Today Live Action, a pro-life group was from suspended from TikTok*, and ZeroHedge, a site that focuses mainly on financial markets, the economy and political news with many pieces written by insiders using pseudonyms, was suspended from Twitter. They're the newest examples of what is coming to anyone who speaks out of line against the progressive Left. If you support policies or post information the Left sees as a major threat they will silence you and eventual take every action to destroy you.
Many faces/ voices have already been removed from various social media platforms from James Woods, Katie Hopkins, Laura Loomer, and even Alex Jones, whom this site DOES NOT agree with BUT he has every right to be on any of these platforms as anyone else. How is it a media site, pro-life group or someone like Jones gets banned from a social media platform yet countless antifa, BLM and other proven violent radical Leftist groups remain?
The streets are ours. The trains our ours. The walls are ours. This moment is ours. How will you and your crew build and fuck shit up for #FTP3 on #J31 (THIS FRIDAY)? Issa mothafuckin' movement. pic.twitter.com/CoEjRSvmDX
So these people get to stay on social media spewing their hate and calls for violence but Laura Loomer, who RIGHTLY called out Rep Ilhan Omar, or James Woods, who quoted a Emerson, are off!?
What you have here folks is the just the beginning of a massive purge coming before the November elections. The signs are everywhere something big is brewing. Shadowbans, reply rebooting and other forms of censorship are occurring against conservatives on all platforms, yours truly has personally experienced it too! The Left KNOWS Pres Trump utilized social media to propel himself into the White House, they want to stop that and after this week they'll do whatever the have to at any cost.
Congress could do something be forcing these companies to acknowledge they're either a platform or a publisher. If they say platform, who gets tax incentives then they will have to allow ALL speech. If they say publisher then they can say goodbye to their tax breaks. What about the First Amendment... it doesn't really apply for private companies/ organizations. This site is MY PROPERTY, I say and do what I want here up to and including censoring any comment I deem inappropriate. That's how things work in the free-world. BUT if I was getting tax incentives from the govt they could come down on me.
Other than that there's really not much any of us can do other than document the censorship, make a lot of noise publicly shaming these companies and the people responsible or organize, spend some money and show up at these companies next shareholders meeting to deliver a Corporate Squeeze through a shareholder vote!
*Live Action has been reinstated by TikTok but the action should not be dismissed. It appears it was only because of public pressure they got reinstated.
The Left is actively engaged in silencing dissent from Congress to social media or even townhall events. What you're witnessing right now are just test runs for a much larger purge coming as we approach the 2020 election, and whats to come should the Left be successful in taking back the White House and Senate.
Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Watson had their Facebook/ Instagram accounts shutdown. They, along with many others have already been silenced on other social media platforms.
Twitter has pulled the plug on the aforementioned as well as actor James Woods, who simply cited a poem saying if you launch a coup against the king you better make sure to kill him.
COUNTLESS conservatives have been shadowbanned if not silenced on all social media platforms. Yours truly YEARS ago was ringing the warning bell about Facebook's activity to silence opposing views. IMO what's happening today was tested out on small unknown/no name pages like my own because they knew NO ONE would listen when people like myself called it out begging for help. To be quite frank, I WARNED ALL OF YOU, but no one listened.
The people running the social media platforms claim those they recently purged are dangerous. Jones is an alarmist, an agitator but I have never seen him, nor Loomer, Milo or Watson ever engage in anything that can be construed as dangerous or encouraging violence. Also banned was Louis Farrakhan, who, is not a conservative, but IMO is quite dangerous, yet he hasn't committed any violence.
All parties recently banned have a right to speak, including the most incendiary type of speech. "Hate speech" is a myth, like "assault weapon", created by the Left to control the People. The First Amendment protects all speech including speech that's deemed hateful, otherwise what's the point of having 1A?
People need to know "hate speech" is not illegal, and IS protected under the First Amendment, otherwise what's the purpose in having 1A!?
Megyn Kelly put Leftist radical Richard Fowler in his place (whose argument is that of all Leftists seeking to silence dissent is based on feelings) on this very issue when the Draw Muhammad event was making libs heads explode following the attack over the event in Garland, Texas...
I don't want anyone silenced I want to know what they're doing, saying and to whom. Why in God's name would you want to pull the plug, keep eyes off them. At least now we can keep people in check. By pulling the plug we have no idea what they're up to. Why are the people who point at the other side calling them fascists acting like fascists by silencing opposing voices!? The Left wrote the book on being hypocrites, they are what they accuse their opposition of being!
Saying these companies are predominantly run by liberals is an understatement. Owners and executives sit in front of Congress even the President saying they're in the middle but in reality they're as one-sided as one could ever be. These companies want what Hillary Clinton was selling, an extension of obama's 8 years, and it didn't happen. Since Trump's election they have been in overdrive trying to reshape the truth and silence opposing views. For years it was hidden, as they experimented on unknowns like yours truly, but now their partisanship is right in the open. You can bank your last dollar these companies are going to do everything in their power to stop a Trump 2020 victory, ensure the GOP loses the Senate while the dems hold the House.
Congress knows what's going on and this isn't the first time this has happened. Television and radio were once the wild west as the internet is now. As they grew they became VERY influential on American politics and social issues where the govt had to step-in to even the playing ground where both industries are now under federal oversight. They process between them and these massive tech companies is the same, Google/YouTube, Twitter, Facebook etc have become far too influential to American politics and social issues. The moment they engage in any form of editing content they move from being a platform to a publisher where the govt should set them straight. The time for "monitoring", as Trump said in a tweet, holding hearings or talking is over. Trump and members of Congress MUST take action to reign them in. No one is calling for these companies to be shut-down we just want a level the playing field. Democrats/ liberals don't want that, and never play fair. They know they've lost in the media wars, people don't trust them. All they have left is to control the flow of information that Facebook and Google have complete control over, with Twitter right behind them. These companies need to be under federal oversight plain and simple, but we should be careful how this is done because Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg WANTS govt regs! He's playing this one close to the chest because he knows if dems run it conservs will be shutdown, speech will in fact be regulated everywhere. Handling this will be like going through a minefield. We need cool-headed people grounded in reality to make the rules for social media platforms.
Keep govt out, you say? That is possible if some alternative platforms were available. The problem there is the wealthy right REFUSES to open their checkbooks to bankroll alternatives. Instead they hoard their money while offering pats on the back with well wishes of "Good job, don't stop fighting". The day will come when they regret not helping because all that money isn't going to save them when the radicals finally come for them!
First radical progressives came for Alex Jones, Laura Loomer and Farrakhan, but people didn't care because they were "dangerous"
Next they came for Breitbart, Washington Post, Fox News and CNN,
but people didn't care because they too radical
Then they came for regular Democrats and Republicans,
but again people didn't care because they "were out of control"
Finally they came for anyone who dissented from progressive thought,
Conservative independent journalist Laura Loomer, who has been banned from Twitter and Facebook for speaking the truth, with 3 illegal aliens in-tow went to Nancy Pelosi's Napa Valley home seeking sanctuary! Now keep in mind we're talking about the same Nancy Pelosi who says all immigrants legal and illegal are welcome, that walls are immoral and keep in mind in this case CA is a sanctuary state for those seeking it! That, said Loomer and co hopped the wall on Pelosi's lavish property and set up a tent on her yard, they even attempted to enter her home but the doors were locked. Yes, this is/ was a political stunt to make a point and the point was definitely made over the hypocrisy we see daily from the left.
As you would expect the Sheriff's Dept was called out where Loomer and co were told they were trespassing on private property and were kindly given the option to leave peacefully or they'd be cited for trespassing. They were in fact deported from Pelosi's yard, as they respectfully vacated.
Now Nancy's home, like any Americans, is private property - on a small scale, just as the USA is private property to all Americans, aka taxpayers, on a large one. But per the Speaker all are welcome to illegally hop America's wall and trespass on our private property, just not hers! Again this was a stunt, but it worked. The left wants illegals to come into the US just not on their yard. If they end up on your yard, taking from you and yours that's okay to the left because we have to help them.
IMO we should see more of this at every single democrats home. They want illegals here then let illegals set up camp on their yards first, where leftists will have to feed, cloth, provide medical care, education and spending money before they expect US taxpayers to do so. The lefts hypocrisy needs to be exposed by non-violent acts like this. Until then the left will continue to push for Americans to care for illegals... undocumented democrat voters.
Hillary Clinton, her aides and attorneys destroyed evidence in a Congressional investigation. Had any other American done this they would already be in prison, but Clinton gets rewarded with multi-million dollar book deal. Lara Loomer confronted Clinton at a recent book signing asking what happened to the 33K emails, Benghazi and the money for Haiti. In typical progressive... communist fashion, the unindicted felon laughed it off recommended reading her book and then trivialized literal factual crimes as "untrue".
This is what happens in a Banana Republic, Jim Comey established the US is last year, and Jeff Sessions maintains by allowing this UNINDICTED FELON to walk free.
