I’ve been warning for years that leftists were enemies of the freedom of speech, and would destroy it if they could. They’re very close now to attaining their goal and establishing a fully authoritarian regime. Most Americans, however, still have no idea that this is going on at all. Hillary Clinton: “We lose total control” […]
YAF Sues UCLA After It Allowed Pro-Hamas Protesters to Shut Down My Speech
New in PJ Media: The freedom of speech is the foundation of any free society. Without it, a tyrant can work his will unhindered, which is one reason why the Biden-Harris regime’s distaste for this Constitutionally protected right is so disquieting. The problem, however, didn’t start with Old Joe and Kamala. America’s universities for decades […]
US State Department refuses to condemn EU censorship threats of Trump-Musk interview
In July, the EU demanded that Elon Musk abide by its moderation rules, based on its new content moderation law: The Digital Services Act. The law requires “tech platforms to weed out illegal and harmful content — or face fines.” This places Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X globally under obligation to the European Union, thus […]
Canada: Quebec government demands resignation of ‘Islamophobia czar’
The call for Elghawaby’s resignation came after she demanded that colleges and universities hire more Muslim professors. This was necessary, she claimed, because since Oct. 7, “a dangerous climate has festered on post-secondary campuses.” That’s true, but it involves Muslim and leftist students menacing Jewish and pro-Israel students, not the other way around. To remedy […]
Netherlands sentences Pakistani jihadis to prison for calling for murder of Geert Wilders
This is good, but it will change nothing. Pakistan certainly won’t extradite these two, and they will go about their business and likely continue to call for the murder of Wilders. Still, it is good to see at least one government in the West taking even a symbolic stand for the freedom of expression, when […]
Meta (Facebook) rules that genocidal call ‘From the river to the sea’ is not ‘hate speech’
Meanwhile, Facebook cracks down ruthlessly on opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others. “Meta board rules anti-Israel slogan ‘From the river to the sea’ is not hate speech — despite Hamas using it to call for Jewish state’s destruction,” by Taylor Herzlich, New York Post, September 4, 2024: Social media giant […]
Hey, Peasant, Kamala Harris Doesn’t Want You to Speak Without Her Permission
New in PJ Media: The media howled with glee back in 1992 when George H. W. Bush supposedly read off what were supposed to be his summary notes as if they were exactly the lines he was supposed to deliver: “Message: I care.” Much more recently, when Old Joe Biden more than once read off […]
As antisemitism skyrockets, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe voices concern over ‘Islamophobia’
“It says reports of antisemitic and anti-Muslim acts have increased by 284% and 29% respectively.” Yet OSCE is not voicing concern about antisemitism, but about “Islamophobia.” Note also that “Islamophobia” is used interchangeably in the article below with “anti-Muslim hatred.” OSCE claims that “there has been an upsurge in hatred against Muslims.” They don’t say […]
As UK moves to criminalize ‘Islamophobia,’ Secretary of State sidesteps question about what it actually is
Unbelievable The Labour Party keep saying they are going to root out Islamophobia. Today I asked the Secretary of State for their official definition of Islamophobia. You couldn’t make this up 👇 pic.twitter.com/Ha0d4L3SHK — Lee Anderson MP (@LeeAndersonMP_) September 2, 2024 The term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: vigilante attacks against […]
Sharia comes to Sweden as two men are to be tried for setting fire to the Qur’an
“Critics have said Sweden and Denmark, two of the most liberal countries in the world, should treat Quran burnings as a form of free speech protected by law.” Wow, what a great idea. It’s a shame that Sweden and Denmark are in such a hurry to discard it. They will find that the Muslims they’re […]
