“We Are Restricting Freedom… For The Common Good”: Irish Green Party Calls For Limiting Free Speech<\/h2>\n

June 19, 2023<\/p>\n

The Irish Green Party followed many on the left around the world, … this week and came out for censorship and speech controls. Indeed, the party went full Orwellian as its chairwoman Pauline O\u2019Reilly called for \u201crestricting freedom\u201d to protect it.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Reilly\u2019s comments are part of the introduction of the Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022. …<\/p>\n

The legislation that would criminalize \u201cincitement to violence or hatred against\u201d people with \u201cprotected characteristics,\u201d as well as \u201ccondoning, denying or grossly trivialising genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes against peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Limiting free speech has become an article of faith for many on the left. …<\/p>\n

The anti-free speech movement has become openly Orwellian in claiming to protect freedom by limiting freedom.\u00a0 It also employs using terms like disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation to obscure their effort to silence those with opposing views. Rather than use \u201ccensorship,\u201d they refer to \u201ccontent moderation.\u201d<\/p>\n

That effort was on full display this week in Ireland with this anti-free speech legislation.<\/p>\n

Speaking before the Irish Senate (Seanad) this week, Green Party chairwoman Pauline O\u2019Reilly\u00a0declared<\/a> \u201cwhen one thinks about it, all law and all legislation is about the restriction of freedom. This is exactly what we are doing here. We are restricting freedom but we are doing it for the common good.\u201d …<\/p>\n

The Irish legislation is likely to be replicated around the world if the free speech community cannot hold the line against the anti-free speech movement. It is part of an unrelenting movement in Europe, particularly by the European Union, to rollback Western free speech values that once defined countries. …<\/p>\n

Ireland is declaring \u201cno free speech for haters\u201d and assumes the authority to define who are haters and who are not. https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/we-are-restricting-freedom-common-good-irish-green-party-calls-limiting-free-speech<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, Europe is heading towards more and more restrictions on speech. The Bible is clear that Europe will be led soon by a totalitarian dictatorship.<\/p>\n

12 \u201cThe ten horns which you saw are\u00a0ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet<\/strong>, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.\u00a0 (Revelation 17:12-13, NKJV throughout unless otherwise specified)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These ten kings have no kingdom, but are to attain one. Thus, this is a type of reorganization in verse 12. Since they give their power to the Beast in verse 13, this is a second reorganization.\u00a0 The \u201cbeast\u201d is not shown to have much power prior to Revelation 17:12-13.<\/p>\n

Although the beast gets in place as the result of two coming reorganizations, the foundations to allow the beast power to put in more totalitarian restrictions is being endorsed by many governments in Europe already.<\/p>\n

Was loss of free speech and of the press prophesied?<\/p>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

The Bible shows more restrictions are coming.<\/p>\n

Consider that Jesus said:<\/p>\n

\n

4 \u2026 the night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4, NKJV)<\/p>\n

4\u2026 the night cometh, when no man can work (John 9:4 KJV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The prophet Amos was inspired to record the following:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

11 \u201cBehold, the days are coming,\u201d says the Lord God,
\n\u201cThat I will send a famine on the land,
\nNot a famine of bread,
\nNor a thirst for water,
\nBut of hearing the words of the Lord.
\n12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
\nAnd from north to east;
\nThey shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
\nBut shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In a October 23, 1980 co-worker letter, Herbert Armstrong wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

The Bible warns us the time is just ahead when NO MAN CAN WORK\u2014in the Lord\u2019s Work. We must sacrifice now as never before for this Work that we may FINISH the Work that Christ has called us to do. Pray as never before, for this Work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In a November 22, 1982 co-worker letter, Herbert Armstrong wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2026 brethren and co-workers, the prophesied Great Tribulation (nuclear World War III) will start soon after the European unification. That means OUR WORK OF SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE FINISHED! We have not now much more time. Soon shall come a FAMINE of hearing the Word of the Lord (Amos 8:11). God says, work while it is day, for the night is coming when no man can work \u2013 in the Work of God! Nothing else is important in our lives, now, but this all-important Work of God. (http:\/\/cog-ff.com\/html\/pcomments_07_04_08.html, viewed 10\/03\/13)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, the Bible tells of a time that will come when the word of God will not be found. And that would seem to be because it will be taken off the internet. In the 21st century, the internet is accessed by people in every country, and thus some type of internet restriction\/suspension\/site removal is coming.<\/p>\n

Europe has already taken steps to push Big Tech to remove speech it does not want to allow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Bible foretells such a time where without something to come, one cannot buy or sell and that one must worship the beast or risk death:<\/p>\n

15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.<\/p>\n

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The above prophecy points to there being the ability to control buying and selling, as well as there being enforcers of the mark of the beast. We are also seeing things like electronic money (including those referred to as digital currencies), which did not exist a century ago, getting more widespread acceptance. Electronic money will make 666\u2019s enforcement possible.<\/p>\n

And we see from Bible prophecy that 666\u2019s plan will involve both economic and murderous persecution.<\/p>\n

Electronic communications, artificial intelligence, and digital currencies help make 666 enforcement possible.<\/p>\n

Related to internet control, the\u00a0Continuing<\/em>\u00a0Church of God<\/a>\u00a0has the following video on our\u00a0Bible News Prophecy<\/a>\u00a0YouTube channel:<\/p>\n

Internet Censorship and Prophecy<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Are concerns about internet censorship limited to nations such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. But what about the USA, Canada, and Germany? What about the European Union? What about internet media companies such as Facebook, Google, YouTube, or email services like MailChimp? Has the attempt to control information been made by various ones over the centuries? Was the New Testament affected by it? What about the church throughout the centuries? Has the Bible already been partially censored? Which Bible prophecies point to coming Internet censorship? What about the Book of Amos? What about the coming 666 Beast and final Antichrist? Is there anything that can be done about this? Should Philadelphian Christians be working on anything now? Will preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God vs. a highly media-supported alternative lead to a \u2018famine of the word\u2019? More internet censorship is coming as various statements in the Bible support.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Internet censorship is happening now! Vimeo even removed one our videos last year.<\/p>\n

Orwell\u2019s 1984 by 2024?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

In 1949, the late George Orwell wrote a disturbing book about a totalitarian government called \u201cnineteen-eighty four.\u201d Despite laws that are supposed to protect freedom of speech and religion, we are seeing governments taking steps consistent with those that Geroge Orwell warned against. We are also seeing this in the media, academia, and in private companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. With the advent of technology, totalitarianism beyond what Orwell wrote is possible. Does the Bible teach the coming a totalitarian state similar to George Orwell\u2019s? What about the Antichrist and 666? Will things get worse? What is the solution? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more.

\nPersecutions by Church and State<\/a> This article documents some persecution and censoring that have occurred against those associated with the COGs and some prophesied to occur. Will those with the cross be the persecutors or the persecuted–this article has the shocking answer. There is also a YouTube video sermon you can watch: The Coming Persecution of the Church<\/a>.

\nDoes God Have a 6,000 Year Plan?

There is a tradition attributed to the Hebrew prophet Elijah that humanity had 6,000 years to live before being replaced by God\u2019s Kingdom. There are scriptures, writings in the Talmud, early Christian teachings that support this. Also, even certain Hindu writings support it.<\/span> Here is a link to a related video: Is the USA prophesied to be destroyed by 2028?<\/a> In Spanish: Seran los Estados Unidos Destruidos en el 2028?<\/a>
