President Trump’s masterful speech in Warsaw has flushed out the journalists and far-Left activists (but I repeat myself) eager to see the West’s culture and people extinguished. This we are told that President Trump had said something “shocking” because he defined the West by heritage, culture and identity rather than by “democracy and liberty.” But what is this “democracy and liberty?” Increasingly, First World patriots face a Cultural Marxist soft totalitarianism.Whatever “democracy” means to the MSM, it’s doesn’t mean a government run by the people which follows the general will of a citizen electorate. Instead, “democracy,” today, means oligarchic rule by people who actively despise the citizens and whose primary policy goal is to deconstruct the nation.
And far from than cracking down on the far-Left and overtly anti-German groups, the German government recently announced it would seek to further muzzle patriots who criticize what is being done to their country. Merkel’s government passed a law which will fine social networking sites up to 50 million euros if “illegal content” is not removed within a week, including so-called “fake news.”
“Freedom of speech ends where the criminal law begins,” said Justice Minister Heiko Maas, in an utterly Orwellian statement [Germany passes law against online hate speech, by Frank Jordans, Associated Press, June 30, 2017]. The loathsome Maas is already on record as condemning any German resistance to their orchestrated dispossession by the occupation government, blasting even the moderate Alternative for Germany party as unacceptable.
Not surprisingly, this explicit repression of dissent allows the anti-white Canadian government to force through dramatic policy changes. As Faith Goldy recently documented, Canada now has the fastest rate of ethnic change in the West, as Euro-Canadians are deliberately displaced in the country they created.
Britain is already under the rule of a “soft totalitarianism” where teachers and other government officials feel free to threaten anyone who merely makes a Politically Incorrect comment with legal sanctions. But as terrorism continues in the U.K. and the government refuses to permit discussion of the root causes, it appears likely this “soft totalitarianism” will be increasingly “hard.”
The new president, Emmanuel Macron, who appears utterly indifferent to the existence of the French nation, is promising a “Jupiterian” administration, almost a pseudo-monarchy, as well as sweeping reforms to the legislature which will increase his own power [In Sun King’s palace, Macron threatens to ram through parliament reform, by Ingrid Melander and Michael Rose, Reuters, July 3, 2017]. Imagine the screaming about an “attack on democracy” coming from the MSM if a President Marine Le Pen were making similar comments.
“It’s important to remember in this context that the U.S. is a free-speech outlier, embracing unfettered discourse in ways most countries — including free ones — consider mistaken and even wrongheaded,” Harvard Law professor Noah Feldman wrote at Bloomberg the day before our Independence Day [For a more regulated Internet, thank Canada].
Feldman exults that the European crackdown on free speech may pressure companies to accept “Canadian or German guidelines,” including in America, because “Internet regulation has to be universal to work.”
“In this scenario, Canada really would rule the Internet, or at least the platforms we use to access it,” Feldman gloats. “Would that really be such a bad outcome?”
If you are Feldman and eagerly want to annihilate Western Culture and replace Europeans with Muslims — no, it’s not.
But if you are actually part of this civilization and have a stake in its continued existence, then yes, the eradication of free speech would be a “bad outcome.”
Many Americans, especially Establishment conservatives, seem clueless about how dire the situation really is. The increasingly insufferable Mitt Romney tweeted on July 4 that he was:
Celebrating independent speech, worship, and association; independence from autocracy; these defining rights and more won at great cost.
— Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) July 4, 2017
Romney’s “autocracy” word choice is presumably a dig at Trump: that is always what the MSM accuses him of, and Romney is incapable of thinking outside the frame that Leftist journalists set for him [Mitt Romney, “Conscious” Cuckservative, by Gregory Hood, Radix, June 27, 2016].
But really, Romney’s tweet reveals something more insidious. Outside the U.S., “independent speech” has already been abolished throughout much of the Western world by government fiat. Inside our own country, it is being effectively dismantled by ethnic lobbies and corporate collaborators. “Freedom of association” disappeared long ago in the Home of the Brave. And even “freedom of worship” is under attack, as your church, business or job can be destroyed instantly by a judge if you are targeted by a Leftist activist. [Here It Is: Complete Catalogue of ‘Same-Sex Marriage’ Violations of Faith, WND, September 1, 2016] (If you’re Christian, that is — strangely enough, Muslims are never targeted by these professional agitators).
So what is this “democracy and liberty” that supposedly defines the West? Western governments are replacing their own populations, destroying the prosperous nation-states bequeathed to us by our ancestors, and then criminalizing any dissent by whites against this state-sponsored genocide. To call this “freedom” is beyond obscene. It’s one of the most successful, if subtle, tyrannies in history, on the brink of extinguishing an entire civilization.
Indeed, when it comes to the issues that really matter, like immigration and national independence, it may be that Russia is more free than Western Europe.
There is no “free world.” And if it is the job of the U.S. to fight against “autocracy,” the city we need to be attacking isn’t Moscow, but Berlin.
