CONSERVATIVES ALIGN: European MPs From the ‘Patriots for Europe’ Group Nominate Elon Musk for ‘Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought’
September 26, 2024

The conservative forces in the world are waging an uphill battle against the liberal and socialist apparatus that has captured nearly all Mainstream Media, most Social Media platforms as well as transnational entities like the detestable United Nations and European Union.

This year, the EU elections showed how the political pendulum is swinging to the right, since the European populations are fed up with the failed, crippling policies imposed by the increasingly unpopular Globalist leaders.

One of the groups that is fighting against this planetary cancer is the Patriots for Europe, an influential group that gathers MEPs from parties like the Freedom Party of Austria, Belgium’s Flemish Interest, the Czech Přísaha Civic Movement, Marine Le Pen’s French Rassemblement National, the Greek Voice of Reason, Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz, Mateo Salvini’s Italian League, Dutch Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom PVV, as well as Portugal’s Chega and Spanish Vox.

And now all the 84 Patriots for Europe MEPs agreed to nominate free-speech champion Elon Musk for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.

Hungary Today reported:

“The Patriots for Europe (PfE) group nominates Elon Musk for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, writes Index. ‘His commitment to freedom of speech, transparency and the fight against censorship is in line with the values ​​of freedom and human rights’, reads a message published on X by the political group.”

András László, a Hungarian Fidesz MEP, stated in a post on X that the group is nominating Elon Musk for the prize because ‘the X social network defends freedom of speech in a unique way’.

“’People want more freedom of speech, not less!’ stated the politician, adding that X’s role in defending freedom of speech is unique and all social media platforms should strive for it. However, most people would instead opt for censorship, either ‘willingly or due to government bullying’.”

He said that the ‘Community notes’ on X shows the way forward regarding transparent measures for accurate information.

“Awarded for the first time in 1988 to Nelson Mandela and Anatoli Marčenko, the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought is the highest tribute paid by the European Union to human rights work. It gives recognition to individuals, groups and organizations that have made an outstanding contribution to protecting freedom of thought.”

The prize support and empower laureates in their efforts to defend their causes, notes the website of the European Parliament.

“The prize has so far been awarded to dissidents, political leaders, journalists, lawyers, civil-society activists, writers, mothers, wives, minority leaders, an anti-terrorist group, peace activists, an anti-torture activist, a cartoonist, long-serving prisoners of conscience, a film-maker, the UN as a body and even a child campaigning for the right to education. It promotes in particular freedom of expression, the rights of minorities, respect for international law, the development of democracy and the implementation of the rule of law.”

The Sakharov Prize has a EUR 50,000 endowment and the winner (or winners) is chosen in a plenary sitting in Strasbourg towards the end of each year.

They are chosen by the ‘Conference of Presidents’, a European Parliament body led by the president (presently Hungary’s Viktor Orbán), and including the leaders of all the political groups represented in the Parliament.

Since Musk took over the leadership of Twitter in 2022, he stated that he wanted to ‘give more space to freedom of expression’.

“As Hungary Today also reported, the European Commission tried to blackmail X and censor certain political opinions, accusing the platform of violating the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) regulation in mid-July. Elon Musk, the owner of the social media site, responded by saying that the Commission had offered him an illegal secret deal in which it would have waived penalties in return for censoring the content posted on the platform. Musk explained that other platforms had accepted the offer, but X had not.”

Biden delivers remarks on gun violence

Joe Biden on Thursday delivered remarks on ‘gun violence in America.’

Biden began screaming out of nowhere as he launched an attack on the Second Amendment.

“Never was the Second Amendment meant to be absolute! Back when it was passed, you could not own a cannon! No, I’m not joking!” Biden shouted.

“It was never absolute! Never! Never! Never!” Biden shouted.

Biden is completely shot. Kamala Harris covered up Biden’s cognitive decline.

WATCH:

The cannon argument has been repeatedly debunked.

According to historians, there is not one example of a law banning private ownership of cannons.

Biden got four Pinocchio’s by Washington Post fact-checkers for his lie about cannon ownership.

Joe Biden has made similar remarks in the past.

Joe Biden previously said of the Second Amendment while he announced executive actions on gun control: “No Amendment is absolute.”

The Tim Walz administration is tapping in to the roots of the Democrat party and bringing back racial segregation.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Democrats rail against segregation, except when they are embracing it at the expense of Whites and heterosexuals.

Kamala Harris’s running mate, Democrat Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz’s administration, has held multiple segregated events.

In the latest example, Minnesota State Library Services, which is part of Walz’s administration, will hold an event in October exclusively for black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) librarians.

The Walz administration describes the event, which will take place in October, as “a day of professional development and network-building designed specifically for BIPOC library workers of Minnesota,” according to a registration page. Minnesota will use public funds to cover hotel lodging, meals and other fees for those attending the program, state documents show.

A sign-up form for the event allows those seeking to attend the program to select from an assortment of races and sexualities to describe themselves but “heterosexual” and “white” are notably missing from the options available.

In 2022, Walz’s Department of Education held restorative justice “trainings and sessions” for educators where participants were explicitly divided by race.

Old habits really do die hard. The left’s form of combating racist is just to get more and more racist.

DEVELOPING: NY Appellate Judges Skeptical of Letitia James’ Civil Fraud Case Against Trump, Blast Her Deputy Solicitor General During Opening Statement

DEVELOPING: NY Appellate Judges Skeptical of Letitia James’ Civil Fraud Case Against Trump, Blast Her Deputy Solicitor General During Opening Statement
September 26, 2024

New York appellate judges on Thursday appeared skeptical of Letitia James’s NYC civil fraud case against President Trump.

Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James previously sought $370 million in ‘damages’ when there was no victim in a civil fraud case against Trump. She also sought to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York. She accused Trump of inflating his assets and defrauding lenders and insurance companies.

In February, after 11 weeks of a Soviet-style non-jury trial, far-left Judge Engoron ordered Trump to pay more than a $355 million fine and barred Trump “from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years.”

The $355 million judgment PLUS daily interest swelled to $464 million.

Engoron claimed Trump and each of the defendants “participated in aiding and abetting the conspiracy to commit insurance fraud by their individual acts in falsifying business records and valuations, causing materially fraudulent SFCs to be intentionally submitted to insurance companies.”

Last November a Deutsche Bank executive who worked to approve at least one of Trump’s loans testified that it is “atypical, but not entirely unusual” to reduce a client’s asset values and still approve a loan.

This type of lending is typical in high net-worth, high-profile clients like Donald Trump. Anyone with basic knowledge of banking, lending, portfolio and credit risk management knows this.

Trump’s legal team previously filed an appeal and requested a stay on the massive $464 million judgment.

Trump’s attorneys sent a letter to the Appellate Division of New York’s Supreme Court and asserted Letitia James’ actions are “unconstitutional.”

“It would be completely illogical — and the definition of an unconstitutional Excessive Fine and a Taking — to require Defendants to sell properties at all, and especially in a ‘fire sale,’ in order to be able to appeal the lawless Supreme Court judgment, as that would cause harm that cannot be repaired once the Defendants do win, as is overwhelmingly likely, on appeal,” Trump’s attorney Cliff Robert wrote.

Two of the appellate judges interrupted Letitia James’s deputy solicitor general Judy Vale during her opening statement to ask her if there are any other examples of the state suing private business transactions where there was no victim.

“Every case that you cite involves damage to consumers, damage to the marketplace,” Justice David Friedman told Vale, according to Reuters.

“We don’t have anything like that here,” Friedman added, saying that nobody “lost any money.”

Reuters reported:

Members of the five-judge panel on the Appellate Division – the mid-level state appellate court hearing arguments in Trump’s appeal – appeared concerned about possible overreach by James.

Two of the judges interrupted Judith Vale, the lawyer arguing for New York, during her opening statement to ask if there were any other examples of the state suing over private business transactions between sophisticated parties under a law aimed at protecting market integrity.

“Every case that you cite involves damage to consumers, damage to the marketplace,” Justice David Friedman told Vale.
“We don’t have anything like that here,” Friedman added, saying that nobody “lost any money.”

The judges also wondered about what constraints applied to the law James cited in bringing the case – one that is typically used to go after fraudsters who target vulnerable consumers.

“How do we draw a line or at least put up guardrails? Justice Peter Moulton asked.
