EU Bans Own Citizens From Europe For Reporting

No law, no courts, only bureaucratic diktat

• EU increasingly acting as censor to the world, sanctioning individuals

• Bank accounts frozen, travel blocked - citizenship revoked

• Any person, any cause, could find itself targeted

• WHO adopts pandemic treaty a year after claiming global emergency powers

• Emergencies not defined - but grab more power than martial law

• For a multi-faceted reset: monetary, trade, military, demographic

• Covid lockdown was based on terrorism laws and military countermeasures

• Pandemic response controlled by intelligence agencies, masked by public health

• PREP Act declaring Covid emergency remains in force

Alina Lipp has reported from Ukraine since at least 2019

May 27, 2025

The European Union has banned its own citizens from entering Europe, because of their reporting on Ukraine and Gaza.

Journalists Thomas Röper and Alina Lipp were sanctioned on May 20 by the EU, including the freezing of bank accounts.

Others sanctioned include media company AFA Medya and its founder Hüseyin Doğru, a Turkish national who lives in Germany.

Their crime: challenging the official narrative through critical reporting.

It accuses them of “undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine” by "spreading pro-Russian propaganda.” Their reporting thus “destabilises” EU countries.

Their rights of citizenship and property have been sanctioned, not after a trial or even a ruling by a lone magistrate, but by bureaucratic diktat.

Being the EU, the decision is binding on all member states.

As Thomas Fazi points out in a post on X, the EU disregards the separation of powers and the concept of no sanction without the law. It resorts to extra-judicial punishment and uses measures created to target foreign entities against its citizens.

Moreover, coming from a supra-national, intergovernmental institution, it means that individuals persecuted in one European country cannot find political refuge in another.

In its ruling the Council of the European Union announced on May 20:

"Those designated today will be subject to an asset freeze and EU citizens and companies will be forbidden from making funds available to them. In addition, natural persons will also be subject to a travel ban, which will prevent them from entering or transiting through EU territories." [1]

You may not agree with these reporters, your sympathies may lie with a particular country or people, you may regard them as propagandists, but this undemocratic overreach could be turned upon any person or cause, including yours.

Increasingly the EU is acting as censor to the world, threatening Elon Musk and X or allegedly failing to comply with its Digital Services Act (DSA). This allows the intelligence agencies in the U.S. to skirt the First Amendment. [2]

Great reset

A reset is underway with multiple strands: monetary, trade, military, demographic. We may choose to look at these strands in isolation, like one bristle on a brush, at the risk of a poke in the eye, before we are swept away.

Or we may confront the uncomfortable truth that we are being lied to. We might call it a false history in real time, by which a relatively tiny number of rich and powerful keep the rest of the people in the dark, to stop us from uniting or rebelling.

The key to this is nothing so kooky as mind control, which is said to work best on those susceptible to manipulation. Mainly we do it to ourselves through group think and by giving in to fear.

In this article we'll look at confected crises and narrative management.

In connection with Gaza and Ukraine we have seen the detention of journalists under terrorism laws (Richard Medhurst, Sarah Wilkinson) and on occasion people taken off planes and their passport seized (Scott Ritter) but that at least was the intervention of law enforcement.

What we witness is worse than martial law or the suspension of habeas corpus because those are usually voted by the legislature and are temporary. What we are seeing is the seizure of power by unelected bureaucrats and not only because of war in Ukraine. They did the same during Covid.

Powers were seized, on the pretext of safety during a pandemic, that can apply when any emergency is declared: climate, animal health, food, mass migration, crime, organised crime by government in public partnership, and war...

This is the militarisation of society.

We now know that the Covid response was coordinated through military intelligence and alliances like NATO and the EU.
