See you in the catacombs. We live in Orwell’s dark nightmare.

He was so prophetic and could see everything that's unfolding now.

Not officially. The hosting provider moved up a planned upgrade/ move to this weekend on short notice.

John worked miracles, as always, and got us back up in less than a day.

But FR is now much better prepared for a deplatforming, should one occur under Harris/Biden.

Our job is to make sure it is their blood being spilled.

It seemed like only yesterday when many conservatives were just fine with some “far right” sites getting banned. Were they really that ignorant of how totalitarian regimes start their path to control?

DDOS:

1.) Cloudways provides DDoS prevention at its networking core.

2.) Keep updated:
WordPress installation
WordPress themes
WordPress plugins
PHP version on the server
Apache version
MySQL version
OS version
Any other script or software that you use

3.) Install a security plugin such as WordFence

4.) Add the following code into your .htaccess file:
# START XML RPC BLOCKING
<Files xmlrpc.php>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Files>
# FINISH XML RPC BLOCKING

I'm beginning to think I should have included my Cloudways affiliate link.

We’ve, We’re, MeWe, Mailchimp , Blogger, Facebook, Twitter

Anyone speak english anymore?
We’ve, We’re have the strange characters 0000B099 in the post.
I assume We have and We are is what is meant.

Reminds me of this Nazi Germany era warning poem by Lutheran Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

First they came for the Socialists [Tea Party]
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists [legal gun owners]
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews [non-LEFTists]
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Its happening at the Conservative Tree House too. They have very strict rules there too, so its definitely all against conservatives. Wordpress’s faggot Obama butt licking suck ass is the reason.

Wordfence and updating are broader than DDOS although they are related. FR has custom DDOS which they do not reveal. My guess is they use automated iptables which is a feature in Wordfence which seems mainly manual, but can be scripted. Wordfence charges extra for country blocking and FR might do that as well (they can roll their own)

The core of the issue is what it takes to keep from being deplatformed. FR is ideal, all custom SW (no layers of insecure third party PHP), no reliance on external services that could be cut off. Wordfence may cut off access to their servers and it is not clear how that would affect the plugin's operation. You have to agree not to post "offensive" content as part of the terms of use.

I would certainly never recommend using Wordpress or anything like it for something like FR. It would be asking for trouble.

To: I want the USA back

Everything they published or posted will be scrutinized, going back 5 years, and the normal people will be further harassed.

"Going back 5 years"? Not hardly, their pursuit is lifetime whenever possible! Below is just a single but recent example where a 33yo article contained a 'sexist viewpoint' by a 29yo Navy pilot on a 'hot topic' of that time.

"Boeing communications boss Niel Golightly resigns over sexist article" 3 July 2020. The offense was his quote, as a USNavy Lieutenant (1987) against women in combat roles. “At issue is not whether women can fire M-60s, dogfight MiGs, or drive tanks, Golightly, then a US Navy lieutenant, wrote in a US Naval Institute magazine. Introducing women into combat would destroy the exclusively male intangibles of war fighting and the feminine images of what men fight for — peace, home, family.

You are not reaching millions of people now. These tech companies are rigging the game against you while stuffing you into a digital ghetto. You think you are competing on a level playing field while they work behind the scenes to throttle your reach.

This is exactly what happened to the Donald on Reddit. They were throttled until they got annoyed enough to create their own site. The original Reddit site then got banned, and now they are thriving better than ever at their new home.

If you are asking if the quote is accurate, I believe that it is and you can click on the link. Beyond that you will have to be a little clearer on what you are responding to here.

My post is that I am against anyone taking single instances from decades earlier to 'tar' the individual without showing a contemporary match of the same expression. I am not the same person that I was 33 years ago in all aspects and opinions. 33 years ago I believed that the Democratic Party still had sane people in office, now, not so much!
