Iranian freedom fighter Amil Imani: Pamela Geller among “the bravest Americans I know”

I have long said it: “Truth is the new hate speech.” We see it again and again: those who speak unwelcome truths are excoriated and vilified, their careers and livelihoods destroyed. Of course the Western intelligentsia looks the other way as people stand for freedom, because it stands for oppression and authoritarianism. I am grateful to Iranian freedom fighter Amil Imani for his kind words.

“Pamela and Robert: Two Among Millions,” by Amil Imani, Capitol Hill Outsider, May 29, 2018:

In times of great danger, truth is being sacrificed by the politically correct, the parochial self-serving in the liberally dominated media, and the ruling class. Against this backdrop, two courageous patriots, tirelessly and ceaselessly speaking the truth and in the defense of liberty while being attacked viciously by the liberal media and Muslims.

Story continues below advertisement

Writing and saluting these two who spend endless times sounding the alarm about the ever-increasing menace Islam posing to America and our way of life, is not enough. We must do more. Unfortunately, apathy, political correctness, and massive Islamic lobbying have successfully prevented the public from truly grasping the all-pervasive Islamic assault on our country. Why aren’t there enough freedom-loving journalists to recognize the valor, courage and bravery of those who have dedicated their lives for the safety and security of this nation? My answer is they fear losing their jobs.

I have time and again stood by Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller for fighting for all Americans. These two brave souls need more than just me writing and saying thank you. These two fighters deserve a Nobel Peace Prize (if that means anything nowadays).

Instead of receiving praise, unfortunately, individuals who dare to voice the truth about Islam, its barbaric Sharia laws and savage practices are subjected to harassment, threatened with ruinous lawsuits. Businesses and organizations with the slightest deviation from Islamic dictates face boycotts and the loss of media advertising sponsors. Again, this is our brave new world.

Both Pamela and Robert are some of the bravest Americans I know. They both constantly face the vilest of attacks from both liberals as well as Muslims for simply telling the truth. I’ll add a footnote here “When one hears the truth, one can only be silent or join the cause.”

George Orwell summed up Gellar [sic] and Spencer and the entire era we are living in a very few words “In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

I ask again, what will it take to wake up the sleeping giant? What horrendous attack would finally convince them that Islam is not like other religions in the United States, that it poses an absolute danger to us and our children unless it is controlled and monitored.

Concurrently, much of academia and many universities throughout the land are generously funded by Islamic governments and organizations to market a highly sanitized and distorted version of Islam to young impressionable minds. Even at the primary school level, a hugely dishonest portrayal of Islam is included in books pupils are required to study.

It is evident that Muslims are unable to withstand honest scrutiny of their beliefs and practices, since they do everything they can to silence courageous people like Robert and Pamela. The evidence supporting this point is overwhelming. Let’s first battle it out instead of unleashing the huge power and funds of numerous governments and organizations to silence individuals.

We must notice that Islam promoters never present the naked face of Islam. They never speak of the Islam that thrives on hate and violence. They never mention throwing acid in the face of women who fail to don the hijab or girls just going to school. They don’t speak of flogging people for sporting non-Islamic haircuts, stoning women to death for violating sexual norms and other forms of Islamic brutalities such as Honor Killing. They never mention child marriages in Islam that allows a man of any age to marry a child as young as nine years of age.

Perhaps civic education and other indicators of assimilation should be a prerequisite for remaining and advancing in this nation. We must be willing to recognize the dangers of the burqa (head-to-toe garb worn by women in some Islamic sects), which allows individuals to completely conceal their identities.  If Muslims are to thrive in America, and if we are to be safe, then we must have ground rules that protect the people from those who disdain the freedoms that most of the world covets.

The growing epidemic of hate has been largely ignored, misunderstood, or downplayed, because of apathy, ignorance, confusion, bigotry, ideology, purported pragmatism, and misguided multiculturalism. Those who value human rights ignore antisemitism at their own risk. Muslim antisemitism provides an acid test of the seriousness of Western liberalism. If the West fails to stem this growing tide, as now seems likely, future affairs will not go well for the true proponents of democracy.

I have experienced firsthand the pall that Islam casts on the life of the individual and society. From cradle to grave, Islam imposes its oppressive, intolerant, and deathly dogma without let-up. This archaic, primitive belief of over 1,400 years ago has been and continues to be at war with valiant people who refuse to bend their necks to its yoke.

I stand with Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, two liberty loving people who stand on frontline fighting for you and me.

1984 arrived;

George Orwell’s Letter On Why He Wrote ‘1984’
In 1944, three years before writing and five years before publishing 1984, George Orwell penned a letter detailing the thesis of his great novel. The letter, warning of the rise of totalitarian police states that will ‘say that two and two are five,’ is reprinted from George Orwell: A Life in Letters, edited by Peter Davison and published today by Liveright. Plus, Orwell’s advice to Arthur Koestler on how to review books.
GEORGE ORWELL
08.12.13 4:45 AM ET
To Noel Willmett

18 May 194410a Mortimer Crescent NW 6

Dear Mr Willmett,

Many thanks for your letter. You ask whether totalitarianism, leader-worship etc. are really on the up-grade and instance the fact that they are not apparently growing in this country and the USA.
I must say I believe, or fear, that taking the world as a whole these things are on the increase. Hitler, no doubt, will soon disappear, but only at the expense of strengthening (a) Stalin, (b) the Anglo-American millionaires and (c) all sorts of petty fuhrers° of the type of de Gaulle. All the national movements everywhere, even those that originate in resistance to German domination, seem to take non-democratic forms, to group themselves round some superhuman fuhrer (Hitler, Stalin, Salazar, Franco, Gandhi, De Valera are all varying examples) and to adopt the theory that the end justifies the means. Everywhere the world movement seems to be in the direction of centralised economies which can be made to ‘work’ in an economic sense but which are not democratically organised and which tend to establish a caste system. With this go the horrors of emotional nationalism and a tendency to disbelieve in the existence of objective truth because all the facts have to fit in with the words and prophecies of some infallible fuhrer. Already history has in a sense ceased to exist, ie. there is no such thing as a history of our own times which could be universally accepted, and the exact sciences are endangered as soon as military necessity ceases to keep people up to the mark. Hitler can say that the Jews started the war, and if he survives that will become official history. He can’t say that two and two are five, because for the purposes of, say, ballistics they have to make four. But if the sort of world that I am afraid of arrives, a world of two or three great superstates which are unable to conquer one another, two and two could become five if the fuhrer wished it.1 That, so far as I can see, is the direction in which we are actually moving, though, of course, the process is reversible.

As to the comparative immunity of Britain and the USA. Whatever the pacifists etc. may say, we have not gone totalitarian yet and this is a very hopeful symptom. I believe very deeply, as I explained in my book The Lion and the Unicorn, in the English people and in their capacity to centralise their economy without destroying freedom in doing so. But one must remember that Britain and the USA haven’t been really tried, they haven’t known defeat or severe suffering, and there are some bad symptoms to balance the good ones. To begin with there is the general indifference to the decay of democracy. Do you realise, for instance, that no one in England under 26 now has a vote and that so far as one can see the great mass of people of that age don’t give a damn for this? Secondly there is the fact that the intellectuals are more totalitarian in outlook than the common people. On the whole the English intelligentsia have opposed Hitler, but only at the price of accepting Stalin. Most of them are perfectly ready for dictatorial methods, secret police, systematic falsification of history2 etc. so long as they feel that it is on ‘our’ side. Indeed the statement that we haven’t a Fascist movement in England largely means that the young, at this moment, look for their fuhrer elsewhere. One can’t be sure that that won’t change, nor can one be sure that the common people won’t think ten years hence as the intellectuals do now. I hope 3 they won’t, I even trust they won’t, but if so it will be at the cost of a struggle. If one simply proclaims that all is for the best and doesn’t point to the sinister symptoms, one is merely helping to bring totalitarianism nearer.

You also ask, if I think the world tendency is towards Fascism, why do I support the war. It is a choice of evils—I fancy nearly every war is that. I know enough of British imperialism not to like it, but I would support it against Nazism or Japanese imperialism, as the lesser evil. Similarly I would support the USSR against Germany because I think the USSR cannot altogether escape its past and retains enough of the original ideas of the Revolution to make it a more hopeful phenomenon than Nazi Germany. I think, and have thought ever since the war began, in 1936 or thereabouts, that our cause is the better, but we have to keep on making it the better, which involves constant criticism.

Yours sincerely,Geo. Orwell

” they were dragging the
chairs out of the cubicles and grouping them in the centre
of the hall opposite the big telescreen, in preparation for
the Two Minutes Hate.”

“As usual, the face of Emmanuel Goldstein, the Enemy of
the People, had flashed on to the screen. There were hisses
here and there among the audience. The little sandy-haired
woman gave a squeak of mingled fear and disgust. Goldstein
was the renegade and backslider who once, long ago
(how long ago, nobody quite remembered), had been one of
the leading figures of the Party, almost on a level with Big
Brother himself, and then had engaged in counter-revolutionary
activities, had been condemned to death, and had
mysteriously escaped and disappeared. The programmes of
the Two Minutes Hate varied from day to day, but there was
none in which Goldstein was not the principal figure. He
was the primal traitor, the earliest defiler of the Party’s purity.
All subsequent crimes against the Party, all treacheries,
acts of sabotage, heresies, deviations, sprang directly out
of his teaching. Somewhere or other he was still alive and
hatching his conspiracies: perhaps somewhere beyond the
sea, under the protection of his foreign paymasters, perhaps
even—so it was occasionally rumoured—in some hidingplace
in Oceania itself.”

The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance
with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had
been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years
ago. But where did that knowledge exist? Only in his own
consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated.
And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—
if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into
history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past,’ ran the
Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present
controls the past.’ And yet the past, though of its nature alterable,
never had been altered. Whatever was true now was
true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All
that was needed was an unending series of victories over
your own memory. ‘Reality control’, they called it: in Newspeak,
‘doublethink’.

“Winston sank his arms to his sides and slowly refilled
his lungs with air. His mind slid away into the labyrinthine
world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to
be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully
constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions
which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory
and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic,
to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe
that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the
guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary
to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the
moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget
it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process
itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to
induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become
unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed.
Even to understand the word ‘doublethink’ involved the
use of doublethink.”

” The past, he reflected, had
not merely been altered, it had been actually destroyed. For
how could you establish even the most obvious fact when
there existed no record outside your own memory?”

“Withers, however, was already an
UNPERSON. He did not exist: he had never existed. Winston
decided that it would not be enough simply to reverse
the tendency of Big Brother’s speech. It was better to make
it deal with something totally unconnected with its original
subject.
He might turn the speech into the usual denunciation of
traitors and thought-criminals, but that was a little too obvious,
while to invent a victory at the front, or some triumph
of over-production in the Ninth Three-Year Plan, might
complicate the records too much. What was needed was a
piece of pure fantasy. Suddenly there sprang into his mind,
ready made as it were, the image of a certain Comrade Ogilvy,
who had recently died in battle, in heroic circumstances.
There were occasions when Big Brother devoted his Order
for the Day to commemorating some humble, rank-and-file
Party member whose life and death he held up as an example
worthy to be followed. Today he should commemorate
Comrade Ogilvy. It was true that there was no such person
as Comrade Ogilvy, but a few lines of print and a couple of
faked photographs would soon bring him into existence.
Winston thought for a moment, then pulled the speakwrite
towards him and began dictating in Big Brother’s
familiar style: a style at once military and pedantic, and,
because of a trick of asking questions and then promptly
answering them (’What lessons do we learn from this fact,
comrades? The lesson—which is also one of the fundamental
principles of Ingsoc—that,’ etc., etc.), easy to imitate.
At the age of three Comrade Ogilvy had refused all toys
except a drum, a sub-machine gun, and a model helicopter.
At six—a year early, by a special relaxation of the rules—he
had joined the Spies, at nine he had been a troop leader. At
eleven he had denounced his uncle to the Thought Police
after overhearing a conversation which appeared to him to
have criminal tendencies. At seventeen he had been a district
organizer of the Junior Anti-Sex League. At nineteen
he had designed a hand-grenade which had been adopted
by the Ministry of Peace and which, at its first trial, had
killed thirty-one Eurasian prisoners in one burst. At twenty-three he had perished in action. Pursued by enemy jet
planes while flying over the Indian Ocean with important
despatches, he had weighted his body with his machine gun
and leapt out of the helicopter into deep water, despatches
and all—an end, said Big Brother, which it was impossible
to contemplate without feelings of envy. Big Brother added a
few remarks on the purity and single-mindedness of Comrade
Ogilvy’s life. He was a total abstainer and a nonsmoker,
had no recreations except a daily hour in the gymnasium,
and had taken a vow of celibacy, believing marriage and the
care of a family to be incompatible with a twenty-four-houra-day
devotion to duty. He had no subjects of conversation
except the principles of Ingsoc, and no aim in life except
the defeat of the Eurasian enemy and the hunting-down of
spies, saboteurs, thoughtcriminals, and traitors generally.”

Agreed! Where are the men? COWARDS, afraid to speak up. Except that Dutch guy.

NO Moslem should be on your soil, yet Demoncraps are bringing them in by the thousands everyday. And they breed like roaches and are unstable, WILD even.

Like Negroes they do not want to work and you must feed, clothe and house them. This is going to BANKRUPT us like unions, which Demoncraps raise your taxes to support.

The Demoncrap and its European equivalent (the lieberal) must be removed from office. These people too, are unstable, mentally ill and unfit for office.

All of this is going to lead to bloodshed and horrific tragedy because of these UNSTABLE and mentally unfit control freaks.

Yet a couple of feet of rope would solve all of this. And it will, AFTER the tragedies. We learned this all too well in World War II, but only after the fact.

Imagine if someone hanged, shot, or killed Hitler before the madman got a hold of Germany?

Even some in his inner circle tried to murder him to no avail. The German people were vulnerable. The Treaty of Versailles was not helpful and festered resentment. The War Guilt clause was draconian.

Unfortunately many males have allowed themselves to be feminized to the extreme of believing they self identity as females. Their role was h-jacked. Today females are supposed to be males and males like females. The role reversal is unhealthy.
