The Death of European Democracy
Plus: Trump Announces Truce in 30 Year War in the Congo

Three items:


Europe's woke police state is chasing social conservatives down and arresting them for... speaking.

Last week, a young Dutch woman was arrested outside an abortion clinic in Utrecht in the Netherlands. Thirty-five weeks pregnant herself, she had offered leaflets to two people; one took a brochure, the other declined. The police arrived and, without evidence, arrested the woman on fictitious allegations of "disturbing the peace." It was the ninth recent arrest made for peacefully engaging in pro-life outreach outside an abortion facility, even though it is not against the law to do so.

It is the third arrest for the young woman--who chose to remain unidentified--and at times she has been held in jail for three to six hours. Two other Dutch women have been similarly arrested three times each. Dirkje de Ruiter, for example, was arrested last year outside a clinic in Utrecht before she had even passed out a single leaflet; the police informed her that, despite doing nothing illegal, her mere presence constituted "disorder."

De Ruiter had been previously arrested in Rotterdam; a couple turned away from the clinic as the officers were confronting her. "When I arrived at the police station, all my things had to be handed in, and I was put in a cell measuring 2 metres by 1.5 metres," she told me. "Some of my clothes had to come off, and I was given a blanket against the cold. In the cell I thanked God for the life that had been saved... I was not afraid." Again: De Ruiter had not broken any laws.

The arrests of citizens doing peaceful pro-life outreach in the Netherlands are part of a broader continental crackdown on social conservatives, usually Christian, for expressing their beliefs in public. In Brussels earlier this month, Lois McLatchie of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and Chris Elston, the anti-trans ideology activist known to his social media followers as "Billboard Chris," were arrested, strip-searched, and detained for hours by police merely for holding signs reading "Children Are Never Born In The Wrong Body" and "Children Cannot Consent To Puberty Blockers." Their signs were destroyed. They were charged with no crime.

In the United Kingdom, pro-lifers have been arrested for the thought crime of silent prayer so frequently that the Trump administration took the extraordinary step in March of sending "a team of U.S. officials to the UK to investigate concerns over freedom of speech restrictions," according to GB News. Diplomats from the U.S. Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, led by State Department adviser Samuel Samson, met with five British pro-lifers who had been arrested for silent prayer at clinics across the country.

One woman was arrested for being silent. The police feared that she might be "praying in her head," which would create a disturbance.

Meanwhile, the UK has delivered over white working class girls to be raped and groomed for a life of forced prostitution by Pakistani rape gangs.

No worry there about creating a disturbance -- unless you point these crimes out. Then you get arrested for a breach of the peace and hate speech.


The EU is all-in crushing "hate speech" in Europe -- and in America as well.


Happy International Day for Countering Hate Speech, to all who celebrate.

Wednesday, June 18th, apparently marked the third ever day against so-called hate speech, as well as the start of the Council of Europe's No Hate Speech Week.

The theme of this year's No Hate Speech Week is about as pithy and inspiring as you might imagine: "Enhance legal and non-legal measures against hate speech through a multi-stakeholder approach." In practice, this means brainstorming the ways in which the European Union can keep control of the narrative, especially on social media.

Council of Europe chief Alain Berset made this clear when he opened the festivities with a speech in Strasbourg yesterday. "Hate speech is not an isolated issue," he said, "but a part of a deeper challenge--to trust, to truth, to democracy itself." This might be true according to the topsy-turvy definitions of Eurocratic newspeak. But in reality, free speech is a fundamental part of any democracy. The right for people to say whatever they like, no matter how crude, offensive, or hateful, is crucial for a society to remain open and free.

Berset also declared: "Hate begins with words but does not end there. The Council of Europe has been clear: hate speech and hate crime are not separate problems--they exist on a continuum."

What they mean by "hate speech," of course, is the speech of anyone arguing that they do not want their countries to become outer suburbs of Islamabad.

The transnational elites thereby protect their deeply unpopular policies from challenge by the old methods known by all tyrants: they will simply criminalize any attempts to change the policy.

No Hate Speech week is just the latest strategy in the EU's censorship crackdown. The main culprit is the Digital Services Act (DSA), the draconian piece of legislation that polices 'harmful content' online. According to the DSA, even interviewing a former president of the United States could constitute hate speech. This was the conclusion last year of Thierry Breton, the then European Commissioner in charge of enforcing the DSA. In the run-up to the U.S. presidential elections, Breton warned that Musk livestreaming an interview with Donald Trump on X could violate EU law on spreading "harmful content."

The idea that merely giving air time to a presidential candidate might be so hateful as to break the law is beyond reason. But the EU has been waging a spiteful war against Musk, a self-professed free-speech absolutist. Since 2023, the European Commission has been investigating his social-media platform, due to Musk's commitment to allowing users to post virtually whatever they want. The EU alleged that X failed to comply with the DSA. Falling foul of the DSA could technically see X banned across Europe, but it is more likely that Musk will face a fine of somewhere around $1 billion.

You're never going to believe this, but Germany, of all countries, is embracing full Nazism.

Police in Germany have executed more than 170 operations targeting people they referred to as "digital arsonists".

Starting early on the morning of June 25, officers from the Federal Criminal Police Office raided the homes of people suspected of running "criminal posts" online.

The police move was not the first such in Germany, where it is flagged a "day of action", targeting alleged authors of "online hate and hate messages".

This was the 12th time that the police took such nationwide action against so-called politically motivated crime (PMK).

Two-thirds of those people whom officers hit had reportedly made right-wing radical statements. The police also went after alleged religious extremists and left-wing radicals.

The targeted speech was speech demanding an end to open borders. Some other speakers were also arrested so it wouldn't be so obvious the state was attempting to arrest its citizens until they complied.

But Germany also decided to arrest citizens for referring to the morons that make up its government as morons.

That's right, insulting a f*cking politician is now against the law in Germany.


The raids also included people who were suspected of violating a specific part of the German criminal code, namely those who allegedly insulted politicians.

German politicians have been increasingly using this law, leading to hefty fines against those found guilty of calling politicians "morons", for example, or mocking them with degrading images.

Greens politicians in particular have made efforts to seek redress against who insulted them.

...

Starting from 6am, police officers searched the houses of suspects and confiscated computers, mobile phones and tablets.

"Digital arsonists must not be able to hide behind their cell phones or computers", North Rhine-Westphalian interior minister Herbert Reul, a Christian Democratic Union MP, told news agency dpa.

"Many people have forgotten the difference between hatred and opinion, but it's so simple: If you don't do it in the real world, it's not appropriate to do it digitally. It's time for more attitude, offline and online."

And that's the real goal: they want to make people afraid to voice their opinions on unlimited third world immigration in the real world polling stations.

Meanwhile: Trump announces a peace deal between Congo and Rwanda, ending 30 years of grueling warfare. The deal was brokered by Marco Rubio.

Judge Boasberg has issued an emergency injunction ordering Congo and Rwanda to continue killing each other.

16 That Rwanda-Congo war stretches back to the Hutu-Tutsi massacres when Bill Clinton was President. Although that was it's own conflict, once it was over the various sides went to their various strongholds on both sides of the border and continued raiding and killing each other. It got to where good sized cities were being taken, and the governments got involved, and that evolved into what Trump brokered an end to today.

27 I saw this video of that woman talking about how she reached out to Biden but got nowhere standing next to Trump. I had no idea who she was so asked Grok. Grok said it was Candace Owens. WTH? That was the second time Grok obviously was wrong. Couple of days ago I asked who was standing next to Trump in a yellow dress and Grok said it was Melania(obviously not she wasn't even on the NATO trip) when it was the Queen of the Netherlands. I found this disturbing. So obvious and to it so wrong.

78 I've been to Europe dozens of times. And I go to out-of-the-way non-tourist places always. And I never stay in hotels --only private homes, via Airbnb or VRBO or whatever. As a result I've come into contact and been in friendly conversations with many, many Europeans over the last several years. And I can confidently report that the VAST majority of Europeans are secretly r not-so-secretly (what we in American would call) "conservative" on most issues. 80+% are anti-immigration. 65+% are against the welfare state. 90+% are pro-free-speech. 100% hate all their politicians.

Not sure how long the "progressive fascism" currently strangling Europe can last. I suspect not long. "Right-wing" parties will soon get elected in France, Netherlands, the U.K. Germany, etc. Just ypu wait and see.

Well, first of all, as Oldcat noted above at #82, all these countries have attempted to literally BAN any anti-immigration parties, and when that doesn't work, they rig elections to keep them out of power, and when that doesn't work, the other parties all unify to form an untenable "coalition government" whose sole purpose is to deny conservatives power. But the numbers are growing overwhelming, and each year it gets more and more difficult to stymie the voters. Secondly, people are frustrated and politically impotent, and many have just given up even trying to vote. But anger is ciontinuing to rise.

I've been watching German elections for a while. They have staggered elections spaced apart, so even if the parties in power lose one, they have time to patch up the holes in the decking. They have half a dozen anonymous acronym parties that mean nothing, so if insurgents kill one there's five more. And they can make a coalition to rule by adding one more to the government. They also have some nutcase parties for flavor. These local elections tend not to put real issues up but local ones.

The 'acceptable' parties can collude to exclude the populist almost forever. It has always been my view that Parliamentary systems with more than 2 parties were failures.

Seems like it was designed to keep Germany from going Nazi. The result is Germany has gone Nazi.

126 Europe has never been about liberty or rights, or even communism or socialism. Its always been about the elites having power and everyone serving them. Chieftains in tribes, feudal lords, kings with divine right to power, its been a consistent pattern for millennia. They never abandoned this, they just faked it for about 50 years and have gotten exactly back to form.

Criticizing the king used to be a capital offense even if what you said was true. They're getting right back into that mode again.

What confuses me is their absolute, maniacal, extremist pro-abortion stance. Its crazy, Europe used to look positively restrained compared to the USA on abortion and now they're arresting people for silently praying outside a clinic and England just passed a law to allow abortion right up to birth. They LOVE them some baby killing.

For example, say you have an apple tree i your yard. Your neighbor comes and picks an apple to eat with his breakfast. A minor trespass right? But as time goes by and he does it repeatedly, then starts taking one for each of his family. Eventually you become angry and yell at him to stop. When he doesn't stop you punch him in the nose. Are you justifiably angry at him or do you hate him?

P.S. Feel free to substitute foreigner for neighbor and welfare provided by your tax money for apples in the above example.

Yes, there are two of them. This one is also known as "Congo-Kinshasa" (after the capital) and used to be called the Belgian Congo. The other one is called "Republic of the Congo" or "Congo-Brazzaville", and was formerly called the French Congo.

Equally shitholic, but different countries.

By the rule that more adjectives = shittier country (see, e.g., the Democratic People's Republic of Korea), you can guess that the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the slightly more shitholic of the two.

172 A senior advisor to Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was escorted out of the Pentagon and placed on administrative leave, according to a Defense Department official.

Dan Caldwell was suspended over an “unauthorized disclosure” of information amid an ongoing investigation into leaks from within the Pentagon. Caldwell, a foreign policy realist, previously worked with the restraint-oriented think tank Defense Priorities and Concerned Veterans for America, which was formerly led by Hegseth. He has been a vocal advocate for significantly reducing the U.S. military presence in Europe and withdrawing troops from Iraq and Syria.

173 137 Here's something to ponder.
What is the difference between hate, and are these Euro ppliticians conflating the two?

For example, say you have an apple tree i your yard. Your neighbor comes and picks an apple to eat with his breakfast. A minor trespass right? But as time goes by and he does it repeatedly, then starts taking one for each of his family. Eventually you become angry and yell at him to stop. When he doesn't stop you punch him in the nose. Are you justifiably angry at him or do you hate him?

P.S. Feel free to substitute foreigner for neighbor and welfare provided by your tax money for apples in the above example.

I've read his tome, The Social Contract where he explains his populist tinged "General Will" of the people. But, he also superimposes magistrates that are to act in accordance with General Will as the government. In the rare cases where the magistrates no longer represent the 'General Will' faithfully, Rosseau sotto voce allows the people to exercise their power to remove them via revolution.

Rousseau was a nasty little pervert, proto commie, and far less persuasive in his work (fortunately for the US Framing) than was Locke and his Second Treatise regarding the social contract. The difference is Locke based his Contract on protection of rights while Rousseau based his on the 'People (really the magistrates) getting what they want collectively'

Adams had a copy of Rousseau and read it--was not impressed. Dunno about Jefferson reading him, but I think the dirty bastard Rousseau's name never even came up in discussions at the Convention or the earlier Declaration of Independence.

224 In England now, the law is that is illegal if you pray silently in your own house if it is close enough to an abortion mill.

That was the insane part. A woman was arrested for silently praying outside an abortion mill. The court threw out the case because it wasn't illegal to think things, obviously.

So Parliament passed a law to make it illegal to think things. Literally. And England seems to be fine with that.

Bad times mean a return to the faith. Christianity is a philosophy for all times but always seems to get it biggest boost when times are bad.

The Old Testament is often depressing reading as his chosen people keep screwing up and lusting after things that the Lord hated which ultimately resulted in disaster and divine punishment. Bad times led to returning to the faith and a return to good fortune for a time until the times got good again. Then the fall.

Same pattern observed in the World at large including Christians.

244 Probably not an original observation, but one I think the whold "hate speech" concept came about from the Trojan horse of "hate crimes."

Originally, "hate crimes" were introduced, not as defining a separate type of crime, but as an intensifier, e.g. an assault motivated by racial or ethnic hatred, being punished more severely than an assault for some other reason.

When that got entrenched, the whole "hate"=illegitimate concept got legitimized among the broader public (not AoS types). From there it was a short bus stop to "hate" itself should be illegal, and therefore an expression of "hate" could itself be considered a crime.

This has them scared, bro. He weeds in his backyard and never drives. Has to let her know when he arrives and leaves work. Security measures to alert them to ICE. If they come for him her solution is to handcuff herself to him (I am writing what I read as Nelly Bly, Moron reporter at large). When asked why she did not have a gun her reply was she had a personality disorder and would probably kill herself. These are stable and normal people? And this is the fringes.

Another: illegal DACA bf from Brazil. He and EU gf got PhD's here and are moving to France (good). Both sciency and curing cancer or something. Waaa!

Anglicans in the UK have the problem that their own priests do not believe in the key tenets of their expressed faith. If the priests do not believe, then how would anyone expect that to appeal to those that attend.

Re France, militant Catholicism in the Army and royalist nostalgia caused the military to hate the Third Republic. The combination of the two in the military damn near caused defeat in WWI and things like the Dreyfus case.

In Germany, the faithful Catholics in the German army by and large were the opposite of those in France.

Reddit is filled with bots, authoritarian admin, and liars. It is very possible that some of those stories are lies or even bots.

When Iran went offline, suddenly posts for Scottish Independence virtually vanished. Most of social media is becoming bots talking to other bots.

277 Somehow I just don't see Nigel Farage as El Cid or Isabella and Ferdinand. He seems too comfortable with the invaders, he even has them in his party.

Nigel seems to be the only person in England who can organize a campaign for shit. But he isn't a zealot for immigration himself which has been a problem recently. He also has the common brit distain for lower class guys like Tommy Robinson.

One can never tell until they face the real challenges of being a leader. BoJo failed his Covid test for example. Truss on finalizing Brexit, and so on.

283 Despite all the things that still need fixing don't lose sight of the fact that many thought we were going to get our asses kicked last November and since then we have been on offense and winning fight after fight.

It didn't take 15 minutes to get here. Won't take 15 minutes to get out. But we are winning huge, substantive fights and the people are on our side.

It's ok to actually enjoy winning.

284 And the Genie interrupted him, "Why do you hate the Red Chinese so much?"
Tito replied, "The Chinese? Who CARES what the Chinese do, I am focusing on the Russians!"

----------------

If Tito's hatred of Russia was to be believed then why did he order Russian to be taught in all the schools? His Russia hatred was performative to extract funds and favors from the West.

285 "Trump announces a peace deal between Congo and Rwanda, ending 30 years of grueling warfare. The deal was brokered by Marco Rubio."

Clearly Trump hates black people. I mean, imagine interfering in 30 years of murder and mayhem. Leave them alone! Allow black people to be free without the white man's interference!

286 Honestly, in foreign affairs, Trump has legitimately accomplished more than every Dem President in the last 20.

1) kicked China out of Panama
2) Abraham accords
3) defanged Iran
3) Congo Peace Treaty.
4) Nato spending up.
5) A stack of free trade agreements coming down the pike.
6) Held out a chance for peace with Syria.
7) remain in Mexico back in effect.

I mean woof.

287 Who are the people making these arrests? The politicians have an excuse, they are after votes and power. The arresting officers don’t have that excuse. Is their pay, pension, and dental plan so good that they will enforce unjust laws or are they true believers?

Funny how, if we just bother to fight this stuff, it collapses almost overnight.

Illegals with criminal records being deported - people don't realize, a guy convicted of shoplifting isn't likely a first timer - he's a 10th timer. The guy convicted of kiddie porn is still out hustling. Getting rid of these people is going to help out the police hugely - vastly reducing the crime rate.
