There’s a funny internet meme that uses a still frame from a British sketch comedy show in which two naïve Nazis wonder aloud, “Are we the baddies?” The conservative humor site Twitchy is fond of referencing that joke whenever the U.K. government treats George Orwell’s 1984 as an instruction manual instead of a warning. These days, the joke is everywhere because the world is watching Britain nosedive into abject tyranny.
U.K. officials do not like dissent. They do not like free speech. And they certainly do not like it when ordinary citizens criticize the government. For these reasons, the authoritarians across the pond caution their domestic serfs: “Think before you post.” Included in that ominous threat is the promise that the Crown will come after anyone for “inciting hatred” online. What is “hatred”? Why, that’s for government functionaries to decide and for lowly commoners to find out! In a bit of cowardly arm-twisting meant both to encourage community snitching and to terrify concerned family members, Big Brother underscores its warning with this doozy: “Remind those close to you to share responsibly or face the consequences.” The government’s thought police would hate for something bad to happen to someone you love. So don’t force them to be the baddies, okay?
Holy moly, what has happened to the home of the Magna Carta? Did MI5 rip that document to smithereens? Years ago, the wayward nitwit Prince Harry got into some hot water by dressing up as a Nazi for a costume ball. The public was aghast that a member of the Royal Family could be so daft as to minimize the atrocities of the fascist thugs who nearly conquered Europe. Little did they know that Harebrained Harry was way ahead of the game. The threat of fascism isn’t buried in Britain’s past; it’s choking Britain’s future. Maybe Meghan Markle’s leashed poodle should find his old German uniform now that Keir Starmer’s stormtroopers have taken Westminster.
At this moment, government authorities are blocking foreign I.P. addresses from accessing the United Kingdom’s police website. Apparently, the Brits have gotten their knickers in an Oliver Twist over outsiders using words that are now banned in the U.K. One freedom-curious bloke observed, “I see our police is a tad upset with Americans making fun of them.” Over there, the language enforcers are locking up Grandma and Grandpa for saying that foreigners shouldn’t be raping and murdering children, but over here, plenty of First Amendment–loving Americans are sending pictures of General George Washington kicking some serious Redcoat butt.
One transatlantic tweeter jeered, “I’ve never been more grateful that our forefathers crossed the Delaware on Christmas to kill British law enforcers.” If that sentiment doesn’t make you want to shoot off fireworks while grilling a couple ribeye steaks and revving the engine of a monster truck outside a WrestleMania grudge match, you might just be Canadian. Yucky U.K. can’t do squat when Joe America gives his two cents. So the powers that be scream at their I.T. boffins to shut down the internet, and the tech slaves do their best to comply. Surely some North Korean with a secret window to the outside world is shaking his head in disgust. As Amy Curtis over at Twitchy smartly concludes, “From ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ to ‘your Facebook posts hurt my feels’ in 75 years.” So true. RIP, U.K.
It’s hard to believe, but U.K. police officers are actually visiting homes and arresting people for “Facebook Crimes.” The “offenders” aren’t trafficking in drugs, weapons, or human chattel. They are accused of sending online messages — often humorous in nature — that criticize their country’s dangerous illegal immigration problem. Native Brits are upset that foreign nationals are committing crimes, and domestic police officers are using their resources to incarcerate citizens for voicing their concerns. Violent crime is okay, but denouncing violent crime is not. How surreal is that?
In the wake of the U.K.’s renewed war against words, a video from a while back has begun to make the rounds again. In that video, a couple of condescending coppers arrest an elderly gentleman. When he asks why they are doing so, one of the just-following-orders officers replies, “Someone has been caused anxiety based on your social media post, and that is why you’re being arrested.” What had the guy possibly posted on his social media account that caused so much “anxiety”? It turns out he had forwarded an image of the “trans flag” in the shape of a Nazi swastika. As the cherry on top of this police state sundae, an acquaintance who decided to record the altercation was subsequently arrested for “obstruction.”
Did irony officially die in the U.K.? A British citizen decides to criticize “transgenderism” as an oppressive ideology that does not countenance dissenting points of view. U.K. police officers, having traded their cognitive capacity for satire in return for fresh brownshirts and lethal truncheons, inadvertently prove his point by arresting him for expressing an opinion deemed “offensive” to the State. “Transgenderism,” it turns out, is not only a mental disorder, but also a totalitarian religion for zealots who possess their own jackbooted police force.
Ever since a second-generation immigrant went on a child-killing spree two weeks ago, Reichsführer Keir Starmer has threatened to use a “standing army” of police to crack down on public protest. The director of public prosecutions for England and Wales warns that sharing information online about the ongoing protests may constitute a criminal offense if the post includes “insulting or abusive” content that is “likely to stir up racial hatred.” Apparently, specialized police officers are “scouring social media” in search of violations. If only U.K. police worked as hard to stop violent crime as they do to censor uncomfortable words.
Maybe it’s just the molṑn labé American in me, but shouldn’t a prime minister and his lead prosecutors care more about punishing the people who murder children than punishing the people who wish to protect children from murder? Here’s a thought: what if the leader of the U.K. promised to create a “standing army” of police officers to hunt down pedophiles and child murderers? Does that not seem like a reasonable public policy? If not, why should parents ever believe that their children are safe with Reichsführer Starmer in charge?
One thing is certain: we are all being watched. Among the various secret agencies monitoring online communications in the U.K., the National Security Online Information Team (formerly the Counter Disinformation Unit used to combat dissent during the Reign of COVID Terror) is on the lookout for “problematic” speech. Although British censors (like their American cousins) claim to be “protecting” citizens from “hateful” words and inaccurate “disinformation,” their job essentially boils down to targeting independent thinkers who express opinions at odds with official government orthodoxy. In other words, only those people who parrot U.K. authorities are afforded “freedom of speech.” This “right to mimic” those who rule over us certainly does not make us free.
If there were any doubts that the U.K.’s “baddies” would join forces with America’s “baddies” here at home to silence us for our beliefs, Met police commissioner Mark Rowley dispelled them by promising to apply the full force of the law to extradite, prosecute, and imprison American citizens over online posts. Given that the federal government keeps J6 protesters as political prisoners, uses the FBI to harass conservatives, and regularly threatens the livelihoods of Americans who engage in anti-government speech, something tells me that the Biden regime would jump at the chance to deport American citizens for their tweets.
The governments of the United States and the United Kingdom will do anything to conceal the crimes of illegal immigrants. Are they the baddies? Most definitely.
Thanks for the restack, Kevin, we all 'know' where to leads, Communism.
The Nudge Units never went away 'after' COVID.
Just shifted targets.
You can hear their echoes in that gaslighting BS quoted at the top of the post. Imagine what a narcissist would say, then try and measure the overlap in a Venn diagram.
The circles are identical.
They are conducting psychological warfare against us, always. There is no genuine communication in their attack, it is just an attack.
The Monster doesn't waste effort. They have been diligently working through their generational campaign plan. Not always an unmitigated success, but inter-generational focus - like getting the US Federal Reserve (which took 3 attempts over decades, and possibly the sinking of a rather large ship). Each achievement setting conditions for the next. And the next.
Domestic spying brought in due to the 'threat' of...checks notes...2 holographic planes destroying 3 steel cored sky scrapers (or a bunch of Saudis with impossibly good pilot skills, if one wants to believe in fairy tales), leveraged to spy on 'all citizens all the time'.
Leveraged to keep the MICC wallowing in rivers of gold for decades. Much like the absurd Ukraine situation, where tens of billions of dollars are essentially laundered as another brother war plays out for The Monster as it has so many times before.
For TTK to let the mask slip tells me that the clock is running down for the endgame of their Agenda. He inflamed the situation, by caring more for inanimate buildings than innocent butchered humans.
What kind of psychopath would have made the statements he did that day/night? How diseased would your mind have to be, to literally pour gasoline on the situation? To ignore murderers and punish thought crimes?
The UK is lost. Has been for a long time.
But these things can always be turned around.
It is never too late to make things right. Just a matter of the cost now being exponentially higher than it would have been 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 years ago.
But the bill will be paid. And balance will be restored.
Godspeed.
Peace.
