She will be serving four and a half months in jail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Judge Snow has no legal basis for jailing a person specifically for&nbsp;comments critical of the Holocaust, he was able to exploit an open-ended and subjective&nbsp;&#8220;gross offense&#8221; law&nbsp;to punish Chabloz for comments questioning the&nbsp;Auschwitz gas chamber narrative and how the Jewish community uses the Holocaust story for political and financial gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vaguely defined &#8220;gross offense&#8221; law is often&nbsp;exploited by political actors to suppress critics of privileged groups and powerful interests. A police officer is currently being tried in British court for the &#8220;gross offense&#8221; of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2021\/03\/20\/policeman-sent-grossly-offensive-george-floyd-meme-to-colleagues-14275086\/\">sending a George Floyd joke<\/a>&nbsp;in a private WhatsApp chat. Free speech in the United Kingdom is not a guaranteed right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snow&#8217;s treatment of Chabloz fits a pattern. Many believe the district judge&nbsp;is primarily concerned with being a thuggish proxy for the powerful rather than enforcing the law and protecting people&#8217;s rights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One high profile example is judge Snow&#8217;s behavior while overseeing&nbsp;the Julian Assange case in 2019. In order&nbsp;to please the US&nbsp;Department of Justice, Snow ruled that the Australian journalist&nbsp;be held in custody to be&nbsp;tortured in solitary confinement at&nbsp;a high security prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the trial &#8212; ostensibly over Assange jumping&nbsp;bail in 2012 &#8212; Snow&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/londonlovesbusiness.com\/julian-assange-shockingly-told-to-get-over-to-us-by-judge\/\">taunted<\/a>&nbsp;and berated the prisoner of conscience, referring to&nbsp;him as &#8220;laughable&#8221; and a &#8220;narcissist.&#8221;&nbsp;During one hearing, he&nbsp;demanded Assange&nbsp;&#8220;get over to the US&#8221; and &#8220;get on with your life.&#8221; Former ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray has referred to&nbsp;judge Snow as a corrupt, politically motivated&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/consortiumnews.com\/2019\/04\/15\/assanges-judge-a-disgrace-to-the-bench-former-uk-ambassador-says\/\">&#8220;disgrace.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The climate for open discussion and social criticism in Britain is virtually indistinguishable from third world&nbsp;totalitarian nations. Judge Snow and other high ranking figures in the UK know the public stigma of running&nbsp;kangaroo courts that imprison people based on what wealthy Jews say offends them, but in 2021, these &#8220;liberals&#8221;&nbsp;no longer&nbsp;care what the people think.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK: Political Judge Sentences Woman To Jail For Calling Holocaust A &#8220;Cash Cow&#8221; Eric StrikerApr 4, 2021&nbsp;|&nbsp;600 words&nbsp;&nbsp;1,498MORE:CURRENT EVENTS alison-chabloz.jpg &#8216;I&#8217;m not sentencing you on the basis that you are anti-Semitic, I&#8217;m not sentencing you on the basis that you &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/?p=6042\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[744,34,27],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6042"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6042"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6043,"href":"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6042\/revisions\/6043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
