War On Free Speech A Precursor To World War Three?

In every liberal democracy the ordinary people are starting to fear a new threat, from the UK,  USA, Canada, Ireland and Australia, throughout the EU and in every multinational bureaucracy, from the EU and NATO to the UN and its offshoots like the WHO, censorship is on the rise. 

Everywhere we see stories denouncing misinformation and disinformation (does anyone know the difference?) and complaints that levels of racist, sexist, homophobic,transphobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic and self - righteous hate crimes are out of control, we are told, make it more urgent than ever for governments, corporations and multilateral organisations to adopt stronger measures to protect vulnerable populations online.

Its all bollocks of course, a massive distraction by the proponents of globalism to draw attention away from the emerging truths about the scamdemic, the killer vaccines that so many people were bullied into accepting, the exposure of the climate change scare narrative as another fraud, that the values and shared morality that has held Indo - European civilisations together for millennia is under attack from Cultural Marxist ideologues and that many of the inalienable rights we have taken for granted are under attack, first and foremost the right of free speech.

There are, of course, plenty of examples of misinformation and hatred online, and Twitter and Facebook are right to reduce their spread — but often the threat is exaggerated. The Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), for instance, recently published a study that concluded that antisemitism was increasing on Twitter. But there is no definitive evidence of rising hate online. The ISD study counted tweets criticising George Soros which didn’t mention his Judaism as antisemitic. Elsewhere, “hate speech” includes the reluctance of some people online to use female pronouns when referring to transwomen — even though one might oppose using female pronouns for natal males yet  have no hostility toward transwomen.

This illustrated that what people label as “hatred” and “misinformation” is often merely an opinion they don’t like or which they fear will encourage bad behaviour. In both the UK and the US, this led to government officials demanding that social media platforms censor “often-true” content, including about Covid vaccine side effects, out of fear that such stories would result in vaccine hesitancy.

What’s more, Facebook and Twitter have also started deleting a significant amount of true content. Between 2020 to 2021, for example, Facebook censored claims that the coronavirus came from a Chinese lab, even though that was always as likely, if not more so, than the natural-origin hypothesis. Twitter also censored an accurate New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop while allowing supporters of his father, Joe Biden, to falsely claim it was a result of “Russian disinformation”.

For whatever reason, we have a political and technocratic class that is impotent and incompetent. No one has a vision to build things. They only know how to tear things down. Censorship is a convenient tool to deflect criticism from their policy failures. The culture wars exist only because it’s easier to govern when people are divided by nonsense.

The potential impact of social media has been compared to that of the invention of printing. The latter triggered to a flood of intemperate pamphlets and books which led to polarisation, paranoia and a hundred years of witch-hunts and religious wars (as well as the Reformation, the spread of literacy and an acceleration of Science).

Greater self discipline is needed on social media to be sure, but censorship and the creation of new laws like those against hate speech, and involving the police and courts is the way forward. Our justice systems are slow, expensive, overloaded, and subject to levels of politicisation that are producing some very unreliable and eccentric judgements at the moment.

Perhaps some form of registration is needed for professional commentators (like journalists).
It is not practical for social media sites to be be held responsible for the specific content that individuals post in the way that publishers could in the era of print, but once the Big Tech corporations that own and operate social media start to involve themselves in the censoring of certain opinions then they assume the role of a publisher and so must assume the responsibilities. They can and should be responsible for the general conduct and policy of the site as things standbut when they start censoring conservative, libertarian or nationalist ideas but promote paedophilia, transgenderism and globalism, they are attacking freedom of speech and expression.

But one of the most concerning areas in which official and unofficial censorship is stifling discussion and suppressing the free exchange of ideas and opinions is reporting and discussion of what is really happening in Ukraine. If you rely on mainstream media for information you probably believe the narrative that 'brave little Ukraine is punching way above its weight militarily and giving those nasty Russian bullies a damn good thrashing, but in reality nothing could be further from the truth. I am not a supporter of Russia bit a realist and what I read in news out of India, Singapore, the Middle East and Africa suggests that in constantly enabling the neo nazi nutters in Kiev to escalate the conflict, NATO and the USA are imposing immense suffering on the people of Ukraine as well as stupendous loss of life among military personnel.

If people could see the true extent of destruction wreaked on Ukraine I'm sure many would agree with me that it is way past time NATO and the United Nations stepped in, put a peace - keeping force in place and supervised a negotiated settlement that would ensure Russia did not crush Ukraine economically as it has done in the shooting war.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

Net Zero Will Lead To The End Of Modern Civilisation, Says Top Scientist

 

by Chris Morrison, DailySceptic.org, 10 Januaty 2023

A damning indictment of the Net Zero political project has been made by one of the world’s leading nuclear physicists.

In a recently published science paper, Dr. Wallace Manheimer said it would be the end of modern civilisation. Writing about wind and solar power he argued it would be especially tragic “when not only will this new infrastructure fail, but will cost trillions, trash large portions of the environment, and be entirely unnecessary”. The stakes, he added, “are enormous”.

Dr. Manheimer holds a physics PhD from MIT and has had a 50-year career in nuclear research, including work at the Plasma Physics Division at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. He has published over 150 science papers. In his view, there is “certainly no scientific basis” for expecting a climate crisis from too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the next century or so. He argues that there is no reason why civilisation cannot advance using both fossil fuel power and nuclear power, gradually shifting to more nuclear power.

There is of course a growing body of opinion that points out that the Emperor has no clothes when it comes to all the fashionable green technologies. Electric cars, wind and solar power, hydrogen, battery storage, heat pumps – all have massive disadvantages, and are incapable of replacing existing systems without devastating consequences.  ...

Official Advice - Prepare For Blackouts This Winter

The UK government is putting plans together for days of organised blackouts this winter, in what they call a "reasonable worst-case scenario" for energy shortages, according to reports in manstream media. Naturally they are blaming this on the embargo on importing gas from Russia but in reality Britain has never imported any more than a small amout of its gas from Russia. The real reason politicians and energy company CEOs are panicking is entirely due to their obession with obtaining all our energy from intermittent sources like wind and sunshine ...

The Battle To Save What's Left Of Civilisation

 


Gl;obal Warming in Northern England, December 2022 (Picture: Liverpool Echo)


 

If you read this blog regularly you will probably be aware of the global warming wars, the regular discussion topics of which are the politicisation of science (particularly that relating to climate and envronment,)   the ongoing struggle over government-led efforts across the liberal democracies of the Europe and North america and certain outlying farmsteads like Japan and Australia to destroy western civilisation and the prosperity of its middle and working class populations by using propaganda about an impending climate disaster to tranfer industry and commerce to the low labour cost economies of Asia, Africa and South America.

The main thrust of the global elite's attack on our lifestyles is through 'green' energy policies which aim to switch our energy intensive  economies from coal, oil and gas as fuel for electricity generation and heat for industrial processes and out homes and business premises. To stop the use of fossil fuels and their associated “carbon emissions, which the elites and their science whores claim are responsible for global warming,” and achieve 'net zero' a situation in which whatever Carbon Dioxide is emitted by human activity is offset by planting trees and other equally whacko but 'environmentally friendly' schemes. 

Lately, the focus of the war on prosperity and the food supply Carbon Dioxide has focused less on what might be called the “science” of global warming, i.e., the extent to which human carbon emissions may possibly be causing atmospheric warming and whether that warming might be dangerous and more on issues of practicality and cost of the proposed of transition from reliable fossil fuels and nuclear energy to generating the electricity modern societies rely on twenty four hours a day, 365 days a year from wind turbines and solar panels. After all, as to the “science” issues, we are instructed endlessly by our politicians and media that the science of global warming is “settled.” So what’s the point of debating that any more?

In reality the 'science' supporting claims that carbon  dioxide emissions from human activity are heading us toward some kind of planetary catastrophe is not only not “settled,” but actually non-existent, while nature itself is responsible for emitting many hundreds of times more Carbon Dioxide, which is by the way a component of the air we breathe that is absolutely essential to the continuation of life on this little planet. Nevertheless trying to initiate discussion on that subject can quickly lead to arguments couched in technical jargon and mathematics that very few people will try to follow or to mutually abusive mud slinging. By contrast, almost anybody can quickly grasp why wind and solar electricity generation can’t work to power a modern economy and will multiply electricity bills by an order of magnitude.

But don’t get the idea that everybody has just given up on exposing the fake “science” behind the global warming scare. In fact, the Manhattan Contrarian is on the case, as are the contributors to the excellent Watts Up With That website and Climate Depot along with hundreds of other websites created by healthily sceptical people who habitually question official narratives on many things and usually find that the version of events politicians, the media, billionaire psychopaths and Our New Unhappy Lords in the world of business and finance would like to force us to believe.

Macron Makes Honest Criticism Of Africa - Get's Called A Nazi

It is on record that none of the contributors to this blog have much time for recently elected French President Emmnuel Macron. We have dubbed the former Goldman Sachs executive a 'grandmotherfucker' and dismissed him as just another globalist appartchik who will do the bidding of the faceless people who run the financial cartels. However we believe in giving credit where it is due and, fair play to the lad, he is the first European leader to publicly utter the truth about why the problems of that shithole of a continent, Africa, are insoluble.


Macron has been criticised for claiming Africa's perpetual humanitarian crisis is due to 'civilisational problems' and women in tribal societies having "seven or eight children" hampering social and economic development in African nations.


Addressing a session of the the G20 summit, the French President was questioned by a reporter from former French colony Ivory Coast on the possibility of implementing a policy like America’s Marshall Plan for rebuilding Europe after the Second World War to kick start economic development in African nations.


“The problems Africa face today are completely different {to those of Europe after World War Two] … and are ‘civilisational’,” Mr Macron told the journalist. "What are the problems?" he went on. "Failed states, tribalism and extremely difficult demographic transitions.”


“It’s by a more rigorous governance, a fight against corruption, a fight for good governance, a successful demographic transition when countries today have seven or eight children per woman,” Mr Macron added. "At the moment, spending billions of euros outright would stablise nothing. So the transformation plan that we have to conduct together must be developed according to African interests by and with African leaders."


In a far reaching reply, Mr Macron also identified issues such as Islamist terrorism, drugs and weapons trafficking and human trafficking.


He said that although France hasd controlled dozens of colonial territories across Africa and accepted responsibility to help with infrastructure, education and heath, a “simple money transfer” was not the answer. Again he is correct, billions of Dollars, Punds, Euros, Francs, and Marks have been thrown at Africa's problems since the end of colonialism and yet the crises only ever seem to get worse.


The excerpt of his speech on Saturday went largely unnoticed during the wide-ranging G20 summit, which saw violent protests erupt in Hamburg. But an edited clip of his response being shared on social media has since provoked outrage, with the kind of loony left activists who set Hamburg alight accusing the French President of blaming women for poverty, being a Nazi and, inevitably, racism.


Media figures also criticised Mr Macron for referring only to “Africa”, rather than specific nations, ignoring huge differences across the world’s second largest continent (this may have been because there are few differences, even South Africa, following the death of Nelson Mandela is sliding rapidly back into the abyss of tribalism and corruption that is typical of African failed states. Writing for South Africa’s Daily Vox website, Mishka Wazar said: “Africa is not a country. You cannot, as a world leader (or even an ordinary person on the streets with no political ambitions) conflate African countries with ‘Africa’.”


Siddhartha Mitter, writing for Quartz Africa, commented: “Macron’s remarks fall into a tradition of grandiloquent and condescending statements about Africa that point to every cause of the continent’s difficulties other than colonialism and its enduring trace,” he wrote. “There is a long history of population panic and its use in racist ideology.”


Mr Macron called colonisation a during his election campaign called colonialism a“crime against humanity” but has been quiet on France’s troubled legacy since his election victory.<


He visited Mali, where thousands of French troops are bolstering local forces against an Islamist and separatist insurgency, during his first foreign tour in May and has restated France’s commitment to military intervention in the Sahel region.
