Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

EU announces “clear game plan” to “crack down” on unfriendly social media that boosted Trump and Brexit

Apr 3, 2018 12:19 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Europe is sinking further into totalitarianism:

Brussels is planning a crackdown on social media companies accused of “fake news” in the wake of a so-called scandal in which Facebook was allegedly used to help populist campaigns.

The hijrah has been welcomed by the European Union, bringing jihad attacks, the proliferation of no-go zones, sharia incursions, mass rapes and the like. Now the EU blames social media for resistance to its decisions that have resulted in massive chaos; EU leaders are blaming “fake news” for the Trump win and Brexit:

the European Commission has warned that Eurosceptic “disinformation” threatens to “subvert our democracy” after it was claimed the harvested data of social media users helped boost Brexit and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign via targeted messaging.

With the Visegrad group, along with pro-democracy political groups and individuals who are opposing the EU’s suicidal immigration policies, and insidious pro-sharia reforms, the EU has decided to implement  a “clear game plan” of shutting down the free flow of information, bringing itself further in line with fascist regimes. At the same time, the EU absurdly refers to pro-democracy news as “fake news,” a threat to  “subvert our democracy,” “populism” and “Russian propaganda”.

Even French President Emmanuel Macron has promised a law to ban what he calls “fake news” during election campaigns. Many in his country, meanwhile, have been calling for the banning of the Salafi ideology and the deportations of thousands of jihad terrorists — because of accurate reporting about jihad, hate preaching from mosques, and escalating crime.

The European Union’s plan is to keep European citizens in the dark, so as to allow the Islamization of Europe to continue.

A highly regarded researcher and academic has warned that Muslims in Europe view migration as the start of the Islamisation of the continent. Prof. Abdessamad Belhaj also detailed how globalists are using Muslim migrants to turn Western countries into socially divided societies of easily-controlled consumers.

“EU Plans Social Media Crackdown on Eurosceptic ‘Disinformation’ as Guardian Retracts Key Details in Cambridge Analytica Story”, by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, April 2, 2018:

Brussels is planning a crackdown on social media companies accused of “fake news” in the wake of a so-called scandal in which Facebook was allegedly used to help populist campaigns.

According to the Financial Times, the European Commission has warned that Eurosceptic “disinformation” threatens to “subvert our democracy” after it was claimed the harvested data of social media users helped boost Brexit and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign via targeted messaging.

European security commissioner Jonathan King has ordered the creation of a “clear game plan” on how social media companies will operate during election periods, calling for information on algorithms used to promote stories, disclosure of content sponsors and restrictions on the harvesting of personal data for political purposes.

“Psychometric targeting activities” are just a “preview of the profoundly disturbing effects such disinformation could have on the functioning of liberal democracies”, King said in a letter to Mariya Gabriel, EU commissioner for the digital economy.

With the recent revelation the technology was used by Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign to gain access to information on the “entire social graph” of Facebook, Breitbart News noted that press coverage of the former president’s “widely known” data harvesting operation was “casual, even celebratory”, with no suggestion it could constitute “disinformation” or “threaten democracy”.

In the letter dated March 19, King proposed the EU take a”more binding approach” than self-regulation, including “clearly and carefully defined performance indicators” ahead of European Parliament elections next month.

“It is clear that the cyber-security threat we are facing is changing from one primarily targeting systems to one that is also increasingly about deploying cyber means to manipulate behaviour, deepen societal divides, subvert our democratic systems and raise questions about our democratic institutions,” he writes…..

    The mirror image of Fascism, is still Fascism.
    It is on the march again in Europe and is making headway in the US.
    An Orwellian redefinition of language turns freedom of speech into ‘hate’ that must be ‘eliminated’.
    The new Fascism is based on the idea that it is unlawful to criticize or offend the most wretched, dependent and criminal segments of your society.
    When you know who you cannot name or criticize, you know who your masters are.

    ‘…the European Commission has warned that Eurosceptic “disinformation” threatens to “subvert our democracy” …’

    Ha, that’s a laugh. Not one post in Commission is elected. They are all appointments. The EU’s “parliament,” which is elected, is toothless; it cannot produce legislation or direct the bureaucracy (in fact, the bureaucracy directs it). The EU is anti-democratic. It is the enemy of democracy!

    Europeans love their monarchs, royal families, tyrants and their individual and collective status as serfs. Were it otherwise, they would not find themselves in this situation. The handful that think or act otherwise are going to be crushed within a year or two.

      There appears to be only two possible directions for the EU – totalitarianism, or, speaking truth which might lead to war with Islam while restoring Europe to greatness.

      Since the EU ministers have no intention of associating, working with, or living by, the “Working Class”, the smoother road toward totalitarianism, paved with “I won’t be here when it happens”, is irresistible.

    OFF TOPIC & of no import to you…
    ===========================

    As many of you know, I am Anglo-German and I am proud of both my nations, of both sides of my inheritance. That also includes the Wehrmacht, a great fighting force, The US, Russia and the British Empire needed nearly 5-6 years to defeat it! Such force that the Israelis named their army the “Israeli Defense Force” = “Israelische Wehrmacht”. Now, the Germans have the ‘Bundeswehr’, which used to be quite respectable…

    But in Merkel’s Germany (it used to be the real Germany, you know), there’s one of her hench-women by name of Ursula van der Leyen. She is Merkel’s Minister of Defense. She has just ordered that there will be special uniforms, from field to day-to-day, for pregnant soldiers. You read that correctly – if you could be bothered.

    Why do I feel depressed?
    Maybe Snoopy has the answers?

        Thanks Pal, very kind of you. BTW, I just found this picture on Jouwatch (Journalistenwatch), an alternative German website.

        That’s the problem with “racism”. No one knows what “race” they are, and very few know what “race” is. For example, black and white are colors, not races. Different races are white, and the same is true for black. In the USA, people have such a diversity of genetics, they can’t figure what race they are even with a DNA test. Africa is more genetically diverse than America. Yet we hear about “racism” everyday. It is not a joke, but it should be.

      I can’t speak for the USSR or the British Empire but please don’t forget the USA was neutral from 1939 – 1941. In 1940 the USA had an Army about the size of the Netherlands. Hitler started to prepare Germany for total war when the Nazis took over in 1933 so Nazi Germany had a 6 year head start over Britain, the USSR, and the United States. If Hitler was so smart why did he risk a war with Britain and France in September 1939, invade his ally the USSR in June 1941, and declare war on the USA after his ally Japan attacked the USA Pacific Fleet at Pearl harbor in December 1941? I have the greatest respect for the German soldier and military but Hitler was a total incompetent who should have left running the war to his generals. America was not a military power in 1941 but it had the world’s largest economy. Why didn’t Hitler (or the Japanese) remember this when they went to war? It took 6 years to destroy the 3rd Reich and The Empire of Japan because of the enormous territory that managed to invade and conqueror. If the “genius” Hitler had waited 5 years to start WW II he might have had nukes and the world would be a different place today. Thank God he had an the biggest ego in history which made him the main reason Germany lost WW II.

      Good luck. Expose the double standard. Honor the courage of that woman who spoke truth to power. Anticipate arrest. If arrested, brave Englishmen and Women would surround the jail in a peaceful siege and march, and pray while marching, until the State releases those incarcerated.

      When the Mayor and the Metro Police send in the Saladins and Saracens (I see an ultimate irony in the choice of those nicknames for British armored cars) to break up the rebellious assembly, well take up your pikes and your pitchforks and make your stand. That is eventually what it is going to come to if you value your freedom.

      Actually, while she loved the United States most of all–while noting that even here things were not perfect–she recognized Europe as the seat of freedom and democracy, and all of the West as much freer than the rest of the world overall.

      What is happening there now is a betrayal of all the freedom developed in the West.

    Now, THERE’s a plan:

    Blame “fake news” for the ineptitude of the EU in protecting its citizens, then subvert and deny the will of the people and keep them in the dark about the ever-increasing threat to their way of life, and the threat -literally- to their lives themselves.

    I’ve heard this called “mushrooming”: Keep them in the dark, and feed them bullsh*t.

    US Holocaust Memorial Museum

    Much of this began with the lies against the Serbs, especially the lie that the Serbs carried out a massacre of Muslims in Srebrenica. The story of this is a very sophisticated set of lies which were fabricated by a very sophisticated lying machine centred on Germany, Britain, France and the United States.

    I first became aware of the role of the Museum above in this through articles written by Jared Israel of Emperors New Clothes (tenc.net) quite a number of years ago but in searching today I found this…

    “Tarik Samarah is a freelance photographer based in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Between July and December 2002, he documented the legacy of Srebrenica. “After Auschwitz the world said never again,” Samarah states, explaining the project, “but Srebrenica happened. After Srebrenica, massacres and crimes continue. . . . I would be ashamed to be speechless or quiet in this kind of world.” He has used his photographs of the legacy of Srebrenica to help bring greater awareness of the atrocities that were committed when it fell to Serbian troops in 1995. He has displayed some of the images on billboards across Bosnia in September 2003, and in July 2005, on billboards in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. In 2003, he donated a collection of his work documenting the fall of Srebrenica to what will become part of the permanent exhibition at the Srebrenica Memorial Center in Potocari, Bosnia. His work has been displayed in Bosnia, Austria, and Germany. A temporary exhibit of his work, titled “Abandoned at Srebrenica: Ten Years Later,” opened at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on July 11, 2005. He is represented by the Italian agency, Grazia Neri.”
    https://www.ushmm.org/confront-genocide/speakers-and-events/biography/tarik-samarah

    I cannot answer this fully here at this point but I am certain that the present system of lying began with the lies against the Serbs and if anybody is serious about fighting these lies today they have to take the lies against the Serbs real serious. (I will obviously be writing more on this)

    If Islam is a religion of peace that they keep saying then why would there be any problem with their being any critique on it. If its so good what have they got to hide and want to shut up anyone who critiques it. Smells like deception and rotten eggs to me.and typical communist like oppressive submission of people which is against everything our freedom of speech and democracy stands for. All EU politicians should be fired and replaced that would not allow any critique of Islam like is allowed of any other group. religion or ideology. They are self entitled elitist cowards that follow the crowd to be safe themselves but at expense of the very people they are elected to serve and protect. In doing so these politicians are being traitors to the very freedoms they are elected to uphold. This is terrible and quite frankly evil and wrong.
