Today’s blacklisted American: Literary agent fired for having Parler & Gab accounts
They’re coming for you next: A New York city literary agent was fired by her agency for merely having accounts at both Parler and Gab, based on a single complaint on Twitter.
Colleen Oefelein, an associate literary agent with the New York City-based Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency, was sacked after her boss learned that she owned accounts on Gab and Parler. The agency’s owner, Jennifer DeChiara, publicly announced on Twitter that the firm had dropped Oefelein after making the “distressing” discovery.
“We do not condone this activity, and apologize to anyone who has been affected or offended by this,” the message read. DeChiara stressed that her agency was committed to ensuring a “voice of unity” and was firmly “on the side of social justice.”
Oefelein says she was really fired because she is a conservative and a Christian. And the evidence shows that her use of these two platforms had little to do with politics, as she was having trouble logging onto her Twitter account and was switching for that reason. Moreover, when she did post on any of these social media sites, she used them not for political reasons but to interact with her clients and other writers.
None of those facts mattered. One fascist thug on Twitter complained, slandering her by accusing her without evidence of frequenting “alt-right social media”, whatever that means, and the owner of the agency, Jennifer DeChiara, moved swiftly to fire her.
In other words, merely touching a social media platform that won’t participate in the blacklisting movement is now grounds for blacklisting.
It seems to me she has solid legal grounds to sue, and win big. Regardless, this action by the owner of this literary agency shows that the storm-troopers in today’s leftist dominant culture come from both the rank and file as well as their political leadership in the Democratic Party.
Be aware. Your liberal friends might not really be your friends. Instead, they may be people who enthusiastically endorse McCarthyism and the blacklisting of innocent Americans, merely because those Americans disagree with them.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Maybe it had to do with her Client list and the subjects they were writing about.
Look at the web Pages you visit, do they have the Twitter and Facebook emblem?
That’s how they know everything about you.
JK Rowling could not get Harry Potter published there today. It has gone off the deep end.
I used to browse through Parler and now I read Gab out of spite just because of the purge. Never even knew of Gab before the orgy of censorship. I must have missed all the white supremacy and calls for violence. Lies, Lies, and nothing but Lies from the state controlled media.
There are some loons on Gab to be sure, but you know what? It’s a free country. Just kidding, not anymore.
The fundamental elements of fascism are these: 1- Single party rule. 2- The annihilation of all opposition. 3- The use of violence and terror on the general population to to achieve the two prior elements. 4- Create a mythic, evil threat-group within the population to always justify the prior three elements. 5- The individual citizen must surrendor potentially dangerous, independent rights to the state for the greater good. 6- The ruling class of the state are, without question, spiritually and intellectually superior to the masses (and therefore should be exalted at all times.) The seductive appeal of communist fascism, socialist fascism, nationalist socialist fascism, and religious fascism never diminishes to those who are convinced that only they can deliver utopia. The brave, new Democrat Party world awaits us.
Here is Ms Chiara’s list, and not very impressive it is — dead sitcom stars and, on the whole, not too many bright lights. An Andrew Wylie she most definitely is not.

Basically, she’s a bottom feeder (I wonder if, like so many agents who prey on the hopes of ladies writing about their cats, she charges to read manuscripts), but her authors might not like hearing that they are condemned by association.
I’ll be contacting a few to let them know them that those who choose to live in a sty are often mistaken for pigs.
Interestingly enough, the despicable behavior of these companies may be a violation of NY state law, as law Prof. Eugene Volokh explains. (Click on my handle for the link
“she used them not for political reasons but to interact with her clients and other writers.”
Having worked in permissions and licensing (print, video, music) for 10 years, having multiple social media accounts covering all available platforms is standard practice for someone in the business, even if they don’t use social media for personal reasons. The only way to find and/or contact some rightsholders is through specific social media avenues.
Definitely sounds like this poor woman is being singled out.

Great summary..
Read just the first third of “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”. You want to follow the antics of the WWI lance corporal as he rises to power and eventually invades Poland . Here you’ll find the template that (unknowingly?) is followed by the the left . Again, I’m not calling anyone Nazis, but I am saying that the techniques used are much the same.

I agree,
Your list almost matches what Tucker Carlson said. No one can say it better or more precise than Tucker Carlson.

The Democrats overplayed their hand, they’re in the wrong, and they’re scared. They’re looking for American terrorist under every bed…
I should add in Glenn Beck’s rundown on Bidens new cabinet, it’s almost identical to the Obama old cabinet. (Here’s the new boss, same as the old boss)
