House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Sunday called for a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) investigation into Big Tech stifling the new social media platform Parler.
"The effect of this is there is no longer a free and open social media company or site for any American to get on anymore because these big companies – Apple, Amazon, Google – they likely destroyed what was likely a billion dollar company," Nunes explained to Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. "Poof. It's gone."
The congressman explained the concern is bigger than a company taking a financial hit.
"Republicans have no way to communicate.

Anyone else notice how all this lefty mass canceling and faux rage about 1/6 has pushed election integrity completely out of the news?

There is no justice left in the Justice Department and the FBI cannot be trusted to conduct an honest investigation of anything any more. Things are getting worse by the minute and there is no one to stop it !!! God help us !!

Okay, drop out of facebook, twitter, instagram, etc. That's the only way to do it. Let the democrats communicate on those tools.

And who will be running the DOJ to carry out this bold plan? Merrick Garland?

It's about controlling the information. Prior to the internet, the left had a monolpoly on the news information via the alphabet networks. They want their monolpoly back.

It's time to start using their own sites to get back at them, at least a little bit. For example, I posted on fakebook about how in New York they were throwing vaccine away. That's a big concern here in Florida. There's got to be tons of info the left doesn't want to get out, but they can't police everything that is posted.
Just my simple way of trying to help get the truth out. There's so many things that should be corrected, such as the claim that one cop may have been hit by a fire extinguisher, when it was a health problem he had.
At least someone will see my post and maybe start to think about what more we can do.

Nothing will happen to Big Tech. They are the censorship arm of the Democrats and the DOJ is the their law enforcement arm.

Nunes is a warrior who deserves the highest honor for getting back up and fighting, when he got knocked down over and over. Fighting even when he knew he would not win, but just to make a stand for what is right. This makes him one of my most respected congressional leaders (there are only about 10 on my short list).
I got off of instagram this week and encourage everyone to exit facebook and instagram and twitter.
What pushed me over the edge was not the political education that they attempted to give me, but their advertising and snooping.
This week I was talking to my friend on my iphone about a chemo drug she will be taking. I did NOT do a search, or type it in to my phone or computer in any way. But the next day, an ad popped up on my Instagram for that very cancer medication!!! That freaks me out because I have disabled siri on my phone and computer!
I will return to the old school method of maintaining relationships with people. Phone and email contact. I had fallen into the trap of thinking that by posting or "liking", I actually have contacted a friend.

The DOJ and the FBI? Fat chance they will even blink an eyelid in any effort to investigate anything. At this point, they are the law enforcement arm of the deep state.

Ask Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone, and Mike Flynn how well this investigation will turn out for Parler. Is there anyone out there besides me who can grasp what has happened the past four years and what is about to happen after January, 20?
(For Rio Lindans, an investigation by the FBI and DOJ that should help Parler will end up destroying Parler based on every. single. day. of the past four plus years]

I urge everyone to permanently delete all of their social media accounts at noon on January 20 and send a message. Join Parler and join the Great MAGA Party Revolution!

Parler has been removed from the internet by a consortium of Amazon, Apple and Google.
Don't believe me? Got to the Parler website where you cannot read all about it.

Just checked...Parler is down....this is what I got in return...
'This site can’t be reached parler.com’s server IP address could not be found.'
Pretty heady stuff if you can't even check an IP address...
Also checked 'whois' and that still works...
Apparently they got to 'dreamhost.com' which is their server....Evil lurks on the Internet...

Devin Nunes, bless his heart. He still thinks the DOJ, and FBI are American agencies. I love Nunes because he is a rarity in California. I'd love to see the Three Stooges get back together; they could put a stop to this game Washington elites are playing. /s

I'm seeing that Parler is not so confident now about returning. Vendors and their legal counsel are deserting them, too. The Left's totalitarian seizure of control is well underway. Anyone know of another platform to try?

Huh? Calling on the FBI and Department of Injustice to launch an investigation against their Lord and Masters of the Social Media and the communist death democrats? Not ever gonna happen. Quit wasting our time and your breath Congressman Nunes\, who by the way is a lone voice of Truth and Patriotism calling out in the totalitarian wilderness of what our country is becoming.
Expect no help from the Department of Injustice and their jackboots in the FBI.

Nunes should not even have had to call on this (and I doubt if anything will happen when he does: anyone at the top in any of these departments would love to be kept on, so where is the incentive) and I have to tell you the virtue posturing of Bill Barr, a man I used to respect (and when the Biden mess was evident way last May yet) and Durham, who would rather pat themselves on the respective backs and say how thorough and letter of the law they are, and then watch the whole thing disappear under Biden....does anyone REALLY think there will be a fair investigation when those investigated are big time Dems and/or the son the the to be President?????). In any HONEST government this would have been investigated, every bit of it from fraud in the election (so far Peter Novarro ON HIS OWN has looked into it via alga rhythms and everything else and found honesty in the major swing states totally dubious mathematically) to who the people actually were/are who stormed the capitol while 98% of the Republicans stayed outside peacefully, as they have always done and as Trump asked them to do. THAT'S why there weren't enough police : there has NEVER been an issue with Republicans. Don't even ask about the Courts and Supreme Court on anything---they also preen and virtue signal rather than take one the hard job and now we have a country on the verge of total division!

I just read this morning that the entire Parler site got leaked. Everything. Our driver licenses, profiles, every word and image that we posted. Amazon is not a friend, and that's one hell of an understatement.
That said, these are dangerous times and I thank Ldot for moderating this forum so that we can express ourselves but it doesn't get too heated. I mean, if you checked out Parler... there was definitely some stuff posted that would not and should not be posted here.

Expect Wray and Garland to take a knee on this idea. The Democrats will censure Nunes, put him back under investigation, and force him off the intelligence committee.

Nunes is, of course, exactly right. But, the FBI is controlled by the leftist cabal who has taken over the bureaucracies, and nothing will be done to interfere with the suppression of patriots.
You thought Lois Lerner was a fluke. HAH! She just represented the tip of the iceberg.

For those who still have accounts on Facebook or Twitter, see how smart the algorithms actually are. Play with the words and context. Today "COVID" is "Measles" or "Warts" or "Chicken Pox", or even "Pickles". "Voting Fraud" is "Baking Flour". Humans are smart enough to decode twists in language easily. Let's see how good machines are. By the time they figure out one twist, try another.

Ho-hum. Another call for action that never gets done. FBI, DOJ, CIA are all pretty much worthless.

Here's the deal with social media companies and why just a few have dominance. 1) New social media companies have a chicken-and-egg problem. People won't join unless their friends are there. So how does one get started? Facebook started by localizing to just the Harvard Campus. Then grew to other college campuses. That's how they solved their chicken and egg problem. 2) Big Tech will buy out their smaller competitors. Facebook paid $19 billion for WhatsApp. What founder would refuse such coin? 3) They steal ideas from the competitors that refuse to sell. Case in point: SnapChat 4) They conspire to put competitors out of business by slamming them all at once. Google Play, iOS App Store, and AWS hit parler all at once. Gab managed when they were taken off-line in 2018. 5) Army of lobbyists to ensure nothing is ever done. Everyone of these needs to be addressed to break from BigTech.
