[ April 24, 2024 ]
I won't be at CPAC this year. Every year AFDI organizes a must-see event, addressing issues that the Grover Norquist/Suhail Khan cabal refuse to address (jihad, sharia, the war on freedom in the West).
This year, I applied to speak and was ignored. I tried to get a room for an AFDI event, "The War on Free Speech," and was ignored. So, for the first time in five years, I won't be at CPAC. Last year Suhail Khan bragged out loud that he (and his other operatives) had successfully kept Robert Spencer and me from being invited to speak. He went so far as to warn people not to attend our events or read our books.
In several articles I took on Grover Norquist and his powerful influence over CPAC, most notably weekly column never appeared at Newsmax again. It was axed.

Now this. I might add, every AFDI event at CPAC was standing room only. We turned people away every year.
Check out this Breitbart article — and read the comments.
"CPAC Turns Away Pamela Geller" Breitbart, March 2, 2013
For
the last four years, Pamela Geller of AtlasShrugs.com and the American
Freedom Defense Initiative have held events at CPAC featuring guests she
invites to discuss the influence of Islamism on America. But this year,
the American Conservative Union (ACU) has no room for Geller or her
message.
In 2009,
she brought Geert Wilders, who is the head of the third largest party
in the Netherlands and has spoken out against the Islamization of his
country.In 2010
she held an event that her organization, The American Freedom Defense
Initiative, hosted, titled "Jihad: The Political Third Rail", with
speakers like Allen West, Wafa Sultan, Simon Deng, Anders Gravers, and
Steve Coughlin.In 2011, she hosted an event discussing the Ground Zero Mosque with 9/11 families. In 2012, the event was titled "Islamic Law in America."
In years past, the events were standing room only thanks to their
popularity, but that apparently was not enough to counter pressure
brought to bear from somewhere to exclude Geller’s message.Geller and her coworkers recently won a court battle allowing them to
post ads that countered the #Myjihad ad campaign that posited that
jihad was a peaceful word. Yet despite the law's defense of her rights,
the ACU will not stand up for her against critics.Geller explained the intention of her advertisements in a statement to Breitbart News:
Hamas-CAIR's ad campaign is a psyop.“#MyJihad” is a cynical,
misleading, and deceptive campaign designed to distract from and obscure
the true meaning of jihad that Muslims the world over understand and
all too many act upon. They're attempting to fool Americans into
thinking that jihad is about getting in your exercise and making
friends.My ads, in contrast, tell the truth about the jihad that too many
Muslims believe in and act upon, and the only jihad that Americans need
to be concerned about. They're designed to tell the truth about
jihad and lay bare CAIR's deceptions and lies.There have been over 20,000 jihad attacks since 9/11, each one
with the imprimatur of a Muslim cleric. And so I created a jihad
campaign speaking about the true meaning of jihad. Our new campaign
focuses on how jihadists really use the texts and teachings of Islam to
justify violence and supremacism. It uses actual quotes by jihadis and
Islamic supremacists, including Osama bin Laden and Turkey's Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as well as statements from Hamas TV and
one of the victims of the Fort Hood jihad massacre.One ad depicts Osama bin Laden and the burning Twin Towers along with
a bin Laden quote explaining why he took down the Twin Towers: “The
first thing we are calling you to is Islam.” Another quotes an
eyewitness to the jihad mass murders of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, noting
that he was shouting “Allahu akbar” as he murdered 13 Americans at Fort
Hood. Another quotes a Hamas TV music video including the lyric,
“Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah.” A fourth quotes
Times Square jihad car bomber Faisal Shahzad saying that jihad involving
“weaponry” was “an obligation and duty in Islam on every Muslim.”This usage of jihad as killing non-Muslims is much more influential
and widespread among Muslims worldwide than the benign and whitewashed
understanding of it being pushed by Hamas-CAIR. Also, the fact that some
Muslims don’t think of jihad as involving violence does not cancel out
the fact that many do. Our AFDI campaign shines the light of truth to
break through the fog of CAIR’s deceptions.
UPDATE: Donald Douglas has a great piece on this here.
These events were the freakin' pinnacle of the conference. Sheesh. What is wrong with this world? Now Pamela's banned? Unbe-freakin'-lievable.
Freedom Post decries CPAC for "closing the door on Geller" here.
UPDATE: Theo Spark asks, "Pamela's events were the freakin' pinnacle of the conference. Sheesh. What is wrong with this world? Now Pamela's banned?"

Thanks for posting this, Pamela; I had already read the Breitbart story on this subject, and commented on it in your favor. I hope everyone reading this story does the same. I was sorry I was not going to CPAC this year, until today when I found out they banned you. Now I am really glad I am not going. It is too bad what has happened to CPAC. I hope they wake up and get rid of Norquist and his lemmings.

It is a bad sign that CPAC will not allow you to speak and that Newsmax axed your column. Everyone who reads this should let both organizations know that your message has a wide and growing audience – it’s critical that it’s heard. I am appalled that they believe they can dismiss you so easily – big mistake.

Except for Pamela and Robert’s events, CPAC wasn’t very interesting anyway. I wonder if others are feeling the same about three days at CPAC where nothing new happens, no sea-change EXCEPT for movers and shakers like Geller and Spencer. No wonder they are banned… CPAC can’t handle the TRUTH!!

Thats okay. I back Pam Geller. She has the decency, tenacity, and courage to take on the 21st Century Nazis: the koranimals. F$#k CPAC. I will follow Geller who I disagree with on some issues, because I can trust her. She tells it like she sees it. Honest. More than you can say about Grover “the muzloid” Norquist.

Sean Hannity always corects his guests with “I am not a Republican…I am a Conservative”. I believe in Sean’s motto and that of Edward Daley, the author of that same subject-article.
The GOP is just as corrupt as the Dems. America has fallen as a Republic. Power has corrupted, what is to be the servants of the people, and replaced them with Demagogues of the people.
We are all to blame for this “D.C. diseasedness”…It is up to the People to cure this.
It is up to the people to divorce themselves from the gronyism and form their own Party of the Right to defeat the enemies of the Constitution.

Are the USA people going to sit on their backsides and just take this? Because, if they are, and they ignore this sharia intervention (virtually banning Pamela Geller from CPAC), then expect this treatment to escalate. It is bad enough the USA folk voted the biggest traitor in USA history, back into power. Fgs, what is left of your country, fight for it, before it is too late.

Pamela..I reserved a hotel room for CPAC BECAUSE I believed you would be there. I will go! I will TALK TALK TALK!!! There is more than 1 way to skin a cat!!! Anyone who has seen the Sophie Scholl story and understands what the White Rose Society did knows that there are many means possible to communicate a point….the Leaflets speak today even though the authors were beheaded for speaking the truth about Hitler. Warriors don’t let the “details” get in the way! You WILL be represented at CPAC! Yes you will!

Geert Wilders wanted to speak at CPAC a few years ago but they declined to give him time. Pam rented a room at the Omni Shoreham where CPAC was held and Wilders spoke there. Pam let me in to see him and I met lots of very real conservatives like Allen West. I always attended Pam’s and Bob’s events and they were among the highlights of the whole conference for me.
Hang in there Pam. Keep doing what you do. Don’t let this get you down.

This is good in one respect: it shows the clear direction of the wind.
In other words, it clearly reveals what I have stated for years: both parties, Left and Right are Islam sympathetic, at the minimum.
Indeed, each party moves towards the endgame at different speeds, at different times, different routes, but the fact is, if a party has Muslims “on board,” be assured, at least one, minimally, of the hands belonging to one of the Believers is working the reins. Therewith, directing and setting the pace of the express. One goal in mind: get there by hook or crook—the realization of the supremacy of Islam, worldwide.

The Norquist/Khan duo are undoubtedly behind this. I remember Khan’s expression during last year’s event when Pamela and Robert were confronting him asking questions he could not answer without exposing his real identity. At that very moment he must have sworn he would his best to block their appearance the following year.
I believe it’s time to do away with the GOP. They seem all to be in the deep petro dollar pockets of the enemy. Conservatives have to look somewhere else. These people would sell their own mothers to further their despicable careers.

One more point. I’m sure there are plenty of honest GOP members, but like the moderate Muslim who keep their mouths shut out of fear, these weak and dhimmi members of the GOP community are becoming progressively irrelevant in present day dicourse.

Grover Norquist and Suhal Khan threatened the Board members. If they allow Geller or Spencer to present negative viewpoints of Islam inside the meeting or unoffically outside the CPAC meeting, they would refuse to participate. That’s Sharia in action by Muslims inside the conservative movement.

You are really desperate. Geert Wilders’ former comrade Arnoud Van Doorn just converted to Islam, myjihad and others are letting Americans get to know true Islam (not just the lies and slander you and your ilk spread), and you are struggling to remain relevant as Americans realize your links to the Zionists that control the world banks and our every US political decision. You are a sad woman.
The killers and extremists you highlight in your “news” do not represent Islam, just as you definitely misrepresent Americans. You are a shame to true Americans and true conservatives.
If you want to know who Pamela works for, educate yourself and google: Rothschilds federal reserve. And read Nathan Lean’s book: the Islamophobia Industry.

To Reba:
Abu Baseer in London: “One of the goals of immigration is the revival of the duty of jihad and enforcement of power over the infidels. Immigration and jihad go together.
We know what founder, Mohammad, and the ideology of Islam teaches. You are wasting your time trying to DECEIVE infidels.
Koran 9:5 “Kill Jews and Christians wherever you find them”.
Founder of Islam, Mohammed: “I have been made victorious with terror”, “Wage war on the infidel and kill them until Islam is dominant” (Koran 8:39)

OK. Well for the first time in 4 years, I won’t give a CRAP about CPAC. What a loss. More evidence of claims that the stealth sharia is infiltrated.
Unbelievable. I try to follow the Holy Spirit leads, and this is how I discovered the works of Pamela and Robert. Thank you. I Love You. ALL.

And this is exactly what is going on in the UK. Islamic influence and infiltration in the UK has now embedded itself into most power structures ie government, (MP’s and MEP’s), political parties town councils, planning committees, Mayor positions etc, it is prevalent. Be warned, the USA is only a few feet behind the UK.

Hi Pam,
I haven’t always agreed with you. But, to suppress you and what you stand for, is straight up fascism.
You have my support.

There’s NO DOUBT Norquist is the one who ORDERED Pamela’s BANNING.
They surely used BULLY TACTICS to gain complete CONTROL of CPAC ,and had to have employed STRONG-ARM TACTICS to prevent the site from finding usable space for AFDI.
Folks, the BATTLE for the FUTURE is ON and the FIRST BATTLE to be won is the BATTLE FOR The REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The islamofascist noose is slowly tightening, strangling free speech and freedom of the press. I just wish I could see the amoral, corrupt lieberals (from both or either party) get their just reward from their islamofascist masters — the same reward the Iranian Communists received after the Iranian Islamic Revolution there.

11/28/12, “Grover Norquist is the problem with Washington DC, not the solution,” Poole, PJ Media
“In Sept 2003, Norquist was the main cheerleader and defender of the increases in government spending under President Bush and the GOP-controlled US House and Senate, claiming that these spending increases were to “make government more effective.“…His record also shows that he has no real regard for the conservative movement he tries to wrap himself up in, as demonstrated following the investigation, arrest and conviction of his pal Jack Abramoff, where the investigation showed that Norquist whored out the conservative movement to a wide variety of interests, including Indian casinos, Marianas Island sweat shops and nefarious foreign governments.”

You said of Geller, “The killers and extremists you highlight in your “news” do not represent Islam.”
Reba, your Prophet,the book he brought, his sunnah, and those that follow all the aforementioned represent Islam. And for that reason, Pamela has posted here a lineup of narratives in which Muslim were good Muslims, followed your prophet, his sunnah, and the book he brought.
