The countries in the EU are currently run by politicans that the voters are rejecting, but unable to get out of office. The politicans are become iron fisted facists as they outlaw any dissent.

[The New World Order has spoken.]

That's why I keep trying to get the Gospel and Scripture out to the world NOW - because the days are coming when we'll hardly be able to do these things online - it will be up to home churches and word of mouth by close contact and not within listening distance of one's refrigerator or Alexa

The Godless Globalists WILL get Satan's Antichrist, who "confirms" 7 years of 'Peace and Security'. You can count on it. It has been foretold long, long ago. It is on the horizon.

I’m not sure how people in the Russian government actually care what happens to this guy, he was basically run out of Russia over their dislike of his free speech ideas and how he treated data privacy

This guy doesn’t live in Russia because of his disagreements with the Russian government, he lives in the Middle East I think either the UAE or Qatar

“Russia’s embassy in France is taking “immediate steps” to clarify the situation, according to Russia’s TASS state news agency.”

Here’s supposedly the reason he left Russia.

Born and brought up in Russia, Pavel Durov left his native country in 2014 after refusing government demands to shut down opposition groups on VKontakte, a social media platform he previously founded and subsequently sold. Telegram faced a block in Russia in 2018 over its refusal to grant state security services access to encrypted messages, which led to protests and criticism.

I hope I’m wrong but I think Russia is interested in him, the same way the USA wanted Julian Assange in the USA.

Those days are already here. They are going after folks now.

Why do I suspect his real “offense” is running a communications network that the Yurps can’t control and which allows the lowly peasants to actually communicate?

And just like that, Durov will be sent to Russia where he will spend the rest of his short life in some Russian prison.

This is a warning to everyone, it doesn’t matter if you are a billionaire, the deep state will get you for non-compliance.

You have to believe Elon Musk is on the list of people the Western Establishment wants to eliminate and if he’s next on the list of people who get charged with some made up crime.

“More evidence that France is a tyrannical hellhole trying to suppress freedom of information.”

>>>>>>>>>>

Your sense of humor is excellent.
You do know that Putin has banned all Russian press which isn’t pro-Kremlin, right?

You do know that if a Russian citizen utters the fact that Russia is at war with Ukraine, that will get him 15 years of prison. He might survive if he is lucky.
So THAT is the great freedom of expression in Russia...

In other words... Russia has become a hardcore and absolute kingdom of censorship and big-government totalitarian state. You should read the book “1984” by Orwell... The Kremlin made that book become reality.

You realize Ukraine has done everything you accuse Russia of and worse -- imprisoning opposition leaders, banning opposition parties, canceling elections, banning opposition media outlets and shutting down churches.

Now, we have you sick government trying to undermine the free flow of information on Telgram.

Macron lost a reelection bid yet still, somehow, is in office.

You're every bit as big a hypocrite as any leftist or US Democrat.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ukraine has indeed imprisoned people who worked directly for a foreign entity called Russia. The Russian church in Ukraine has acted like a spy-cell for the Kremlin.
As in any country at war, if you have people in your own county working for your enemies behalf... it’s called treason. Treason is the worst of all evil deeds. Ukraine giving only prison time for traitors - during times of war - is pretty lenient actually.
