[ May 1, 2024 ]
Today is the third anniversary of the jihadi attack on our free speech event in Garland, Texas. I know of no commemorations or remembrance of the brave Americans who staved off the attack in Garland. Unlike “Boston Strong” (they have been anything but), Garland was truly “Garland Strong.” Taking out those jihadis was a real American response, and we had the best of all possible outcomes. San Bernardino and Chattanooga and Orlando and the other jihad attacks since then were Garland without guns.
As for me, how am I commemorating? I am alive, that’s how.
Yet three years after jihadis attacked our Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in defense of free speech, the Western establishment media, and most of the political class, is in full surrender mode. In the wake of the Garland jihad attacks, the world says: let the bullies silence you. Don’t draw Muhammad. Comply with their other demands.

Garland changed everything for my colleagues and me. Its personal toll has been enormous. It has affected our lives and our careers in innumerable ways, all of them negative. Our security costs are now astronomical. We cannot step outside without remembering that we are hunted, and at any time jihadis could strike at us.
We went into the event with our eyes open. We knew the risks. But we knew the risks were greater, for our children and our children’s children, if we allowed the freedom of speech to be destroyed by violent intimidation.
Yet still we were cast as the villains. An imam told Sean Hannity that I should be executed. Non-Muslim media and political figures agreed with him that in standing for free speech, I had provoked the jihadis. Fox News host Martha McCallum pleaded with me to respect Islam and constrain myself. Bill O’Reilly said I “spurred” the violence. Erin Burnett accused me of “relishing” being targeted for beheading.
Alisyn Camerota on CNN battled with me, trying to bully me into adhering to sharia law.
Chris Cuomo was almost brought to tears by the thought of drawing Muhammad. Juan Williams and I had a knock-down drag out on Hannity. Geraldo Rivera compared me to the Aryan Nation, skinheads, and the KKK, and said, “Every time I see her on TV, I want to take a shower.” Carly Fiorina likened our free speech event to white supremacist marching.
The list is long. The leftist networks (i.e., MSNBC) were unhinged. I could go on, but you get the picture.
We were right. The media lynch mob was extraordinarily short-sighted. Yet even now, people are still afraid to have me speak. What have we learned since Garland? Nothing. But here is what we know and what the media does not deign to cover, as they are too consumed with destroying President Trump. The mediasphere is devoid of actual news now.
I have been covering jihad activity 24/7/365 for the past 15 years. I am stunned that we are more cowed than ever. Stunned that my colleagues and I are still blacklisted, shunned, and demonized. Stunned that hate groups such as the SPLC and terror-tied groups like CAIR and ISNA are given the imprimatur of legitimacy by the media and academic elites. Stunned, in light of the rivers of blood.
The biggest news that has come out regarding the Garland jihad attack since it happened is that the FBI egged on the attackers, and did not have a team in place to stop them. The corruption in the FBI is at extraordinary levels. Garland was the first sign of it. And the swamp has not been drained.
This anniversary is nothing to celebrate.

The lame stream media in their bought and paid for grovelling to islam, are reaping the benefits of being a cottage industry of grubs and whores that has lost relevance, influence and is merely a side show of stooges prostituting their clumsy tricks for advertising dollars, which advertisers are seeing as money wasted as the slack jawed yokels the media panders to, are not consumers of anything other than welfare.

As someone who was there, I have been trying to find an appropriate form of action. It will take some doing, but Pam had the right idea about having a Constitutional Convention, same as the founders did that set the stage for the Revolutionary War. Her being left out of CPAC and all the unconstitutional things that are happening shows its need. We have a lawful established construct within which to proceed, common law grand juries. It requires 25 people on the grand jury, as per Magna Carta, and about 5 others to meet the requirements. They must 1st all be from the same county, or parish, and be of good moral character. There are established procedures to do this. Once requirements are met, all one has to do is make a presentment to the grand jury properly explaining that people identify as muslins and are engaged in meeting and promoting Islam and the grand jury has no other option than to stop all that activity. The grand jury indictment moves to a trial where anyone who is involved is 1. deported 2. fined or property seized 3. charged with treason. The jury has a little latitude depending on exactly what the evidence presented dictates. As for enforcement of this fall to a constitutional Sheriff, and who ever he sees fit to deputize, and the militia. Just about all current Sheriffs are LEO’s and are at the discretion of UN rulings. They work for a corporation, not the people. This is all a tangled mess, and it took a long time to bring this about. If you took the grand jury indictment to a LEO, he can disregard it as it does not come from his employers, the corporate government services providers. You can not use a bar attorney lawyer in any of these proceedings as they have taken an oath to the corporation, not for the people.

Leftists believe this was all Pamela Geller’s fault. Why would you stir up a hornet’s nest, I have heard people say. We should expect violence and killings. On the other hand, artists put a crucifix in a jar of urine and paint the Virgin Mary with feces and nothing happens to them, other than critical praise. Would Christians ever demand their murders, and the murders of those who attended their exhibitions? What does that say about the two religious beliefs (and the left)?

And the Attorney General is going to get to the bottom of it, right?
Those in politics and the media who see fit to squelch Pamela’s First Amendment rights to freedom of expression need to be reminded that the constitutional liberties that allow her to do so are the very same constitutional liberties that allow political discourse and a free media to even exist in the first place.

What is happening to the “fbi” terrorist enablers? The last I heard was the ‘fbi’ was trying to keep them out of court with charges leveled against them with the language bru-ha-ha of the DemocRATic communist/muslem party members.

Isn’t that what MSM does “blame the victims not the terrorists”? This is why i listen to FOX with a very skeptical ear. Too bad they don’t mention the FBI telling the terrorists to go get Texas when they could have prevented the whole thing. The FBI should be disbanded for we cannot trust them anymore.

Agreed Pamela, you’d think that people would rise up and unite against this evil death cult. Instead they all went into coward-appeasement mode. But the trouble is leadership-if the elites don’t see Islam as a threat (or are complicit like Obama), then people are left to fend for themselves against a well organized criminal gang who have chapters (mosques) all over the world.
Muslims have “power” as a mob to target anti-Islamic individuals because of the very fact that our non-Muslim mob is non-existent or stifled by in-fighting. Imagine for a moment that both Right and Left united against Islam-then the Muslims would be watching their words and pretend to be moderate for fear they could end up being captured by the FBI and sent to Gitmo as potential terrorists.
The reality is that we are stronger and more numerous than Muslims within our own countries and as nations we are far more powerful than Islamic states. If the OIC for instance felt Muslims were stronger, they wouldn’t have hesitated to declare jihad on us all, but they know they can’t defeat us on the battlefield which is why they’re using mass immigration and high birthrates to eventually outnumber us. This strategy has been extremely successful in 3rd world countries and if we don’t stop them, it’ll happen in our countries as well.
All we really lack as non-Muslims is unity-which requires people to be brave and to take sides, to reject/ostracize the Muslim community, to refuse to date or marry them or do business with them, or rent to them, etc. This strategy was very effective is neutralizing Muslims in countries like India. It may even encourage Muslims to return to a Sharia-compliant country where they’ll be happier. (sarc)
But for that to happen we need mass education. To this day even many educated people still know next to nothing about Islam, which is why so many gullible fools take the Muslim’s side. Either education or another half-dozen 9/11 level attacks will wake up the population and make them realize Islam is this century’s Nazism.

for that to happen … your legal system/constitution needs to officially declare islam as illegal things …
even idiot goats know that it’s NOT GOING TO HAPPEN …
equalling islam with nazism is just plain ignorant …
you can do that ..but you degrade yourself as fascist … and it won’t last long …

Nothing has been “effective” at “neutralizing Muslims” in India. the 180 million muslums there, even though a minority, have managed to expunge from India’s educational system any mention of how the f’ing muslums became the dominant religion across the Indian sub-continent. I don’t even know if India’s educational system bothers to mention the almost 2.5 million Hindus slaughtered in Bangladesh in the 1970’s. The gigantic 5th column of muslums in India have compromised India’s democracy to the point of being ineffective against the threat muslums pose to everyone not-a-muslim in India because quantity has a quality all it’s own.

One day Pamela Geller will be appreciated for the heroine she is. Other brave men and women are fighting this good fight (Ayaan, Brigitte, Raheel, Milo, Ben, Candace, Dr. Jordan, etc.) but none are more brave than her. As the hateful Islamists and their enablers are unmasked, and as Jihadi violence increases world wide, the cowardly Progressive apologists will lose their influence to those willing to exercise their inalienable right to speak freely. It’s taking far too long, but it is happening and will continue.
