Pakistan Arrests Man for Disinformation on Behalf of the UK

The United Kingdom has threatened to extradite foreigners who dare to speak out on the migrant crisis. There does not need to be a crime, as spreading “disinformation” is considered a crime because the perpetrator may cause OTHERS to act violently. Unfortunately, foreign nation are now abiding by these disinformation laws.

Pakistan arrested a man for posting about the Southport murders on his Twitter/X account. He simply questioned why three young girls were stabbed to death by a man who many believe to be a Muslim migrant. The UK government is outraged that the public is questioning the coward’s immigration status rather than protecting other young girls from meeting the same fate. Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency said that internet user Farhan Asif is guilty of committing an international cybercrime for sharing his views online.

Censorship

“I don’t know how such a small article or a minor Twitter account could cause widespread confusion,” Asif said. Police raided his home and confiscated all of his electronics. Again, he questioned the murders in Southport while residing in a foreign nation. Yet, police are accusing him of creating “a sense of fear” and fueling riots in the UK. Pakistan went as far as claiming that Asif damaged his own nation’s reputation.

The United Kingdom opened the door to utter chaos as free speech is NOT permitted on the internet. We are talking about government agencies raiding homes over posts on social media. Asif himself is a Muslim man from a Muslim nation. He is thousands of miles away from the protests and has no apparent connection to the protestors. Yet he’s in legal trouble for allegedly promoting hate speech against his own people. It’s not hate speech but anti-government speech that these tyrants are concerned about silencing. People can cheer for Hamas, the destruction of Israel, and even protest on behalf of implementing Shira Law. But everyone who questions the government’s policy on open borders is now a criminal. How widespread will this become?

Pakistan is already looking to pass legislation to ban fake news or disinformation. Mocking someone on the internet will be a punishable offense. You cannot speak out against any government official or agency. Pakistan’s government already has a Twitter/X account where they expect citizens to tag them over any perceived malice online. You simply cannot speak out against the narrative anywhere. Of course, the Interior Ministry said the new crackdown on social media is in the “interest of upholding national security, maintaining public order, and preserving the integrity of our nation.” This is what EVERY government will say in regard to censorship attempts. They already control the radio, TV, and paper news, but they now must silence the people from sharing news among themselves. There is an outright war on information between the people and governments.

They Call it Biden’s Secret Internet Surveillance Court – But Really, It Seems Like a Filtering System

A revelatory article in Politico [SEE HERE] discusses a secret tribunal that Joe Biden has created to act as an arbiter in the space between the USA internet and the EU user privacy rules.  However, if you apply the Occam’s Razor perspective, you might discover the tribunal or secret court is really just an arbiter of content, a “filtering system”.

Those who do not pretend have long ago realized the systems deployed to control information and communication will always be the priority.  You cannot intentionally abuse a victim and yet allow them to have uncontrolled contact with family, the abuser needs to keep the victim isolated.  The same is true for government in their need to control information that might expose their purpose.

Recently European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said controlling information was the #1 priority of the WEF group for 2024.  That makes sense, when you consider that organized pushback would be counter to their agenda.

The western alliance of nations is collaboratively focused on definitions to help with their disinformation, misinformation and malinformation agenda.

Into this mix comes the European Union with rules and regulations on user data, a valuable commodity when enmeshed with commerce and the internet.  The USA does not have those same rules and regulations on user privacy, all our metadata is under surveillance by corporations and government, so an arbitration system is needed where an EU member, group or nation can demand the stoppage of an American company from retaining EU user data.

Joe Biden has assembled a tribunal or quasi-judicial court system for the purpose of having a destination for EU complaints and violations.  One of the people appointed to the tribunal review team is Eric Holder.

(Via Politico) – At an undetermined date, in an undisclosed location, the Biden administration began operating a secretive new court to protect Europeans’ privacy rights under U.S. law.

Officially known as the Data Protection Review Court, it was authorized in an October 2022 executive order to fix a collision of European and American law that had been blocking the lucrative flow of consumer data between American and European companies for three years.

The court’s eight judges were named last November, including former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Its existence has allowed companies to resume the lucrative transatlantic data trade with the blessing of EU officials.

The details get blurry after that.

The court’s location is a secret, and the Department of Justice will not say if it has taken a case yet, or when it will. Though the court has a clear mandate — ensuring Europeans their privacy rights under U.S. law — its decisions will also be kept a secret, from both the EU residents petitioning the court and the federal agencies tasked with following the law. Plaintiffs are not allowed to appear in person and are represented by a special advocate, appointed by the U.S. attorney general. (read more)

If you read the full article then pause and think about how the weaponization of government can benefit from the tribunal, the truest prism for finding out why something exists, you might realize the panel is essentially tasked with creating an isolation box for EU data, then guarding the gates and making determinations over who should have access to it.

Knowing how valuable data is in the world of e-commerce, the question becomes will the tribunal guard the data or exploit it.

I think we know the answer….

Keep in mind, walls are being built around the U.S. financial system to lock in the yellow zone.  Corporations now control most western governments. How does the control over EU user data interface with that agenda?

Discuss.
