France shows J.D. Vance right on censorship - shuts conservative TV channel | Eastern NC Now

In his Munich speech, Vice President J.D. Vance warned of a growing wave of political censorship and destruction of freedom of speech in Europe.  He gave numerous examples of that already happening across the continent.

Now France has doubled down on totalitarian censorship and proven that Vance was on the money on his denunciation of European political censorship.  france's government has shut down the conservative national TV channel C8, which has viewership of 9 million people effective at the end of February.  C8 is part of the media holdings of Catholic French billionaire Vincent Bollore and has been on the air for twenty years. A complaint from the left over one of C8's presenters calling abortion "a leading cause of death" had led the globalist French govenrment to put the station on probation several months ago, but there have apparently been no further complaints.  Nonetheless, the channel is being closed down.

Freedom is in full retreat in Europe from globalist totalitarianism.  America dodged a bullet because the globalist Biden regime was up to the same tricks here.

Last year, Germany had a similar incident where Social Democrat Interior Minister Nancy Fraeser sent dozens of heavily armed paramilitary police wearing ski masks to shut down a popular sovereigntist magazine while government friendly media filmed the act.  In that case, Germany's courts stood up for free speech and reversed Fraeser's totalitarian act, allowing the magazine to resume publishing.

A recent report from the European think tank Mathias Corvinus Collegium has revealed the shocking attack on free speech in the current German election by the German globalist establishment.  Modern Germany is reverting to the totalitarian instincts of the old communist East Germany or even the Third Reich.
