I was never a subscriber on Twatter. In fact, the only times I ever saw a Twatter comment was when it was re-posted here on FR.

We don’t need to do anything TO the left; all we need to do is keep certain resources FROM them.

Yes I saw that. The General’s Parlor account is still up, but how long will Parlor be up? Once it is designated a haven for “Right-Wing Extremists”?
My Prediction, as I said in a thread elsewhere, the first act of either Biden and Congress will be to pass a law or write an EO designating certain SPEECH as domestic terrorism. An unbelievable amount of pressure will be brought to bear on hosts, ISP’s and carriers to drop outlets like Parlor and even FR. The Media, Corporations, and Financial Institutions aligned with the left will see to this. We have literally seen this done with sites like Stormfront. Before you say “well yeah, those guys were Nazis, consider how many times over the past three days you have seen Trump Supporters used in conjunction with the words Terrorists and Insurrectionists. Last Night CNN rolled a list of names they labeled as Trump’s supporters and enablers to “The Deadly Insurrection on The Capitol.
The Communists will never get another opportunity like this again, and they will not let it go to waste. And the GOP will sign-off on NEARLY anything they want for fear of being branded enablers of this new “terror movement”.

Extreme control efforts are a reaction to extreme fear. If the left-wing political elements who control most social media platforms were not fearful they would not be taking such aggressive action. Today Brandon Straka announces his #WalkAway group has been removed from Facebook and deplatformed.
(link)
The “Walk Away” movement was an organization of voices of former Democrats who turned away from the extreme leftist moves by the democrat party. The group was supportive of President Trump and the populist ‘America First’ message.
This move comes after Joe Biden called President Trump supporters “domestic terrorists” and announced his administration’s intent to target those voices as members of an insurrection against his administration. An alarming move to a totalitarian state where dissenting voices must be silenced and removed.
[Wall Street Journal] “Don’t dare call them protesters,” Mr. Biden said in remarks from Wilmington, Del. “They were a riotous mob. Insurrectionists. Domestic terrorists. It’s that basic. It’s that simple.”
Mr. Biden blamed President Trump for inciting the violence, saying he had “unleashed an all-out assault on our institutions of democracy.” The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
[…] Mr. Biden has said he plans to make a priority of passing a law against domestic terrorism, and he has been urged to create a White House post overseeing the fight against ideologically inspired violent extremists and increasing funding to combat them. (read more)
Additionally, there is currently a massive “pro-Trump” purge happening on Twitter. They even banned Tech Fog, a CTH friend who was never controversial, always careful, and only posted court documents highlighting legal cases involving corruption.
Axios– Reddit has banned the subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump,” a spokesperson confirmed to Axios.
Why it matters: While not an official group or page hosted by the president, it’s one of the company’s largest political communities dedicated to support for President Trump.
What they’re saying: “Reddit’s site-wide policies prohibit content that promotes hate, or encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence against groups of people or individuals. In accordance with this, we have been proactively reaching out to moderators to remind them of our policies and to offer support or resources as needed,” a spokesperson tells Axios.
- “We have also taken action to ban the community r/donaldtrump given repeated policy violations in recent days regarding the violence at the U.S. Capitol.”
The big picture: It’s the latest in a string of platforms to take action against Trump’s accounts following the historic pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. (LINK)
The massive deplatforming and removal is unprecedented in scale. The movement by WordPress/Automattic to deplatform CTH shocked many in the media when it happened to us the week after the election.
In the aftermath of CTH being deplatformed we received many notifications of support and shocked messages from inside the tech industry. In recent days those same voices have signaled that CTH was likely a coordinated first-strike that previewed this post election wave to shut down voices of dissent.
These are remarkable times. Stand strong in fellowship… now people are starting to realize why CTH strongly advocated for unity of assembly in the last six months.
There are more of us than them. The Big Tech oligarchs who control the system are trying to shut down communication amid the dissenting voices that demand liberty and freedom. This is a strategic effort in the battle for our nation.
Stand strong!
More to come….
They are not trying to silence Donald Trump, they are attempting to silence all American voices of dissent. That's the scale of the 2020 election controversy.
JUST IN: Former first lady Michelle Obama calls on tech companies to permanently ban President Trump from their platforms and put policies in place “to prevent their technology from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection.”

Facebook officially silences the President of the United States. For better or worse, this will be remembered as a turning point in the battle for control over digital speech.

Yes and yes, so if you have any other means of communication, use it. Even if it means something has to be bounced off overseas.

I have always said that the hot civil war may start with civilians but it will end as a struggle between the military units.

We really have to get this idea moving from talk to action. I have no connections to the trucking industry, or the railroads, but I believe this is the first step that we must take.
The left can dance around, celebrating and denying conservatives access to immaterial, frivolous sh!t like Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, but we can literally starve them out. If “deplorables” stick together in a united, determined front, we can put the screws to the left in ways they can’t even imagine.
The left produces nothing of real importance. They live in a metrosexual, “woke” fantasyland, and are completely delusional about their importance in the world. They can’t even survive if left to rely upon themselves. THAT’s THEIR ACHILLES HEEL.
We need to immediately start building networks so that those on our side who we may ask to step away and refuse to provide products to the left can still support themselves if it interrupts their income. Those of us with greater means should help to support this war effort, and that’s exactly what it is. Things seem dark right now, but we can end this pretty quickly if we have the guts and determination to put pressure on these idiots where they are most vulnerable.
They’ve started this by refusing to provide their products to us, let’s see how they like it when we refuse to provide what we produce to them. I think they might get their “minds right” after they’ve spent some time hungry and freezing in the dark.
