....”Welcome to full Communist Chinese control of our internet and Social Media”.......

Global controls ahead and a world governing body will be created to enforce them.

Obama signed over control of the internet to an international body, dominated by Communist China... remember that.

I recall that but I thought it was in Finland or some Nordic group...perhaps Germany?

Wasn’t it this group?......The ICANN, a nonprofit organization composed of stakeholders from government organizations, members of private companies, and internet users from all over the world, now has direct control over the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), the body that manages the web’s domain name system (DNS).

Most people, unfortunately, don’t care.

Someone on Parler mentioned the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution in the Philippines. We need something similar.

We are armed, but they have bigger guns and are organized. Wonder what side most LEOs will fall? However, the old movie “Red Dawn” comes to mind.

It was ICANN. Now under UN/ Communist Chinese control.

The Internet Governance Coalition,...the global internet community, is who drafted the final proposal for ICANN to assume control.... ICANN a group of companies that includes Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Verizon.....

So the tech companies are now running a purge wit nobody to stop them .

Senator Cruz fought hard against this take over.....saying......”Imagine an internet run like many Middle Eastern countries that punish what they deem to be blasphemy,” Cruz said at a congressional hearing”Or imagine an internet run like China or Russia that punish and incarcerate those who engage in political dissent.”...
“When ICANN escapes from [US] government authority,” Cruz said, “ICANN escapes from having to worry about the First Amendment, from having to worry about protecting your rights or my rights.”

And here we are!

Right now, Big Tech controls the internet — a few companies have monopolies, or near-monopolies, on essential services such as search engines, shopping, and news. These corporations can set the base rules of the internet, despite occasional government intervention. With approximately 190 million users in the U.S., Facebook — a prime example of such a corporation — can potentially make up to $76 million from selling data on U.S. users. Even as more data privacy regulation is introduced and efforts are made to put consumers first, the motivation for these companies to change their business models or limit their data collection and sharing is understandably low. As Silicon Valley grows richer, regular users find themselves in a toxic data environment. Firms like Clearview AI and the discredited Cambridge Analytica abuse the information they acquire, making the world worse for all but a few stakeholders.

The next 12 days are critical for the preservation of our democracy.

Preserve democracy by silencing your opponents. That should work out well.

Well, people are revealing their true colors.

There’s been a lot of prayer that God would reveal the evil in our midst, and boy, has He ever.

The answers to prayer in that regard along with the answers to remove people from position who don’t belong there and replace them with more godly people have been answered by all appearances. What leaves me wondering is why, when it looks like the rest were answered, those of having President Trump get a second term, have not.

I would love to know God’s purposes in all this and what His plans are for the future, because answering some prayer in the way He has and not other is very puzzling.

Let’s hope so because now the future of our country is in the states hands.

We need to be hammering on our state reps to assert state’s rights and protect the people from the federal government overreach.

...West Virginia, stop electing this lying asshole.

You are still stuck in the past here. Elections are a fiction now. Just like the rule of law has become the Rule of RATs.

Eff Pure Democracy. The tyranny of the majority.

Yep and we were worried about outsiders.

The threat to the US are the Indian-run big tech companies.

“I’m all for a “recall” of Joe Manchin by WV people. How many signatures would it take?”

I already checked into this. West Virginia law = no recall of Federally Elected officials.

The first Joe Manchin steps over the line to help Republicans the Democrats will go after his daughter - the CEO of the company that raised epipen prices through the roof. The first time a Republican with a spine decides that Joe is never coming over that Republican will start talking about the scandal. It’s a beautiful thing.
