Pamela Geller is heading to CPAC ….. yes, you read that right. After five long years, we’re back at CPAC, and, as always, with a panel that addresses one of the most urgent issues of the day:
This week at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2018, my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), organized a blockbuster event, hosted by American Principles Project (APP). The groundbreaking panel discussion addresses social media giants’ rapidly accelerating attempts to shut down conservatives and deny a voice to everyone who dissents from the hard-left agenda.
GELLER: Social Media Censorship Panel at CPAC — James Damore, Harmeet Dillon, Pamela Geller, James O’Keefe, Jim Hoft, Dan Gainor
Breitbart News, February 19, 2018:
Story continues below advertisementSuppression of Conservative Views on Social Media: A First Amendment Issue
It will be the hottest event at CPAC (after Trump, that is).
Major social media platforms such as Google, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube have created the new town square, having become the primary portals through which Americans receive news today. On these platform, the Left has a monopoly. The social media giants are moving actively to erase and hide any viewpoint or person that does not conform to the “progressive” values for which they stand.
This has resulted in massive losses of readership and revenue for conservative sites, and endangers the very freedom of our Republic by allowing only one point of view to be aired. The social media corporations today hold more power over the public discourse than any totalitarian regime ever held. They do not just target voices with whom they disagree, but they make sure that those voices are unable to sustain themselves.
This panel will discuss the magnitude of this phenomenon, and discuss ways that the power of these Leftist social media outlets can be limited, such that voices that dissent from the hard-Left agenda can again be freely heard.
February 23, 2018, 3:00 pm Chesapeake B-C
Panelists will include:
James Damore, Google whistleblower
Harmeet K. Dhillon, renowned free speech attorney
Dan Gainor, Vice President for Business and Culture, Media Research Center
Pamela Geller, Editor and Publisher, Geller Report, President, American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and author of Fatwa: Hunted in America
Jim Hoft, Editor-in-Chief, Gateway Pundit
James O’Keefe, Project Veritas
Marlene Jaeckel, Tech entrepreneur
America, the world’s first government based on individual rights and personal liberty, should be on the forefront of the defense of freedom of speech across the world, the light among nations, the “shining city on a hill.” Instead, social media giants, run by uniformly leftwing corporate managers, have become the new totalitarians. This evokes the worst totalitarian regimes in the history of the world. Never in modern history has such immense power been in the hands of so few.
Panelist James O’Keefe added: “Social media giants in Silicon Valley have quickly become the world’s most powerful media gatekeepers, even more powerful than the mainstream media. We exposed Twitter for silencing and shadow banning people they do not agree with, and propagated their preferred views for political and financial purposes.”
Panelist Dan Gainor added: “Tech/social media companies are vastly more powerful than their old media predecessors in print and TV ever were. We’ve already seen some of the dangers of what happens when that power is abused. This isn’t just a panel discussion about what might happen. This is a wake-up call for the entire conservative movement.”
Another panelist, Jim Hoft, observed: “2016 was the first election where conservatives fled the liberal mainstream media. After decades of smears and abuse they found the truth in conservative media online. Today there are forces working to make sure this does not happen again. It’s time to stand up before it’s too late.”
This groundbreaking panel discussion follows on the heels of Can’t We Talk About This? The Islamic Jihad Against Free Speech, our shocking new film detailing the concerted effort by international organizations to compel the U.S. and other Western countries to curtail the freedom of speech and criminalize criticism of Islam.
This issue — the suppression of the freedom of speech on social media — affects all of us on the right. In fact, it is the most critical issue of the day: if we are stripped of the means to communicate with one another, it’s all over. It was free people speaking freely on social media, outside of the reach of the media establishment, that got Donald Trump elected President of the United States. When the left lost the election, they lost their mind.
We must not allow the left to strip us of the weapons we used to win that victory. That’s what we’ll be fighting for at CPAC.

I’m sure Keith Ellison is hot under the collar.
I’m sure plenty of republicans are also upset.
Yeah, the RINOs, and there are enough of those phony conservatives
No one has called for Keith Ellison’s resignation as DNC co-chair.
So the DNC is co-chaired by an associate of the Nation of Islam.
On that alone, let’s remember why we should vote republican in november!

Facebook “Intellectually Terrorizes” a Human Rights Activist https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/02/facebook-intellectually-terrorizes-a-human-rights-activist
No, FB does not want hate on its pages.
FB does not want conservatives on Facebook.
They justify their biased censorship by calling conservative posts hate.
There is sufficient objective evidence to prove that social media platforms are censoring conservatives–with the approval of the far-left I might add. It is such a delicious irony that the loony leftists who claim they are for free speech behave like fascists.
There is only one Cultural Marxist narrative allowed–all others are wrongthink.
Facebook is Evil.
But you are just ignorant, gullible, and smug Katty.
Perhaps you will grow to be evil with more effort, Kitty.

I wonder if Kat Mandu is related to the Jihadist formerly known as Cat Stevens.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYnWtPytvhI
66% of Muslims in Brittan will NOT report a terrorist to the police; but there are some like Cat Stevens who say they will call Ayatollah Khumenie if they see Salman Rushdie.
hate, ‘amputate hands’ https://quran.com/5/38-40
Agree. Did you know Like facebook , twitter, even Google has joined Islamofascist gang http://tinyurl.com/lgp28rs
To censor conservative and Anti-jihadi news to push the islamisation agenda of the Left/Liberal/jihadis funded by saudi/qataris
And conservatives don’t want to fund the alternative media, nor unite to pursue the issue politically or legally then act surprised their First amendment is not getting up and fighting for them !
I have DELETED my Facebook & Twitter Accounts because they are Censoring any & ALL Conservative Comments, BUT the LibTURDS can do or say ANYTHING they want, including calling for Violence! The NAZI Zuckerburg and all of his GESTAPO minions needs to be SHUT DOWN. It is time for a full on BOYCOTT of these Websites!
I have gone to MeWe.com where there is NO Censorship! NONE! A lot of my Friends have joined me there too. MAGA @ MeWe.com
The problem is, your windbag conservative friends won’t do this. Conservatives beat their chest online claiming they support free speech, and yet they continually crawl back to facebook after every ban, because why? Because likes on the selfie has meant more to conservatives than free speech since the creation of facebook.
The only reason Facebook has done this, and Google, is because Conservatives supported them every step of the way, and the conservative media turned a blind eye because of how much money they made. That’s so patriotic isn’t it?
I block all ads on these annoying sites, and support (very modestly) a number of excellent Conservative sites, plus, as an individual poster, I don’t make a dime from – nor spend a dime on – these so-called money-making websites (FB, Twitter, etc.).
There is PLENTY of Room in the “Wind-Bag” section for you!
Watch out, we got a tough guy behind a keyboard.
Actually, I really don’t use or to to Facecrap very much anymore (never did, actually); but from time to time, I like to post great conservative articles to both FB and Twitter. Mostly, they don’t censor my stuff, but FB did reject something not long ago. No problem. I just keep posting and know that A LOT still goes through, thank God!
NO, it does not “go through” Sweetheart!
What in hell are you talking about?!? Do YOU know all the articles – and most NOT from Geller! – that I might have posted to Facecrap? Your remark was stupid and totally unnecessary – and, in fact, not at all true!! Only a few from Geller (actually, only 2 or 3 at most) were censored! Stick to something you actually KNOW, “Sweatfart!!”
Thank you for the tip. I will switch to that too. Facebook and twitter have both banned me for good for posting conservative posts like the Geller Report and Jihad watch
Domestic terrorism through internet censoring and banning. Good topic for discussion, face book and twitter can provide examples.
But is the left the puppet or the puppet master? Because it seems to me the left are only implementing censorship on behalf of only one totalitarian, fascist, vile, violent, Jew hating death cult.
90% of Brits have never been in a Mosque.
Yesterday over 200 Mosques opened their doors to the public.
One visitor, 72-year-old David, had never been to a Mosque before and said: “I wanted to educate myself. It has changed my views. I thought none of them wanted to integrate, but they’re not like that at all. And the food is good.”
Oh yes–walking into a mosque will suddenly change your mind and convince you that Islam is OK after all? Only if you are an empty headed bimbo.
You are deluded. To Islam–all kafirs are inferior, and lack all rights under Sharia–unless they pay a head tax–then there are some small privileges allowed–like keeping your head.
I am always amazed at the gullibility and willful ignorance of people in the Western world–especially women, who are most at risk.
I have closely interacted with Muslims from most Muslim countries, and I can tell you that most ‘appear’ just like ordinary people in public–as long as they are in a minority. But you would be shocked at what they actually believe, and how they talk among themselves about kafirs.
Muslims despise non-believers–and every Muslim believes that one day the entire world will be Muslim. They don’t much care how that occurs–so if it requires conquest–Muslims are good with that.
You know that lie about the Muslim youth who is ‘radicalized’ after reading a few radical internet sites–and suddenly he turns into a mass murderer? They were already radicalized by Islam from birth.
ISIS is just a more devout form of Islam. Wherever you have Muslims–you have ticking time bombs. The next time a Muslim has a personal problem, and seeks answers by becoming more devout–bingo, there is your next mass murderer.
The point is that this hateful ideology is embedded within the religion. There will be no Muslim Reformation which softens Islam. There is no living with Islam–only dying from Muslim jihadis.
By the way–The Guardian is a propaganda outlet for the globalist far-left–and you think anyone of even a modicum of intelligence would trust this Cultural Marxist rag for anything but bird cage liner?
Ha ha!
Katty, I would be willing to bet big money that you have never read the koran or the hadiths and that you know nothing of the details of Islamic conquests throughout history.
You far-left extremists defend Islam without even knowing anything about it.

Walking into a mosque is now considered real academic research.
There is no real journalism on the left, just political correctness about “feeling good”.
“And the food is good.”
This too now qualifies as “intellectual research’.
this is how pathetic journalists and academics have become.
FAKE NEWS! FAKE RESEARCH!
66% of British MUSLIMS said they would NOT report someone who supported terrorism.
(This report was made by the man who actually coined the phrase ISLAMA-PHOBIA, but he wanted to dig deeper beyond the political correctness and see if the fears were justified).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQcSvBsU-FM
Walking into a mosque so you can feel good about yourself isn’t good academic research.
And in other parts of Europe, SWEDEN has one of the highest ISIS recruitment rates per Capita in Europe; according to a BBC report.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_7puwX_Pw4
The ISIS radicalism in Sweden is in the Somali community. Just like the Somali community in Minnesota has the highest ISIS recruitment rate in the US.
Somalia is on the Trump ban, just like North Korea is on the ban, for security reasons. Give the President credit. He was right again.
The lesson here is: RADICALISM is NOT anecdotal, it is indoctrinated and ORGANIZED!
MSM, Silicon Valley: The Stasi of our times.
Looks good…hope you post it on YouTube!
Pamela, may God be with you and your fellow freedom fighters at CPAC next weekend!! I hope you post the panel discussion on this website, because EVERYONE within earshot of the Internet needs to listen to words of wisdom – and wake up!! So glad that you’re back at CPAC; but when it’s all over, let us in on the scuttlebutt of what might have gone on behind the scenes that resulted in this promising outcome!
Have you ever noticed that the same crybabies who try to manipulate the First Amendment are also the very same ones who are calling for constitutional changes eliminating the Electoral College due to Hillary’s loss and gutting the Second Amendment, FL school shooting notwithstanding?
Those in politics and the media who seek to deny the constitutional freedoms of self expression by others need to be reminded that those First Amendment guarantees are the very reason a free media and political discourse even exist in the first place.
There is no doubt they can win or are winning since SATAN (their father) is giving them the power. It’s the way it is ordained, if you read the Bible.
But heres one thing. They don’t know Satan (their father) is giving them the power. But guess who is giving the power to Satan??
Yeah, the Almighty himself. But guess which side he is really on? 😉
PAS FACILE D’ÊTRE MUSULMAN EN CE MOMENT EN FRANCE ET EN EUROPE http://fr.le360.ma/blog/le-coup-de-gueule/pas-facile-detre-musulman-en-ce-moment-en-france-et-en-europe-156637
WILL CSPAN SHOW THIS ? Have checked the schedule and it is not on…does anybody know/
Congratulations Pamela. But watch out for C-PAC. It’s become a haven for rigid Never-Trumpers who think outright Socialism is somehow better than what we’re getting from our flawed, but at least somewhat conservative, President. And look what they just did to Dinesh D’Souza over a couple of silly tweets. And remember how they’ve treated you and Milo in the past.
CASE IN POINT; I was just banned for 24 hours from FB for posting this meme showing the history of those who banned guns, all fascist dictators like Hitler and Mao. This is scary, outrageous and totally ridiculous, and there is nowhere to effectually protest or remove these bans. Now, FB is scrutinizing my news page and scrubbing it of all it deems “offensive,” which means any and all posts that do not comply with its leftist agenda. It conveniently labels them as “spam.” I am thoroughly appalled, more so at the fact that, somewhere, some hairy, leftist totalitarian wannabe is gleefully sitting in a basement somewhere, with greedy bug eyes aglow, rubbing their claws together and pushing away at the button that gives them so much power. Many of us are now using Gab, which has NO censorship. https://gab.ai/
