Mike is a great ambassador for this genocidal Israeli regime. But therein lies the problem! "Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Matthew 7:22-24)

Kaja Kallas in January, on Iran: "Shutting down the internet while violently suppressing protests exposes a regime afraid of its own people." October: Paris tells telecom operators to be ready to cut TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and X. Same year Different Capital. The "protests" it feared started in poor Paris suburbs, with high school kids angry about absent teachers and shabby classrooms. Then the cost of living piled in, fuel, prices, a welfare state fraying at the seams. On 17 October it boiled over. More than 1,800 arrests, Limoges town hall gutted by fire, Marseille city hall stormed. (Not legitimizing these riots but rather calling out blatant hypocrisy of the EU regime when Tehran pulls the kill switch for security reasons. By the way, who profits from these riots? So on Monday Macron went to that same Marseille city hall and named the culprit. Not the empty classrooms, not the empty fridges. Social media. Platforms "damage our democracies," he said, they are "instruments for mobilising the worst." Odoxa published its verdict today: 16% of the French think he's a good president. 83% think he's a bad one. A record. I reckon when you're that far underwater the algorithm isn't your problem... And it didn't stop at a speech. This week the Senate adopted the government backed amendment to the "casseurs-payeurs" bill. Platforms get one hour to pull anything the state flags as a call to "insurrection", 24 hours for calls to violence or damage. Miss the deadline and Paris can ask for the whole site to be blocked and scrubbed from search engines. Miss the 24 hours and the fine can hit 2% of global turnover. The same bill would make anyone who "knowingly took part" in a riot liable for the damage, whether they broke anything or not. Paris has form here. In May 2024 it switched off TikTok in New Caledonia during riots. The Conseil d'État later ruled that illegal, a disproportionate attack on freedoms. Lesson learned? No. The tool just got a better legal wrapper. When Tehran pulls the plug, Brussels calls it fear of the people. When Paris drafts the plug, it's "public order". Swap the flag and the press release writes itself. Now the bit nobody in the Élysée wants you to notice. The same state that can't keep teachers in suburban classrooms is restarting nuclear warhead production for the first time in decades, and stretching its "forward deterrence" over 10 European countries. Money for warheads. A one hour deletion deadline for posts deemed a danger to the Macron regime. Kallas was right about one thing. A government that reaches for the kill switch is afraid of its own people. She just pointed at the wrong capital. Hypocrisy laced with contempt for Europeans is the one thing these Eurocrats do well.
