This is terrifying. Read the whole post.

A quote from the verdict:

Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.

Van Langenhove's 2024 lecture focused on the rise of crime in Europe due to mass migration, along with the dangers of multiculturalism and the "Great Replacement."

Part of his discussion there, and in other forums, also revolved around ethnic differences related to IQ, athletic ability, and other physical features.

There is actual science behind some of this (Van Langenhove gave the example of Kenyans being the best runners), but the Western world has been paralyzed by how the Nazis abused that science to promote eugenics and genocide.

Several of Van Langenhove's other quotes that have gotten him in trouble include:

...go to Africa once and look at the bridges there. Most of the bridges still standing were built during the colonial period or even long before by white engineers. And when bridges need repairing nowadays, it is not the Africans repairing them — it is Asians; the Chinese have taken over everything.

And:

...whites are simply better at some things and that is that — it is fundamental.

And:

People are not equal, animals are not equal, plants are not equal, there is nothing in nature that is equal.

Van Langenhove denies that this makes him a white supremacist, though some of his ideas certainly do put him at odds with Christian theology that built the West and its emphasis on equality and human rights.

Instead, he says he is fighting the Marxist idea of equity, where the government forces everyone to have equal outcomes, rather than providing people an equal playing field to test their varying levels of skill and intelligence.

But the question is not whether Van Langenhove is right, but whether he has the right to say it. After all, radical leftists are allowed to share their beliefs about human identity ad nauseam, but they are never thrown in jail for what they say.

The judges wrote that 'For an act to be punishable, it is not necessary for the defendant to have openly incited others to commit specific acts of hatred or violence… It is sufficient that others are incited to adopt a general attitude of intolerance or aversion towards the targeted group of persons.'

Read that slowly. It should scare the living daylights out of anyone who cares about liberty and tyranny.

More from the Brussels Signal:

Van Langenhove was found guilty on two counts under Belgium's 1981 Anti-Racism Law: Incitement to hatred or violence against a group on grounds of nationality, so-called race, skin colour, origin or ethnic descent (charge A), and dissemination of ideas based on racial superiority or racial hatred (charge C). He was acquitted on the gender-related charge (B).

Outspoken European activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek summarized the dangerous ruling:

Van Langenhove is asking for donations to help him pay hundreds of thousands of Euros in court fees.

Can Europe be saved?
