German Activist Seeks Asylum in the United States After Antifa Death Threats

For years, some of us have been writing about the collapse of free speech protections in Europe as the left criminalizes a wide range of expressions and viewpoints. Now, a leading young German advocate, Naomi Seibt, known as the “Anti-Greta,” is seeking political asylum in the United States after years of Antifa threats. At one time, the idea of someone seeking asylum from a Western democracy would have been considered material for the Onion. Today, it is credible given the rising intolerance for opposing views in countries like Germany.

While we do not know a great deal about the underlying threats, Seibt, 25, recently filed the petition for political asylum, arguing that she is now fearful for her life after a litany of threats from the left. In addition, she recounted how she was informed that German police engaged in years of surveillance of her movements and communications — a complaint made by a wide array of conservatives and others in the country.

I discussed the war on free speech in Germany in my book, “The Indispensable Right.” We recently discussed how the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) is conducting a nationwide search for citizens accused of committing speech crimes.  The annual crackdown is part of Germany’s robust censorship and speech criminalization policies. We also discussed how Germany is extending its criminalization of speech to the Internet.

Last year, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser was upset that civil libertarians were calling her anti-free speech, so she tried to shut down a publication for a satirical meme.

For this reason, it was fitting that the recent World Forum was held in Berlin. I spoke in Berlin at the World Forum, where European leaders gathered in one of the most strikingly anti-free speech conferences I have attended. This year’s forum embraced the slogan “A New World Order with European Values.”That “new world order” is based on an aggressive anti-free speech platform that has been enforced for years by the European Union. It is vividly evident in the latest crackdown in Germany.

According to the BKA, there were 10,732 crimes related to online hate speech committed last year—a record number and four times the crimes from 2021. It is an example of the insatiable appetite created by censorship as people seek to silence their critics or those with opposing views.

North Rhine-Westphalia’s Interior Minister, Christian Democrat Herbert Reul seemed to relish the power: “Digital arsonists must not be able to hide behind their phones or computers. Anyone who thinks anything is allowed on social media is seriously mistaken.”

He added that “people have forgotten the difference between hate and opinion.” For those who cannot tell the difference, the solution is just to stay silent or risk a knock on the door. It is the very chilling effect reflected in the recent polling showing that most Germans are now uncomfortable sharing their views in public.

According to a poll of German citizens. Only 18% of Germans feel free to express their opinions in public. 59% of Germans did not even feel free to express themselves in private among friends. And just 17% felt free to express themselves online.

What Seibt is reporting is consistent with what free speech groups told me in Berlin. She stated, “In 2024, I found out that I had been spied on by German intelligence for years. Simultaneously, I keep receiving death threats from Antifa.” She also reported that the German police seemed hostile to her claims of threats and refused to take action.

Her high visibility as the counterfoil to climate crusader Greta Thunberg seemed to fuel the threats.

What is most interesting about this petition is the context of pronounced anti-free-speech policies and laws in Germany. As both Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have addressed in major speeches, Europe is now a threat to free speech, including the rights of American citizens and corporations. Germany and the EU now deny this “indispensable right” to its citizens while seeking to pressure companies like X and Facebook to restore censorship programs.

For the free speech community, we would always prefer that advocates stay and fight in their home countries. However, that is an easy “ask” when you are not being targeted by both the government and groups like Antifa. Unfortunately, many of us in the United States have received similar death threats, and we have seen a rise in political violence, particularly from Antifa. We discussed such an attack just yesterday.

While Democratic leaders like Rep. Dan Goldman (D., N.Y.) have denied the existence of Antifa, members continue to self-identify as well as to be indicted for political violence. In Europe, these “non-existent” groups actually have elected members in the EU and national legislatures.

As the EU and Europe continues to crack down on free speech, these asylum requests could well increase. We are used to people filing asylum petitions to flee religious intolerance. We are now seeking some of the first European fleeing speech discrimination. It is a sad statement about the state of free speech among some of our closest allies. However, as amplified by the remarks by Vance and Rubio, this is a very real threat to those who defy the majority in countries like Germany.

  1. After WW2 the Germans, painfully aware of the Third Reich’s pervasive anti-Jewish propaganda laid on with a trowel by Goebbels in support of the perpetration of the Holocaust, made anti-Jewish comments in any sort of public forum illegal. Then in the mid-teens of this century, the then-government of Germany opened its borders to vast numbers of migrants from the Third World. That created an ever-intensifying concern among many Germans to the effect that their country’s basic social and cultural fabric was being seriously weakened. Subsequent German governments have once again re-imposed border security but the German polity is still faced at this point with sizable – one might even say serious – numbers of migrants, especially of migrants whose religious and cultural origins are far more important to their practitioners than any concern for adapting themselves to the German cultural and social fundaments. (This is a problem also seen even in the United States at this time.) Thus the German government – theoretically a government committed to the Western values of free-speech – is yet faced with the problem of maintaining even a modicum of public peace and order. And the only response (it surely can’t be called a ‘solution’) the government can see to make is to actually expand proscriptions on any public expressions of dissatisfaction with the state of affairs. Also, perhaps, there may be a more typically German tendency to take the ‘good’ all the way to the extreme of the ‘perfect’ – never a good idea in this fundamentally and complexly imperfect and non-perfectible world.

  2. X says: Remember the Young Republicans text scandal.

    George; remember your 12 year old Presidential and Congressional Democrat police state fascism scandal? It’s only going to get worse, no matter how hard you deflect and project.

    Jack Smith and AG Merrick Garland Issued Subpoenas Targeting More Than 400 Republicans, Organizations and Lawyers In their Arctic Frost Case
    Then-Special Counsel Jack Smith went through AG Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray in their sweeping Arctic Frost-linked case against President Donald Trump related to the 2020 election, seeking records on more than 400 Republican personalities and groups, according to declassified records found hidden at the Department Of Justice and released to the public today by the U.S. Senate Committee On The Judiciary.

    Records of the subpoenas and other forms of legal demands used by Jack Smith were provided through legally protected whistleblower disclosures. Smith, Wray, and Garland targeted at least 430 named Republican individuals and entities. Some of the records Smith obtained from banks, individuals and businesses through the power of his appointment included:

    – Communications with media companies such as CBS, Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, Sinclair and others.
    – Communications with “any member, employee or agent of the Legislative Branch of the U.S. Government.”
    – Communications with all Executive Branch advisors.
    – Statistical data and analysis relating to donors and fundraising efforts.
    – Broad financial data relating to conservative individuals and entities.

    Do you want all the various links, Mad King George X?

    Or would you just prefer claiming some vulgar stupidtexts by some Young Republicans emulating texts from Furry Bolshevik Biden Trannies are a far worse scandal than this?

    Or alternately… would you like to try hiding behind ROLF!!?

    1. Germany is doomed to become a Islamic Caliphate by about 2050:
      Projections suggest that if current migration patterns continue, the German population may become a minority by 2050, particularly due to the increasing number of immigrants and their higher birth rates. In a high migration scenario, the Muslim population alone could grow significantly, potentially leading to demographic shifts where ethnic Germans represent a smaller percentage of the total population.

  3. There are far more pernicious things taking place in America re: free speech and stoking violence, like in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This no less by a black politician, Virginia House Speaker Don Scott, Jr., D-Portsmouth

    Black Democrats have proven to be their white Dems masters slaves par excellence in spite of Whites like Abigail Spanberger, Democrat, who wears her whiteness better than a KKK member.

    In the words of Lt Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, the VA Democrats action today were disgraceful.

    VA Dems reject resolution condemning political violence while House speaker cuts off Jay Jones references

    Del. Delores Oates, R-Front Royal, was yielded the floor to address a House session on Wednesday; introducing a women’s group called “Moms Say No To Violence Against Children.”

    But, Oates’ introduction was short-lived, as she began to speak about how “our children are Virginia’s future, the heart of our families and a gift from God.”

    “When anyone, especially a public figure, wishes harm on a child – that they die in their mother’s arms so they can win a political point, these moms refuse to stay silent.”

    After Oates uttered “die in their mother’s arms,” House Speaker Don Scott, D-Portsmouth, slammed his gavel and announced that Oates was “out of order.”

    Scott appeared to recognize Oates’ reference to text messages by Jay Jones, the Democrats’ candidate for attorney general, about a former Republican leader. Scott is a staunch defender of Jones who told reporters after the gubernatorial debate that Republicans should pay more attention to President Donald Trump’s past comments about ex-Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney.

    Scott then uttered, “sergeant-at-arms,” as if to threaten Oates with formal punishment for continuing to speak.

    Truly vile.

    1. Estovir, The owner of Fox News testiified before Congress that is was an entertainment site, not a news channel.

      1. David B. Benson… you forgot your favorite news channel got a pass from an Obama judge after being sued by another network by saying the people watching their network knew that their hosts lied, so it couldn’t be defamation.

        Show us how good your memory is by listing how many times CNN has had to fork over millions of dollars for lying to their gullible viewers? Paying Trump would be hard one for you to try to forget because that one’s so recent.

        1. Fox paid out $787 million to Dominion and admitted that they lied.
          The $2.7 billion suit by Smartmatic is still pending, but will almost certainly be settled for at least as much.

          1. And recent revelations in the same suits continued against other defendants have been damning.

            While there is no evidence that Dominion of Smartmatic did anything to rig the US 2020 presidential election.
            Every single allegation of the capabilities of their systems to rig elections as well as the FACT that they have done so in foreign elections has proven correct.

    2. Estovir, the owner of Fox News testified before a congressional committee that Fox News was an entertainment site, not a news organization.

      1. Snopes says you’re Lyin’ Like A Biden, David. Why didn’t your include the rest of what he said – hate to ruin a good thing by providing context?

        You also forgot your favorite news channel got a pass from an Obama judge after being sued by another network by saying the people watching their network knew that their hosts lied, so it couldn’t be defamation.

        Show us how good your memory is by listing how many times CNN has had to fork over millions of dollars for lying to their gullible viewers? Paying Trump would be hard one for you to try to forget because that one’s so recent.

      2. Mr. Benson, you will recall that world-famous biochemist Linus Pauling at Cal Tech, was committed to being the first scientist to characterize the molecular structure of DNA but it was James Watson and Francis Crick who beat him. It was Linus Pauling’s son, Peter Pauling, who shared with Watson & Crick, his father’s embarrassing manuscript where he detailed his catastrophic DNA molecular structure. Linus Pauling did not know his basic chemistry: he speculated the DNA phosphate groups would be at the center of the DNA helix, not the bases with hydrogen bonds, which, you may not know since he did not know, would have caused the molecular structure to explode. This means your PhD work under Pauling and Cal Tech could have just been for entertainment given the folly of your tutors and output you produce for this forum

        Linus Pauling was wrong about the DNA structure, James Watson

        https://dnalc.cshl.edu/view/15453-Linus-Pauling-was-wrong-about-the-DNA-structure-James-Watson.html

        Pauling was born in Portland, Oregon and was accused by his peers and the American media of being a Communist. Any connections to you?

        Do review Chargaff’s rules before replying to me because I’d hate to see you repeat Pauling’s entertaining folly

  4. Oh, Antifa is “a” group. Singular? United?

    Why would he come to the USA to escape Antifa when Trump has said Antifa is here? He would be in more danger in the land of the 2nd amendment than he was in Germany.

    What the real problem in Germany for him is that Germany has anti-Nazi laws and he isn’t safe from those.

    Canada would be the safer choice, but Canada probably won’t grant asylum to him.

    1. Congrats, anonymous troll, on the stupidest comment of the day. First, Naomi isn’t a “him.” She’s a “her” and a quite hot one as I pointed out below, much to your chagrin since you are a prude and an idiot.

      Second, yes there’s antifa here, but it’s not official government policy, and Trump is cracking down on that terrorist organization.

      Third, if you had bothered to read Professor Turley’s article before commenting, which you obviously did not, Naomi’s complaint is with the government’s persecution of people with conservative views. So your comment would have perhaps made sense if the extreme left-wing cabal known as “Joe Biden” were still in charge. But it makes no sense at all under Trump’s administration. Pffffft.

      1. Now you defend women?

        What kind of old man pervert looks to see how “hot” someone is in a political discussion?

        What conservative views, exactly? You read the article; which ones did you see?

        You don’t read for content, you read to be outraged about how unfair life has been to you. If you are in Kansas, you had the choice to go somewhere better.

        1. “Now you defend women?”
          Outside the looney left we have been defending actual women for a long time.
          People like Martina Navratilova or JK Rowling.

          The left has always had a women problem.

          “What kind of old man pervert looks to see how “hot” someone is in a political discussion?”
          A normal male.

          “What conservative views, exactly? ”
          Does not matter – Naomi is requesting asylum because govenrment is threatening her for political views.
          That is the legitimate basis for an asylum request.
          She will have to prove that in order to get asylum.

          Asylum is not a right – so the US can and MAY refuse asylum specifically because of Naomi’s views.
          Just as we can refuse Visa’s to those who are supporters of Hamas.

          If Naomi can establish that the German govenrment is a threat to her liberty for her political views,
          and that those political views are not among those the US does not seek to import, then she will get asylum.

          “You read the article; which ones did you see?”
          The core to the article is that Germany – like most of the EU uses government power to target people for their political views. Naomi is just an example. Turley did not explore Naomi’s views beyond her own claims.
          You are free to research Naomi further if you want more.

          “You don’t read for content”
          No OMFK and the rest of us do not “Read for left wing naratives”.
          Not the same thing.

          If you think Turley was being “unfair” to Germany – make your case.

          “you read to be outraged”
          Not really – more sad that Europe and to a lessor extent the US have headed in the wrong direction as a result of far too much influence by idiots like you.

          “about how unfair life has been to you.”
          Life is not far. I would not wish the bad things that have happened to me on anyone.
          At the same time – my life has been pretty good overall.
          Neither I nor OMFK are railing at the unfairness of life – that is a trait of those on the left.
          But we ARE seeking to make things better.
          A part of that is getting Government out of Speech.
          We have little influence on Germany.
          But Turley and many of the rest of us here ARE presenting Germany as a cautionary tale.

          I would note that the afD isdoing quite well in Germany as is National Rally in France.
          Are these “Nazi” groups ? I do not know – the political labels in the US do not translate well to Europe.
          Conservative and liberal do not mean exactly the same things.

          But there is no doubt that Europe is in the process of rejecting its left.
          Time will tell us whether Europe’s political right is more libertarian or more Nazi

          But as with the US the ascendance of the political right is the result of the failures of the political left while in power.

          “If you are in Kansas, you had the choice to go somewhere better.”
          Not in Kansas. But I suspect Kansas is similar to where I am.

          Local politics are dominated by the GOP. But this is NOT the Tea Party or MAGA republicans – though they profess to be. The local GOP shares more in common with the national political left. They use government power to reward friends, and punish political enemies and to increase govenrment power.

          I will be happy to condemn the bad conduct of the right – and at my local level there is plenty.
          But state wide and nationally the problem is the left.

          And this is a national blog.

          Turley has on occasion dealt with stories of REAL right wing political misconduct.
          There is plenty of it – though that does not prevent it from being dwarfed by that of the left.

          One of the things that is most odd is that the left is currently repeating the mistakes of the extreme right in the past.

      2. “On 28 February 2020, an article in The Guardian stated that Seibt was inspired by the Canadian alt-right, white nationalist, and conspiracy theorist Stefan Molyneux after being introduced to his blogs. She has been accused of both antisemitism and white nationalism due to her support for some on the alt-right. Seibt refused to comment; her mother denied that her daughter supports far-right politics. In April 2020, Seibt said her formal work with The Heartland Institute had come to an end. She said that it was her decision not to renew a contract, and it was made because the Landesanstalt für Medien NRW [de] threatened to delete her YouTube channel on the grounds that she wants to influence German politics for an American think-tank.”

        Of Heartland Institute:

        The Heartland Institute is an American conservative and libertarian 501(c)(3) nonprofit public policy think tank known for its rejection of both the scientific consensus on climate change and the negative health impacts of smoking.

        Founded in 1984, it worked with tobacco company Philip Morris throughout the 1990s to attempt to discredit the health risks of secondhand smoke and lobby against smoking bans. Since the 2000s, the Heartland Institute has been a leading promoter of climate change denial.

        There are not good people on both sides.

        1. “She has been accused of both antisemitism and white nationalism due to her support for some on the alt-right. “

          So far there is no proof she is or is not an antisemite. That is a serious accusation that should be withheld barring proof.

        2. “There are not good people on both sides.”

          True – but you failed to make that case.

          Your post above is mostly claims and attempts at guilt by association.

          You do not seem to grasp that peoples eyes glaze over when you use phrases like “alt-right” or “white nationalist” or “conspiracy theorist” – or you pull political garbage from Wikipedia.

          Your abuse of various terms has made them effectively meaningless.

          How well is it working for you calling Trump Hitler or Republicans Nazi’s ?

          Does anyone outside the fruitloop left beleive you ?

          So why would you expect anyone to buy anything from your post above ?

          Do you have actual evidence of Specific views of ANY of the people and groups you defamed above starting with Seibt ?

          “On 28 February 2020, an article in The Guardian”
          You consider that a source ?

          “stated that Seibt was inspired by the Canadian alt-right, white nationalist, and conspiracy theorist Stefan Molyneux after being introduced to his blogs.”
          What does that even mean ?
          Here is Molyneux speaking about himself.
          https://freedomain.com/about-stefan-molyneux/
          About the only thing the Guardian appears to have gotten right is that Molyneux is canadian.
          I am not a follower of Molyneux – or really anyone.
          Outside the left no two people on earth completely agree on everything.
          But I did listen to a few of Molyneix’s vlogs years ago and did not find anything beyond a right leaning libertarian.
          Do you have evidence that he is a “white nationalist” ?
          Outside of what the left calls the “alt-right” – which is pretty much anyone that disagrees with them, there is a real “alt-right” – about 1/2 of those at the Charlotesville Rally in 2017 were actual alt-right.
          I am not “alt-right” nor is almost anyone posting here. But at the same time even the actual alt-right is not the vile bad people that you rant about – they are just people with political views that I do not share.
          They are less looney that most of the left.
          Do you or the Guardian have ANY evidence that Molyneaux is “alt-right” ? A “White Nationalist” ?
          A “conspiracy theorist” ? Given the collusion delusion, the hunter biden laptop, the Joe Biden is competent, most everything about covid and on and on – no one on the left should be talking about “conspiracy theorists”.

          The left 40% of the country bought absolutely absurd conspirarcy theories – AND STILL DOES.
          Molyneux is a successful entrepeneur and a philosopher – he has an actual degree in philosophy.

          “She has been accused of both antisemitism and white nationalism due to her support for some on the alt-right.”
          Again what in there means anything ?
          Are accsations proof ?
          Has Seibt or Molyneux or any of the various people you malign ACTUALLY said or done anything anti-semetic ?
          The left held mass anti-semetic riots at nearly every college in the country last year.
          Has Seibt or Molyneux chased Jews off campus ? or Locked them in closets ? Or beaten them up ?

          Your use of “anti-semetism” seems to be very strangely defined.

          And what is “White Nationalism” ? As best as I can tell – those of you on the left seem to think anyone who opposed mass lawless immigration is a white nationalist.

          Regardless – you constantly throw about phrases as if they are well understood – yet you use them in ways that are way beyond any accepted meaning.

          Again – if everyone you accuse of being a Nazi is a Nazi then everyone is a Nazi.

          “Seibt refused to comment;”
          Of course she did – why would anyone speak to the guardian for a hit peice ?

          “In April 2020, Seibt said her formal work with The Heartland Institute had come to an end. She said that it was her decision not to renew a contract, and it was made because the Landesanstalt für Medien NRW [de] threatened to delete her YouTube channel on the grounds that she wants to influence German politics for an American think-tank.”
          So evidence of German censorship somehow proves something

          “Of Heartland Institute” – you cite Wikipedia – which is a left wing cesspool on ANYTHING even vaguely political.
          And frankly pretty bad on anything controversial even if it is NOT political.

          Worse its own rules favor opinion over primary sources.

          “The Heartland Institute is an American conservative and libertarian 501(c)(3) nonprofit public policy think tank known for its rejection of both the scientific consensus on climate change””
          First it is CAGW – Not “Climate Change” – Cliimate Change is just Left Wing euphamism to coverup that the “Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming” claim is just left wing alarmist NONSENSE.

          Has ANY Climate prediction by the warmists proven True ? Has ANY left wing malthusian claim since …. Malthus 3 centuries ago EVER proven True ?

          All you and Wikipedia have done is proven your OWN inability to think critically and also demonstrated the Failure of the idiocy that Science is about “consensus” – or that there is any such actual consensus.
          The over whelming majority of scientists assert that some globnal warming is man made – but not much and that overall Global Warming is not a problem. The Climate changes constantly and naturally.

          Regardless, if Heartland has been fighting against Bad Warmist Science since 1984 then KUDOS for them.

          With respect to your further guilt by association regarding smoking.

          All Government imposed bans are a bad idea – whether smoking bans or the war on Drugs or Bans on speech you do not like.
          Heartland is again a libertarian leaning group.

          In my county I protested FOR the right of actual Nazi’s to march through the streets, and then participlated in the peaceful counter protest of their march.

          Does that make me a Nazi ? or Antifa ?

          Leading Defense Attorney Gerry Spence wrote that one of the regrets of his life was refusing to defend McVeigh.
          Everyone – even the worst of the worst is entitled to a defense.

          There are bad people on all sides.

          But all you have demonstrated is abysmal criteria for your judgement of others.

    2. Why would he come to the USA to escape Antifa when Trump has said Antifa is here?Democrat Antifa propagandists can’t do logic – no better than they fail economics and male/female mammalian biology.

    3. Seems like the oldman was triggered by him vs. her.

      Oldman had nothing else worth mentioning because gender has nothing to do with them being the focus of an anti-Nazi group in Germany.

    4. Because despite the threat of violence by the left and antifa and the threats to free speech and freedom by the left.
      The US is STILL the beacon of freedom and free speech for the world.

      You say maybe the problem in Germany is Anti-Nazi laws – and you are RIGHT.

      You do not have real freedom when an ideology can be banned.

      Most everyone knows of the Famous Skokie case in the US where SCOTUS confirmed that free speech includes the right of actual Nazi’s to march through the streets of a town full of Jewish Holocaust survivors.

      In the US – atleast when the left is out of power, government punishes you for you BAD ACTS not your thoughts, words, ideology. In the rest of the west that is less true.

      In the US on blogs like this idiots like you are free to post the most heinous nonsense without any fear of governent retribution.

      We have listened for years to the claims by those of you on the left that if Trump was elected those on the left would be rounded up into camps.

      It has been 9 months – and every single person investigated by the FBI and prosecuted by DOJ is being investigated and prosecuted for CLEAR bad ACTS.

      You can rant about Trump to your hearts content – if you have not committed REAL crimes. You have nothing to fear.

      Many of us here rail at the left for their violent speech – and you rail back with weak examples of purported violent speech by the right.

      But government – atleast not that of conservatives is not censoring your speech. Government is not investigating you for your speech. Government is not prosecuting you for your speech.

      Outside the US speech that is at odds with the wishes of govenrment often results in government harrassment, prosecution, conviction and loss of freedom.

      While there is little doubt that the speech of the left is more violent than that of the right. Left or right in the US that speech is protected.

      There is also little doubt that those on the left are ACTUALLY more violent than the right.
      ACTS of violence MUST be prosecuted – regardless of politics.

      Antifa in the US is not being targeted for their speech. They are being targeted for actual violence.
      All involved in that violence will hopefully be prosecuted and convicted.
      That includes those planning, and funding that violence.

  5. X says The Biden administration did not threaten anyone.

    As in… “Nice little social media platform you got here… shame if my bureaucrats showed up to burn it down through lawfare. Shame if we declared you a monopoly and forced you to break it up if you don’t let my FBI agents work inside your media platform and tell you who and what to censor!”

    Meanwhile, this also what Mad King George X will claim is also nobody being threatened or lawfare being used as the punishment. Or if you prefer: depriving people of their rights through color of law:

    SCANDAL: Jack Smith and AG Merrick Garland Issued Subpoenas Targeting More Than 400 Republicans, Organizations and Lawyers In their Arctic Frost Case
    Then-Special Counsel Jack Smith went through AG Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray in their sweeping Arctic Frost-linked case against President Donald Trump related to the 2020 election, seeking records on more than 400 Republican personalities and groups, according to declassified records found hidden at the Department Of Justice and released to the public today by the U.S. Senate Committee On The Judiciary.

    Records of the subpoenas and other forms of legal demands used by Jack Smith were provided through legally protected whistleblower disclosures. Smith, Wray, and Garland targeted at least 430 named Republican individuals and entities. Some of the records Smith obtained from banks, individuals and businesses through the power of his appointment included:

    – Communications with media companies such as CBS, Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, Sinclair and others.
    – Communications with “any member, employee or agent of the Legislative Branch of the U.S. Government.”
    – Communications with all Executive Branch advisors.
    – Statistical data and analysis relating to donors and fundraising efforts.
    – Broad financial data relating to conservative individuals and entities.

    Do you want all the various links, Mad King George X?

    Or would you just prefer claiming some vulgar stupid childish texts by some Young Republicans emulating texts from Furry Bolshevik Biden Trannies are a far worse scandal than this?

      1. ROLF!!

        That’s a pretty feeble defense of the scandal that is the last four years of Democrat/Biden police state fascism, George X.

        But maybe you can plead you’re still struggling to achieve primary school levels of reading comprehension?

      1. So revealing to have you here to reveal how attractive and deep the Furry Tranny Biden Bolshevik Boyz are with their persuasive rhetoric!

        Well… it might sufficiently impress other Democrat Tranny Furries and fascist Antifa to convince them to join you on a Grindr date!

        1. This guy has a a very weird fixation about trannies.
          Makes me wonder if he is projecting his own suppressed orientation.

          1. It is the left that has the fixation on Tranny’s.

            Why in gods name would we restructure society and violate the rights of atleast half the country to unconstitutionally favor 0.3% of people ?

            Neither I nor most of the right 2/3 of the country gives a $hit about Transexuals – or what Any consenting adults do in private.

            We have major problems with the left using FORCE to manufacture rights out of thin air for fringe groups that no one else has.

            Worse still – you are doing your darnedest to prove those who claimed that homosexual equal rights would lead to bestiality and pedophilia in the streets.

            Please make an argument for MTF Trans in womens sports and lockerrooms that does not also apply to pedophilia or bestiality ?

            Keep your fetishs consensual and private.

      2. Looks hundreds of feet deeper and miles wider than your freakazoid furries, tranny’s and drag queens

      3. I expected something like this from one of our sour, prudish resident anonymous trolls 😂

        You must be loads of fun at parties 😂

        You pretty much sum up why nobody likes the Left. A liberal is someone who worries that someone somewhere in the world might be having fun.

        1. if Ms. Naomi were a he, and as hawt as her, George would be humping his computer because gays on Grindr block him. Heck even the trans WTM block him!

          🤣🤣

        2. oldmanfromkansas
          That anonymous troll who responded to you is almost certainly an antisemite.
          They are everywhere you look these days, and they take any opportunity to make their views known.

      4. This oldman comment pretty much sums up the vast depth and breadth of MAGA critical thinking.

        Translation for normal Americans to add context to that summation: We Democrat Tranny Furries get wet in our panties while Toobin’ – staring at the classic beauty of our Chick With A Dick on a Budweiser beer can.

    1. She’s a German, and I also won’t buy a; Porsche, Volkswagen, BMW, or Benz either – enough said.
      The US doesn’t need The Shoah happening here.

      1. “The US doesn’t need The Shoah happening here.”

        Thanks for the expression of your fears. No need to fear that unless there’s another Obama or Biden with their New Hitler Youth University Brigades and Antifa on call.

        Here’s my opinion: We could compassionately repatriate GeorgeX and the rest of the New Hitler Youth Movement to Gaza. The Arab Hamas hajjis there have ensured that no Jew is living there since they were democratically elected to power almost 25 years ago.

        And if you’re a Democrat, Hamas has Jewish genocide written into their constitution, and offers Democrats surprise safaris to Israel to hunt the Jews.

        One way or another, you can find a place to choose to live that should leave you feeling good about your choice.

  6. Off Topic

    How did 27,000 tourists miss the Jamaica cat5 hurricane forecast model warning days before it hit?

      1. The communists (liberals, progressives, socialists, democrats, RINOs, AINOs) cut staff from NOAA remember?

          1. To a large extent – though that is not a necessity.
            Regardless, the information on this Huricane was readily available. despite NOAA cuts.

            Further – as a rule – Nature does not give a $hit about government funding.

            Huricanes come and they go. Sometimes there are few, sometimes there are many.
            Some are big some are small. Once is a white a big one hits somewhere that is just not well prepared.

            That is unavoidable no matter how large you make NOAA staff.

            Further there is really no good reason that the US or any other government shoudl be funding weather satelites. Several decades ago a Weather Satelite over the caribean was failing.
            NASA refused to alter shuttle payloads to get a replacement up before it failed completely.

            So the reinsurance industry put up about 10B to get a replacement up on an expedited basis.
            They worked to design their own weather satelite, and to launch it via Ariane.
            This hs BEFORE SpaceX.

            NASA and NOAA were terified of losing control of huricane forecasting and NASA found room on the shuttle,
            and the reinsurance Weather Satelite project died.

            But there is absolutely nothing requiring govenrment weather satelites, or forecasts.

            I beleive Musk has about 10,000 Starlink satellites up now.

      2. Yet that Skelton Crew was still able to accurately track the huricane well in advance and issue warnings that were disregarded.

        All you have done is prove that NOAA was way over staffed, and that Trump correctly cut it.

        At some point this is all going to come to a head.

        Our taxes are already at or near the revenue optimizing maximum – put simply THERE IS NO MORE MONEY.

        We have a massive spending problem.

        We could have made small cuts two decades ago, we can make large cuts now.
        Soon enough we will HAVE to make very deep cuts, because THERE IS NO MORE MONEY.

        Social Security will fall about 1/3 short on funding relatively soon. What are you going to do then ?
        Medicare is already running in the red.

        You either have to cut SS benefits, cut Medicare or you are going to have to cut the rest of govenrment spending.

    1. Ummmm… their main focus was smoking dope rather than using the cable television and internet in their hotel rooms?

      Unless you want to argue that there was no cable news nor internet they could access to learn about those warnings days earlier?

      Or maybe…. BBBBUUUTTTTT… IT’S FROM TRUMP WORLD!!!!!

    1. And bless the judicial branch and Supreme Court for taking the absolute 1st Amendment freedom of speech out of the Constitution.

      What would Americans do without an anti-American, anti-Constitution, corrupt, communist judicial branch and Supreme Court?

  7. “Whiskey” Pete Hegseth has just dismissed the leader of the Office of Naval Research, Rear Admiral Kurt Rothenhaus

    The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is a U.S. Department of the Navy organization responsible for funding and managing science and technology programs for the Navy and Marine Corps. Its mission is to ensure the nation’s naval and marine forces maintain a technological advantage by investing in both basic and applied research. It works with universities, non-profits, industry partners, and its own laboratories, like the Naval Research Laboratory, to discover, develop, and deliver new capabilities.

    ONR has traditionally been headed by a flag officer with graduate training in science and/or engineering.
    Rear Admiral Kurt Rothenhaus has a PhD in computer science.

    His replacement is a 33 year DOGE goon named Rachel Riley. She has a PhD in Social Policy, which sounds very woke to me, and absolutely no military or government experience, but her Linked-in does mention that she was a varsity member of Wofford College’s Lady Terriers Volleyball Team, so I guess that is something to be proud of.

    Most likely, as a former DOGE operative, she is simply going to act as a stooge for Elmo Musk in his attempt to secure more government contracts for Spacex and his other companies.

        1. @Anonymous

          No, you play a stupid game, and we all see it. That it IS a game to you, measured in dollars, is all anyone needs to know. The poster below that called you vile was correct.

          This will not last forever; I hope you enjoy your ill-gotten gains; the rest of us will continue living our lives. You will live with your shame forever. If not today; then someday. It will not be enough to appease your conscience. I hope you are prepared for that. We will not and can’t save you. Very sad.

    1. ““Whiskey” Pete Hegseth has just dismissed the leader of the Office of Naval Research, Rear Admiral Kurt Rothenhaus”

      A Furry Biden Bolshevik Birthing Boy stopped cuddling with Hunter Biden and his crack pipe long enough to post his crack pipe dreams.

      Or perhaps, he got them from CNN/Politico – the Obama/Biden co-conspirators in their felonious “Russia Dossier” and the Biden/Harris “That’s not a Biden Bribery Laptop – that’s Putin’s!”.

      Credibility, honesty, and character have been chasing this drug addled Furry Bolshevik Birthing Boyz their entire life… and the only success in its pathetic life is managing to stay one step ahead.

  8. I wonder if President Octavio Cortez will have to force a bill through to keep us from carving T’s into magat foreheads in the aftermath?

    1. “I wonder if President Octavio Cortez will have to force a bill through to keep us from carving T’s into magat foreheads in the aftermath?”

      Things that will never happen in the history of the galaxy:

      1. The Biden’s Bolshevik Birthing Boy Trannies will actually grow a pair of balls big enough for them to try that – when the best they can do is be brave enough to compete in womens’ sports.

      …. tell us when you start advertising that you’re accepting appointments for home visits to try that, you dear little Furry queer.

      2. Democrats are actually going to be completely insane as to turn out in enough members to elect that moronic barista because she up until she got chubby, she had a perfect fellatio mouth.

      Yep, Professor Turley will DEFINITELY turn out to vote for that!

      1. Thanks for answering, you make clear that, indeed, it appears as if she’s going to have to push that bill through.

    2. Is she going to suspend the Constitution to prevent us from exercising our 2nd Amendment rights to self defense and shooting you again in self defense

    3. I wonder if President Octavio Cortez will have to force a bill through to keep us from carving T’s into magat foreheads in the aftermath?

      I will see your commie wet dream and raise you a 9mm pair – right in the middle of your pudgy face, just above that extra anus in your face your wet dreams come from.

      But you actually showing up in person to try it?

      File that under: Things That Will Never Happen.

  9. LET HER IN!

    Latinos et al. illegally invade America by the 20s of millions; certainly actual Americans can let one rational little German girl in, she being Naomi Seibt.

    And certainly, there were Europeans—German, Dutch, and Spaniard—who participated in the American Revolution and constituted European “OURSELVES and OUR POSTERITY.”

  10. DEar Prof Turley,

    The greatest threat to free speech is corporate-state controlled media. .. which is to say ‘mass media’.

    It’s not even close.. . and, as time goes by, you can throw AI (and Trump’s exclusive Press Gaggles) in there too.

    Don’t believe a word they say unless it’s true. .. and even then, double check.

    Trump has designated ‘Antifa’ a [domestic] terrorist organization.. . one should assume they are terrorists in Germany too?

    *in any case, I suspect the threat to Antifa in the U.S. will, at least, be far greater than Antifa’s threat to ‘Anti-Greta’ in Germany.

    1. dg
      Trump has designated ‘Antifa’ a [domestic] terrorist organization.. . one should assume they are terrorists in Germany too?
      _____________________________
      Just maybe you should pay more attention to what goes on in Germany. Granted the government suppress any bad news. No different then England with the latest stabbing

  11. What exactly is FREE SPEECH, and at what point does it cease? Who are the arbiters of what is or isn’t free? The Middle World heretics have drifted so far into their feeble brain they must think they have the same power as was once wheeled by Charles I in which he commanded “….the people to submit to the royal prerogative and be obedient to his demands”, and probably the best Gas-Light of all times under his [Pledges of Charles I] “He doesn’t want to present himself as an absolute rile or as a tyrant.” The nonsense as cited in today’s post hopefully will end the same as Charles’s reign and before the birth of new morons. The abolition of Natural Rights by a republic governing body is very worrisome; the public has allowed through their votes an assault on individual rights.

    1. That’s no joke. In my neck of the woods (the poorest ‘white’ county in the U.S.A.), if they cut off food stamps and the ‘crazy draw’ (SSI), people are going to fire up the BBQ pits!

      These people are not total fools. The government ain’t out of money .. . all they got to do is make some more.

      *can’t eat money .. . but I hear the rich are considered a delicacy with a little salt and pepper.

      1. *the problem is my tiny mouse-sized balls aren’t big enough for me to actually attack the rich with my massive size mouth.

    2. Consider Iryna, too. Seibt has Musk as financial backing and us citizen which are also prerequisite. At no time can they become wards of the State.

      In Abrego García case his wife is a citizen but he didn’t obtain residency. Their 3 children being disabled are SSD and what they may not know that SSD lasts a lifetime and Mr. And Mrs. Garcia can take that with them as they relocate.

      Zombie lady uses benefits as part of an established economy. Seibt is employing asylum correctly as citing activism and speech. Since she has financial backing it’ll be given. Locate her in North Dakota where zombies are rare.

      1. ^^^ in addition the lifetime money is because the children are identified during childhood. Better get moving before Mrs García has child number 4.

        This is the mess created, congress. ☺. In Seibt’s case, Musk is good for the money.

  12. The funny thing is if you compare ICE to the Gestapo, half of MAGA gets really pissed that you are calling them Nazis, and then other half wants you to know that the Nazis were the real victims.

    1. I think ICE agents get a bad rap.
      They cry at movies like Schindler’s List like everyone else.
      They just cry at different parts.

  13. Hell no. We have enough US grown nazis, we don’t need to import them from Germany. Keep that trash out of the US.

  14. Another excellent and troubling analysis, Professor Turley. What’s happening to Naomi Seibt really isn’t as complicated as it looks. If an alien landed here and simply observed human behavior, they’d recognize it immediately: when fear and ideology replace reason, people start policing thought instead of debating it.

    Antifa and other so-called “anti-hate” movements claim to fight oppression, yet their methods mirror the very intolerance they condemn. Once people convince themselves that silencing others is virtuous, it no longer matters whether it’s done through mobs in the street or bureaucrats behind a screen—the effect is the same.

    At the same time, the West is struggling with growing Islamification—cultures surrendering their confidence and moral backbone under the weight of appeasement. It’s not just Europe; we are watching it take root across the free world. History shows that republics seldom collapse in a single moment—they erode quietly when citizens become afraid to speak, when truth is replaced by ideology, and when courage is mistaken for hate.

    We are watching, in real time, how republics fall.

      1. If I were to look at it strategically, the pattern we’re seeing aligns closely with what Islamic extremists themselves have long said they would do to influence or “take over” Western societies. You don’t need to imagine the plan—it’s being carried out in real time through cultural pressure, political lobbying, and the steady erosion of Western confidence in its own principles.

        Again, this isn’t about peaceful Muslims who simply want to live their faith; it’s about the extremist agenda that uses those freedoms to advance a system that ultimately rejects them. The West isn’t losing to force—it’s surrendering through fear, silence, and the failure to defend its own identity.

        1. Will Islam beat out Roman catholicism in North America? I’d say yes due to violence. China’s safe from it. India?

  15. Turls takes his hatred and rage toward anti-fascism out for another spin. He points at supposed anti free speech efforts in Europe while completely ignoring outright censorship efforts by the trump administration in the States. His hypocrisy is glaring…

    Then again his idiotic base here believes billionaires just give money to corrupt SCOTUS members expecting nothing in return. They don’t mind trump turning the east wing wreckage into a bribery factory. On the one hand, that’s to be expected of magats drinking scotch all day and crying for help on the Turley blog. On the other hand, we should just laugh at them and mock their existence due to the fact they’re treasonists and seditionists…

    Now watch the magats howl.

    1. Turls takes his hatred and rage toward anti-fascism out for another spin.

      Gigi: Business selling The First Felon Crackhead Kid’s friends those $5 blowjob specials behind the local flophouses pretty slow today?

      You are so magnificently persuasive you should apply to be Greasy Newsom’s campaign manager for his 2028 run for the presidency.

      I will be happy to write you a recommendation, explaining how you persuaded me to vote Democrat.

  16. In a desperate attempt to appease furious red-state farmers, Donald J. Trump ordered ICE agents to pick crops left unharvested by deported immigrants.

    “I didn’t sign up for this,” complained an exhausted ICE officer, struggling to breathe through his mask as he picked tomatoes. “I should be kicking some minority’s a$$ at Home Depot.”

    According to sources, tensions have reached a boiling point at the White House amid reports that disgruntled ICE agents were fleeing U.S. farms and seeking sanctuary in Mexico.

    In a sharp Oval Office exchange, Trump reportedly turned on JD Vance and barked, “Get out there and pick some f***ing lettuce, loser.”

    1. Now for real news. England is much like the EU
      Suppress free speech.

      London Police Demand Citizens Stop Sharing Video of Afghan Migrant Stabbing Dog-Walking Man to Death.

      Why hide this???

      1. Should people continue to share Charlie Kirk getting his neck blown off and create memes out of it? I’m sure you would be opposed to it. London police can demand people don’t share that footage. It does not mean they will prosecute those who do. Even YouTube censors or removes video of people getting killed or maimed.

        1. george.

          They don’t want the video shown, so they can hide what is going on. This is nothing new in England and now Scotland.

    2. “In a desperate attempt to appease furious red-state farmers, Donald J. Trump ordered ICE agents to pick crops left unharvested by deported immigrants.”

      Oops… I really shyte the bed by posting that before I read it. Everybody knows that only Joseph R. Biden calls those deportees “immigrants”. Donald J. Trump always correctly calls them Illegal Aliens.

      I think I can do better the next time if they just give me a chance.

      1. *. Sadly, Naomi, the US still has a form of free speech but you can’t speak at colleges or you’ll be shot.
