Facebook bans Australian freedom fighter and candidate for unspecified “hate speech”

25

We are seeing an unprecedented erosion in our First Amendment rights, increasingly prohibiting the flow of ideas and free expression in the public square (social media). Run by left-wing self-possessed snowflakes, social media giants are indulging their worst autocratic impulses. And because they can, it is getting worse. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Having been one of the early targets of social media censorship on Facebook, YouTube et al, I have long advocated for anti-trust action against these bullying behemoths.

Facebook has launched many attacks against this site. It labeled my site as “spam” and removed every Geller Report post — thousands upon thousands of them, going back years – from Facebook. It also blocked any Facebook member from sharing links to the Geller Report. The ramping up of the shutting-down of sites like mine is neither random nor personal. The timing is telling. The left is gearing up for the 2018 midterm elections, and they mean to shut down whatever outlet or voice that helped elect President Trump, the greatest upset in left-wing history.

We can’t let this happen.

Last night I received this appalling message from Deborah Robinson of the Australian Liberty Alliance:

Avi Yemini, the outspoken political activist from Melbourne and Victorian state candidate for Australian Liberty Alliance, has been banned by Facebook Inc for unspecified ‘hate’ speech. Avi Yemini’s Facebook page had over 170,000 followers and attracted between two and three million views per week.

This attack on a registered political party’s candidate highlights Australia’s growing problem with censoring the truth and shutting down our basic human right to speak freely. Censorship and the deliberate meddling in the political process by Facebook Inc is cause for serious concern not only in Australia.

The ALA’s Facebook page adds:

Facebook Inc took down Avi’s page – no specific reason was provided. Avi and the party will follow all available avenues to address this censorship of political opinions by some faceless islamophile staffer.

Follow Avi here and on YouTube and Twitter for now. Make sure to SHARE this shocking news with everyone. We will post updates as news become available.

The banning of the Australian freedom fighter by Facebook is not shocking. So-called social media sites have one goal, propagating Liberalism’s tenets; anti-Democratic, anti-Semitic/Israel, Christianity and other faiths, excluding Islam.
Facebook and censorship are one of the same; no one must dare to criticize the faux-Religion of Peace, the Cult of Annihilation, and wantonness.

Zuckerberg’s creation is a platform disseminating progressive liberalism’s contempt for The First Amendment, all democratic principles. He is in step with the perfidious like of the Democrats, the EU, UK, Canada, Australia and other mock Western Democracies. Professing diversity is a ruse utilized by Facebook, its counterparts, and governments as mentioned earlier. Anyone thinking or retorting Liberalism’s maxim is censored, bullied, assaulted or all of the mentioned. Australia is not an anomaly; the West’s democracies are a delusion; as are Freedom of Speech, thought, religion, excepting Islam. Totalitarian and despotic leadership has tossed aside the Constitutional Rights and Human Rights of the people not of the Progressive, Islamic diktat or ethos.

Zuckerberg Classmate Reveals the Lie That Started His Entire Empire
BY BENJAMIN ARIE
APRIL 19, 2018 AT 1:20PM

“You’re in charge of your own data. There’s nothing to worry about.”

That, in so many words, was the basic message of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg during his recent testimony in front of Congress. Zuck faced tough questions as part of the fallout from recent scandals, but one of the original users of his social network just dropped a bombshell about how long those problems have existed.

Julia Carrie Wong was among the first people to join Facebook back in 2004. She was also a classmate of Zuckerberg at Harvard University, where the social network famously began.

“I was one of Facebook’s first users. I shouldn’t have trusted Mark Zuckerberg,” declared Wong in a recent feature published by The Guardian, a widely respected British newspaper.

In the scathing article, Wong accused the now-famous CEO of lying to the early members of the site… and of continuing the same lie today.

“Last week, Zuckerberg was called to answer for himself. Over the course of two days of questioning before Congress, Zuckerberg sought to assure the public that we, not he, are in ‘complete control’ of our relationships with Facebook,” Wong explained.

“He repeated this guarantee dozens of times, returning again and again to the idea that users can control their Facebook data,” she continued.

In the former Harvard student’s view, Zuckerberg’s assurances to Congress were the same as his early promises when Facebook was run from a dorm on campus. Both then and now, she insists, the central promise is tragically untrue.

“But the Zuckerberg of 2018 sounds suspiciously like the ‘Mark E Zuckerberg ’06’ who was interviewed by the Harvard Crimson on 9 February 2004 about his brand new website,” she wrote.

“It was this article that prompted my roommates and me to start entrusting a stranger behind a computer screen with the keys to our identities: names, birthdates, photographs, email addresses, and more,” Wong continued.

During the 2004 interview with the student newspaper — a quaint time when Facebook boasted about “hundreds” of users — a fresh-faced Mark Zuckerberg assured his classmates that privacy was in their hands.

“There are pretty intensive privacy options,” he told the paper. “People have very good control over who can see their information.”

The woman who had a front-row seat to the explosive growth of Facebook isn’t buying it.

“Zuckerberg was lying then and he’s lying now,” she declared. “We do not have ‘complete control’ and we never have, as evidenced by the fact that even people who never signed up for Facebook have ‘shadow profiles’ created without their consent.”

“He has been getting away with this same spin for 14 years, two months, and eight days,” the former classmate of Zuckerberg continued.

As evidence of that “spin,” Wong recalled instant messages that were sent between Mark Zuckerberg and one of her Harvard friends during the early days of Facebook.

“During those first few weeks of Facebook’s existence, while he was assuring his fellow college students that we could trust him with our identities, he had a private conversation on instant messenger with a friend,” wrote Wong. “That conversation was subsequently leaked, and published by Silicon Valley Insider. It is as follows:”

ZUCK: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard

ZUCK: just ask

ZUCK: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns

FRIEND: what!? how’d you manage that one?

ZUCK: people just submitted it

ZUCK: i don’t know why

ZUCK: they “trust me”

ZUCK: dumb f**ks

Wong then launched into her most scorching criticism of Zuckerberg and Facebook yet.

“In the intervening years, I’ve learned that Zuckerberg values his own privacy so much that he has security guards watching his trash, that he bought four houses surrounding his own house to avoid having neighbors, that he sued hundreds of Hawaiians to sever their claim to tiny plots of land within his massive Kauai estate, and that he secretly built tools to prevent further private messages from coming back to haunt him,” she ranted.

“What I haven’t learned, or seen any sign of, is that he has changed his opinion of the intelligence of his users,” Wong concluded. “It’s Zuckerberg’s world, and we’re all just a bunch of dumb f***s living in it.”

Social networks certainly have value, but they can also become colossal nightmares. Whether the pros outweigh the cons for Americans and conservatives on Facebook remains to be seen.

yes and we all can easily take back our countries , freedoms , sovereignty while ridding ourselves of islam and left/liberal/political correctness insanity (governments, media etc.)- if we all grow some balls and brains and SHUT OFF THE TAPS /PAY NO TAXES, abandon all the left media, internet sites etc., AND LET THEM ALL FALL!! NO MONEY, NO POWER!! However it appears people are quite simply too lazy, self centered, apathetic and ignorant therefore I don’t see anything changing anytime soon . As long as their little lives aren’t disturbed and they can continue to shop, shop, shop, all is well with the world – at least here in “canada”!

Egyptian Immigrant After Molesting 13 Women: I Didn’t Know It Was Wrong
BY BENJAMIN ARIE
AUGUST 2, 2018 AT 4:34PM

Are all cultures and belief systems equal?

Liberals often act as if the answer is yes, and take stances on multiculturalism and border enforcement that are shaped by this assumption.

Conservatives, in contrast, tend to believe that some cultures are incompatible with American and western values — and a disturbing case in Europe definitely reinforces that view.

A Muslim immigrant to Germany has been charged with committing more than a dozen sexual assaults and at least one rape over a period of three years.

Shockingly, he confessed to the crimes — which included groping women and fondling himself on busy subways — but gave a disturbing reason for his offenses.

During a court appearance, the suspect named Ali E. declared that he had no idea that sexually attacking women was illegal, because he could get away with it in his home country of Egypt.

“Nobody told me that this is wrong,” the 29-year-old man insisted, according to an English translation from the German newspaper BZ Berlin.

“In Egypt, things like that happen a lot, they do not punish them. I do not know any laws,” continued the accused criminal, despite the fact that he has been living in Europe for 15 years.

That excuse didn’t seem to impress the judge, who asked incredulously if Ali truly believed he could behave in that lewd manner. When claiming that it was allowed in Egypt didn’t work, the suspect listed a number of equally weak reasons for his crimes.

Completing this poll entitles you to Conservative Tribune news updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
The Muslim immigrant went on to blame “drugs, Satan and the interpreter,” according to the translated BZ Berlin article.

Yes, it turns out that even after a decade and a half in Germany, the Egyptian immigrant didn’t bother to learn his second country’s language, either.

As the news blog Jihad Watch pointed out, the man may have actually been honest when he insisted that he didn’t think sexually assaulting women was bad, as distasteful as that sounds.

“He is likely telling the truth,” said Robert Spencer, an expert on radical Islam who has authored several books.

“In Egypt, if a woman ventures out with her hair uncovered, she is risking being sexually assaulted. So he brought these attitudes to Germany. What else did anyone expect?” he asked.

That’s a very good question, and one that gets to the core of the left’s flawed views on multiculturalism and mass immigration.

Bumper-sticker slogans like “diversity is our strength” and “coexist” only work if the people involved actually share the same basic values. When outsiders have radically different beliefs about acceptable behavior, however, chaos ensues.

Sharia-based Islam is one of those radical beliefs. One look at the consequences of out-of-control immigration from predominantly Islamic countries to places like Germany, Sweden and even the United Kingdom make that immensely clear.

Although leftist professors in elitist colleges might disagree, the reality is that there are dramatically different cultural standards between most Middle Eastern countries and the west. Some of them are fundamentally incompatible with our values … and when immigrants like Ali are imported en masse, it is often women and girls who are most hurt.

This certainly doesn’t mean that Muslims cannot live successfully in the west; millions of law-abiding Muslim Americans do so every day in the United States. What it does mean, however, is that the culture and environment from which immigrants come must be a serious consideration.

Europe is not Egypt, and neither is America. Until officials on both continents realize that unvetted immigration has real-world consequences, more people will be needlessly put at risk … and that, perhaps, is the real crime.

Perhaps it is Facebook itself that should be banned. It seems to care more about anti-Islam content than actual threats to our society, such as Islamic State content.

For those saying ban/boycott Facebook, that’s fine-I almost never use it myself. However there are over 2 billion FB users, that’s a massive market and a way to educate people very rapidly.

So as much as I hate the social media giants, I think freedom-fighters must battle to remain on these platforms and have our message heard because it’s so much easier to reach millions of people this way.

Only those of us who are savvy will seek out great people like Pam and Robert Spencer but millions are not so proactive and are still in the dark/never heard about them. Or all they know is the lies the media spreads about anti-Islam activities. All the more reason to tap into every resource we can to get the word out.

I hope one day we’ll see our politicians declare Islam an enemy ideology that doesn’t belong in any free nation and that they’ve banned it and deported Muslims but that won’t happen overnight or by itself. It will take the effort of millions of people working towards that goal, educating and pushing our politicians to fight against Islam and defend our freedoms.

Speaking of which, while what happened to Tommy was terrible, it also sparked the pro-freedom revolution in the UK, where tens of thousands marched and demanded he was freed. The govt, media, cops and Muslims all know now that millions of people have Tommy’s back and that we all oppose Islam.

I also noticed some Leftist media sites tone down their usual vicious hateful vitriol against Tommy. Either because they’re afraid of our movement or they’re finally beginning to realize that he really was a political prisoner after all, hard to say.

Hopefully if we educate enough Liberals and more Conservatives our movement will grow until our message becomes dominant in western countries and the vast majority of people will agree with us perspective. Then it’ll be very easy to get rid of Islam. Till then we have to use any means at our disposal to spread the word.

the entire western world is lost to left/liberal political correctness madness! We are all committing suicide via the above indoctrination/brainwashing from every government, politician, school, media and so on. The rest of the globe is already done and if we don’t put a halt to this insanity we are all done.
Again, this cult has been at war with the world and themselves since the beginning of time yet for some reason (seems to be more since 9/11) the entire western world has welcomed them in with open arms, wallets and hearts and empowered them by exempting them from assimilation, the laws, working and paying their share while they enforce all which destroyed their lands upon us.
In short, they are making a mockery of us as they laugh all the way to the banks and the courts ensuring their rights , freedoms and entitlements are secure while we are being denied, oppressed, silenced and destroyed/eradicated . If I had wanted to live as they do, I would have moved to their part of the globe however I stayed in what used to be my free, democratic, sovereign, prosperous nation and now am being controlled, ruled and overthrown by them – here in what used to be my country, THE FORMER CANADA, now a border-less,lawless, leaderless, post national, third world islamic terrorist ridden sewer!

Facebook, Twitter, are designed for only two types of people.. Narcissistic assholes who demand followers, and lonely depressed people who simply have to follow someone else.. .

Luckly 50% of Americans are cat people.
Cat people cannot stand following someone else, because they blaze their own trail in life… Cat people cannot stand being followed either.
Cat people is everyone who refuses to twitter and tweet because they know their smarter than a bird.

Besides anti-trust suits against Facebook, Google and Twitter, can we bring a “hate speech” case to the SCOTUS? Getting “hate speech” legally discredited in the US will eventually have an effect on other western countries — hopefully in time.
