Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux were set to speak at Auckland’s Powerstation on Friday, but venue owner Peter Campbell cancelled the event moments after the location was revealed on social media.
According to Molyneux, “Very shortly after we released where the venue was going to be, which we have to do late because of security concerns, within an hour or so the venue owner was screaming at our people and telling them to get out of the venue or he was going to have them arrested for trespassing.”
“What happened in that hour of us releasing the name of the venue and him calling us to cancel?” Molyneux asked. “If I had to put money on it, I guess he was threatened. And if that is true, if that’s true, then that means it was the use or threat of violence in pursuit of political ends, straight up terrorism.”
WATCH:
NZ's media are most to blame for the shutting down of the Southern/Molyneux event. With their wildly exaggerated & untrue narrative, MSM gave license & encouragement to extreme left subversives to threaten violence & engage in terror tactics.
