Harmeet Dhillon is taking on Antifa and big tech

Harmeet Dhillon is a force of natural justice. For those in the know, she's become a free-speech legal superhero. The San Francisco-based civil rights lawyer won a major free speech victory over UC Berkeley; she represents James Damore in his ongoing fight against Google's monolithic, social-justice corporate culture; and now, she's making history by launching Publius Lex, a non-profit organization with a broad mandate: to fight in the courts for civil rights of Americans whose voices have been silenced by activists, big tech, and legacy media.

Dhillon agreed to sit down with The Post Millennial and she told me that it's a lengthy process to establish a non-profit in the United States, and that Publius Lex was finally approved by U.S. tax authorities as a nonprofit entity earlier this year.

Publius Lex's first case is the troubling story of Andy Ngo — a brave, young, talented journalist who writes for the Wall Street Journal, National Review, Quillette and others. Ngo was brutally beaten by Antifa thugs in the streets of Portland on June 29th for the simple fact that he was a journalist doing his job.

Antifa And The United States of Fascism Hysteria

Antifa

Comment: Do keep in mind that the author is being deliberately sarcastic and facetious in some places in order to drive his excellent points home.


So it's been an exciting few weeks for Antifa and the rest of the neoliberal Resistance. OK, they haven't yet managed to overthrow the Putin-Nazi occupation government (hereinafter "POG"), but they've definitely got "the Fash" on the run. "Fascism" hysteria is spreading like wildfire. Liberal Twitter mobs are out for blood. At this point, it's only a matter of time until the sleeping giant of normality awakens and purges America of the fascist filth that have Putin-Nazified this once great nation.

Antifa has been at the vanguard of the fight, smashing the Fash on both East and West Coasts. In Portland, where a gang of neo-fascist anti-masturbationists known as the "Proud Boys" had assembled for a self-promotional street fight they were billing as the "Battle of Portland 2," Antifa militants positively identified and preventatively beat the living snot out of a journalist named Andy Ngo. To prevent him from snitching to the fascist cops (who are allegedly working hand in hand with POG), they self-defensively robbed him, sprayed him with silly string, and pelted him with vegan milkshakes.

Now, before you get all up in arms about Antifa assaulting and robbing journalists, you need to know a couple of things. First, according to Antifa spokespersons, and those bloodthirsty liberal Twitter mobs, Andy Ngo is a "fascist adjacent," and possibly even a card carrying fascist. Antifa representative Alexander Reid Ross claims that Ngo is personally responsible for putting people's names on a Nazi "kill-list" (or at least that Ngo's writing has been published by Quillette, which published an article by someone else that some fascists read and copied people's names from), so, basically, he deserves to die.

A commander of a Chicago police detective division was reassigned while the department investigates allegations that he refused to stop when an Indiana state trooper tried to pull him over for speeding last month.

Area Central Cmdr. Edward Wodnicki was headed west on Interstate 94 in an unmarked department car, his blue lights flashing, when the trooper tried to stop him near Chesterton, about 45 miles from Chicago, according to the Indiana State Police.

"While patrolling I-94, I observed a vehicle having emergency blue lights on at a high rate of speed with Illinois plates," a trooper wrote in a report. "The vehicle failed to stop and a pursuit ensued."

Wodnicki's Ford Fusion was clocked at more than 100 mph at one point while the commander was on a cellphone, dispatch records show.

"Not stopping," a trooper reported. "On his cell phone. He is not stopping. Passing. Waved at me when I pulled up next to him."

State police deployed spike strips, but the commander stopped before driving over them, records show.

"Request supervisor come to the scene," a trooper reported. "This is a Chicago PD unit. ... Driver advised he was enroute to his office in Chicago."

A bizarre road crash was caught on CCTV cameras in Siberia, where an unidentified driver managed to flip his car twice in the air before crashing it. Moreover, the driver managed to walk away from the freak accident.

A couple of gravity-defying videos, worthy of a Hollywood - or, rather Bollywood movie - emerged online and promptly went viral on Friday. The accident unfolded near a shopping mall in the city of Omsk a day before, when an unidentified driver hit an "obstacle," local police said.

Flushing drugs could create 'meth gators', warn Tennessee police

If you thought alligators were a force to be reckoned with, then you've never met one hopped up on methamphetamine. That's precisely why one police department has asked that residents keep their illicit drugs out of the sewers.

The police in Loretto, Tennessee issued the request on Saturday, after officers caught a suspect in the act of disposing contraband down the toilet during a drug bust.

"Folks... please don't flush your drugs m'kay," the department wrote in a Facebook post. "When you send something down the sewer pipe it ends up in our retention ponds for processing before it is sent down stream."

If it made it far enough we could create meth-gators in Shoal Creek and the Tennessee River down in North Alabama. They've had enough methed up animals the past few weeks without our help.

Protests and walkout mar Amazon's 'Prime Day' mega-sale

As millions of people take advantage of sales on Amazon's Prime Day, some employees and activists will use the two-day event to complain about how the company treats workers.

Employees at an Amazon fulfillment center in Shakopee, Minn., plan to walk off the job Monday during the last 3 hours of the day shift and the first 3 hours of the night shift. They say although Amazon has raised hourly wages to $16 to $20 -- more than double the federal minimum -- the company sets unrealistic expectations and quotas.

"They try to get someone to work as hard as you can under the threat of being fired," two-year employee Tyler Hamilton told CBS News. "As much as they can, they figure out ways to collect data and measure work."

Employees also complain of unsafe work conditions, lack of communication from supervisors and an over-reliance on temporary workers.

"We're forced to work like machines," Hibaq Mohamed told Forbes. "I see it as abuse."

Israeli machine of dispossession crushes hopes of inspirational Palestinian family

© Heidi Levine/The NationalJawad Siyam points to large cracks in the walls of Silwan, site of Israel's tunnel digging,
The struggle of Jawad Siyam perfectly illustrates the relentless oppression faced by all Palestinians.

Israeli police forced out the Siyam family from their home in the heart of occupied East Jerusalem last week, the final chapter in their 25-year legal battle against a powerful settler organisation.

The family's defeat represented much more than just another eviction. It was intended to land a crushing blow against the hopes of some 20,000 Palestinians living in the shadow of the Old City walls and Al Aqsa mosque.

Dozens of families in the Silwan neighbourhood have endured the same fate as the Siyams, and the Israeli courts have approved the imminent eviction of many hundreds more Palestinians from the area. But, unlike those families, the Siyams' predicament briefly caught public attention. That was because one of them, Jawad Siyam, has become a figurehead of Silwan's resistance efforts.

Mr Siyam, a social worker, has led the fight against Elad, a wealthy settler group that since the early 1990s has been slowly erasing Silwan's Palestinian identity in order to remake it as the City of David archeological park.

Riot police and anti-government protesters faced off during Bastille Day celebrations in Paris. Dozens of people were arrested, with calls for president Emmanuel Macron to resign again being chanted out loud.

An increasing number of demonstrators flocked to the Champs Elysees avenue around midday on Sunday, setting objects alight and trying to block the iconic street with metal barricades, dustbins and other debris.

Protesters also hurled rocks and bottles at the riot-police present, who responded with tear gas. Several people were injured, reports say, without specifying numbers.

Comment: Macron's party did not go off as triumphantly as planned. Sputnik reports:
French President Emmanuel Macron was met with a less than courteous reception at the Bastille Day parade in Paris on Sunday.

As Macron arrived, driving down the Champs-Elysées in Paris to officially open the military parade which occurs annually to mark France's national day, protesters loudly booed and heckled the president from the sidewalk.

Calls of "Macron resign!" could be heard as the presidential car drove past.


By and large the parade proceeded untarnished, as Macron used the day as a pulpit to demonstrate European military cooperation, surrounded by troops from many EU countries which make up the Paris-based European Intervention Initiative.

Macron hosted a lunch following the parade with other EU leaders such as Germany's Angela Merkel, Belgium's Charles Michel, the Netherlands' Mark Rutte, and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. With the UK being represented by David Lidington, deputy to Prime Minister Theresa May.

Parallel to the lunch however, saw an enflaming of protests and demonstrations which saw violent clashes with French police. The police launched tear gas towards crowds as they chanted anti-government and anti-Macron slogans.

The protesters were not dressed in yellow vests as anyone adorned with the garment was refused entry.

152 people were arrested prior to the event however, according to AFP.

Twitter saw varied reactions from users.

Some expressed "solidarity" with the protestors.


Critics of Macron laughed and called the president "pompous and arrogant".


Some even compared Macron to King Louise XVI.


Others referenced recent criticisms of President Trump's decision to add tanks to his own military parade, accusing the critics of having double standards.
