OK... I'll admit right now the scandal isn't actually a scandal but if Lenny can exaggerate... And he most certainly does that... So can I.
Lenny has taken to his German language 'Cancer Patient Advocacy Foundation' webshite to decry the fact that yet another one of his Facebook profiles has been nuked by the Zionist forces of evil...
Here's the accompanying text care of Google Translate...
"Scandal! Facebook has the German Facebook page of Dr. med. Leonard
Coldwell completely deleted.
Without reason, from now on later ... Hundreds of thousands of
subscribers are shocked.
People who support the opinion and the information of Dr. med.
Leonard Coldwell, have now been cut off from the information
opportunity on facebook. There is freedom of expression in this
country. This means that anyone can say and write what they want and
it also means that they can inform themselves and where they want.
"Censorship does not take place." Art. 5GG
Dear
Federal Constitutional Court: Exercise your office! Ensure the
implementation of the laws that we demand of you! There is a great
deal of inequality in treatment here.
The company facebook deletes the website of a person who deals
with health and passes this knowledge on. In return, this company
allows Menschn, which sends out violence, rape, calls for violence
against Christians or similar socially harmful messages.
Dear readers and fans of Dr. Ing. Coldwell facebook page, please
complain! Loud and clear, so that the site can be free again. It has
worked before, so do it: complain to facebook!
https://www.facebook.com/help/community/ask/ - click
through the suggestions and ask why the dr. Coldwell
is no longer there and that you want to have them again!
Sample text:
The facebook page of Dr Leonard Coldwell has been deleted.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=679681212134147
I want to know why.
They have spent hours
raping them, allowing people to call for violence against Christians
and discrimination against Germans and other verbs. But
someone who shares important information on topics that are obviously
of great interest to society will be deleted?
The
Discrimination: The GG §1 says very clearly that NOBODY may be
discriminated against because of his religious beliefs, his opinion
or his skin color.
In addition, you violate the GG §5,
"There is no censorship."
The Federal
Constitutional Court is the next instance I will contact if you do
not restore the page within the next 24 hours.
Please
restore the page, thank you!

Thanks, dr. Leonard Coldwell and his entire team"
Clearly this was another case of Facebook getting fed up with his posting anti-Muslim hate shit and killing another one of his accounts... Something that happens about twice per annum as far as I can tell... But here's a couple of minor points Lenny should perhaps keep in mind..
First and foremost the name of the deleted account... "
Dr. med. Leonard
Coldwell"... is fake as Leonard Coldwell is not a Dr of medicine... Or anything else... And therefore Facebook were only implementing their freely published rules.
Second... The account did not have hundreds of thousands of subscribers... This is just Lenny picking a big number out of his arse because the real figure didn't seem very impressive. In reality Lenny's multiple accounts tend to have between one and two thousand subscribers... NOT hundreds of thousands.
Third... Assuming Lenny The Liar's citation is correct and Article 5GG of the German constitution says
"Censorship does not take place." that does not mean he has the right to post anything he likes to Facebook and have it published. Facebook is a private company and it has the right to choose what it does and what it does not publish. In a case where posts clearly violate their conditions of service they can remove the posts and ban the offender pretty much at their will as long as it is not done in a way which breaches anti-discrimination laws. In cases where the post advocates hatred against a particular group they are legally obliged to remove it in many jurisdictions.
The fact that he cites German law on discrimination when he has such a long and inglorious history of posting discriminatory bollocks to the internet shows how little self-awareness he has. The fact his sample text basically accuses all Muslims of being rapists and violent to Christians has just broken another one of my irony meters.
This isn't a freedom of speech issue any more than it would be if I were to throw somebody out of my house for spouting racist shit... My house...My rules... Facebook's house... Facebook's rules.
Fourth... Any protections given by the German constitution apply only within the state of Germany. If Lenny is resident in the USA (which he claims to be) and posting to a US website like Facebook those protections clearly don't apply. If on the other hand Lenny is living in Germany his claim to be a medical doctor constitutes a criminal offence there because he's nothing of the kind... Besides... Isn't he claiming to be a
Dr. Ing these days? Same old same old... Different websites... Different lies.
And then there's his holocaust denial... Another criminal offence if he's living in Germany.
So 'scandal'? No... Another one of his hissy-fits?... Absolutely...
Will he get his crack legal team on the case and bring a case in the German Federal Court for breach of his right to free speech? I'm guessing the chances of that happening are somewhere between none whatsoever and fuck all... Mind you... I wish he would... It would be very entertaining seeing mister 'I won't start the fight but I will finish it' finishing yet another ill advised law suit by losing... Again.
