Social Disease

My Twitter account is in Thelma and Louise mode as I post this — a mass deletion app is purging my old content. (Tweetdelete.net).

There’s no point in remaining on the platform, even as a source of breaking news. Trump and others have been purged in the past few hours, and the high value accounts like Andy Ngo are surely next.

Apple is threatening to ban Parler. Update: the Google Play store has.

Face it folks, it’s time to rebuild the independent conservative blogosphere.

(I’m on Parler as @katewerk, follow if you choose but I find the platform difficult to read and clunky to use)

  1. Then they’ll just criminalize the speech and people they disagree with. Its coming and its coming fast.
    Biden used the term “domestic terrorists” to describe Trump supporters – and that he will be making laws to deal with domestic terrorists (pretty sure that he didnt mean radical islam).

    1. Well … to be fair … our “17 Intelligence Agencies” have all “collectively” said we have MORE to FEAR from “right wing domestic terrorists” than we do from the beautiful practitioners of the Religion of Peace. Right?

      1. I tried to set up a parler account with my iPhone X today. When it reaches the point that the app asks for a Security conformation code the apple product will not let me enter lower case letters. the Parler program then automatically rejects my application for an account.

    2. Let them criminalize us. What are they going to do? Lock up half the country? I’ll take that trade.

      What do you call a million MAGA folks with fuckall left to lose, herded together in a massive camp, being watched over by a couple hundred guards?

      Can you say “epic prison riot” followed by dismemberment and skinning of the guards, seizure of their weaponry, and marching on the Capitol in the hundreds of thousands? To do bloody and vicious slaughter on the ruling classes and their leftist base.

      Go ahead, UnMe, TimG, and your ilk. Seize our pensions, homes, bank accounts, jobs, families. The ONLY FUCKING THINGS keeping us from going FULL ARMAGEDDON/ISIS on your fucking asses.

      Fun times ahead.

  2. It is too late I fear. Wednesday was the Reichstag fire. They are using it destroy all opponents and anything in their way. I

    1. It is the exact opposite. It is the democratic institutions fighting back against the a wannabe dictator that has no respect for the law, the constitution or even the norms of civil society.

      I realize that dedicated members of the Trump suicide cult will not understand that argument or why it will resonate with a large majority of Americans. The way forward for conservatives is to find someone who advances Trump’s policies but can do that while respecting the laws and institutions of the country.

      1. You flatter yourself if you call you comment an “argument. It is nothing but another shallow anti-Trump smear. I am getting sick of leftists claiming Trump has somehow disrespected the law. Absolutely no evidence of that. Time to climb out if your home and look at reality where the boogeyman is not real.

      2. “wannabe dictator” ? Really? please illuminate PDJT’s “dictatorial” behavior. And don’t bother … STOP the STEAL is literally the OPPOSITE of a dictatorship by virtue of it’s FACT-finding desire. Just properly AUDIT the highly irregular vote results in key States where votes magically reversed counts and found tsunamis of Biden votes in the dark of night.

        1. “STOP the STEAL is literally the OPPOSITE of a dictatorship ”

          Claiming election fraud is the standard procedure for wannbe dictators seeking to overthrow a democratic government.
          He had 2 months and 60+ cases to establish that he had a credible foundation for his claims.
          At this point claiming massive fraud is nothing but a lie designed to undermine the institutions of the country.

          “magically reversed counts and found tsunamis of Biden votes in the dark of night”

          There is nothing to audit. This argument has been debunked over and over again and the fact that you still bring it up is evidence of how Trump’s fraud claims are nothing but a tool to undermine the institutions of the country in effort to over turn a democratic election. It is basically sedition and you are complicit.

          1. So timmy,RATcliffe delivered the fact china interfered in the election just a little too late. And you think TRUMP was wrong?

          2. TimGump

            You’re threatening Dunme for biggest idiot on the Interwebby, though that’s not saying much.

            Now, my message to you is sex and travelling, Ftard!

          3. You’re just scared Timmy boy…of WHAT a Forensic Audit would find…if, as you say there is nothing there, then indulge all 82 Million NORTH AMERICANS who believe otherwise. If not, Then kindly shut the fk up…?

          4. “At this point claiming massive fraud is nothing but a lie designed to undermine the institutions of the country.”

            Sometimes I wish I was stupid so I could drift through life in blissful ignorance. Let me put this in terms you might understand:

            A guy wins the Lotto 649 six weeks in a row… using the same numbers… those numbers are 4,5,6,7,8,9.

            You’re the guy saying “What’s the problem? He bought a ticket, he has just as good a chance to win as anyone else.”

            Just because you don’t understand the statistical impossibility of what happened in November, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

          5. Yeah, yeah, Timmah … and you also believe that Maduro was “Democratically” elected … that Fidel Castro was “Democratically” elected … that Putin was “Democratically” elected … and Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un was “Democratically” elected. Every one of these Dictators claim to have been “Democratically” elected … and now you can add the name ‘Biden’ to that Rogues Gallery of ‘Strongman-Leaders’.

            You have a real perception problem …

            Stealing an election through Fraud has nothing whatsoever to do with “Democracy” … no matter how many times you ‘say-so’

      3. I have noticed many of my favourite Conservative places are suddenly be flooded by lefty trolls. I suspect that is part of the new fascist ploy to silence us, drown us in garbage. Please stop feeding them.

        1. Typical Trump cultist myopia. Trump does not represent conservative values. He is a cult leader with no principles other keeping power. Never assume that someone opposed to Trump is left wing. IMO, any principled conservative opposes Trump and his excesses.

          1. How in the Goddamn hell would YOU know what conservative values are, you soy-boy troll son of a whore? My GOD, suddenly you’re a defender of conservative values? Is there NOTHING you scum don’t think you own???

          2. Typical lefty – you think “Trump-supporters” followed Trump.

            It was the other way round, cunt. He followed them. He was the symptom not the cause.

            But I love the fact that you scum are fixated on him, though. Means you won’t see the war coming!!! And when it hits you fucks, long after you’ve done whatever magical, invented thing to Trump, when your buddies are dying screaming in the streets, hacked to bits by chainsaws and machetes, you will have this incredulous look on your faces…

            Priceless.

            Revolutions and civil wars are quite complicated things, no?

          3. I truly don’t want to know how much prior ocular penetration is necessary to produce your drivel. You just don’t get it dipshit. You want to reduce everything to a personality cult because that allows you to conveniently dismiss the legitimate concerns of people who felt Trump supported them.

            Yes, he supported them, not the other way. Wrap your heed around it. They are not the cult, you demagogue. They are people who turned to Trump because they have realized he supported them when none else did. When everyone wanted them replaced.

            And they were right. Their convictions only got strengthened when they were told “you have insurance” after a feral mob burned down their business in the name of mob’s imagined grievances. When they were thrown out of restaurants by your Antifa attack dogs because, “white silence means violence” and hence they and their families were legitimate targets. Trump was the one of very few who stood up for those people.

            And with that comes gratitude, loyalty and willingness to show you what it means to govern without consent. You will soon learn what happens when deplorable bitter clingers refuse to comply. Your BLM and Antifa enforcers will not be enough to counter that, not this time.

          4. Bdsm, you said better than I. I should have read your post before I responded to the resident Antifa sucker of cock.

      4. You do know that you are finished, right, TimG?

        Your usefulness as a useful idiot is at an end. All people like you end up in the grinder. You squeal too much.

        This has been done before.

        See you at Nuremburg. I will be the one in the court pointing right at you saying: “There’s the pansy!”

        1. Osumashi Kinyobi, thanks for that. Seems TimG’s panties are soiling again tonight. Smells a lot like me UnMe.

          bverwey

      5. So 60 million Americans are coming for you, armed to the teeth, and intent on doing you and your class vicious harm, and THAT is the best you got?

        Sheesh … dude… You need to work on “strategy” a bit more than tactics there, mate.

        A little “hearts and minds” might help too.

        “Strategy without tactics is the slowest path to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat”.

        -Sun Tzu

      6. Tim, many times I have said this and it is most applicable right now. If you are unwilling to kill your enemies they will kill you. Keep your head down sport, communists will not be welcome in America, very soon.

  3. Big Tech is settling all family business today. Exile doesn’t really work anymore but exile from the public square is good enough. Those they can’t exile they will brand as traitors, etc. You will have the acceptable opinions or you will be shunned.
    Very excited for the libertarians to tell everyone to build their own twitter, google, facebook in the comments and tell us how righteous their religious devotion to the free market is. LOL – too stupid to realize what is coming.

  4. I’ve subscribed to this newsletter. F it, I only have 738 tweets, anyway. See you on Parler/Gab, Kate.

    1. Apple is deleting Parler.

      Andrew Torba has created Gab. It is being. Flooded!!! Be patient with it. Have been able to access it only twice in 3 hrs.

      Brighteon will be the place to go for vids and info on a private network. I know you(Kate) don’t like Mike Adams, but he has done some brilliant interviews with some “controversial” guests who many of us agree with. May not be for everyone but we love Mike.

      1. Then it is obviously time to ditch Apple. At least there are non-Google options in the PC world.

        1. Sorry can’t ditch Apple, I have exactly zero of their products in my house. Four laptops, four phones, two tablets, zero Apple products. Last Apple product bought by anyone in my house was a second or third gen I-pod. FETE.

        1. I recommend GAB.
          It’s running more slowly in the past 24 hours but it IS up and running, and a much better/easier interface than Parler.

    1. Me either. I’m guessing its being flooded with new applicants.

      I suspect things will move pretty fast now. Get your ducks in a row.

      Hoping I’m 100% wrong.

  5. “it’s time to rebuild the independent conservative blogosphere.”

    Never settle for one mistake. Repeat it over and over!

    1. How will all these high tech monopolies fare when HALF their customers abandon them? Ohhhhhh yeahhhhhh … all those billions of Chinese will become customers. Nevermind that no such thing has happened yet. Nope. The ChiCom’s operate on the Costco Kirkland Brand model. Find a very popular and successful product then clone it and sell it under your own label. American Corporations have been chasing the billion-man-China market carrot … only to get the stick over and over. Idiots.

  6. Jack Dorsey has kept his end of the bargain he made with Wall Street and Beijing to assist in the overthrow of Donald Trump.

    They will not keep theirs.

    A means will be found to purge Dorsey from Twitter and put it openly in Chinese Communist hands.

    We will learn soon after that Jack committed suicide in Lagos. Nigeria’s finest will never bother explaining the bruises on the back of Jack’s head.

    I have never had a Twitter account and do not want one now. Parler is a red herring.

    I await a genuine competitor for Twitter to arise from the ashes in Israel. I expect President Trump to be among the first “angels” sending messages in English on HaMalakh from Startup Nation.

    The rest of us had better have kept a typewriter or two.

  7. Related, from a person familiar with the matter:

    “The account of the terrorist ayatollah of Iran, who has repeatedly called for literal genocide against Jews, is currently being *promoted* by Twitter.”

    1. The knives have come out for the Jews while President Trump is still nominally in power.

    2. Jack Dorsey clearly considers Startup Nation the chief threat to his and Silicon Valley’s immense wealth and power—not the Chinese communists or self-hating Jews like Doug Emhoff who’d rather burn America to the ground than build anything in Israel.

    Jack’s arrogance and myopia would take away the breath of an Arab prince.

  8. Anyone who remains on those platforms is cavorting with and supporting the enemy. I just deleted my Fascibook account. Oddly, they hold it for 30 days before permanent deletion. It’s like they can’t believe anyone can really quit for good.

    1. I deleted mine ten years ago (for reasons unrelated to politics). Never had a Twitter account. You won’t miss either one.

    2. Thomas, social media is just the start. It’s just one of the platforms the left controls. They also control things like the banks and government. Conservatives are about to find out how surrounded they are….

      1. Oh I know that. Fighting the power has been my life. The trick is knowing when the power has shifted. Too many I know support things that they are purportedly against without any thought whatsoever. I guess they think of it like sports, as long as the players wear the same uniform, they must be the same team. Anyway, I’ll fight the law and the law will win. No surprises there.

      2. “All right, they’re on our left, they’re on our right, they’re in front of us, they’re behind us…they can’t get away this time.”

      3. Only if you give a shit. Once they take that from you (and that is the PERFECT scenario for the conservative side) you will have nothing left to lose.

        A pissed off man with nothing left to lose is called a “guerilla”, or a “revolutionary”. Man I HOPE they seize everything from conservatives. It is the ONLY thing that will galvanize all of those lazy apathetic slugs to go full IRA on these leftists and their institutions.

    3. I also suggest that everyone CANCEL Netflix. I am already sickened by their promotion of leftist Riefenstahl-styled propaganda documentaries and films … but it is now time to walk-away from ALL leftist monopolies.

      1. All streaming services are proud of their degenerate line ups. No plans to start picking them up any time soon.

      1. I am busy tonight on FB making comments, where I would usually roll my eyes and scroll away. And I am posting as many good conservative vids as possible (Rubin, and some of Kates as well)
        Wonder how long till I get banned?

        Rebel media is still on Twitter…I do not have a twitter account but have follwed twitter to keep up.

        1. Never been on Twitter, although I read several Twitter feeds such as Sundance on The Last Refuge2 and CTH/ Conservative Treehouse.
          Facebook put me into jail for 30 days on Friday Jan. 5th for posting a political message I picked up from GAB.
          Fark ’em in the heart …I won’t be going back to FB.

      2. Ha! You and me too. But I admit that until today … I had an Instagram acct. (with nothing in it) … just so I could view a relative’s Instagram acct. titled “slabs of vinyl”.

        I pulled my Instagram acct. today

    4. I left Facebook last summer and deleted my Twitter account more than 4 years ago. Don’t miss either of them.

  9. Social media is a cancerous carbuncle on the ass of sanity.
    Anonymity is gold and its the only thing keeping UnMe the Shitbag alive.

    1. Can’t argue with that.
      When SARS hit 20 years ago there was no mass hysteria, lockdowns, etc. No social media.
      Compare that with today’s response to the Covid fear mongering via social outlets.

      1. The response shows how dumb people have become. sars cov2 is no worse that the swine flu, sars, or any other damn flu. The people however are as dumb as a bag of rocks.

  10. If you must, here is what Twitter have to say for themselves:

    https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension.html

    It reads like the sort of self-serving nonsense my ex-wife used to say to make something truthful and sensible that I had said a pretext for a pointless argument.

    Anything the globalists, the Chinese communists and the Iranian ayatollahs say must be put into the context of their ultimate goal to destroy Western civilization, wipe out the Jewish and Christian faiths, murder and/or enslave the proletariat of the western world, and replace all of the above with something more to the liking of soulless psychopaths.

    They’re still on Twitter.

    1. A teen drug addict makes a fine suicide bomber. AKA human drone strike. Just ask Hamas and the Tamil Tigers, right?

      Lot and lots of young, desparate, drug-addicted white working-class males that the system has neglected, amd abused, all in the name of “equity”.

      They would make a fine suicide ‘strike force’ for those so inclined to recruit them.

      Always be prepared, and remember, lefties, in all things, your enemy always has a say. I remember that from my military training (and war fighting) days.

      Actually, the nightmare scenario would be if ISIS began converting these kids to Islam… BuhBye multi-culti, gender-fluid left …

    1. There are things that can be done to make it even more of an app like experience too. They don’t need an app store but they need to secure hosting that won’t pull the plug.

    2. I would a day or two. I’ve been trying to make an account and it’s not working. They are swamped.

  11. L- Are we entering a new Dark Age?

    How long? How dark? How many generations? How many heroes and martyrs?

    Post WW2 to Sept. 11, 2001, was a respite from war, 2 generations had paid for it.
    After Sept. 11, 2001. We retreated. Until, Pres. Trump took out the Islamic State.
    The C.C.P. virus 2020, the first biological warfare, in the year of 2020, we surrendered.
    The Global Investment firms,Tech Oligarchs and the C.C.P. Party, are the Axis Powers.

    How many of our trusted institutions, including our nation-states, are their minions?
    Is there a David to slay the Goliath? Does the Leviathan have an Achilles heel?
    Will the phoenix burn and rise again? Will suffering, death and rebirth cross this way, again?
    … to be continued

    Only the dead have seen the end of war. – Plato

  12. Trump has joined Parler and the incoming traffic has crashed it. We shall see what impact the inevitable Apple ban has.

    The next while will be interesting as social media reshapes and traditional media reshapes further. As my kids become adults (one this year) and their friends are the same age, they think Facebook is for old people, and twitter is useless. And with people continuing to seek alternate forms of entertainment, viewing of traditional tv news sources will continue to decrease. Obviously this has been the trend for some time now, but this will be a super event that will give this trend a large boost as us middle age and seniors follow the lead.

    For those cheering the deplatforming of conservative voices, its difficult to differentiate them from those that stood by cheering the burning of books they didnt agree with.

  13. Do any of you ever take stake of how silly and dramatic your comments are? “Oh my god Biden is gonna end free speech!” “Oh lord help us, socialism is here!” “Oh sweet Jesus, they’re going to surely take my gun!”

    It’s the same refrain for each change of government and I’ve watched it happen for nearly half a century now. Don’t get me wrong, Dems do it to too for their pet issues.

    The truth is that America is a large ship with a small rudder, your free speech is going nowhere.

    The truth is that you’re not allowed to incite riots and that’s what happened.

    Four years from now, you’ll all still be here complaining about the end of times… unless your high blood pressure gets you first.

    So relax a little. It’s good for your heart. It’s usually not nearly as bad as you think.

    1. “The truth is that you’re not allowed to incite riots and that’s what happened.”
      Who exactly do you think incited a riot? Don’t bother answering. I know what you are thinking. But Trump invited participation in a peaceful demonstration to protest a stolen election. The claim that he incited a riot is nothing but yet another political smear. And that’s the truth. You also are overly confident about the future of free speech. There is already lots of evidence that free speech is being squelched.

      1. Thanks LindaL. There is bewilderment from our side that these twit/faceturd etc, platforms are going as far as they now are, openly. Now that Trump has conceded, they are taking him out of their platforms, and the left rejoice. They cannot see the reality in front of their face. 75 million plus pissed off people!

        They actually think it’s a good thing. I wonder how they will feel; when their speech is curtailed. They think they’ve won, and they also cannot see that reality either. When someone keeps screaming at you, and keeps jabbing their finger in your chest, dig, dig, dig, then when we begin to refuse to take it anymore, and we will snap that jabbing finger, and the snapping will increase. We can all see this is a society collapsing, and devolving into civil war….sadly, there will be blood! We must all ensure our houses are in order, our debts minimized, our shelves are stocked and our “defensive supplies” are at the ready. The next decade will NOT be enjoyable, but necessary!

    2. If what happened Wednesday was a riot, the term has no meaning.

      A few brave souls showed up at Capitol Hill to protest the coronation of Joe and Kamala against the will of the American people, and let the globalists know they meant business about choosing their own leaders.

      The protest was crushed, with jackbooted thugs killing four innocent people.

      The protests were organized on social media. So, the globalists have understandably concluded that they no longer have any choice but to shut down social media in its current form. Freedom of the press only ever meant much if you were rich and could afford access to a printing press. They never counted on every prole getting one.

      Never fear. Your kiddie porn and Holocaust jokes won’t go anywhere. Just think twice before you criticize Sistah Kamala.

      1. Hmm..just read a note and watched a VIDEO of the actual supposed shooting of Ashli…by Qanon

        False Flag if I ever saw one….it’s up on Brighteon. And anyone actual believibg AntiFa-BLM had squat to do with what went on…??

        Needs their entire body scanned for evidence of intelligence…I’ll add theink on a minute…

    3. You are half right Ivan, inciting anything is bad if you are right of center. If you are left, anything goes.

    4. Well aren`t you the champion of Selective Indignation. And pray tell us why you remained silent for the past six months when Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Macy`s, Wendy`s, Minneapolis etc, etc, were subject to rioting and looting without so much a peep from you or the Democratic Party enablers. Wasn`t it Harris that paid the bail for the well funded Antifa clowns together with various MSM talking heads justifying the ‘mostly peaceful ” protests. You must be either uninformed, misinformed or mind numbingly stupid to be able to write such drivel. The Democrats have clearly demonstrated, over the past four years, they will sink to any depth necessary to gain power, criminal, illegal, immoral conduct is in their DNA and do you think that once in power they will be hindered by any concerns about democracy. You Sir, are dangerously naive.

    5. Democrats cheered on Burn Loot Murder and Antifa. BLM/Antifa infiltrators managed to stir up some conservatives. Now the same Democrats are condemning conservatives for only doing a minuscule action compared to the BLM/Antifa riots.
      Leave your fake high and mighty where it belongs.

    6. I had a neighbor in Africa in the 80’s. Her parents were German Jews. They ’emigrated’ in 1935, after Hitler really began to consolidate power. Her family mocked them for leaving. They said “Hitler is just an excitable chap, who says things to rile up his base, and keep them under his thumb. Secretly, he needs us Jews to run his banks, his factories, his armaments programs. Sure, there are things we are now restricted from doing, but we are not hungry, we have a car, money, a job”.

      She never saw them again. She never married either. There was a deep, inconsolable sadness in her. Her body escaped the fires of Treblinka. It was like her soul never got away. It left a lasting impression on me.

  14. Well you have to admit,they are fully out in the open.
    Every fool,bandit and specialized parasite has made the stage.
    So?
    Whats next?
    While I expect a grand finale from Trump,I am not adverse to doing a little culling myself.
    And it will be so easy.
    Stop doing any work,that you pay taxes on.
    Treat Government and regulators as they treat you.
    Lie,deny,obstruct and misdirect.
    For we now know all we need.
    Rules are for us little people.
    Just Us is the System.
    It is very freeing,when your lying ,evil parasites,finally expose their malice.
    So prepare yourself.
    If you have not had the sense to do so already.

    1. Trump’s success has been to shine a light in all the dark little corners. Watch the cockroaches come in the open. Trouble is, these roaches are poisonous.

      1. You cannot arrest some one for thinking about a crime and Trump, who has been a student of Sun Tsu and the Art of War since his Military College days (his book was, after all, named the Art of the Deal) has withstood everything they have thrown at him for four years and now has allowed them to play out their nefarious and criminal plans. They have all, every actor arrayed against him, played their hand, exposed for the entire world to see. Corruption on a scale never imagined but rest assured very well documented. How will they stand in the winds that will now blow. Pelosi et al consider they have “won” but in their smug self satisfied minds are oblivious to what they have lost. What would be a good time to submit the Joe/Hunter Biden, Ukranian/ China corruption Dossier with the attached Impeachment Documents. Too soon ? Just following the Democrat playbook is all. Pelosi et al will soon learn they have won the Monkeys Paw.

        1. They are very afraid of what he will do in the little remaining time he has left.

          Trying to silence him and us as fast as possible before the rest of the sheep on the plantation are red pilled.

        2. If Trump is smart, he’s stuffing that 747 of his full of cash and rounding up his extended family and heading for a country with no extradition treaty.

          1. I will say that I think if anyone goes after President Trump there will be blood in the streets, lots of democrat communist blood.

    2. ‘Stop doing any work,that you pay taxes on.’
      THIS.
      I’ve been thinking about this since 2015 when The Faggot came to power started incinerating tax dollars. But nothing in my life has scared me like this… the Dems having all three branches of the US government.

      I plan on retiring from my job and investing it all in blue chip stocks that pay dividends. You can earn up to $55k/year in Canada and pay 0 (ZERO) income taxes as long as it’s dividend income.

      1. Be careful! Extraordinary high valuations in stock markets today.
        Your main issue, whether you know it or not, is to keep what you have (in purchasing power).

        Question: What happens in a bear market?
        Answer: That’s when shares go back to their rightful owners.

        1. Tough to do GGO. I have posted in the past about what I had done to retire and the inflationary buffer of 10% built in, It has not been enough. While my cash flow is still considered more than adequate, the government can erase that rapidly with massive debt, which we have, massive deficits, which we have, and a constant increasing of the money supply be it paper or digital.

      2. One option to consider about paying taxes. Some municipalities have a by-law that if you are over 65 you can defer your municipal taxes. That in and of itself would be enough to stop and consider. We are taxed to some degree voluntarily and if you defer the municipal taxes you stop paying for some of the infrastructure that runs the economy. Municipal workers, teachers, police, fire, first responders, road repairs, etc., etc., etc., are paid through municipal taxes. Now the average number of retired workers that defer their taxes will not bring the economy to a shuddering halt, but it may send a message to the first line politicians that will reverberate through the political structure. If the local politicians try to change the status quo they will be the first to go. Just a thought.

  15. We can just go back to blogs. You don’t need an account on twitter to read stupid leftists making fools of themselves. The key thing is stop giving fake news sites clicks as well. Kate, please consider using archive.us to provide links. In this way the fake news only get one hit and not thousands. Everyone has to do their part.

    Boycott Amazon. Delete Facebook and Twitter. Don’t go to drudge or any other fake news site. Buy nothing from leftist companies. Do not hire leftists and do not engage with them.

    1. Blogs? You’re living in the past. Even if you have your own server to house it on, it will take one link to your blog by some lunatic (or a deep state agent posing as a lunatic) to hold you responsible for hurting somebody’s baby and shut you down for good, just for starters.

      Now would be a good time to invest in a typewriter and a photocopier and rediscover the joys of passing out pamphlets. They can’t track those back to you as easily.

      1. There’s options in terms of hosting that doesn’t rely on facist tech monopolies. There are still hosting companies in actual free countries outside of North America.

        1. You still need a connection to a server in Russia (debt-free) or Israel (prepared to nuke Europe’s financial capitals at the drop of a hat). They control the hardware too. They’ll find you.

          If you’re not Jewish and can’t afford a Russian passport, typewriters it is.

      2. Santa…

        Yep, old tech will resurrect…I firmly believe it.

        Kinda like DUNE…where we may have to destroy it all in order to save ourselves…sorta.

        Anyway, as for Apple, I was never a fan although I gotta admit, I’ve been using a2012 MacBook Pro and it’s never crashed on me once…but tey can keep their 2000.00 phones..

        I’ve just resurrected 2 BlackBerrys (Z30 +Classic)… I think they may well come in handy…for certain no spying (at least overtly)

        We all may need to go low tech…and stay under the radar so to speak.

    1. Noting complaints that Parler was used to coordinate the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, Apple informed Parler executives on January 8, 2021 that its mobile app would be removed from the App Store within 24 hours if Parler did not improve its moderation policy.[37] wikipedia

  16. hmmm

    // Parler’s whole schtick is that it is a “free speech” social media platform, and it aggressively courts users with right-wing views (who often go there to peddle far-right conspiracies sites like Twitter and Facebook have taken to labeling false or misleading). These users like Parler because there, they can express their opinions “without fear of deplatforming” (as long as they don’t overstep Parler’s terms of service).

    Oddly, that freedom means anyone can impersonate another user on Parler without facing much in the way of repercussions. To head off the possibility of this problem, you can sign up for an “influencer” account—Parler’s version of verified users—that will help you stand out from the crowd (and the potential lookalike accounts). But earning this status requires you to fork over your social security number, which allows Parler to confirm your identity.

    Parler says its user data is stored securely, and that it deletes social security numbers and other identifying information once users are verified. But even if Parler is honest about its data policies and keeps your information safe, the mere act of giving your social security number is a major risk. //

  17. Again, secession. We don’t just need our own communication networks, we need our own country. We need to find a new Plymouth Rock to sail to. We tried the legal way in the U.S. (and I suppose in Canada) and that’s closed to us now. Elections mean nothing, not when the left can just order in a few hundred thousand “votes” here and there in key areas. The courts mean nothing, not when the Supreme Court of the land caves to the fear of leftist mobs (think of Roberts screaming about “riots!!!!” as a reason not to pursue Texas’ constitunional arguments — it wasn’t Trump supporters he was scared of). Not when judges cave to the fear of what the elite can do to them. The police and the law want their paychecks and won’t rock the boat. They’ll do what the elites tell them to do. And when the elites say “crack down with everything you’ve got on crowds of a right political persuasion but ignore all left-wing violence”, the police will obey. The law soon can no longer be counted on. There is no neutrality from a “blind” justice holding the scales. The scales are all weighted left.
    We can see the hatred in leftists’ eyes and hear it in the rhetoric from the politicans, the entertainment industry, the media, the academics. We can hear and experience their demonization and vitriol and lies and distortions and projections. They don’t just disagree with us. They hate us. They want us destroyed, cancelled, ruined financially and socially, in the gulag, re-educated, eradicated. They have ‘othered’ us. They call anyone who just wants to earn a living, be free to worship as they please and hang out with whoever they like, and keep more of their own money instead of watching the astronomical wasting of their taxes on the elites’ special projects and cronies and vacations and expensive lifestyles… they call anyone like us “deplorables” who need eradicating. Founding our own country and our own place to be free is really now a matter of survival. We have to do this before they control ALL the communication. Once we’re isolated and can’t communicate, we’ve lost our chance. We’ll become peasants under their rule, or imprisoned, or dead. I’m not exaggerating. Read about communist takovers in Russia and Eastern Europe and Asia and Central and South America.
    The great American experiment that gave middle class average folks such a good life for a few hundred years is over once all communication is controlled, because the law and the elections already are controlled by the left. Good, decent-but-careful people, concerned for their children and livelihood, will watch silently as the bold and brave (Limbaugh, Trump, any local conservative radio talk-host, a few too out-spoken sherriffs or army sergeants, a few honest journalists) are imprisoned, “disappeared”, killed. We’ll be back to a few thugs on top and all the peasants below, which is all Communisim and Socialism and Medievalist Royality really is.
    Secession and forming our own country right now is a matter of survival.

    1. I’ve been saying this for almost 10 years… anytime in history when oppression has reached this level against a group of people, they always vote with their feet. I’m wondering where we will go?

    2. Nicely encapsulated Ann, but where do we “found a new country” there is nowhere else to go, and I suspect the left will resist giving over half of North America, so we can found our own country. We need to realize that this is an extreme hate, they don’t just want us gone, they want us silenced and dead, eradicated like rats and cockroaches. They fail to see they are also signing their own demise. When the lefty elite have achieved their domination goals, the rank and file lefty mobs will no longer be needed, they are useful idiots that will also be eradicated. Ultimately, the elites see us all as a drain on planetary resources, and think we need to be depopulated by a vast number. I would not be surprised if they plan to use an inoculation scheme to create mass infertility to bring us down to a controllable number that is sufficient to serve their needs. Then they and their offspring can continue their elite lives, and their wishes to pursue their deviant peculiarities that would make Hollyweird blush.

      Yes they see us as deplorables and as a commodity. Our lives don’t count, and this planet is their playground, that they intend to use as they see fit. This is why they will go after the firearms in both our countries, for you cannot control an armed populace. The rabid left rabble are expendable and are being used to gain the control they seek. The lefty rabble have such a blind hatred for us, they cannot see the realities in front of them. They will learn the hard way, that the elite are not their friends either. I for one will not just go quietly into the night, I intend to take some of them with me, if they come for me and mine!

  18. Steve Bannon’s War Room Pandemic just deleted from You Tube. Tyranny is starting to roll. Dark times ahead I fear. The forces of Evil are in ascendance.

  19. If there’s an insurrection, nobody is going to bother with those clowns in the capital, they’re going to go after the powerful…

  20. Yesterday James Woods, the actor and conservative commentator, reported the loss of 15,000 Twitter followers in the span of a few hours.

  21. parler seems to be having major problems. of course it is only a coincedence that this is happinung at the sae time.

  22. I texted my brother on Wednesday afternoon that the Capitol events would be used as an excuse to remove every last vestige of conservatism from the Internet.

  23. Google just suspended Parler from Google Play. They are so afraid of unrestrained speech they just shut down an app. Think about that.

  24. You Peons are too stupid and gullible to hear from out of control violent fascists like President Trump and Kate McMillan.

    Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the dozen other Social Media goliaths (I refuse to use) are only acting with your best interests in mind. They know better than you what you should be allowed to hear and what you should be allowed to think.

    Obey them unthinkingly, they know better than you.

  25. FYI: Parler is owned by George Soros…I wouldn’t trust it either.

    Try Gab.

    What dimension have we wound up in?

      1. My fault. I had read about it a while ago (not from a credible source, apparently) and did not check on that again tonight before posting. Apologies.

  26. I’m in the process of abandoning gmail.com and moving my e-mails over to protonmail.com

      1. I’ve archived a lot of messages on Gmail and I’m wondering how to transfer them over to Protonmail. I could resort to brute force and do it individually, but I’ve got several hundred.

        I’m sure I’ll figure something out.

      2. Same. Linux, Protonmail, the Brave web browser, Tor, Rumble, Parler, DuckDuckGo.

        There is no excuse for anybody who bitches about the control that Big Tech presently enjoys to be exclusively relying upon their one-sided, dystopian platforms at this point.

        These alternate platforms are maturing. Support them.

  27. “It’s time to rebuild the independent conservative blogosphere.”
    Laura Ingram just hosted the fellow from the walk away movement. He was deplatformed. Right now he’s endorsing CloutHub.

    (Might work..)

  28. The evolution of Parler in wiki fragments:
    //
    launched in August 2018
    Reuters wrote that Parler had “mostly been a home for supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump” until June 2019.
    In June 2019, Parler said its user base more than doubled when around 200,000 accounts from Saudi Arabia signed up to the network … triggered … which Twitter had described as “inauthentic” accounts in an “electronic army” pushing the Saudi government’s agenda
    a surge in signups in mid-2020. In May, Twitter sparked outrage among President Trump and his supporters when it flagged some of the president’s tweets
    some attention to Parler within the United Kingdom. Thirteen MPs had joined as of June 23, and some British right-wing and conservative activists endorsed the service over Twitter.
    Other prominent Republican and conservative figures also joined in June, including Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, New York Representative Elise Stefanik, and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley.[52]
    Jair Bolsonaro, the right-wing President of Brazil, joined Parler on July 13.

    October 1, 2020, Reuters broke a story that people associated with the Russian Internet Research Agency,
    Also in October, as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube acted to ban content supporting the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory, thousands of QAnon proponents migrated to Parler
    prompted some members of the Proud Boys and adherents of the boogaloo movement to move to Parler.
    following the 2020 United States presidential election … The app was downloaded nearly 1 million times in the week following

    2021 Both Parler and Gab were used to plan the storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021
    // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parler

    So mostly a collection of rightists who don’t want to be fact-checked.
    [having these people all together will be handy for the authorities … deep state, whatever]

    Futhermore, how influential will they be outside their safe-space. I don’t have a twitter account, but I have many links: writers, journalists scientists,etc who have back and forth discussions of their work which ANYONE can read.

    I’ve even read Trump, [mainly for the responses].
    But, apparently, no more. Great for Trump: he’ll be among admirers.
    But how will we know the latest deep thoughts of Jair Bolsonaro; how will Nikki Haley promote her presidential ambitions among people who don’t already support her?
    And the jokes [a best feature of twitter] will be lame.
    Parler is supposed to have a double meaning: a place & speech. One is misspelled, the other mispronounced

  29. LOL…can you imagine the level of insecurity one must feel to delete and suspend those who think differently than you?
    You know why? Because Marxism doesn’t fucking sell that’s why. It never has and it never will.
    You know what’s next right? If you don’t, you should read a book.

  30. But Kommisar Ivan Wankstain just told us it could never happen here! Why isn’t that good enough?

    Here’s a potentially cheering fact though: while members of The UnMe Generation crow about conservative age and irrelevance, I’ve got sobering news for them. Most of the young kids coming up, the ones who will be holding the reins of government when he’s a raddled old junkie raving about the glorious utopia of the Biden years, do not give two shits about leftist or any other partisan politics. Oh sure, you get certain girls and the sissies who pine for them giving parroted lip service to this SJW crap – but most of them would much rather be gaming, or making highly amusing and insightful memes about it on Reddit or their Discords. To them, a guy like UnMe (or dizzy, lance, TimG) would be immediately and accurately identified as a pathetic incel and figure of fun.

    While at first this might seem frivolous and a poor way of resisting tyranny, I assure you: these kids are very smart, mutually supportive, and hyper-aware, and if they sense some stiff schoolmarmish pukes in suits plan to trample on their freedom to live their best and happiest life, it will not go down well.

    Hope this helps a bit during these very trying times. For now though, it sure is ugly.

  31. Kathy Shaidle is saying “I TOLD YOU SO!!!!” pretty hard today. She’s been saying Conservatives need their own infrastructure for 10 years at least.

    1. No. The point is they wanted to own it and control it as well. We need arenas to voice ideas, not filter them and mold them. As for the Conservatives, most of them have proven themselves to be Liberals since Covid began.

  32. Well, I have two things to say:
    1. I wish I had a twitter account to delete, but I did that when they squashed the NY Post story about Hunter Biden.
    2. I had been noticing that Kate (and others) have been embedding a tweet in a large number of posts. This has alarmed me a bit… I’m glad to hear that she has cancelled her account.

    I am, however, a Twitter shareholder and I think I’ll sell, but that might be a tad emotional. Although with no Trump tweets, Twitter might be circling the drain.

  33. January 6 might be remembered for a while now. Now because of its direct impact (I’ve seen a better uprising by Canada Geese in the park in spring) but because it lifted the curtain fully on the intentions of these a-holes to silence speech.

    LARPing resistance is one thing, actively pressing the iron boot on on keyboards is another entirely.

    Parler is being throttled, gab can’t spin up fast enough and it’s being crushed. They’re both being overwhelmed by the flood of those cancelled or fleeing Twitternacht.

    I’m staying on Twitter, if only to listen to the echo chamber but to follow trolls like Malice and maybe make the occadional smart-assed comment.

    I can’t control it, so may as well have some fun with it before I too get cancelled.

  34. Never had a Twitter account; never will. I said from Day One that Twitter is for twits; it was primarily for the media / the politicians & Hollywood to use while they sat around in a Circle Jerk. Then attacking anyone who did not drink their Cool-Aid…

  35. In all honesty, Kate. I always thought you had an unrealized Gold Mine here that was going to waste. I followed your site since the early 2000s and thought this was going somewhere, but somewhere along the line it got off track and too comfortable. Everyone knew each other and comments seldom rose past 60 or 70. The comment section was hard to wield and no formating of comments, or search component for debates, made it sluggish and heavy. You have a good thing here, don’t get comfortable, and bring it up a few notches. Now you can go ahead and ban me forever, as I know you have some issues with my comments.

  36. I feel the need to point out that Parler can be accessed through any browser, so Apple and Google banning the app from their respective stores will have minimal impact in the long run.

  37. Any one who thinks you pay ZERO tax on dividend income better talk to your accountant.
    This is CANUCKISTAN The motto is We are Canadian, TAX us and the Govt sure as hell does!
    Just watch this Ottawa Twit go after your savings accounts to pay for his free wheeling give away millions to every scumbag country and company ( WEcomes to mind) needs to be covered by the sweat of your balls!!

  38. I have this “special” button on my mouse that allows me to ignore all the trolls.Its called the scroll button.Works like a charm.
