New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is the latest liberal leader to call for an international alliance to censor speech. Unsatisfied with the unprecedented corporate censorship of social media companies, leaders like Hillary Clinton have turned from private censorship to good old-fashioned state censorship. Speech regulation has become an article of faith on the left. Ardern used her speech this week to the United Nations General Assembly to call for censorship on a global scale.
Ardern lashed out at “disinformation” and called for a global coalition to control speech. After nodding toward free speech, she proceeded to lay out a plan for its demise through government regulation:
But what if that lie, told repeatedly, and across many platforms, prompts, inspires, or motivates others to take up arms. To threaten the security of others. To turn a blind eye to atrocities, or worse, to become complicit in them. What then?
This is no longer a hypothetical. The weapons of war have changed, they are upon us and require the same level of action and activity that we put into the weapons of old.
We recognized the threats that the old weapons created. We came together as communities to minimize these threats. We created international rules, norms and expectations. We never saw that as a threat to our individual liberties – rather, it was a preservation of them. The same must apply now as we take on these new challenges.
Ardern noted how extremists use speech to spread lies without noting that non-extremists use the same free speech to counter such views. To answer her question on “how do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists” is that you convince people using the same free speech. Instead, Ardern appears to want to silence those who have doubts.
While referring to a global censorship coalition as a “light-touch approach to disinformation,” Ardern revealed how sweeping such a system would likely be. She defended the need for such global censorship on having to combat those who question climate change and the need to stop “hateful and dangerous rhetoric and ideology.”
“After all, how do you successfully end a war if people are led to believe the reason for its existence is not only legal but noble? How do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists? How do you ensure the human rights of others are upheld, when they are subjected to hateful and dangerous rhetoric and ideology?”
That is the same rationale used by authoritarian countries like China, Iran, and Russia to censor dissidents, minority groups, and political rivals. What is “hateful” and “dangerous” is a fluid concept that government have historically used to silence critics or dissenters.
Ardern is the smiling face of the new generation of censors. At least the old generation of censors like the Iranians do not pretend to support free speech and openly admit that they are crushing dissent. The point is that we need to be equally on guard when censorship is pushed from the left with the best of motivations and the worst of means.
As the great civil libertarian Justice Louis Brandeis once said, “the greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.”

This buck tooth trannie has no idea she is being used. Does she honestly think she will get a seat at the table once her mission is complete. It will be dragged out back and dispensed with.

The Truth fears no investigation.. so one can only conclude that the ‘regime’ trades in lies and distractions…
All totalitarian systems censor the Truth and stifle meaningful debate because the methods of maintaining power and control within such systems are usually based on the justification of nonsense…(and usually by coercive and oppressive means)..
this is particularly true today..
She is a loathsome, lizard-tongued lying piece of pusillanimous pukeness!!! Watch this! – 1 min, 8 seconds:

Hey, Jacinda! You also have to be cautious of the poisonous boomslang laughter and social droppings of the fruit bat.
This witch is one evil money-grubbing KHUNT !! Is there nothing she won’t do for cash ? Remember that visit she made to Blackrock a couple months back ? Money, baby, MONEY !! Who cares about people ? Let them all rot and die, right ? She needs to have that cocky-ass smile permanently removed from her face.
Looking at her teeth, at first, I thought she was Princes Ann. Sorry, Ann.😊
Lies!
Magica de Hex!
Just another deranged Commie white whore (if not a Jew). Most white women are crypto-Commies & monkey lovers.
Jews, Commies & nonwhites hate ‘free speech’ because it exposes their inferiority, lies, lunacy, conspiracies & crimes. So naturally they will work to proscribe it. Interesting how its only in these so-called ‘liberal democracies’ & Communist states that speech is banned–whereas Nazi Germany & Fascist Italy had no ‘anti-speech’ laws…
“Ardern lashed out at “disinformation” and called for a global coalition to control speech. ” .. Hear, hear! By all means, let’s give “disinformation” a good stomping and “control speech”. That would start with the shit pouring out of the lie-holes of the criminal cartel cronies masquerading as government. In fact, let’s REALLY control their speech in a very firm fashion by ripping out their tongues and stuffing them up their a**holes, starting with ol’ horse face Arden there. Then hang her from a highway overpass with a sign nailed to her chest that says, “I Was A Depraved Liar and Traitor To My Country”.
You have no idea how many Muslim women in Asia worship her as a ‘female role model’. I’m not kidding.
Would like to piss in her face……
Putin is making all these bought and paid for puppets say the most ridiculous things…
Ardern is one of the best saying some of the most ridiculous things.
Where are you when Palestinians are being murdered by the chosenites?
Ardern is morally and spiritually bankrupt.
I don’t know what makes people like her think the elite will spare her if we’re all gone. I don’t think she came from an elite family so there’s no reason why they would value her after her usefulness has passed. Being liquidated last in a cull isn’t the same as surviving it.
“Would like to piss in her face……”
I would be careful of that; nasty, disgusting skank might enjoy it.
Gullible and childlike, driven solely by emotion, filled with resentment and devoid of any moral compass, the elites favourite ‘leader’ of choice for implementing anything really nasty is always a woman.

I took myself down to the Tally-Ho Tavern to buy me a bottle of beer
I sat me down by a tender young maiden whose eyes were as dark as her hair
And as I was searchin’ from bottle to bottle for somethin’ unfoolish to say
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows and smilingly stole her away
I said hey little girl don’t you know he’s the devil he’s everything that I ain’t
Hidin’ intentions of evil under the smile of a saint
All he’s good for is gettin’ in trouble and shifting his share of the blame
And some people swear he’s my double and some even say we’re the same
But the silver tongued devil’s got nothing to lose I’ll only live till I die
We take our own chances and pay our own dues the silver tongued devil and I
Like all the fair maidens who’ve laid down beside him
She knew in her heart that he’d lied
But nothing that I could have said could’ve saved her
No matter how hard that she tried
Cause she’ll offer her soul to the darkness and danger
Of something that she’s never known
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger who’ll love her and leave her alone
And you know he’s the devil…
Just a suspicion..
Something weird about this video…
Arden looks like she is doing a green screen…projected background…
Further to this..same with those in attendance, where they look cut and pasted into their background/s
she has no brains like Biden . she
spits only out what her freemasons
dictate her . they are her brains .
Anyone who thinks Ardern is female needs to see this.

Both Obongo’s boyfriend Michael Robinson and this Ardern creature leave their underwear off to display a bulge no woman would have.
Why? Because they WANT us to know what they are.
Nico X insulting White women because he hates White people and loves the Jews who lead White women the wrong way. This time he is the “Damien” son of Satan
One bullet is all it takes.
