The definitive end of the freedom of expression myth in the West

Mikhail Gamandiy-Egorov, September 26

The myths long propagated by the Western minority are definitely a thing of the past, irrevocably dispelling all the illusions of some.

The myth of freedom of speech in the West

Freedom of speech and information, democratic values, human rights – these are just a few examples of the theses that the West has been promoting for decades, spreading the myth that it fully “respects” them. While it has long been obvious that all this was just a cheap publicity stunt, today it is particularly clear that the Western minority in the world not only absolutely does not correspond to the above-mentioned theses, but even denies the right to exist of any opinion that does not coincide with the interests of the miserable space called the West.
The only motivation of the Western minority is to try with all its might to bring the world back under its diktat

Total absence of freedom of expression in the West

What happened a few days ago in New York fully confirmed that the Western minority is solely motivated by the desire to be able to bring the world back under its diktat. Namely, the entry ban imposed by the US regime on the CEO of the Pan-African television channel Afrique Media, Justin Tagouh, as part of the media coverage of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly – and this despite the availability of all the necessary documents and the accreditation of the media by the UN.

Reason and wording of the refusal? “Pro-Russian and anti-Western theses of the television channel”. In other words, a major media outlet of continental and international scope, in the opinion of the US regime, does not have the right for its own editorial line, based on Pan-African values since the TV channel’s very creation in 2011. By the way, this was well before Russia’s great return to Africa.

This is far from the first attempt by Western regimes to put pressure on (probably) the main African media platform oriented towards Pan-African values and those of the multipolar world. There have been, among other things, multiple repeated attempts, including by the French regime, to shut down this channel through exerting pressure on the authorities of Cameroon, where one of the headquarters of the television channel is located. The main thing is that Afrique Media has not only resisted all these colossal attacks and pressure, but also gained immense authority among the inhabitants of African countries, as well as among the African diaspora.

Need to extend the ban on Western propaganda

However, this situation has once again clearly proven that in the United States – and in the little Western world in general – not only is there a complete absence of freedom of speech and all those “values” put forward by the regimes of the global minority and affiliated propaganda, just as there is no room for an alternative opinion, but more than that: the West, fully aware of the end of the era of its dictatorship and domination over humanity, increasingly shows its only true colours. The colours of lies, dictatorship, openly neocolonial mentality and racism towards the global majority.

And this once again confirms several extremely important vectors. Firstly, that it is necessary to respond to the Western minority using its own methods, preferably even more radical ones. For every blow received, give five, or, even better, ten retaliatory blows. The Western minority understands only the concept of force. This obviously also applies to the further ousting of Western propaganda from the territories of the global majority. In the end, why apply democracy and freedom of speech to those who are trying to eradicate these concepts in relation to everyone who thinks differently? Mostly when Western propaganda most openly supports terrorist methods in different parts of the world.

In this regard, a number of countries of the Global South, including in Africa and especially those of the Alliance-Confederation of Sahel States (Alliance-Confédération des Etats du Sahel, AES), are setting a good example by introducing restrictions against various Western propaganda instruments. Of course, this process must actively extend to all regions of the world, together representing the global majority.

Speaking about the interests of the global majority, it is worth recalling once again the necessity to launch a real international media coalition of the world majority. The first outlines of such interaction already exist within the framework of BRICS, but it is more necessary than ever to expand them into an alliance with the nations of the Global South and to direct this initiative in an even more practical direction.

As for the umpteenth violations by Western regimes, including when they concern the UN – formally international territory – here too, of course, it is obvious that the “international structures” headquarters should not be located in countries of the global minority. If it becomes impossible in the foreseeable future to transfer these headquarters to the states of the global majority, it will be necessary to further strengthen the coordination of the multipolar word order’s main organizations, represented by BRICS, SCO and other regional, continental and international structures, as the only acceptable alternatives to those where the Western minority lobby continues to maintain an unacceptable level.
