🇬🇧📝: Was a British judge this quick to sentence a migrant/non-white for a murder or rape ever?

In the Rotherham child gang rape scandal, it took British courts in some cases, 35 years to identify, charge and convicts suspects for their crimes against British children.

🇬🇧🇪🇺🇫🇷 France and the EU set a precedent last year during a wave of race riots after the death of an Algerian criminal at the hands of French cops. | CIG #commentary

French politician and EU Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, pushed for and spearheaded the Digital Services Act (DSA), the EU's "groundbreaking" social media regulations. He argued at the time that social media was allowing migrants and French nationalists to organise and cause more trouble for France and the EU and actively threated social media companies with fines if they do not take down posts from their websites.

Breton even launched a probe into X (Twitter) for allowing "illegal content" and "misinformation" on its platform. In the end, the French government did indeed begin to heavily censor both Twitter and Snapchat, widely used by rioters and nationalists alike, which led to fewer videos and images coming from France but the return to the uneasy peace was credited by most observers and some police officers not to the efforts of the French authorities but to the migrants themselves who decided to stop rioting because their drug trafficking and selling operations were beginning to hurt and they were losing an important revenue stream.

The appetite of the EU for censorship is not satisfied. In May of 2024, the EU Commissioner for Values & Transparency was seething at the fact that Telegram is under the threshold of the DSA, because, Telegram, in the EU, has 42 million users while the DSA sets a limit of 45 million users for the app to fall under its dispositions. A month later, the EU received a massive blow to its draconian censorship plans when EU members couldn't agree how far this censorship should go and the plan was scrapped.

The UK being smaller in size than the EU means it has less leverage and power to censor social media and salvage its image and this state of affairs has sent its government into a frenzy, scrambling to punish anyone it can under every possible pretext as its credibility and trust in its institutions collapse with two tier policing becoming ever more clearer.

Germany too has been employing heavy censorship on social media for a few years already, which became very apparent with the "Auslander Raus" (Foreigners out!) music videos from last May-June and promised to prosecute anyone that was caught singing.

Now it seems it will become standard practice for countries in the Western world to shut down social media sites and prosecute those users that post "illegal content" in the name of "keeping communities safe" when, in reality, liberal politicians are making last ditch efforts to keep race relations manageable and friendly enough so that their multicultural societies don't collapse in full fledged civil war and anarchy.

The instability and violence seen rising across Europe will not end until every non-white individual is kicked out of this continent. Governments, politicians, judges, policemen, journalists will not step in to protect Europeans in their own countries so it remains up to the people to fight for their interests and lives.

☢️ 🇯🇵 🇮🇱 US, UK, France, Italy, Australia and Canada ambassadors boycott Nagasaki nuclear peace ceremony due to Israel being banned.

Nagasaki Mayor Shiro Suzuki had indicated his reluctance in June to invite Israel, noting the escalating conflict in the Middle East. He announced last week that Israel was not invited because of concern over “possible unforeseen situations” such as protests, sabotage or attacks on attendants. Nagasaki hoped to honor the atomic bomb victims “in a peaceful and solemn atmosphere,” he said.

🇺🇸 🇯🇵 🇮🇱 The US pivot to the Pacific has failed.

🔶️ There has been no Japan-based US aircraft carrier for 85 days, since the Ronald Reagan left Yokosuka on May 16.

🔶️ Less than two months after redirecting the USS Theodore Roosevelt from Asia to the Middle East, the U.S. has now ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln to follow suit.

🔶️ The USS Carl Vinson, which was in Hawaii for RIMPAC, is now headed back to the U.S. - East Asia is wide open.

📝 Sal Mercogliano: Just because a carrier is sailing, it does not mean it is ready. For example, while we have 11 carriers, we only have 9 carrier air wings.

🔶️ Nimitz (68) is decommissioning, Reagan (76) was sailing back from forward deployment in Japan with GW (73) coming around the Horn to replace her.

🔶️ IKE (69) and TR (71) were deployed; Vinson (70) was at RIMPAC and Lincoln (72) and Truman (75) were working up for deployment.

🔶️ Ford was commissioned in 2017 and did not do a full deployment until 2024. Kennedy started construction in 2015 and is slated to be completed in 2025, but no telling how soon until she is ready to deploy.

🔶️ Usually we only have a third available with the potential for another third. With 11 carriers, one is undergoing refueling, then the other 10 are split Atlantic/Pacific. Of the five, one deployed, with one able to surge, the other three are in process of shipyard, return or prepping.

🏹 🇱🇧 🇮🇱 Israel is suffering from a shortage of ammunition needed to repel an expected major attack from Iran and Hezbollah - Politico

🔶️ TOM KARAKO, the director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told NatSec Daily that the biggest vulnerability would be that Iran and its proxies “overwhelm a particular defense system at a particular place and a particular time,” given Israel’s depleted stocks.

🔶️ “It’s inventory capacity of Iron Domes. There’s not enough Iron Domes in the world to deal with 100,000 rockets, and that’s not the fault of Iron Dome or any other system. It’s just basic arithmetic,” he said.

📝 Megatron: It appears that Hezbollah has been firing cheap rockets for months and has depleted Israel's stockpile of Iron Dome ammunition.
