Politicians in the United Kingdom want to more than silence people who oppose abortion:
UK Government Set To Ban Silent Prayer Outside Abortion Clinics
August 17, 2024
As the crackdown on free speech accelerates, the UK government is set to ban people silently praying in their heads outside abortion clinics.
MPs voted for legislation last year that would ban silent prayer within ‘buffer zones’ 150 metres around the location of a clinic or hospital providing abortion services. …
The issue shot to public attention in March 2023 when campaigner Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was arrested by police for silently praying in front of a British Pregnancy Advisory Services clinic that was subject to a ‘buffer zone’ order.
West Midlands Police later released her without charge and were forced to issue an apology after Vaughan-Spruce complained that she had been arrested for a “thought crime”.
However, such rights are set to be trampled completely as the new Labour government pushes to scrap the guidance and completely outlaw silent protest near abortion clinics, effectively criminalizing anyone who stands outside one and engages in ‘wrongthink’.
The Telegraph reports, “That ministers will now be reviewing this guidance. Pro-choice campaigners hope the review will result in both silent prayer and the handing out of leaflets being limited.” …
Dame Diana Johnson, the new policing minister, stated, “We specifically voted against proposals to allow silent prayer and consensual communication in safe access zones.” …
Brits are now being arrested and imprisoned for posts on social media which contain “anti-establishment rhetoric” as the purge intensifies following the recent anti-mass migration riots. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uk-government-set-ban-silent-prayer-outside-abortion-clinics
Abortion is wrong. Restricting silent prayer is wrong.
Intentionally murdering someone is a choice murderers do, but it is not a human right.
The sixth commandment, from the Book of Exodus, states:
13 “You shall not murder. (Exodus 20:13)
Abortion is murder and is a sin.
The Bible says to:
1 Cry aloud, spare not;
Lift up your voice like a trumpet;
Tell My people their transgression,
And the house of Jacob their sins. (Isaiah 58:1)
Abortion is a sin that should be denounced and not protected by governments and their censors.
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)
It is evil to try to stop people praying.
But, that is not the only censoring being done.
In addition to the censoring of social media in the UK related to political views the government does not want shared related to migration, there are other types of censorship going on in Europe.
Rep. Jim Jordan Slams EU’s Efforts to ‘Silence’ Conservatives
August 16, 2024
House Oversight Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, slammed the European Union’s efforts to “silence great Americans like Elon Musk” in a missive launched at EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, reported the New York Post.
Jordan claimed Breton is trying to “weaponize” the law against Musk and said he is prepared to investigate the governing body’s attempted “infringement on free speech.” …
Jordan accused the politician of pointing fingers at conservatives like Musk and Trump in a political bid to silence their voices.
“In light of your recent threats of reprisal toward X Corp … for facilitating political discourse in the US, we write to demand that you stop any attempt to intimidate individuals or entities engaged in political speech in the United States,” he wrote. …
“The European Union should mind their own business instead of trying to meddle in the U.S. presidential election,” Cheung said. “Let us be very clear — the European Union is an enemy of free speech and has no authority of any kind to dictate how we campaign.”
Jordan said “the silence from the pro-censorship Biden-Harris administration is deafening” on the issue. https://www.newsmax.com/politics/jordan-eu-silencing/2024/08/16/id/1176850/
While the European Union did distance itself from Thierry Breton censorship threats–he brought up its Digital Services Act, the EU is more and more setting up censorship controls.
Here is some information related to one of its censorship controls:
13 August 2024.
The European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA), which fully came into force on 17 February 2024, is the world’s first systemic online safety law that takes a comprehensive approach to a range of online services and types of online risks. It aims to create a “safe, predictable and trusted online environment that facilitates innovation” while protecting fundamental rights enshrined under the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, such as rights to freedom of expression and information, or non-discrimination (Article 1.1). It also creates new transparency and data access mechanisms for conducting public-interest research online. These mechanisms seek to enable academic and civil society researchers to better understand online risks and how they are facilitated by platform systems, internal processes, features or functionalities.
Many of the DSA’s provisions are relevant for preventing online risks related to democratic processes, extremism, disinformation and hate; these issues are the focus of ISD’s work. …
Disinformation: As defined in the European Democracy Action Plan, disinformation is false or misleading content that is spread with an intention to deceive or secure economic or political gain, and which may cause public harm. …
Misinformation: As defined in the European Democracy Action Plan, misinformation is false or misleading content shared without harmful intent. Even if shared in good faith, the effects can still be harmful. https://www.isdglobal.org/explainers/eu-digital-services-act/
EU leader Thierry Breton claimed BEFORE the interview between Elon Musk and Donald Trump took place that it “may cause public harm,” hence Elon Musk would have to censor it.
Notice also that even if one, in good faith, posts something that the EU does not like the censorship controls can be used.
More censorship is coming.
One of the messages that Amos proclaimed is that the time would come when people would not be able to find the words of God:
11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
But shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)
I have long believed that the above warning is a reference to a coming internet censorship. We have seen a lot of it since I first posted about it.
The Apostle John was told by Jesus to write the following:
15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)
‘666’ will involve, in addition to financial controls, massive censorship.
We see some of the building blocks of this being put in place in Europe.
