Wow. This is truly stunning. We have linked to many articles at The Conservative Treehouse over the past four years, as they have done stellar work over there exposing the inner workings of the various coup d’etat efforts that have been run against President Trump during his first term in office.
Today, CTH says it is being de-platformed by its hosting provider, a move that is truly stunning, given how meticulous those guys are at properly sourcing and backing up their content. As CTH says, it’s hard to imagine that anything other than pure, raw politics is at play here.:
One week after the 2020 presidential election, The Conservative Treehouse received the following notification:
…”given the incompatibility between your site’s content and our terms, you need to find a new hosting provider and must migrate the site by Wednesday, December 2nd.
What does this mean? It means CTH is being kicked-off the WordPress website hosting platform because the content of our research and discussion does not align with the ideology of those who define what is acceptable speech and what is not.
What was our violation? After ten years of brutally honest discussion, opinion, deep research and crowdsourcing work -with undeniable citations on the events we outline- there is no cited violation of any term of service because CTH has never violated one.
The WordPress company is not explaining the reason for deplatforming because there is no justifiable reason for it. At the same time they are bold in their position. Perhaps this is the most alarming part; and everyone should pay attention. They don’t care.
Truthful assembly is now the risk. CTH is now too big; with a site reach of 500,000 to a million unique readers each day; and with well over 200,000 subscribers; our assembly too large, too influential, and presents a risk… we guard the flickering flame.
Ten years of work assembling a library of factual citations and explanations of those discoveries, positions CTH to be a leading force in the rebel alliance push-back. [Heck, that’s why this place was started… that was our purpose: “The Truth Has No Agenda.”] However, that also makes us a target; hence the deplatforming.
Accepting -at its core- this move is all about politics, this is yet another reference point in the tenuous nature of where we stand. There’s no hate-speech on this website; there’s no graphic, violent, foul or abusive speech here. The ‘content‘ of the Treehouse is the same discussion that happens around your kitchen table or back porch discussion with friends. We would never cheapen or insult that conversation with vulgarity because that’s not who we are… because that’s not who our nation is. So consider this next part very carefully…

Go read the rest, and remember: Big Brother is very real, and he is watching.
That is all.
Today’s news moves at a faster pace than ever. Whatfinger.com is the only real conservative alternative to Drudge, and deserves to become everyone’s go-to source for keeping up with all the latest events in real time.
Once is an accident.
Twice is a coincidence.
Thrice is enemy action.......................
No doubt. The question is who’s pulling the strings?

It could have been; there was something on the FR page about the move deadline being suddenly changed from May 15 to November 15.
But that’s because the data center FR was in was shutting down, and everybody there had to move.
I’ve never hosted WP on WP.com. Silly idea.
The setup’s simple enough (web server + MySQL instance) so use Azure, AWS, Not Google, a myriad of web host companies, and/or run your own server.
For something like the Treehouse or here regular backups and redundant fallback hosting would be wise.
Alex Jones may be a bit woo but there really is an information war. The enemies of freedom have and will continue to attack.
The stuck pig squeals the loudest.
The Left ALWAYS tells us of whom they are most afraid of..................
My brother, an IT consultant for many years, runs a web host on a computer in his home. It’s for his business but he’d do one for me if I wanted.
I don’t see the big deal about a web hoster. The former Conservative Treehouse hoster, WordPress is a place that makes it easy for simple people to created pretty websites.
Prettiness is not important in news communication. Needed are only text and imbedded pictures and videos. Freerepublic is a perfect example.
Does the site need the ability to post comments like Freerepublic has? It’s nice but getting out the truth is most important.
I’m wondering if FreeRepublic depends on machinery found in only the hosters that are inclined to pull the plug if they disagree with the content.
Maybe not, but sites like FreeRepublic should require only the simplest of hoster. Why can’t FreeRepublic be its own hoster? Then it could host other sites and, ha ha, kick out ones that it didn’t like.
The greatest fear is that big, big, big brother, the internet overseers, wouldn’t even let you have a fixed IP address which is required to have a server. Or they could refuse to give your host a name and users would have to know the IP address to use it (that’s the Dark Web).
Someone correct me if there are inaccuracies above.
Can Free Republic be far behind?...
Let me get this straight?
If you own a bakery and and some weirdo wants a queer porno cake, you WILL make it or else .
Under penalty of law.
But at a public website you can only post what is allowed by the owner?
Did he yell fire, in a theater?
Actually, it may be so.
Our home is on fire!
It just happened to FR yesterday.
Freerepublic is a perfect example.
Drudge was a better example, just present headlines as links. Of course they lost their mind then along came thelibertydaily.com which is an absolute copy of Drudge format as is protrumpnews.com.
None of those even come close to the format of FreeRepublic.com.
Some use discus or other methods of monitoring and commenting but nothing even come close to Jim's creation. Wish he would market it, maybe to Trump or some other friendly billionaire. Jim is old like me and Rush is in bad shape someone has to take the mantle or they will all die with us.
Thanks Jim for my daily sanity boost. I have never missed a day here except when you were down, since long before I signed in to comment.
They did a yeoman’s job on the ‘Chinese missile off the coast of California’ and ‘The Martin/Zimmerman encounter’ stories.
CTH is now officially gone. No web response.
In between servers...................
they are still up, i am on right now
FR has its own servers (remember FReepathons?). Blogs like TreeFort run by Mark "Sundress" Bradman depend on "free" platforms like WordPress that obviously aren't really free and then pimp their blogs here as clickbait on our dime as I pointed out yesterday to the consternation of several folks.
Bradman can get a job, pay for a platform, and post entire articles here (and donate like everybody else).
What would be the impact on FR if those servers also hosted Conservative Treehouse?Could the market bear that - on both sides?
Mailchimp has put out a statement saying “If you’re not PC, we will end your service.” That means this is a growing trend.
