Vanity: What happens when the phone companies block conservatives from the internet?
Myself | January 8, 2021 | Myself

Posted on 01/08/2021 5:53:56 AM PST by littleharbour

Now that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., have made it clear they will deny access to their social media monopolies because of personal political beliefs, what will stop the phone/internet companies from denying access to basic phone, internet and cell service. This would result in the shutdown of Free Republic, Parler, OANN, RSBN, Newsmax, etc. And what would stop the banks and mortgage companies from denying access to their services?

With no means of collective communication, and imposition of severe financial consequences on individuals, how would it be possible to have any form of resistance against the media/uniparty/big tech/big corporate/deep state dictatorship?

This may not all happen tomorrow, but this is exactly what the leftists want. And the shutting down of the President's social media links proves that it is possible. Comments welcome.

A man with nothing left to lose is a very dangerous person.

The November election was riddled with fraud, but the runoffs were squeaky clean. Right.

“The November election was riddled with fraud, but the runoffs were squeaky clean. Right.”

Not quite...but that’s easy AFTER the election, but the question that I ask on other threads is why was Trump there the day before the election? I’m still waiting for an answer other than ‘Trump’s an idiot’ for thinking it was winnable.

Isn’t it technically possible to make your own internet? It probably would end up being like the old Soviet samizdat newsletters where things were copied and passed along city to city, but it would be challenging to stop given the level of widespread computer knowledge.

What happens when they make it legal to kill newborn babies?
Does the populace rise up in wrath and make the needed correction? How about when they close your business and order you to stay in your house because of a flu that nearly everyone survives?

Well, I tried to warn FReepers about Trump’s SCOTUS nominees. I hope the “God bless PDJT for KEEPING his campaign pledge to give us pro life originalists in the Scalia mold!” are happy with themselves, they’re stuck with those judges for the next several decades.

Could be a good thing, It would force us to communicate face to face. No footprints...

Starlink - it is now provisionally operational. It should go fully live this Spring. It may cost about 100/month but no more comcast, ATT, phone company. A 16 inch diameter dish is needed but those are doable.

And from the sounds of things - Elon Musk could be a real John Galt. No one can force him to censor users on the Starlink system.

Its not enough to "pull the plug" when I am suporting Comcast (NBC) - when Stalink is available goes live I am cancelling Comcast altogether.

The first step in solving a problem is to acknowledge that the problem exists.

Thus, excellent post.

With that said, our opponent cannot afford to loose or limit the internet - meaning until an EMP pulse or solar flare, there will still be a network out there. So at least we’ll have a platform to work from.

I see good ideas coming in - which is better that “the sky is falling” posts.

Note: if they start cancelling bank accounts, the country will going into default. Remember: Those 75 million+ are the producers and taxpayers. Without us...

... you get the picture.

You can bet it would take no longer than an hour to have the banks of the world calling for instant action to have USPDJT given an 8 year continuing Presidential win.

If 70+ million pulled the plug the NWO would start eating their own to keep the money flowing.

Not a pipe dream... Just economic tactical warfare.
