These protests have been carefully planned and coordinated — going well beyond spontaneous student expression.

A new report by US Republican lawmakers alleges the European Commission has orchestrated a "decade-long campaign" to censor political speech globally, including on American soil. The accusations, detailed in a 160-page interim staff report released Tuesday (3 February) by the House Judiciary Committee, claim that commission officials held over 100 "closed-door meetings" with social media platforms since 2020 "where regulators had the opportunity to pressure platforms to censor content more aggressively."

The European Commission's coercion of Big Tech to globally censor disfavored narratives goes much further than previously thought, according to a House Judiciary Committee interim staff report released Tuesday that tees up Wednesday's hearing featuring an Irish comedian who was arrested in London for criticizing gender ideology while visiting the U.S. "Nonpublic" documents given to the committee by companies under subpoena show more than 100 "closed-door meetings" between the European Union's executive arm and tech platforms since at least 2020, the year before the Biden administration started its spree of pressuring platforms to censor supposed misinformation, GOP committee staff said.

The Republican US House Judiciary Committee has published details of what it claims is a decade-long campaign by the European Commission to stifle online political speech, with barely-veiled threats used to stamp out memes, satire, and anything Brussels calls "disinformation." In a report published on Tuesday, the committee accused the EU of "directly infringing" on the free speech rights of Americans and Europeans alike by pressuring major social media platforms into censoring legal but "hateful" or otherwise problematic content.

Canada is reevaluating its planned purchase of U.S. F-35 fighter jets over the escalating trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa in what has become a flash point in bilateral relations between the two allies. Canada has committed to buying at least 16 F-35A Lightning II, a fifth-generation aircraft, produced by Lockheed Martin. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is weighing whether to buy another 72. A mix of domestic political pressure, rising costs and an increasingly contentious relationship with President Trump has prompted Carney's government to consider looking elsewhere for military hardware.

A fiscal storm is brewing in the Netherlands. With the potential introduction of a tax on unrealized capital gains, The Hague is set to become a testing ground for the systematic transfer of wealth from the private sector to the state. Across all government levels, the European Union is increasingly transforming into an aggressive parasitic system. A fundamental clash between the public and private sectors is intensifying across the EU. In March, both chambers of the Dutch parliament will decide on the implementation of an annual tax on unrealized gains. Going forward, all increases in value—from real estate and stocks to bonds and cryptocurrencies—would fall under this fiscal framework. This move significantly accelerates the extraction of capital from the private sector, constituting a political rule violation. Already taxed income and assets would be hit again based on hypothetical gains, severely impeding private wealth accumulation.
