This is extraordinary. France is truly a police state and the laws are arbitrary and made up to please Macron as needs be. Make sure you have the captions on and turn on the auto translate and set it to English. The translation is unusually good. I may do a hard coded version anyway for posterity.
I just got word that all of Bitchute.com, Jihadwatch, and Blazing Catfur cannot be accessed in Australia.
Neither can the White House site to gather info on people who have been deplatformed.
This is one dark dark day for Western thought and democracy.
Australia should be treated with contempt, defiance and shame.
This site has suggested many times that readers get and use a VPN at all times. Its maybe 5$ a month or less if you buy blocks of months. Often less than $3.00 a month.
Nord is a good one as is AIR VPN but there are lots. Find one, learn to use it and you will not have these problems.
This is no small thing.
As posted yesterday, Jeppe Juhl, a Danish national who is running for the Nw Conservative party in the upcoming Danish federal elections, was arrested for two reasons. One was linking to the video of the Scandinavian girls who were decapitated by religious muslims in Morocco, a video which Jeppe said he had never even seen, let alone posted, and two, is his involvement with New Speak, a set of videos he made three years ago.
Below are two of those videos:
I am reliably informed by political observers within Denmark, that their current Prime Minister appears to have the same set of ethics and ambitions as Canada’s Trudeau. Which would explain some of these actions in Denmark in the past few days.
Election was called in Denmark 2 days ago on Monday.
Today, Wednesday the 8th of may is when the arrests took place, one of which, Jeppe Juhl, was a man running for the New Conservative party of Denmark.
A major newspaper in Denmark, Ekstra Bladet, ran a straw poll to see who would win the upcoming election and Rasmus Paludan polled at 24%, the highest amount of any party in Denmark.
Snaphanen, one of the arrested and a 67 year old, Danish Blogger, was taken away by SIX police officers in handcuffs for sharing the video of the Scandinavian girls who had been decapitated by muslims in Morocco.
Jeppe Juhl, who was also arrested for sharing the video, said he had never even seen it let alone shared it, and they had arrested him also in connection for his work with New Speak, at least two years ago.
Thank you Tania G for the insights onto these events in. Denmark today, which show the real totalitarian, anti-democratic beliefs of the current Danish Prime Minister.

From Gates of Vienna:
I woke up this morning to find this comment by a Dane posted on last night’s news feed:
I thought you may want to know; not sure where to post this, so here it is anyway: This morning, Steen from “Snaphanen” in Copenhagen, Denmark was picked up by six police officers and taken in for questioning in handcuffs, and his computers, hard drives etc. seized. Allegedly for linking to links from other links to links eventually leading to a video of a beheading.
Shakespeare was right. There IS something rotten in the state of Denmark.
I took a quick look at Steen’s Steen’s blog. He has posted — using a borrowed computer — about what happened. He’s not the only one who was rounded up this morning; evidently this was a big day for cracking down on “Islamophobes” in Denmark.
In Denmark! I thought Denmark was different, but evidently not.
This is the closest to home the repression has hit. Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff was prosecuted and convicted, but she was never arrested, nor did she have her computers seized. This is the first time a good friend of mine has been handcuffed and taken away to help police with their enquiries.
I spent many enjoyable hours in Steen’s company on several occasions a few years ago. He put me up in his apartment and introduced me to a number of Danish dissidents, including Lars Hedegaard. Steen is a superb photographer — that was his primary pursuit before he took up Islamophobia. He took the photo at the top of this post in happier days, when I was in Denmark back in 2009, enjoying a meal at a restaurant with a group of Scandinavian dissidents. You can see me sitting at the far end of the table.

Although the ARD itself considers the use of force in connection with broadcasting fees to be inappropriate, yet another woman landed in prison in North Rhine-Westphalia on Thursday. Sylvia Schulte and her husband do not want to pay any flat-rate radio fee
It is not the first time that a citizen in Germany has ended up behind bars for small sums he refuses to pay for an unused service. And this despite the fact that the ARD itself considers the compulsory nature in connection with the radio report to be inappropriate.
Sylvia Schulte from Wuppertal was first taken to the Wuppertal prison. However, as this is a males-only prison, she was then taken to Cologne-Ossendorf, which her husband learned about only later, as he told RT Deutsch by telephone on request.
The offence committed by the 41-year-old housewife: For about four years Schulte has refused to pay the fees to the contribution service, which collects the radio fee for ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandradio. According to the freshly signed arrest warrant, the sum amounted to just 277.62 euros.
This picture above ^^^ is the copy of the “Haftbefehl” which translates into: “WARRANT OF ARREST”.
As reason for the refusal her husband gives above all the flat-rate form of the contribution to RT Deutsch. In his opinion, an appropriate form for the fees would be, for example, a model similar to that of pay stations, for which the viewer pays according to use. However, he points to the low quality of the offer in his opinion and believes that the public broadcasters would then hardly generate any revenue.
Sylvia Schulte had not received any reminder notices; there was only a notice of determination. The city of Wuppertal was to take over the case, but the deadline had already expired when an employee visited. The city’s high court bailiff then intervened and eventually signed the arrest warrant issued in April.
The Schultes are not surprised. For this was not the first case of imprisonment for refusing to pay radio licence fees; they had experienced a treatment similar to that of Sieglinde Baumert. In 2016 the woman from Chemnitz had to serve 61 days in prison because she had not paid any contributions.
After the case led to a lot of public criticism, Karola Wille, then president of ARD, said that compulsory imprisonment was disproportionate. However, this decision is not made by a broadcaster, but by the relevant authorities of the respective state. According to a press spokesman of the Ministry of Justice, a prison stay costs around 130 euros per day.
For the Schultes one thing now remains: to raise the money as quickly as possible from somewhere, preferably by Thursday. Only then can they deal with the numerous details, such as procedural errors in the entry in the debtors’ register.
[Editor]
1: ARD is a far left wing government propaganda network.
2: I bet no muslims pay this fee, and no muslims have ever been jailed for not paying it.
3: Employees of this TV station should be taken to court on extortion charges under these conditions. At least in the UK if you do not watch the BBC, you do not have to pay the fee.
Remember this clip from March 2019?
Te video below is an interview with the journalist who took that footage above, an was jailed for it. He has been jailed repeatedly by the French sate for doing his duty to democracy.
Error: He was jailed as he explained in the interview, for flipping the bird to the police after they shot him with a ‘grenade’.

For the 3rd time it seems necessary to post the Lara Logan clip:
Thank you Ava Lon for the work that went into this.
The perfect is often the enemy of the good.
And as Raegan said, the government that is big enough to give you everything is big enough to take everything away. I think we see an example of both here. The search for utopia results in an authoritarian totalitarian state.
Although this link is meant for New Zealanders, the UK is obviously at the same point or worse and many many nations, Canada among them, are well on the way to this Orwellian dystopia.
So heed the good advice in this series of posts.

This is a developing story and so far, the material I have on it is not super clear.
This, along with another highly dubious arrest in France, has taken a fair amount of time and discussions with three translators to make sense of it. It is a simple story and an important one, but not easy to get sense on what is out there so far. So please expect corrections and additions to this post as more information comes in, or more clarity is available.
The first issue, is the arrest of someone widely reported to be a spokesperson for the Yellow Vests in France. The presumption is that these are not licensed protests. You can see how people are reacting at what I think is the Police station, or possibly the home of the arrested, Eric Drouet.
There is an explanatory video I am hoping our translator can look at soon and perhaps we can bring a better explanation. The speaker is one of the top 2 or 3 counter-jihad citizen-journalists in France and highly authoritative on these issues. He himself is a target of the state for being critical of the past and present highly Marxist regimes.
The second arrest is of a man who was part of a crowd. There is video of what I am about too describe but there is, I am told by all three translators who looked at it, four actually, that there is no point in subtitling it.
You have a public official who is speaking to a crowd of YVPs (Yellow Vest Protestors) and he is obfuscating and stonewalling and generally pissing everyone off by failing to say anything of substance to the extent that all 4 translators say there is simply nothing there to translate.
At a certain point, one of the people in the crowd, who is as frustrated as the rest, can be heard clearly saying, “Guillotine!” for which he was arrested and faces up to 6 years in prison for this remark.
It is somewhat hard to know how this can be considered a threat as one would have to run home, build a guillotine, get it back there and get the guy into the thing before any real damage can be done. I suspect it would take some time to build as well. Nonetheless, six years in jail. They may as well have threatened him with dropping a piano on his head or a safe or an anvil. They would be equally difficult to set up to be effective, but yes, I get that France has a history with a guillotine.

Please also keep an eye on the comments under this post. Thanks to the amazing talent pool we have at this site, we can be nearly guaranteed of updates and corrections and related events and information as the evening passes.
Also we may have a translated video on the first arrest tonight.
Thank you M, Ava Lon, Sassy, FreeZoxee and MissPiggy and all who contributed to clarity on this post. These arrests may not work out like the state hopes it will, and when you see the translated segments of French leader, Macron, you may understand why. He is not a sympathetic character, nor is he one of the people in any way at all.
In Hollywood they are reputed to say: “What you really need in this business is sincerity. Once you can fake that you have it made”.
Emanuel Macron cannot fake sincerity. I hope to bring evidence of that to you soon.
Eeyore.

Here is a video on the event, the analysis within which, I do not fully agree. But the arrests are Orwellian and I mean that both literally and as a best case scenario at this point.
It should be mentioned that Katie Hopkins claims she was told, that the fire started because migrants were illegally, (in the real sense, not the modern sense) preparing Ramadan feasts over actual fires in their apartments and the government covered that up with a story about an exploding refrigerator.
This makes the arrests far more sinister. Not only must we treat the fire as a sacred thing, but any attempt to view it differently…
It is time they officially changed the name of the place to Air Strip One.
Here is the actual news story, which utterly escaped me till PC posted the video above to the Reader’s Links.
The decision by a seven-judge panel came after an Austrian national identified as Mrs. S. held two seminars in 2009 in which she insulted the prophet. (Shutterstock)
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled on Thursday that insulting Islam’s Prophet Mohammed is not covered by freedom of expression.
