WE WILL MARCH ON BERKELEY today despite cancellation #weshallovercome

15

Despite Berkeley’s cancellation of Free Speech week, we will be going to Berkeley and taking a stand in defense of free speech. Clearly Berkeley has a free speech problem if it felt it had to designate this academic year its “Year of Free Speech,” and create a website devoted to free speech. This cancellation is further proof that free speech is all but dead at Berkeley and too many other college campuses. No opposing views are allowed — colleges aren’t institutions of higher learning anymore, they’re Antifa recruitment centers

Students at Berkeley have staged anti-free speech protests leading up to Milo’s free speech week. Imagine that — anti-free speech protests.

Our young people have been destroyed — their ability to think annihilated by the evil indoctrination of leftist ideology in the public school and college campus.

I will be there. And I will talk about my  new book, FATWA: Hunted in America — my story of living under constant death threat because of my work in defense of freedom of speech. If we can’t speak out against injustice and evil, those forces will prevail. Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society.

UC Berkeley issued a statement Saturday evening indicating that it was aware of our plans to speak and that the school was “putting measures in place to ensure the safety of the campus community.”  Safety from whom, exactly? From the monsters Berkeley created.

‘Free Speech Is at Risk on College Campuses’: Undeterred Milo Yiannopoulos to Hold Rally at UC Berkeley

By Rhea Mahbubani, NBC News, September 24, 2017:

Milo Yiannopoulos didn’t mince any words Saturday, saying he will speak at UC Berkeley “come hell or high water.”

The self-proclaimed troll is in the Bay Area to headline Free Speech Week, organized by student group Berkeley Patriot and slated to run Sept. 24 and Sept. 27. That plan went up in smoke Saturday when the student group withdrew its sponsorship of the four-day conservative political event.

Yiannopoulos hosted a strongly-worded Facebook Live, flanked by political commentator Pamela Geller and Infowars host Mike Cernovich, saying he was “disappointed to have been completely blindsided” by Berkeley Patriot’s letter to the university’s Interim Vice Chancellor Stephen Sutton, detailing why the “mutated” Free Speech Week was being called off.

“I do understand their fears and they are right on all counts when they say UC Berkeley is threatening their educational futures,” he said. “But we cannot host an official university event without a student sponsor.”
Yiannopoulous blasted UC Berkeley for having “hypocritically named this academic year its ‘Year of Free Speech.’”

“The administration has done everything in its power to crush its own students’ aspirations,” he said. “UC Berkeley may have a deservedly poor reputation for free speech, and its students will graduate knowing less than when they came in as freshmen, but you have to give the school credit: they are masters of bureaucratic dirty dealing.”

VIDEOBerkeley Patriot Says ‘Free Speech Week’ Will Happen
Yiannopoulos lashed out at university officials, who he said “leaked” Free Speech Week’s speaker list to “domestic terrorists” like Antifa.

He also decried the narratives that the “Berkeley Patriots were hopelessly disorganized” and that he “somehow knowingly allowed fans to spend money travelling to Berkeley” despite suspicions that the event would be axed.

That said, Yiannopoulos said he was undeterred in his plan to express his First Amendment rights at the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement. The former Breitbart News editor’s attempt to speak at UC Berkeley in February came to a screeching halt when masked rioters began vandalizing property and lighting fires.

In their capacity as citizens with the constitutional right to express their views, Yiannopoulos and other speakers will rally at Sproul Plaza at 12 p.m. Sunday at what has been dubbed a March for Free Speech. Over 140 people had expressed interest as of Saturday evening.

“We will proceed no matter what, in whatever format we can, to realize the promise of Free Speech Week and send a message that conservatives will not be bowed by pressure from academics, the media or anyone else,” Yiannopoulos said.

Yiannopoulos said that the Berkeley Police Department knows of his plan and will be “out in full force,” patrolling Sproul Plaza.

Despite being miffed at Berkeley Patriot for pulling the plug on Free Speech Week, Yiannopoulos said he plans to endow the group with $10,000 – dubbed the Mario Savio Free Speech Fund. Berkeley “needs a strong, populous, free-speech loving conservative publication,” he said.

Yiannopoulos contined: “Free Speech is at risk on college campuses like never before in America’s history.”

Berkeley Bracing for More Protests During Free Speech Week

Yiannopoulos also asked people who bought plane tickets, reserved hotel rooms or spent money in any other form to attend Free Speech Week to send him their receipts and confirmation. “We will take care of you,” he said, alluding to a surprise at Sunday’s rally.
“I deeply appreciate the efforts freedom-loving Americans have gone to in order to support this event and I am personally grateful to the fans who came in from all four corners of the earth,” he wrote on Facebook. “I want you to know that I share your frustration with the administration and with the media, and that I will take care of you. Berkeley did this to you, but I’m going to fix it.”
Ann Coulter was meant to be the recipient of the Mario Savio Award for Free Speech, Yiannopolous said, admitting that he considered smashing it on the steps to Sproul Plaza “to declare that free speech at Berkeley is dead.” Instead, he will safeguard it.

“We will be back. I will get Ann Coulter here … I will get Uncle Steve back. I will get all of the people that you were looking forward to seeing here,” Yiannopoulos promised.

He then invited UC Berkeley’s Chancellor Carol Christ and University of California President Janet Napolitano to debate with him or any conservative of their choice on the issue of free speech.

“It’s high time that America had its big showdown free speech debate,” Yiannopoulos said.
Milo Yiannopoulos Lashes Out After Cal Event Nixed

Anyone hoping the demise of Free Speech Week means they won’t have to hear about him anymore will be disappointed, Yiannopoulos added, since he is launching an international Troll Academy tour.

In California, he will speak at Cal State Bakersfield on Oct. 25, at San Diego State University on Oct. 29 and at Cal State Fullerton on Oct. 31.

PHOTOS: Protests Erupt at Yiannopoulos Event
Some universities welcome speakers with controversial points of view, while some don’t, Yiannopoulos said, but “the vast majority do not possess the resources, clout, and pure malevolent evil of UC Berkeley.”

Yiannopoulos also revealed that he is launching a publishing house called “Dangerous Books,” which will publish Geller’s next book, “Fatwa: Hunted in America.”

Returning to the issue at hand, Yiannopoulos said: “We will go through this madness, and we will do it again and again and again, until conservative speakers are given the same rights and privileges as their left-wing counterparts at every college in the country,” he said on Facebook. “I will not rest until every student in America feels able to share their politics openly and proudly without fear of being marked down on essays, laughed at in the classroom or punished for inviting their speaker of choice.”

UC Berkeley issued a statement Saturday evening indicating that it was aware of Yiannopoulos’ plans to speak and that the school was “putting measures in place to ensure the safety of the campus community.” The university also advised people in attendance on Sunday to avoid violence.

“Our campus will not tolerate acts of violence or the destruction of property, and the UCPD will dutifully investigate, arrest, and prosecute anyone who commits crimes on our campus,” a statement from the university read.

Agree. Left/Liberal/feminazis with their jihadi friends will impose sharia everywhere if there is no resistance to such stupidity.

Just like they banning a Model on Instagram for being too hot and sexy http://bit.ly/2v09Kyv

And if you scroll down you’ll find video of professor in australia who wants fitness ads banned as they affect “male gaze ”

CAN IT get more Ridiculous ?

It comes as no surprise to me that the left and ultra liberal believers out there have used their influence and “power” to terminate the planned free speech event at Berkeley. The termination, at least to me, is continuing evidence that if one does not agree with the thoughts of another, the way to avoid hearing those thoughts are to shout them down or simply do not allow any of those thoughts to be spoken. The fact that this is continuing to happen at the so-called schools of higher learning is what to me is mortifying. I have stated on numerous occasions that the only speech that should be terminated is speech which preaches or promotes violence against anyone’s physical well being or property, as that to me is criminal and ought to be prosecuted. The Bill of Rights concept of free speech is hundreds of years old. It was formally adopted here in 1789 and applied to all of our governments and its people by the 14th Amendment which adopted the concept that all citizens shall have due process under the law wherever they are within our borders. The movement that shuts down free speech is a “cancer” that intends to wipe out the rights granted us citizens in the BILL of RIGHTS. We must not let that happen. The left liberals must come to understand that their conduct is fostering that awful result, and that if they continue to allow it they will ultimately suffer the consequences of this “cancer” that will adversely affect this great country. When will they accept that reality?

Sue the university AND the city. Just do it, it’s pretty well documented that your civil rights were violated repeatedly.

I have read the comment below which advises opening YouTube videos posted on this site in other window to avoid the company charging Ms Geller. I was not aware this happened, probably quite naive of me, but perhaps you need to advice the site readers of this fact.

“Our campus will not tolerate acts of violence or the destruction of property, and the UCPD will dutifully investigate, arrest, and prosecute anyone who commits crimes on our campus,” a statement from the university read”. The preceding statement is form berelkley’s course on muslim fundamentals. “taqiyya 101” there are 6 parts to the series,
• Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam. [
• Kitman: deceit by omission.[6]
• Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.[7]
• Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).[8]
• Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).[9]
• Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia in order that Muslim immigrants appear “moderate”.
The successful completion of this course entitles the student for a discounted membership in the democrat party and an extra vermin upon their death, if they convert to islam.

The book looks great and I can’t wait to read it.

The cover is gorgeous. I haven;t bought any of Pam’s books but this one I promise to buy…if I don’t lose my job lol Definitely buying this book.

Can we buy the book at a book store or is Pamela Geller making appearances so that we can get her to autograph it?

Hope the book is a bestseller because her story is truly amazing, a story of courage and inspiration.
