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

Beyond dumb.
Comfortably Dumb…
Russians lose this internet race…
No one crosses the Finnish Line 🙂
Your comment made me laugh. Thank you!
It’s more likely that their new immigrant population rules over the EU ashes.

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.
Europeans en masse are submitting to muslims.A muslim communist is the mayor of NYC.
Sharia and blasphemy laws call the shots in the UK,EU.
Mosques are sprouting like mushrooms in the USA,EU,UK.
250000 white British girls were gang raped by pakistani muslims over decades.
White races are tripping over each other to appease Muslims.
The majority are letting it happen.
You can’t save people from themselves.
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.
The EU was created by the European monarchs, who still control the West, including the US, from behind the scenes.
It’s not complicated to understand. When the monarchs ruled overtly, they treated their subjects horribly.
All they’ve been trying to do for the past 250 years is to find a way to get back to feudalism, after the American, French, and Industrial revolutions knocked them down a few pegs, and gave the peasants a better life.
Onward Christian soldiers was just a catchy hook to get their subjects to fight wars for them. They could care less if the peasants they rule over are Christian or Muslim or anything else. As long as they’re powerless and satisfied with very little.
An extended family that ruled 3/4 of the world doesn’t give up their power so easily.
Communists, Nazis, Islamic terrorists, ANTIFA, etc, etc, are all just monarchal creations, designed to create division and throw us off their scent.
You forgot *national* identities. which may or may not survive.
By EU, Do you mean the individual countries in the EU collapsing?
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.

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%!
Thank you for the astute point. As a follower of Jesus the Christ, I see everything political through a spiritual lens. We ‘re doing battle with the unseen. The accuser would love to see the desolation of a world war. The God of 2 Chronicles 7:14 will heal the world or the end times of Matthew 24 are at hand.
Every so often I will make a request for a posting.
This is the every so often. Decades ago, a HUGE concert ( 70,000)
people was held in Finland.
The group? The Leningrad Cowboys? The backup singers?
The Red Russian Choir, who unfortunately all died in a tragic
plane crash years later.
Here’s where Finland was years ago, before the EU told them who to hate.
And my daughter did the link, so maybe I won’t have to be bothering
non boomers for requests.
Red Army Choir AKA Alexandrov Ensemble –
per Wikipedia regarding the tragic crash:
On 25 December 2016, its artistic director, Valery Khalilov, and 63 other members of the Ensemble were killed in the Russian Defence Ministry aircraft crash of a 1983 Tupolev Tu-154 into the Black Sea just after takeoff from the southern resort city of Sochi, Russia. The Red Army Choir singers and dancers were en route to Syria to entertain Russian troops there for Orthodox Christmas celebrations.
And Putin was devastated. As was much of Russia. The group was considered
a national treasure. If anybody like the “Delilah” Leningrad Cowboys video,
look up “Those were the days” with one of the Army Choir doing a solo
with the Leningrad Cowboys. The mutual regard just jumps out at you.
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.
–“Europe is less and less aligned with our core values of freedom.”–
I believe the same could be said about our own Congress and Government.
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.
Yes ma’am, exactly.
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.
Only 30% of Russia’s internet goes through Finland.
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.
And who do you think will fight that war? The European people haven’t been harmed by Russia so why would they fight? Just because Ukraine has centuries old border issues with Russia? I think not.
It is becoming more and more apparent with the statements and actions of Zelensky that him and his NAZI buddies are responsible for Ukraine’s troubles, and much of the world is well aware of that.
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.
Republicans blocked Trump 1 and Trump 2. God killed one of them as a warning. Warning 2 is McConnell.
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
A virtual wall or firewall rather is much easier to implement than a physical wall.
China already possesses a Great Firewall and uses it to great effect to control digital information within their domains.
Anytime data is transferred between networked devices there are opportunities to filter it. ISPs already do this, only difference is matter of degree.
I would expect authorities in Finland to crack down on VPNs in the near future as they can bypass restrictions to some extent
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.
As problematic as they are in their incompatibility with the west and Christianity, Islam and Muslims are being successfully used as pawns.
It’s a game of “Let’s you and him fight” while the provocateurs stand by and gleefully watch.
We failed to assert ourselves to the bully.
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.
Recall Russia used its own vaccine, Sputnik, which was a viral vector vaccine not mRNA.
None of them are good. None
The polls (north/south) are switching ends as we speak
EU scheming.
— what exactly is it the Europeans fear?
The Europeans themselves, no more or less than others.
The neo-feudalists? They fear the Europeans; us; the Russians; frankly anyone who might say something contrary to the narrative.
Russia and the West are having a role reversal from Cold War days, it appears. Never thought I’d see it
Is that cat a Russian Blue?
It very much is.
Extended family have had a couple of the breed over the years. Each of them I remember having unique personalities.
We can’t have views reaching the subjects of Western Europe, which are a variance with the West’s propaganda machine. After all, Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, because they are evil, m’kay? Don’t ask too many questions, comrade, or we will have a rat gnaw on your face!
DJT gets along with Putin, so by definition anything that DJT wants / likes / endorses it inherently bad, if not evil.
Why were citizens subject to forced vaccination and masking but not the political class and their enforcers is an even cheekier question.
Cutting cables will not cut off internet connections with Russia anymore than my phone company shutting down the cables for landlines will cut off my phone. There are cell towers everywhere and every company appears to be offering internet access using them, with VOIP. There is also satellite internet coming on fast so even though they announce what they think is happening, there are many other methods available that are good replacements.
I wonder why like Sundance says, what is their fear of Finnish/Western ideas flowing towards Russia? Wouldn’t that also be an outcome? Couldn’t this just be an economic technological change that some stupid globalist interprets as sticking it to Russia?
Yes I’m skeptical.
Russian doomsday plane arrived in Tehran on July 13th… Lavrov is supposedly visiting. I think rumors that Russia and China are helping Iran to be true.

I don’t think there is anything suspicious about Finland taking down the internet infrastructure since it says right in the article that it is not being paid for… Also, I seem to recall Russia was developing their own internet.
Oh, and also, the Telegram guy now has a target on his back from Russia…. he has been charged, by Russia, for aiding terrorism.
Still think Russia is “good”?
Better than Ukraine, China, and even India.
“Put up that wall!”
“Finland Plans to Build a New Iron Curtain and block Russian Internet Traffic”
And in a few short years people will be wanting to escape to Russia in search of freedom.
And the march of communism takes another step…
The EU is built on the Soviet model. What ELSE do you need to understand about it?
Did they ask Al Gore first?
