Here is Turley giving his account of the anti-free speech movement in the EU. Hillary Clinton using the forum to push for the EU to impose fines on X for allowing free speech.



And then, what do you know? The EU did just that with the Digital Services Act. $140 million.

Quote:

The European Commission said Friday it was fining Elon Musk's social media app X with the equivalent of $140 million, saying that it had breached the bloc's digital rulebook a move that will likely draw the ire of the American government.

The European Commission found that X violated the Digital Services Act, a sweeping 2022 law that requires internet companies to aggressively combat hate speech and misinformation.

The law one of the most far-reaching attempts to fight problematic material online mandates that companies set up policies and procedures to remove posts deemed illegal by countries within the 27-country union.

The penalty drew swift condemnation from Vice President JD Vance even before the European Commission announced it.

"Rumors swirling that the E.U. commission will fine X hundreds of millions of dollars for not engaging in censorship. The EU should be supporting free speech not attacking American companies over garbage," Vance said in a post on X on Thursday afternoon.

Just block the entire EU from accessing the site, and then tell them to take the fine and shove it.

Exactly. I would laugh in their face and tell them to pound sand.

Most of Europe is lost. I'm just waiting for the first country to pull out of that abortion of a dystopian entity. We should get a pool going on who will be the first.

It has been stated many times that the only way this country will fall is from within.

And the Democrats have been leading this push for decades, slowly chipping away at our freedoms.

Better yet, if they don't like it, they can block it themselves. Put the onus on them. The people of Europe need to decide for themselves.

And make sure all the irate European citizens know the name of everyone in their governments that forced the action. It might soon resolve itself.

I posted about this a few months ago and surprise, surprise, he was an "immigrant," meaning an invader. Also, turn off all their Starlink satellites and refuse to carry any eurotrash satellites into orbit.
The Eruopeans are really becoming scum. Wanting us to fund the war and still buying Billlions and billions of dollars in oil from Putin. Acting like the Stassi toward their own citizens and kissing the Chicoms asses every chance they get. F them!!

Funny, they didn't care when Twitter was pushing all sorts of lies because it was about the right.

This is play by play exactly what they Bolsheviks did in the 1920s when they were setting up the Soviet courts for retributove justice. Read or listen to the Gulag Archipeligo and it's uncanny how the leftists in the police and the judiciary just follow in exactly the same footsteps as their predecessors. They are enacting Article 139 of the Soviet Criminal Code of 1926.

Quote:

In the Criminal Code of 1926 there was a most stupid Article 139 "on the limits of necessary self-defense" according to which you had the right to unsheath your knife only after the criminal's knife was hovering over you. And you could stab him only after he had stabbed you. And otherwise you would be the one put on trial. (And there was no article in our legislation saying that the greater criminal was the one who attacked someone weaker than himself.) This fear of exceeding the measure of necessary self-defense lead to total spinelessness as a national characteristic. A hoodlum once began to beat up the Red Army man Aleksandr Zakharov outside a club. Zakharov took out a folding penknife and killed the hoodlum. And for this he got….ten years for plain murder! "And what was I supposed to do?" he asked, astonished. Prosecutor Artsishevsky replied: "You should have fled!" So tell me, who creates hoodlums?


That excerpt from The Gulag Archipelago is from a blog post in 2014 that contains the following passage. Kudos to Joe Huffman for seeing what was happening in the UK over a decade ago.

https://blog.joehuffman.org/2014/07/23/quote-of-the-day-aleksandr-i-solzhenitsyn/

Quote:

The USSR created hoodlums just as the UK is creating them now and our political opponents in the U.S. appear to want to create. What is even more chilling is that in the USSR the political leaders openly wrote about how the thieves "were allies in the building of communism". This was because they were the enemy of those who owned property.

One must have a diplomatic passport to speak freely in the EU.

They will bide their time, and when she returns to Europe in 14 years without a diplomatic passport, they will immediately arrest her and throw her in jail, no matter how many 3rd world rapists they have to free to make space for her.
Who am I kidding? They don't jail rapists who are also able to perform some type of enrichment ceremony at the same time on their victim.

Germany had to increase their natural gas imports because they shut down their nuclear power plants.

Nice job breaking it, Greenies!

Remember those stupid German diplomats laughing at Trump in 2018 when he was warning them about being too dependent on Russian energy and that they should be buying natural gas from the US.
