The West has abandoned free speech. Now it's billionaire speech, all day, all the time.

Nick Douglas's avatar

Western fascist shitholes were always like this. People didn't see it because of curtains, walls, propaganda, and lies. Frank Zappa, Malcom X anx few others saw it 50+ years ago.

fuck them. If the UK wants to torch itself for a foreign power, I say, let them. A fitting end for a country that's been setting the world on fire for the past 500+ years to enrich a bunch of parasitic royalty. Doing this is how these nations will end.

Notice how the empire started clamping down on "free" speech around the same time the Epstein thing went public?

This is what the British and US Israeli bought leadership don't want you to hear about:

May 31, 2026: “I Was Raped By Israeli Soldiers” - Flotilla Activist

In its specific detail, it's a clarifying clip, Jamenta. The 'most moral army in the world' doing its thing, yet again. And in the list of bought governments, Australia must be included. Our gutless mob is bad as any in its fawning obedience to the genocidists sheltering under the umbrella of the predictable 'antisemitism' accusation. We blithely turn a blind eye and a deaf eye to the clear evidence of war crimes/civil crimes, and I'm getting more than slightly pissed off.

Yeah, you're not the only one David. Was watching Status Coup's coverage today of the peaceful protest outside of Delaney Hall in New Jersey, against the ICE concentration camp of human beings detained without due process (could be any of us). And there was literally a 3-1 ratio of riot police fully geared, with horses, and shields against mostly a docile peaceful group of Americans and a number of Independent press.

They literally kettled and surrounded BOTH the peaceful protestors and Press. They gave the Press one chance to get out or be arrested (Unconstitutional) - then proceeded to throw each of the protestors to the ground and zip tie them like they were cattle. They continued to threaten/terrorize the Press that they were also going to be arrested.

I found myself in a rage - i.e. more than slightly pissed off. And get this, the governor of New Jersey right now is a Democrat: Mikie Sherrill. So, people who still believe the Dems are going to be any better, think again.

First they came the Communists, and I did not speak out... Then they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out ... (You know the rest)

David Baird's avatar

Yeah, I saw that clip. And Avi's retreat in the face of literally dozens of cops was simply another piece of fascistic intent. We see that same intent here, increasingly.

It’s probably anti semetic to be against rape if a Zionist does it now.

After all we know the truth is anti semetic right.

Quote: “I saw Arabs being thrown out of their houses in Jerusalem. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here.”

Calling Helen Mirren a bitch is an insult to both female dogs and hookers.

My biggest fear is that the motivation for the wide support of Zionism is far more evil than we realize. I don’t think it’s ‘guilt’ over the Holocaust, or misguided efforts to combat antisemitism. I think it’s an audition for the fascism being organized all over the West. The motivation for that remains unknowable.

Patrick Powers's avatar

I'd say it's for control of the Middle East fossil fuels. They openly say the goal is expansion of Israel. Expand it enough and they have control of the Middle East fossil fuels.

Under fascism the people have little say in policy. Big Money wants it that way.

Nick Douglas's avatar

I am convinced it is ideological more than materialistic. Western judeo-nazi supremacist cult.

AnF's avatar

It's also why they're all-in on the climate crisis and actively accelerating it.

They want to obliterate and prevent any form of civilization outside of their tightly controlled surveillance hellscapes.

CK's avatar

Every war in the Middle East and North Africa, for the past 115 years, has been about control of access to the fossil fuels.

Also about those that step out from the fiat currency financial system, like Gaddafi.

Corporate America still hasn’t returned the gold to Libya and they left a trail of misery and destruction. Just like Iraq it’s the same story with Ukraine.

All these nations didn’t want or need the fraudulent banks of the west.

I'm amazed that "Bernie Sanders progressives" (or "Dem Lite") are now considered "dangerous antisemites" in the UK. I'm not a fan of either of the two pundits mentioned, but what the hell? They probably only in the past year or so have spoken out against the genocidal apartheid ethnostate in any manner. What will the UK government do to those of us who have been outspokenly pro-Palestine since Day 1? I shudder to think. I just wonder: Will I be allowed again in the UK to visit with my daughter and son-in-law who live there?

David Baird's avatar

Your question, Rev, will more than likely be a negative. Down here in 'Straya, we're 'in ongoing talks' with the US about providing biometric info, emails, browsing history and other personal e-data, (as collected by Palantir), to Uncle Sam, with love from the Oz government. I don't doubt the same will apply in the UK. Shit, WE may become the 51st state, the way things are going. Angst-, and anger-inducing stuff.

Spunty's avatar

Aren't we already the 51st state?

David Baird's avatar

Pretty much, Spunty.

Oy vay! Helen Mirren! I thought she was smart. I myself consider myself lucky that I do not know of a single Jewish-American relative who is OK with what Israel is committing with US support in the Middle East. Hey, Helen Mirren, it's genocide and ecocide! And if anyone wants to call me antisemitic because I think Palestine has a right to exist, then I am proud to be called "antisemitic" or a "self-hating Jew". Thanks for bravely fighting against the gaslighting Caitlin! It's good therapy to read you. It's sanity.

Paul Craig Roberts clarifies: Has President Trump Committed High Treason?

The principle right is free speech. It is the First Amendment, because without free speech it is impossible for citizens to hold government accountable for violation of the other protections from, and limits on, government power.

​ Trump’s affinity for Zionist Israel has led him into an act that violates his oath of office and possibly caused him to commit high treason against the United States.

​ Trump has created by executive order what in effect is a Sedition Act for Israel that prohibits United States citizens from using their First Amendment right to criticize Israel for the genocide of Palestine, the rape and torture of Palestinian prisoners, the destruction of Palestinian homes, villages, and olive groves by Israeli settlers who blatantly steal Palestinian land, assassinations of foreign leaders, undue influence over the U.S. legislative and executive branches, state governments, media, finance, and education, and wars of aggression against Middle Eastern countries.

​ U.S. critics of Israel are not even permitted to complain about the Jewish Anti-defamation League’s slander, libel and defamation of them. For an American to complain of being defamed by Zionists is to risk punishment for anti-semitism.

​ To state it plainly, Trump and his acting attorney general have given priority to protecting Israel, a foreign government, over the First Amendment rights of U.S. citizens. Clearly, this means that Trump and his accommodating acting attorney general are serving a foreign interest by suspending without any right or authority to do so, the First Amendment rights guaranteed to U.S. citizens by the U.S. Constitution.​ https://paulcraigroberts.org/has-president-trump-committed-high-treason/

Has Trump, the guy who openly committed felonies across the board, raped children, and engaged in insider trading and political bribary, and collusion with foreign powers for his own personal benefit using State and Federal resources, and advocated for the kidnapping and killing of public officials on several instances including Jan 6, and has blatantly allowed the mass sabotage of federal institutions and theft of private citizen data from said federal institutions into private international corporations, possibly maybe committing high treason.

The world may never know. /s

The Helen Mirren example is where this starts getting genuinely strange.

Helen Mirren isn't Jewish.

She was allegedly criticized because of her support for Israel.

So if criticizing a non-Jewish person for supporting Israel can be investigated as antisemitism, then what exactly are the limiting principles?

At that point the category appears to be expanding beyond protecting Jews from discrimination and into protecting political support for a state from criticism.

That's a much bigger civil-liberties question than one actress or one incident.

The most anti-Semitic country is Israel. They kill Semitic people every day, in Gaza, in Lebanon, the West Bank; and they throw in as many Persians as they can as well. Nobody kills Semites like the IDF and Israel.

John Cosmo's avatar

Zionism is anti-Semitic.

There seems to be almost a mantra of always clarifying "we are criticizing Zionism only, not Judaism".

But after learning of account after account of brutal child rape that is being practiced in religious Jewish communities both in Israel and outside of it, with rabbis and prominent members of those communities participating in it, I wonder why Judaism doesn't come under more rigorous public scrutiny?

The latest KAN11 investigation into child rape in Jewish communities is a shocking one, and is only one in a myriad of other stories about abuse in religious Jewish communities.

Tightknit religious communities often seem to have some brutal behaviours no matter what religion. Zionism is not a religion and it is Zionism that is creating a nation of people almost entirely lacking in empathy for some groups of people. Some of those people are Christian, but still Zionists.

Can the US and UK afford this jingoism on behalf of Israel? Israel is not exactly popular at this time, and for very good reasons.

Total!

The Crown and its government are a complete corporate entity, those they employ… Jump on command, the so-called members of parliament.

There is no democracy but there persist a powerful belief of democracy.

When regular folks register to vote that is a contract with the Crown (a legal entity) to form ( their government) !

There is no law only contract forged via deception of the Crown.

LOL. And the funny thing is, Hasan Piker is just another shitlib who plans to sheepdog people back into the Democratic party that is the party of genocide, endless war, wall street and fascism but with politer undertones. If they played their cards right, he is a really good useful idiot for the establishment who could help them siphon all that revolutionary energy back into the duopoly and establishment politics which would benefit the UK!! But they are so compromised and their heads up so far their asses, they are squandering that chance shooting themselves in the foot in the process.

I have to say, watching these self righteous, phony, piss pot western democracies set a torch to their self righteous, arrogant asses like that by dismantling the very values they have been rubbing in peoples' faces for so long, and not even realizing it, is glorious to watch. It is like we are in the part in the sci fi movie where they go back in time and witness bad things happen but they cant intervene because they know that those bad things need to happen for the good to outcome down the road. And so here we are...
