Once again we see it. In The Coming of the Third Reich, historian Richard J. Evans explains how, in the early days of National Socialist Germany, Stormtroopers (Brownshirts) “organized campaigns against unwanted professors in the local newspapers [and] staged mass disruptions of their lectures.” To express dissent from Nazi positions became a matter of taking one’s life into one’s hands. The idea of people of opposing viewpoints airing their disagreements in a civil and mutually respectful manner was gone. One was a Nazi, or one was silent (and fearful).
Luke O’Brien of the Huffington Post is the modern-day Brownshirt who has targeted and attempted to destroy the life of Amy Mek, who recounts the success he has had here. This Huffington Post article is the equivalent of the Brownshirts’ “organized campaigns against unwanted professors in the local newspapers.” Amy Mek has committed no crime; the reason why her life must be destroyed, as far as Luke O’Brien is concerned, is because she is “racist” and “Islamophobic.” As evidence, O’Brien points out that she has praised Milo, who is so “racist” that he is in a gay marriage with a black man; as for “Islamophobia,” of course O’Brien means that she opposes jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women, non-Muslims, and others — in O’Brien’s mind, as a doctrinaire Left-fascist, all those who oppose such things are “bigots.”
The targeting of Amy Mek is bigger than Amy Mek, just as Britain’s jailing of Tommy Robinson is bigger than Tommy Robinson. You may not like Amy Mek. You may think she should go about things with a different style. But make no mistake: the Huffington Post and Luke O’Brien are sending you a message. That message is this: if you dare to dissent from the Leftist agenda, if you dare to oppose jihad terror and stand for the equality of rights of all people against Sharia oppression, we will destroy you.
They will brook no dissent, any more than Comrade Stalin or the Führer did. The Huffington Post and Luke O’Brien envision a world in which all those whom they deem to be “racists” and “Islamophobes” are silenced. Right now their weapon for that silencing is what Hillary Clinton recommended: peer-pressure and shaming. They’re trying to shame Amy Mek into silence, as they have tried for years to shame all those they smear as “bigots” into silence. If that doesn’t work, then come the Antifa thugs, who with a rock or a bike lock or a baseball bat will let the “Nazis” know that they stand on the side of righteousness, and make sure the “Nazis” are silent by making them physically incapable of talking.
If that doesn’t intimidate the rest into silence, then other measures will be forthcoming. This is the totalitarian initiative in America. Will free society in the United States survive the likes of Luke O’Brien and the Huffington Post? That’s anybody’s guess right now.
“Trump’s Loudest Anti-Muslim Twitter Troll Is A Shady Vegan Married To An (Ousted) WWE Exec: @AmyMek anonymously spread hate online for years. She can’t hide anymore,” by Luke O’Brien, Huffington Post, May 31, 2018:
She was supposed to be a Russian bot. That seemed like the best explanation for @AmyMek. No normal person could be so prolific and prejudiced.
For five years, the mysterious Twitter account ― which has more than 200,000 followers, including Sean Hannity, Roseanne Barr and the personal account of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and has earned endorsements from Donald Trump and Michael Flynn ― has tirelessly spewed far-right propaganda and, above all, Islamophobia. Around 25 tweets a day, sometimes more, the majority of them designed to stoke hatred of Muslims….
Mekelburg also swooned over racist figures such as former Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopolous and YouTuber Stefan Molyneux and hyped white nationalist groups such as Soldiers of Odin, Proud Boys and Generation Identity. She vilified quarterback Colin Kaepernick for taking a knee, called Black Lives Matter a terrorist group and made light of police violence against black men….
Mekelburg had also been trying to make inroads into what Ibrahim Hooper calls “the cottage-industry of Islam haters,” which is run by bigots such as Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, David Horowitz, Brigitte Gabriel and Frank Gaffney — several of whom have close ties to the Republican establishment and the Trump administration. Their efforts can be remunerative, thanks to generous funding from conservative and libertarian foundations such as the Donors Capital Fund….

Those dancing jackasses will be some of the first to be beheaded in the coming caliphate. And then they will realize how wrong they were. They have no idea what they have let into their countries.
KJW says
They would submit rather than admit they were wrong. They are dumb sheep and not truly liberals-I have been mostly liberal thus very for separation of church and state and vehemently anti-censorship. Probably no peep out of them in yet another case of 7th graders practicing Arabic calligraphy which was the shahada. This in Florida, last time Tennessee. That’s egregious in my book. They are truly acting like totalitarian wanna-be’s many of whom are probably “hidden” racists who talk a good game, but lile Hillary, are two-faced, thus the guilt and do-goody patting themselves on the back. I know I’m not racist nor xenophobic so I feel confident in speaking out about an ideology (Islam) with a veneer of religious rites. One only has to look at Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran…to understand. Maybe they’re scared cowards too, as well as complacent about the freedoms they’ve had that others have envied. I suppose they don’t care about what ex-Muslims have to say (some even called Islamophobics), so they are intolerant of those who like freedoms and intellectual integrity.

Thank you Robert, for informing all Civilized People, exactly what has happened to those who have “Bucked” the Agenda of the Leftist Pro-Sharia, Authoritarian Mob.
I had to read & reread, because the enormity of the fate of not just Amy & her family, but millions of other victims of “DOXING”, MUST NOT BE OVERLOOKED ANY LONGER.
Silence is complicity with your Oppressors, & we can no longer accept that Status.
Thank you again to Robert!

Huffington Post fascist Luke O’Brien doxes counter-jihadi, gets her husband fired for holding the wrong opinions
……………………..
*Just appalling*.
And a minor point, but what is “shady” about being a vegan?
Stacy Girl says
Like being in a gay marriage with a person of a different race, veganism can be shady if you don’t hold the other “proper” beliefs that these fascist tyrants espouse. And they are intolerant bullies.
Phil Copson says
“Like being in a gay marriage with a person of a different race…..”

Don’t expect that you can ever win against these psychotic loons – I can hear them now…..
“Aha, but that’s just the kind of typical behaviour you’d expect from a heterosexual white supremacist, isn’t it ? He’s just pretending to be a homosexual with a penchant for black guys to disguise his rampant white-chick-only-phallocentricity…..”
Anytime now they’ll probably decide that cannibalism is now smart and socially-acceptable and accuse vegans of carni-phobia.
vlparker says
Actually, I read that Richard Dawkins made a comment about society having to get over their taboo about cannibalism. Nuts.
Elizabeth Lawson says
Like many honest, decent people, I am heartily sick of these Islamist apologists. What kind of brain is it that refuses to characterize a bank robber, a robber – just because he is short, fat, ugly, handsome, tall, white, black, poor, wealthy, a father, not a father etc? An individual who kills, maims, rapes, riots, bombs, screams anti ( any race, creed, nationality) epithets, deserves the adjectival descriptions that are applicable. THAT is free speech. Anything less than that is not. We have fifth columnists in all Westen countries. Some indigenous, some invited in. Many work for the media, those rags now known only for lies and propaganda, and many are safely imbedded in government offices where they can wreak the most damage. The best away to identify these corrupt ( and doubtless well paid for by Islamist masters) trolls is by their outrageous defence of the patently guilty – particularly at the expense of their country and their fellow citizens. As for Mr. O’Brien? I am an Irishwoman born and raised, and I couldn’t be more ashamed of anyone than I am of him.
Norger says
It is absolutely stunning that people who call themselves liberals align with a religious ideology that is utterly misogynistic, violently opposed to free speech, violently opposed to freedom of conscience, intolerant of homosexuality, opposed to secular government etc. I guess this is “identity politics.”
Terry Gain says
I hate Islam as much as anyone. When do my cheques start coming in?
I would like to know why Luke O’Brien condones murder, rape and pedophilia. And why has he embraced totalitarianism and fascism?
Stefan cel Mare says
For the same reason as Stalin.
Kepha says
It’s because he is obviously a perv, sadist, totalitarian, and fascist.
Westman says
“..why has he embraced totalitarianism and fascism?”
Because it is his replacement for the missing, “rite of passage”, in modern society. He has no religious creed, no patriotic beliefs, no requirement to serve his country’s military, no historically-based foundation.
Like a dysfunctional outcast, “saved” by acceptance from a religious cult of outcasts, he has experienced a moment of transfixed “spiritual” transformation among fellow travelers and educators who believe Nirvana is lying somewhere within the diversity agenda. He is now a fanatic, working for the will and accolades of his group.
Of course, a time will come when fantasy meets reality and the devotion to the diversity “religion” will segue to inactivity. This is when embarassment for damage done and apostasy begins.
KJW says
That Luke quotes Ibrahim Hooper shows what a scoundrel he is as Hooper quite clearly has stated his ideals of America being under sharia law, supports Muslim Brotherood and Hamas, and is no friend of freedom-loving Americans. Huffington Post is shameful and yet another disinformation and propaganda outlet…they have no integrity.
Basically, those non-Muslim sources from the 7th century onward, our presidents, great scholars from the US to India, Indonesia, etc. are all Islamophobic as well as the Crusaders. Those 7th century sources have a lot of comments equal to comments today. Howza about that?
Well, they shouldn’t complain about McCarthyism because they are it, and also on the very wrong side of history. Smearing is all they’ve got because they can’t win an argument and they are aiding and abetting people who don’t really give two shites about them.
Steve K says
What the left is doing in the US is a McCarthyistic black listing technique (although much worse than McCarthyism). How do you kill free speech in a place where the government can;t punish speech. get people fired for the wrong political opinions.
BTW many leftists made movies about the evils of McCarthyism. That was before they enjoyed using the same technique and worse..

…Joe McCarthy was trying to RID us of fascists like o’brien…had he been allowed to finish the job, this country AND consequently the world would be a much better place today…
Steve K says
McCarthy’s goal was not entirely wrong. But he went to far.
The same way with this– REAL and SERIOUS racism like hurting people because you don’t like their skin color is bad, but the lefties have decided everything that disagrees with them is racism and needs to be stamped out. They have gone way way too far.
Hence the new leftist McCarthyism designed to kill free speech in a country with a first amendment.

One can expect the evil propaganda to continue.
Tom says
F you Huffington Post and F you Luke O’Brian. Free speech will win out over your Fascist tactics.
“The Fascists of the future will call themselves Anti Fascist.” Winston Churchill.
How prophetic Churchill was in telling us that those who are intolerent of others’ right to free speech and their right to have an opinion, are in fact the reincarnation of the hated and feared Brown Shirts of Hitlers Nazi Party.
The new Fascists hide behind a very thin veneer of supposed tolerance and fairness. However once that veneer, which is so easily split, is undone, the evil exposed beneath is all too much the same as that shown by their predecessors, The Nazi Brown Shirts.
People like O’Brian will always show their ugly Fascism to the world because they just cannot contain the hate and evil within.

It is interesting that Leftist Progressive Fascists routinely comment on ‘far right’ websites because Progressive Fascist websites exert total control over their narratives that cannot withstand informed criticism. It is also interesting that Conservative (aka ‘far right’ ‘bigoted’ )websites quote Progressive Fascist narratives at length, verbatim, while Progressive Fascist websites confine their interaction with Conservative ideas to spewing epithets at those who hold them.
Very interesting.

I have been saying for years that the Progtards are a Nazi-Communist movement. Glad somebody else finally gets it.
Communism and Fascism are more or less the same in the final result. Go ask Mussolini; he knew where it was at. He was both.
utis says
Doxxing. I had to look it up in the “English for Old Coots” dictionary. If this Marching Moron thinks he’s doing journalism (especially when getting a third party fired is a result), then the mid-twentienth century gossip rags all deserve Pulitzers.
Keep fighting for free speech, folks. Call yourself a racist call yourself an islamophobe;
hell, call yourself Jack the Ripper. It’s a just name-calling. Keep speaking the truth as you know it. These locusts are gnawing at the first two Amendments, and eventually they’ll go for the rest — including the 14th.
Billy Chickens says
I was just in Peekskill which is 15 miles south of Fishkill and thought that Peekskill would be a great town to live in if one wanted to “hide out”. But apparently not since it’s 15 miles closer to NYC, Luke O’Brien and the Huffington Post than Fishkill is.
I had dreams of running around Westchester County spying on Hillary Clinton and George Soros, but sadly, Luke was one step ahead.
AJS says
This is the new tyranny. In some ways it’s even more pernicious than an outright state imposed ban on certain opinions. A ban has at least the dubious merit of brutal honesty and requires the state to engage in the unpleasant business of locking up journalists and suppressing publications. This has the perverse effect we have now in the UK of making people who were formerly unsympathetic to Tommy Robinson feel that the state is heavy handed, and increase people’s curiosity as to what opinions they are not allowed to hear.
