All they have to do now is claim that their opponent was “spreading malinformation” and arrest them, and viola- no more opposition candidate to contend with

Reminds me of a great film called “The Lives of Others”. It’s a German film about the Stasi. Check it out some day.

One of my all-time favorite movies.

Those dirty bastards I wasn’t around. I will not and have not tolerated poor treatment of anyone Americans or Canadians coming in. I didn’t waste 10 years and go over for 3 tours so I could watch people be harassed at a border for no other reason than because they think they’re untouchable and have prejudices against things and people. I’ve also seen some non Albertans in Alberta harassing a couple from GA once. I was grabbing my morning coffee at a McDees and had the pleasure of witnessing this. Those non Albertans won’t be back, at least not in that city. Sometimes max aggression is needed. It’s a main route to Alaska and I’ve only run into a few retarded Obama/Biden supporters. Most I run into are real Americans. The border is a joke though and most of us are tired of their idiotic shenanigans that they seem to get a free pass for.

I’m telling you. So many people think Russia and its leader Putin are bad yet the way it looks to me Russia is becoming more of a democracy and the West a dictatorship. Those who do, open your eyes please.

“UK Police arrest British journalist for posting ‘malinformation’ about Ukraine”

What, exactly, does the West even stand for when they go around arresting their own people because they post information which makes their leaders look bad? And is it REALLY worth World War 3 to defend these leaders?

85 years later it looks like the Nazis may triumph over the UK after all.

Some years ago my husband drove up to Canada to deliver a trailer full of rifles to a police department. After doing mountains of paperwork to do this he gets to the border and they just waved him through. With a trailer full of firearms.

And you got hassled? Makes no sense at all.

Years ago,when Germany was still divided,I visited Berlin. I made a trip to the Brandenburg Gate because it so iconic. While there an Army jeep pulled up and two British soldiers got out (we were in the "British Sector" of Berlin).

One of them walked toward the Wall and the other one joined me on the small observation platform I was on. They both had binoculars and were looking at the guards in the big tower just beyond the Wall. The soldier with me then started waving at the guys in the East German tower (it was only about 50 yards away). As he was waving he said to me "they hate it when we do this".I asked him "do they ever wave back?" and he said "are you kidding?"

I'll never forget it.

Perhaps I should have made it clear that I’m a very devious looking fella! :-)

I should have made it clear that they weren't nasty,aggressive or abusive. But they *were* firm and made it clear that they were in charge. The way I was treated was a lot like how Colonel Russell Williams was treated while being questioned. He was treated respectfully but it was,at the same time,made clear to him that he wasn't the guy in charge.

I've been treated far worse by US Customs at airports...and land borders...than I've ever been treated by Canadian Immigration/Customs.

However,I was once treated horribly by South African Immigration/Customs years ago (during apartheid).

You think it isn’t coming here? Or it isn’t already here?

It’s only a matter of time…

Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Just FYI: did you know that Simon Weisenthal...the famous Nazi hunter...is on record as saying that in his opinion the Stasi was worse than the Gestapo? You've gotta be pretty damn nasty to be worse than the Gestapo.

And in Switzerland they just convicted a journalist to 60 days in jail for calling another journalist a “fat lesbian”!

When I referred to “When I referred to “Fifty-four Forty or Fight” in another thread, I was only joking. For real.

Williams was a nutcase of the highest order, and not a smart one.

How someone like that made it that far....actually never mind. We are talking about the Canadian air force lol. Nowadays, even the once fabled world famous infantry is a bloody joke.

Update...

The UK’s Controversial Online Safety Act Is Now Law The UK government says its Online Safety Act will protect people, particularly children, on the internet. Critics say it’s ineffective against dangerous misinformation and may be a threat to privacy.

The EU's Digital Services Act is discussed, too.
