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

BLITZKREIG! Germany Is Preparing To Reactivate Their World War 2 Bomb Shelters To Protect Their Citizens As NATO Warns Of Coming ‘Wartime Scenario’
Germany is drawing up a list of bunkers that could provide emergency shelter for civilians, with NATO warning at a time of rising tensions with Russia.
Donald Trump still has 56 days until he is sworn in as president of the United States, and by that time, he could easily be assassinated or World War 3 could be underway. A top NATO military official on Monday urged businesses to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly, in order to be less vulnerable to blackmail from countries such as Russia and China. Starmer in the UK and Emmanuel Macron in France are preparing to send in ground troops to Ukraine.
“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.” Psalm 55:21 (KJB)
Remember back in the days right before the lockdowns? Everyone was whispering that something might be coming, could be coming, and then – WHAMMO!! – there it was. How long have we been doing the same with this seemingly inevitable buildup to World War 3 we’ve been watching and are watching unfold right now? The US Federal Emergency Management Agency has released a spine-chilling survival guide for a nuclear attack amid the escalating Ukraine conflict and intensifying Middle Eastern disputes. Echoing Cold War-era preparedness, the agency’s updated advice aims to shield Americans from the horrors of a nuclear explosion. World War 3 is absolutely coming, it’s only a question of when.
Germany draws up list of bunkers amid Russia tensions as NATO warns
FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: The list would include underground train stations and car parks as well as state buildings and private properties, a ministry spokesperson said. A digital directory of bunkers and emergency shelters will be drawn up so people can find them quickly using a planned phone app. People would also be encouraged to create protective shelters in their homes by converting basements and garages, the spokesperson told a press briefing.
He declined to give a timetable, saying it was a big project that would take some time, involving the Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance and other authorities.
The country of 84 million people has 579 bunkers, mostly from the second world war and the cold war era, which can provide shelter for 480,000 people, down from about 2,000 bunkers previously.
The spokesperson said the key points of the plan were agreed at a conference of senior officials in June and a special group was looking into it.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, concerns have been growing about Moscow’s potential to target other NATO members. In October, German intelligence chiefs warned that Russia would probably be capable of launching an attack on the military alliance by 2030. German officials say the country is already experiencing a sharp rise in Russian spying and sabotage activities. Last week the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, said the conflict in Ukraine had characteristics of a “global” war and he did not rule out strikes on western countries. READ MORE

Flush With Cash From The Biden Administration, Ukraine Is Now Saying They Have The Capability To Produce A ‘Homemade Nuke’ To Fight Russia With
Ukraine has the resources and expertise to indigenously produce a large quantity of nuclear weapons at short notice if it was forced to do so, a briefing document meant for top government figures allegedly says, a report states.
Today, Biden administration Secretary of State Antony Blinken talked, bragged actually, about the massive amount of money the United States is planning on funneling, some would say laundering, to Ukraine in their endless war with Russia. It’s already at $8.5 billion since September, with many more billions to follow. What is Ukraine doing with that money? Making homemade nuclear bombs to attack Russia with.
“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.” Luke 21:9 (KJB)
The west and NATO continue to do this funny, little dance that draws us ever closer to WWIII, not the least of which is a proxy war being waged through Ukraine against Russia. If Ukraine actually starts building ‘homemade nukes’ it can only end in disaster. The fact that the outgoing Biden administration is bragging about the obscene amounts of money being given to Ukraine, in light of the very sparse support for Americans after things like hurricanes and floods, is beyond appalling. This is one of the main reasons why Donald Trump won in a landslide, to return some sense of normalcy to Washington, if such a thing can actually be done. There are still another 67 days left in the Biden administration, and they can still do a lot of damage.
Ukraine Believes it Can Build its Own Nuclear Bombs From Spent Fuel Rods in Months: Report
FROM BREITBART NEWS: A briefing produced for the Ukrainian defence ministry allegedly explaining to policy makers that the country could rapidly develop rudimentary nuclear bombs from spent fuel rods and long-range ballistic missiles to carry them states this could be achieved in just months.
Claimed as an exclusive by The Times of London, the document is presented by the newspaper as illustrating a potential backstop for the country to defend itself from the Russian Federation if the United States under a Trump Presidency withdrew military support. President Trump has made clear he wishes to bring peace to Europe quickly, but has not yet revealed how. Many of the options open to him do not align with the official Kyiv policy as the only acceptable end to the war being total victory over Russia.

The paper cites key lines from the report, written for the Ukraine government’s Centre for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies by Oleksii Yizhak, a senior leader at the National Institute for Strategic Studies, also a government think tank, both of which work in an official capacity advising the Presidency of Ukraine. It allegedly notes: “Creating a simple atomic bomb, as the United States did within the framework of the Manhattan Project, would not be a difficult task 80 years later”.
“I was surprised by the reverence the United States has for Russia’s nuclear threat. It may have cost us the war… They treat nuclear weapons as some kind of God. So perhaps it is also time for us to pray to this God.”
The degree to which the briefing was solely meant for the illumination of top Ukrainian cabinet ministers — given the dissemination of key paragraphs in a widely-read English newspaper — or is partly intended as a veiled threat to both Moscow and Washington D.C., is naturally hard to immediately ascertain. Certainly, the Ukrainian government communicated a rebuttal overnight, stating the country was bound by a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Yet this denial came without addressing the actual points in the briefing that the authors believe the country has legal grounds to unilaterally withdraw from those obligations, given it could claim other partners haven’t honoured it.
Whatever the truth, it is certain that the emergence of a new rogue nuclear state willing to use unsophisticated, low-yield nuclear weapons in Eastern Europe to defend its sovereignty from an aggressor would be not well received by Western capitals, and least of all by European nations threatened by drifting fallout clouds.

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
Israeli and pro-Palestine clashes: How a night of violence in Amsterdam unfolded
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.
