Title: Arresting Journalists
Post by aquascoot on Oct 8th, 2023 at 2:01pm
who wont tow the party line ::) ::) ::) ::)


In a story that has virtually been ignored by the global media, UK police arrested an independent journalist for posting "malinformation" and misinformation about Ukraine.

Under the new UK censorship law called the Online Safety Act, the government can order the arrest or detention of anyone said to be "hateful" or judged by fact checkers to be posting "misinformation."

Warren Thornton was literally in the midst of streaming an edition of his podcast The Real Truth on Sept. 24 when Bristol police officers came to his front door and demanded he speak with them.

The Liberal government of Canada is preparing its own version of this legislation that will target "disinformation" on the internet without even defining what disinformation is.

Thornton is a critic of NATO's escalation of the war in Ukraine and has posted several videos about Ukrainian attacks on Russian civilians and the secret existence of biolabs in Ukraine. He was also quick to report how a former Waffen-SS Nazi soldier was allowed to sit in the Canadian House of Commons Gallery during a speech by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Yaroslav Hunka acknowledged plaudits from former House Speaker Anthony Rota and waved as all Members of Parliament rose from their seats and gave the 98-year-old SS veteran a standing ovation.


Thornton had just broadcast news of Canada's international embarrassment when the police arrived.

Thornton was interviewing guest Fiona Ryan when the host just "vanished" about 20 minutes before the program was expected to end, she told The People's Voice.  Ryan was conversing with Johnee, who hosts the Café Revolution, a YouTube channel that reports from the front of the Russia-Ukraine War in Donetsk.

Ryan discovered in a WhatsApp exchange that Thornton had been arrested by the police.

At the police station, Thornton said the officers became "flustered" during his interrogation because they were unable to say exactly what video posts led to his arrest, according to The People's Voice. Thornton soon had his lawyer on-scene who 'ripped them to bits'. He added that his lawyer told them to "charge him or release him."

Thornton, after spending a night in jail, was released Monday. The police decided not to charge him.

In a post on Rumble, Thornton described his ordeal with police as "jolly interesting" and said he asked if he was being charged with anything except spreading "malinformation." The police said he was not.

from "the Australian"

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been slammed online for appearing to blame "Russian disinformation" for an incident that saw a Ukrainian man who served in a Nazi unit during World War II receive a standing ovation in parliament. On Monday, September 25, Canada's House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota issued an apology to the chamber. Mr Rota had previously praised 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka as a "Ukrainian hero" during a parliamentary meeting on Friday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and PM Trudeau were both present in the chamber. Hunka had served in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, a Nazi unit, during WWII, according to the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center. Speaker Rota took full responsibility for the oversight, acknowledging to parliament that it was entirely his own initiative. Prime Minister Trudeau confronted the media on Monday over the "deeply embarrassing" blunder. "It's extremely upsetting that this happened. The Speaker has acknowledged his mistake and has apologized," Mr Trudeau said. "But this is something that is deeply embarrassing to the Parliament of Canada and by extension to all Canadians.
