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.

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.
Bureau 1440 has announced Rassvet has finished Technical Evaluation and is entering into Operational Evaluation.
Critics contend that the Rassvet satellite network will never compete with Starlink or be economically viable.
There may come a day when Europe is the top user of Rassvet over Russia.
Isolate adversaries (more powerful than you), prolong spill over wars using other nations’ monies, concentrate huge military forces in harms way, and pass antagonizing legislation … to what end? The road to war, an all engulfing war, is being paved by idiots. Idiots create the problem and then men fight to end it. This must be stopped. Hand out rifles to our stupid senators and congressmen, to the nitwits of Finland, to Zelensky, to Macron and his butt ugly wife, to Germany’s Merz and any other war monger and provide them transport to the front lines. Watch how fast the white flags will appear.
Stopping talking is what starts wars…….but that’s what they want.
There’s too much communicatin’ goin’ on there.
