More on how the Left is moving in for the kill and trying to destroy the freedom of speech completely.
“ProPublica, Working with Google to ‘Document Hate,’ Threatens Conservative Bloggers,” by Paula Bolyard, PJ Media, August 19, 2017:
Google revealed in a blog post that it is now using machine learning to document “hate crimes and events” in America. They’ve partnered with liberal groups like ProPublica, BuzzFeed News, and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to make information about “hate events” easily accessible to journalists. And now, there are troubling signs that this tool could be used to ferret out writers and websites that run afoul of the progressive orthodoxy.
In the announcement, Simon Rogers, data editor of Google News Labs, wrote:
Now, with ProPublica, we are launching a new machine learning tool to help journalists covering hate news leverage this data in their reporting.
The Documenting Hate News Index — built by the Google News Lab, data visualization studio Pitch Interactive and ProPublica — takes a raw feed of Google News articles from the past six months and uses the Google Cloud Natural Language API to create a visual tool to help reporters find news happening across the country. It’s a constantly-updating snapshot of data from this year, one which is valuable as a starting point to reporting on this area of news.
The Documenting Hate project launched in response to the lack of national data on hate crimes. While the FBI is required by law to collect data about hate crimes, the data is incomplete because local jurisdictions aren’t required to report incidents up to the federal government.
All of which underlines the value of the Documenting Hate Project, which is powered by a number of different news organisations and journalists who collect and verify reports of hate crimes and events. Documenting Hate is informed by both reports from members of the public and raw Google News data of stories from across the nation.
On the surface, this looks rather innocuous. It’s presented by Google as an attempt to create a database of hate crimes — information that should be available with a quick Google search, it should be noted. But a quick glance at the list of partners for this project should raise some red flags:
The ProPublica-led coalition includes The Google News Lab, Univision News, the New York Times, WNYC, BuzzFeed News, First Draft, Meedan, New America Media, The Root, Latino USA, The Advocate, 100 Days in Appalachia and Ushahidi. The coalition is also working with civil-rights groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, and schools such as the University of Miami School of Communications.
ProPublica poses as a middle-of-the-road non-profit journalistic operation, but in reality, it’s funded by a stable of uber-liberal donors, including George Soros’s Open Society Foundation and Herb and Marion Sandler, billionaire former mortgage bankers whose Golden West Financial Corp. allegedly targeted subprime borrowers with “pick-a-pay” mortgages that led to toxic assets that were blamed for the collapse of Wachovia. The Southern Poverty Law Center, of course, is infamous for targeting legitimate conservatives groups, branding them as “hate groups” because they refuse to walk in lockstep with the progressive agenda. And it goes with out saying that The New York Times and BuzzFeed News lean left.
A perusal of the raw data that’s been compiled thus far on hate stories shows articles from a wide array of center-right sites, including The Daily Caller, Breitbart News, The Washington Times, National Review, and the Washington Examiner. It also includes many articles from liberal sites like BuzzFeed News and The New York Times. One story from PJ Media’s Bridget Johnson is included in the list. It’s a report about a Sikh ad campaign aimed at reducing hate crimes against members of their faith community. Many of the articles are simply reports about alleged hate crimes from sources running the gamut of the political spectrum.
ProPublica vows to diligently track “hate incidents” in the coming months….
Note that Google, which recently fired an employee for expressing his counter-progressive opinions, thinks this information could be used to “help journalists covering hate news leverage this data in their reporting.” What do they mean by “leverage this data”? They don’t say, but an email sent to several conservative writers by a ProPublica reporter may give us some indication. Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer along with some others received this from ProPublica “reporter” Lauren Kirchner:
I am a reporter at ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative newsroom in New York. I am contacting you to let you know that we are including your website in a list of sites that have been designated as hate or extremist by the American Defamation League or the Southern Poverty Law Center. We have identified all the tech platforms that are supporting websites on the ADL and SPLC lists.
We would like to ask you a few questions:
1) Do you disagree with the designation of your website as hate or extremist? Why?
2) We identified several tech companies on your website: PayPal, Amazon, Newsmax, and Revcontent. Can you confirm that you receive funds from your relationship with those tech companies? How would the loss of those funds affect your operations, and how would you be able to replace them?
3) Have you been shut down by other tech companies for being an alleged hate or extremist web site? Which companies?
4) Many people opposed to sites like yours are currently pressuring tech companies to cease their relationships with them – what is your view of this campaign? Why?
In other words, nice website you’ve got there. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.
To summarize: Liberal ProPublica, working with the smear merchants at SPLC — powered by Google — sent a reporter out to issue not so veiled threats against conservative websites. It’s blatantly obvious that the goal here is to tank websites they disagree with by mounting a campaign to pressure their advertisers and tech providers to drop them as clients. This comes on the heels of Google, GoDaddy, CloudFlare, Apple, and others singling out alt-right sites for destruction in the wake of the Charlottesville riots.
Robert Spencer (who also writes for PJ Media) responded to the threat on his Jihad Watch blog:
The intent of your questions, and no doubt of your forthcoming article, will be to try to compel these sites to cut off any connection with us based on our opposition to jihad terror. Are you comfortable with what you’re enabling? Not only are you inhibiting honest analysis of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, but you’re aiding the attempt to deny people a platform based on their political views. This could come back to bite you if your own views ever fall out of favor. Have you ever lived in a totalitarian state, where the powerful determine the parameters of the public discourse and cut off all voice from the powerless? Do you really want to live in one now? You might find, once you get there, that it isn’t as wonderful as you thought it would be.
Spencer has recently criticized Google and the SPLC here at PJ Media for their attempts to squelch dissent, so it’s not surprising that they’ve decided to target him. Only instead of fighting Spencer’s words with words of their own, they’re lashing out with actions designed to silence him….
Robert Spencer wrote, “Authoritarianism in service of any cause leads to a slave society despite the best intentions of those who helped usher it in.”…

Obviously the goal is to shut down this website. I cannot continue commenting on this, my anger is too great to allow me to say anything reasonable.
Mark Swan says
Putting one’s views to the public, means to live a public life of sorts. No one can live a
public life worth much, act with true independence when seriously needed, and object
to great wrongs, or make powerful unjust enemies, if we have something to hide.
There are honorable and capable qualities, but these two are not always found together.
Both qualities must exist if one is to resist the unjust predators that attack. We must be
free of issues that would be a hindrance if our record is searched. Having a clean
record will not help if we are either careless of afraid—we must use discretion
and courage.
Effectiveness and honor must be combined to get the best result hoped for.
mortimer says
Mark, thank you. Very well-expressed and true. This is a psychological and financial battle of the high and mighty against free speech.

Thank you mortimer, yes this is a diabolical malicious inspiring of fellow humans to

Totally agree and it is getting worse day by day.
D Austin says
The FBI reportedly severed its link with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) from the bureau’s Hate Crime Web page around 2014. But considering the FBI propensity for protecting the Democrat crime syndicate, who can say.

from Wikipedia:
First they came …” is a poem written by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984). It is about the cowardice of German intellectuals following the Nazis’ rise to power and subsequent purging of their chosen targets, group after group.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

“They” (today’s Brownshirs) came for the speakers at Boston’s Free Speech Rally, today.
Every relevant news report I saw referred to that mob as “counter protesters”.

Have Google’s machines been given a copy of the Koran and Hadiths?
If they were, would they overload the machine?
Mark Swan says
DP111, that is a good point.
Westman says
That’s not a bad idea.. Instead of a DDOS attack like the hackers, how about a coordinated Quran Quote Attack, a QQA? Flood their “scrubbers” with the Quran’s hate passages and ISIS won’t be able to get their Quran quotes through Google.
TruthandJustice says
And why isn’t the Quran labeled as a hate document? For God’s sake, are these liberals so freaking ignorant that they can’t take the time to read it and find out for themselves? I grow weary of the obscene outcry from the left…..
PRCS says
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Calcutta_Quran_Petition
Not likely to ever happen, anywhere.
somehistory says
The goal is to eliminate free speech for anyone not towing their line and saying what they say or want said.
In Boston, a small group of people rallied for “Free Speech.” There also gathered about a 1000 people protesting against this “Free Speech” rally.
The protesters were preventing people from joining the “Free Speech” rally, calling them names and accusing them of “hate” speech.
google and pretend *pro*-publica, and splc, and g soros, are all for eliminating the freedom to speak unless it is speech in concert with them.
No truth must escape their evil eye of disapproval. Not even those like Jihadwatch that try to help people see what is happening to all freedoms and the dangers presented by islum and moslums.
Daniel Triplett says
Fox News said the Boston ratio was 39,900 to 100, against the Free Speech advocates.
Mark Swan says
Daniel Triplett, yes, we are talking Boston, and who knows how many bussed in,
Breitbart had this to say about it:
“No more than 300 free-speech activists took part in the event, while approximately 30,000 counter-protesters took to the streets in a protest organized by groups such as Black Lives Matter and Boston’s ANSWER Coalition.”
“The rally was organized by a group known as the Boston Free Speech Coalition and invited “libertarians, conservatives, traditionalists, classical liberals, (Donald) Trump supporters or anyone else who enjoys their right to free speech.”

Daniel Triplett says
Empty drums beat the loudest. So many Useful Idiots, and there is no reasoning with them.
This is a portent to future POTUS elections. Trump may be our last Republican President. This is why I always say it’s now or never if we intend to eliminate the global Islamic threat.
PRCS says
For them to be “counter protesters”, they’d have to be protesting protesters.
But, they weren’t.
They were mindless protesting the speakers at a free speech rally, having apparently bought into the propaganda–despite the speakers’ clear denial–that they were white supremacists, Nazis, etc.
That is not something Bostonians should be proud of, though many are.
Mark Swan says
Exactly so PRCS, that is the way it has been wrongly portrayed.
DP111 says
Have Google machines been told of actual hate crimes by Muslims all over the world. Not hate speech but actual hate crimes – murders of innocents, crucifixions, slitting of throats etc etc. all to the tune of “allahu ackbar.” in the thousands each week.
Google is becoming a monster. .
Kepha says
Why are’t people taking such bad actors on the Left to court for conspiracy to deprive people of civil rights? A letter of the sort that Robert received sounds, indeed, very much like the “offer you can’t refuse” which Mafiosi of yesteryear might give to some business they wished to emesh in their protection schemes.
Where are the Congressional leaders, jurists, and the President himself on things like this?
Mark Swan says
Racketeering, profiting from activities such as bribery, fraud, or intimidation—that fits the SPLC.
The general public needs to be aware of this, if public opinion is strong enough, the MSM will
follow, if they do the lawmakers will too—it can be establish that if you feign your self as
an authentic source of information to the public you had better be completely factual.
Jean Terry says
Absolutely outrageous. I don’t understand why companies like this take the side of wrong, rather than right. They are successful because they live in a republic where free speech is utmost. Why would they try to stifle that which has enriched them.

Same reason they hang out at Bohemian Grove and practice occult rituals! ORDO AB CHAO – Order Out Of Chaos, that they create in order to bring the Antichrist and global government to power.

Just ordered *The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies)* and am going to be reading it very slowly. Military confrontation may work best abroad but at home all we have is argumentation to stop jihad and Islamization and it’s being taken away from us at increasing pace daily. It has gone from threats and shoving to a slugfest already and is turning into a war on our most basic right to freedom of expression. We are losing the ability to freely criticize ideas and the government. Islam is undermining the foundation of our civilization and it makes sense as the two are incompatible. We’re left with no choice but to dig in and fight as a vocal minority resisting Islam wherever it encroaches while trying to inform those who are either ignorant of the threat and Big Lie, or who have uncritically taken our governments’ pernicious lies about Islam to be truthful.

Good, let them shut down conservative speech.
They won’t blame us anymore should hate speech persist. They will have to blame muslims and muslims only.

mgoldberg says
You will note, if you look at ProPublica’s webpage, that C.A.I.R. is one of the listed principle organizations
supporting propublicas work.
There needs to be a Federal Investigation of this. Back in 2014, SPLC was removed as a source from the F.B.I. and Eric Holder was Attorney General then, so the evidence was obviously overwhelming. But then, now it’s coffers overstuffed, it still exists and is used for it’s data compilation.
There needs to be a breakup of the stranglehold on the information highway by Google, Facebook, Twitter.
Indeed these are private companies, but Standard Oil was broken up for far less and these groups that dissallow any discussion beyond what they approve, must not be allowed to define what is hate speech.
I hate the attack upon infidels, upon non believers. They will cull from all newsites any reportage of that?
I hate the honor killing of women, and men by those who feel ‘shamed’. I hate the enforcement of Sharia law upon non muslims.
Will all that information be culled and disallowed.
I hate the hijab being allowed i courts of law, where a face cannot be seen and needs to be seen for identification purposes.
I hate the inability to discuss, debate, argue and decide what is good, how and why is it good, and what is bad, why is it bad, and the ability to decide the advantages of this culture, that ‘religion’, this idea or set of ideas, I hate the tyranny being forced down out throats.
We need to demand a Federal investigation of this tyranny, and to break up Google, Facebook, Twitter
and to prevent the iron chains of political correctness to enslave us.
Somewhat off topic, but germane… I saw part of ‘Reverand’ Al Sharpton going on about how he didn’t believe that Confederate statues supported by his tax dollars should continue when they were slavers.
Outside of the fact that he’s a convicted tax cheat, liar, race baiter, and enabler of some deaths due to the race baiting in the past, the irony is this:
Back in the late 90’s, I remember listening to Sharpton when the issues of muslims in the Sudan, murdering black african christians, and black african animists in their nations.
Does anyone remember Sharpton’s response to being asked about this? It was that the issue is more complicated than that so let’s not convict the muslims without looking at the issues.
Demsci says
“//There needs to be a breakup of the stranglehold on the information highway by Google, Facebook, Twitter.”//
Very good call! They look a bit like “monopolies” to me, the big enemy of honest competition. And very disadvantageous for the consumers. I recall that Teddy Roosevelt used to demolish “monopolies”. And a minister named Kahlon did the same in Israel a few years back. Countries that demolish monopolies tend to have better, more thriving economies and freeer societies than countries that allow and protect them.
And especially countries like Egypt and Iran where the military have yuuuuge commercial interests, and the muscle to dominate, if necessary eliminate all domestic competition. And the governments crush all opposition mercilessly. But in the end a country like Israel ends up on a much higher place in the order of wealthy free countries than those dictatorships.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
These days on critical subjects we hear the terms hate speech, even hate crimes. Anybody have a definition of hate? We have definitions for murder, robbery, fraud, theft, swindle, even conspiracy. If we’re gonna make hate speech a crime, should’t we define it? But that won’t happen cuz the whole concept will unravel the moment you try to make it something concrete.
Anne Smith says
One of the stupidest Prime Ministers Britain has ever had the misfortune to endure, David Cameron, put hate crime on the statute books as an actual crime.
I agree with Alarmed Pig Farmer. There should be crimes which are facts, motivation is not the crime, what is done is the crime and there should be punishment for the crime, not the motivation, if it could ever be proved which is unlikely.
How wise was Queen Elizabeth 1st when she refused “to make windows into men’s souls”. This was the momentous decision that enable England to begin escaping from the oppressive Roman Catholic doctrine and domination, and to become a prosperous and powerful nation in its own right.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The Constitution calls for equality before the law. So how is it that when a straight Infidel white man kills a straight Infidel white man that it’s somehow worse when a straight Infidel white man kills a gay Moslem black man? They’re both murders.

Organizers postpone Google protest marches, citing ‘alt-left terrorist’ threats
The rally’s organizer blamed the mainstream media for his decision, and said that someone had threatened to use a vehicle to drive into the march.
SAN FRANCISCO — Organizers of a free speech protest planned at Google locations across the United States said late Tuesday that the marches were postponed because of threats from “left-wing terrorists.”
“The Peaceful March on Google has been postponed due to credible Alt Left terrorist threats for the safety of our citizen participants,” organizers wrote on a blog post on the protest’s website.
The postponement of Saturday’s rally comes on the heels of bloody clashes in Charlottesville in which a man who was reportedly a Nazi sympathizer allegedly crashed into a crowd of activists, killing one person and injuring 19. On Tuesday, President Trump used the term “alt-left” and said both sides were to blame for the violence.
[Defiant after backlash, Trump reiterates ‘both sides’ to blame in Va.]
The rally’s organizer, Jack Posobiec, is an alt-right activist and self-described “reality journalist” who used conspiracy theories to galvanize Trump supporters during the presidential campaign, including the infamous “Pizzagate” rumors of child trafficking. The alt-right, short for alternative right, is a small, far-right movement that seeks a whites-only state. Adherents of the alt-right are known for espousing racist, anti-Semitic and sexist points of view.
Posobiec gained national attention from the conspiracy theory that claimed Hillary Clinton and her campaign chief harbored a child sex ring in a pizza restaurant in Washington. The Internet-fueled falsehood led a gunman in December to fire an assault-style rifle as he searched the pizzeria, Comet Ping Pong.
In his blog post announcing the postponement, Posbiec blamed the mainstream media, and in particular CNN, for making “malicious and false statements that our peaceful march was being organized by Nazi sympathizers.”
He said that someone had threatened to use a vehicle to drive into the march.
The protests were triggered by Google’s firing of engineer James Damore, who wrote a 10-page internal memo criticizing the company’s diversity policies and advocating negative stereotypes about women.
The march appeared to be hastily scrubbed. Earlier Tuesday, the website announced that four cities had been added to the protest schedule.
[‘I’m not a sexist’: Fired Google engineer stands behind controversial memo]
But Posobiec was also facing pressure to postpone the march from other members of far-right movements, who said that it was ill-timed.
“The rallies this weekend are being created by the alt-light so they are going to suck,” alt-right leader Richard Spencer said in an interview Tuesday afternoon. Alt-light is a term used by some alt-right figures to disparage more conciliatory elements of the movement.
Mike Cernovich, another far-right commentator, said in an interview that the march was ill-timed in the wake of events in Charlottesville.
“I’d be surprised if the march on Google happens this weekend,” he said in an interview before the postponement.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/organizers-postpone-google-protest-marches-citing-alt-left-terrorist-threats/2017/08/16/1a62a248-824b-11e7-ab27-1a21a8e006ab_story.html
Demsci says
This shocks and scares me. I love to use Google. But it now sounds like Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter are engaging in censorship, along with action groups and governments, some of whom are downright dictatorial.
My hope then is that these tech companies, just like the Mainstream Media, will provoke competition from alternative tech companies, for outraged customers.
On the other hand, if Google et all, strictly maintains all access to all free speech, only excluding incitement to violence, then dictatorial regimes might be provoked to create alternative outlets and block Google et al. And I thought that countries like China and Russia already did have alternative networks of the sort.
So why do Facebook and Google bother to give in to demands from dictatorships and action groups? They will always clamor for more concessions for censorship, threatening to end the consumership of their citizens, whereas the free people everywhere are satisfied with no censorship (except incitement to violence). Should n’t that be their target group?
Perhaps either way it will in future be impossible to have a single global network, search engine etc.
Anne Smith says
In UK the MSM report many times that the jihadists who leave to fight for ISIS have made their contacts through Google, Facebook, etc. It is doubtful that they would have got where they are today, countless terror attacks, murders, men women and children slaughtered and maimed without the collusion of these internet facilitators.
These companies have blood on their hands.
Westman says
Apple just pledged $2 Million of money it got from you for their overpriced products to the SLPC .
This isn’t some incidental confluence. The media and its economic interests have declared WAR on the Right:
Google
Facebook
Twitter
PayPal
Apple
SPLC
ProPublica
This constitutes collusion and the violation of monopoly laws. Google, in particular, due to its lion share of browsers, operating systems, and search engines should be vulnerable to a monopoly-used-as-discrimination lawsuit.
The executives at Samsung must be jumping up and down in the boardroom when they heard Apples’s Cook stupidly pledged money to shut down his own customers. I don’t know about you, but all my Apple products are going bye, bye.
I also spend thousands/year through PayPal for products on Ebay and other retailers. That stops today. Sorry Ebay and retailers, find another way besides PayPal or there will be more purchases.
If Google keeps up this discrimination, there are many other browsers besides Chrome, DuckDuckGo for a search engine, and Microsoft for the operating system; and if Gates starts in, there is a great cheap-to-free operating system, Linux.
I would recommend that all the like sites to Jihad Watch get together and plan a strategy for survival, launch a suit naming all 5 entities as monpolistic, collusive, discriminators, and ask for damages in the Billions. Whether it wins or not, it will bring congressional attention to regulating these companies – the last thing they want.
Obviously we are experiencing tech business’ arrogantly assuming they are some kind of shadow government that can force its own ideals onto the world. They also think they have the majority backing to do it despite the fact Trump was elected in preference to another arrogant who was just LIKE THEM.
I guess every ascension of a new group to economic and social power is accompanied by hubris and arrogance until it steps on a social land mine. Dividing the country by stepping on the right is bad manners with a consequence, yet unseen. Zuckerberg is not, “the smartest guy in the room”. I’m still waiting to see if the smartest guy in tech wants to follow this “poor player…sound and fury” act.
Any investments I have in these companies are being liquidated on Tuesday.
Westman says
SLPC –> SPLC(Southern Poverty Law Center)
Demsci says
Yes, Westman, I read Tim Cook’s letter to all it’s employes. He used a straw man argument, showing his ignorance or prejudice or something worse;
He wrote:
“//I disagree with the president and others who believe that there is a moral equivalence between white supremacists and Nazis, and those who oppose them by standing up for human rights.”//
President Trump certainly did not say this!!! He was pointing out or meaning that on the “right side” certainly were “bad people”, say Group I, and why, but that on the other side, the “left side” ALSO were bad people, and why, say Group II.
But that there were people in Charleston present that day that were against demolition of statues that were decent, say Group III, and that of course among people protesting from the “left side” there were also many decent people, defending human rights, say Group IV.
Tim Cook was bad listener, naive leftist or sinister liar enough to present the Strawman argument that Pres. Trump painted “moral equivalence” between Group I and IV! But of course the president meant Group I and II!
Mark Swan says
Good example there Demsci, thank you.

While Ebay and Paypal are no longer legally connected, if you want to have an affect, stop buying from Ebay in addition to stop using PayPal. These fat cats have far too much power, and are throwing their weight around to stop people like Robert Spencer from speaking the truth. If we don’t slow or halt this progression, soon we will be rounded up for speaking our minds. So much for free speech……
Lydia says
Freedom of speech and of the press…
soon disappearing in a town near you…
It’s like I said. I won’t say it again.
Those of us who refuse to play their politically ‘correct’ game of mono-speak will be outlawed.
All I can advise is this:
1. Download all the data you have, save it to a disk, print it out, whatever you can do to keep it on record for the future. Don’t trust technology, a paper copy is key on top of anything else.
2. Spread it all around now, and tell others to do the same thing with the information as in item #1 above. Replicate the data and keep it under lock and key even, in a safe place.
3. These platforms will soon be disappearing, so use them now, get the word out now, prepare for a blackout of information now.
4. We still have freedom of speech. All we have to do is use it. But they will try to extinguish any form of it on the internet and in public. Those like me will proceed at our own risk.
5. Study the ways that people smuggled information during dictatorships, the Holocaust, etc. and even smuggled people to safety, rescuing them from certain death. These strategies may come in handy in the not so distant future.
6. For Christians; never deny Jesus no matter what.
7. I am willing to help anyone who is on the side of real human rights, truth, justice, etc. of course, smuggle information or people, etc. if I have the resources to do so.
8. Think; what would happen if the internet and freedom of speech on it as we know it shut down? Don’t wait until later to prepare.
God bless,
with the resistance always
for Jesus

Yesterday I was at down and talked to by the nanager of a local subway, who stated that a customer ( a student apparently) had complained about a conversation i had been having with a member of staff. Apparently helping people understand the political component of islam, the subject of the conversation, is taboo for young people these days. THe manager wanted me to be aware and not chat about things in the news, which are costing innocent People their lives. Of course the identity of the complainant was not given. THere are two ways at looking at this type of subversion. Either ids like the student can’t imagine life without kebabs and hordes of muh males crowding out the local dance floors as they grope drunk young women; or the student is a memeber of Antifa; to which my borough contributes a heavy contingent of cowards. I pointed out to the Manager who had attempted to chisel me that as someone who had laboured on around 500 houses, roads et al, that I was actually very comfortable in my skin, and in the abscence of any behaviour that could be construed as bad, my entitlement to speak as freely as I wished was not up for grabs. In the UK the media are doing a pretty good job of giving brexiters and anti-muh the “nazi” label, almost completely obscuring the fact thta a new breed of nazis are being churned out of educational establishments. THe fact the complainant (if there actually was one) did not interject during the alleged conversation, and state his/her opinion speaks volumes for their integrity. We are heading into a very dangerous situation. THe majority of People in the West are being shut up to accomodate a new education. New transliterations of the korans (e.g. Abdel Haleem’s 2010 rewrite) arre being dished out to unwary Westerers as de facto documents; “moderate” muh champion these tracts gleefully .. as you would expect. THerefore I am going to change tack, not to benefit subway manager and their like, but because there is one glaring issue with islam everyone seems to avoid .. its “ruh” content. Of all the “holy books” i have read, which is most, the koran stands alone as completely incorrect. My rational is if the inaccurate nature of the koran’s holy content is exposed, then the actual political nature of (it) will become more evident to those conned into believing islam is some sort of religion. Yes, islam is a faith of sorts. But where finding god is concerend it is a complete dead end.

Rush Limbaugh said it fairly straight, The US Constitution is under attack, The Bill of Rights and the 1st amendment is necessary to for us to keep aware of what the opposition is up to. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. google is a monopoly and needs to be brought to heel. Talk about Fascism. I didn’t vote for zuckerberg.

It feels like the walls are closing in. This is a debate going back to Jefferson and John Adams about free speech. It’s ironic that they advocate companies like PayPal refuse customers for their “ideology” while the left screems at a bakery that didn’t want to serve a customer whose ideas conflicted with their faith and posibly business plan. The Atlantic article continues with this. We are already on the slippery slope.
Acutally! What can we do about it? Write the president? FCC? Department of Commerce? FTC?

Well here we go,it seems I have to say it all yet again:
ALL liberal “hate-speech laws” ARE crimes!!!
“The whole concept of “hate speech” (laws against hurt feelings) is political correctness run amok, a leftist anti-free-speech tool that provides an unlimited excuse to shut down and punish anyone who openly disagrees with establishment dicta. Every totalitarian state has similar laws designed to protect the rulers. Such laws have no place in a free society.”
– Patrick1984 –
But Terminiello v. Chicago (1949), Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), National Socialist Party v. Skokie (1977), R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul (1992), Virginia v. Black (2003), Snyder v. Phelps (2011) These SCOTUS cases show that unpopular speech is still protected speech.
SO: What is “hate-speech” and why should it be considered a crime if it’s NOT already: a) a threat; and b) slander (fraud)?
If it’s not either PHYSICALLY threatening speech – or emotionally threatening BECAUSE it could physically impact one’s life, like how fraudulent slander causes other people to react to one as if one were a criminal in need of hating and beating – then it’s THE TRUTH: and so it SHOULD cause one the emotional distress of ‘hurt feelings!’ So it isn’t objectively “offensive,” but is, in fact, socially beneficial in that it helps defend society from criminals, whether or not said predictably victim-blaming criminal is subjectively “offended” by their victims being notified about THEIR offenses!
Having no facts to justify their aggressive hypocrisy, all criminals will resort to using emotive ‘arguments’ to justify their crimes by playing the victims. So they (liberals, muslims) can be relied on to try to criminalize hurt feelings and to make offending people, (i.e: the criminals, by accusing them of their crimes) illegal, too!
ALL “Hate-Speech Laws” ARE CRIMES!
“Progressive” criminals – who like all criminals desire an equality of outcome over a true equality of opportunity, and to get it will always try to socially engineer ever-more rights and ever-less responsibilities for them selves, by offloading their responsibilities onto their victims by stealing their victims’ rights – pretend to hold submissive masochism as the highest virtue (for their victims to hold, not them) and the ultimate crime to be causing offense and hurting other people’s (criminal’s) feelings, (i.e: by accusing them of their crimes).
So they want to make it illegal to accuse criminals of their crimes, since that might hurt their feelings and in offending them with the often-painful truth, “make” them commit even more crimes!
Is there anything which really ought to qualify as hate speech and be banned?
NO – not because it’s “hateful” (because that sort of nonsense is only making subjective assessments based on emotions;) and “HATE” is really only the perfectly natural human response of perpetual anger towards ongoing crimes (like islam); without ‘hate’ we would never bother to accuse criminals of their crimes in order to stop those crimes.
Unreasonable false displays of hatred and anger on the other hand, are what the Left is good at – but that’s already illegal, not because of the anger displayed – that’s just the outrageous holier-than-thou virtue-signalling packaging used to disguise their preposterous extortion attempts – but because it’s fraudulent slander.
Such criminal leftists who try to make “hate” into a crime, only ever make it ‘illegal’ to hate crime itself!
Speech which is already disallowed is incitement of immediate violence and death-threats … and even those aren’t illegal, if say they call for the police to use violence to counter ongoing mob violence and looting, or call for the death-penalty for murderers!
….
Further, ALL politicians who craft “hate-speech laws” and ALL cops who arrest people for “hate-speech crimes” and ALL lawyers and judges who prosecute people for them, should themselves be fired and JAILED for putting “hurt feelings” before FACTS!
Especially in the case of islam!
Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.
Right in the Qur’an is: the permission to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).
Are death-threats legal? NO.
Is extortion legal? NO.
Is slavery legal? NO.
Is murder legal? NO.
Is rape legal? NO.
THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!
Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!
Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!
So nobody has a legal right to practice islam anywhere on earth!

Monopolies should be regulated. VIRTUAL monopolies should also be regulated. Paypal, google, micro$$$oft, amazon, and many others are VIRTUAL monopolies and should be regulated and be legally told to serve ALL CUSTOMERS with zero discrimination. What’s next your water being shut-off because you disagree with the left, your electricity shut-off, etc.
More Ham Ed says
I might add zero discrimination with the exception of government designated terrorist entities, but for that to work and be defined properly, we would have to have a humble accountable Judeo Christian based government. Just thinkin’ out loud while sprinkling more bacon bits on my salad.

There’s no doubt George Soros is a cancer. His intolerance for America’s Laws & Constitution is coming out and quite rapidly. In order to undermine US Constitution and Free Speech why not implement UN Resolution 16/18? Since the Establishment Chosen One was defeated in Nov 2016, it upended or at least delayed the implementation of OIC UN Resolution 16/18 to criminalize Free Speech if you’re deemed to have criticized Islam. So now enlist the help of wealthy cronies, do gooders with the same open border mentality and quest to dismantle the United States of America. Google will now set the bar for what they deem to be hate? Islamic Terrorist premeditatedly kills 49 Americans in gay nightclub & it’s labeled gun violence so as not to offend muslims. Same for San Bernardino 14 dead & who could forget the workplace violence at Ft. Hood by a Soldier of Allah. The Crony LiberalSocialists embarking on the Undermining of the United States of America, the U.S. Constitution & certainly the Bill of Rights. Which they have no issue using the Bill of Rights to suppress opposing views.
