Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Facebook permanently bans young anti-migration “Identitarian” movement

Jun 26, 2018 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The anti-mass migration Generation Identity movement has been banned permanently from Facebook…Facebook confirmed that the group had been permanently banned from the platform, “citing their policies against extremist content and organised hate groups.”

Over the last few years, Westerners have been conditioned to accept madness. Calling out human rights abuses and trying to save Western countries from becoming mirror images of Islamic states is not “extremist,” and does not constitute “hate.” The young “identitarian” movement has been expanding to defend against Islamization.

Across Europe from Ireland to Slovenia, groups of young people are mobilizing against migration. A growing “identitarian” movement, led by mostly smart and tech-savvy young men, is attracting attention in its efforts to “stop and reverse” the flow of migrants from the South.

It is difficult to argue against the mission of the identitarian movement as it is stated on their website:

Generation Identity (in some countries, ‘Identitarian Movement’) is a Europe-wide patriotic youth movement that promotes the values of homeland, freedom and tradition through peaceful activism, political education, and community & cultural activities. We want to create an awareness for a metapolitical patriotic value base

Yet elected globalist leaders who continue to betray their countries have allied themselves with Islamic supremacists, and are slowly dismantling the freedoms of their societies. Members of this alliance continue to lie about, condemn and smear anyone who stands against their socialist-left and Islamic supremacist agendas. The cornerstone of any free society is free speech, dialogue and debate, which Generation Identity also promotes:

We are a non-violent youth movement that highlights the need for open and honest public debate about immigration policies, identity and the future of our nations and of Europe.

While Facebook shuts down free expression and voices of reasoned concern about the Islamization of Western countries, it has been accused of sloppily and “inadvertently” helping thousands of jihadists “connect and recruit new members” through its suggested friends feature.

Over the last several weeks the group [Generation Identity] has seen page after page disappear from the social media giant’s platform with little or no explanation.

In May, Jihad Watch reported that the far-Left hate group Hope Not Hate was responsible for getting Generation Identity UK co-leader Tom Dupré fired from his banking job for his anti-Islamization views. Hope Not Hate tweeted out proudly that “far-right group Generation Identity – a movement which has a long history of racism and extreme anti-Muslim prejudice – have been BANNED from Facebook.”

“Censorship: Entire European Identitarian Movement Permanently Banned From Facebook”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, June 24, 2018:

The anti-mass migration Generation Identity movement has been banned permanently from Facebook, after all of their official pages were deleted due to “extremist content.”

Over the last several weeks the group has seen page after page disappear from the social media giant’s platform with little or no explanation, but a new report claims that Facebook has permanently banned the hipster-right identitarians, accusing them of posting “extremist content”.

According to the paper, Facebook confirmed that the group had been permanently banned from the platform, “citing their policies against extremist content and organised hate groups.”

The ban impacts all branches of the identitarian movement, including in Britain, Austria, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Hungary, and France, where the original Generation Identitaire group was founded.

The French wing of the movement put out a press release when censorship of their pages began earlier this year, saying: “By depriving Generation Identitaire of any representation on its platform, Facebook tries to gag a political movement that has accumulated hundreds of thousands of subscribers throughout Europe.”….

    I would love to not use Facebook. Indeed, I got off of Facebook several years ago but found my kids and grandkids disappeared in that they don’t even email. Everything is on Facebook. What a dangerous situation this is for those of us who do want to see and hear alternate viewpoints and who actively want to warn people of threats we know to be true. The winners of all of this will always be the “fascists” therefore the Global Elite. I bet they can communicate far better than I.

      I totally agree; same with my dispersed family.
      Today’s generations seem completely unaware that 70 years of peace in Europe has bred complacency and ignorance of what it was like to have your freedom to speak openly perpetually monitored as in the Soviet era. We are no longer free to disagree on points of policy yet remain a cohesive nation. One nation, four cultures united in a common identity. Now we have been ripped open without consultation, to cultures that will never let go of their primitive rural practices and are recreating the same backward ways that they were so happy to leave behind.

      Come to Steemit.com
      Steemit is a blockchain social media that operates on the steem blockchain. There are multiple websites and apps that operate on the steem blockchain. You can blog and upload fotos an dlinks to videos on steemit but not videos themselves altough that may come in future upgrades, but you can upload video to dtube which operates on the steem blockchain to cater to the video uploaders. Anything uploaded on steem from any platform is seen by all steemers who want to see it. You also get rewarded with crypto currency for every like. Don’t expect to get rich off of it but you can make 100usd equivalent in 1 year, whereas on Facebook you get nothing and you get censored and they sell your data.
      The blockchain component makes it very hard to censor a person on steem. I invite you guys to take a look and see for yourself.
      There are Steemit(Blockchain Social Media Blog site), Dtube(Youtube alternative), Steepshot(Instagram alternative), Dlive(Live stream) etc. on the Steem Blockcain. Anybody can make an account, verification times may vary depending on how many are trying to join. Since some months now I have seen multiple big youtubers jojn Steemit eg Luke from we are change, the Hodge twins from Youtube and many others.

  6. RichardL says

    Facebook is the enemy of patriotism. How can patriots complain that they are refused service by their enemy? It is a market and if Facebook denies service to more and more rational antijihadis they will lose their position as market leader.

    It’s quite a problem.
    On the one hand misinformation and racism has flooded the internet. Violent groups use it to recruit using whatever lies they wish and to plan their “events”. Those in control of various communication sites self-censor on whatever basis they wish — often just following what is politically correct at the moment.
    On the other hand any serious attempt to regulate these sites would be seen by many as infringing on Freedom of Speech. The logistics of trying to do so would be immense because the whole World is involved.
    As an example, how would regulators deal with Holocaust denial when there really was a holocaust? Many muslim states wouldn’t buy into a ban on it. Nor would they go for a banning of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” regardless of it’s being pure fiction.
    If regulators couldn’t deal with those obvious lies how could they possibly handle topics that are actually a matter of opinion such as whether a group or website is a purveyor of racism or bigotry?
    Exactly how much Freedom of Speech are we prepared to cede to government regulators because I believe that before long we will certainly be forced to give some up.
    In Canada, the federal gov’t has put extreme pressure on Freedom of Speech and even attacks Freedom of Opinion actually DEMANDING we hold certain opinions. We have crossed the line into very dangerous territory.
    I’m no computer expert so I may be making some comments that are easily discounted but what is occurring is very distressing to say the least.

    I just posted their link on my Facebook page. Censorship has no place anywhere free people breath. Let Facebook go after me if they like but there are too many of us for Generation Identity to disappear into the ethereal void. Everyone who has a Facebook page needs to post them. Thanks Robert for letting us know.

    Facebook permanently bans young anti-migration “Identitarian” movement
    ……………………

    Given Facebook’s history of censorship, I can’t say I’m surprised…

    Then the challenge for this young people’s movement is to find a way of meeting, organising, and recruiting that is NOT dependent on cyberspace.

    Think of culturally-significant locations – the market, the town square, the cafe, the art gallery, the *library*, and yes, the *church*, or in most larger European cities, the *Cathedral*. It is high summer in Europe, right now: just right to go walking the dog around the neighbourhood; perfect for *picnics* in the park.

    Think of the park, the library, market-place, parish church, city cathedral, as meeting points, rallying-points, places to hang out and chat.

    Once people have met – and again, I commend both churches and libraries to people’s attention – and got to know each other, then is the time to exchange mobile phone numbers, and/ or post-office-box addresses.

    I go on vacation for five minutes, and this is what happens for me to see when I get back!
    My inbox is FULL of so much bad news from all sides.
    The only good news is the recent Supreme Court rulings acknowledging religious freedom and ruling against the bullying discriminating bigots who hate Christians.
    So YAY to that!
