EU Demands Access to X’s Internal Algorithms

According to the German press, the EU is demanding what the reports phrase as “authority access” to X’s internal documents regarding the platform’s changes to its recommendations algorithms, and programming interfaces.

The bloc is doing that as it investigates possible “hate speech” and “disinformation” violations relevant to the censorship law, the Digital Services Act (DSA). The probe is supposed to determine whether X should be treated as “a risk.”

X has been given four weeks to comply with the provisions of the law, long-criticized by free speech advocates but pushed by the EU as a means to “create a fair, safe and democratic online environment” for citizens, as European Commission Vice-President for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy Henna Virkkunen put it.

And what that democracy looks like becomes clearer when the real reason behind the latest case of pressure on X is revealed: Germany’s (still) ruling politicians, Chancellor Olaf Scholz included, suspect that Elon Musk’s support for the opposition AfD might translate to X boosting the party’s content.

Germany will elect a new parliament in just over a month and the chaotic campaign there has produced a number of controversial and repressive moves, especially against the AfD and its supporters, often branded as “extreme right-wingers” with some of the party’s branches declared to be “extremist” by Germany’s domestic spy agency.

And yet, the party leads Scholz’s Social Democrats in the polls, and is second only to the Christian Democratic Union, which is also currently in opposition, making it highly likely that the complaints against X’s alleged preferential treatment of AfD have more to do with pure politics and less with “hate speech” and “disinformation.”

Brussels Ramps up Investigation Into Elon Musk in First Salvo of Upcoming Transatlantic War Between the US and EU Over Free Speech and Online Censorship

The historic inauguration of Donald J. Trump as 47th US President will usher in a new Golden Age in America in many aspects, including free-speech.

But across the pond, a generation of failed Globalist ‘leaders’ is scrambling to counteract that, and keep things as they are in terms of online censorship to carry their political narratives alive.

So, yesterday (17) Brussels showed their intent to fully unleash its infamous Digital Services Act (DSA) against tech billionaire-turned-Trump trusted advisor Elon Musk.

The DSA has been demonstrated to be a new form of censorship in Europe, incompatible with real European values or the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Furthermore, CIA-linked Newsguard is mentioned to have being heavily involved in the implementation of the nefarious act.

Now, with Musk flexing his geopolitical muscles, ‘regulators’ in thew EU refused to scale down an investigation of social media network X.

Former EU Official Admits That The EU Canceled The Romanian Election

While accusing Elon Musk of interfering in the upcoming German election, Former European Commissioner Thierry Breton said if the AfD (Alternative for Germany) were to win the election, the European Union could cancel the result just as they did in Romania.

Breton declared in Orwellian fashion that “Freedom of expression is a fundamental element in Europe,” and then he went on to give the example of Romania, where the elections on December 8 were annulled, suggesting that the same thing could happen in Germany. This is the first admission by a European leader that the election in Romania was cancelled at the behest of the European Union.

His admission contradicts the official narrative that the presidential election was stopped by the Romanian judiciary. “Let’s apply our laws in Europe when they risk being circumvented and when they can, if not applied, lead to interference. We did it in Romania and, obviously, we will have to do it, if necessary, in Germany,” Breton said.

VACCINE PASSPORT STING OPERATION: More than 2,200 celebrities, officials and European elite caught with FAKE vaccination passports

Vaccination records in Europe have been falsified by thousands of celebrities, officials, and elitists who gave themselves saline injections instead of the deadly Covid mRNA jabs, then paid big bucks to have fake passports made and recorded in the records system there called the National Immunizations Registry. The elitists got busted in a sting operation the National Police ran called Operation Jenner.

Now some of these elitists, including Big Pharma CEOs and presidents, are facing criminal charges for it. The fee to falsify the passport and the records was higher depending on social status, so famous folks and Big Pharma gurus had to pay more money to avoid getting the deadliest “vaccine” ever created on planet earth. They obviously knew the hazards and wanted to avoid them at all costs.

Police have charged Jose Sousa-Faro, President of Pharma-Mar, a European pharma behemoth, for being falsely vaccinated against Covid-19. The National Police there have compiled a list of these offenders a mile long.

Anyone who doubts this is exactly what’s going on in the United States needs their head examined. Politicians, celebrities, and Pharma gurus who got “vaccinated” live on television, who didn’t pass out or die on the spot, most likely got a saline injection, just like all these elitists in Europe. It’s a scam because they KNOW how deadly those clot shot, gene therapy, nano-technology injections really are.

Former European Commissioner and Wannabe Tyrant Thierry Breton Says EU May Cancel German Elections if Right-Wing AfD Wins

If you were scandalized by the European powers sweeping in to force Romania to cancel its Presidential Elections out of fear of right-winger Calin Georgescu, you better buckle up, according to former European Commissioner—and wannabe tyrant—Thierry Breton.

A Eurofanatic and enthusiast for censorship online, Breton had to resign from the EU after unsuccessfully trying to keep the Elon Musk/Donald Trump podcast from being broadcast.

In an interview on Thursday, Breton said that Elon Musk’s ‘interference’ in the upcoming elections in Germany ‘could lead to a cancellation of the election results.’

CNews reported (translated from the French):

“This interference is also worrying European leaders. While the results of the first round of the Romanian presidential election have been annulled against a backdrop of Russian interference, the threat of Elon Musk intervening in favor of the AfD in Germany raises fears of the worst.”

Breton said that freedom of speech is a ‘fundamental element’ in Europe, commenting on Musk podcast with Alice Weidel on X – but…

“Thierry Breton nevertheless called for keeping calm in the face of this situation that is developing in Germany, mentioning the example of Romania. ‘Let’s enforce our laws in Europe when they are likely to be circumvented and if they are not enforced can lead to interference. We did it in Romania and it will obviously have to be done, if necessary, in Germany’, he concluded.”

There we have it – he ‘calmly’ suggests overriding the popular vote in Germany if it does not fit his Globalist point of view.

“’From the moment it is broadcast in Europe with a regulated platform, Elon Musk has to follow European rules. With the AfD, we have to follow them. It is obvious that we will take all measures to ensure that he respects the law. If he does not respect it, there are fines and the possibility of ban’, he continued, recalling that Elon Musk must comply with European rules.”

EU Officials Pressure Meta and X to Enforce Censorship: Threats Linked to “Fact-Checkers” and Disinformation Investigations

This week’s statement by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and the realization that Meta’s policy shift regarding free speech on the giant’s social platforms doesn’t necessarily end with the US – is clearly sending shivers down the spine of a particular political class in Europe.

The one that, at least currently, gets to do all the talking – and gets that talking reported as gospel by legacy media.

And so, officials in a number of EU countries as well as some members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are scrambling to respond to Meta’s announcement – in a way, it seems, simply as an emergency measure to protect their narrow political, rather than what may be their nations’ long term, greater interest.

The people’s interest, meanwhile, is always the same: being able to speak freely as the very first point of assurance, that we do indeed, live in a democratic way.

But – the bureaucracy obviously has a different agenda.

Meta, as the first of the true tech giants to “turn the free speech ship around” does appear to be following in the footsteps of what Twitter/X has already been doing for several years.

And Meta’s change in policy is, in the grand scheme of things, still minor – Meta is simply now dropping the notorious third-party “fact-checkers.”

But, a number of EU officials and representatives of various agencies are wasting no time making themselves and their priorities known. And free speech, by way of welcoming less online censorship, does not come across as any priority.

Instead, they are warning Meta against abandoning the services of the “Censorship Central” – aka, “fact-checkers” – while at the same time looking to “energetically” pursue the existing investigation against X.

German Federal Network Agency head Klaus Muller is one of those appearing to be trying to stem the free speech tide, all the way to threatening to impose “sanctions” against Meta – should the company decide to extend its new, freedom-respecting policies to Europeans, after Americans start enjoying this privilege first.

The EU’s Need For Cheap Ukrainian Labor Imperils Ukraine’s Post-War Reconstruction

Forthcoming developments might lead to Germany and/or Poland, where over two million of them collectively reside, either encouraging their return or incentivizing them to stay.

Zelensky has finally begun to think about his country’s post-war reconstruction plans as suggested by what he said late last week with regard to the need for Ukrainian refugees to return once the conflict ends. The challenge though is that he also accused unnamed EU countries of exploiting his citizens as cheap labor, and if they allow them to remain there, then Ukraine will struggle to rebuild. Here are his exact words, which will then be analyzed in the larger context of this conflict’s rapidly evolving dynamics:

“Let’s be honest: There are many Ukrainians abroad. In some countries, they have been seen as a cheap labor force. And now, they realize Ukrainians are often more skilled than their own citizens. I say: ‘Look, give me a bit more air defense, and I’ll tell everyone to come back immediately. And they reply, ‘No, let those who work here stay, but the rest should return.”

For starters, the immediate context concerns the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ desertion rate, which the Associated Press estimated to be more than 100,000 since February 2022. Zelensky also acknowledged this problem late last week but downplayed it at the same time. Nevertheless, it’s clear that his generals must urgently replenish these losses as well as those from the battlefield, ergo the latest report from Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) about how they might soon drop the draft age to 18.

These immediate military imperatives can be exploited by the EU as the humanitarian pretext for not deporting Ukrainian refugees in order to keep them in the bloc so that they can either remain as cheap labor or soon become it. Accordingly, it’s unlikely that any of them will make any serious moves to repatriate them so long as the conflict continues, but it’s also possible that it might end later this year. That’s because Trump campaigned on doing so and Zelensky just suggested that he thinks it’s possible.

Speculation about the timeframe and terms aside, the latter of which could include some of the two dozen compromises that were recently proposed at the end of this analysis here, the end of the conflict could then instantly lead to more grassroots pressure upon EU governments to encourage those refugees to return. The two countries where this might soon become a pressing issue are Germany and Poland, which have around 1.2 million and 988,000 Ukrainian refugees respectively.

Elon Musk’s AfD Endorsement Triggers EU Push for Stricter Censorship Under Digital Services Act

Elon Musk’s endorsement of Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has sparked significant controversy, particularly among European political figures concerned about the potential for what they call “foreign interference” in Germany’s upcoming elections.

Musk, the CEO of X, voiced his support for some of AfD’s policies following a deadly terror attack in Germany. His comments have raised alarm among EU officials, prompting calls for increased scrutiny of the X app and its compliance with the EU’s stringent censorship laws.

Thierry Breton, the European Union’s former Commissioner, took to X to express his outrage over Musk’s support for AfD. In a tweet posted on December 21, Breton accused Musk of being involved in “foreign interference” in Germany’s electoral process, especially given the timing of his comments around the tragic attack in Magdeburg.

Breton, who has been an advocate for strict censorship of social media platforms, and even threatened Elon Musk for over his interview with President Donald Trump, also called for the immediate application of the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) to combat what he described as “double standards” when it comes to regulating speech online.

Following Japan, Europe Set to Approve Exotic New Self-Amplifying RNA ‘Vaccine’ Technology That May ‘Vaccinate’ Others Via Shedding

On Thursday the European Union’s medicine committee recommended marketing authorization of a novel exotic technology referred to as ‘self-amplifying RNA vaccines’ or ‘replicon vaccines’. Called Kostaive, it is reportedly for ‘protection’ against Covid. In October Japan became the first country on earth to begin injecting their population with the new shot.

“On 12 December 2024, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorisation for the medicinal product Kostaive, a vaccine intended for the prevention of COVID-19 in adults,” the European Medicines Agency said Thursday.

Unlike the notorious mRNA gene therapy injections used to ‘combat’ Covid, which make the vaccinated individual’s body produce an antigen (the spike protein in the case of the Covid shots) the new saRNA vaccines go a step further, making the body replicate the replication mechanism itself. Traditional (real) vaccines contain the antigen, which is intended to illicit an immune response in the body, unlike mRNA vaccines which make the body itself produce the antigen, which is then intended to illicit an immune response. Traditional vaccines also contain neurotoxins such as aluminum as an adjuvant (to agitate the immune system into action) and mercury as a preservative.

“Kostaive will be available as a powder for dispersion for injection. Kostaive is a RNA-based COVID-19 vaccine (ATC code: J07BN01). It contains a self-amplifying mRNA that encodes the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Self-amplifying means that the mRNA also carries instructions to make a protein called replicase. Once administered into a muscle, the replicase protein makes more copies of the mRNA, which the cell can use to make more spike protein. Vaccination with Kostaive induces the production of neutralising antibodies and a cellular immune response targeting the spike protein, which helps protect people against COVID-19,” the European Medicines Agency said Thursday.

The new shot triggers side effects 90 percent of the time.

“During the clinical trials for Kostaive, five deaths were reported among participants in the phase 3b study. Across study phases 1, 2, and 3a combined, 90 percent of injected participants experienced adverse events, with 74.5 percent reporting systemic reactions and 15.2 percent requiring medical attention after the first dose. Notably, many of the study authors are full-time employees of Arcturus Therapeutics, raising concerns about bias in their conclusions,” Lifesite News said Tuesday.

The new technology has been labeled as intrinsically dangerous and even as a bioweapon by some, sparking fears of the vaccine itself spreading to the non-vaccinated population, a step far beyond vaccine shedding.

“The man-made genes in the replicon vaccines, if introduced into humans, are likely to spread not only to other humans but also to other species,” The Expose said in September.

The novel vaccine technology is said to spread like a virus, vaccinating even those who refuse to take their shots.

“So this was a way to have a vaccine that spreads like a virus,” talkshow host Mike Adams said in a May 5, 2021 podcast. “And the research on this has been going on for over three decades.”

Don’t Fall for the Anti-European Psyop

A rootless people are one asking to be conquered by nefarious forces.

Even those who reside in a polity that views it as “exceptional” would be wise to never forget their roots. The story of American conservatism over the last century has been one of embracing creedal nationalism, wherein conservative adherents believe America “is an idea” — a proposition nation of sorts that is “exceptional” among nations due to its commitment to free enterprise, the rule of law, and limited government.

The essence of this can be found in the section of the Declaration of Independence where it spells out “all men are created equal.” For the exponents of the American universalist project, the Union’s triumph over the Confederacy during the Civil War, the U.S.’s victories in the two world wars in the 20th century, and its social engineering projects spanning the New Deal to the Great Society are viewed as ventures to advance the country’s founding principle of equality.

Once the U.S. reached its unipolar moment in the 1990s, American punditry embraced an imperial smugness that would make ancient emperors blush. They viewed the rest of the world, especially the ethnostates of the globe (save Israel of course), as primitive backwaters driven by parochial nationalism and outdated cultural practices.

Such a chauvinistic outlook has permeated down to pundits across the political spectrum. Conservative social media influencer Mike Cernovich’s recent comments about European countries served as a reminder of how deeply ingrained the American exceptionalism fixation is among Americans. In a post on X published on November 24, 2024, Cernovich stated:

Europoor as a meme arose after centuries of unearned snobbery from Europeans. America has better geography, a higher standard of living, and yes better food. Not to mention the total lack of innovation in Europe. They are primitive people.

There’s a growing trend of American political pundits who think they’re slick for attacking Europeans because of their perceived lower standard of living vis-a-vis the U.S. Richard Hanania, a political scientist of “enlightened centrist” orientation, routinely boasts about the U.S.’s economic superiority compared to the Old Continent. In one post on X, Hanania observed, “People in the UK and France are about as wealthy as the United States was in 1990. “
