If you want to know the well from which a lot of the anti-Muslim activism comes from, look no further than this scumbag. David Horowitz’s “Freedom Center” – which in truth prides itself in promoting freedom and the rights that come with it so long as he and his friends are the ones enjoying them – has been the sponsor of a lot of anti-Muslim events on college campuses, most notably the times you see well-known Islamophobes Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer on those campuses or when those same two clowns promote anti-Muslim ads on the sides of buses. Before he made hating Muslims full time, his hate was directed mostly towards Black people, using the tired excuse of being disenchanted with the Black Panthers in the sixties. And of course with that comes the nod to White Supremacists, as he has made available for download on his Frontpagemag website, the racist propaganda that White Supremacist Jared Taylor called a study titled “The Color of Crime”. And let’s not forget that Taylor’s contemporaries like Jim Lubinskas of Taylor’s New Century Foundation and the late Lawrence Auster were also contributors to Frontpagemag.
Well, believe it or not, Horowitz says he is now and advisor to Donald Trump and is touting a new book promoting Trump’s agenda. So he’s on the circuit hyping that up, and that will land him at the Constitution Center where he wants you to pay money for his free speech. And he will lecture you on the virtues of freedom of speech, while he tells you why Muslims, people of color and liberals should not be allowed it, especially if they say something bad about him. It was kind of a bit of projection when he said, “There can be no peace with someone who wants to kill you.” We should take that one to heart.
Now in its 13th year, Left Forum has grown into one the largest annual convergences of the left. The 2016 conference featured over 350 workshops/panels, multiple musical performances and film screenings, a comedy show, and a large grassroots-organization/book fair. In 2016, over 4000 people – including artists, activists, and great thinkers from around the globe – were drawn to NYC to engage in critical discussions and debates, build coalititions, socialize with new friends and long-time allies, learn, reflect, and strategize for a new future.
Building our collective strength as a movement and as a community committed to social justice is more important than ever. Join us for Left Forum 2017
Held every summer in Detroit, the conference brings together a vibrant and diverse community of people using media to incite change: filmmakers, radio producers, technologists, youth organizers, writers, entrepreneurs, musicians, dancers, and artists. We define “media” as anything you use to communicate with the world. You are a media-maker!
Allied Media Projects defines media-based organizing as any collaborative process that uses media, art, or technology to address the roots of problems and advances holistic solutions towards a more just and creative world.
The Allied Media Conference is a collaboratively designed event. Conference content is curated with care every year by 100+ volunteer coordinators of tracks, practice spaces, and network gatherings. The conference features over 300 hands-on workshops, panels, film screenings, Detroit tours, art and music events, strategy sessions, karaoke, bowling, collaborative art and more!
It was first announced on Stormfront and immediately it started going through the antifa circles, so you know that AmRen 2017 is going to be met with opposition. They know it too. That’s probably why the theme of this year’s conference is “Turning the Tide”, That’s not just a reference to what they think might be happening during Trump’s reign. It is also the name of a popular antifa publication by Anti-Racist Action L.A.-People Against Racist Terror! That’s a good sign that they are picking a fight, particularly with antifa, but after years of going it alone throwing Jared Taylor & Co. out on their asses from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to the Washington, DC area to Charlotte, NC, antifa are finding out that thanks to the Electoral College giving Trump the White House they are joined. Significantly. So Montgomery Bell Park Inn just might find itself with the biggest anti-AmRen rally they have seen since AmRen had been hosting conferences there in 2013.
Now for those who don’t know, this is at a conference center at Montgomery Bell State Park. It’s 45 minutes from Nashville, Tennessee and there is no public transportation there. They chose this location not just because it is a public facility – which means by the way that the public has a right to be inside the conference center that we should say has a great restaurant – but because it is so remote. That’s not going to deter folks this time around, and the fact that this is taking place in the summer as opposed to the usual spring outings they have, expect that even more.
We will have more information about this as things develop.
