We have been warning for several years about the “new democratic norms” being established on a very totalitarian system of control; specifically, the control of information.
The need for control is a reaction to fear.
Finland is announcing that they will sever their international internet link that is connected to Russia, seemingly wanting to build a virtual wall between Russia and the ‘west’, or at least part of a virtual Iron Curtain they can control.
[SOURCE]
Four decades ago, the voice of freedom was heard saying, “tear down this wall.” Today, the modern version of European democracy is taking action akin to saying, “we must rebuild these walls.”
This is a very dangerous approach because a desire to stop discussion, a demand to stop the free flow of challenging ideas, an approach to silence – as opposed to winning the argument, is the exact opposite of freedom; it is the activity of totalitarian dictatorships.
We used to have Radio Free Europe in order to send ideas and information about the inherent value of freedom over the walls to what we called ‘oppressed’ people. Now, the baseline of modern western values is to do exactly the opposite, to block information that may come from the other side of the curtain.
Reasonably intelligent people might ask, what exactly is it the Europeans fear?
It looks like both JD Vance and Marco Rubio were correct in 2025 when they warned Europe what lay at the end of this censorship slope they are chasing. The era of ‘western values’ being understood by both Europeans and Americans has certainly come to an end.
I doubt very much that Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin is against the idea of having Europe sever the internet in an attempt to isolate the people of Russia. Every dictatorial step the ‘west’ makes from covid passports to vaccine mandates, to quarantine camps and beyond, only makes the Russian Federation look more open and freer by comparison.
There is a reason why the Russian COVID-19 vaccine uptake was one of the lowest in the world, and that reason stands as a stark contrast to the claims of the ‘west’. If Russia is such a control state, such a totalitarian state, then why didn’t the Russian people face forced masking or vaccination compliance?
Wait, that doesn’t make sense, right?….
Be careful comrades or you may find yourself asking the questions that all good compliant citizens are not supposed to ask.
EU = PU
The stench is growing, they want to all die and rule over the ashes.
yes!
They are still digging
Never learn
Evidently, they think they know everything already and have no knowledge to share.
Nothing coming in
Nothing going out

Comfortably Dumb…
Russians lose this internet race…
No one crosses the Finnish Line 🙂
Your comment made me laugh. Thank you!

So you rather give up then fight you’re just gonna give up America or have the Europeans to believe in freedom just give up the fight without taking it to them no thanks.
I am an old man and do not believe I will live to see it. I told my son if he reaches my age he will live to see the collapse of the EU unless there are massive reforms which are highly unlikely. All the steps to secure their countries from Russia is not going to stop the influx of illegals nor the problems these people are causing in their countries functioning from their ghettos. They fear Russia that has dumped Communism while at the same time are promoting Socialism and a Neo Marxism. This cannot end well.
The EU never should have been. It is the bastard child of European Fascists, Communists, Monarchists, Oligarchs and Technocrats. Many of its leaders are legacy offspring of actual Nazi’s, high-ranking at that. And Stasi. It is the manifestation of their dreams from a century ago.
It should never have been birthed. It should have been stillborn. But by Satanic intervention it was birthed and reared to grow into the demonic menace to mankind, God’s children, while Gods children got distracted by pretty words and toys. And as has long been said, the Devil’s biggest deception is making people believe he doesn’t exist. And believe that nor does God.
The US is not very far behind the EU. It is a blinking red neon “Warning!” sign for us to heed or not heed.
We saw its unchecked borders flooded by masses of violent, incompatible humanity ushered in over a decade before the same happened here. We saw the native population blamed for the crimes committed against them, the rapes, assaults and murders, “you shouldn’t have worn something so provocative or said mean things, you deserve what happened to you, and if you complain about it you will be charged and imprisoned.”
Already playing out in many US jurisdictions.
The EU collapsing is a GOOD thing. It should die. It MUST die. I will not mourn its passing. Nobody should. I will celebrate the rise of independent nation-states in Europe. The return of *national* borders, *national* currencies, *national* defenses.
I hope your son gets to see the rebirth of European nations with their unique historical cultures and societies. That built that imagined and spawned the best civilization the world has ever known. Before it spawned demons.
At about 1:15
Amen!
Only devious liars try to silence others.
I said it like 9 months ago, the people of the Eu might be better off living in Russia now. The people running the EU countries are lunatics.

It appears we are approaching, or have already arrived at, the season of war.
May our Lord truly Bless and Guide us all in diligence and open our ears, and hearts to the voice of thy Holy Spirit that our arms and feet take us to accomplish those tasks we are asked to do.
This is the same Finland that has decided that Paivi Rasanen, a Finnish MP and medical doctor, is guilty of the crime of publicly declaring the Christian view of marriage and holding that LGBTQ views were sinful. The biggest problem Finland faces is not Russia but internal moral degeneracy.
100%!
I don’t think they are doing this as a reaction to any type of fear.
in their Minds The globalist are insulated from actual harm .
They are doing it because they can .
It creates a new grift so they can drain whatever resources are dedicated to the new programs and procedures for as long as they can.
Once the people overcome the propaganda machine and wreck the fun times the next grift will be created so they can continue to steal the wealth of nations.
Rince and repeat over and over again.
The statement seems to suggest that the decision is based on maintenance costs. If that’s untrue and just a pretext, then fine, I agree with you, Sundance. But if it’s true, then there’s really nothing to see here. Finland severing its connection with Russia doesn’t mean Russia is cut off from the Internet. Worst case it just means higher latency for EU countries trying to communicate with Russia as the traffic flows through different links.
Europe is less and less aligned with our core values of freedom. We really need to distance ourselves before they take us down the drain with them.
The history of warfare is that a new offensive weapon is developed, which then requires an appropriate defensive response. That new, impregnible defense initiates development of a weapon appropriate to defeat that defense.
We are now in a world war using 5th Generation Warfare tactics. To further confuse the battleground, the participants in this war are both national, multi-national, and — maybe most powerfully — non-governmental.
Right now we (they) are acting like WW1 generals responding to a newly encountered battlefield of barbed wire and machine guns with tactics informed by cavalry sensibilities.
BUT… now add to that scenario that the participants and advisors within each country don’t necessarily share the same goals, loyalties, or definition of victory.
It’s not illogical to respond that we need better tin foil hats to defend against 5th Generation warfare tactics. And maybe that’s the one thing that holds true militarily: the true battle is against the WILL of the opponent to fight, to resist.
Frederick Douglass (1860 in Boston)
“Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first strike down. They know its power.
Thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, founded in injustice and wrong, are sure to tremble, if men are allowed to reason of righteousness, temperance, and of a judgment to come in their presence.”
The dying breaths of liberty are being suffocated and snuffed out.
The Neo Iron Curtain falls, and the Lights all over Europe are going out, one by one….again.
might be a dumb question, but how do they prevent Russians from accessing the internet?
I don’t believe it’s a dumb question but I suppose the same way they would do it for anyone they are trying to propagandize, gaslight and control through (lack) of information control and shut them off, e.g. DOS (denial of service). I’m undoubtedly oversimplifying but I don’t see why it’s not possible.
I believe the larger underlying motivation to demonize and make war against Russia, China, Iran, etc al is that they want to freely choose to use their own, new payment system that is not beholden to the owners of SWIFT, that is, the owners of the Federal Reserve banking system and the Bank of England. The owners of said banks are using every actor and agent they can to bring dissenters to their petrodollar system to heel. In light of this, it makes perfect sense to attempt to cripple Russias internet.
Russia, China, Iran and any other country have every right to tell the monopolist bankers to go pound sand. I hope they succeed.
War is coming.
War is always coming.
And the point of this omni-war (a war on all fronts in life) is to disorient the masses and make it easy to subdue them. This has always been its purpose.
I don’t give a shit about Europe and Russia when we have a corrupt government here in the homeland erecting a totalitarian surveillance state, right in front of our face. Soon to be followed by a totalitarian control state.
I am America First and Foremost.
Starlink…
The era of ‘western values’ being understood by both Europeans and Americans has certainly come to an end……currently.
Hello, you get internet directly from satellites to your home or business now
I was in Berlin in October 1990, less than a year after the wall fell in 1989. I have pieces of the wall that I personally chipped off of standing sections (did not buy from street vendor). My, how things have changed.
Off topic, worth a thought. Quote from Jim Caviezel. “ Freedom to do what you want, freedom to do what you ought.”

A bunch of evil lunatics are in control of Europe in our hemisphere here in America. They’re called Democrats or communist lite or what they really stand for for is satanic ideas.
Wow, we are living in challenging times.
These globalists are persistent.
Keep poking the bear…
There is a reason why(!) the First Amendment came first, and the Second Amendment came second. And, here it is.
In this nation, you HAVE a “Bill of Rights.” Flawed though it may be in its execution, it is precious that we have it at all. It now really stands out, very starkly, that European countries don’t.
Exactly. Which is why anti-human types want to silence dissenters and advocates of the 1A here in America. They’re trying to do an end-run. They know they can’t just take the guns so, take the 1A down first and the 2A will logically fall.
Good luck finny
Last I knew all internet traffic goes thru cable and satellites and you can’t build a “Wall”
And how can a country of just over 5 million afford to build anything or have financial resources to build ?
EU propaganda
History doesn’t repeat exactly … but it rhymes
Thank you Sundance right on the money as usual.
This is what is a puzzle.
For years the West advocated for the destruction of the Communist Soviet control of Eastern Europe.
Eventually the Berlin wall came down and the West rejoiced.
Russia was free and wished to integrate with the West.
Some years later we – in Britain – elected a Communist government, ie Stammer and now Burn- ham whose policies are determined to turn the East and West back to communist dictatorships.
Can some bright spark on here unpick this conundrum rapped up in an enigma.
Who is the “we” who elected Starmer? There’s the answer. Was it the British citizens, or the newcomer non-citizens?
Britain is no longer part of the “West.” It has already succumbed to the invaders and everyone knows who they are.
The USSR is dead and gone. The European boogeyman no longer exists.
The EU certainly can’t admit the true boogeyman stalks their streets, burns their churches, rapes your daughters and wantonly flaunts their depletion of your historical wealth.
Russia has no desire to attack your failed nations. Nothing left there but Islam and fear-paralyzed Europeans.
Europe wants their feudalism back.
Same as it ever was.
Pre-internet and before the fall of the USSR, I listened to Radio Moscow snd other communist government shortwave broadcasters. They were not jammed. But they always jammed Radio Free Europe and Voice of America broadcasts to their countries.
