In George Orwell’s 1984 the “Ministry of Truth” had three sayings carved on its walls: “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” The EU is now very much duplicating this with its “Peace Facility” transferring billions of dollars worth of artillery and ammunition to Ukraine, and the “Media Freedom Act” giving European bureaucrats the unrestrained power to censor any speech or ideas they dislike. This situation has been noted by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán who has said: “Brussels is creating an Orwellian world in front of our eyes. They buy and supply weapons through the European Peace Facility. They want to control the media through the Media Freedom Act. We didn’t fight the communists to end up in 1984!” However, it is here now.
