World Economic Forum: Australia’s eSafety Commissioner Calls for ‘Recalibration’ of Human Rights, Free Speech
Breitbart ^ | 5/24/22

Posted on 05/24/2022 10:50:00 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

The Australian government’s eSafety Commissioner called for a “recalibration” of the right to freedom of speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) during its annual meeting which sees global elites from enterprise and government descend on the ski resort town of Davos, Switzerland.

Speaking to the WEF panel on Monday, commissioner Julie Inman Grant spoke of the need to rethink various rights, including the right to free speech.

“We are finding ourselves in a place where we have increasing polarization everywhere, and everything feels binary when it doesn’t need to be,” Inman Grant said.

“So I think we’re going to have to think about a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online, from the freedom of speech to be[ing] free from online violence,” she added.

Hanging is simply too good for some people.

That’s why I leave them to the Lord, either His unmerited Grace of His unyielding, never ending and unendurable wrath.

“Recalibration”, with the elites operating the controls.

I don’t think its far fetched to think that we could very well see a Ceasescu moment in a country considered a “Western democracy” if those speaking at the WEF are left to press forward with their agenda. Question is, which one?

Would it be bad to dream of something very bad happening to the people in Davos? Could solve lots of the world’s problems with one earth shattering kaboom.

Sure sounds like a Declaration of WAR against the Unit6ed States, shouldn’t a President upon hearing this Open Declaration of WAR against the American People, turn Davos and all the conspirators there, into a pile of glowing sand??

Breitbart, unlike Gateway Pundit, actually included the exact quote, which is always nice:

“We are finding ourselves in a place where we have increasing polarization everywhere, and everything feels binary when it doesn’t need to be,” Inman Grant said. “So I think we’re going to have to think about a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online, from the freedom of speech to be[ing] free from online violence,” she added.

Something like I’ve occasionally said in reference to Congress could work: we should send them all a 5# bag of Sugar Free Haribo Bears to properly thank them for all that they do.

Look up the Amazon customer reviews if you’ve never heard about them.

to be[ing] free from online violence,


Online violence? I realize that the definition of a word like ‘violence’ is currently in flux (not unlike the word ‘woman’) but what is online violence?

Rights don’t originate from governments. She obviously thinks they do and wants to redefine. Her ilk are in for a rude awakening.

“We are finding ourselves in a place where we have increasing polarization everywhere, and everything feels binary when it doesn’t need to be."

No doubt, his solution to eliminating "binary" thinking is to suppress or even outlaw any views which digress from his own. We are already hearing people say that Tucker Carlson, for example, should be "arrested" because he opposes escalating the war in Ukraine and (truthfully) says that Democrats want to increase immigration because they think the demographics will help them become a permanent majority.

You would do much “ntestinal violence” upon them?

You might be booted from the internet!

Oh, yeah!

I’ve also occasionally posted this curse in reference to these global elites: may they have nothing to eat but ghost pepper flavored Haribo sugar free bears and nothing to drink but tepid prune juice.
