India Working to Become World Model for Digital Caesarists

Freedomist Editor September 20, 2021

India is paving the way to justify a digital caesarism based on opaque and ill-defined standards of fake news. The end goal is to allow an essentially reactionary and authoritarian government to control digital speech by means of anti fake news rules.

These rules are applied to platforms that themselves unofficially censor the speech of people who disagree with the particular brand of Caesarism their owners embrace. So we have an right-leaning authoritarian government going up against the left-leaning censorious platforms in a battle that true freedom lovers cannot win.

See below for original reporting that is stunningly devoid of the deeper critique a true people-centered free press would exercise.

New IT Rules prevent fake news, misuse of freedom of press: Centre tells HC

Excerpt:

The Centre has defended the legality of the new Information Technology (IT) Rules before the Delhi High Court, saying that the rules seek to “prevent the misuse of the freedom of press” and protect the citizens from fake news in digital media space which used to be largely unregulated.The Centre, in its counter affidavit filed on a challenge to the constitutional validity of the new IT Rules, has submitted that although the right to freedom of speech and expression, including the freedom of press, is critical for a vibrant democracy like India, citizens “cannot be treated as passive consumers.”

While submitting that there have been “past incidents of disinformation on digital media leading to disturbance of public order”, the Centre has asserted that digital media “allows sensational content being re-circulated in a different context leading to misinterpretation by the audience”, making it susceptible to being used as fake news.

Tom Klingenstein is a playwright, businessman, and academic whose true north has always been threefold: loving America, fighting for freedom, and upholding vital values and core institutions which are essential to an advanced civilization. His latest speech, found at tomklingenstein.com, is called “Winning The Cold Civil War” and is both a rallying call to those opossed to the totalitarianism stalking the halls of Congress and the White House and to GOP leadership who seem to not recognize the severity and intensity of the woke communist threat to our freedom.

Klingenstein states in the speech, “Winning a war requires two fundamental understandings. First, you must understand that you are, in fact, in a war. War time requires very different rhetoric, strategy and people than peace time. Trump is a wartime leader. Second, you must understand your enemy, what it wants and how it goes about getting what it wants. What our enemy wants is the destruction of the American way of life. It goes about it by trying to force everyone to say ‘America is systemically racist.’ If it can convince us of this falsehood, it will be well on its way to overturning the American way of life. Every time Joe Biden accuses America of being systemically racist, he is, though he doesn’t know it, calling for the overthrow of the American way of life.”

After detailing the true agenda of the woke communists and their tactics of delegitimizing America itself, Klingenstein focuses on the GOP’s role in fighting back, a role that Party has, in our estimation, abdicated.

“What should we do about all this? The essential thing, as I’ve tried to stress, is for Republicans to understand we are in a war and then act accordingly. War is not a time for too much civility, compromise, or for imputing good motives to the enemy. Our generals must fight as if the choice were between liberty and death. This is no time for sunshine patriots”, Klingenstein opined.

The effort to cancel America itself and replace it with woke communism, what we have called a new brand of communist totalitarianism that couples state and corporate power for authoritarian ends, has been barely acknowledged by the Republicans, who we often call a collaboration party for that reason.

May Tom’s rousing and intelligent call to action be seen by millions and embraced by all. Watch the speech and share it far and wide.

Attacks on Eritrean refugees in Tigray ‘clear war crimes’: HRW | Human Rights News

Excerpt:

Eritrean soldiers and Tigrayan militias raped, detained and killed Eritrean refugees in Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray in attacks that amounted to “clear war crimes”, an international rights watchdog has said.

Human Rights Watch’s report on Thursday contained detailed attacks around two camps in Tigray, where local forces have battled the Ethiopian government and their Eritrean allies since November in a conflict that has rocked the Horn of Africa region.

Tens of thousands of Eritrean refugees live in Tigray, a mountainous and poor province of about five million people.

“The horrific killings, rapes, and looting against Eritrean refugees in Tigray are clear war crimes,” said Laetitia Bader, the Horn of Africa director at Human Rights Watch (HRW), whose work drew on interviews with 28 refugees and other sources, including satellite imagery.

Excerpt:

The European Parliament adopted a resolution Thursday calling on Poland’s prime minister to cancel a case in which he asks a top Polish court whether Poland’s or the European Union’s law takes precedence in the country.

The court’s ruling, when it eventually comes, could be of fundamental nature for the EU legal order and for Poland’s relations with the bloc. Poland’s right-wing government insists that law systems are the sole responsibility of member states, not of the EU.

Dead Heat Ahead of Canada National Elections

Canada’s tight election heads into final stretch – Raw Story

Excerpt:

Tensions are mounting four days ahead of Canada’s legislative elections as Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called on citizens to “vote strategically” to block a Conservative surge as he faces a potential defeat at the hands of rookie Tory leader Erin O’Toole.

According to polls, the two major parties that have ruled Canada since its 1867 confederation are in a statistical dead heat, each garnering the support of 32 percent of respondents, while the leftist New Democratic Party trails far behind.

If the numbers hold, Canada could see a repeat of the 2019 general election in which Trudeau’s once-mighty juggernaut party was reduced to a minority government.

“The fight is escalating between the two political parties,” pollster Jean-Marc Leger told AFP.

US Mass Deports Haitian Refugees

Bill Collier September 20, 2021

Haiti is an insecure hell hole of corruption and inefficiency led by people without morals and it is no wonder tens of thousands want to flee to the US. But while the Biden administration practically rolls out the welcome mat for Hispanic migrants/refugees from the south, the African-descended Haitians are not welcome.

The US is unceremoniously and without any hearing for asylum seekers deporting over 12,000 Haitians to their homeland which is riven by disaster, from an assassination of the President to an earthquake to ongoing economic collapse. If any group of people could be called refugees, these people certainly can, but the woke administration for all its claims of caring for people of color more than anyone else is brutally and with historic speed sending people who are far more vulnerable and at risk than anyone else back while welcoming, how shall we see, rather lighter skinned migrants who are more well off and less vulnerable.

The people of Haiti have a country ruled by maniacs, to be blunt, and controlled by international agencies and global corporations in a way that the average Haitian has no hope or means of changing a thing. They are true victims without any realistic way to save themselves, no matter how hard they work.

One wonders why the Haitians are being removed so brutally, with nary a word of protest from the social justice media, but clearly the very notion of importing more black people seems to offend Democrats.

As AP Reported:

Central Americans have also crossed the border in comparable numbers without being subject to mass expulsion, although Mexico has agreed to accept them from the U.S. under pandemic-related authority in effect since March 2020. Mexico does not accept expelled Haitians or people of other nationalities outside of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

We suspect if we dig deeper that, in truth, importing millions of brown-skinned vote slaves who are also cheap labor is enough for the Democrats and their Republican collaborators, but accepting genuine refugees whose skin is black is off the table. In both cases, whether accepted or not, these people in both camps are being treated like cattle, dehumanized, and either retained for exploitation or expelled because they are of African descent.

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE CAESAR

Bill Collier September 18, 2021

We live in the dawning of new Western Empire, under the banner of globalism but aimed at world domination by a mostly white ruling class in the West via such entities as the UN, WTO, IMF, World Bank, and others. This is the end of “the republic”, or the period of relative decentralization, at least on a global scale. The desire is to ultimately turn all countries into puppets of a corporate ruling class mostly living in the West and mostly white male in composition.

The irony of this coterie of ruling class thugs using things like rainbow politics, alt-gendered social experiments, white-shaming, social and racial justice, equality and economic justice is that the very ruling class pushing these things to destroy the social fabric and unsettle society are quite against any of these things. In short, it’s a sham. Everyone being fired up to change the very shape and structure of society to fit these theoretical fantasies is being used to undermine the social order in order to pave the way for authoritarianism.

But there us only room at the top of an empire for one Caesar. As much as the ruling class think their unofficial and informal junta of around 100 or so top people can share power once they eliminate all competition to their unholy alliance, the truth is all of these grandees are at risk of falling victim to the same “canceling” as they are orchestrating against others.

“It (Caesarism)…is not dictatorship, not the result of one man’s overriding ambition, not a brutal seizure of power through revolution. It is not based on a specific doctrine or philosophy. It is essentially pragmatic and untheoretical. It is a slow, often century-old, unconscious development that ends in a voluntary surrender of a free people escaping from freedom to one autocratic master.” (From: pg. 5 in 1st edition Introduction, and pg. XI in “The Coming Ceasars” by Amaury De Riencourt)

Let’s be clear on two points: the entire new alt-gendered sociocultural paradigm being pushed so hard now is a sham and will be discarded as soon as possible and that there can only be one Caesar if the ruling class coalition wins its way. The emergence of that Caesar will likely be extremely violent.

This new empire will not be as universal as it aims, and it won’t even have unopposed control over the lands it rules. There will always be a growing core of people who find gaps for freedom and build parallel structures that are proof against all the efforts by the new Caesar to shut them down.

Ultimately, the West and and every civilization dominated by its rulers will suffer failure and collapse. The measures needed to gain and keep such monopoly power will bankrupt this empire long before it becomes invincible.

But ONE SINGLE Caesar is coming and must come, because in the end, when it comes to empire, there can only be ONE Caesar at a time.

UN Wants to Fund Taliban

Paul Collier September 16, 2021

The United Nations is urging nations to pay attention to the unfolding economic crisis of Afghanistan, which could hurt the majority of Afghanis under Taliban rule. The world organization is pushing for the country controlled by radical mountain Islamists that are openly engaged in activities commonly characterized by multiple nation-states, and even by the UN, as being terroristic in nature.

America could find it in the unenviable position of funding the same people that were just recently attempting to kill its own soldiers. The reputation of the American state on the world stage, which has already taken several hits recently, most notably in this same Afghanistan, could continue to diminish, leading many of our current ‘allies’ to consider maybe joining factions with stronger, more reliable allies like, perhaps, Russia, or China.

Whether these nation-states prove to be any more reliable than the US or not is not as important as the immediate perception that, compared to America’s last 10 years or so, almost anyone looks better as a source for protection from local threats than the US does right now. I predict the nation-states further outside of the central orbit of America, Australia, and the UK, might very well, at minimum, invite more presence by both Russia and China in a bid to hedge their bets should the US fail them like they did their allies in Afghanistan.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 9 (Reuters) – The United Nations warned on Thursday that the freezing of billions of dollars in Afghan assets to keep them out of Taliban hands would inevitably spark “a severe economic downturn” and could push millions more Afghans into poverty and hunger.

U.N. special envoy on Afghanistan, Deborah Lyons, said a way needed to be found to get money quickly flowing to the country “to prevent a total breakdown of the economy and social order” and with safeguards to ensure it is not misused by the Taliban.

Lyons told the U.N. Security Council that Afghanistan could be set “back for generations.”

“The economy must be allowed to breathe for a few more months, giving the Taliban a chance to demonstrate flexibility and a genuine…

Xi Comes Out Strong in Recent Call with Biden

Paul Collier September 16, 2021

Apparently, President Joe Biden had a long talk with Chairman Xi in a call that his team itself would characterize as being about setting the parameters for the new relationship between the US and China Post-Trump and assuring that there were no untintended conflicts because China misinterpreted an action from the US.

This is a call of weakness and begging and, for China, was propaganda gold that was used richly in its media, characterizing the call as a demonstration of the strength of Xi and China contrasted with the weakness of Biden. In his fist talk to Xi in 7 months, he came to him with shield down and sword offered, begging China not to do anything harmful to the US because they might misinterpret American action.

What really happened on this call, well, perhaps we will never know, but by the White House’s own stated goal and ‘accomplishment’ of the call, you cannot help but interpret this as a significant PR win for Xi and a nothingburger for Biden here at home, as this call will get little coverage that reaches rank and file Americans.

From an analyst’s perspective, the signalling from the White House’s own version of this call is that they are prepared to negotiate new terms and they are going in already giving China the starting advantage, most likely, I would surmise, because the DNC corpostate alliance requires they at least TRY to loosen up China’s markets to give our American companies their long-anticipated goal of tapping in to a giant Chinese market.

This weakness on the US is a reflection of the party in power’s dependence on billionaires to enforce and fund their new moral supremacist program for America, one that promises to finally fell the roadblock to central control in America, the Bill of Rights as an assumption of enititled rights by Americans who are willing to use those constructs to justifty opting out of your programs altogether, by any means necessary.

This weakness is only contigent on these companies not finding a viable alternative to China’s market prize, which might very well turn out to be India, a nation-state far more aligned with American individual rights as a concept than China ever could be so long as they follow Socialism with Chinese characteristics. After all, one of the founding principles of our nation, unity and diversity, is also one of the central tenets of India’s civilization since long before the time of Christ.

Biden, Xi discuss avoiding US-China ‘conflict’ in first call in seven months

Excerpt:

US President Joe Biden talked with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping for the first time in seven months Thursday, urging they ensure that “competition” between the two powers does not become “conflict,” the White House said.

During the call, Biden‘s message was that the United States wants to ensure “the dynamic remains competitive and that we don’t have any situation in the future where we veer into unintended conflict,” a senior US administration official told reporters.

In Beijing, state broadcaster CCTV reported that the phone call was “candid, in-depth” and covered “extensive strategic communication and exchanges on China-US relations and issues of mutual concern,” and that US policy on China has caused “serious difficulties.”

This was the leaders’ first call since February, when they talked for two hours, shortly after Biden took over from Donald Trump. The Biden administration official said the latest call lasted 90 minutes.

Iran has agreed to allow the global nuclear watchdog to service cameras used to monitor Iranian nuclear sites.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors will also be allowed to replace the cameras’ memory cards, and they will be kept in Iran.

Iran had previously said it would only hand over camera footage from key nuclear sites after an agreement is reached to lift US sanctions.

The IAEA had complained that Iran was blocking its monitoring work.
