Kifkif.be, a Brussels-based website lavishly subsidized by the Belgian (Flemish and Brussels Regional) authorities and by the King Baudouin Foundation (which is controlled by the Belgian royal family), censored a reader's comment linking to the Fjordman article In Praise of the First and Second amendments which was published on our website yesterday.
On the kifkif forum a certain Corneel remarked that the Fjordman text makes him wonder whether The Brussels Journal might be right. The link was removed and replaced by the message
"link naar xenofobe en provocerende tekst verwijderd door moderatie” (Link to xenophobic and provoking text removed by moderator) and Corneel was warned:
"Corneel, je weet dat linken naar dergelijke teksten van dergelijke sites niet mogen gepost worden!” (Corneel, you know that it is forbidden to link to that kind of texts on that kind of sites!)
Kifkif does not want to lose its subsidies.
