As EU narratives collapse, desparate leaders are planning more tyrannical measures to keep it all from sinking.
Censorship of scientific debate…
Currently, EU leaders are fuming that US officials would be so audacious as to accuse them of practicing censorship. Yet, when it comes to suppressing open discussions and differing viewpoints on major issues, things are in fact worse than most people think. And, it’s about to get even worse.
Image created by Grok
A recent (indirectly EU-funded) report released earlier this year shows how the EU is planning to broaden censorship to include the topics of climate and energy science.
In the “Harmful Environmental Agendas and Tactics” (HEAT) report, published by EU DisinfoLab and Logically, its authors investigate how climate-related misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation (MDM) are strategically used to undermine climate policy in Europe, specifically in Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
Climate science skeptics threaten democracy
The report argues that climate disinformation has moved beyond simple science denial and has become a tool for broader political and social polarization.
Outright denial of climate change, the authors claim, is being replaced by narratives focused on “climate delay.” These often acknowledge climate change but attack the feasibility, cost, and fairness of solutions, e.g., they claim green policies will bankrupt households or destroy industries.
The enemies
The report identifies four main pillars driving these agendas:
- The Conspiracy Milieu: Distrust of elites and “deep state” narratives (e.g., the “Great Reset”).
- Culture War/Partisan Discourse: Framing climate action as an authoritarian or elitist project.
- Hostile State Actors (HSAs): Significant involvement of Russian-linked networks (e.g., Portal Kombat) that use localized domains like Pravda DE to amplify divisive climate content.
- Big Oil Alignment: Narratives that align with fossil fuel interests, even if direct corporate attribution is often obscured.
In Germany, for example, there are attacks on the Energiewende (energy transition) and the Building Heating Act.
In France, there are links between climate policy and the “Yellow Vest” movement or anti-elitist sentiments.
Meanwhile, the “nitrogen crisis” has been reframed as “government land theft” in the Netherlands.

European leaders are convinced that their policies have nothing to do with all the failure going on. In their eyes, it’s all the fault of unruly citizens and their disinfoarmtion campaigns.
The report’s key recommendations
The authors call for decisive institutional and platform-level action to treat climate disinformation as a structural threat and a danger to democracy. This all needs to stop!
Platforms must act!
The primary recommendation is for the EU to explicitly recognize climate disinformation as a systemic risk under the Digital Services Act (a.k.a. by critics the Digital Censorship Act). This would force so-called Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) to take proactive measures and conduct risk assessments.
The authors also call for mandating algorithm audits and public reporting on content moderation, specifically for climate content. It’s time to crack down on skeptics, they say.
“Independent” auditors
Moreover “independent researchers” are to be provided with access to disaggregated platform data to track how these narratives spread.
Another recommendation is calling for the labelling and limiting the reach of “ideological or sponsored” climate disinformation.
“Trusted flaggers”
The authors also are calling for greater monitoring of Russian-aligned and other hostile state operations that exploit climate debates to weaken EU democratic resilience.
Another step suggested to counter “climate disinformation” is the establishment of reporting channels for civil society organizations (so-called “trusted flaggers”) to flag coordinated inauthentic behavior (CIB) and harmful narratives to regulators.
“Prebunking”
Also “prebunking” campaigns aimed at proactively educating the public on disinformation tactics before they are exposed to them—especially in lower-educated rural and working-class areas that are frequently targeted.
Happy New Year!

Trofim Lysenko lives! And is currently residing in Brussels.
Bertolt Brecht a communist himself wrote a poem in 1953 at the time of the uprising against the then East German Communist Government which could be recycled today:
After the uprising of the 17th of June
The Secretary of the Writers’ Union
Had leaflets distributed on the Stalinallee
Which stated that the people
Had squandered the confidence of the government
And could only win it back
By redoubled work. Would it not in that case
Be simpler for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
Maybe it loses something in translation…
Yes, that was later. Written, given to his friends, with instructions not to release until after his death. But what about the letter to Ulbricht about those same uprisings, written on the day of them? What about his remarks on the Soviet show trials? His appearance before HUAC, as a friendly witness?
He is for some reason an idol of the liberal left, but he did not have clean hands. At heart a collaborator, playing both sides against the middle in whichever jurisdiction he happened to find himself. Go along to get along. Even the Guardian could see it, finally.

Many moons ago, my small town upstate NY church group sent a bunch of us kids on a bus trip to Boston (Roxbury), where we were ‘treated’ to a performance of ‘Brecht on Brecht’. Needless to say, being a small town yokel, the gist of the performance, besides the fact that it was extremely boring, was way over my head, but as your’ comment reminds me, the Left has been hacking away at our country’s institutions for many decades.
Well, at least EU can stop worrying about a Russian takeover as EU is turning itself into a totalitarian state.
The EU, just like the UN, was created for a totalitarian purpose.
And to justify and legalize the tyranny the global warming scam was created.
It is, besides CBDC’s, at the very center of a global tax, deindustrialization and total control of economies by telling countries(and citizens) how much co2 they can release.
It is no coincidence that we see a massive rise in regime changes, conflicts, pandemic, mass invasion, governments turning on their own citizens and preparing them for wars,
the closer we get to (Agenda) 2030.
…ably assisted and funded by….Russia!
All Russia has to do is sit back and watch, maybe a nudge here and there to stoke confusion. The West is the architect of its own demise.
By way of evidence to back that up, here is an article that addresses the wider application of EU censorship.
Soviet Europe? Trump BANS Euro Officials From U.S. in Free-speech War – The New American
Trump and free speech? He’s just protecting his rich friends from any kind of responsibility
Trump’s aggressive actions against free speech speak a lot louder than his words defending it
“Trump issued the “Executive Order Restoring Free Speech and Ending Federal Censorship””
Trumps all about free speech…
He has only taken action to restore free speech…
You do know that removing Federal funding from far-left propaganda organisations.. is NOT an attack on free speech, don’t you.
CONversation is not a good source of reality.
Chuckle. If ever a propaganda piece was written, your comical offering certainly fits the bill. Free speech does not extend to fraud and malfeasance, nor to radical foreign organizers who themselves seek to silence and intimidate Americans.
Trump is no icon of virtue, but compared to his immediate predecessor, the TDS mob, and the European censorship regime, he is a champion of Freedom.
Do tell what responsibility he is protecting anyone from by calling out purveyors of deceit and oppression.
Written by a “professor of justice and community studies”. In other words a statist appartchik. GTFO.
Right now Russia can hardly afford potatoes for its public as its economy is being shattered.
And why would the EU be worried about Russian climate disinformation?
The EU is doing exactly what the Russians want them to do which is to continue bankrupting their Nations over the Net Zero insanity.
Europe is rapidly moving toward irrelevance. Its de-industrialisation is in full swing as Russia shuts off its gas supply.
It is creaking toward becoming a minnow in the global economy. Dilapidated and outdated industries no longer competitive in world markets.
So who cares how they censor their citizens. Just don’t try to censor other nations. Australia, like China do a good job of that without help. USA is the only guiding beacon for freedom of expression.
I see you have no experience of Europe whatsoever…
I see you have no knowledge of the EU’s declining share of world trade (from nearly 30 % in 1980 to 15% today).
Yes, the EU has declined relative to the total share of world trade. So has the USA.
The reason being that Asia is rising. China was nowhere in 1980. It’s a lot bigger now.

The reason that Europe is doing better than the the USA, China or Russia is that Europe defends Freedom of Speech while the totalitarian (or totalitarian wannabe) states defend Freedom of Content.
What’s the difference between Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Content?
Freedom of Speech prioritises the ability to speak truths regardless of whether it’s hard for the powerful to hear.
Freedom of Content prioritises the ability to speak volumes regardless of whether it’s true or not.
Freedom of Content is obviously preferred by the powerful as it is meaningless and weak. It matters not what is said if it’s swamped by multitudes of lies.
The evidence for this weakness can be seen in this very thread. You were aware of the relative decline of Europe, but not of the USA. This is despite your President campaigning on the decline of the USA (MAGA would not make sense if the USA was still Great).
Freedom of Speech may not let you know the truth, but it does let you know that you don’t know the truth.
Freedom of Content leaves you with the impression that you have been informed, when you haven’t been.
That was very…contentful!
So how do you discern ‘speech’ from ‘content?’ On what basis? Credentials? accordance with the official narrative? Having the correct political beliefs? Some other ersatz mark of infallibility?
Truth must be found through discussion and argument! This is an iterative process, where theories are elaborated, their implications drawn out, and error identified and eliminated.
This is a good reply. It is logical for a private conversation or even a well-controlled formal debate.
The failing is that it assumes a linear process.
Idea A challenges Idea B which defends, moderating A which refines its point, moderating A and so on. Iteratively, as you say.
This is the dialectic that has been the bedrock of western thought since Socrates and has been based on material evidence since Marx. It works and so I see why you think it is relevant to public debate.
But it isn’t.
Because in public debate there is not just one thread being discussed. There are a thousand, a million or more, voices all talking at once. And the conversation does not moderate each other. It is swamped by parallel debates.
Qanon did not win believers though reasoned argument. Nor did global warming.
Volume does not just mean one voice, but louder – it means more. The internet is largely bots amplifying the latest buzz. None of this is an iterative search for truth.
In the end, you need to be able to make progress. That means, you need to be able to bank the gains we’ve made.
Freedom of Content devalues truth. It is inflationary, in truth terms.
Freedom of Speech requires institutional support. Try running an economy with no banks or agreed currency. That may seem to be objectionable to those who are not the banks.
But it is still preferable to the Anarchy of JD Vance.
Once again, people like you arrogate to yourselves the right to decide what is true and what is false. This is the very antithesis of real freedom of speech.
Who determines if the content is true or acceptable?
Freedom of Speech requires institutional support – Ah, I see. So, the Government?
but also
Freedom of Content is obviously preferred by the powerful
Who would be the people who control the institutions.
Concerning Freedom of Content, who are you to decide what is true and what is false?
Maybe you should have a word with EU Commissioner Mario Draghi, who has warned that the EU is falling further and further behind the rest of the World in innovation and competitiveness.
in your dreams!
Ever heard of ARM??
Invented in the UK, it’s in just about every device you can hold in your hand, and Mr Torvalds what nationality he is??
“Torvalds commented: “I’m Finnish Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression?”
Oh and what about those nice aircraft from Toulouse which your home grown semi-bankrupt Boeing can’t compete with….
ARM Holdings market cap is currently $121 billion.
Alphabet (parent of Google) market cap $3.81 TRILLION.
I think the EU is too late. The fake CO2 crisis is being seen for what it is, a scam and an impossible dream. People are not going to shut up about this.
Trump is warning Europe in no uncertain terms about them imposing censorship on their own citizens or on Americans or American businesses.
Trump will oppose censorship vigorously.
The EU probably should not pick this fight.
Recall that talk Vance gave to the Europeans- they were shocked! They couldn’t believe some young American hillbilly would talk to them like that.
Did you notice all the academics fleeing Europe for the USA while he said it?
No.
They are fleeing the other way.
That talk of Vance was so hypocritical it astounded the whole world.
Fake academics in fake subjects are fleeing to a more congenial climate where nobody is going to expose their totalitarian inclinations or the sheer idiocy of their ideologies.
They were shocked that the US really gave “tHeY aRe eaTinG thE DoGs” guy a second term.
“The bar was so low it was practically a tripping hazard in Hell, yet here they are, limbo dancing with the devil.”
For Biden, a “tripping hazard” was flat floor… or among the shrubbery. !
Did you know that Trump won the last election in every aspect. 🙂
Europeans are so far around the “S” bend, that Americans don’t give a stuff about what they think.

Military Deployments Against Protests, Attacks on Constitutional Freedoms Keep USA on Human Rights Watchlist
Incernation?
Sorry, *incarceration
It should be incineration for hard core criminals instead of baby sitting those few who get caught at our expense.
Who puts together those rankings? The UN has never been a friend of freedom, and has no tolerance for those who don’t go along with their socialist goals.
According to whom, and compared to whom? Sounds like UN propaganda.
Press Freedom.. yep.. press is mostly controlled by the far-left… any message outside their message is stomped on.
Academic.. again.. universities are strongly controlled by the far-left. No freedom outside their agenda is allowed. Sacking, lack of grants etc are what keeps them in line.
Human freedom… US citizens are free.. Illegal Immigrants.. should be rounded up and removed.
Expression.. again, has been very much under far-left agenda control.. you get “cancelled” if you don’t agree, or say something you shouldn’t say.
They only deploy military when the far-left protestors descend into manic violence, which is what the far-left protestors have a high propensity to do.
So, what is the highest rated? China? North Korea? Britain?
Good one! 🙂
No one with a working brain cell takes a group like “Civicus” seriously so GTFO.
All of the EU is going the way Italy has gone for a generation- turning itself into essentially a museum for wealthy tourists. At least Italy has a vast amount of neat stuff to look at.
I have to assume you don’t live in Europe?
Are you really that jealous of our standard of living and our top class food??
Hmmm. Conspiracies? The Great Reset isn’t a conspiracy, at least nothing about it is hidden. It’s out there right in front. I don’t see why we shouldn’t distrust these elites who quite blatantly think that they know what’s bestbfor us.
Well, every single ‘solution’ to this perceived ‘problem’ involves some authoritarian or elitist project. Most of them involve more government control, and specifically more taxation. It’s extremely obvious when you look at these with even a slight amount of scepticism. Only if you are utterly blind to it, or are unable to use critical thinking, could you not see this.
Russian collusion? Give me a break! You’re scraping the barrel here.
And finally you bring in your own wild conspiracy theories. ‘Big Oil’ is extracting fossil fuels for fun, and coercing you into buying the products produced with them instead of letting you have all that free renewable energy! Ask Nick!
And there goes your credibility, as valid as old Nick’s….
The most important one is missing, because the authors are psychologically incapable of contemplating the possibility, namely knowledgeable people who know what they are talking about.
Yeah! The authors may be the stupid ones. Have they thought about that? I’ll bet they haven’t.
True believers know they are right, all the time. If you doubt this, try arguing with one on some settled topic, like gravity, or a spherical earth, or space as a vacuum. I have a cousin so inclined–as a true believer–and he cannot be reasoned with.
The Great Reset absolutely is a CONSPIRACY .
You don’t get a bigger conspiracy than a global economic reset .
But you are right, it is absolutely not hidden,
as the main front puppet, Klaus Schwab, released a book titled ” The great Reset. ”
– just a few weeks after Covid kicked in.
(one may wonder how an 80year old was able to research,write,redact,proofread,factcheck etc,etc?It seems he started this alongside EVENT 201)
Just as with the Ukrainian war(Overextending and Unbalancing Russia(with a war in Ukraine)- RAND 2019) there are conformations straight from the horse’s mouth.
No theory – but a fact.
Actually there is one bigger conspiracy,
and the great reset is essential part of it, but for this conspiracy we need to look past the Bilderbergers,CFR,WEF and read texts and plans from a 100years+ ago that are now being executed – and 95% haven’t done that, therefore we need to wait a few more years for it to unfold and to seriously entertain the idea of a kind of real Bene Gesserit( a male one in this case)
’You will own nothing and you will be happy”.
This slogan was (briefly) on the WEF’s website.a few years ago, along with a horrifying vision of a future bereft of private property and individual freedom.
There are certainly a lot of like-minded authoritarians on the Radical Left spectrum.
Maybe they are conspiring and maybe not. I could not say. But I do believe there is some conspiring going on between some people, although to what extent, again, I can’t say.
I do think it does not require a formal conspiracy for like-minded people to take the same actions, which could appear to be a conspiracy when it is not.
Can’t go much further without more details.
This ain’t no accurate science, therefore we need to look at the quantity of inconsistencies and red flags.
Even like-minded people will only go a certain way together for so long before they break apart.
These people, no matter left or right go all the way with total synchronicity with every every topic that is being introduced,even things that did never exist in history before (pronouns, men in womens sports, not knowing whst a woman is).
Whatever is being created/pushed, almost always in the USA,
from green new deals, to wars, to rainbows,climateBS, open borders, contempt for own culture and citizens,lockdowns, forced vaccines –
everything is being adapted and pushed with zealotry.
This has never existed in history because it can not.
It existed to a certain degree with US wars, because, well, Europeans are lapdogs of the US.
But to such an extent as we see it now?
And we are talking about real crazy stuff that can easily be debunked.
Yet everyone goes along with it – and we are talking about top politicians with top advisors
.
If you think this is possible and just an incredible coincidence – OK.
I think – globalism does not happen by coincidence but by design and it needs a high level of control.
Yes, the report is classic propaganda. Everyone who dissents from or even questions the agenda is declared the enemy.
The last one, for instance, generalizes narratives that align with fossil fuel interests. That would include any honest cost/benefit analysis, since all aspects of human existence have, on balance, been enhanced by high-density energy sources in general and fossil fuels specifically. Since totalitarian regimes require essential privation of the subject class, general prosperity and anything that promotes it must be vilified.

So you want to create a climate change bubble shielded from any counter scientific evidence. A restricted information bubble sounds more like North Korea and leads to a few problems.
1) Mental pandemic of climate fear. If you only hear that climate is going to end the world people must be willing to sacrifice themselves for the climate God. Social media is not harming our children, covid lockdowns and climate fear did. Many children got mental issues as they were told to have no future due climate change.
2) Human isolation. What if people from outside the EU visit and talk about that there’s no climate emergency? Just as in North Korea people are shielded from the real outside world.
3) Are Europeans allowed to travel outside the EU? You take trains and boats to visit Vietnam and then you see happy people, enjoying cheap energy, great food and luxury while you live in the Middle Ages.
You see how impossible this is to enforce? Reality is kicking them right in the teeth, an utter failure they can’t admit. The group of there won’t be a EU by 2030 is growing.
The group of there won’t be a EU by 2030 is growing.
Its an interesting argument. People underestimate the power of the European project in a reasonably stable world. Absent fairly dramatic events the EU will remain, its institutions, including the Euro, have such obvious advantages for business.
But one can imagine scenarios which lead to collapse, and they are certainly possible, though its very hard to say how likely they are. One would be a conflagration from the Ukraine war. Another might be the local rise of the far-right focused on issues like immigration and cost of living – to which the energy policies are contributing.
The Brussels structure is essentially a burocratic state with rule by decree, running on the principles of Bismark – social welfare, tariff barriers, oligopolist market regulation and a Potemkin Parliament. Bismark’d model was the customs union paying off both the farming and manufacturing interests (the alliance of corn and steel), while keeping the working class quiet with welfare.
Such arrangements can survive a long time with a lot of popular discontent and radical divergencies between public and governing elite. But they are liable to collapse in the face of external events or an unstable environment. One can see some scenarios that might lead to it – a rise of the local authoritarian far right in response to immigration and an economic or fiscal crisis. Climate and energy policies might contribute to that. Le Pen and AfD in power and enacting draconian measures, perhaps. The Ukraine war extending to a Euope wide conflagration. Possible.
But the real basis for thinking survival is the most likely option even in such circumstances is that Brussels is useful. Its very alienation and lack of democratic accountability makes it more, not less useful. Any radical group, inside or external, will find it too useful to dissolve – if anything the natural move will be to make it more authoritarian and more powerful.
Its very hard to see Europe going back to the old world of francs (two or three kinds!), guilders, marks, pesetas, liras… drachmas…, all with their own central banks, product regulation and customs posts.
The prediction would be, it will survive. It may change, but it won’t disintegrate, and it won’t change in the direction of greater democracy or lower power for Brussels. The most likely outcome, barring external catastrophe, is more and more fudging. So the gradual abandonment of net zero, while keeping it going in name, stuff like that, which we have seen for the last 50 years.
And even given catastrophe, Brussels will be too useful to the new owners to give up.
What the Europe considers “far right” would be middle of the road in most of the rest of the world. Europe has drifted so far to the left, that traditional socialists are now considered conservative.
This kind of arrangement seems to be so stable, even natural & thus inevitable — Live & Let Live, no? — until suddenly it’s not:

Can anyone give me a link to any of these dreaded Russian disinformation sites
What is funny is that the no nukes movement in the 90s (and European Greens) were in part funded clandestinely by the Soviets/Russians. Now Vlad is watching them cut off their own legs at the knees all by themselves. The Brussels crowd fails to realize they could all end up at the end of ropes ala Mussolini when their machinations cause standards of living to collapse. And the last twenty years of GDP stagnation are just the warm up act.
The EU would probably tell you that you are reading one right now…
And the U.S. is in the NATO Alliance to defend nations that are doing (or who might be planning to do) this?
To me, this smacks of bureaucrats in Europe trying to save face with their commitment to CAGW and renewables while Trump is dumping the Paris Accord and abandoning renewables in the U.S. On these issues, Europe and the U.S. could not be much farther apart.
Trump has hinted in the past that he is not a huge fan of the U.S. membership in NATO. With that said, Europe would be wise to be careful about what it is doing on the human rights front. I believe I recall JD Vance warning Europe (or was it the U.K.?) once already.

They will probably consider the POTUS decision to take the US out of NATO on April 1, 2026 also as a joke.
As far as we are concerned, the US is no longer in NATO.already.
They already did.
They cancelled NATO’s Swiss General Staff Officer Jacques Baud, closed his bank accounts and made it impossible for him to return to his home country for spreading ” Russian Propaganda “.
– despite the fact that Jacques Baud was in Ukraine as expert observer and only ever used western sources for his claims.
Somehow a single and widely unknown EU institution was able to execute this with no trial or whatever.
The BBC has operated such censorship since the early 2000,s. Official staff policy to say nothing positive on the subject.
January 26th 2006 is the commonly cited date. But for that meeting to have been convened there must have been considerable consensus already.
I’d say we’ve had a quarter of a century of it—a generation. That’s going to take some unpicking..
Same with the ABC in Australia.
Censorship by omission, only report the “approved narrative” line on matters / events where socialist-leaning interests can be favored.
It’s become more blatant as “the narrative” seems more and more like a Keystone Cops production, and discerning consumers of information first at quietly move away, then rush for the digital exits from the ABC.
The pdf has the weasel words that the content is the sole responsibility of the authors.
Yet nowhere any author is named.
Maybe the report was written by AI.

What did the chick with cinnamon buns on her head say? Oh, yea, something like “The more you tighten your grip the more slips through your fingers”. Yea, silence people, that always works.
The left continues to use Orwell’s 1984 as a roadmap, rather than the warning he intended it to be.
Someone needs to tell them that 1984 wasn’t meant to be a User’s Manual.
I need to type faster.
This is all part of the continuous process of “rewriting the dictionary”, leaving anyone simply asking a question in a “defensive” posture as they try to work out what any specific word or phrase “means” today.

Differences of opinion : What reasonable people used to be able to try and resolve using respectful discussion and debate
Mis-information : Honest mistakes, errors or inaccuracies
Dis-information : Deliberate lies
Mal-information (1) : Information which is factually accurate, but which is also an inconvenient truth for the custodians of the approved narratives (/ doctrines / orthodoxies)
Mal-information (2) : Thinking that deviates from mine (/ ours)
“when it comes to suppressing open discussions and differing viewpoints on major issues, things are in fact worse than most people think.”
It’s so bad here in Wokeachusetts, they don’t even have to suppress it because there are only a few people in the entire state willing to challenge the climate crisis dogma. If anyone does speak up about it- they’re simply ignored. If you look at the MSM here, you’ll hardly know that Trump is in the White House – and that he’s working hard to kill this climate cult.
Heck, let the EU and the UK go down the toilet of climate BS. One more potential competitor to America’s economy that will fail. Trump tried to warn them but I’m sure they’re ignoring everything he says, especially about the climate BS.
“Also “prebunking” campaigns aimed at

What can I say? You accept crappy dishonest government you are going to get screwed. This has nothing to do with climate or science it is purely political, more power and control.
Free speech:
My family ran me off FaceBook.
I deleted my LinkedIn account after the “fact checkers” suspended my account for three weeks. CDC was not a valid source.
YouTube (Google) straight out told me they terminated my account for my Covid 19 and climate comments & my appeal was rejected.
I quit X and SubStack fed up with the unrestrained bots and trolls.
MSN’s algorithm blocks comments at random & without appeal.
Years ago USA Today & Disqus placed a permanent ban on my E-mail address.
I sense that AOL has labeled my Email as spam so anything I send goes straight into the recipient’s spam folder where they never see it.
I’m back to snail mail trusting that USPS does not intercept and trash it.
So much for free speech.
