JD Vance was right. So right.

Back in February, the Vice President travelled to Munich, Germany, with a message for Europe’s entire political elite. It was a message they didn’t want to hear, but the VP was determined to deliver it anyway. 

“The threat I worry most about vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia,” Vance told a stunned, deathly silent auditorium.

“It’s not China. It’s not any external actor. What I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values.”

This was actually a polite way of telling Europe’s elite they are traitors to their nations and people; that they are destroying what it is their sacred duty to protect.

The message was received.

By now, it surprises absolutely no one to learn that the European Union Globalists and her powerful Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen are guilty of weaponizing the continent’s powers against their political enemies and the patriotic forces that oppose their suicidal policies.

After years of heavy criticism and scrutiny, the EU Commission has officially admitted a huge scandal: Brussels paid millions to environmental associations – but not only, mind you, for the nonsense ‘climate work’. What the EU was actually financing were targeted campaigns against political opponents and dissenting voices.

Austrian News Site Exxpress reported (translated from the German):

“The suspicion has been around for years, but now it is official: The EU Commission under Ursula von der Leyen has supported environmental organizations with taxpayers’ money – not only for climate and environmental protection, but also for political smear campaigns. The aim of the funded NGOs was to specifically attack critics of Brussels’ climate policy.

"That means no new fact checks and no fact checkers."

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced Friday that its fact-checking program in the United States would be “officially over” on Monday, when it will roll out the community notes feature across all platforms.

The news comes after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in January that the company would end fact-checking and move to restore free speech on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Starting Monday, fact-checkers will no longer be able to rate new content, and old fact-checks placed on content will no longer appear.

Instead of fact-checks, Meta will adopt an X-style community notes system where users can add context to posts, which are then rated by other users. Anyone will be able to sign up to be a contributor to community notes if they are over 18 and have had a verified account for over six months.

Today, America First Legal (AFL) released explosive new documents obtained through ongoing litigation against the U.S. Department of State’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), exposing a vast, government-backed censorship operation to silence Americans under the guise of “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation.” The documents reveal a disturbing alliance between the GEC, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the British Foreign, Commonwealth, Development Office (FCDO), and media censorship organizations, all working in lock-step to manipulate public discourse, control media narratives, and suppress free speech.

The GEC, which was forced to shut down in December 2024, was designed to “combat foreign disinformation abroad.” However, through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, AFL uncovered that the GEC engaged in state-sponsored propaganda, repeatedly using willing participants from private media organizations. Further, AFL’s lawsuit against the GEC revealed that USAID had created an internal “Disinformation Primer” that explicitly praised private sector censorship strategies and recommended further censorship tactics.

Americans are disturbed by Germany’s anti-free speech law against online “hate speech” where citizens are raided by police officers before the break of day, as highlighted in Sunday’s edition of 60 Minutes.

The United Nations (UN) appears to be firmly embracing its novel role as one of “disinformation warriors” through what can be described as a series of “nesting dolls” of censorship and surveillance-enabling treaties, resolutions, frameworks, and initiatives.

The world organization, once focused on peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts, is now using its Department of Global Communications as a bullhorn to promote these new priorities.

The head of the department and UN Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming is particularly active, if repetitive in her efforts. During a gathering in Mexico earlier in the week, Fleming once again delivered some doomsday-style remarks about the threat of “misinformation and AI.”

At the same time, she promoted controversial UN instruments like the Pact for the Future, its annex, the Global Digital Compact, and Global Principles for Information Integrity. A wide range of contentious policies are contained in these: digital ID, censorship aimed at “hate speech and misinformation,” enabling surveillance – while the latter also recommends algorithmic censorship and demonetization.

The UK’s Online Safety Act forces small sites like Microcosm to shut down
citing disproportionate liability and risk under the new law.

The UK’s sweeping online censorship law – the Online Safety Act – that will be enforced from March of next year is already claiming its first victims.

The new legislative landscape in the country is now not providing any kind of safety for hundreds of small websites, including non-profit forums, that will have to shut down, unable to comply with the act – specifically, faced with what reports refer to as “disproportionate personal liability.”

The fines go up to the equivalent of USD 25 million, while the law also introduces new criminal offenses.

Earlier in the week, the act’s enforcer, Ofcom, published dozens of measures that online services are supposed to implement by March 16, including naming a person responsible – and accountable – for making sure a site or platform complies.

The law is presented as a new way to efficiently tackle illegal content, and in particular, provide new ways to ensure the safety of children online, including by age verification (“age checking”).

A Stanford 'misinformation specialist' who founded the university's Social Media Lab has been accused in a court filing of fabricating sources in an affidavit supporting new legislation in Minnesota which bans so-called 'election misinformation.'

For a $600 an hour expert witness fee, Stanford professor Jeff Hancock, whose biography claims he's "well-known for his research on how people use deception with technology," apparently used deception with technology by citing numerous academic works that do not appear to exist, the Minnesota Reformer reports.

At the behest of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Hancock recently submitted an affidavit supporting new legislation that bans the use of so-called “deep fake” technology to influence an election. The law is being challenged in federal court by a conservative YouTuber and Republican state Rep. Mary Franson of Alexandria for violating First Amendment free speech protections.

Hancock’s expert declaration in support of the deep fake law cites numerous academic works. But several of those sources do not appear to exist, and the lawyers challenging the law say they appear to have been made up by artificial intelligence software like ChatGPT.

As an example, the declaration cites a study called "The Influence of Deepfake Videos on Political Attitudes and Behavior," which claims it was published in the Journal of Information Technology & Politics in 2023 - however there's no study by that name in said journal, and academic databases have no record of the study existing.

Tommy Robinson (whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) created this documentary “Silenced” about the way a British boy, Bailey Maclaren, was framed as a “racist attacker” for defending himself against a local school bully, Syrian “refugee” Jamal Hijazi, in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

The film was first screened in Florida in May 2023 by O’Keefe Media Group after a judge claimed that Robinson had somehow defamed the bully and ordered Robinson to pay £100,000 plus legal costs.

On July 28, 2024, Robinson defied a gag order banning him from showing the film, screening it to a crowd of 100,000 at Trafalgar Square, London, and was subsequently arrested. Robinson has published the film “Silenced”  on X, where it has been seen by 57 million people at last count.

The real foreign interference in this election is not coming from Russia but rather from Harris campaign officials colluding with political operatives from arguably America’s closest ally, The United Kingdom. And the world’s richest man is right in the bullseye.

As The Gateway Pundit has tirelessly reported, the Harris-Biden regime has been relentlessly trying to put Musk ‘in his place.’ Biden-Harris’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been baselessly investigating Elon Musk’s lawful purchase of X/Twitter in 2022 and is also suing him.

To make matters worse, the SEC announced last month they would sanction Musk after he refused to appear in court for testimony regarding his acquisition of X/Twitter, even though his testimony had already been rescheduled for early October.
