The oppression of 300 million once free people

When power exists where popularity and consent have disappeared, tyranny looms. To maintain power without popularity or consent a useful tool for tyrants is fear. So this week we have seen the justice ministers of the governing parties of the EU member states, read here, agree to make an undefinable thought process a criminal act punishable by three years in jail across the EU. There can be no other reason for the proposal to criminalize xenophobia which in English is defined as follows: hatred or fear of foreigners or strangers or of their politics or culture I do fear the politics of those who drive the EU project forward as I believe it is destroying Europe's centuries old democratic freedoms and rights. I do through this blog try to convince others of the dangers as I perceive them. I could therefore be liable to three years imprisonment under this proposed legislation. Fear is in the mind, so we are all potentially at risk of prosecution under these proposals, with the State the sole arbiter of who might be fearful - all soon will be.
