Domestic Interference: The French Shall Not Meddle in France's Affairs

Let's have a good laugh at these "defenders" of "our" democracy, who wallow gleefully in unconstitutionality and contempt for the rule of law.

Three French senators — Agnès Evren of Les Républicains (center-right), the Socialist Sylvie Robert (who also chairs the cultural observatory at the Fondation Jean Jaurès), and Laurent Lafon of the UDI/Macronist camp, charmain of the Senate’s cultural affairs committee — simply lifted, wholesale, for their information mission report on the "grey zones" of information, the recommendations of the Aspen Institute's "Commission on Information Disorder" (dating from 2021) and those of a report dressed up as scientific, produced by a consortium of NGOs led by Science Feedback — part of the European branch, as it were, of the American censorship-industrial complex set up under Barack Obama in 2015 (Science Feeadback was founded in 2015) and dismantled by the Trump administration in 2025.

The list of people called to testify is jaw-dropping: among them, the "anti-conspiracy" crusaders Gérald Bronner (who led a mission commissioned by President Emmanuel Macron on "fake news" in 2021) and Thomas Huchon (close to Conspiracy Watch), the heads of Streetpress, Basta and Blast — news outlets that are, of course, not remotely progressive biased nor activist — and thoroughly independent, objective NGOs, such as Reporters Without Borders.

For further information on the French Censorship Industrial Complex, please refer to the Twitter Files France. It’s all there.

To balance things out — otherwise the trick would have been too obvious — Frontières and L'Incorrect were also called in for testimony, two outlets branded as "opinion" media, as if having an opinion were somehow the exclusive property of conservatives.
