PS. This is happening everywhere even if you don’t hear about the less famous examples.
I was removed from keynoting a conference in the Netherlands this year when the suits in Florida whose event it was saw that I’d called for a moment of silence for Palestinian victims of genocide at my last talk.
(The folks in the Netherlands who were hosting it and had invited me to speak were as horrified as I was and I got my sizeable speaking fee – which goes to our not for profit and supports our work on the Small Web – regardless and they told me they never would have hosted the conference if they had known what the Floridians were like.)
The evil, criminal motherfuckers who are funding, arming, defending, and thus actively complicit in genocide know that the world is starting to see through their lies when confronted with the truth. So their only weapon now is to try and muzzle the truth tellers.
