UN says governments must regulate “HATE SPEECH,” claims this “is not an attack on free speech”

“It is not an attack on free speech or the silencing of controversial ideas or criticism.”

It most certainly is. As I have pointed out many times, truth is the new hate speech. The enemies of freedom brand opposition to jihad “hate speech,” and now they’re working toward criminalizing it. They’re racing against time: as the jihad in Europe and the U.S. grows more aggressive, the truth of what I have said for years is becoming increasingly obvious. So they’re trying to clamp down hard and hang on to power, and keep on implementing their suicidal policies.

“United Nations: Regulating ‘Hate’ Speech ‘Not an Attack on Free Speech,’” by Penny Starr, Breitbart, March 21, 2017:

The United Nations marked the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on Tuesday by telling governments around the world that regulating “hate speech” is part of the strategy needed to “stand up for someone’s rights.”

Governments around the world “have a legal obligation to stop hate speech and hate crimes,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein reportedly said Tuesday, adding a call “on people everywhere to ‘stand up for someone’s rights,’” the press release about the event said.

“It is not an attack on free speech or the silencing of controversial ideas or criticism, but a recognition that the right to freedom of expression carries with it special duties and responsibilities,” Al Hussein said in a statement.

“Words of fear and loathing can, and do, have real consequences,” Zeid said.

In his statement, Zeid said that U.N. member states “do not have any excuse to allow racism and xenophobia to fester.”

States “have the legal obligation to prohibit and eliminate racial discrimination, to guarantee the right of everyone, no matter their race, color, national or ethnic origin, to equality before the law.”

“At the Summit for Refugees and Migrants in September 2016, U.N. member states adopted a declaration strongly condemning acts and manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance,” the press release said. “The Summit also sparked the UN’s Together initiative to change negative perceptions and attitudes aimed at refugees and migrants.”

The press release said this year’s theme is “ending racial profiling and incitement to hatred, including as it relates to people’s attitudes and actions towards migration.”…

If it isn’t, than what the hell is??? And this Muslim butt hole is sitting in New York, a free country while blathering this crap. How about stopping the UN’s hatred for Israel first, and then may be we’ll have a discussion on freedom of speech.

Besides de-funding the UN’s rats nest, this butt-hole’s making an excellent case to have the UN thrown off of U.S. soil.

Repeat a lie frequently, soon everyone (the undiscerning) will believe it. “Free speech for all, just don’t offend so-and-so”.

Obama was well trained in this concept, understood how this should be executed for 8 long years, and liars-in-arms (leftists and MSM) went along willingly.

The u.n, which is nothing less than a crock of fecal material, is a tool of islam, nothing else. The fools and dupes that support it are just that, tools of islam. If the u.n was even remotely serious about doing something about hate literature, the qur’an would be banned. There are few books as widespread as the qur’an that promotes as much hatred against definable visible groups of people.

United Nations is the biggest enemy of freedom (and free speech) particularly since the OIC lobby dominated completely that organization. It became a CRIMINAL organization and thus has absolutely no moral legitimacy whatsoever. Whatever THEY say is a lie by definition, lies propagated by criminals on the purpose to promote their crimes. It is high time that this criminal enterprise be dissolved and expelled from American soil once and for all.

So, the Jordanian Muslim sharia compliant UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein is now regulating “hate” speech saying it is not an attack on free speech – then what is it??? ANY criticism of Islam is considered “hate” speech according to sharia law so his move to internationalize and criminalize any criticism of Islam effectively imposes sharia law worldwide. Islam considers itself a religion of peace because it contends that the world will be peaceful when everyone is Muslim! That premise is a stunning example of the cognitive dissonance created when two opposing ideas are presented as one – the state of having inconsistent thoughts is so disturbing to people that it mobilizes them to either change their thoughts or change their behavior in an attempt to regain equilibrium. Cognitive dissonance is a powerful weapon of the information war being waged by Islam and the Left against the West. It is the operating principle that insists criminalizing criticism of Islam is not an attack on free speech – of course it is! Tavistock Institute has taught us that the constant shock of cognitive dissonance pushes a society to the edge of psychosis where its citizens will surrender their rational thinking to regain equilibrium. This psychodynamic explains the insanity (not being in touch with objective reality) of left-wing liberal Europeans defending the open border cultural suicide policies of Angela Merkel. The Islamists and the Leftists have common cause. The social engineering and mass indoctrination brought to America by Tavistock Institute after WWII has succeeded in propagandizing two generations of Americans with deliberate disinformation designed to desensitize, disinform, destabilize, and destroy America from within. Our children and grandchildren are being deliberately indoctrinated with anti-American left-wing liberal propaganda seeking to accomplish internally what America’s enemies were unable to accomplish militarily. The Islamists, the anarchists, the left-wing liberals all have common cause to destabilize America from within – they differ only in their dreams for the final outcome. The Islamists seek world dominion, the re-establishment of the caliphate, and the imposition of sharia law worldwide. The radical Left seeks to destroy American capitalism and impose socialism. The globalist elites support both the chaos provided by the Islamists ( jihadi terrorism and Muslim Brotherhood stealth jihad) and the chaos provided by Leftists Obama/Clinton (advancing Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals) because a chaotic destabilized America is vulnerable to an internationalized police force and the ultimate takeover by the globalist elites who dream of one-world government where they are the rulers of the new world order. President Donald Trump is the single greatest existential threat to the Left, the Islamists, and the globalist elite’s new world order which is why he has so many enemies arrayed against him. Any American hoping to preserve America’s sovereignty and the individual freedoms that we enjoy must wake up and realize that making America great again is not just a campaign slogan – it is an appeal to preserve and protect the greatest experiment in individual freedoms ever created in any society on Earth.

That was quite a piece! So much food for thought. Wherever did you get that perspective? I have been struggling to put it together from bits and pieces gleaned from here in there, and here you have it all put together in one cohesive whole that says it all. A snapshot view of the current global political dynamic. I am going to copy and paste that into my own notes, adding paragraph breaks to make for easier digestion.

The so-called “refugee” invasion and the continued toleration of the INVASION of illegal aliens – particularly from Third World countries – constitute the “shock troops” of the globalist, oligarch “New World Ordure” cabal. The plan: destroy whatever hegemony the nations of the West still retain. Destroy their sovereignty. Cause as much strife, economic hardship, crime, mayhem and murder as possible.

When the situation gets bad enough the sheeple of the once-free nations of the West will beg their so-called “leaders” to “do something”. Then the NWO cabal will come out with their “solution”: WORLD GOVERNMENT. (Translated: enslavement of all who are not part of their cabal or the government drones that do their dirty work.)

What is it? I’d need to see what is specifically regulated first. Even in the USA, there are a few clear exemptions from the First Amendment. Some notable examples are:

1. Speech which is factually false. (Gertz v. Robert Welch)
2. Speech which is designed to incite imminent lawless action. (Brandenburg v. Ohio and Indiana v. Hess)
3. “Smut”. (Miller v. California)

How can you disagree with muslims without being accused of “hate speech”? Am I a hater when I disclose the “fact” that the average IQ of the 28 nations with a population of 90% or greater of Muslims is 80.5? Am I a hater when I repeat that science has proven that the incest practiced by the religion of Islam is the reason for that low IQ? Is repeating facts that are uncomfortable for Muslims a good reason for them to call for my death? That’s what happens to Pamela Geller every day!
