The European Union (EU) loves talking about freedom, democracy and human rights but beneath the high minded rhetoric does not much like any of those things.. Just look at the press releases launching its latest attack on free speech in the name of protecting against any threat to democracy, such as Germany's AfD, a framework for the suppression of debate called the European Democracy
Shield, which promises to protect everything from “free people” to “free
elections” to — this being Brussels — “a vibrant civil society”. All
admirable stuff, perhaps, at least on paper. In reality, though, the
Democracy Shield is just the latest vision in unfreedom: suppressing dissent and policing speech under the pretext of defending democracy and human rights from misinformation, disinformation, foreign interference and fake news.
Dictators, including bureaucratic dictators, always make a priority of shutting down free speech and criminalising criticism of the regime. If the cap fits ........./.
As part of the Democracy Shield, the E U Commission proposes the creation
of a Content Monitoring Centre which would identify and remove “false content”
and “disinformation” from the internet. As Henna Virkkunen, Executive
Vice President for Security and Democracy, stated, the Shield will
enable Europe to “respond faster and more effectively to information
manipulation and hybrid threats”.
The EU’s High Representative for
Foreign and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, made no secret of the
anti-Russian nature of the initiative: “we are seeing campaigns,
including from Russia, specifically designed to polarise our citizens,
undermine trust in our institutions and pollute politics in our
countries.”
One may ask if the Brussels bureaucrats plan to do anything about protecting people from the minisformation, propaganda and downright lies about Russia being spread by mainstream media, or the deafening silence over Ukraine's latest corruption scandal which has revealed how monies donated by EU and NATO nations to fund the war against Russia has ended up in the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs and associates of the crooked comedian president, Zelensky.
For years Brussels has been preaching “freedom” while quietly building the
biggest censorship machine Europe’s ever seen. The shiny new “Democracy
Shield” sounds like something out of a Marvel Comics superhero blockbuster, but it’s really a
bureaucratic cosh aimed squarely at anyone who strays from the approved
script. In its intended effect The Democracy Shield is similar to the UK Labour government's Online Safety Bill which tries to protct people from seeing anything the government does not want them to see. The authoritarian left has always tried to cover its malfeasance by suppressing free speech.
Behind the PR fluff sits a Monitoring Centre with the power to scrub
“false content” from the internet. And who decides what’s false? Who decides what is mininformation, disinformation or 'hate speech'. You will not be surprised to learn it is the same Eurocrats and media outlets who’ve been caught peddling propaganda lies on Russia, Net Zero, Immigration, Crime, COVID, And Donald Trump themselves — from von der Leyen’s fantasy about Russian GPS
jamming to the BBC’s creative editing of a Trump speech.
Then comes the money hose. Billions in EU cash poured into NGOs, research, academic publications, newspapers and “independent fact-checkers” who, by sheer
coincidence, all push the same pro-Brussels, anti-national, progressive
line. This isn’t civil society, it’s a taxpayer-funded campaign to gas light the taxpayers.
The EU claims it’s defending democracy. In reality, it’s strangling it one regulation, one fact-checker, one silenced critic at a time. Social instotutions at all levels have been perverted by what the French call the Pensée unique, from political debate in the media, through everyday dialogue to education. But education has shown us such social engineering does not work.
Schoolkids have been exposed to leftist nonsense for 20+ years now,
but as we see they are some of the most right leaning part of the
electorate. The rise of Trumpism and the siccess of [eople like Charlie Kirk in the USA, Tommy Robinson in Britain, Marine le Pen in France and Geert Wilders in Netherlands are part of the backlash.
Support for Transgenderism and LGBT Pride is the lowest in 10 years. Many European citizens
are sick and pissed off at the constant exhortations to support Ukraine and are aware that whenever a peace inititiative is put forward it is the crazy Ukies rather than Russia that derails it.
The EU globalist establishment has been trying for years to convince people the pensée unique is the right way, the ONLY right way of thinking, that have the mandate to govern akin to the divine right claimed by medieval Kings, and yet look at the mess just about every developed nation is in due to the
They used all the power of the state, the media, intelligient but pliable people like Stephen Fry, Brian Cox, David Attenborough, and thickos like Katy Perry, George Cloony, David Beckham and Lenny Henry to promote their narrative, and they failed.
So latest attck on free speech will be an expensive flop for the EU, which is par the course
for the course. Peop;e will use VGPNs or blockchain systems to circumvent the censoring internet servers. Nobody trusts the EU, governments or the media any more As they say how do you know they are lying? Their lips are moving.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations
As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow. Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.

The question that should be asked isn't if Russia wants to eradicate Ukrainians en masse.
It certainly is the current strategy, but Putin wouldn't have sat down in Istanbul in 2022 and hashed out an agreement if that was the initial purpose.
The real question that the thinkers need to be asking is if Zelensky's (and his handlers) actual goal in all of this was to kill of white, Slavic Christian males en masse, disguised as valor, because they have done all they can to ensure Russia will not now accept the very reasonable terms they offered Ukraine in 2022.
Increasingly, I'm convinced this is the case.
