“too much freedom of speech” is a declaration of war AFAIC

[Olog-hai]

The message was clear. The new world order would be based on European, not American, values. To rally the faithful to the cause, the organizers called upon two of the patron saints of the global elite: Bill and Hillary Clinton. President Clinton was even given an award as “leader of the century.”

The Clintons were clearly in their element. Speaker after speaker denounced Trump and the rise of what they called “autocrats” and “oligarchs.” The irony was crushing. The European Union is based on the oligarchy of a ruling elite. The World Forum even took time to celebrate billionaires from Bill Gates to George Soros for funding “open societies” and greater transnational powers.

The discussions focused on blunting the rise of far-right parties and stemming the flow of “disinformation” that fosters such dissent. …

So-called “European values” are, according to the EU founding documents, cast in light of “respect for the principles of the Charter of the United Nations”, which was, by the hand of Alger Hiss, based on the 1936 USSR constitution.

[Olog-hai]

That’s correct.

I don’t know how many fans of the Marshall Plan there are on here, but it gave too much power to the founders of the EU; one founder in particular.

If this happens here, THEN we have the right to revolution.

Just reading their crazy ideas for censorship makes me furious.

Bunch of scumbag would be dictators.

Germany’s turned back into the Third Reich.

I remember just after the Brexit vote, some high level, un-elected EU bureaucrat stated: “I cannot believe they (the British) let them vote.”

[Olog-hai]

Bad idea to empower them further, yes?

[MtnClimber]

The shaming should be relentless. The Doxxing should ramp up if the “elites” don’t get a clue.

[Olog-hai]

Oh, of course. Probably said the same about the Irish with respect to the Treaties of Nice and Lisbon too.

With respect to the UK, it used to be that the government there rammed EU “values” down the people’s throats—until the so-called “Brexit” vote that is, which unlike in Ireland the UK populace was not required to re-vote on until they voted the way the EUSSR wanted them to.

'President Clinton was even given an award as “leader of the century.”'

That says it all.

"this week’s meeting of the World Forum in Berlin"

What could be a more appropriate venue?

"The shaming should be relentless. The Doxxing should ramp up if the “elites” don’t get a clue."

Must be those elites in favor of controlling free speech, were the same ones who enjoyed living under Russian control, behind a wall dividing Berlin for 28 years.

[Olog-hai]

Nope. It wasn’t those kind of people who created the EUSSR in the first place; it was all “Western” Europeans.

[Highest Authority]

Hitler’s Fourth Reich rises!

[Olog-hai]

Think they’re ready for their own “defense”, which they’ve been aching to do for decades?

[Olog-hai]

Why do such forums even exist?

[mass55th]

"Nope. It wasn’t those kind of people who created the EUSSR in the first place; it was all “Western” Europeans."

I never said they created East Berlin or East Germany. I said they must have enjoyed living in a restrictive environment, and want it to come back.
