It is reported that the European Union is taking more steps to be able to monitor, censor, and control information:
EU To Establish ‘Ministry of Truth’
The European Union plans to counter the spread disinformation which Brussels claims could “erode trust in democratic systems” …
The proposal has been met with sharp criticism from the US, with its State Department describing the move as “Orwellian”, and adding that “censorship is not freedom”. …
According to the European Commission proposal, set to be published on November 12, the so-called Centre for Democratic Resilience will function as part of a broader “democracy shield” strategy, pitched by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen ahead of the 2024 European elections. …
The new center will add to the EU’s growing network of tools to monitor and moderate information, and is expected to work alongside supposedly “independent” fact-checkers and even coordinate with online influencers to promote content aligned with Brussels’ policies.
The proposal fits neatly into the wider enforcement framework of the EU’s Digital Services Act, which mandates the removal of “harmful content” and has drawn fierce criticism from free speech advocates. 11/08/25 https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/eu-to-establish-ministry-of-truth/

The EU’s Ministry of Truth: A Globalist Power Grab Disguised as a Fight Against ‘Disinformation’
January 10, 2025
In a chilling move that reads like a page from Orwell’s 1984, the European Union is formalizing its role as a gatekeeper of information with the creation of an “Information Sharing and Analysis Center” under the European External Action Service (EEAS). The declared purpose? To combat so-called “disinformation” campaigns from foreign actors like Russia and China. But make no mistake—this is not about protecting truth or democracy. It is a brazen attempt by the EU’s globalist elite to control opposition to narratives, silence dissent, and reshape public opinion to align with their own agenda.
A Veil of Legitimacy for Authoritarian Censorship
The EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell cloaked the initiative in noble rhetoric, declaring that disinformation undermines democracy by distorting public perception. According to Borrell, democracy cannot function if citizens lack access to “accurate” information—defined, of course, by the very institutions that stand to benefit most from this censorship apparatus.
Under the guise of protecting democracy, the EU has positioned itself as the arbiter of truth. This centralized platform seeks to monitor, analyze, and counter “manipulated” information in real-time, coordinating with NGOs, member states, and cybersecurity agencies. In reality, this infrastructure risks becoming a weapon to stifle independent journalism, dissenting voices, and any narrative that challenges the EU’s policy positions. …
By framing the “struggle for narrative” as an ongoing battle, the EU justifies ever-expanding surveillance and regulation of online platforms and pressuring companies like Twitter to align with its goals. This centralization of control over digital spaces threatens to erode the freedoms of expression and access to diverse viewpoints.
The Real Targets: You and Me
While the EU claims to combat “foreign actors,” its focus on “toxicity” in information opens the door to policing domestic dissent. The language of combating “biased choices” and ensuring the “quality of information” is a thinly veiled justification for narrative engineering. If information contrary to the EU’s worldview is deemed “toxic,” how long before ordinary citizens become the targets of censorship? How long before critics of EU policies are labeled agents of “disinformation”? https://rairfoundation.com/eus-ministry-truth-globalist-power-grab-disguised-as/
Yes, the EU is taking steps to control information and yes, this will impact individuals and not just foreign nations.
The Europeans already are implementing their Digital Services Act, which is another way they are putting in an Orwellian censorship system.
Was loss of free speech and of the press prophesied?
Yes.
The Bible teaches:
11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
But shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)
That does not mean that there will be no Bibles. But the time will come when those promoting various biblical teachings will no longer to be able to have access to the internet, etc. as before. We are seeing more and more of this.
The Bible shows more restrictions are coming.
Jesus said:
4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4)
7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. (Revelation 3:7-8)
As Philadelphia Christians, we do not give up when a door is closing–we look out for others to be opened. So, in 2023, we greatly increased our radio presence around the world (see also Continuing Church of God Multimedia page). So far, radio is NOT subject to the type of censorship many governments around the world have been engaging in–despite the problems we faced.
As far as censorship goes, expect more.
Europe has already taken steps to push Big Tech to remove speech it does not want to allow.
Restrictions on speech are already here and more restrictions are coming.
Consider the following:
The European Central Bank (ECB) is moving forward with the digital euro project. It moved from the initial phase into the preparation phase in November 2023. This preparation phase aims to lay the foundation of a potential future digital euro, by finalizing its rulebook and selecting providers that could help develop a technical platform. A first draft of the rulebook and a first call for providers were presented in January 2024 (ECB 2024)—the ECB has earmarked significant funds to work with the private sector to develop a digital euro. The next phase involving an actual development and rollout of the digital euro could start in November 2025 at the earliest. …
To encourage broad adoption, CBDC design should prioritize universal access, ease of use, and security. …
CBDC, as a digital form of central bank money, may allow for a “digital trail”—data—to be accessed, collected, processed and stored. In contrast to cash, CBDC could be designed to potentially include a wealth of personal data encapsulating transaction histories, user demographics, and behavioral patterns. Personal data could establish a link between counterparty identities and transactions. https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/Policy-Papers/Issues/2024/11/08/Central-Bank-Digital-Currency-Progress-And-Further-Considerations-557194
We are getting closer and closer to ‘666.’
Notice the following prophecy:
15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)
So, freedom of religion is prophesied to be taken away in Europe. Furthermore, notice that controls of buying and selling are also prophesied. The controls in verses 17-18 were simply not possible in the Apostle John’s day, but with supercomputers and digital finance, and things like Artificial Intelligence, they now are. As it turns out, Europe is working on a massive supercomputer project involving AI (see Google’s Willow chip, Bitcoin, and Europe’s exascale JETI Jupiter supercomputer project) and is moving towards a digital euro (watch CBDCs and a Cashless Society).
Europe has long been in the process of putting together what may become the enforcer of controlling buying and selling. We put together the following video related to that:
9:55
EU Setting Up 666 Enforcer?
The European Union is in the process of establishing the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. This is a major, first-of-its-kind move, with the EU setting up a European-wide prosecutor’s office that will have power to investigate and charge people for financial crimes committed against the EU. It looks like this type of office may end up persecuting those that do not have the mark of the Beast when they “buy or sell” as that will later be considered a financial crime in Europe. What does 666 mean? How has that name be calculated? How can we be certain that this is a prophecy for Europe and not Islam? Is the appointment of this new office of significant prophetic importance? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more by pointing to scriptures, news items, and historical accounts.
Here is a link to the sermonette video: EU Setting Up 666 Enforcer?
The European Public Prosecutor’s Office officially started operations on 1 June 2021 (https://www.eppo.europa.eu/en/background).
So, there is an office to prosecute, there is a ‘Ministry of Truth’ agency, and Europe has been working on supercomputers, a digital currency, and Artificial Intelligence–all of those types of things are leading to the fulfillment of the 666 and other totalitarian prophecies for Europe.
Are we seeing things that George Orwell’s 1984 book warned of?
Yes.
Notice the following:
March 19, 2025
It’s happening again. Europe is once again going totalitarian and this time there’s a decidedly familiar communist stench. The outcome was predictable for many of us in the alternative media and the situation is only going to get worse in the next few years, but what does this mean for the rest of the world? With the European elites casting off their humanist masks and going outright Orwellian, what kind of chaos can we expect to unfold? …
The Downward Spiral Into 1984
In the EU and UK there has been a slow burn on censorship the past ten years which has recently exploded into a California Palisades level inferno of speech restrictions. Door to door enforcement has increased as the public speaks out against multicultural polities. The excuse is always the same – Native Europeans are not allowed to criticize third world integration because it “might hurt people’s feelings”. Any opposition to mass immigration is labeled “hate speech”.
Movements for national identity and border security are regularly attacked in the media. In France and Germany globalist officials are attempting to make it impossible for conservative leaning political parties to participate in elections.
In Romania they have succeeded in disrupting the normal voting process, arresting populist candidate Calin Georgescu after he won the first round of presidential elections. EU controlled authorities have ruled that he will not be allowed to run again. And for those that think he was blocked due to Russian interference, well, they just blocked the candidacy of another conservative candidate simply because she criticized the EU. Romania is also tightening rules for online speech in an effort to silence public dissent.
In true dystopian fashion, the powers-that-be call this “protecting democracy”. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/europe-goes-full-totalitarian-and-puts-entire-western-world-risk
Related to some Orwellian moves in Europe, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel discussing various views and scriptures about that:
14:40
Is Germany Becoming Orwell’s 1984?
In his novel 1984 George Orwell described a totalitarian government that controlled all aspects of human existence. “Big Brother is Watching You” was the reality of this government. George Orwell introduced “Newspeak”, a language that was designed to limit the range of thought. He also defined his concept of “Doublethink”, which is the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs at once and, yet accept both as reality. In 1984, the Thought Police were tasked with actually controlling what people can even think, let alone what they can say! The year 1984 has come and gone, but has George Orwell’s “Big Brother” government finally started to arrive? Are many governments in the world today adopting many of the ideas and tactics outlined in George Orwell’s book? If so, what government or governments are leading the way? Has Germany just put in its own version of “Thought Police”? Think about this: There is now a German Government initiative to report your family for wrong think. Dr. Thiel quotes Luke 12:53 in our Bible and then goes on to further shine the light of Biblical prophecy on the answers to these ‘666’ matters. He provides answers from the verses of the Bible that bring prophecy to life.
Here is a link to our video: Is Germany Becoming Orwell’s 1984?
Understand that without national repentance, which looks unlikely, a globalist-type agenda from Europe will be implemented. This will result in the end of the USA and its British-descended allies (cf. Daniel 11:39)–nor will Europe end up fairly well–1984 will be more real!
The ONLY real hope is the return of Jesus and the good news of the coming Kingdom of God.
A famine of the word is coming.
Do not think that the US will stop this or that Europe will change and not move forward with totalitarianism.
