Facebook has been picking on me lately so I am gratified to
read that Laura Loomer is suing Facebook and that lawmakers are paying
attention with looming legislation on Facebook censorship.
******************** LOOMERED: Facebook Admits They Are a Publisher in New
Explosive Court Documents A lawsuit filed by banished journalist Laura Loomer
has forced Facebook to admit they are a publisher.
The tech behemoth Facebook has admitted that it is a
publisher while defending its arbitrary censorship of banished
journalist Laura Loomer, according to court documents.
Facebook banned Loomer’s account from their platform during
a purge of popular conservative voices that happened in May. Others targeted by
the purge included Milo Yiannopoulos, Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson. Loomer
is striking back with a lawsuit that is unearthing some interesting revelations
about the social media monolith.
“Under well-established law, neither Facebook nor any other
publisher can be liable for failing to publish someone else’s message,”
Facebook’s attorneys wrote.
Lol Laura Loomer got Zuckerberg to
admit to being a publisher. Good work Laura pic.twitter.com/8JECWLruAZ
Facebook actually has the audacity to claim that their 1st
Amendment rights are being violated by Loomer’s lawsuit, in a total contorting
of reality. They have filed a motion to dismiss the case.
“She claims Facebook labeled her as a ‘dangerous’ person who
promotes hate – yet, the First Amendment has long protected such statements
because they are opinions that are not capable of being proven true or false,”
Facebook’s attorneys claim in their dismissal motion.
Right now, Facebook is protected under Section 230 of the
Communications Decency Act from being held liable for the content published on
their platform. This special exemption worked fine when the social network
engaged in relative neutrality, but those days are no more as Big Tech is at
war with conservative and pro-Trump voices.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has introduced
legislation to reform Section 230 and make the special immunity
privileges contingent on Facebook and other tech providers remaining non-biased
in how they curate content on their platforms:
As it states right now, Section 230 states that “no provider
or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or
speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”
Howley’s bill, the Ending Support for Internet Censorship
Act, would remove that exemption for Big Tech firms if they act like publishers
instead of neutral platforms. Corporations would have to comply with external
audits proving their algorithms and content moderation are not biased.
“With Section 230, tech companies get a sweetheart deal that
no other industry enjoys: complete exemption from traditional publisher
liability in exchange for providing a forum free of political censorship,”
Hawley said in a statement. “Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly, big tech has
failed to hold up its end of the bargain.”
“There’s a growing list of evidence that shows big tech
companies making editorial decisions to censor viewpoints they disagree with,”
Hawley added. “Even worse, the entire process is shrouded in secrecy because
these companies refuse to make their protocols public. This legislation simply
states that if the tech giants want to keep their government-granted immunity,
they must bring transparency and accountability to their editorial processes
and prove that they don’t discriminate.”
Facebook is being increasingly forced to admit damaging
information about its business model due to various lawsuits filed
against the embattled corporation.
“There is no invasion of privacy at all, because there is no
privacy,” Facebook attorney Orin Snyder admitted in court back in June, while
describing the social network as a “digital town square” of sorts.
Facebook is providing ammunition for its critics to build a
case to change the regulations so they can no longer inflict the Orwellian
nightmare upon conservatives.

CPAC is supposed to be the paragon annual meeting of
Conservative voices. Perhaps no longer a paragon and now merely a voice of
approved-only Conservative voices. Laura Loomer experienced CPAC censorship and
Michelle Malkin calls wishy-washy (perhaps RINO or Establishment – you decide)
Conservatives that meet CPAC approval.
Laura Loomer confronted CNN’s Oliver Darcy at CPAC over
his part in getting Alex Jones banned from Twitter and Facebook. The CPAC gods
decided confronting Fake News CNN was heckling rather than a holding account
for censorship. (Face it - agree, disagree, love or mock Alex Jones for his tactics and conspiracy
theories is no reason for censorship in America. Facebook is currently
censoring my SlantRight 2.0 blog so I feel that pain.) Thus CPAC,
pulled Laura Loomer press credentials. Here is Loomer confronting Darcy:
On Friday March 1, 2019, Laura
Loomer confronted CNN reporter Oliver Darcy about why he abused his position at
CNN to lobby Facebook and Twitter to ban Alex Jones.
Darcy and CNN have been celebrating
the de-platforming of Conservatives and have been advocating for Conservatives
to be banned on social media for their political speech.
It is an abuse of power and
violation of journalistic values as a journalist to lobby big tech companies to
censor and silence conservatives.
After Loomer confronted CNN, Soros
funded Right Wing Watch, which is a branch of the SPLC pressured CPAC to revoke
her credentials. SPLC is a radical left- wing organization that works to defame
and sabotage Conservatives.
Why did CPAC ban a conservative
journalist from watching President Trump speak while allowing "Fake News
CNN" and radical Left wing SPLC & Soros tied "Right Wing
Watch" to keep their press credentials? I thought CNN was Fake News?
And then there is Michelle Malkin having the cajones to call
out Never-Trumper Conservatives on the CPAC podium. I wonder if she gets an
invite in 2020?
The
Hill has a good summary of Malkin calling out Never Trumpers
(minus videos since already posted above):
Michelle Malkin goes after 'the
ghost of John McCain' at CPAC
BY RACHEL FRAZIN - 03/01/19
02:20 PM EST
Conservative commentator Michelle
Malkin attacked the "ghost of John McCain" during a speech at the Conservative
Political Action Conference on Friday.
“Sanctuary cities have metastasized
and both parties are to blame,” Malkin said. “And yes, I’m looking at you,
retired [Speaker] Paul Ryan; and yes, I’m looking
at you, [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell; and yes, I’m looking at you, Bush family;
and yes, I’m looking at you, the ghost of John McCain.”
She pointed upward while directing
her fury at McCain's ghost, at which point several people in the
crowd gave Malkin a standing ovation.
McCain, a longtime senator from
Arizona and the Republican Party's 2008 nominee for president, died last
year from brain cancer. He was a frequent critic of the Trump
administration.
Mrs. Michelle Malkin delivered a strong call-to-arms at CPAC
surrounding the insufferable Big Club’s republican corporate agenda toward
immigration.

[Video of speech deleted
– watch above]
[Transcript] Good afternoon.
Thank you to CPAC for the invitation. My name is Michelle Malkin. I identify as
an American. A proud, unhyphenated, unapologetic, fully assimilated American.
My pronouns are U.S.A.
America is good and America is great. Of these basic truths,
there is or should be little dispute among us here. But two questions loom
large: 1) For how long will the America we grew up in remain good and great?
And 2) To whom shall we entrust the existential responsibility of securing the
goodness and greatness passed down peacefully for generations?
I wish I could stand here and chirp happily to you about
positive news. Yes, unemployment rates are at historic lows, regulations and
taxes are being cut, some stellar judges have been confirmed, and the reckless,
feckless liberal media has finally, finally self-immolated like a slow-motion
downing of the Hindenburg.
Yes, we have much to thank President Trump for as he battles
the Beltway swamp, the deep state, the administrative state, and the fake news
fourth estate. But there is no sugarcoating America’s long-term forecast. We
face fearful odds. The game is rigged. The playing field is manifestly unlevel.
My first book Invasion in 2002, exposed how border failures
and systemic non-enforcement of our visa program rules created a national
security crisis that led to 9/11. My last book, Sold Out, which I co-authored
in 2015 with former American computer programmer-turned-labor lawyer John
Miano, documented how Big Business and Big Government created an economic
crisis by exploiting the H-1B tech worker visa program and other foreign
employment visas for cheap labor.
I’ve been accused of being a grifter for wanting to inform
and educate citizens about these destructive rackets. But it’s the GOP sellouts
in bed with open borders – like the ones who hijacked the tea party movement to
shill for amnesty – who are the real grifters cashing in and practicing deceit
at the expense of their base.
Our shining city on a hill has become a much-abused doormat
to the world. Building the border wall is just half the battle. The numbers
tell all. Our future is dimmed. The odds are fearful.
We currently grant one million legal permanent residencies
to people from around the world every year. The number of green card holders is
expected to increase by 10 million by 2025. That’s more than the current
combined population of Dallas, St. Louis, Denver, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles,
and Atlanta. Now multiply that number by at least three and a half.
Thanks to our chain migration system, created in 1952 and
expanded exponentially by Congress in 1965 and 1990, these new immigrants can
sponsor their entire extended families: parents, spouses, adult children and
their children, and siblings and their children. Princeton University
researchers found that recently admitted immigrants sponsored an average of
3.45 additional relatives each.
An estimated 85,000 refugees and 20,000-plus asylees enter
the country annually through an overwhelmed system so rife with fraud and abuse
that the process is jokingly dubbed “refugee roulette” by immigration lawyers.
In total, from fiscal year 2008 to 2017, the U.S. gave green cards to more than
2 million migrants for various humanitarian claims – a population larger than
the city of Philadelphia.
Nearly half a million more immigrants in that time frame got
in through the diversity visa lottery. Illegal aliens are eligible if a legal
family member wins the jackpot. Tens of thousands are pouring in from terrorism
breeding grounds through the lottery unvetted, unmonitored and unassimilated.
Thanks again to chain migration, immigration lotto winners’ spouses and
unmarried children under 21 all get passes into the country, too.
Nearly half of all illegal aliens in the country have
violated the terms of their short-term visitor or work visas. More than 10.8
million people received such visas alone in fiscal year 2015, including 500,000
foreign university and graduate students on academic visas and nearly 700,000
total foreign guest workers (both skilled and unskilled, not to mention their
spouses, many of whom are allowed to work here as well).
Congress has repeatedly mandated a nationwide visa
entry-exit system to track legal short-term visa holders. But one has yet to be
built—even in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which were perpetrated in
part by several illegal alien visa overstayers. E-verify has been stalled.
Sanctuary cities metastasized. And BOTH parties are to blame – yeah I’m looking
at you, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, the Bush family, Mitt Romney and the ghost
of John McCain.
This unrelenting inflow of new green card holders,
short-term foreign visa holders, legal temporary workers, refugees and asylees
is supplemented by 13 to 30 million illegal aliens who expect amnesty and chain
migration privileges from Washington despite breaking immigration laws
governing everything from border jumping to ID fraud, benefits fraud, tax
fraud, and marriage fraud, to human and drug trafficking, to employment rules,
deportation orders, and visa overstays.
The feds have proved themselves serially unwilling and incapable
of handling the lapses, backlogs, overload, and yes, invasion. The numbers tell
all. Open borders anarchy, multiplied by endless chain migration, amnesty, and
cheap labor pipelines, endangers our general welfare and the blessings of
liberty. By every clear measure, the war is not on immigrants but on American
sovereignty.
I’ve been called white for stating the facts. I’m not white.
I’m just right. Both native-born and immigrant families like mine, which revere
the rule of law, common traditions, constitutional principles, one identity and
one tongue, have been replaced by militantly unassimilable and hostile
generations…of future Democrat voters whose tribal allegiance to the Left has
only hardened over time.
It’s insane that we have elected Republicans on Capitol Hill
doing the bidding of the illegal alien DREAMer racket. Until and unless we
reclaim the right of self-determination over the numbers, we are doomed.
My fellow Americans, we stand at the bridge as Horatius
stood at the narrow bridge over the Tiber River alone facing fearful odds as
hordes of Etruscans marched towards him and cowards cut and run behind him.
Like his enemies, our enemies are both foreign AND domestic.
Inside are flimsily defended borders, we are not at peace,
or rather, the radical Left is not at peace with us. From the comfort of TV
green rooms, Beltway backrooms, corporate boardrooms, and conference ballrooms,
it may not look like civil war is imminent. But threats and outright violence
against ordinary, law-abiding people are now regularized features, not random
bugs, of political life in these dis-United States.
College students are being punched, elderly citizens are
being harassed, MAGA hat wearers are being kicked off planes and assaulted in
school hallways and restaurants, conservative speakers are being mobbed and
Molotov cocktailed, ICE agents and their families are being targeted,
pro-lifers are being kicked and menaced, pro-Trump, anti-jihad moms on social
media are being monitored and doxxed.
The madness is beyond parody.
Last week, social justice media warriors whipped up hysteria
over a Mar a Lago pastry chef’s Instagram posts. Where are the sanctuary spaces
for law-abiding conservatives who simply want to exercise their rights to free
speech and peaceable assembly?
The divide in this country is between decent people who
stand up for America and dastardly people who want to bring America to its
knees.
We certainly should make common cause with others across the
aisle who shares our values, but we should not rush to embrace those whose
fundamental aim is to smear and destroy us all. That’s suicidal. Which is why I
cannot stand here and stay silent about the role Van Jones has played in
attempting to silence the Right.
My objection is not to his support for criminal justice
reform. I have dedicated much of my own time, energy, and money to fighting
wrongful convictions, false allegations, and prosecutorial and forensic
misconduct. Next time you need a conservative to talk about criminal justice
reform, call me. You don’t need someone who’s going to spew fake news pro
illegal alien propaganda to talk CJR to conservatives.
Fact check: The most recent research by the Federation for
American Immigration Reform found that illegal aliens are up to 5.5 times more
likely than Americans to be incarcerated in state prisons compared to Americans
and legal residents.
But my most vehement objection is to this stage being used
to lend legitimacy to the George Soros-funded organization Color of Change,
which dedicated to censoring and sabotaging right-leaning groups for
championing the free market, opposing radical Islam, and exposing open borders.
Seven years ago, Van Jones’ group pressured Pepsi,
McDonald’s, Intuit and other companies to cut ties to the mainstream American
Legislative Exchange Council(ALEC), a half-century-old association of state
legislators who believe in “the Jeffersonian principles of free markets,
limited government, federalism, and individual liberty.” What was ALEC’s crime?
Crafting model legislation on voter ID to protect election integrity,
immigration enforcement measures and self-defense legislation to strengthen
Second Amendment rights.
Color of Change and the smear machine racket known as the
Southern Poverty Law Center use the same playbook to marginalize and
criminalize mainstream conservatives, anti-jihad groups, and immigration hawks
as “hate groups” and push us out of the public square.
They conspire with payment processors and Silicon Valley to
deprive the Right of our voices and our ability to make a living. So many
speaking up and fighting on the front lines for liberty and security are being
detwittered depaypaled defacebooked deplatformed – people like Laura Loomer and
Gavin McInnes and the Center for Immigration Studies and Robert Spencer and so
many others.
Many are in this room. Stand up if you are one of them. Many
have been forced to beg for money to help them fight in court to restore their
reputations. Many have been barred from this room.
Nice is not enough. Logic and facts and appeals to decency
and fairness are not enough. Bemoaning double standards is not enough.
Ultimately our future will not be secured in a Fox News anchor chair or a think
tank office or on a cruise ship or at a cushy GOP retreat. The future is on the
frontlines. At the edge of the bridge.
Then out spake brave Horatius, the captain of the Gate. To
every man upon this earth death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better
than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his
Gods.
Instead of throwing allies under that bridge, movement
conservatives who have preached so comfortably here in the Beltway about
defending America while preserving the status quo need to help provide
financial and moral support to the disrupters willing to fight fire with fire.
Maybe it’s providence that I am privileged to speak here on
the 7th anniversary of Andrew Breitbart’s death. He was a disrupter. We need
more disrupters. We need legislative action at the local and state level.
We need politicians who will DO SOMETHING to stop the sowers
of hate and their handmaidens. Use the tools at your disposal. Don’t just stand
there. DO SOMETHING.
Diversity is NOT our strength. Unity is. Our common purpose
is the common defense of our nation. Good people make America great.
The Conservative Tree House may be called a Last Refuge
for each of us for different reasons. Whatever trail through the woods brought
us here, we have shared the turmoil of storms as we have been finding our
voices as individuals in this growing community.
Perhaps you’ve had some truly shockingly cruel things
said to you purely because you believe in limited government and fiscal
conservatism. Perhaps you not only believe that we should be self-reliant and
personally responsible, but also believe that when we are allowed to depend on
ourselves, we are stronger, more successful, take greater pride in ourselves
and our work, and are more likely to make positive contributions to society.
And then we are happier people, or at least more likely to be happier.
Which lends to the following theory: Fear is at the core
of liberalism, and love/trust is at the core of conservatism. Liberalism is
about control. Conservatism is about self-empowerment.
Control is a reaction to fear. Think in terms or politics
and society – the fear behind liberalism is the fear that someone might
withhold things (opportunities, money, whatever) from me, fear that if you live
your life in a way I dislike that it might affect my life, fear that if you get
that job, there will be nothing left for me. Fear that if you make tons of
money, it’s means there’s less money out there for me. So people who believe in
liberal ideologies seek control as a means of … READ THE REST

Muslims entering the USA with fake passports! Let’s pray the future President
Trump will fire this Obama legacy among the long list of other legacy
travesties.

our organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) shows that if
you’re a jihad terrorist and want to enter the U.S. to kill infidels, it
couldn’t be easier. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS),
which is a component of the Department of Homeland Security, will welcome you
even if you come from a hotbed of jihad terrorism and have a fake passport.
AFDI operative Laura Loomer went to a USCIS office and told
an official that she had met a family of illegal immigrants from Syria and
wanted to make sure they got immigration services, but were afraid to come in
to the USCIS themselves since “they don’t have documents because they came here
illegally,” with fake passports.
The USCIS official was unconcerned about the fake passports,
explaining, “In the case of asylees and refugees, we waive sometimes the
passport, because they are unable to provide that documentation.” He was
likewise unconcerned about the possibility that the migrant was falsifying his
identity: “We are going to use the name on the passport as AKA, ‘also known
as.’”
Astonishing jihadis in the Paris attacks, the Brussels
attacks and so many bloody jihad attacks came to the West using fake passports.
An undercover video exclusively
obtained by The Daily Caller Tuesday claims to show an immigration official in
New York giving advice on how illegal Syrian immigrants can receive asylum with
fake passports.
Laura Loomer, an activist, for
Pamela Geller’s American Freedom Defense Initiative visited a United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office in Port Chester,
N.Y. on January 6.
Loomer told an
employee that she knows a family from Syria that is afraid to come into
the office because they are in the nation illegally and she wants to “make sure
that they are integrated and they have documentation services.”
“The issue with them is that they
have fake passports,” Loomer says in the video. An employee AFDI identified to
TheDC as Sergio responded, “We waive sometimes the passports or whatever
because they are unable to provide that documentation.”
He asked when the Syrian family
arrived, presumably the see if they would be eligible for Temporary Protected
Status. An amnesty protecting Syrian immigrants, of illegal or legal status,
from deportation. It is eligible to Syrians who have been in the U.S. since
Oct. 1, 2016. and the date to register ends in a few weeks. (RELATED: Obama Admin
Rushes To Resettle Refugees During Last Days In Office)
“The fake passport is one thing, we
are going to use the name that is on the passport as AKA, also known as,” the
man identified as Sergio responded. He added, “chances are considering the
situation in Syria, they are not going to be sent back.”
He said the family could get a work
permit and that Loomer should “file accurately” the paper work and to make sure
that she uses their correct names or “the names they used with these
passports, which are not their own names.”
The USCIS employee went on to say,
“Was there ever a situation where people came with fraudulent documents and
qualified for asylum? Yes, because it’s understood that they cannot always
obtain genuine documents. So it’s far from being unique.”
The Daily Caller asked the USCIS if
giving asylum to immigrants with fake documents is “far from unique” like the
USCIS employee said in the video. A spokesperson responded by saying they do
not “publicly discuss individual immigration cases” and giving a link to an information on their refugee
and asylum programs. Nearly 85,000 Syrian refugees were resettled in Fiscal
Year 2016 and the Obama administration has sped up resettlement in the president’s
last days in office. (RELATED: Obama Admin
Rushes To Resettle Refugees During Last Days In Office)
A USCIS spokesperson also said that
the agency cannot confirm the authenticity of the video as they claim it is
heavily edited. The USCIS did not confirm nor deny that Sergio is an
employee with the agency.
TheDC has previously reported on
an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo which states difficulty in
preventing fraud in the refugee program as “bad actors” use false biographies
and “produce and submit fictitious supporting documentation.” It has also been reported
that the Islamic State has a thriving fake passport industry.

The American Freedom Defense

The American Freedom Defense
Initiative is a new organization launched by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer.
Our objective is to go on the offensive when legal, academic, legislative,
cultural, sociological, and political actions are taken to dismantle our basic
freedoms and values.
AFDI acts against the treason
being committed by national, state, and local government officials, the
mainstream media, and others in their capitulation to the global jihad and
Islamic supremacism, the ever-encroaching and unconstitutional power of the
federal government, and the rapidly moving attempts to impose socialism and
Marxism upon the American people.
It acts against these evils
by:
•
Organizing grass root small groups at the local level to fight specific Islamic
supremacist initiatives in American cities – e.g., the November 2009 Rally for
Rifqa Bary in Columbus, Ohio, which called attention to the dangers apostates
from Islam live under, and to the threats to religious freedom that are
advancing in the U.S. right now
•
Sponsor anti-jihad bus and billboard campaigns to counter CAIR’s pro-Islamic
bus and billboard campaigns
•
Organizing counter protests to anti-Israel, anti-Zionism demonstrations

You would think the Mainstream Media would jump at the opportune story of a Florida university staff talking about supporting the Islamic terrorists of ISIS, wouldn’t you?
That has not been the experience of Laura Loomer a senior majoring in communications at Barry University. Ms. Loomer participated in a Project Veritas sting exposing the existence of ISIS sympathies at Barry U.
Barry U suspended Ms. Loomer in her senior year for violating the university’s code of conduct this was closely followed quickly by one of the Barry U staff caught in the sting is trying to have Loomer arrested for violating his privacy – poor staff member. He didn’t want the public to know he was NOT condemning Islamic terrorism as executed by ISIS.
Jim Kouri quotes an email sent by Barry U’s Maria Alvarez, the university’s associate vice president and dean of students which says:
"Members of the campus community must act out of mutual respect to establish an atmosphere of trust." It also asserts that "enrollment at the school presumes an obligation on the part of the student to act at all times in a manner compatible with the university's purpose, processes and functions." (Quote is found in Jim Kouri report which will be cross posted below)
This has to make one wonder: Does Barry University “purpose, processes and functions” punish their students for exercising their 1st Amendment Rights of Free Speech and a Free Press? OR are the Barry U staff so embarrassed about getting caught with their hands in Multicultural Diversity cookie jar of not blinking from the pursuit of university approved clubs that promote purpose, processes and functions of ISIS?
Following a similar shocking video at Cornell University released by James O'Keefe last week, Barry University officials in Florida also sanction a pro-ISIS club with the stated goal of sending material support to ISIS. The only suggestion by Barry officials was to change the name of the club "because technically our country is at war with ISIS."
[Blog Editor: The above quoted material is from the Youtube video location.]
A student who considers herself a fledgling journalist attending Florida's Barry University helped conservative activist and photojournalist James O’Keefe to secretly videotape members of the university staff who are allegedly supporting a Muslim terrorist organization. The video reveals that the staff members, including faculty, were discussing how they could offer material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). But shockingly it is the student who could be charged criminally, according tonews sources on Friday.
The student, 20-year-oldLaura Loomer,is a Barry University senior majoring in communications who was assisting O’Keefe’s investigative journalism organization, known as Project Veritas. Loomer aided O'Keefe by attending a meeting and surreptitiously videotaping staff members at Barry discussing how to start a pro-ISIS organization to combat what's been referred to on many of the nation's university campuses as "U.S. anti-Islamic propaganda."
During the controversial video, a Barry staff member is seen and heard suggesting that they alter the group’s name due to the U.S. being at war with ISIS. The University's administration is arguing that an assertion that anybody at the school backs Islamic terrorism is absurd. They also claim that it is the staff members who are the victims of deception and that O'Keefe edited his videotaped expose` in order to mislead the viewers.
Meanwhile, Loomer was sent an email by Maria Alvarez, the university’s associate vice president and dean of students, saying that Loomer is suspended over allegations that her reporting of a suspected criminal conspiracy actually violated Barry University's "sacred"Code of Conduct. Barry University is known for having basketball great Shaquille O'Neal as an alumnus. O'Neal was a criminal justice major and graduated with a Bachelor of Science.
“In response to complaints filed by members of the University community on Wednesday, April 3, and received by my office this morning, April 6, 2015, your alleged actions were the cause root of disruption of the University community and the creation of a hostile environment for members of the University staff,” the emailed notice of suspension stated. “Because these alleged actions violate Barry University's Code of Conduct, effective immediately you are placed on Interim Suspension from Barry University.”
Dean Alvarez then quoted Barry University's Code of Conduct which states: "Members of the campus community must act out of mutual respect to establish an atmosphere of trust." It also asserts that "enrollment at the school presumes an obligation on the part of the student to act at all times in a manner compatible with the university's purpose, processes and functions."
Despite Loomer being suspended and declared persona non grata on Barry’s campus for her helping to create the revealing and disturbing video, one of the staff members claims the video violated Florida criminal law governing the recording of conversations. According to the criminal complaint, the complainant discovered that he was recorded prior to O'Keefe releasing the video, and that he personally notified Loomer that she could not release it without his consent. When he found out the video was released and included him in it he ran to the police.
"Here's a guy on a university campus who may actually support the diabolical terrorists in ISIS suddenly running to the police because he was videotaped at a meeting in which they may have been conspiring to help the murderous Islamists," said Karl Loggenfeld, a former campus police chief. "What should be happening is the cops should be investigating the university staff," he added.
James O'Keefe is best remembered for "blowing the lid off" ACORN, an organization for which Barack Obama worked as a community organizer. O'Keefe, along with Hannah Giles, the daughter of radio talk show host and columnist Doug Giles, helped to expose widespread corruption by an organization that received large amounts of taxpayer money while being involved in fraud and abuse.
