It’s not a university anymore. It’s just an Antifa recruitment center.
I spoke at Stanford University last week, and Stanford administrators and Leftist students made sure that as few people as possible heard me. In The Coming of the Third Reich, historian Richard J. Evans explains how, in the early days of National Socialist Germany, Stormtroopers (Brownshirts) “organized campaigns against unwanted professors in the local newspapers [and] staged mass disruptions of their lectures.” And here we are again.
In the days before I arrived on campus, the student-run Stanford Daily and Stanford Review published article after article denouncing me in the most lurid terms. It was claimed that I “give license” to the “oppression” of Jews, and that Muslims at Stanford were endangered by my work. It was charged that I have incited a mass murderer and approved of restricting the right to vote. My work was characterized, without any specific examples, of being not only inaccurate, but also inflammatory, offensive, hateful, and dishonest.
But that was nothing compared to what Stanford administrators had ready for the event itself. Nanci Howe, Associate Dean and Director of Student Activities and Leadership, and Snehal Naik, Assistant Dean and Associate Director of Student Activities and Leadership, made sure that the hall was packed with students who had no intention of attending the lecture, but were there only to sabotage it by denying seats to people who actually wanted to attend. They even kept out some members of the College Republicans, the group that was sponsoring the event.
The fascist students stood up and walked out after just a few minutes of hearing me. Then, after the walkout, Howe and Naik refused to allow in people who actually wanted to attend, refusing repeated requests to do so.
They also refused to allow the Young America’s Foundation to stream the event, clearly because they knew what was in the offing and did not want video going out live that would show just how much Stanford has deteriorated and how opposed it is to free discourse.
I had no contact with Howe. Naik greeted me with great warmth and affability, and actually said, “We’re glad you’re here.” Oleaginous insincerity oozed from his every pore. Belying his unctuous demeanor, he was so unyielding that at the end of the event, when College Republicans (who have been bullied and victimized by Stanford administrators all through this process, and egregiously and repeatedly smeared in the Stanford Daily and other student publications) asked him if some of the members who had not been allowed in could now come in for a group photo, he refused to allow even that.
At that point, I asked him if he had always been a fascist, or had become one recently. He looked embarrassed. He should be embarrassed.
. Here is video of Nanci Howe happily circulating among the Stanford students walking out of my event there last Tuesday, patting them on the back and chatting with them.
Below is full video of the walkout. Howe appears at 2:44. She appears again at the end of this video, grimacing as I criticize Tessier-Lavigne and Drell for failing to teach or defend the freedom of speech, and for acting to crush dissenting opinions.
With Howe stage-managing the disruption of the event this obviously, it’s clear now why she refused to allow streaming.
Fascism has no place on university campuses, or shouldn’t, but thanks to Nanci Howe and Snehal Naik and so many others like them all over the nation, it is dominant.
A sane university would fire Howe and Naik immediately. However, it is likely that they are not responsible, but were just executing orders from higher up. It is Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne and Provost Persis Drell who should be fired. But it is much more likely that they will be lauded and hailed by their peers for their denial of free inquiry.

Never trust a leftist.

New a conservative Christian guy that went there years ago on a fellowship.
Came back a sockless proggie. Indoctrination center.
Can’t spell leftist or liberal without l i e .
Not only did hundreds of protesters cause a disturbance outside the venue, but another 150 entered the auditorium, played Arabic music loudly to drown out what Spencer was saying, and then staged a mass walk-out minutes after the event began.
Another report:
“Two Stanford administrators present — Nanci Howe, associate dean and director of student affairs, and Snehal Naik, assistant dean and associate director of student affairs — not only nodded approvingly at the walk-out, but actively aided it, first by denying entry to many students who actually wanted to attend the event, and then by not allowing them to enter after the walkout, despite the fact that the auditorium was largely empty. They also forbade the hosts from live-streaming the talk on the Internet.”
Sickening what the universities have become but the minds of our children have been attacked with psy-ops since even before the 70s. By 1970s, the Marxist lens was completed on curricula and affected all schools which were taking government money.
Charlotte Iserbyt and John Taylor Gatto sounded the alarm in the 80s—but to no avail because of the monopoly and control of the MSM.
Now, we have irrational, ignorant useful idiots graduating, even from Stanford but the Old ivy league and West Coast elites were the leaders in adopting “Hey Ho, Western Civ has got to Go!!!!!. They had to destroy philosophy and the ideology which created the Age of Reason and Modern Science and the US Constitution for their New Age religion of total irrationality and slavery. Nietzsche told them they had to kill God (Christianity) to destroy that worldview which created the most free, brilliant cultures in the entire history of mankind and our Constitution—indivdiual Natural Rights only come from God. For slavery to the elites, PC culture and control of Words will lead to self-induced Mind Control—which destroys freedom of speech,and destroys the minds of children;
The God is Dead crew controls Stanford!! The Cultural Marxists knew to destroy the minds of children, they had to destroy the Christian worldview and all traditions, destroy the Natural family and get children away from their parents to destroy individualism and identity formation and destroy traditions, etc. Put children into the indoctrination centers to be warped and destroy reason and logic (the intellect) and have their identity so completely warped and destroyed that they would actually believe “snow is black” and boys can be girls-—they are that ignorant and dumb. They would know less than they did at age two—as Fichte/Wundt planned.
Don’t ever put young children in those evil mind-warping “group-non-think” centers which destroys the intellect and hyper-sexualizes your children so they will be fixated in puerile, narcissistic stage for life and hate the “Other” and be unable to form solid, good relationships.
If Spencer knew what was coming (and it appears he did) the first thing he should have said in starting his talk is that those in the audience who were legitimately there should know that the talk was the target of a fascist tactic, and that when individuals began to walk out together, they were simply fulfilling the fascist strategy that they’d been recruited for.
Their participation in a subsequent walkout then simply confirms the totalitarian mindset they would have just been accused of - by walking out they admit they are the fascists they’ve been recognized as. And if they decided to change tactics and stay, he could have fun messing with their minds from that point on (and all you have to do to mess with their minds is tell them truths they find uncomfortable).
My alma mater has also transitioned from a slightly left of center mindset to a full blown far left progressive indoctrination center. I have exercised my free will by ending my annual contributions and eliminating from my will the scholarship I intended to fund.
The alumni of many universities could put a brake on this nonsense by cutting off the money spigot. Many major universities depend on endowment funds to cover the cost of scholarship programs, tenured professor positions, and major building projects. Unfortunately the wealthy alumni of these schools seem intent on supporting the destruction of the republic by generously funding the forces intent on destroying it.
Stanford was a once great Engineering University. It seems to now simply an (expensive) hotbed of liberal activism. As a recruiter of engineers for a large corporation, I wouldn't waste my time reviewing anyone from such a place. The deans did not "engineer" the disruption, they simply aided and abated it.
I recall as a student at UC Berkeley in 1963, a speaking engagement by George Lincoln Rockwell, then head of the American Nazi Party, at the University’s basketball gym. The place was packed, but no protests or other intimidation to attendence was evident. Rockwell took to the stage, walked up to the microphone, began his introduction and the microphone promptly went dead and stayed dead. Someone, evidently Jewish from the yarmulka and full beard he was wearing, shouted “God has shown his disapproval” and the place broke into 5 minutes of laughter. After the laughter began to die down, Rockwell, sans microphone, shouted some snide comment and stalked off the stage. As I mentioned, the place was packed, no one was discouraged from attending. A year later Berkeley had the “Free Speech Movement” launch the 1960’s hippie counter culture. The children and grand children of those hippies are now the vanguard of imposing censorship on free speech, mainly because their arguments, if you blow on them, tumble off their perches and break into a cloud of 170 year old ideological dust.

What’s new?
Letist idiologies cannot survive on their own merit; they must be “nurtured” through whatever method works.
This is what the Soviets called “Pragmatism.”
The deans were just being “pragmatic.”
.
God bless Robert Spencer, a lion for Truth!
They used their taxpayer office to facilitate and execute a Facist rally, which pretends to be Anti-Facist.
The mere fact that the dean chose to not allow those who were unable to attend, due to over crowding, indicates more than attitude and cooperation.
The "pat on the back" indicates collusion and support.
You are doing it all wrong, that’s why they are protesting.
Comprise a riveting speech using Exclusively Parts of Adolf Hitlers speeches and writings, I guarantee they will Not only Love you, you will be Invited to speak to the Whole School next time.
try this for starters
We are Socialists, we are enemies of today’s
capitalistic economic system for the exploitation
of the economically weak, with it’s unfair salaries,
with it’s unseemly evaluation of a human being
according to wealth and property instead of
responsibility and performance, and we are all
determined to destroy this system under all conditions.
Make sure you video everything and get as many Students and Faculty to formally Sign on. My money says you can get away with this for about a year, then PUBLISH THE LIST AND PHOTOS OF ADMITTED NAZI’S
“They also forbade the hosts from live-streaming the talk on the Internet.”
Do it anyway. Dare them to try and stop you. The means to do so was likely in the palm of his hand.

Could do that, however the quote you use likely isn’t Hitlers. It’s most likely Gregor Stasser, a high ranking Nazi official who Hitler killed in the Night of the Long Knives. Some sources attribute it to Goebbels. And some to Hitler. No matter, as you note it’s clearly consistant with Nazi thinking at the time (1926-27)
it’s clearly consistant with Nazi thinking
Just like our Universities and Colleges are now!
Sanity and Stanford have long since parted ways, much less from most of the Bay Area.
