U.S. Vice President JD Vance stood before world leaders in a Munich, Germany speech in which he challenged Europe’s resistance to free speech. He highlighted the arrest of a British citizen for silently praying outside an abortion clinic.

Vance stated, “I can tell you plainly: There can be no security if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience that guide your own people. What I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values.”

Delivering a speech in Germany, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance criticized European governments for suppressing free speech and discriminating against Christians. He urged leaders across Europe to reverse the ongoing crackdown on conservative voices and religious freedoms.

In his address at the Munich Security Conference in Munich on Friday, Vance noted that conservatives have been investigated, arrested, prosecuted or fined for protesting abortion and posting views on social media.

He also criticized attempts to exclude populist parties from political collaboration, saying they pose a threat to democracy.

Last month, the European Union introduced fresh measures to enforce the Digital Services Act, which limits American speech on social media platforms. While EU lawmakers claimed the initiative was to target “foreign interference” and “illegal content,” it raised concerns among free speech advocates in the U.S. The Act compels social media companies to remove “illegal content” or face penalties of up to 6% of their global annual turnover.

Paul Coleman, executive director of the legal advocacy group ADF International, warned at the time that a “new bipolar order of speech” was unfolding. “On the one hand, Europe is doubling down on censorship, while the U.S. is recommitting to its free speech heritage.”

“I can tell you plainly: There can be no security if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience that guide your own people,” Vance said in Munich. “What I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values.”

Canada Begins Euthanizing Veterans to Cut Back on Costly Treatments– slaynews.com

Excerpt:

The Canadian government is now pressuring military veterans into “assisted suicide” in order to relieve the burden on the nation’s socialized taxpayer-funded healthcare system.

Veterans who require costly treatments are now being pushed into being euthanized under the government’s “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) program.

The news comes as the United Kingdom edges closer to passing its own euthanasia laws.

Kelsi Sheren, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran injured in Afghanistan, is calling on UK citizens to take a stand against the legalization of euthanasia.

Sheren is highlighting cases where disabled veterans have been encouraged to consider assisted suicide.

She served as an artillery gunner in the Canadian Armed Forces.

“During my deployment, I was sent outside the wire to work alongside the British military in OP TORA ARWA,” Sheren revealed.

“That mission changed my life.

“I was injured and medically released in 2011 with PTSD, hearing loss, and a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

“Today, I live as a 100% disabled combat veteran.”

DOD ‘Social Engineering’ Program Created Phony Online Accounts– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

The Department of Defense funded a “large scale social deception” program, according to public spending disclosures. The Federalist has uncovered documents showing how the federal government used “social engineering” programs to develop networks of fraudulent social media accounts capable of violating Americans’ rights to speech and privacy online — and, potentially, psychological warfare.

The DOD awarded more than $9.1 million for Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS) for “ACTIVE SOCIAL ENGINEERING DEFENSE… LARGE SCALE SOCIAL DECEPTION” starting in 2018, according to government funding disclosures. Of the total amount promised, the federal government reportedly paid — or “outlayed” — more than $268,000 for the project.

TRSS is a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, which owns the leftist media outlet Reuters. According to the company’s website, it offers “scalable solutions to governments and global institutions,” and its leadership “leverages real-world experience in the US Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, law enforcement and the private sector.” The Air Force awarded the contract, and the DOD’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — the military’s shady research branch — funded the work in “large scale social deception.”

Self-styled free speech activists in the United Kingdom have found a fierce ally in Elon Musk as concerns about government censorship span continents.

Musk inserted himself into U.K. politics at the turn of the new year when he called for Tommy Robinson, a British activist characterized by critics as anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim, to be released from prison. Robinson has become the face of an anti-censorship movement in Great Britain after he was targeted by the government for spreading what it deemed hate speech and disinformation, particularly relating to Muslims and Islamist extremists.

After Dobbs, the maternal mortality rate is down– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

The public has been sold the lie that abortion keeps women safe and, by extension, reduces maternal mortality rates. We’ve been told lack of access to so-called reproductive care will kill women. During the 2024 election season, the Harris-Walz campaign pointed to President Donald Trump as a threat to women based on abortion. The data tell a different story.

Abortion lies, not abortion bans, have caused harm to women, and the maternal mortality rate is actually decreasing. Data published this month by the National Center for Health Statistics show the 2023 maternal mortality rate in the United States was “18.6 deaths per 100,000 live births.” This is a total of 669 deaths. In 2022, the rate was 22.3, which resulted in a total of 817 deaths.

Sadly, the U.S. has the highest rate of maternal deaths among developed nations. In the United Kingdom, for example, the maternal mortality rate for 2021-2023 was 12.67 per 100,000 live births. There is much work to be done to reduce our rate even further. However, a decrease is worth mentioning during a time when fearmongering is so prevalent.

Idaho National Guard Needs a Purge after Brass Says ‘No Christians Allowed’– lidblog.com

Excerpt:

 

I don’t know who needs to hear it, but the top brass of the Idaho Army National Guard need to be cashiered out of the service after being caught saying Christians are not allowed to be promoted to officer ranks.

The Liberty Counsel has filed a lawsuit against the military branch, but lawsuit or no, Governor Brad Little — a putative Republican — needs to start firing his top Army officers for this.

According to a Liberty Counsel press release:

Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit on behalf of an Idaho Army National Guard infantry officer against Governor Brad Little and two army generals for unlawfully removing the officer from command solely due to his personal Christian expression on biblical sexuality made outside of the military environment. An investigation into the officer, which revealed no wrongdoing, nevertheless recommended a policy to monitor potential candidates for command for any “concerning ideologies” as a way of “rooting out” any “extremism” in the ranks. In this case, the decision to remove him from command on this basis shows that his superiors believe his Bible-centered beliefs on sexuality to be concerning and essentially puts an unconstitutional “No Christians in Command” policy into action.

Catholic Charities Lies to Illegals to Aid Them Against ICE – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

Catholic Charities Milwaukee is outrageously advising illegal aliens on refusing to comply with ICE, demanding rights they do not have, lying about U.S. laws, requesting help from foreign officials in undermining immigration law enforcement, and more.

The infamous video in question begins with a woman, Barb Graham, introducing herself as “an attorney at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee in the Refugee and Immigration Services Program.” She claims to be helping illegal aliens to understand their “rights” if ICE comes to arrest them. “All people living in the United States, including people who are undocumented, have certain rights under the United States Constitution,” she asserts.

This is simply false.
