First they came for the TEA party, but these guys weren’t TEA party....

Then Jeff Sessions let Lerner skate on the exact same grounds Comey pled to let HRC skate.

It’s hard to see any of this leftist insanity ending without a war.

He is absolutely right.

The First Amendment will be DEAD unless one of the following two things happen, and quickly.

1) Congress steps in and enforces TRUE “net neutrality” by regulating these companies and preventing them from censoring internet speech (not likely as too many in the GOP are invested in The Swamp winning its battle with Trump)

2) Some Conservative alternatives to these portals and sites (which are currently nowhere on the horizon) get launched QUICKLY and grow very RAPIDLY.

Why the latter is not already underway confounds me. I’ve been able to see for a decade that this was where the Silicon Valley Left was headed. They’ve honed their tactics supporting the Great Firewall in China.

Internet censorship is a direct attack on the First Amendment. Either we are a free people or we are an enslaved people. GOOGLE is a slave master.
After hundreds of calls on a daily basis from Google, I finally lost it. I told the caller, “I hate Google. Google is un American. Its politics are in violation of everything I stand for. I am harassed every day by Google. Get off my internet Google.”

Brilliant analogy. Remember when David Plouffe said something to the effect that “ we must never let his kind rise again”, referring to Trumps popularity. And i think that was might have beenbefore he won.

They know they have to shut us down. Will we stand for it?

That last confab in Davos a month or so ago was all about THIS.

I wonder how many censors FB has.

Sidebar: When thinking of the Reichstag fire the name Marinus van der Lubbe popped into my mind, then a Freak Brothers strip that used his name. Giggle fit resulted. Does anybody remember that strip other than this old acid head?

Yep, we, the people, are in an all-out war for this country, except that so many of US are in some form of delusion about it and seem to be sleeping obliviously through our reality, believing it is something else.

Fortunately, many are waking up to how it’s the same now as with another war in our history or, more specifically, the same as our un-Civil war, but without the mass killing (other than the unborn and citizens of major demonrat controlled cities and states, of course) and without breaking things (other than the human spirit, JudeoChristian faith and ethics, the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution).

Understand fully, that if it were not for our electing Donald J. Trump, this quietly cold war would now be over and our surrender and the green light for our terminal subjugation would be a done deal.

I forget, how many of US did Bill Ayers say would have to die first so that “they” could have their utopia?

I believe he was serious and was expressing a common belief, and that “they” have a few false flag operations planned to set that in motion.

When seen in that light, or rather by their light, do you think killing a few kids at some random high school in order to get gun control and disarm their enemies would really be such a problem?

I don’t. Humans can and do justify any act or behavior, especially if they are ruled by the deceiver.

If you remove conscience and morality, a human is truly capable of anything, no matter how heinous or evil it might be, and all the while feeling righteously justified!

To: Travis McGee; All

Matt, thanks for telling us what’s just happened, again.

Censorship campaign of conservatives is an existential threat to our free republic.

Have you and fellow Special forces discussed where you think this is going and when?
ie: flash point flash crash FF event?

It seems that tempo is increasing.

What can we do to stem the tide?

Thank you and please continue to keep the faith, sir.

Here is the thing...YouTube, FaceBook, et al may come right out and say (This is theoretical, they DIDN'T actually SAY this):

"Yes, we were trying to get rid of 'fake news'by shaping our results, and we didn't do that right, and in our zeal to do right, treated our conservative customers unfairly and poorly. We are changing that, and we apologize."

But...they are still shaping their search results and links. They are trying to make it less obvious, but to anyone who pays attention (especially on Google searches) the fact that they massage and manipulate their query results to present to end users means...

They are still massaging and manipulating their results. And leopards don't change their spots. They are trying to find the 'line' that separates noticeable censorship/manipulation from "I didn't find what I was looking for" and get right up to that as close as possible without us knowing it.

In my opinion, a system that you type a query into that has non-voluntary (and unknown) filters applied to it is exactly the same as a gallon of the purest, ultrafiltered, distilled and deionized H2O with a single drop of sewage water in it is not a gallon of the purest, ultrafiltered, distilled and deionized H2O...it is A gallon of Sewage.

I’m not surprised. That is a very shady looking character there!

it was a reference from the character Freewheelin' Franklin about the Marinus van der Lubbe International Firebombing Society.

All humor aside, and you know this far better than us, it has been ongoing for quite a while.

People like Colin Flaherty, Bill Whittle; Dan Bongino, and dozens of others who are at the forefront and vocal, wake up, logon, and get the same message you did.
