Direct Government Censorship Of The Internet Is Here
Censorship of the Internet has been getting worse for years, but we just crossed a threshold which is going to take things to a whole new level.
On August 25th, a new law known as the “Digital Services Act” went into effect in the European Union. Under this new law, European bureaucrats will be able to order big tech companies to censor any content that is considered to be “illegal”, “disinformation” or “hate speech”. That includes content that is posted by users outside of the European Union, because someone that lives in the European Union might see it. I wrote about this a few days ago, but I don’t think that people are really understanding the implications of this new law. In the past, there have been times when governments have requested that big tech companies take down certain material, but now this new law will give government officials the power to force big tech companies to take down any content that they do not like.
Any big tech companies that choose not to comply will be hit with extremely harsh penalties.
Direct government censorship of the Internet is here, and that is going to make it much more difficult to share the truth with a world that desperately needs it.
These are such dark times, and they are getting darker with each passing day.

Russian warplanes sink speedboats with Ukrainian landing force – Moscow
The amphibious teams were reportedly headed for Crimea’s westernmost cape
Russian warplanes have prevented yet another landing attempt by Ukrainian forces, destroying four US-made military speedboats and their crews in the Black Sea west of the Crimean Peninsula, the Defense Ministry said on Monday morning.
Russian Black Sea Fleet naval aviation aircraft “destroyed four US-made Willard Sea Force high-speed military boats with landing groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the military said.
The landing force was reportedly heading towards Cape Tarkhankut, the westernmost part of the Crimean Peninsula, in yet another botched landing attempt, according to the ministry.
Last week, Russian forces foiled several alleged Ukrainian landing attempts. Early Wednesday morning, the Russian military reported sinking “four military speedboats carrying a landing force of Ukrainian special operatives, numbering up to 50 men” at an undisclosed location in the Black Sea.
Later in the day, a Russian Su-30 fighter jet had sunk a speedboat to the east of Snake Island, near the Ukrainian port of Odessa and close to Romanian territorial waters. A few hours later the same day, the ministry claimed the elimination of yet another Ukrainian motorboat by an Su-24 bomber west of the same island.
Last month, the Defense Ministry also published footage of what it said was a Russian fighter jet destroying a US-made speedboat carrying a Ukrainian amphibious team near Snake Island.

Biden DOD orders air-to-air missiles for Ukraine in new Raytheon contract
The Biden admin recently announced it would be sending Ukraine another $200 million.
On Thursday, the Department of Defense (DOD) revealed that it is planning to send Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) to Ukraine via a contract with Raytheon Missiles and Defence.
The initial reported purchase under the agreement is for $7,688,220 and will use money from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), with the Pentagon saying the work is “expected to be completed by Nov. 29, 2024.”
According to a press release, the DOD announced that it awarded Raytheon Missiles and Defense the $192 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to be completed by November 29, 2024.
One Ukrainian official, Yuriy Ihnat told Air and Space Forces magazine, "The United States will supply Ukraine with AMRAAM aircraft missiles with a range of 160-180 km." He added, "AMRAAM are universal aviation missiles and can used for both fighters and air defense systems."
The outlet said that AMRAAM can be used as a surface-to-air by using a U.S.-Norwegian ground-based air-defense system already employed in the country, but President Volodymyr Zelenskey has stated that he expects to receive F-16 fighter jets by the beginning of the year.
This comes as the Biden administration announced on August 14 that it would be sending Ukraine another $200 million assistance package. The 44th shipment of munitions included munitions for Patriot air defense and High Mobility Artillery Rocket systems, mine clearing equipment, artillery rounds, tank ammunition, anti-armor systems, 37 tactical vehicles, 58 water trailers, and 12 million rounds of small arms ammunition and grenades.
Ukraine aid spending as of July 10 had reached $76 billion with $46.6 billion going to military and security assistance, $26.4 billion for financial assistance, and $3.9 billion for humanitarian assistance.
President Biden requested an additional $24 billion to assist in the war in Ukraine earlier this month. The request was part of a larger $40 billion package that had $3.9 billion to address the situation on the US border and $12 billion for disaster relief.

NYPD arrests CUNY professor, 16 others in prostitution bust==
The prostitutes are said to be wandering the streets of East New York nearly naked while looking for buyers.
An NYPD undercover operation bust involving an illegal prostitution ring in East New York resulted in the arrest of over a dozen individuals, including a CUNY professor.
Chernor Barrie, 31, of Brooklyn, New York, was arrested in August while seeking out sex from prostitutes around Wortman and Alabama Avenue. Barrie is an adjunct lecturer of Arabic at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, according to the New York Post.
The outlet reports that Barrie's character has been described by peers as "amazing" and "respectful."
The criminal bust that arrested 16 others was the result of NYPD cracking down on the illegal open-air sex trade, which has brought an increase in violent crime to the city, as well as concerns about alleged sex trafficking.
NYPD is arresting pimps and "johns" participating in the illicit sex trade, while prostitutes, who have been described as "very young," are being connected to advocacy groups as an alternative to being arrested, the outlet reports.
"The NYPD is in partnership to provide outreach, offer services, [and] showcase a realistic pathway out of this situation," a source told The Post. "These commercially sexually exploited individuals must know of our care and work in this regard — to help them — and that the NYPD has deeply heard the community complaints and concerns regarding this issue."
