Below is my column in the Hill on the recent World Forum where leaders gathered to declare “A New World Order with European Values.” Globalists gathered in Berlin to seek a new era based on European values that not only involve the expansion of transnational systems but the contraction of free speech rights.
Here is the column:
“A New World Order With European Values.” Emblazoned across banners and signs, those words met the participants at this week’s meeting of the World Forum in Berlin.
Each year, leaders, executives, journalists and academics gather to address the greatest threats facing humanity. This year, there was little doubt about what they view as the current threat: the resurgence of populism and free speech.
In fairness to the Forum, “a New World Order” likely sounds more ominous for some civil libertarians than intended. While the European Union is a transnational government stretching across 27 nations, the organizers were referring to a shift of values away from the United States to Europe.
As one of the few speakers at the forum who was calling for greater protections for free speech, I found it an unnerving message. Even putting aside the implications of the New World Order, the idea of building a world on today’s European values is alarming for free speech.
Free speech is in a free fall in Europe, with ever-expanding speech regulations and criminal prosecutions — including for having “toxic ideologies.”
The World Forum has a powerful sense of fraternity, even an intimacy, among leaders who see each other as a global elite — a cadre of enlightened minds protecting citizens from their own poor choices and habits.
There has long been a push for transnational governing systems, and European figures see an opportunity created by the conflict with President Trump. The European Union is the model for such a Pax Europaea or “European peace.”
The problem is that this vision for a new Holy Roman Empire lacks a Charlamagne. More importantly, it lacks public support.
The very notion of a “New World Order” is chilling to many who oppose the rise of a globalist class with the rise of transnational governance in the European Union and beyond.
This year, there is a sense of panic among Europe’s elite over the victory of Trump and the Republicans in the U.S., as well as nationalist and populist European movements.
For globalists, the late Tip O’Neill’s rule that “all politics is local” is anathema. The European Union is intended to transcend national identities and priorities in favor of an inspired transnational government managed by an expert elite.
The message was clear. The new world order would be based on European, not American, values. To rally the faithful to the cause, the organizers called upon two of the patron saints of the global elite: Bill and Hillary Clinton. President Clinton was even given an award as “leader of the century.”
The Clintons were clearly in their element. Speaker after speaker denounced Trump and the rise of what they called “autocrats” and “oligarchs.” The irony was crushing. The European Union is based on the oligarchy of a ruling elite. The World Forum even took time to celebrate billionaires from Bill Gates to George Soros for funding “open societies” and greater transnational powers.
The discussions focused on blunting the rise of far-right parties and stemming the flow of “disinformation” that fosters such dissent.
Outside of this rarefied environment, the Orwellian language would border on the humorous: protecting democracy from itself and limiting free speech to foster free speech.
Yet, one aspect of the forum was striking and refreshingly open. This year it became clear why transnational governance gravitates toward greater limits on free speech.
Of course, all of this must be done in the name of democracy and free speech.
There is a coded language that is now in vogue with the anti-free speech community. They never say the word “censorship.” They prefer “content moderation.” They do not call for limiting speech. Instead, they call for limiting “false,” “hateful” or “inciteful” speech.
As for the rise of opposing parties and figures, they are referred to as movements by “low-information voters” misled by disinformation. Of course, it is the government that will decide what are acceptable and unacceptable viewpoints.
That code was broken recently by Vice President JD Vance, who confronted our European allies in Munich to restore free speech. He stripped away the pretense and called out the censorship.
With the rise of populist groups, anti-immigration movements and critics of European governance, there is a palpable challenge to EU authority. In that environment, free speech can be viewed as destabilizing because it spreads dissent and falsehoods about these figures and their agenda. Thus far, “European peace” has come at the price of silencing many of those voices; achieving the pretense of consensus through coerced silence.
Transnational governance requires consent over a wide swath of territory. The means that the control or cooperation of media and social media is essential to maintaining the consent of the governed.
That is why free speech is in a tailspin in Europe, with ever-expanding speech regulations and criminal prosecutions.
Yet, it is difficult to get a free people to give up freedom. They have to be very afraid or very angry. One of the speakers was Maria A. Ressa, a journalist and Nobel laureate. I admire Ressa’s courage as a journalist but previously criticized her anti-free speech positions. Ressa has struck out against critics who have denounced her for allegedly antisemitic views. She has warned that the right is using free speech and declaring “I will say it now: ‘The fascists are coming.’”
At the forum, Ressa again called for the audience of “powerful leaders” to prevent lies and dangerous disinformation from spreading worldwide.
But the free speech movement has shown a surprising resilience in the last few years. First, Elon Musk bought Twitter and dismantled its censorship apparatus, restoring free speech to the social media platform. More recently, Mark Zuckerburg announced that Meta would also restore free speech protections on Facebook and other platforms.
In a shock to many, young Irish voters have been credited with killing a move to further expand the criminalization of speech to include “xenophobia” and the “public dissemination or distribution of tracts, pictures or other material” from viewpoints barred under the law.
Anti-free speech forces are gathering to push back on such trends. Indeed, Hillary Clinton has hardly been subtle about the dangers of free speech to the new world order. After Musk bought Twitter with the intention of restoring free speech protections, Clinton called upon the European Union to use its infamous Digital Services Act to make Musk censor her fellow Americans. She has also suggested arresting those spreading disinformation.
The European Union did precisely that by threatening Musk with confiscatory fines and even arrest unless he censored users. When Musk decided to interview Trump in this election, EU censors warned him that they would be watching for any disinformation.
For many citizens, European governance does not exactly look like a triumph over “oligarchs” and “autocrats.” Indeed, the EU looks pretty oligarchic with its massive bureaucracy guided by a global elite and “good” billionaires like Soros and Gates.
Citizens would be wise to look beyond the catchy themes and consider what Pax Europaea would truly mean to them. We have many shared values with our European allies. However, given the current laws limiting political speech, a “New World Order Based on European Values” is hardly an inviting prospect for those who believe in robust democratic and free speech values.
Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University and the author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.”
“In fairness to the Forum, “a New World Order” likely sounds more ominous for some civil libertarians than intended. While the European Union is a transnational government stretching across 27 nations, the organizers were referring to a shift of values away from the United States to Europe.”
And yet, Turley is making sure it still sounds ominous and draconian so his loyal MAGA readers can rage about it. It’s not stopping him from creating the ominous narrative to suplicate his base.
What Turley isn’t saying is that it’s Trump’s fault. He’s the one burning bridges and accusing our allies of being “unfair” because he has no idea how things work globally. His tariff policy is a shining example of complete disarray and incompetence. He’s already backtracking…again on tariffs and he is now making exemptions to certain industries because his donors are going to get clobbered by his policies.
He whines about Europe not accepting an equal number of U.S cars without realizing that we don’t really make good cars. European standards are stricter and European tastes are different. It’s the same thing in China. In Japan they prefer smaller cars and we don’t build them, even to their standards because it’s not profitable.
It’s the same thing with other products. We just don’t make them in the quality they demand and most of our products have ingredients and things they don’t accept because they prefer quality foods instead of cheap and unhealthy food. Look at how we are dealing with the bird flu problem. Europe has no reason to trust that we are not pumping chickens full of anti-biotics and growth hormones that are banned in Europe. Not with the reduced inspections and oversight. Europe is not obligated to buy our products but Trump seems to have this idea that they must buy products from us in the same equal amount that they sell us. The problem is they don’t need as much and they prefer food that is healthy and affordable. That’s just the reality of how the market is.
Thanks to Trump Europe may be the new leader in what freedom and rational governance is. He’s making it easier for China to expand it’s influence and grow it’s economy by demonstrating that they can produce more, cheaper and with better quality. Trump even managed to upend the Canadian elections into the liberals favor thanks to his unhinged threats to annex Canada.
he’sssssssssss backkkkkkkkkkkkkk
George, having taken a day off to do some maintenance on the clown car that carries The Three Democrat Stooges here to do their performative political vaudeville theater, is back at work again with the same message:
BBBBUUUTTTTT…. MUH TRUMP!!!!! BBBBBUUUUTTTT…. MUH TURLEY!!!!!
Not sure I follow, George. If the Europeans don’t want to buy American cars and agricultural products, then there would be no reason to protect the EU market with tariffs. The import duties on cars in the EU is twice the US. The EU could simply reduce its tariff on cars and open its market to US cars without any risk for the EU manufacturers as EU consumers don’t buy those low quality cars anyway.
The EU has been protecting its agricultural market from the beginning. Agricultural policy has been the EU main concern for over 60 years now. The price for agricultural products in the EU is set artificially. Imports are taxed to the level of the EU price, and exports are subsidized, so EU producers can sell at the lower market prices overseas.
The EU trade policies have always been hypocritical: they support free markets when they export; but protect their own markets against imports.
“If the Europeans don’t want to buy American cars and agricultural products, then there would be no reason to protect the EU market with tariffs.”
The issue is that WE are not offering quality products that they expect. Their own car manucturers produce quality vehicles and that’s just it. They are now having to contend with Chinese vehicles that are high quality and better priced. We don’t offer that. They also have stricter standards that we don’t. If we can show that we offer BETTER products and keep the quality going then we stand a better chance of exporting more when demand increases.
It’s the same with agriculture. We put so much crap on our food and certain ingredients that are banned for a reason there. Their food is of better quality and cheaper. Ours isn’t. That’s just it. They have higher standards and rather than meet them and offer better quality we would be exporting more.
They support free markets. But they also have their own strict standards that WE must meet if we want to sell to them. They can export their agricultural products and foods here with no problem because they exceed our standards. We offer cheap overprocessed food that is not healthy. They don’t want that and we don’t do what they would prefer. Offer healthy food that is also affordable. WE don’t have that in our own grocery stores.
George, President Trump complains about unfair trade in that the EU levies higher tariffs on our products than we do on theirs. Tariffs are his complaint. He is not complaining about European consumers rejecting US products for whatever reason. The EU uses tariffs to protect its own industries. Your argument is that the quality of US products, i.e., cars and agricultural products, is so low that European consumers would not want it anyway. If your thesis is true, then there would be no reason to tax them with import duties and agricultural levies because the EU producer would be protected anyway due to the absence of consumer demand for US products.
I agree by the way with your assessment of our food output. May I assume that you are a supporter of Robert Kennedy Jr.’s efforts to improve our food quality?
The WEF loves Trump and his Tech Bro’s Stargate. He plans to violate environmental laws to build power plants to support massive AI data farms funded by foreigners.
This is the opposite of what MAGA voted for.
BTW I was following Turley on X but have not seen a post since last year because he is shadowbanned.
X is incredibly censored which is why most intelligent engagement is gone
and what is left is paid trolls that kiss the owners arse.
Facebook? That never changed, still completely censored.
Even ‘the donald’ is completely censored, they have kicked off anyone
critical of Trump which is almost everyone at this point.
MAGA loves the Constitution, this administration, not so much.
Turley can’t be this dumb as to believe we don’t have censorship now
I get Turkey’s posts on X regularly. Facebook I don’t use much. What he is saying on this article is totally correct, Europe do not believe in free speech and he is right on calling them on it.
Totally correct. In other words you can’t think for yourself, you need to be led by a blogger?
Think for yourself man.
Your duty.
“Think for yourself man.”
Posted from the Democrat Borg.
No, a Trump voter and supporter.
Seems you too are crazy sci fi film watcher. yeah, you got a lot of silly ideas by watching that nonsense.
If you want to really know about Trump and Musk who’s working for him (and those who voted for Trump rather than the DEI Hire, who could be more knowledgeable and trustworthy to ask than a rabid, vicious communist enraged that we didn’t get Obama’s Fourth Term?
Europeans have done little that is sensible for the past 125 years.
and you were around those last 125 years. what nonsense.
I think that story has already been written; I believe it’s title is 1984.
Its fiction silly person.
Turls, your blog is populated with low information right wingers interacting with Russian bots. Of course you see any effort to call it out writ large as threatening to you and your base.
Party on!!
Rabble Rabble Rabble Rabble Rabble! – Now-Unpaid DNC Troll
Spoken like a true censorship approving totalitarian. Party on!!
You would think that Europeans had enough of aristocracy. How ironic that they gathered in Berlin. I recall Berlin was the gathering place of another anti-free speech European, that worked out well for Europeans didn’t it? Hopefully Meloni stayed clear of these vipers.
The security of rights and sovereignty; two issues that are naturally intertwined and intrinsically individualistic. If it weren’t for human’s sinful nature, no government would be necessary.
The absolute opposite of individual sovereignty is one world government. The further away governance is from the individual, the less certainty there is on the security of rights.
7 billion individual “governments”, or one “world government.” The EU is a continental government. That’s the last stop before the latter. President Trump is trying to go in the opposite direction; disentangling the US from being the worldwide welfare bank and restoring sovereignty to the states. Globalism is the EU model, and the opposite of where the U.S. is heading.
Olly: Nice comment.
Thanks lin.
OLLY,
Great comment. I think that is why the EU elites and to a lesser degree those elites in America are in such a panic. They did not think those individuals would stand up and say, “No!” As such, the idea of free speech, or the power to dissent against the elites, is a threat to them and their power. It is funny how our leftist friends cannot see the authoritarian threat these elites poise to their own freedom.
It is funny how our leftist friends cannot see the authoritarian threat these elites poise to their own freedom.
Upstate, it’s remarkable that their cries of an American Oligarchy and authoritarian rule will mysteriously manifest itself out of a federal government returning power back to the states and the people. We had our “house divided” moment with the 2024 election and we chose wisely. The EU won’t get there collectively. Their alliance is becoming more like the Warsaw Pact. This is rapidly becoming our next “Cold War” and we’re going to have to look very closely at our NATO membership. The Prime Minister of Canada is mirroring the actions of these globalists, which would put a “Cuba” to our north. Interesting times we’re living in.
” If it weren’t for human’s sinful nature, no government would be necessary.”
I think I know what you mean by that statement, and I agree with that. However, I also know that some would expansively interpret the concept of “human’s sinful nature” to justify pervasive and unrelenting central control of virtually everything that humans are capable of doing, or even thinking. I’d rather formulate it something along the lines of “Humans, particularly humans in groups, have a tendency to seek advantage over other humans and groups by means of of violent predation. The best solution to this issue to allow humans to survive and prosper in larger societies is to create common governments that are authorized to prevent such predation. This narrowly construed purpose is the only justification for any government to claim any authority over any individual, anywhere.” That is much wordier than your formula, and I hate that, but I think it is also less amenable to deliberate misinterpretation. YMMV.
The best solution to this issue to allow humans to survive and prosper in larger societies is to create common governments that are authorized to prevent such predation.
Number 6, the only way to accomplish that lofty goal is with a deeply-held belief in principles that such a form of government would be legitimized. Our constitution has that from our DoI. I know of no other constitution on the planet rooted in such a declaration of rights. There is a document from Lincoln that eloquently expresses how those principles were embedded into our culture leading up to our DoI. The war, Articles of Confederation and ultimately our amendable constitution were only attainable because those principles were the bedrock of our culture.
Fragment on the Constitution and Union
All this is not the result of accident. It has a philosophical cause. Without the Constitution and the Union, we could not have attained the result; but even these are not the primary cause of our great prosperity. There is something back of these, entwining itself more closely about the human heart. That something is the principle of “liberty to all”—the principle that clears the path for all—gives hope to all—and by consequence, enterprise, and industry to all.
The expression of that principle, in our Declaration of Independence, was most happy and fortunate. Without this, as well as with it, we could have declared our independence of Great Britain; but without it, we could not, I think, have secured our free government and consequent prosperity. No oppressed people will fight and endure, as our fathers did, without the promise of something better than a mere change of masters.
The assertion of that principle, at that time, was the word “fitly spoken” which has proved an “apple of gold” to us. The Union and the Constitution are the picture of silver, subsequently framed around it. The picture was made not to conceal or destroy the apple but to adorn, and preserve it. The picture was made for the apple—not the apple for the picture.
So let us act, that neither picture or apple shall ever be blurred or bruised or broken.
That we may so act, we must study, and understand the points of danger.
………………..the organizers called upon two of the patron saints of the global elite: Bill and Hillary Clinton. President Clinton was even given an award as “leader of the century.”
Any organization that praises these two grifters is suspect.
“I will say it now: ‘The fascists are coming.’
The irony is thick as pea soup, mirrored Stateside by the likes of Sanders and AOC. I agree with others here though: Europe is set to self-destruct if they continue down this path, and the masks are off of the globalists for all to see – covid was just a bridge too far. Britain and Germany might be the first to fall to their self-inflicted 1,000 cuts, and eventually the people will have had enough. The subsequent crackdowns will show us precisely who the fascists are.
The hubris of these people is off the charts, and it is downright hilarious for any of them to be wagging their fingers in opposition to ‘oligarchy’ while praising Soros or the Clintons in the same breath Ha! And Biden’s White House did the same – they really do think we’re stupid. Biden’s last month in office was a mendacious slap in the face to freedom and sanity the likes of which the US has never seen.
The modern left is a global menace, and I’ll pass on joining them in the grave they are digging for themselves, thanks.
Something wrong with WordPress on my end – wrong av.
James,
Great comment.
The trustworthiness of the infospace for making sound public decisions (those not looked back upon with regret) seems to not register strongly enough with JT. It’s about avoiding blunders like the 8-year Iraq War, which grew out of a clever deceptive infowarfare campaign by Shiite Iraqis to dupe Americans into deposing Saddam Hussein. Or, the Biden campaign utilizing CIA-trained PsyOps expertise domestically to tilt the 2020 election away from Trump.
Decisions to go to war and elections have consequences.
Missing all along in JT’s one-sided approach to free speech is whether it goes so far as the right to manipulate — whether inauthenticity is co-equal to sincerity-candor under the laws and access-standards surrounding the public square. JT’s stance is:
“Go ahead and try to dupe the public, and so long as nobody is defamed, the most we’ll do about it is complain.”
“Whether you succeed in duping some, for some length of time, is not my concern — even if the falsehoods gain traction — even if they spawn unnecessary war — even if the infowarfare perpetrators are intent on destroying Americans and America.”
“Even if they are foreign enemies targeting our children with mind control technology”.
“We must give these deceptions and aggressions breathing room…because…..well, free speech”.
The Europeans are sometimes going way overboard, but it’s equally distressing when J.D. Vance goes there propping up the campaign of a Romanian Presidential candidate who publicly insists the moon landings were faked and Covid pandemic was a hoax.
What’s happening in Romania is akin to a situation in October 2020 here where, seeing the media all huddle around a devious whopper to cover-up Hunter’s laptop crafted by ex-CIA spooks, the Supreme Court halted the campaigns and delayed the election by months — in order to give the truth time to put on its sneakers. In other words, the Romanian Court is ruling that an election is not “free and fair” based on detecting infospace skullduggery to manipulate the outcome.
If that’s a “suspension of free speech” or “not trusting your own people”, then I guess election victory justly goes to the most compelling liar — and public decisionmaking in a democracy is in the hands of the most cunning, clever manipulator(s).
Gobbledegook!
The more things change, the more they stay the same. This is New World v. Old World redux. You will own nothing and be happy. Remember that? And eat crickets. In the dark. With no heat or AC. Outsource our individual liberty to Illuminati? No thank you. Meanwhile, we’ll share news of our progress building the United States of Mars.
New World Order by the Globalist, Elites, Left Wing Radicals etc. simply control over your life from day one, live in cities, no meat, very little apartments, no cars, only mass transit, eat bugs etc. reminds me of the old Charleton Heston movie Solent Green. All run by the Davos crowd, Obama, Gates, UK Elites, Clintons, etc. Two classes, the Elites and the rest of us. Mass Migration, One Party Rule, Wars, Control, Green New Scam, No Freedoms etc. Trump, Russia, Argentina etc leaders stand in their way along with MAGA.
Gee, looks like Turley hit your buttons.
Do you seriously believe all that will come to pass?
Calm down, breathe deep. Shut your eyes. Its all a dream.
Brother, we’ve been seeing this coming for years. Will this come about exactly as Huxley, Orwell, or hell, even Asimov or Bradbury predicted? Unlikely. However, it is all but impossible to draw parallels to the events fictionalized in Brave New World or 1984 in what we’ve seen the WEF, UN, EU, and the socio-liberal party in the US doing for the last 2 decades.
Hey mannnn… looks to me that you read too many sci fi books.
What is clear, the merger of the WEF, WHO, WF and the EU is alarming. It is clear after the bioweapon release of 2020 (COVID) and the subsequent attempt (somewhat successful) to Control the World through fiats and fear that the intent of these Marxist organizations is Control of the Economies and Policies of a “New World Order”. That should be enough to label these organizations its members and it’s funding supporters as Enemies of the United States……..All the warning signs are there.
They are in fact enemies of all countries. Marxist? what hogwash you write. You’re just tossing words for effect.
Funding? If ya ain’t got the money to pay for that new world order, it won’t work.
Germany’s new defense trillion Euro investment? Ha, empty words on paper. They may hate us, but they’re too cheap to pull it off.
What is remarkable with this “Neue Europaeische Weltordnung” is that among all of the braying of elites both here and abroad that America is not ‘exceptional’ – just another great power – their absolute horror at free speech makes the case for American exceptionalism: only America takes the idea of liberty seriously, in which governments powers are only those delegated to it by the people, in which rights inhere in the citizen, not government, and in which the limitations on government are expressly delimited in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. To say the Europeans still don’t get it, almost 250 years after the Declaration of Independence, is a gross understatement.
“Neue Europaeische Weltordnung” . Ain’t falling for that BS. Its just empty words by desperate governments.
Does one think now with Trump president, the world (dis)order is going to collapse?
That Europeans will pull together to destroy the USA. Never. They hate each other more than they Trump. Von der Lyden can’t pull that off.
Destroy the US with what? Their less than 2% contribution to NATO? Their unwashed masses that are becoming increasingly foreign to the soil? Their money, which is being peeled away and brought back to the USA?
I realized, after sending, that what I was responding to was a facetious rhetorical. I apologize. Carry on.
Based upon decades of being a primarily diagnostic industrial electrician concurrent with now decades of learning and practicing secular mind power methods for self-improvement, intentionally or not the Founders embedded the Preamble (minimally) to the US Constitution with some of the laws and rules of nature and to violate the Constitution is to also violate those higher laws. Any ‘New World Order’ that fails to follow the guidelines established by the US Constitution is doomed to fail, just as America itself is now failing due to more than a half a century of extremists and elitists subverting constitutional law and order through their pawns and puppets in high places for minority gain (e.g., the Reagan tax cuts for the rich in 1981 and 1988; Clinton and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1999, minimally). Simply put, ‘a government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich’ shall perish from this earth. The only question is: how many billions will suffer needlessly while an arrogant, ignorant, elitist rich minority repeat an old behavior expecting new results, again?
Reads like an AI response. Or a very paranoid person.
Anyway, after surviving 250 it expects it all to fall down now?
Although I do not trust my fellow man, I do trust them to do the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Civil war anyone?
Reads like someone too young to catch my typo on the second Reagan tax cut for the rich; 1986.
Does the “New World Order” include Russia and China?
Pony up your 5% to defend yourselves or else shut your mouths.
Incoherent.
“Free speech is in a free fall in Europe, with ever-expanding speech regulations and criminal prosecutions — including for having “toxic ideologies.”
The irony of that statement seems to have gone over Turley’s head. The real issue isn’t Europe; it’s us. Turley tends to focus on Europe and what he calls “globalists” with their supposed agenda against free speech. This serves as a convenient distraction from how we are actually undermining free speech ourselves. For instance, Trump is already pushing against the free speech rights of students who are protesting his policies, particularly his support for the violence against Palestinians.
Turley is completely ignoring the Trump administrations’s use of arcane laws to chill speech and call protests he doesn’t like, illegal. Let’s not forget the trampling of due process rights and even invoking war-time laws to enter homes without a warrant to search for illegal and legal immigrants. Trump’s DOJ wants to scour social media accounts of foreign students and green card holders for immoral or supportive views that are contrary to American values. Turley surely would vehemently protest against such an intrusion and constitutional rights violations.
Our government is trying to silence people who disagree with Trump and his policies. They are enforcing strict rules about how to speak up and are even threatening to cut funding to universities if they don’t report students who protest or speak out.
Turley focuses solely on Europe because they have a far more nuanced understanding of free speech and its limitations. While he may not be a free speech absolutist, his views strongly align with that ideology. Europe is within its rights to establish its own laws and perspectives, and generally, they are much more effective in regulating free speech than we are. Unlike us, they are not hypocrites when it comes to this issue. Turley chooses to disparage European values rather than confront the uncomfortable truth: we have an anti-free speech government here at home, intent on punishing those who dare to express dissent or criticize Trump’s policies.
Mahmoud Khalil’s case illustrates how Trump and conservatives attempt to punish individuals for expressing their political views peacefully. They have unfairly smeared him by labeling him a Hamas supporter without providing any evidence. In this context, Trump poses a greater threat than Europe, and Turley seems hesitant to criticize Trump directly out of fear of the MAGA movement. nut jobs will go after him just like they did with Laura Ingraham of Fox News for being “rude” to Trump because she pressed him on his BS. If Turley wants to combat anti-free speech. Perhaps he should look into our own government first before chastising others of doing far less than we are.
He’sssss hereeee…………
sorry for your TDS
“Mahmoud Khalil’s case illustrates…”
Same Sh!t from the same imbecile. The imbecile repeats the identical meaningless argument despite massive amounts of information from others.
Does the imbecile discuss other information? No. He doesn’t have the intellectual ability, so he repeats himself dozens of time saying nothing. This is consistent with his other claims on all other subjects written under his other many aliases.
S Meyer, you’ve offerd zero rebuttals of substance. I keep mentioning Khalil’s case because it’s the most important free speech issue right now. Turley is ignoring it because he knows that he cannot defend Trump and he doesn’t want to risk facing MAGA’s irrational rage and be labeled with TDS.
Your “massive amounts of information” is just unsupported allegations. Not evidence. Even Rubio cannot produce any proof of his claims against Khalil. That’s why Turley won’t discuss the issue. He knows Trump is wrong and he won’t state it openly because it will undermine Trump’s narrative and Fox News will not air his legal analysis for fear of incurring Trump’s wrath.
What’s to debate? He was here on a green card (or a variant thereof; there’s so much matter being flung it’s hard to tell what’s sticking) with restrictions given all similar holders. He violated said restrictions by aiding, abetting, and funding domestic terrorism. Therefore, his contract with the USA is null and void, and the recompense is his removal from sovereign soil.
“S Meyer, you’ve offerd zero rebuttals of substance. “
I offered the INA law. I provided information that he had a connection with Hamas, a terrorist organization, and violence. I provided the rationale as to why he should be deported. Others did the same and more, but you picked up your tail and ran away. You had a chance to respond to any of the claims, but intellectually, you were not up to it. You are a coward, a liar and an imbecile.

Mahmoud Khalil hid ties to UNRWA on green card application, feds say as they hit anti-Israel agitator with new accusations
By Published March 24, 2025, 1:25 p.m. ET
Detained Columbia University protester Mahmoud Khalil hid his ties to the controversial United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees on his visa application, the feds have alleged.
Lawyers for the Department of Justice lodged new accusations against the anti-Israel campus protest leader in court papers over the weekend, arguing that they should be grounds for his deportation.
Khalil — a green-card holder who was nabbed by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in New York on March 8 — allegedly fraudulently applied to change his immigration status without disclosing his “membership in certain organizations,” the feds said.
Mahmoud Khalil 3
Anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil has been charged with hiding his employment and the organizations he was a part of when he applied to change his immigration status. James Keivom
Among those organizations was the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, known as UNRWA, a relief agency that was infamously stripped of tens of millions of dollars in federal funding after an explosive report that some of its members took part in Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
Khalil was a political affairs officer with UNRWA from June through November 2023.
The DOJ also alleges that Khalil did not reveal he was working at the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, when he applied for his visa, or that he was a member of Columbia University Apartheid Divest — an anti-Israel group that set off protests at the Ivy League school.
—
This is another thing left out of his mandatory disclosure. According to the law, this type of violation alone is an adequate reason to deport a green card holder. We await your reading the immigration law.
We should run a poll trying to figure out which of George’s daily targets provides George with the most self-sexual gratification by insulting, defaming, and lying about: Trump or Professor Turley.
Let us be in no doubt. Those who have arrogated power to themselves across Europe in varying, but uniformly anti-democratic fashion, are now one head of the monster of evil that has attacked mankind. They are hysterically fearful as a result of their round defeat in the States, and the rapidly spreading popular awareness of the nature of our enemies, which is indeed the enemy within our own states. They need to be defenestrated, and let us hope that can be done by restoration of the application of the rule of law, for if it can not we shall see dark times indeed.
Really? You that paranoid? So kill those who don’t abide by American values.
The USA has a long record of murdering those are not like us – bloodthirsty!
“They need to be defenestrated”
Probably unnecessary. The unmitigated despots running the EU will seize upon any intervention by the US and seek to turn it to maintain or augment their power in one way or another. I recommend that we leave them entirely to their own devices. The probable result of that resolve would be that they will complete their self-destruction in fairly expeditious fashion.
Is The EU’s New Army The Final Nail In The Project’s Coffin?

“The EU project is very much like an old man on a bike moving very slowly along a Dutch cyclists’ path. The fear from the elites in the EU is that if he falls off the bike, he will never get back on. The constant worry from top EU figures is that if the EU loses its momentum with press coverage and relevance in general, then a pause – any pause – could be devastating. This, you might be surprised to hear, is what EU officials themselves confided in me when I was based in the Belgian capital. Such an expression gives you an idea of how little confidence the EU has in itself as a worthy, stable long-term project.”

I am wondering why censorship was bad when done by regimes such as National Socialist Germany and USSR but good and desirable now.
And calling me a slur is not a reply.

How about naive. You forgot to include the USA.

It’s one of life’s great mysteries, Antonio.
I am going to attempt to engage in wokespeak.
Censorship was bad in the past because these regimes were evil (at least nazi germany was) but now governments are implementing it to build a better world, stop hatred, racism and homophobia. That’s why we need ‘content moderation” and guardrails to protect the unwashed masses from disinformation.
How was my attempt to engage in wokespeak, s@@tlibs?

Apart from the dark and ominous implications of criminalizing free speech under the DSA edicts of the EU, and masking the attack as “content moderation,” any organization that would celebrate two of the most disgusting and corrupt Americans yet produced by this Republic — let alone honor one of them with a “leader of the century” award, itself a model of “disinformation” — reveals all that one needs to know about the EU’s intellectual bona fides.
You forgot to name names. Because there aren’t any?
They had Bush & Bush, Obama & Clinton & Biden as lackeys, convincing them that the U.S. was an equal partner with them. Trump has exposed them so now their fealty to Soros et al need not be camouflaged any longer

We have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents.” / “Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal…Conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global, political and economic structure- One World if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty- and I am proud of it.” -David Rockefeller “Memoirs” 2002 / ***** “The drive of the Rockefellers and their ALLIES is to create a one-world government combining Super Capitalism and Communism under the same tent- ALL under their control… Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do.
