Due to limitations on free speech, telling people they must
accept the foreign culture of refugees, accept Islamic Sharia in their Justice
system and the governance of unelected oligarchical elites over the people; The
European Union is becoming more despotic than representatively democratic. An
essay by Fjordman believes this is evidence the EU is becoming the new Evil
Empire.
U.S.
President Ronald Reagan angered many in 1983 when he dubbed the Soviet Union
the “evil empire.” Yet he was telling the truth. It was an Evil Empire. The European
Union is the Evil Empire reborn. It increasingly resembles a political mafia,
with threats and blackmail. Yet U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama actively
supports the new Evil Empire. He even intervened in the British campaign in
2016 and encouraged Britain to remain in the EU. –Fjordman

The Czech
politician Vera Jourová is the European Union’s Commissioner for Justice,
Consumers and Gender Equality in the Juncker Commission. In October 2015,
Commissioner Jourová indicated that the EU will clamp down even harder on
so-called “hate speech” directed against immigrants:
“If freedom of expression is one of the building blocks of a democratic
society, hate speech on the other hand, is a blatant violation of that freedom.
It must be severely punished. As some of you noted, over the past few weeks, we
have witnessed a lot of solidarity towards refugees. But we have seen a surge
of xenophobic hate speech. Some of you advocated enrolling the help of online
intermediaries such as Google or Facebook to take down hate speech from the
web. Other participants rather underlined promoting the use of
counter-narratives. You also highlighted the need for clearer procedures to
prosecute those who spread hate speech online. I was pleased to hear media and
Internet providers’ experiences and to hear their commitment to work with us. I
fully agree with you on these lines of action. As was said this morning,
Internet knows no borders. I intend to bring together IT companies, business,
national authorities and civil society around the table in Brussels to tackle
together online hate speech.”[1]
These statements were not empty words. On May
31, 2016, the European Commission — the unelected
“government” for over half a billion people from the Black Sea to the North Sea
— together with the major companies Facebook, Twitter, YouTube (owned by
Google) and Microsoft unveil a code of conduct. This includes a series of
commitments to combat the spread of racism and xenophobia in Europe. EU
Commissioner Vera Jourová in partnership with these major Internet companies
unveiled a “code of conduct” to combat the spread of “illegal hate speech”
online.[2]
Free speech advocates have warned that the definition of
“hate speech” is so vague the EU could end up with the power to get postings
critical of the Brussels project removed from the Internet forever in what
constitutes a “frightening path to totalitarianism”. The former UKIP MEP Janice
Atkinson blasted: “It’s Orwellian. Anyone who has read 1984
sees it’s very re-enactment live.”[3] The Internet firms must
work with EU officials to build a “network” of “trusted reporters” who can flag
up instances of ‘hate speech’ to be removed within 24 hours. The EU’s
definition of “hate speech” is so vague that it could potentially include
virtually anything deemed politically incorrect by European authorities,
including criticism of mass migration, Islam or even the European Union itself.
The analyst Soeren Kern warns that the EU has declared war
on Internet free speech.[4]
The EU authorities have previously demonstrated that they
consider so-called “Islamophobia” to constitute hate speech and racism. These
new EU regulations will presumably make it even more difficult for Europeans to
voice their opposition to Muslim immigration and the Islamization of their
countries. American websites such as Jihad Watch or Gates of Vienna still enjoy some free speech
protection from the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. If they had been
based in the EU, they would now have run the risk of being banned outright.
There is a chilling totalitarian impulse behind these censorship efforts.
While the EU clamps down harder on alleged Islamophobia, the
Islamic terror threat in Europe has never been greater. Repeated attacks and
Jihadist massacres in Copenhagen, Paris, Brussels and elsewhere prove this.
Some of this terror threat is directly caused by the immigration policies and
open borders promoted by the EU.
In early June 2016, a plot by the Islamic State (IS)
to murder many people in Düsseldorf, Germany was revealed. A suspect in police
custody has admitted to the authorities that ten Muslim terrorists were
supposed to be involved in the plot to murder Europeans with bombs and guns.[5] A
number of Islamic Jihadists have entered Europe as alleged “refugees” with the
flow of migrants in 2015 and 2016. This is now a documented fact.
The massive influx of more than one million illegal
immigrants in the Mediterranean in 2015 caused great internal tensions within
the EU. While some came from Libya and headed towards Italy, a striking number
of the predominantly Muslim migrants came in boats from the Turkish coast,
heading for Greece and the rest of Europe. The authorities in the Muslim NATO
country Turkey have cynically exploited this flow of migrants to squeeze
concessions of out European authorities. This behavior essentially amounts to
demographic warfare. It is certainly not the behavior of a friendly, supposedly
allied country.
The European Commission has in 2016 given conditional
backing for Turkish people to gain visa-free travel inside Europe’s
passport-free Schengen area. Yavuz Baydar, a liberal
Turkish journalist, said Turkey had all the power because it could break off
the migrant deal at any moment. He said EU leaders let the Turkish government
“play them like a yoyo.”[6] Turkey has taken the EU hostage,
with migrants used as blackmail.
The EU’s ruling oligarchs indicate that millions of Muslims
from Turkey may soon get easy, visa-free access to
Europe.[7] In reality, the number of Muslims will probably be
higher than this. Most of Turkey is geographically a part of the Middle East.
The country borders Syria, Iraq and Iran. Once Turks have free access to the
EU, the sale of Turkish passports and people smuggling from other Islamic
countries to Europe will likely increase.
Turkey will soon have a larger population than Germany.
Several million people of Turkish and Kurdish origins already live in Germany,
plus rapidly increasing numbers of other Muslims. Hundreds of thousands of
Afghans and others entered Germany just in 2015.
Anatolia, currently known as Turkey, was populated by
Christians a thousand years ago, especially Greek-speaking Christians.
Constantinople, now called Istanbul, was for centuries the largest city in
Christian Europe. When Turks came from Central Asia, they began a
thousand-year-long campaign of Jihad and ethnic cleansing. The result is that
there are very few Christians left in Anatolia today. The genocide of Christian
Armenians between 1915 and 1917 was just one part of this. A century later,
Turkey still refuses to recognize the Armenian genocide.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his AKP party have largely
dismantled the secular reforms instituted by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Erdogan has
pushed Turkey in a more authoritarian and aggressively Islamic direction. Why do
we still treat the Turks as allies? Turks have been enemies of European
civilization for over a millennium, apart from a few decades during the Cold
War.
Will the EU cave in to Turkish blackmail? It is insane to
pay for aid in stopping hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants, and in
exchange for this give millions of Muslims easier access to Europe. Any
rational leader would not do such a thing. Unfortunately, it has been a long
time since Western European leaders acted in the rational interests of their
nations. EU leaders have for years developed the habit of caving in to Muslim
demands.
In early June 2016,
British Prime Minister David Cameron said there would be a recession, years of
uncertainty and weaker trade in the event of Brexit. “Add those things together
— the shock impact, the uncertainty impact, the trade impact — and you put a
bomb under our economy,” he said.[8] Peace in Europe could be
at risk if Britain votes to leave the European Union, PM Cameron previously
warned.[9]
Apparently, if you don’t surrender your freedom to a group
of bureaucrats in Brussels, all kinds of disasters and plagues will rain down
from the heavens. In 2005, the Swedish EU Commissioner Margot Wallström warned
Europeans that they should support the EU Constitution or risk a new Holocaust.[10]
Prime Ministers must stop listening so much to their voters
and instead act as “full time Europeans,” according to the powerful Commission
President Jean-Claude Juncker.
Elected leaders are making life “difficult” because they spend too much time
thinking about what they can get out of EU and bowing to public opinion. Mr.
Juncker has warned the British people that they will be treated as “deserters”
if they leave the EU.[11] That is a shockingly aggressive
statement from a top EU oligarch to the citizens of a previously free nation.
In most conflicts, deserters are dealt with harshly, and often executed.
The unelected Juncker has also publicly insulted Hungary’s
Prime Minister Viktor Orban, ironically calling him a “dictator.”[12] Orban
defends European civilization and the interests of his own nation. That is what
his supporters and free citizens elected him to do. Juncker brags about
using lies and subterfuge to force further EU integration upon European
citizens, whether they want this or not.[13] Jean-Claude
Juncker is so arrogant and insufferable that he turns thousands of people
against the EU every time he opens his mouth. If Britain leaves the EU, Mr.
Juncker’s extreme arrogance and authoritarian mindset will surely have
contributed to this outcome.
The ruling EU elites are afraid that a Brexit could lead to
a domino effect, causing other countries to leave the EU. Almost half of all Italians would
vote to leave the EU if given the opportunity, according to one poll.[14]
If the British vote to leave the European Union, this would
be a tremendous blow to the EU. The British resisted Napoleon’s attempts at
subjugation in the nineteenth century. They also led the fight against Hitler
in the twentieth century. It would be perfect historical symmetry if the
British dealt a crushing blow to an increasingly dangerous and totalitarian EU
in the twenty-first century.
However, Britain is no longer the same country as it was 200
years ago, or even 50 years ago. London now has a Muslim mayor. It is
increasingly hard to find an actual Englishman is the English capital city. The
Great Displacement of the native population through mass immigration continues
at full speed, in the UK as in the rest of Western Europe. Muslim immigrants
routinely gang rape white girls in towns across England. In a healthy Britain,
the campaign to leave the EU should have won by a landslide.
I have spent a lot of time analyzing the EU. Whatever hopes
I might have had in the early 1990s that it was a positive project have long
since evaporated. A decade ago, my conclusion was
that the organization is flawed beyond repair.[15] Perhaps the
EU will be remembered as the alleged “peace project” that once again plunged
Europe into conflict. This was my view already before the debt crisis in the
Eurozone, and before the more recent migration crisis. Since then, things have
deteriorated even further. The EU actively causes tensions within the North and
South, East and West of Europe.
Africa is projected to grow with over one billion people in
the coming 30 years. That is more than twice the population of the entire
European Union today. If the Islamic world and Africa were to send a quarter of
a billion migrants to Europe merely in the next decade, the population of these
regions would still continue to grow. The EU responds to this unsustainable
population explosion at its southern doorstep by making it easier to
migrate from African countries to Europe.[16]
Europe has probably never throughout its entire, turbulent
history been weaker than in the early decades of the twenty-first century.
Europe is now the sick man of the world. Other countries can simply dump their
failed cultures and unsustainable population growth in our lands.
The EU elites act in a nearly dictatorial manner. They
ignore widespread popular opposition and open the continent up for millions of
Muslims. The same EU elites want to punish formerly independent
European nation states that refuse to take in Muslim immigrants.[17]This
happens at a time when a disturbing number of immigrants harass Europeans in
their own streets or plot murderous attacks in various European cities.
Forcing Muslims on European local communities while Muslims
harass Europeans is not merely wrong. It is evil.
U.S. President Ronald Reagan angered many in 1983 when he
dubbed the Soviet Union the “evil empire.” Yet he was telling the truth. It was
an Evil Empire. The European Union is the Evil Empire reborn. It increasingly
resembles a political mafia, with threats and blackmail. Yet U.S. President
Barack Hussein Obama actively
supports the new Evil Empire. He even intervened in the British campaign in
2016 and encouraged Britain to remain in the EU.[18]
The EU has become the anti-European Union, a cultural
wrecking ball that is destroying European civilization. Through a toxic mix of
stupidity, cowardice, lust for power and ideological fanaticism, European
ruling elites promote suicidal immigration policies that are destabilizing much
of the European continent. The organization does not solve any of Europe’s
fundamental problems. It makes some of them worse, and adds new ones.
Of the EU’s key institutions, the European Parliament is the
only one that is directly elected by the peoples of Europe. Current Members of
the European Parliament (MEPs) should get paid for the period in which they
have been elected, but not more. All institutions of the EU should be formally
dismantled and abolished as soon as possible. That includes the European
Commission, the European Council, the Council of the European Union, the Court
of Justice of the European Union, the European Central Bank and the European
Court of Auditors.
Europeans need to get rid of the EU, before the EU inflicts
irreparable damage on European civilization.

Blog Editor: a bit of info on Fjordman
Info from when Fjordman’s anonymity was exposed due to
the Norwegian terrorism of Anders Breivik:
… Among other studies Fjordman
has been an anti-Jihadist writer warning of the dark side of the religion
Islam. …
…
At any rate the man I consider
one of the most scholarly of non-Muslim intellectuals willing to shed political
correctness is being scrutinized by the Norwegian police for inciting Norwegian
terrorist Anders Breivik to execute his Norwegian Massacre.
…
Breivik put together this 1500
page or so manuscript of which very little was actually
original. Breivik borrowed from numerous notable anti-Jihadist writers to
extrapolate a warped vision of Crusader Christians modeled after his
interpretation of the Knights Templar. Breivik’s warped version of Christianity
was to be the uniting symbolism to bring in a New European Order that would
force Muslim immigrants to leave. The problem with Breivik’s New European Order
was his plan adopted terrorist tactics against the ruling elite or to make the
ruling elite to look bad to inspire ordinary Europeans to rise up to throw
Liberal-Multiculturalist ruling elites out. Thus Norway experienced the
slaughter of seventy or so Norwegians of young and old as part of a plan to
terrorize the New European Order into existence.
…
I learned in an Andrew
Bostom article that the police interviewed and confiscated his
computer. It looks to me like the persecution of free speech is beginning to
take on a police state motif in Norway. Hmm … It could be Breivik’s massacre
might actually lead to a test of free speech between free speech limiting
Multiculturalists and the few Liberty-minded European Conservatives that exist.
…
The one tragedy you should be
aware before you read about Fjordman interviews with the police and a Norwegian
media outlet is that Fjordman is no longer an anonymous writer. Because of
police investigations Fjordman gave an interview to Verdans Gang in which he
publicly reveals his actual name believing the police investigation would
eventually reveal it anyway.

Another SlantRight post:
…
The writer and author Peder Are
Nøstvold Jensen, better known as Fjordman, is a European treasure
and a near extinct rarity unfortunately. I have admired and followed him for
many years.
He’s been an inspiration to me
personally as a writer and essayist. In fact, his book Defeating Eurabia was the catalyst
for my own book No Apologies which
will be released on Amazon for the Kindle this spring.
Fjordman has paid the price for
having the courage to stand up for what is right and true. It is incredible,
that in today’s Europe, one can hardly dare to stand up ones culture and
country without undergoing intense scrutiny, harassment, and sometimes even persecution
from the authorities. Not to mention risking death at the hands of the Muslims
hordes who those same authorities have allowed to overrun the borders and flood
the continent in their millions.
…
… After the 2011
Norway attacks by Anders Behring Breivik (see Is Anders Behring Breivik the Nordic Che Guevara?)
Peder was ‘outed’ as Fjordman (a dangerous thing in Europe), lost his job, came
under intense scrutiny from the government, and had his personal computer
confiscated by the police. He is currently in exile from his native Norway and
has paid the price for speaking out for the truth.
