FREE SPEECH BIG CHILL: EU And Tech Giants Team Up To Banish ‘Illegal Hate Speech’ Online

“The internet is a place for free speech, not hate speech,” said Vera Jourova, the EU commissioner responsible for justice, consumers and gender equality.

The European Union reached an agreement Tuesday with some of the world’s biggest social media firms, including Facebook and Twitter, on ways to combat the spread of hate speech online.

EDITOR’S NOTE: While removing speech that directly calls for violence is a good thing, the definition of what ‘hate speech’ is remains a little murky. For example, will it be considered hate speech for the Bible believing Christian to say that homosexuality is wrong and that transgender men should not be in the ladies bathroom? Something tells me this is exactly where we are headed. 

Under the terms of a code of conduct, the firms, which also include YouTube and Microsoft, have committed to “quickly and efficiently” tackle illegal hate speech directed against anyone over issues of race, color, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin. The sites have often been used by terrorist organizations to relay messages and entice hatred against certain individuals or groups.

Among the measures agreed with the EU’s executive arm, the firms have said they will establish internal procedures and staff training to guarantee that a majority of illegal content is assessed and, where necessary, removed within 24 hours. They have also agreed to strengthen their partnerships with civil society organizations who often flag content that promotes incitement to violence and hateful conduct. The European Commission and the firms have also agreed to support civil society organizations to deliver “anti-hate campaigns.”

“The internet is a place for free speech, not hate speech,” said Vera Jourova, the EU commissioner responsible for justice, consumers and gender equality. She added that the code of conduct, which will be regularly reviewed in terms of its scope and its impact, will ensure that public incitement to violence to hatred has “no place online.”

The firms themselves say there’s no conflict between their mission statements to promote the freedom of expression and clamping down on hate speech.

Twitter, which has been at the center of much of the hate speech that’s spread online over the past few years, says it will continue to tackle the issue “head-on” along with partners in industry and civil society.

“We remain committed to letting the Tweets flow,” said Twitter’s European head of public policy Karen White. “However, there is a clear distinction between freedom of expression and conduct that incites violence and hate.”

And Facebook’s head of global policy management Monika Bickert urged the company’s 1.6 billion users to use the site’s in-built reporting tools in the event they find content they consider unacceptable.

“Our teams around the world review these reports around the clock and take swift action,” she said. source

In Amsterdam, Antisemitic Rioters Shout ‘Kanker Joden!’ Targeting The Jews In An Unprecedent Wave Of Nazi-Like Violence And Attacks

‘Kanker Joden!’: Trams set alight, violence erupts in Amsterdam in second wave of antisemitic attacks against Jews in Europe

Europe has been a hotbed of antisemitic violence ever since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel took place, and over the past 72 hours in the European city of Amsterdam, it has been a literal Nazi rally on the streets. Jews are absolutely not safe there, and should leave immediately. Earlier this evening, hundreds of pro-Palestinian citizens protested in the streets shouting ‘Kanker Joden!’, which is to say that the ‘Jews are a cancer’. Adolf Hitler said the same thing back in 1935, what’s old has suddenly become new again.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

Nazism did not die when WWII came to an end in 1945, it just went underground to wait for the right time to reemerge. Events continuing to unfold in Amsterdam shows that is alive and in 2024, and just looking for a leader. It’s a bad time to be a Jew, and according to the prophets, it’s going to get a whole lot worse very soon. Pray for the Jewish people, pray for Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Pro-Palestine protestors had clashed with riot police earlier in the day at Amsterdam’s central Dam Square, leading to over 50 arrests.

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Violence erupted on the streets of Amsterdam on Monday night in the second wave of antisemitic attacks to hit the Dutch capital over the last week, according to local media reports. One of the city’s famous trams was set alight by rioters dressed in black and armed with fireworks, according to De Telegraaf. The rioters threw debris and shouted “Kanker Joden” (cancer Jews), but it is used to mean “f*** the Jews.”

Rioters reportedly burned a tram in the city’s western suburbs and clashed with police earlier in the day. A police spokesman said a tram at the ’40-’45 Square in the west part of Amsterdam had caught fire, likely caused by fireworks thrown at it. The windows of the tram were shattered. No one was injured in the incident, as the tram had been empty, the spokesman said.

Masked men reportedly roamed the streets yelling “Free Palestine.” De Telegraaf reported that journalists witnessed a bystander being ripped from his bike and beaten by the rioters. Geert Wilders, leader of the PVV, responded to the events by saying, “After the Jew-hunt, the Intifada.”

Wilders has been a strong defender of Israel and the Netherlands’s Jewish population while being deeply critical of Dutch immigration and integration policy.

Wilders heads the Dutch Parliament’s largest party, the Party for Freedom (PVV); however, due to being an extremely controversial figure within Dutch politics, he was blocked from becoming Prime Minister or even a minister. Instead, Wilders helped organize the ruling bloc and assisted in steering policies, in effect being the de facto Prime Minister.

Amsterdam was rocked by a pogrom that targeted Jews and Israelis in the city immediately after the soccer match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and the Dutch team Ajax.

Pro-Palestine protestors had clashed with riot police on Monday at Amsterdam’s central Dam Square, leading to over 50 arrests, according to Deutsche Welle. Following the attack, the city announced a three-day ban on all demonstrations to maintain public order. Furthermore, the government had announced it would hold stricter border control until December 9.

Hundreds of people defied the ban, which had been upheld by a local court earlier in the day.  They chanted “Free Palestine” and “Shame on you” and called for an end to the war in Gaza. READ MORE

One unconscious man is kicked in the back. Another pleads for mercy in a narrow alleyway before being punched in the head. And a third Israeli citizen is made to shout “Free Palestine” after jumping into a canal to save himself. Amsterdam is reeling from what has been called a “Jew hunt” and “pogrom” on its streets that has rekindled memories of Europe’s darkest hours. After Maccabi Tel Aviv had played a Europa League match against Ajax on Thursday night, Israeli fans were chased with knives, humiliated and assaulted across the Dutch capital.

Emmanuel Macron Called For A ‘New International Order’ In Paris As Well As A Two State Solution And A Truce in Lebanon At The United Nations This Week

Published

French President Emmanuel Macron called for a ‘new international order’ during his speech at the Sant’Egidio International Meeting for Peace in Paris yesterday and spoke of “rethinking” relations with Russia amidst the war in Ukraine.

It has been a very busy week for French President Emmanuel Macron, first at the Sant’Egidio International Meeting for Peace in Paris on the 22nd, and at the United Nations in New York City on the 25th. At the first meeting, he laid out his vision for a new world order, and at the second, his repeated call for a Two State Solution for the Palestinians. Anyone have Macron on their scorecard for ‘man of sin’? I do.

For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)

Like Hitler before him, Emmanuel Macron is not someone that can accused of having a hidden agenda, the things he wants to bring in are right out in the open for all to see. Hitler wrote ‘Mein Kampf’ to tell the world what his plans were, Emmanuel Macron does the same thing behind a mic at the UN. On top of everything else, he also called for an immediate truce in Lebanon between Hezbollah and Israel.

Emmanuel Macron Calls for New World Order in Paris and a Two State Solution at United Nations

FROM NEWSWEEK: Macron, president of France since 2017, said that he wanted a new order to maintain peace on the continent and around the world.

“We try to walk with this European political community but we will have to think of a new form of organization of Europe and rethink our relationship to Russia,” he said. “In the same way as you said we have to build a new international order, is undoubtedly the greatest challenge of the moment because our order today is incomplete and unjust.”

He added: “We need to think about the world in a new form. It is necessary to take into account the geographical reality of Europe, which is not limited to either the EU or, most definitely, NATO. We need to think about a new form of organization of Europe and rethink relations with Russia in the future, as well as peace on this continent,” according to Oreanda News.

“The international community must evince the political will to ensure a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict” Emmanuel Macron said

The French president noted how the current world order was created after World War II and is “incomplete” because it did not take into account climate change, the technological revolution, or other future world changes.

Macron said that a new model needed to take into account equal representation for all European nations and consider larger peacebuilding tactics. Russia’s Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to Macron’s speech. “Obviously, as the security architecture of Europe is changing by leaps and bounds, it is necessary to build it anew. The whole system of international relations is changing,” he said, according to the Russian news agency Tass. Peskov also reportedly emphasized that the building of the new world order would be of particular interest to the Kremlin as it would ensure Russia’s legitimate security interest.

Macron initially received criticism for his comments on Russia, specifically when he said, “We must not humiliate Russia so that the day when the fighting stops we can build an exit ramp through diplomatic means,” in 2022. READ MORE

Day two of the UN General Assembly was dominated by concerns over the escalating Gaza war and the potential for conflict spreading across the Middle East. French President Emmanuel Macron criticised Israel’s prolonged military campaign in Gaza, warning against expanding operations into Lebanon. He stressed the importance of diplomacy to protect civilians and prevent a regional escalation, also calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sought continued support against Russia’s invasion, but discussions remained largely focused on the growing threat of conflict in the Middle East.

In An Amazing Coincidence, Emmanuel Macron’s Main Rival For Power, Marine Le Pen, Is Now Under Investigation For ‘Illegal Campaign Financing’

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Paris prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday it had launched a preliminary probe into allegations of illegal financing of far right National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen’s campaign for the 2022 presidential race, which she lost to Emmanuel Macron.

Here in America, we have been watching for some time now the lawfare waged against Donald Trump by the Biden administration, and it is a very effective and powerful tool. But lawfare exists in many other nations like, say, France for example. In an amazing display of coincidence and irony, Emmanuel Macron’s main rival, Marine Le Pen, a woman who has vexed him time and again, is now under investigation for ‘illicit campaign financing’. If convicted, she could serve jail time. C’est magnifique, Mr. President Macron, I am sure you had nothing to do with that.

“And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.” Daniel 11:36 (KJB)

As we’ve been telling you, long before these amazing events transpiring before us now, Emmanuel Macron is not going anywhere. He will make whatever deal, with whomever, that he needs to make, and every time you think you’ve cornered him, he only comes out stronger with more power. If this was a roulette table, and Emmanuel Macron was number 13, I would take all my ‘prophecy chips’, put them on him, and let it ride on the supposition that he is the biblical man of sin. Still just our opinion, but man, oh man, he sure seems to be doing it.

Paris prosecutor opens probe into Marine Le Pen’s 2022 campaign financing

FROM REUTERS: The investigation, which was opened on July 2, follows a 2023 report by the National Commission on Campaign Accounts and Political Financing (CNCCFP), which scrutinizes candidates’ election expenses and funding, the prosecutor’s office said.

It will look into allegations of embezzlement, forgery, fraud, and that a candidate on an electoral campaign accepted a loan.

Le Pen and her party have previously denied wrongdoing in connection with campaign financing. The National Rally could not be immediately reached for comment. Separately Le Pen is to stand trial later this year alongside 27 others over alleged misuse of European Union funds, charges that Le Pen’s party has said it contested.

That investigation, opened in 2016, aimed to ascertain whether the then National Front had used money destined for EU parliamentary assistants to pay staff who were working for the party.
At the head of RN until 2021, Marine Le Pen ran against Emmanuel Macron in the 2017 and 2022 presidential elections, and could again run in 2027. READ MORE
