Big tech is staging a digital coup

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 1/10/2021 12:40:12 AM

Big tech censorship is coming for conservative voices and it is coming fast. In their actions to remove conservative voices from the public sphere, big tech companies that collectively control the flow of information for billions of people have all but announced that they are in control of the American political system.We cannot meet in person because of COVID-inspired restrictions, and now we cannot meet online out of fears of being silenced.With support from influencers like Michelle Obama, as well as many in congress and media, social media sites are banishing conservatives from their user base. It's happening with alarming speed.

You can't say anything at work or school, or wear any conservative insignia, or you will be attacked, or fired. And the Republicans have turned upon themselves, instead of fighting the Democrats. I am tired of being told to be peaceful by Fox personalities, as they bend to management's directives, virtue signal---and I have not left my home, nor have very many of you done anything but express your views. I really appreciate all those conservative voices telling me to be nonviolent. We don't get anything anymore. Only that we should sit down, and shut up, and don't go to church either. Even the pastors have surrendered, no longer assemble, or have adopted noise music to attract the young. It looks like we are done. The Democrats rule it all: government, media, schools, workplaces, sports. Conservatives run nothing. Have conservatives even got a lawyer? None have shown up to defend those polling places. The Rinos wanted to get rid of Trump, but the Republican Party has committed suicide in doing so. We are left with smoke signals, unless we are banned from matches.

The good news is that "big tech" is entirely superfluous, and can be dumped and ignored. You can have a very nice, normal, sensible life if you NEVER use Fakebook, Twitter or Google. I use Bing or Duck-Duck-Go for searches, have not use Google in at least 15 years now. I've never been on Fakebook or Twitter....haven't missed it a bit. Occasionally a news story has a link to a video or photo on Twitter, and I have looked at a few of them - but never been connected to it myself. If 75 million people ditch this hideous leftist, treasonous pieces of garbage, it will help us and hurt them.

Dumped Amazon tonight. Cancelled the Amazon Prime service we have had for 7 years. That is what $119 a year. Cancelled about 25 "Subscribe and Save" items, some of which we received every month. That alone is approximately $350 a month. I will reduce my Amazon to a bare minimum and will find other places to shop. As a family I would not be shocked to find out we spend $750+ a month on Amazon. No more!! Free speech is more important than Amazon's cheap Chinese crap!! I dumped Facebook long ago. I never used Twitter. I dumped Netflix. Now Amazon. It will be tough at first but I have no problem sticking to my guns when the going gets tough.

The age of censorship. And who is stopping big tech from suspending accounts of those who misbehave? So far, nobody. I never had FB and tweeter accounts. I don't do instagram. Not sure about parler yet. I only use YouTube when working on the truck or car and need to see a video for how to fix something. I never had that constant need for approval from so-called digital friends. I have real in-life close friends who really matter to me. And, yes, I don't use google. A full-time duckduckgo guy now. We unplugged Alexa. And artificial intelligence is imbedded in all of the devices we use. You think that the advent of 5G communications is just a faster way to transfer data? Guess again. See the 2020 film, "The Social Dilemma" for interesting insights as to how digital media and silicon valley have taken control of our minds especially the minds of our young people...what we think, when we think, and how we think...things that bring instant gratification. If you have children or grandchildren, they must see this film. When my 13-year old granddaughter was here over Christmas week, we played it one night and I watched her body language which was clearly in rejection of what she was seeing. After the first 30 minutes, she lost interest and started texting her friends...that need for constant approval is that strong.

Big Tech is only biased against Conservatives so the democrats actually approve of their overreach. Nobody is going to stop a great leftist propaganda setup like that. I have a wife who insists that I pay for Amazon and Cable TV in the house. If I got rid of her it would solve three problems at once.

I consider this a blessing in disguise. This will force competition to appear. I wouldn't be surprised if President Trump already has something lined up. I hope he starts a new platform for his 75 + million voters to use. He should make being a stockholder easy and accessible. Bring in the great mind to work on it. He could be the chairman of the board and Ivanka could be the CEO. There are digital companies already in place who would give do anything if he were to acquire them. We don't need the Chinese or Big Tech. Mr. President build a better mousetrap and Make America Great Again.

Get your ham license NOW and get a radio NOW. Net neutrality and the fairness doctrine are GOING to pass within the first 100 days, so don't be surprised when the ability to talk about facts, truth and data goes away for good. Uncle Sugar will shut HF down last because it's much harder to do. Licenses will be revoked, arrests will be made but it will be extremely difficult for them to stop communication completely. Either think what I just said as tin foil material or keep petting your purple unicorn. The nation you still think exists ended on Wednesday. The terrible results of that ending are coming right soon and will not be stopped nor even slowed down by a minority of bed wetting cowards.

Yes Mozilla Firefox made a nasty little anti-Trump statement calling for full on censorship of Conservatives. They are dead to me. We moved to a browser called Brave. Trying that out. Any other suggestions are welcome. We moved to Duck Duck Go for our search engine long ago and it is so nice not to be Google-herded to just their approved sites. Just cover up the cameras and microphones on your devices. We know A!exa listens in on people in their own homes. That has been documented.

Dumping F'book, Twit, etc is great but without the internet and the backbone, everything will go dead. The ISPs are beholden to the Feds and the FCC - you think they would resist an order to shut down? The enemy ALWAYS shuts down radio and phone services in conquered countries.

Krazy Kamala Harris would be funnier than most stand-up comedians until one remembers that she is a heartbeat away from the Presidency of the United States and the control of thousands of nuclear weapons. This should give significant pause to anybody who wishes for Joe Biden to resign or be impeached.Krazy Kamala's latest stand-up comedy act was to equate the invasion of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, to the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941 and Al Qaida's terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.

Donald Trump unloaded a verbal broadside on Joe Biden on Friday, dismissing him as 'the voice of desperation and despair' in response to the president's attack on him a day earlier for inciting the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol. Trump accused Biden of 'slandering' his domestic opponents as 'terrorists' to distract from his own failures as president. 'What we witnessed yesterday was the last gasps of a corrupt and discredited left-wing political and media establishment that has, for decades, driven our country into the ground - shipping away our jobs, surrendering our strength, sacrificing our sovereignty, attacking our history and values,

In a representative government, the context and accuracy of history changing events is of the utmost importance to ensure that we as voting Americans truly understand what is happening around us.Tragically, over the past thirteen years, from the Obama administration, to the Trump administration, and continuing through the Biden years, it has become increasingly challenging to discern the truth from propaganda touted by our media and the political ruling class. January 6th 2021, was a horrible day in our history – a tragic, heart-breaking, insane, and yes, historically-paradigm shifting day for all of us.

New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik is torching House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the one-year anniversary of the incident at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

However, the facts they relied upon to make their case were flat-out wrong.Kagan began by claiming “the best way” to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is “for people to get vaccinated,” and the “second best way” is to “wear masks.” Neither claim is true.

Characteristic of his transformational tenure, Engler was endeavoring to further streamline the Michigan bureaucracy to provide more efficient and effective services, promote accountability within state government, and save taxpayers’ money. When the governor finished his convincing pitch for the Department of History, Arts, and Culture, I raised my hand: “Governor, you know the new department’s acronym will be hack (HAC)?”

The United States saw the widest gap in unemployment rates for African Americans and whites in years at the conclusion of the first year of Biden’s presidency, underscoring an uneven recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and the Biden administration’s failure to meet its promises to foster racial equity in the economy. The jobless rates for whites fell half a percentage point to 3.2 percent, while the rate for blacks rose from 6.7 percent to 7.1 percent, according to data released by the Labor Department on Friday. As a result, black unemployment is now more than twice the white unemployment rate. In fact, at 220 percent the white unemployment rate,
