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

Facebook shuts down Danish news outlet critical of EU, mass migration

Apr 13, 2019 5:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Ahead of Danish elections, Facebook “has banned a Danish news outlet critical of the EU, immigration and mainstream media two times in a single day.”

Many Europeans have been brought to chaos due to Muslim migration and the unwillingness of many Muslim migrants to assimilate. Frustration in the face of reckless immigration policies has given rise to the populist movement, so now Facebook has decided to up the ante in its interference with the Danish political process.

Social media expert Johan Farkas of Malmö University called the measure “extraordinary”. “It is highly unusual that Facebook throws out a Danish media. As far as I know, this is a first”, Farkas said.

“Facebook Pulls Plug on Anti-Immigration News Site Ahead of Danish Elections,” Sputnik News, April 12, 2019:

The social media giant has banned a Danish news outlet critical of the EU, immigration and mainstream media two times in a single day. The blackout occurred after a state broadcaster blew the whistle ahead of looming general elections.

The Danish alternative news outlet 24Nyt has had its Facebook page with over 34,000 followers closed. State-owned Danish Radio (DR) has acknowledged its role in the shutdown.

According to 24Nyt, Facebook announced that its page “doesn’t follow Facebook’s policy”, which is the standard message for users and organisations who have their profiles switched off. “It is known that people and media critical of immigration are exposed to Facebook’s censorship”, 24Nyt suggested.

The same day, 24Nyt started a new Facebook page that was also subsequently shut down.

Later, state-run Danish Radio acknowledged its part in the shutdown of their independent competitor.

A week ago, DR contacted Facebook and presented a dossier of 24Nyt’s actions on their platform, triggering an investigation. Facebook later confirmed that 24Nyt’s page had been closed with info from that exact investigation, but without disclosing the reason.

Danish Radio described 24Nyt as a page “that urged to fight against established media and left-wing bias”. Danish Radio also admitted that over the past two years, 24Nyt had had a “significant impact” on Facebook, which is now “over”.

Social media expert Johan Farkas of Malmö University called the measure “extraordinary”.

“It is highly unusual that Facebook throws out a Danish media. As far as I know, this is a first”, Farkas said.

24Nyt was banned from Facebook only weeks or months before the Danish election, which is to be held no later than June this year…..

    This is not the year 2019. This is 1984, every year is the year of nineteen eighty four. God damn it all to hell!

      Facebook’s sole motive is the profit motive. It serves the board of directors who maximize profit. If ideology slows their profit, they must censor the ideology. Facebook is a capitalist project to make money … lots of money. They have ZERO and I mean ZERO interest in freedom or any such noble idea. They want CASH and will exclude ANYONE … even someone with the purest of motives who harms their profit.

      Arabs currently have TOO MUCH UNEARNED MONEY from all the plankton that lived in the Jurassic period. The Arabian countries do virtually nothing but count the cash as foreign oil companies do the work of removing the oil and building the facilities that do it.

      We should immediately stop buying Arab and Persian oil and use electricity and hydrogen for all our power needs. Things will then return to sanity and the perverse ideology of political Islam will be resounding attacked by the learned and rejected by the masses. When Islam is rejected, the world will have golden future of relative peace, harmony and international cooperation.

      A new replacement for Facebook must be created with principles of freedom of expression spelled out in a binding constitution that cannot be overturned by devious corporations and amoral, insane billionaires like George Soros … the real-life Dr. Evil.

        The only trouble with hydrogen is, on Mother Earth it has to be made either through electrolysis or steam reforming, which is what refineries do to make hydrogen for hydrocrackers. And the by-product of that is carbon dioxide.

          CO2, a life gas. While everybody seems to be “ginned up” over CO2, it should be noted that the “safe” level of CO2 in our Nuclear Sub Fleet is 8000 ppm, and for the ISS is 5000 ppm.

          Optimal levels for plants would be over 1000; we’re at about 400 now. You are aware of the fact that, while we are in a period of no warming for 2 decades now, CO2 levels have continued to rise…..

          Who would have thought that “Global Warming” (and cooling) has something to do with this giant flaming ball we see in the skies. lol

        I agree that a large part of the problem today is that many people (and particularly those in power/in the establishment) are greedy for money and the easiest place to get it is by kowtowing to the Muslim countries with oil, plus of course our countries are so dependent on oil that we literally cannot manage without it? I think part of the reason Trump is able to be more dismissive of these countries is because of the successful shale gas exploration in the US. If we could also pursue fracking in the UK and other countries it would mean that the global balance of power could start to shift away from the oil-rich Muslim countries. Is it a coincidence that militant Islam has reared its ugly head again in the years since the oil crisis in the 1970s when the West had to become subservient to ensure an oil supply?

        absolutely not. read alinsky. facebook is a cultural institution. the alinsky method is take over cultural institutions and turn them into political tools to attack your enemies. exactly what Barack Obama and James Brennan did with our National Security Infrastructure when it spied on the Trump campaign.

        facebook is controlled by leftists who are turning it from a carrier of speech and ideas into a culturally marxist tool for propaganda. which is why liberals cried so loudly that that was what Russians were doing….always accuse your enemy to disguise your treachery.

          Yes, but we went over this and over this before…NSA was first brought to be by Reagan as an Executive Order and its still going as such. Whenever a person on our landmass calls or contacts something foreign, its supposed to be relayed from NSA to FBI to FISA who are also to relay to CIA and they are supposed to check into things like money laundering, especially when banks are involved. People used to talk about NSA. Its been going many years. But if anyone tries to do anything, they are put in prison or end up like Snowden. It is not just a left or right thing. No one knows what to do and the POWER is with the monied and they like things fine as they are. Repubs & Dems too.

      Censorship.

      Coming soon to a platform near you.

      This is what the future looks like. One piece at a time, for one excuse or another. But sooner or later they are coming for all platforms that speak the truth. I agree, it should not happen, it should not be possible, it should be stopped. It is wrong. It is against freedom of speech and human rights in general. But all the right reasons won’t stop it from happening because the globalists, who have much more power than all of us combined, want this. It is their Orwellian dream.

      I’ll tell you what I am really angry about……the saying that if you are critical of immigration or if someone is critical of the way Islam/Qur’an tries to make people think that persecution and Supremacy are good things….that they must be some RiGHT sided political thing. Like ALL people on the Left have to think mass illegal immigration or settlements of all Muslim lifestyles rejecting what they are taught are ‘Evil Western Values’, is a wonderful world changing event of one sided ‘tolerance’ by the rest of us. This really is not a left vs right thing. Not at All, as people from all over the spectrum are getting a glimpse of reality. A small glimpse but if don’t smarten up soon, it will be too late to fix. Groups of persecution and Supremacy should not BE and that includes Nazigroups, Islam, KKKlan and white Supremacists AND ESPECIALLY NOT IN OUR GOVERNMENT. So Ignorant and actually so lazy of people not to research that there might be a problem some are trying to Warn about.
      This is not a thing for VOTES.
      This is a thing of survival of Constitutional USA, which is worth saving. Not all the vulture capitalism, inequality, greed and money buying candidates or Congressional votes, not all the corruption and secret deep state garbage & wars for Private Corporate profit on a Globalist scale, ETC, but American is not only that! We are not only that and to use that as an Excuse to bring down the roof is so superficial, so Insane, can people of USA really be this daft? (I have heard people from other countries say we are but show me where they are not anymore. Not Sweden or Denmark anymore)

    Do they not recall the Danish cartoonist who feared for his life after drawing the mass murderer, raper of children? The government…through its radio…is giving in to fear of islam or it is complicit in the goals of moslims to completely take over the world for their beast and satan.

      It is actually a whole slew of cartoonists at Jyllands Posten who are under threat for having drawn Muhammed cartoons. Kurt Westergaard is just the most famous.

    There should be some way to stop facebook from doing something like this. It reminds me of the way the Obama government was discriminating against conservatives using the powers of the IRS and FBI, CIA, etc. They only care about power. The idea of freedom of speech does not matter anymore

    It’s outrageous the Facebook wants to control information that people may receive.

    The electorate needs to be well-informed or they will choose politicians who will betray the interests of the people.

    Corruption, bad policies and secret deals need to be exposed or the media are no more than propaganda loudspeakers.

    Apr 13, 2019 at 8:02 pm

    It’s Farcebook and not Facebook. Proceed from this premise, which is to say mock it and mock it regularly, and perhaps the truth will supersede this destrutor of truth.

    Farcebook is part of the problem and in no way part of any defensible solution. Oh yeah, proceed from this premise.

    Generations of Western Europeans have been inculcated by the Left into acceptance of the meme that ‘atonement’ for their ancestral sins can only come through political, cultural and national suicide.

    Their leaders with majority support, (proven by the Danish alternative news outlet 24Nyt having on its Facebook page ONLY 34,000 followers…) are importing millions of Muslims to transform Europe into part of a new Caliphate. Islam is happy to assist W. Europe’s determination to commit suicide.

    People cannot be saved… from themselves.

    Using google without tracking.SO easy.
    Did you now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startpage.com ?
    THey use google but without tracking/personal adds and i think also without “Infos about so called FakeNews Sites”.

    Also ofcourse you can use duckduckgo etc.

    I think this must be spread because we know the big tech companys are using their money against us.

    IT IS THE MONEY that drives all of this migration, the corp. world wants cheap labor and consumers. Well they are getting consumers, working if you are a Muslim seems to be against their religion. They are lazy blood suckers on society. It never helps society to bring in a large number of uneducated and unskilled people that the citizens are now going to have to support for decades.

    More disturbing is that trusted Social Media platforms can engage in censorship. Slowly, what we consider “Freedom of Speech” rights are being eroded under the guise of prohibiting bad feelings towards singular entities possibly acting to jeopardize our current society and traditions. In effect, we are removing rights to discussion that have traditionally advanced our Western society, creating a vacuum for allowing specialized interests and social engineering to usurp time tested values previously attained in a democratic way.
