“The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.” -Marcus Aurelius
Some may remember Stephen Coughlin’s intervention at a 2015 OSCE meeting where they openly admitted that hate speech should be a criminal matter and that the truth can indeed be hate speech.
Stephen went back to the OSCE “Human Development Implementation Meeting” today and spoke again to this committee, who seem bound and determined to use the language of cultural-Marxism to turn free societies into totalitarian Marxist and communist ones.
The following article is an original translation by SIMONXML with much thanks.
It came to us by way of Tatjana Festerling’s Facebook page which has her comments which I will append below the article. Readers of VladTepesBlog may remember the main subject of this article to be the man arrested in the Netherlands for wearing a hat that looks kinda like a pig at a demonstration in the Netherlands.
Dutch Labour Party (PvdA) wants a travel ban on Dutch Pegida leader who hunts refugees in Bulgaria.
Edwin Wagensveld was out with pro-Russian ,Bulgarian militia and former Pegida leader Tatjana Festerling.
The Dutch Pegida leader, Edwin Wagensveld, hunts refugees in Bulgaria, revealed the German Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper at the beginning of this month. The PvdA now wants to know from Interior Minister Ronald Plasterk (PvdA) – replaced at the moment by Stef Blok (VVD) due to heart problems – whether he can impose a ban on Wagensveld.
In the picture with pro-Russian Bulgarian militia
Photos of Wagensveld appeared on Facebook appeared at the end of June with former Pegida leader, wife Tatjana Festerling. With them were masked men who, in their own words, were “voluntarily, unarmed and completely legally” helping the Bulgarian border police and tracking down “illegal invaders” on the Bulgarian-Turkish border. The masked men belong, according to the German newspaper, to a pro-Russian Bulgarian militia.
PvdA wants travel ban
The Dutch Labour Party believes that the surveillance of the external borders of the European Union is not a matter for private Dutch individuals. The Social Democrats want to know whether Wagensveld has done anything for which he can be prosecuted,
“Is participating in a self-appointed private army criminal?” In addition, the Labour Party wonders whether it is possible “to impose a travel ban on right-wing extremists who supposedly want to get involved in border control”.
Festerling had to step down as leader of Pegida Germany last month after she made statements about the shooting of refugees and picking up pitchforks against the German government. Wagensveld is the leader of Pegida Netherlands and at the beginning of this year gained some notoriety because he was arrested for wearing a hat in the form of a pig’s head.
Here is the video of his arrest last winter for wearing the hat
Now Dutch politicians from the left are completly going crazy: The Dutch Labour Party PvdA is demanding a ban on leaving the country for Edwin Wagensveld by Minister of Internal Affairs. Reason is: he travelled with me to the Bulgarian border in order to inform ourselves about the Bulgarian voluntary border patrols and their work, experiences and impressions directly from the entrance gate for islamic invaders – in terms of political correctness called “refugees” – from Turkey to Europe. After arresting him for wearing a pig-hat, this is the second great comedy-show the Dutch politicians delivers to the world. Or is it the fact, that the stream of these holy “refugees” are opium smugglers? This is one FACT that we found on our patrol, a backpack with approximately 500 gram of raw-opium. The truth is unwelcome in Europe these days. Western Europe is an open-air psychiatric ward.

Federal president Gauck gave an interview to ARD on the occasion that he is not seeking a second term as federal president. According to “Bericht aus Berlin” moderator Tina Hassel the majority of Germans would like to see him serve a second term, and a potshot at the AfD was also not far off. In his explanation to his decision he grinned and reassured citizens that there is absolutely no reason to worry when a new federal president will come in.
He then pushed his arrogance to the maximum limit in the interview when he, in connection with the newly growing sense of national identity and the danger of a falling apart of the EU, explained: “The elites are not the problem at all, the population is at the moment the problem. “ ??One has to just explain it to the people better, Gauck said. Instead of serving the citizenry, this man elevated himself above it and he sees his “employers” as THE problem. No Herr Gauck, the problem are politicians like you, who lie to the people, who patronize them and who insult them!

Note from translator:
When testing a substance using any kind of science, tests usually come in two categories, indicative and conclusive. Since this site began, we have been listing and discussing news events that were in the medium to high medium range of indicative that anything like democracy and freedom is on life support, if not dead in many Western nations, some of which, like England, are founders of the idea of democracy.
Before we can go forward you have to accept the premise which is that totalitarianism can work at either end or both ends of the user spectrum. You can more or less let people gather information as they want but they must outwardly process and present it in the official manner or face severe consequences. One example is how Soviet communism treated Darwinists. They felt that ‘Survival of the Fittest’ or ‘Natural Selection’ is too inherently, ‘free-market’ for their thinking and would punish anyone who did research in that field or agreed with it outwardly. You had to go with the official communist version of evolutionary biology, a form of Lysenkoism. The belief that life is created whenever and wherever the conditions for it, and communism, needed it to exist. This was the rational for wasting a ton of public resources and forced labour to plant wheat in Siberia. (Genuine science in the meantime produced men like Norman Borlaug who actually developed genetically modified strains of wheats and grains and corn that could in fact grow in hostile environments and now feeds one third of the Earth’s peoples)
The above of course is problematic because like Islam, communism operates on conclusion based reasoning. You must argue from a predetermined and politically motivated idea, which is set in law as axiomatic, and all deviation or alternatives, even if reason shows it to be cirrect, must be disallowed. And so we see in traditional, pre-information-age totalitarianism, people are punished for not reflecting the political axioms and abandoning reason except where it fits within the parameters of the political leaders.
But now we see a new approach. The addition of information controls where people may make decisions freely, or at least preserve the illusion of such, but the information they get is limited by the state so that all decisions are made within the state limited parameters. It feels like you are making your own decisions and forming your own opinions, but as the information you get must be of the official kind, your descisions and opinions are likely the state demanded ones, ormed by Using technology to limit what actual data may be obtained and then punishing those who break those limits with, for the moment, more socially oriented punishments. Loss of job, ostracism from your community. The destruction of your family due to loss of income or state benefits. England’s National Health Services, according to Mark Steyn’s excellent book ‘America Alone’, is the third largest employer in the world after the Chinese Army, and the Indian Rail company. So imagine if you add in security personnel, teachers and every other government employer how vulnerable the people of the United Kingdom and other semi-socialist European peoples are to the rapidly shifting winds of informational-totalitarianism.
The following links are moving well into conclusive testing of this thesis. I would like to thank in Advance, Nicolai S. George I. Tania G. M., and many others who I am not at all certain wish to be named even by initials as existential fear of exposing the truth of things begins to trickle up the spinal column.
A veteran Danish politician has been censured for tweeting about the Europe migrant crisis, receiving a fine from the high court for pointing out Muslim anti-Semitism.
Veteran Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkpartei, DF) politician and retired parliamentarian Mogens Camre made the tweets in 2014 following the comments of the Israeli ambassador to Berlin that year, who compared the persecution of Jews by Muslims in Europe to the situation in 1938.
The offending tweets read: “Regarding the Jews’ situation in Europe: The Muslims are continuing where Hitler left off. Only the same treatment Hitler received will change the situation… forces in the Islamic world who threaten non-Muslims should be fought like Saddam Hussein, Bin Laden and Gadaffi were”.
So in Denmark, one of the few lights of freedom still flickering in the growing wind of totalitarianism, a Danish politician was fined for rebroadcasting the words of an Israeli official of something he said that was demonstrably factual and highly quantifiable. The fact that the Danish state punished him is frankly, as surprising that the Israeli diplomat said it, as Israel was quite susceptible to this PC disease as well.
Had he retweeted it in order to mock, scorn, or otherwise disagree with it, Im pretty confident he would have been left alone or rewarded. So it isn’t just the words, although sometimes it is, it is whether or not you are opposing the official narrative of Islam in the West. If indeed this is part of an overarching plan to reform islam by not ‘encouraging moderate muslims into ‘radicalism’, then the cure is no different than the disease and we may as well convert.
German Media ‘Are Subject to Strict Censorship, Restrictions’
German journalist and former director of the ZDF-studio Wolfgang Herles has accused German media of obedience to the country’s authorities. He argued that many media sources follow “instructions from above” and are a subject to strict censorship.
In an interview with German radio Deutschlandfunk, Herles said that German journalists are not free to choose the stories and the way they want to cover them. The country’s authorities put restrictions on many subjects and have forced the media to follow certain instructions, reminding the journalist of the times of Germany’s division.
Comment Isn’t Free: Guardian to CLOSE Comments On Articles About ‘Race, Immigration and Islam
“A new strategy is aiming to counter an unacceptable level of toxic commentary on our website”, an opinion piece began in yesterday’s Observer – the Sunday edition of the Guardian newspaper.
The article, written by the Observer’s “reader’s editor” Stephen Pritchard, outlines how the paper – which recently announced a massive cost cutting exercise – is going to start censoring its readers on articles about race, immigration, and Islam.
“We are living in an age of rage,” the piece begins, going on to explain that because “People are angry with government, with media, with religion, with migration, with Europe, [and] with big business”, the paper will no longer tolerate its readers expressing these views “below the line” on its website; ironically named “Comment is Free”.

CONFIRMED: Daily Mail Article BLOCKED In Sweden Due To Migrant Murder Court Case
An article on website of the Daily Mail newspaper (Mail Online) is being blocked in Sweden after the news outlet cast doubts on the age of the alleged migrant attacker currently on trial in the country following the stabbing of a 22-year-old asylum centre worker.
Earlier this week the Mail Online reported that the family of the deceased 22-year-old Alexandra Mezher had revealed that she told them before her death that some of the ages of the so-called “child” migrants in the asylum centre were suspicious to her. She said she was dealing with “big powerful guys” aged up to 24 years old.

Photo: The area around Luttelgeest where the emergency ordinance applied
In the area around Luttelgeest in Flevoland, The Netherlands, an emergency ordinance was effected last night for an information meeting about the possible arrival of a second refugee center. The regulation applied to an area within a radius of five kilometers around the village and lasted until midnight. As far as is known, the evening passed quietly.
Because of the emergency ordinance, journalists from the local news agency (Omroep Flevoland) were removed from the area. They wanted to report on the meeting held at the Orchideeënhoeve but were turned away by police. Only people who have been invited to the meeting were allowed into the area.
Police advice
Mayor Van der Werff pointed out that information sessions in other municipalities had gotten out of hand, “especially because the residents who had been invited were approached by the press and were therefore unable to attend the information evening undisturbed and anonymously.” Van der Werff said that based on a police recommendation he had to assume there would be “serious disorders”.
The municipality of Noordoostpolder, which includes Luttelgeest under, has plans for a temporary reception center that would have capacity of 450 refugees. There has been a refugee center in Luttelgeest since 1987 with a capacity for 1400 people. Luttelgeest itself has 2100 inhabitants.
Letter
Reporter Ingrid Kupers from Omroep Flevoland said yesterday that local residents had been informed by letter about the meeting. In it, there were asked not to say anything in public about the meeting. When she went to the meeting location with a cameraman, the police instructed her to leave.
The editor of Omroep Flevoland intends to press charges.
The Vrij Nederland MP, Louis Bontes, spoke of “severe restrictions” on the freedom of the press and demanded to know what the Dutch government was going to do to prevent this happening again.
On Wednesday, the Dutch Society of Chief Editors appealed against the decision of a number of municipalities to keep the press away from information sessions about asylum centers. The immediate reason was the recent events in Heesch in Brabant, where only one local journalist was allowed in.

The IG Metall demands a non-compromising procedure against xenophobic employees. Firms should fire anyone who makes openly racist and xenophobic commentaries on the internet.
The IG Metall demands a non-compromising procedure against xenophobic employees. Firms should fire anyone who makes openly racist and xenophobic commentaries on the internet, so says the new IG-Metall boss Jörg Hofmann in an interview with Deutschlandfunk. The companies can expect approval of such actions from the Worker’s Union.
“Whoever hates? Fired”, “Everybody has to understand that.” It can’t be just accepted, when racist vulgarities split entire workforces, he says.
Hofmann also warns to not play domestic germans and refugees against each other. “The longtime unemployed person here has the same entitlements and chances for assistance as the refugees who come here.” In this non-discriminational approach is also included that refugees who are less qualified, still have a right to a minimum wage of 8,50 Euro. Dumping wages because they’re refugees are barred.
[Ed: Notice no definition of race is given, so that a person can lose their job, home and family based on a rational opinion about a pernicious ideology. Also that ‘refugees’ (sic) are given the same opportunity for work as legal tax paying Germans. Insane. And also likely not true, the system likely tilts towards muslims and if not now, soon]

This is an original translation from Danish media by Liberty Dk.
Foreword by translator:
Apparently we Danes are to be legally blindfolded in the name of the war on terror.
In an article in today’s Danish daily newspaper MetroExpress, the following article can be found (see translation below). Apparently the powers-that-be cannot tell the difference between people sharing information about what is really happening in the world vs. actually inciting and wanting to engage in terror…which of course, to a rational person, clearly is two different things entirely. To this end they furthermore propose to use the Child Porn filter.
To sum it up…a person actively engaged in trying to warn the Western world about the numerous atrocities perpetrated in the name of Islam would, by law, be put in the very same box as either a terrorist or a person inciting to terror.
The press it seems would be getting a free pass in this regard. We are apparently only to see those sanitized news blips the media chose for us to see.
Sadly, what is even more absurd is that, according to an on-going MetroExpress poll, most people agree.
Guess I’ll be going to the slammer!
SF wants to prohibit the sharing of terrorist videos
In a proposal which will be presented this week, the Socialist People’s Party (SF) will be tabling a suggestion which makes it illegal to share videos of terrorist attacks and beheadings. In several terrorism cases in Denmark there has been found, on hard disks and smartphones, videos of Al Qaeda’s terror and IS beheadings.
“It must be explicitly forbidden to share these horrific videos. We will also want ISPs to censor incitement to terror. To this end the idea the suggestion is that the child pornography filter can be taken into use so that it blocks access to sites with videos of executions and incitement to terror”, says the Chairman of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, Karina Lorentzen (SF), who, however, wants to make an exception for the press.
SF further proposes that the National Police Cyber ??Crime Center monitors the network and go after Danes who praise and incite terrorism.
The Child porn filter is a collaboration between telephone companies and police that stops people who want to go to pages with sexual images of children. The telecommunication industry would like to discuss the possibility of using this tool.
“Execution Videos are awful and disgusting, and I understand as such also the thoughts behind the proposal”, writes director Jacob Willer, stressing that it will require careful consideration, since it pretty much amounts to censorship.
Both the Danish People’s Party (DF) Group Chairman Peter Skaarup and the Consersvative supports SF’s proposal. It is a proposal that we can fully support, says the Conservatives Mai Mercado.
While Liberal Karsten Lauritzen believes that the law is already sufficient. “We just need the right to make some cases to see if it should be allowed to share these video’s”.
[Editor comment: At the end of World War II then Supreme Allied commander Eisenhower ordered that the Nazi atrocities be well documented in order that:
“Eisenhower, upon finding the victims of the death camps, ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He wrote the following to General Marshall after visiting a German internment camp near Gotha, Germany:
The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they [there] were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said that he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda”.[21]
We should all make it our business to save and catalogue every video we can from the Islamic State in order that the horrors and rationale behind these horrors cannot be dismissed or denied.we do this although we do not have to watch them all to spare our own psyches from damage. But it is a crime against history to prevent people from knowing the facts of this scale of barbarity and the motives for it. And I also affirm that knowing what Islam does to human beings and why damages them more than any 1 in a million deranged muslims that may join their cause

A close friend of Tommy Robinson informed me early this morning that Tommy is out again from prison within which he was placed based on a conviction on mortgage fraud.
The reality of that charge not withstanding, the conditions of his bail are indeed totalitarian and speak volumes as to the real reason for his arrest, showing that the Western world has implemented totalitarian methods of selective enforcement of laws we all are likely guilty of in some way, in order to implement sharia norms even if the reasons are to avoid provocation of the Islamic quarter.
To quote Tommy’s confidant:
Just to let you know following on from Tommy’s release from Prison we re-arranged Tommy’s debate at the Oxford Union for the 26th November. Tommy was visited by the Probation Services and informed that if he attends this debate he is not allowed to talk about Islam, Mohammed, Koran and if he does he will be recalled to Prison. Tommy is still determined to go and explain why he cannot debate certain subjects but is concerned that his Freedom of Speech is being silenced with the threat of Prison when none of the above topics relate to his ‘mortgage fraud’. Tommy feels that this is the way they are going to handle things now to try and silence him.
Unless there is something about which I truly do not understand, this, at least on the surface, would appear to be such a massive breach of democratic process and abuse of the legal system to actually destroy basic rights, as opposed to the entire purpose of Magna Carta, a British invention, which is to defend human rights, that Canada might consider writing a formal letter to the government of Great Britain asking why they did this, or perhaps raising the issue at the UN HRC, if indeed that august body still actually concerned itself with era human rights.

I wasn’t sure if I was gonna post on this issue and then I saw this:
Makes one wonder if pretty much every citizen of the world can charge the US and NSA with a crime against us all.
Check this out:
Cisco Systems Inc’s chief executive officer has written a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama urging him to curtail government surveillance after evidence circulated showing the U.S. National Security Agency had intercepted Cisco equipment, a company spokesman said on Sunday.?
In a letter dated May 15, John Chambers, chief executive officer and chairman of the networking equipment giant, warned of an erosion of confidence in the U.S. technology industry and called for new “standards of conduct” in how the NSA conducts its surveillance.
The facts are actually much worse than this. The people who make equipment that handles data on the internet are pretty much forced to put in back doors for the US spy agency so they can intercept who they want when they want with virtually no obstacles. This is a power that we have already seen will not be limited to what is in the obvious public interest. The IRS scandal alone should tell us why we cannot allow government to have this much power. And there isn’t much we can do. Technology has allowed for a kind of ‘hide-the-bruises’ form of totalitarian rule where the machinery and effects of government absolutism is complex, abstract and difficult to oppose and has names like, ‘net-neutrality’ which still is a mystery to me in part. Is it a good thing for individual empowerment or not?
It is already known that the USA has a massive spying program against, well everyone. So the Chinese may want to chuckle a bit at these arrests. Still, spying on other nations is what governments are supposed to do in the interest of keeping us all safe. It is genuine and expected national security activity. Industrial spying is IP theft and a crime and needs to be stopped. But so is spying on your own nationals.
It is however the logical consequence of opening up your borders and abandoning all rational criteria for who should be allowed to live amongst you and enjoy the benefits of your centuries of cooperative and self-sacrificing-for-the greater-good, culture. Once you decide to let all ideologies and cultures hold equal sway, you are going to have to watch everyone and make elaborate judgment calls like the UK does and arrest anyone who’s speech, ideas and actions are deemed to be against the interests of ‘preserving intercultural community harmony’ etc.
The crimes will have more and more nebulous names and the people arrested won’t be able to know if they have broken a law till they have. Much like sexual harassment for that matter where asking for a date gets you a wonderful evening or an arraignment and an entry into a sex offenders register, depending on how attractive you are to the victim.
This helps to explain the immigration policies, to a degree at least, of the current crop of despots. When your nation is infested with people who despise the builders of our culture and country, then the government has that one more excuse to monitor everyone and make up what is criminal or in the interests of national security as it goes along. We all like it when they arrest certain people, but that same machinery will be turned on the law abiding as we see in the US today. In Canada, while it seems that our government has a clear moral compass, the next one may not and will have access to the same machinery.
Constitutions that matter are written to limit gov’t. power. Technology and the kind of dystopian thinking you see in the 80s movie, Brazil has given states a total end run around those limits.

Thank you Talby for taking the time to research and write this post on the significance of Obama’s new policy of reducing the criteria for NSA searches from 3 degrees of separation to 2. The article below should offer some clarity for many of us.
Eeyore
NSA HQ
There is no better illustration of meaningless surveillance reform than “3 jumps to 2” in collection of telephone metadata. What this means is, instead of the NSA tracking, collecting and indefinately storing all of the telephone metadata of every American up to “3 steps removed” from “a number associated with a terrorist organization”, President Obama has lowered this number to 2.
When one considers the wording “a number associated with a terrorist group” for a moment, it generates questions:
1. Does associated mean that that a particular phone number is up to “2 steps removed” from a ‘terrorist organization’? Or 3 steps? Or is that just vague language for anyone at all?
To illustrate how closely unrelated people are connected, we turn to a great teacher of the social sciences throughout the ages, Kevin Bacon. If one googles the phrase ‘bacon number’ following the name of an actor or actress, google will spit back at you the degrees of separation between the given performer and Kevin Bacon.
Let’s pretend for a moment then, that the NSA have ‘associated’ Mr. Bacon with ‘terrorism’. Let’s use this bacon number tool, to find out how many people in Hollywood escape NSA suspicions because of the presence of just one terrorist, that is in our hypothetical example, Kevin Bacon.
