> A shocking backroom deal is underway to revive Chat Control 1.0 this Friday — and on Monday 29 June, the final trilogue for permanent mass scanning takes place. We face a double-attack on private communication. Take two minutes now: e-mail your MEPs and Permanent Representation to stop this!

It's difficult to read this without thinking of Luigi. The corruption and oppression keeps growing and growing. I wonder what it'd take for this to stop: as much as I'd like to believe it, the solution is not hiding behind voting.

We are at the stage of capitalism after the usual control mechanisms the system used to keep people compliant started to fail, exactly as Frank Zappa described:

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

The most corrupt group is trying to control everybody else.

Metsola tried twice to favor her brother-in-law with a job that is payed 15,000-20,000€/month (the average monthly gross income in Malta, were they are from is 2100€).

The EU doesn't need such parasites.

They'll try again and again until it happens. All being paid by your own tax money. The best of all being you can't do anything about it.
