months.

This fits with socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s campaign to undo the Reconquista so that Spain can be reabsorbed into the Muslim world in the name of moonbattery.

Just months ago, Alex Soros heaped praise on Sánchez for granting amnesty to up to 500,000 illegal migrants via royal decree, bypassing parliament entirely. …

Meanwhile, the regime has threatened to “limit and likely ban” X entirely, joining the EU’s broader crackdown on platforms that allow unfiltered discourse.

Also meanwhile,

A new study shows foreigners commit five times more rapes and four times more murders per capita than Spaniards, with penetrative rape cases exploding 143% in five years to over 5,200 in 2024.

Consider a colonist from Senegal who raped a 14-year-old girl.

He received a two-year suspended sentence, 60 days of community service, and a €7,500 fine—far lighter than the prison terms handed to these Facebook commenters for mere words.

It’s not as if there is no freedom left in Spain. In addition to the liberty of migrants to rape the native population with virtual impunity, the regime offers freedom to have sex with animals. Catholics may be forbidden to pray the rosary in public, but pedophiles are allowed to hold parades featuring children in adult erotic clothing.

Bad Penny James Boasberg Turns Up Yet Again

When irresponsible activist judges abuse their power, they need to be removed from the bench. Otherwise, they will continue to inflict damage on the country.

Obama appointee James Boasberg demanded the immediate return of illegal alien gang members who had been deported. He released a maniac who threatened to kill the president. More recently, he has explicitly demanded that taxpayers be forced to finance the return of illegal alien Tren de Aragua thugs to the USA.

Now we read this, via Reclaim the Net:

On February 4th, Chief Judge James Boasberg ruled that the [FBI] can keep secret the precise amounts it paid Twitter between 2016 and 2023 for complying with legal process requests.

Transparency is not on the agenda.

The payments totaled at least $3.4 million between October 2019 and February 2021 alone. That figure emerged from the Twitter Files released in December 2022.

Officially, the payments were reimbursements for the cost of complying with subpoenas, search warrants, et cetera. Looks like some reimbursements were for helping to suppress countermoonbattery and tip the election to Biden.

During the period leading up to the 2020 election, the FBI’s Elvis Chan and colleagues were holding weekly meetings with Twitter staff about “misinformation.” They were flagging accounts. They were flagging content. And they were being reimbursed for the legal paperwork that accompanied all of it.

The Deep State has deep pockets.

The FBI was not simply investigating criminals during this period. It was meeting weekly with a private company’s content moderation team, flagging accounts of vaccine skeptics, lab-leak researchers, people who questioned the 2020 election, and journalists covering Hunter Biden.

If vengeful Democrats regain power, expect the FBI to be weaponized against us as never before. Apparatchiks like Boasberg will help snuff out pushback.
