It's a funny thing. Forty years ago, Alexander Solhzenitsyn had to tap into an underground network to smuggle his arduously copied writings about totalitarianism in the Soviet Union into the Free World. Today, in Europe, a charter member of that same Free World last time I checked, a diferent form of central control grows--far softer, yes, and much better fed, but hardly toothless. Its abuses of freedom--the fundamentals of a free society such as freedom of speech, freedom of dissent--are shocking; however, they go barely reported in plain sight. As Islam--whose laws (sharia) mandate curbs on freedom of speech and freedom of dissent strikingly similar to those of Euro-establishment--spreads across the European continent, central control and its urge to censor is becoming increasingly entrenched. "Postcards from Europe" will be following this trend, which should be of grave concern to all Free Peoples.
