While Violent Dictators Are Allowed To Remain, Big Tech Bans President, Parler, And Purges Countless Conservative Voices

OPINION | This article contains political commentary which reflects the author's opinion.


Today I watched as my First Amendment right to free speech went up in flames. It came in the wake of the violence that occurred at the U.S. Capitol building.

Facebook and Instagram both banned the President of the United States for “at least” the rest of his presidency. Twitter permanently banned the President of the United State. Here are their reasons for the decision. But it wasn’t just the President who was banned. Countless accounts have been removed or suspended in a massive purge of conservative voices.

Additionally, literally millions of accounts suddenly found that they were suddenly unfollowing conservative voices, who are losing tens of thousands of followers over the course of several hours.

So many of those thousands of Americans who value their right to freedom of speech headed over to Parler. But Big Tech couldn’t allow that. Not only will they decide what you are allowed to see on certain platforms, but they will also inhibit your ability to see things on other platforms as well.

Then Google announced that Parler, the free speech alternative to the heavily censored Twitter, has been banned from the Google Play Store. Google has decided that Parler does not moderate its content the way Google would prefer, so the app simply won’t be available.

Additionally, Apple threatened to ban Parler from the Apple App Store if they do not make changes to their moderation practices. What kind of moderations? Well, Apple has to approve of them, so pretty much like Twitter I’d guess.

Here’s the kicker. While Google and Apple say that Parler is an “ongoing and urgent public safety threat” for promoting freedom of speech,  countless prominent and dangerous figures are allowed to remain on the site and actively promote violence.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, violent dictator of Iran is allowed to openly call for the destruction of Israel and the death of Americans. He’s not banned for “inciting violence.”

How about the Chinese Communist Party officials and propagandists who are directly responsible for and actively promote modern day slavery and the hostile overthrow of free nations? They aren’t banned for “inciting violence.”

Should be clear evidence that we are no longer dealing with liberal democrats.

We are dealing with something much worse...

And what they do to their people is horrible!

Ask any north Korean refugee.

Or any Chinese dissident.

Looks like the warning that “You won’t recognize the US after 4 years of Biden” is proving true.

They are adopting the Chinese system that every expression of speech must clear the Party censors.

Not only are the banning Trump, his people and any conservative with a voice - these are clearly coordinated among all the tech platforms.

The USA now has a soviet ministry of information.

This is a very, very bad sign

Facebook, Twitter and these others have committed suicide.

There is a penalty for aiding and abetting treason.

THEY have proven that THEY don’t believe in Free Speech.

The will deserve what is coming.

History repeats it’s self. We are witnessing the year starting in 1935. The purging that lead to world war 2. Next the burning of books, the breaking down of doors at night, dragging off of people, reeducation camps, slave labors. Could go now but will stop here. The Nation is divided and is decaying! I weep for it!!

They are the ones giving Twitter, Facebook and Google their marching orders. The CCP is likely coordinating the entire thing.
