This restriction applies to criticism of the government (especially regarding immigration and energy policies), of the EU, of Islam, of government officials and of the media. - As in communist dictatorships, the more obvious the failings of the government, the more aggressively the establishment attacks those who speak out about them. - Large companies such as Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile), BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the supermarket chain REWE obeyed straightaway and promised to place Breitbart on the blacklist immediately, and never to advertise there again. - A plucky little pizza delivery service responded to the blacklisting demand by declaring that it was "not the morality police". The company was denounced by Der Spiegel as "inept", and after "protests from customers", it ended up capitulating, as the newspaper reported with much satisfaction.

Toward the end of last year, Germany experienced a previously unheard-of boycott campaign – funded by the German government, no less -- against several websites, such as the popular "Axis of Good" ("Achse des Guten"). The website, critical of the government, was suddenly accused of "right-wing populism". The German government's efforts at thought control seem to have begun with the victory of Donald J. Trump in the US presidential election -- that seems to set the "establishment" off. Germany's foreign minister and the probable future federal president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier -- one of the first to travel to Iran after the removal of sanctions there to kowtow to the Ayatollahs -- called America's future president a "hate preacher". Germany's newspapers were suddenly littered with apocalyptic predictions and anti-American fulminations.

ISIS militias have burned many Yezidi girls alive for refusing to convert... Why? Because we are not Muslims..." — Mirza Ismail, chairman of the Yezidi Human Rights Organization-International. - "This is genocide against women." — Zeynep Kaya Cavus, leading Alevi activist. - Sadly, many of the organizers and participants of the "Women's March" in Washington chose to ignore women being tortured and exterminated by Islamic terrorists, and in other parts of the world, not being able to to receive an education or even leave the house without the permission of a male. - If only these women felt as motivated to protest about the enslavement, rape and torture of Yazidi women and children, as about the cost of tampons. While actress Ashley Judd complained at a Washington D.C. "Women's March" that "tampons are taxed when Viagra and Rogaine are not," thousands of Yazidi children and women were being forced into sexual slavery in Iraq and Syria at the hands of Islamic State. On January 21, some women's rights groups organized "Women's Marches" in many cities across the Unites States and around the world. The rallies largely targeted recently-inaugurated U.S. President Donald Trump. There were many speakers and participants. One, the actress Ashley Judd, read a poem in Washington D.C. that asked why "tampons are taxed when Viagra and Rogaine are not". As Ms. Judd talked about her devastating tragedy, thousands of Yazidi children and women were being forced into sexual slavery in Iraq and Syria at the hands of Islamic State (ISIS), and available for purchase at sex-slave markets. ISIS attacked the Yazidi homeland of Shingal in Iraq on August 3, 2014; more than 9,000 Yazidis were killed, kidnapped, or sexually enslaved. Yazidis are a historically persecuted religious minority in the Middle East.

And I have a message to this prime minister. Stop with the deceit of the Netherlands. Stop deceiving your own people. There is absolutely no-one who still believes you. It was you, who caused the loss of our freedom, our security, and our culture. It was you, who governed with the Labor Party; you, who conducted dangerous open borders policy. You, who even allowed terrorists to freely travel in and out of the Netherlands. You, who have given Islam free rein. Why don't you talk about that? Four years of Mark Rutte means four years of, every day, a little less Netherlands. [Continue Reading Article] You are subscribed to this list as {EMAIL}.
