The Empire of Deception is losing its advantages in the balance of power and its strategic position in a world where multiple international powers are emerging, and these changes are happening at rocket speed.
The decline of the empire has intensified after the battle of Palestinian resistance forces, the Al-Aqsa Storm. The Empire of Deception has been forced to defend another demon it created with all its demonic forces. Despite different positions and views, there has been and continues to be agreement on the “need for close cooperation between allies” to save their self-made occupying colony from itself and its enemies.
To aid Israel’s efforts, Western governments have also launched severe and unprecedented repressive police actions against Western people who are willing to support Palestinians and openly respond to their conscience.
The sincere and serious activism of pro-Palestinian activists against Israel’s genocide in Gaza has pushed aside the mask of deception of Western imperialist states and exposed their true ugly anti-human face to the concerned conscience of humanity.
In Britain, arrests of high profile activists protesting the Zionist genocide continue unabated. In the past two days, the pro-Palestinian activist, Richard Bernard and social justice and human rights activist Sara Wilkinson have been held in custody.
Richard Bernard, one of the founders of the pro-Palestinian activist group Palestine Action, was charged by British police on August 29 under terrorism laws. Bernard is accused of “expressing an opinion that supported a banned organization contrary to Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000.” Richard Bernard, the founder of Palestine Action, faces three charges following a targeted campaign by the Zionist lobby. He is accused of supporting a banned organization, writing about it, and speaking at demonstrations. While these demonstrations were legal and the London police had issued permits for them. Nevertheless, he is in custody based on terrorism laws and encouragement of illegal activities.
Wilkinson’s arrest came two weeks after Richard Medhurst, a Syrian-British journalist, was detained and interrogated by British police under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act upon arrival at Heathrow Airport. Other British journalists who have provided critical reports on the foreign policies of Israel, Britain, and the United States have also been detained and harassed upon returning to their country, including Kit Klarenberg, a colleague of Vanessa Beeley (a humanitarian and anti-imperialist journalist).
Sara Wilkinson, a British human rights activist and social media influencer, was arrested by British police on August 29, reportedly due to “content published on social media.” The police arrived just before 7:30 AM with twelve plainclothes officers. Jack Wilkinson, quoting from the Suppressed News social media account, said: They said she was arrested because of “online content she had published”!
In London, the police arrested people just for participating in legal pro-Palestinian demonstrations and kept them in detention for weeks without formal charges based on terrorism laws. They raided their homes in the middle of the night, in the manner of their puppet dictatorships, and kept family members in terror for hours. The Peyk-e Khavar website strongly condemned this police action in a statement.
The silencing of awakened consciences had begun in Britain, “the cradle of parliamentarism”, long before the Al-Aqsa Storm operation. The author of these lines, in an article on this website, refers to the dismissal of Professor Miller, a professor at the University of Bristol, due to his positions on the occupation of Palestine: In this article titled “Why are academics critical of Zionism fired in the cradle of freedom of speech?”, the expansion of the police-intelligence atmosphere in British universities is mentioned.
In October 2021, Professor David Miller, a sociology professor, was dismissed by Bristol University officials following an extensive campaign by a number of well-known actors in the British political and policy-making arena. The leadership of these accusations was with the Jewish Students’ Union of Bristol University… Also, Conservative representatives on the Education Select Committee, as well as a petition from more than 100 Conservative MPs in the House of Commons who claimed to accept the views of the Jewish Students’ Committee, were involved in this dismissal. Following the genocides of the apartheid regime and the passionate defense of Palestinian resistance struggle by students in British universities, university officials and police helped this pro-genocide effort by implementing repressive measures against their own students.
Earlier, the free journalist Julian Assange was imprisoned for 6 years in solitary confinement in Belmarsh prison in London for exposing US army war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has said that he had to choose between meeting his parents or his wife and young children.
France:
The suppression of freedom of speech in France reached a scandalous level of disgrace for Europeans with the arrest of “Pavel Durov,” the founder of the Telegram social media platform. Telegram’s coverage power in protecting user privacy made life difficult for imperialist-Zionist intelligence services. Moreover, the police intelligence-imperialist apparatus needs to turn the internet into a propaganda and lie-spreading machine at will in servile service to colonial occupiers.
The French, whose institutionalized racism and state discrimination against Arabs and Muslims have reached horrific levels in the past two decades, have also sent their ships, weapons, and personnel to help Israel in its genocidal war and ordered French military bases in the region to defend Israel.
France, this chic cradle of civilization and culture, while banning all pro-Palestinian demonstrations, severely controls, suppresses, and imprisons and prosecutes any pro-Palestinian activity in virtual and real spaces…. Of course, these colonial and Islamophobic suppressions are never new for France, as France was the main supplier of weapons to Israel throughout the 1950s until 1967 and the architect of Israel’s nuclear program. The brutal, savage suppression of multiple French governments in confronting Algerian anti-colonial fighters will forever tarnish the ugly face of this colonial power.
Germany:
Of course, Germany has not been and is not very reputable in suppressing political freedoms, but it has always condemned Iran for limiting political freedoms in European Union commission meetings! Therefore, continuing this anti-human and perpetual policy, the Berlin government has continued to suppress freedom of speech and silence any media critical of Germany’s support for the genocidal government
Although none of these actions are new, as Germany has been the main supplier of weapons to Israel for decades and has provided Israel with submarines capable of carrying nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, it should come as no surprise that it has banned and suppressed all pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
Ms. Wafa Mustafa, since fleeing Syria a decade ago, has spoken on behalf of political prisoners at the United Nations, even condemned the Iranian regime, and consequently enjoyed many civil and political freedoms – suddenly found that her new country cannot tolerate criticism of the Israeli apartheid regime’s genocide and even easily arrested and imprisoned her in protest of the genocide in Gaza!! She said she had no intention of demonstrating, but was wearing the black and white Palestinian scarf known as keffiyeh, so the police dragged her on the ground, handcuffed her, and transferred her to prison.
In any case, the anti-colonial and anti-occupation battle of the Al-Aqsa Storm was a touchstone that revealed the impurity of Western claims, especially the three most vocal European countries. Aren’t these current repressive courts and police states reminiscent of the anti-civilization and anti-cultural experiences of the Inquisition in Western Europe in the Middle Ages?? While no prospect for improvement is seen on the horizon.
