After being locked out of Facebook and asked to provide ID in order to get back in, I sent Facebook my driver’s license three times — but I heard nothing from them until I wrote earlier today “Facebook is no friend of the freedom of speech, and is especially tough on foes of jihad terror and the massive Muslim migrant influx into the West.” Pamela Geller tweeted the hashtag #ReinstateSpencer, and many, many people wrote to Facebook asking that they reinstate me.
The public pressure worked. I just received this message from Facebook: Hi Robert, It looks like your account was suspended by mistake. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience. You should now be able to log in. If you have any issues getting back into your account, please let me know.”
Make no mistake: this was no “mistake.” My main tech expert was locked out of Facebook on the same day — what a coincidence! If Facebook hadn’t been publicly called out for this, I seriously doubt I would have been reinstated. So a heartfelt thanks to all of you who contacted them. This whole episode shows that we must never let our guard down, and never let the authoritarian forces that are arrayed against us get away with anything without raising as much of an outcry as we possibly can. Cracks have opened up in the great edifice of lies that the political and media elites have been constructing for years. It is time to keep the pressure on.

Cynthia in California says
“Mistake,” my hind foot. But I’m so glad you were restored to your account (or perhaps your account was restored to you?).
A Harris USA says
Cynthia, this is just a sad case of a sad Jewish boy who has no clue how much the Muslim hordes want to kill HIM, and his family.. I have Jewish family members who say there are so many Jews that refuse to accept the fact that these savages have their death as a life long goal.. Denying the facts is the easy way out… Just like in WW II they got on the trains, and “obeyed” their Nazi masters!! Oh, it was easier to not face the facts, then to face and fight the evil.. Hence, history repeats it’s self!!!

A Message From Pastor Joseph Goebbels
I am writing on behalf of the Church of Adolf Hitler (pbuh), formerly known as the Nazi Party.
Having decided to transform ourselves into a religion, we have abandoned all political ambitions, and intend to concentrate on our objectives of spiritual tranquillity, non-violent world conquest and peaceful extermination of the Jews.
Since we are now a religion rather than a political movement, we demand the following rights and privileges:
An end to Naziphobia in the media, especially war films showing the Nazis in a bad light.
Tax exemption for all places of worship including airfields, munitions factories, extermination camps etc.
Destruction of all blasphemous cartoons of Adolf Hitler(pbuh) produced in the Second World War.
An apology from the British government for the Naziphobic campaign waged by Winston Churchill, and the hurt feelings inflicted on the Afrika Korps at El Alamein by the Naziphobic bigot Montgomery.
An apology from the American government for the insensitivity by the raging Naziphobe Eisenhower for failing to forewarn Nazi community leaders of the D-Day attack, which caused much distress among the peace-loving Nazis occupying of Northern France.
Burning ‘Mein Kampf’ must become a hate crime.
Application of our parallel legal system known as ‘The Gestapo’ within America.
Affirmative action to promote Nazis to high positions in the security services to maintain community cohesion.
The occasional Blitzkrieg invasions of sovereign states should not be portrayed in the media as being typical of Nazis as a whole, rather they are the work of a tiny minority of extremists who have hijacked a peaceful spiritual movement.
Peace in our time and Heil Hitler!
– Pastor Joseph Goebbels

I am so pleased this was flagged for moderation so I had a chance to read it. Thank you J Straw for making my day

Facebook is an enemy of liberty, and thus a facilitator of 1) the spiritual fascism which is Islam; and 2) the monumental stupidity and vapidity which is Leftism.
Yes indeed, quite a legacy Facebook is building for itself.
Custos Custodum says
Mark Zuckerberg is always on the look-out for somebody more powerful than himself to suck up to.
Facebook needs to be reminded that it is a de facto monopoly and a common carrier. As such, it is subject to extensive anti-trust laws and regulations.
Loretta Lynch’s DOJ has no doubt been turning a blind eye to FB’s violations, but this “safe space” is coming to an end. Apart from government action, FB is probably subject to private lawsuits by aggrieved parties including subscribers, shareholders, current and former staff, and even non-users whose information FB illegally collects and sells in violation of local privacy laws in many jurisdictions.
Privately, FB must be well aware that the legal dam may burst at any time. STAYING CLEAR OF CENSORSHIP may be an excellent idea at a time of increasing uncertainty.
epistemology says
Couldn’t agree more, dear Wellington, I get banned from facebook on a regular basis only for telling the truth about Islam. On the other hand when I report anti- Zionist hate speech or groups they don’t give a damn, they cant be bothered as they simply don’t care about anti-Semitism. But I don’t want to cancel my account, as I’ve got so many friends there including Robert and I found one Norwegian co-warrior who calls me on a regular basis and even went to see me at home he stayed there for several weeks. I think social networks are very important for our cause. As Robert put it:
“Cracks have opened up in the great edifice of lies that the political and media elites have been constructing for years. It is time to keep the pressure on.”
The fight must go on, dear friend hope you and yours are fine, take care.
Wellington says
Good to hear from you, epistemology. And yes, the fight goes on. To the end. Better dead than dominated by Muslims. Besides, I think the good guys have a good shot at winning. Take care, my friend.
Mirren10 says
”Make no mistake: this was no “mistake.”
As Jim Royle would say, ”mistake my arse”. 🙂
Excellent that everyone rallied, and Zuckerberg now has egg on his face !
” This whole episode shows that we must never let our guard down, and never let the authoritarian forces that are arrayed against us get away with anything without raising as much of an outcry as we possibly can.

Absolutely **spot on**.
Custos Custodum says
BTW Zuckerberg needs to remember that FB is a PUBLIC company, not his private plaything.
In Marxist terms, FB is one of the “means of production” that needs to be run in accordance with the real needs of the people.
gretel says
I can’t use fb. I never last long there coz I don’t like islam. I don’t bother with them anymore.
DFD says
Damn right, same with twitter. I never used them for precisely such reasons. They are well known, they report in Europe (not only Germany) to Bertelsman, who in turn report to, essentially, Maas and Kahane.
So it seems. The Facebook/Bertelsmann connection is well known.
I believe, based on hearsay, that there is a Russian service provider which is less ‘regulated’ than either twitter or facebook. Were ‘less regulated’ means it’s completely tolerant towards anti islamc views. Don’t have any links though.
Others….???
We live in interesting times, don’t we?
dsinc says
Try Gab. I havw joined but not yet used it.
Custos Custodum says
Russian FB equivalent is VK.com. Haven’t used it, but gather it’s comparable.
No doubt they spy on users almost as much as FB, but presumably they don’t VOLUNTARILY pass on every bit to the American NSA. (Of course, Russia’s own “NSA” is plugged in.)
(BTW Hi NSA guys – how is the Pizzagate database coming along? Also, could you post copies of emails and wire transfers from the Saudis and Qataris to the Clinton “Foundation”? Thanks!)

Victory! Facebook restores Robert Spencer’s account after popular outcry
…………………..
Bravo, Robert!
linnte says
When I share your articles, Robert, Facebook puts them on my home page, but not in my news feed. The jerks.
Richard Paulsen says
Wonderful. Needed. Victory for freedom of speech.
Marizilda Fonseca says
Bravo Robert! and Bravo to all Facebook people that fights against Islam! I am proud to be one of them.
Anke L. says
Again, wonderful, wonderful for Spencer and us who follow and support him.
overman says
Good News.
Another Globalist bites the dust.
l have seen quite a few anti-lslam FB sites recommended on my facebook [trending] page, though – esp australia.
Shmooviyet says
Don’t they sound just so friendly when attempting to explain away the ‘mistake’– “so sorry for the inconvenience”!
How often does this same fishy error occur with FB-accepted people or groups, I wonder.
davej says
They don’t even have the honesty or decency to admit that it was a policy, not a “mistake”. Instead they lie about it, putting themselves on the same level as the Islamic liars and deceivers.
We see right thru you, Marko!
mortimer says
heartfelt thanks to all of you who contacted Facebook over this obvious attempt by an insider to SILENCE FRIENDS OF FREEDOM, FRIENDS OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS, ISRAEL, the US CONSTITUTION, PERSECUTED JEWS, PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS and all who are oppressed by Islam.
Sharia law targets all women and ‘others’ for persecution.
penno says
I don’t use Facebook but this is a good win for you guys.
Lucia Bartoli says
And we will continue to speak out and stand our ground. ??????
Champ says
I’ve been of Facebook for years and they’ve never made this “mistake” with me …has anyone else been locked out by “mistake”?
At any rate ..Congratulations, Robert!
koran at a glance says
I was locked out permanently, but not by mistake. I was in the process of sending this handy guide to the “accursed book” to all British MPs –
http://www.koran-at-a-glance.com
I got as far as “H” when I got the id query. I duly sent it and got a reply saying effectively you’re banned for life, although I can’t remember the exact words.
Oh for the days when you could set up disposable accounts without id or a mobile phone number!
Denise Smith says
I had my account suspended twice because I wrote comment 1 in 4 Swedish women are raped by Muslims but it is the truth.
Lor says
Bravo that the outcry outdid FB’s discrimination towards Mr. Robert Spencer, who has become more of a regular on mainstream (could it be?) television – fox news, for example, for being a commentator on Islamic Extremism due to his knowledge of the Koran and his “uncovering the truth” about Islam and the current agenda of Islamic extremists.
Mac-101 says
So is this Satanic Zuckerman trying to outdo the EVIL NYT Sulzberger who during WWII ignored the genocide of the Jews?
Custos Custodum says
Yep – NYT “spiked” genocide story because it didn’t want to be stereotyped as overly concerned with Jewish issues.
The story was apparently first published in the conservative UK Telegraph.
no_one says
Mr. Spencer, I don’t know if you are reading the comments, but can’t you start a blog to tell people who Christ is. You have said a lot about anti-Christ. Just a suggestion. You have many readers obviously.
Mac-101 says
I would guess that it is the reason that ALL people , not just Christians, need to fight this scourge on humanity. Islam is out to KILL or revert ALL, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, atheist, ALL people who are NOT the correct type of Muslim!
RichardL says
I actually find this story sad: anti-jihadis are dependent on organisations like facebook. I am not on FB and would never join: we waste our lives with chattering, the Bible warns.
I wish Breitbart or Fox – they have the necessary market power – would open a more neutral site for all us sane people. Or a network of people like Robert, Pamela…
JayT says
FB interpretation: Hi Robert, because we were caught lying, and are now no longer standing by our misgivings that you may be an imposter, we’ve restored your account giving weight to our lie.
We don’t really understand all the hoopla over this. After all, we are willing and even eager partners in providing censorship at the behest of our Chinese masters in China. This thing you keep referring to as freedom of speech and championing fairness are foreign concepts to us.
Please understand we are frantically surfing the net in an attempt to understand such antiquated ideas.

Okey dokey, the old “mistake” explanation! No matter. There is enough evidence to the contrary, housed within my (and Joe Newby’s) book, BANNED: How Facebook Enables Militant Islamic Jihad”, to attest otherwise.

Robert Spencer should be awarded a peace prize for his astounding contribution to our freedoms. Thankyou sir and bravo for getting your facebook back!
Richard Courtemanche says
Why did you allow that in the first place Marc Zuckergerg? And that wasn’t a mistake. Thinking of that, I can’t help thinking of a somewhat similarity with the Soros family obscuring their true identity and taking advantage of the Jews’ misery.
underbed cat says
Whew….good. The information warfare must end.
Holy Tshinge Maduha Ncube says
After I penned an article called Mahamad a pedophile and demon inspired bloodthirsty charlatan, I was also blocked from facebook and when i attempted to get back in has to submit my ID. I the end i opened another account .. Facebook is a muslim surrogate.
Cretius says
Being silent on issues is a sign of weakness. I prefer the cry “No Surrender!?

Congratulations to one of my heroes, Robert Spencer. I will guess that Mark Zuckerberg is jealous of you.
