Facebook renser ud med hård hånd og Guardian, som rapporterer det, gør det uden at stille et eneste kritisk spørgsmål. Guardian tigger penge af læserne. Hvor mange læsere bliver der tilbage når en avis går ind for meningskontrol?

Hvis et medie ikke vil forsvare ytringsfriheden for andre, hvordan kan det så tro at det skal kunne udøve sin egen?

Facebook bans Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos and other far-right figures
The company has struggled to control far-right hate speech on the platform in recent years

Denne enkle, indlysende indsigt er der mange blandt de politisk korrekte som ikke forstår. De mener de forsvarer demokratiet når de lukker ned for meninger de ikke kan lide.

Alex Jones blev smidt ud af Facebook for længe siden. Nu røg han også ud af Instagram. Måden Guardian omtaler de udrensede på, er interessant. Det er den type indøvede fraser som man brugte i Sovjetunionen: Modstandere fik bestemte adjektiver hængt på sig som var selvforklarende og samtidig en advarsel til modtageren: Sådan går det også dig, hvis du ikke retter ind.

Accounts barred from Facebook, as well as its subsidiary Instagram, as part of the new enforcement include the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, the far-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos and the anti-Muslim figurehead Laura Loomer. Jones was previously banned from Facebook but still had an account on Instagram, which was no longer live as of Thursday.

Som Guardian bruger begreberne vil Document med lethed kunne kaldes anti-muslimsk eller anti-islamisk. Man er begyndt at indhegne modstanderne, og hegnene vil blive større. Det er bare et spørgsmål om tid.

Det er nok at kritisere Ilhan Omar eller Jeremy Corbyn for at være antisemitter, som tilfældet Laura Loomer viser.

Loomer har arbejdet for Rebel Media som også er stemplet ”far-right”. Rebel Media ledes af Ezra Levant som Document har mødt på et møde i Trykkefrihedsselskabet i København. Han er en modig forsvarer af ytringsfriheden.

Det er sådanne Facebook og Guardian kalder “far right”.

Det er et farligt spil kontrollørerne og overdommerne driver, for dobbeltspillet er let gennemskueligt: Hvis det er anti-islamisk at påpege Ilhan Omars antisemitisme, hvad er da Facebook og Guardian om ikke allieret med antisemitter?

Folk er ikke så dumme som disse mediehuse tror. De har for stor appetit og har for travlt.

Grundlæggende er det vanskeligt at skjule sine spor i et digitalt samfund.

Facebook: Bare begyndelsen

Når man har sagt A må man også sige B:

“We’ve always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology,” a Facebook spokesperson said. “The process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to our decision to remove these accounts today.”

Men politiske aktivister på venstrefløjen har fået blod på tanden. De presser Facebook til at smide endnu flere ud.

Critics say Facebook has not, in fact, “always” banned individuals engaging in violence and hate. The company has often grappled with controlling far-right hate speech on the platform in recent years. Figures like Jones, Loomer and Yiannopoulus were able to cultivate a huge reach using the platform, making Facebook’s move “insufficient”, said Cristina López G, the deputy director for extremism at Media Matters for America, a not-for-profit media watchdog.

“This is a step in the right direction, and it shows exactly why Facebook needs to be thinking about enforcement in a more holistic way,” she said. “Facebook can help curb the spread of extremism, hate and bigotry that flourished on its platforms if it remains open to reforming enforcement measures.

Media Matters for America er en organisation ledet af David Brook som vader i Hillary-penge og ikke skyr nogen midler for at ramme deres modstandere. Det var Media Matters som organiserede demonstrationer udenfor Fox News studier for at diskreditere Tucker Carlson.

De, som reagerer på at Trump kalder medierne for folkets fjender, bør se lidt nærmere på hvilke metoder CNN og deres allierede som Media Matters er villige til at bruge.

CNN er også blevet aktivister. Det var dem, som førte an for at få Alex Jones smidt ud af Facebook. Det lykkedes og de som frygtede at dette bare var første skridt, fik ret.

Laura Loomer

Tilfældet Laura Loomer er interessant, for Loomer konfronterede CNN-journalisten, som gik i spidsen for kampagnen mod Alex Jones.

Wikipedia-artiklen om Loomer er systematisk diskrediterende, men alle de stunts Loomer har gennemført gør at hun kommer ud “on the top”, og Wikipedia viser at de har kastet al objektivitet på bålet når det gælder højresiden.

Under overskriften Career finder vi:

Loomer is a former employee of James O’Keefe, a conservative activist known for producing selectively edited undercover video investigations.^[27]Until her resignation in September 2017, Loomer was the New York correspondent for the conservative Canadian far-right news site The Rebel Media, which has been referred to as the “Canadian Breitbart.”^[6][28]

On March 1, 2019, Loomer had her press credentials revoked by the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference after Loomer heckled CNNreporter Oliver Darcy with questions about internet censorship and social media bans.^[29] In response to being removed from the event, Loomer stated, “The reason why I confronted Oliver Darcy is because Oliver Darcy led a lobbying initiative as an employee of CNN to have Alex Jones de-platformed from Twitter. Oliver Darcy is a perpetual victim. He is constantly advocating for people to be banned and silenced. As a member of the media, Oliver Darcy should respect our First Amendment right.”^[30]

Så længe det var venstresiden, der brugte aktioner var det ok, deres fortid i 60-erne glorificeres, og selv vold bliver i dag godtaget, hvis det er venstresiden, som bruger den. Men selv uskyldige stunts får alvorlige følger, hvis de udføres af en person fra højresiden.

Laura Loomer har fået mange tæv, men det har bare gjort hende endnu mere beslutsom.

Lad os minde om at venstreaktivisterne i 60-erne blev terrorister, da de mødte statens magt. Det er højresiden ikke blevet, indtil nu. Det er et tankevækkende og vigtigt faktum. Folk som Anders Behring Breivik og Brenton Tarrant var ensomme ulve, mens Røde Brigader og RAF var kollektive grupper med en klar ideologi.

Flere af Loomers stunts er morsomme:

In June 2017, Loomer gave a speech to a crowd of anti-sharia marchers in New York City and condemned “liberals who aligned themselves with sharia law.”^[35] Loomer put a burqa on the Fearless Girl statue adjacent to the Merrill Lynch building.^[36]

On June 7, 2017, at a Chelsea Clinton book signing event in New York City, Loomer asked Chelsea to sign a copy of her new children’s book She Persisted to Juanita Broaddrick, one of former President Bill Clinton‘s most persistent accusers. The former first daughter refused to sign it.^[37]

Men det synes Chelsea ikke. At bruge venstresidens metoder mod dem selv er majestætsfornærmelse og opfattes som en alvorlig trussel.

Sommeren 2017 vakte det opsigt at en teatergruppe satte ”Julius Cæsar” op i Central Park i New York, med en Trump-figur som Cæsar, der til slut bliver myrdet.

Dette var helt ok for den liberale elite, som ikke længere var liberal.

On June 16, 2017, Loomer disrupted the Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar in New York City, by walking on stage during the live performance shortly after Caesar was assassinated.^[38] Before being escorted off the stage by security, Loomer shouted “Stop the normalization of political violence against the right! This is unacceptable!”^[39] The play portrayed a “Trump-like” Caesar with a Slovenian-accented wife.^[40] Loomer, who is pro-Trump, was arrested for disorderly conduct and trespassing.^[41][42] The Public Theater responded by saying although they’re “champions” of the First Amendment, the disruption was caused by “social media”.^[43] On June 19, 2017, Alyssa Rosenberg of The Washington Post wrote that she didn’t believe Loomer was genuinely offended by the play, and that she disrupted it for attention and to collect a $1,000 bounty that was offered to anyone who would disrupt the production.^[44]

On June 19, 2017, as a guest on the Fox News program Hannity, Loomer admitted she knew that disrupting the Shakespeare in the Park play would result in criminal charges against her. During the interview, Loomer compared the “Trump-like” Caesar assassination to a May 2017 video of former CNN host Kathy Griffin holding a mask of a bloody severed head of President Donald Trump, Loomer called the Caesar play and the Griffin video “assassination porn” and accused the “left” of a systematic pattern of using free speech and art as a pretext to promote violence against Donald Trump and the “right”.^[45]

De kvindelige aktivister, som afbrød Kavanaugh-høringen i Senatets justitskomité blev dækket med sympati af medierne. Men da Loomer gjorde det samme under tidligere FBI-chef James Comeys boglancering, blev hun arresteret og stuntet kommer på hendes straffeattest for at vise hvor ondsindet hun er.

Loomer disrupted an event promoting James Comey’s book A Higher Loyalty. She was taken out of the building by security.^[50]

Venstresidens metoder mod Ilhan Omar fremstilles som krænkelser af Wikipedia.

In August 2018, Loomer disrupted a campaign event for Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar attended by Michigan House candidate Rashida Tlaib. Loomer shouted questions which implied that Tlaib was anti-Semitic, and repeated as fact an unsubstantiated rumor that Tlaib had married her brother for immigration purposes.^[51][52]

In September 2018, Loomer briefly disrupted a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing. Loomer accused Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who was giving testimony before the committee, of censoring conservatives on the platform and of attempting to influence the election in favor of Democrats. Republican Representative Billy Long, who was an auctioneer before joining Congress, drowned her shouting out with an auction chantuntil she was escorted from the building.^[53]

Det hører med til historien at den samme Jack Dorsey ringede til Ilhan Omar og beklagede, at de havde slettet en tweet fra hende.

Twitter forsvarer Omar på samme måde som islamister er blevet forsvaret i Europa/Norge: Eliten tager deres parti. Det er kritikerne, der er noget galt med.

In November 2018, Loomer was banned from Twitter for a tweet about newly-elected Muslim congressperson Ilhan Omar in which Loomer called Omar “anti-Jewish”, and described her as a member of a religion in which “homosexuals are oppressed” and women are “abused” and “forced to wear the hijab.”^[17] A week following the ban, she handcuffed herself to the front door of the Twitter headquarters in New York City in protest while wearing a yellow “Jude” patch.^[54] After approximately two hours, police removed the handcuffs with a bolt cutter. Loomer was not arrested.^[55][56]

Men det bliver alvorligere når kritikerne ikke længere får lov til at fremføre deres kritik. Ilhan Omar er antisemit og islamist. Men det er ikke lovligt at sige det. Kritikerne skal bringes til tavshed.

Alliancen Big Tech, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Demokraterne, anti-Trump-medier og rigmænd som George Soros og Tom Steyer er frygtindgydende. Men de frygter hvad Trump kan finde på hvis han vinder en ny periode.

At politikerne godtager, at banker og betalingstjenester kan politiseres, er med til at svække vælgernes tillid til dem.

Loomer was banned from PayPal on February 5, 2019. In response, Loomer wrote that she would take action against “the Left wing terrorists and tech tyrants who are trying to shut me down.” “I have nothing to lose anymore,” she wrote, “so trust me when I say I will stop at nothing to make sure justice is served for the way Silicon Valley has disenfranchised me, falsely accusing me of being a white supremacist, a Nazi, anti-Muslim, a racist, a bigot, and every other smear in the book.” Loomer had been banned from Twitter in November 2018 for hate speech against Representative Ilhan Omar, and is also banned from GoFundMe and Venmo.^{[61]  ….}

In May 2019, Facebook and its Instagram subsidiary banned Loomer and several other high-profile far-right extremists from using the company’s services for spreading misinformation and extremism.^[64]

Demokraterne går ind for åbne grænser, de kalder de illegale migranter for “de virkelige amerikanere”. Tucker Carlson har påpeget at alle disse rige Demokrater selv bor bag høje mure.

On January 14, 2019, Loomer and several men she met in a Home Depot parking lot and tricked into following her jumped the fence at Nancy Pelosi‘s Napa, California, home and set up a tent on her lawn to protest immigration. A Loomer crew member told a reporter it was legal to jump the fence since there were not any “No Trespassing” signs posted.^{[57][58] ..}

On January 30, Loomer and others jumped the wall surrounding the California Governor’s Mansion in Sacramento, California, they said to protest Governor Gavin Newsom‘s stance on immigration. They wore Mexican serapes and sombreros, with one wearing a “large fake mustache”. They were arrested, given citations, and released within a few hours. The group then provoked a confrontation outside a Mexican restaurant in downtown Sacramento. They live-streamed their activities.^[59][60]

Det er konsekvent at Loomers kritik af Omars antisemitisme stemples af Wikipedia.

Several days later, on January 19, Loomer attempted to interrupt a speaker at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C. Loomer went onstage and shouted “The Women’s March does not represent Jewish people,” calling it a Nazi organization. As she was escorted off by security, she continued, shouting “What about the Jews?” A video of the event was posted on Twitter.^[58]

Kritikere af dagens herskende klasse skal smides ud af de sociale medier, fordi disse ejes af mennesker, som er deres modstandere. Ingen ”fair play” her. I Europa kommer i tillæg ”love mod had”. Alliancen med islam begynder at blive så stærk, at selv seriøs kritik stemples som had. Hvad dette vil gøre ved det sociale klima i tillæg til de virkelige problemer, er næsten ikke til at fatte. Der findes ingen erkendelse blandt journalistser i medierne om hvad det er, de er med til. De strammer skruen mere og mere.

Love om ”Hate-speech” har ikke samme gennemslagskraft i USA. Europæere bør bygge alliancer med frihedselskende amerikanere og bruge dem, for de har værdi.

Fremfor alt gælder det om at bevare fornuften.

Læs wikipedia- artiklen om Laura Loomer og se hvilke våben de har smidt. Tommy Robinson har fået samme behandling, og i Storbritannien er det værre end i USA.
