Ultimately, the world is full of fast-paced offers enticing us to “take action” and “sprint to success.” However, there’s a gentle pace set by the Holy Spirit, a pace that invites us into sweet communion with Him.

Ten French citizens will go to JAIL for making comments on First Lady Brigitte Macron’s gender. The court found these people guilty of cyberbulling Macron by claiming that she is a man. This ruling does NOT mean that she has proven that she is a woman. She still has not. The court ruled on harassment, not evidence. Macron did not “prove” anything beyond persuading a court that the speech caused harm under French law. That is precisely why this case is chilling. The French president and his wife used criminal law to punish their own constituents for speech about a public figure. In a society that claims to value free expression, that should alarm everyone. Article 11 of the EU Charter guarantees freedom of expression, yet there has been no meaningful condemnation from the European Union of a ruling that criminalizes speech about those in power. In a free society, people are allowed to question what their own eyes tell them, whether they are right or wrong. Courts are not meant to arbitrate truth through punishment, and governments are not meant to be insulated from speech by force of law. This case confirms that in France, speech about the government and its figures can now trigger criminal penalties, not merely civil liability. If you cannot offend the government, you do not live in a free society. The post This Is Chilling, France! appeared first on Redacted.

NATO leaders are pretty nervous about President Trump’s let’s-take-Greenland talk. Why? Because it would pull European countries into a land conflict with themselves. Greenland is a territory of Denmark, which is also a NATO country. If the U.S. waged war on Denmark, the snake would eat itself. NATO pretends that it is only a defensive organization but, lol. It’s first operation under President Clinton was an unprovoked bloodbath. Usually NATO can hide behind some made up pretense for its many wars but there would be no such cover for taking Greenland. You can’t claim self-defense while attacking your own members. Why is President Trump ruffling feathers about Greenland anyway? We’ve been warning you since 2023! It’s all about the arctic trade route. And where would that leave NATO? Would it fight for it’s U.S. paymasters or piddly little Denmark? Strip away the mythology, and what’s left is an alliance that only works as long as its internal contradictions are never tested. Greenland would test all of them at once.
