Skip has just informed me that an hour before Andy Ngo was set to speak to the Dartmouth College Republicans the College Administration canceled the event.
The head of the Dartmouth College Republicans was notified by Administration but no reason was given at that time. But yes, I have a theory.
They are squishy left-wing cowards, which they are and we knew that.
Ngo has documented Antifas antics extensively. His street reports have shown time and again that they are the very thing they claim to be fighting. They use violence and intimidation to suppress speech they oppose and then claim this is justified because they say it’s fascist.
But this is Dartmouth. A few years ago visiting Professor Mark Bray published a book justifying the use of violence by Antifa that was supported by at least 100 Dartmouth professors.
Ngo’s presentation, Extremism in America, is about Antifa. Antifa was expected outside the event (based on Skips original post below).
And I just got an IM from Skip (moments ago!) suggesting that there were threats made against Ngo on Reddit. Really? This is andy Frikkin Ngo. He gets threats daily if I had to guess, and before every event that he’s ever done.
This means that the Dartmouth go-to response will be security. We didn’t think we could keep people safe. We never planned to either. Translation. We didn’t want him here and we couldn’t find a reason until an hour before the event. Yeah, that’s probably it.
Not that free speech or truth was ever something Dartmouth cares about. Not anymore.

Skips Original 6:30 Post:
Tonight: GrokTV Is Livestreaming Journalist Andy Ngo’s Presentation to the Dartmouth College Republicans
Beginning at 6:30 pm ET tonight (that’s now) we will be live streaming from Dartmouth College. Journalist Andy Ngo is speaking to the Dartmouth College Republicans in a little while and the topic is Extremism in America -A discussion on Antifa. The event starts at 7 pm.
Or, at least that’s the intent.
It is not clear how useful the Facilities Mgt are going to be once I arrive. WiFi? Cell Data? Dunno which I’ll be able to use, to be perfectly honest. They have not been overly warm and fuzzy about this so far. I guess they’re not fans of GraniteGrok.
But we’ve resurrected our Livestream account and will be adding more things hitting the road and streaming more live events moving forward.
Oh, and the Northeast Antifa group has decided to make themselves special guests.
It should make for an “interesting” time as Antifa hates Ngo for being one of the bravest journalists chronicling their anarchist-Fascist activities across the county especially in Portland and Seattle.
So how will things turn out? Dunno but the panel is supposed to start at 7 pm and we at GraniteGrok thank the Dartmouth College Republicans for the invite!
