Read on Twitter
But the next day.
Everything changed.
The world darkened.
And I was exposed to something I had only read about.
I was about to become a combatant in a game I didn& #39;t really know I was even playing.

A Night for Freedom was a Saturday.
Sunday was the lull.
Monday was when it all began.
A text comes from work:

WHAT THE FUCK.
It was 10pm.
I got on twitter to see what was happening.
I didn& #39;t know what to expect.
But I knew it had to be bad.
My & #39;normie& #39; work was now investigating my social media and blog posts.
Panic.
Remember when I said I wrote stuff I thought no one would see?

It turns out ANTIFA saw that picture w/ Chelsea Manning, they figured out who I was, and then launched a twitter campaign to get me fired.
I had become a living example of the online information wars.
ANITFA contacted my employer and everyone in my field that I was a NAZI.

My heart rate and blood pressure are actually rising right now just remembering this moment.
A trap door had just opened and I was plummeting into the unknown.
I was sick.
My private anon life and my public normie life were about to fuse into a life changing disaster.

ANTIFA said I was a Nazi because I was once photographed in the same space as Jason Kessler, the infamous organizer of the Charlottesville disaster.
Turns out, I was just covering the protest against them in DC, not participating, but no one cared. https://jackmurphylive.com/antifa-bullies-richard-spencer-darkness-trumps-base-fractures/">https://jackmurphylive.com/antifa-bu...

On Tuesday my phone blew up with distraught friends, angry associates, and progressive media looking to skewer me.
The onslaught was on.
I had to post this statement in response. https://jackmurphylive.com/false-public-shaming-and-libel/">https://jackmurphylive.com/false-pub...

Think Progress ran a hit piece. They dug into my old deleted blog posts. Chum bloggers followed suit. An army of repeaters amplified the message.
They each doxxed me, spread lies, and smeared me....for what? https://jackmurphylive.com/john-goldman-jack-murphy-is-not-alt-right-ample-evidence-shows/">https://jackmurphylive.com/john-gold...

Someone set up an entire medium and twitter account to just post my worst tweets.
Someone even scooped up exchanges I had with @EdLatimore about "Coffee so black" tweets and claimed they made me a racist.
People dug through all my internet trash using the wayback machine.

One photo with Chelsea Manning and ANTIFA made me a target for character assassination.

The local press picked up the story.
WAMU, the local NPR affiliate did a relatively even handed piece. https://wamu.org/story/18/01/24/d-c-charter-school-board-investigating-senior-employee-alleged-alt-right-links/">https://wamu.org/story/18/...

Elizabeth Nolan Brown at Reason also wrote a reasonable response. https://reason.com/2018/01/29/the-new-york-times-is-now-a-nazi-paper">https://reason.com/2018/01/2...
Even the ACLU was interested in the story.
My government employer was clearly violating my first amendment rights.
The legal director wanted to take the case.
He wrote a massive paper about it.
But the ACLU board rejected it bc:
"we don& #39;t want to alienate our partners"

That was the first time I realized the ACLU had been overrun by SJW.
They didn& #39;t want to take my first amendment case because it might offend the BLM and HRC associates.
Fucking sell outs, the ACLU.

I was suspended, being investigated, and about to be fired. I was losing my job, my career, my livelihood. I was crushed.
and I was afraid.
But I kept telling myself, I may have lost all this, but at least I still have my family and at least my son and I still have baseball.

See, I& #39;m divorced. And I don& #39;t get to see my kids as often as I& #39;d like. So I started coaching little league to see my son more often.
It became OUR thing.
We both loved the time we could spend together, and I loved coaching those kids.
But now our little league gets this:

But now our little league gets this:
Someone printed out my old blog posts on sex, on feminism, and on immigration...
then printed out info from the SPLC, which they claimed proved by my associations that I was a REAL NAZI
and sent it all to my little league board.
and that& #39;s when it all got worse.

They took my job, my career, my reputation, and the most precious thing I had in my life: time spent with my son...time spent building a community, time spent volunteering....they stole it all. https://twitter.com/jackmurphylive/status/967260980735610881">https://twitter.com/jackmurph...

but wait there& #39;s more!
in the midst of all this, my employer actually swear to god SWATS me over a tweet.
The cops banged on my door in the middle of the night with a blown up picture of a tweet I sent! https://jackmurphylive.com/jack-murphy-swatted-night-cops-came/">https://jackmurphylive.com/jack-murp...

At this point:
- lost all my old friends
- lost my job
- lost my reputation
- lost my career
- lost little league
- lost time with my son
dark days indeed.
and i& #39;ll admit. i struggled for a while. a WHILE.
- lost all my old friends
- lost my job
- lost my reputation
- lost my career
- lost little league
- lost time with my son
dark days indeed.
and i& #39;ll admit. i struggled for a while. a WHILE.
I had the support of some tremendous friends.
@The_Red_Hen stuck by me.
The kids, while confused, still loved me.
& no matter how often I just wanted to crawl into a hole + give up, I knew that I had to fight back.
I couldn& #39;t let this be the end of the story.
I had to win.

So what did I do?
I rolled out the antifragile playbook.
I& #39;d been reading all about it. I& #39;d seen it in practice.
I knew that I could, no I MUST, take this crisis and turn it into something positive.
Bad publicity is publicity and it was my chance to take advantage.

First off all, I never once fucking apologized for anything.
Because I know I didn& #39;t do anything wrong.
If people think I& #39;m a nazi that& #39;s their own shit. Not my issue, in fact, it& #39;s a symptom of the bigger problem.
NO APOLOGIES
(except to my kids)

Then I just got to work.
I finished Democrat to Deplorable.
It documents everything which lead us to the Trump moment.

The book was a success, I cracked the top .5% of all of Amazon, I sold more books some days than Paglia, Coates, Rather, even Hunter Thompson.
Almost all five stars.
Amazing feedback from readers and reviewers.
And it& #39;s still selling today.

I started the podcast which has logged ten& #39;s of thousands of listening hours.
I raised the level of content, guests, and discussion.

And then, my biggest accomplishment yet, I started the Liminal Order, a private membership community.
Our goal is combat all the same forces which led me to this point.
But we do it by improving ourselves and helping others.
No negativity.

I was able to take a circumstance which ended my job, my career, my reputation, one that completely nuked my old life....and use it as a launch pad to do some good in this world.
So in some weird ways I& #39;m grateful to ANTIFA for the opportunity.

Yes, they are Darth Vader and the evil empire
and, yes I& #39;m Obi Wan in this analogy.

Today I am full time committed to creating powerful content that helps combat some of this shit I had to endure.
I get to create podcasts, blog posts, exclusive content and more - all because of the support of you amazing people.
It& #39;s been a helluva road but I& #39;m in a good spot.

But wait - There& #39;s one more happy ending here.
Remember how I was banned from coaching little league? How I could no longer help my son and be with him?
Well my son was really worried how he& #39;d manage without me.
turns out, he didn& #39;t just get by, he freaking exploded:

Son was the league MVP.
Made his all star team.
Lead his team to the City Championship.
Was selected by the Nationals to throw out the first pitch.
Made it to the Little League World Series...
And then hit a walk off game winning home run on ESPN....

And then hit a walk off game winning home run on ESPN....
But he, like his dad, had a journey to endure.
Early in the game he made a mistake. He was catching and thought there were 3 outs and dropped the ball. 2 runs scored.
He thought he lost the game.
ESPN Zoomed onto his face under the mask and showed him crying on TV.

ESPN Zoomed onto his face under the mask and showed him crying on TV.
He like, all the good boys who loved their teammates, was distraught because he thought he let everyone down and ruined their chances.
He just wanted to help them win, not be the reason they lost.
ESPN highlighted his tears and shame with 6 cameras focused on him.

With 100& #39;s of people in the stands, 1000& #39;s of people watching on tv, @HunterDrewTFA in attendance, and me, his biggest fan cheering him on-
he had his redemption with 2 outs.

I am proud of him every day.
I& #39;ll just remember that day more than others.
That day he became not just my son to coach, but a little man worth admiring.
He could& #39;ve wilted, they could& #39;ve beaten him, but he marshaled the will to win, + win he did.
Thanks for inspiring me, Son.

I cried so hard that day.
So much anger, fear, resentment, shame, pride, determination had built up inside me and when he hit that homerun it all came out.
Everything was tied together.
I wasn& #39;t in the dug out with him because of what happened.
I wasn& #39;t coaching bc of ANTIFA

But with one swing of the bat it all just released and I realized, yes, it is going to be ok...and not only that...it& #39;s going to be fucking amazing.
My son is stronger than ever.
I am stronger than ever.
My will to win is stronger than ever.
My son is stronger than ever.

and that my friends
is how I went from there
