The Night of the Tech Long Knives
American Thinker ^ | 10 Jan, 2021 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 01/10/2021 4:08:58 AM PST by MtnClimber

The Lords of Silicon Valley make their move.

In 1934 Hitler executed members of his paramilitary organization (the SA – Sturmabteilung or Storm Troopers) to consolidate his power, claiming it was to prevent a planned coup. In like fashion, using the incursion into the Capitol building, the Lords of Silicon Valley used this is a cover to muzzle those whose views with which they disagree.

Roger L. Simon details the events:

Not only has Donald Trump -- still the president of the United States -- been permanently banned from Twitter, its rapidly growing, open-to-all substitute Parler has almost simultaneously been de-platformed by Google.

You can’t get their app for Android anymore.

Apple threatens to be next, demanding Parler kowtow (by Saturday!) to Cupertino’s vision of what the world should be.

I suppose that’s a social-justicey-politically-correct totalitarianism led by left-leaning… or so they want us to believe… tech billionaires. [snip]

Josh Hawley’s forthcoming book… on Big Tech, no less… is “canceled” by Simon & Schuster. Senator Hawley had been among the most outspoken about investigating the possibility of election fraud.

Twitter permanently blocks General Flynn. I guess they don’t think he has had enough already.

If you aren’t using SDNS, you’re a fool. Search for and learn how to use DNScrypt NOW. It makes it impossible to determine your DNS queries. That does not mean they can’t track IP address pathing. That’s where VPN comes in.

VPN + TOR + DNScrypt means relative anonymity (for now).

“- - - how long before the Government itself finds a way to take Free Republic down?”

You have a good point, something I ponder too now that Biden is supposedly in charge.

But there is a greater issue at hand. It is a fact that anything digital is being monitored. Much can be done with computers. Snowden gave much insite into this.

The problem is many here, as with other forums, say things that can get them into trouble in a commie environment. It is well established that the media will take things out of context or actually edit something someone says to turn it around. So in this case an innocent comment could be made into a very anti-government statement.

My point is Free Republic being at risk is an issue, but the greater issues are its members being at risk. We here are at risk equal to Facebook or Twitter people that speak their minds.

Stage names like Nateman or Redfreedom do not shield our identities. A government agency or leftist hacker can figure out our names and addresses in a heartbeat.

It’s hard to say exactly what Biden/Harris will do. If they go hard left as expected, don’t be surprise if the worse happens, which would be some sort of purge of the 70 + million Americans that support Trump and the Founding Fathers.

The coup is over, the tech tyrants were accomplices, and our elected reps and senators did not care. Any elected official that did not push back on the coup or fraudulent election are accomplices. We’re close to reaching a point of no return. I’d say the point of no return is when they’ve neutered the 2A. At which point open violent tyranny against citizens, much the same way Hitler treated Jews, may actually start.

It’s becoming easy to compare America to Hitler’s or Stalin’s regimes. One point of comparison is military wise. They both had strong armies and flexed their muscle. What are we doing today? At what point will a leftist administration start to flex our muscle greater and in more areas? We’ve been at war for 20 years solid, which is more that WWI & WWII combined.

Where the democrats of 1860 failed the democrats of 2020 succeeded in overthrowing the United States.

That’s what happens when you place your fate in the hands of cowards and Republicans.

Give me liberty or give me death.

"As a guy who understands how the internet technically works, I can tell you that those easy to generate paths are only allowed if the people who control important levers on the internet allow you to."

Unfortunately correct. The only way to fight this beast is to starve it.

You can’t get their app for Android anymore.>>> You can use APKpure it looks like it is a installer for android apps.
I haven’t used it but you can install on your PC and deploy to you phone if you don’t want xapk on your phone. Hope it’s not chinese but it could be. Parler should just have an install from it’s website. All software should have their own install direct. When i use amazon i will go to the manufacturers website and order direct from them.

...Any bets

It looks like the left's planed response to the Trump rally was to have Antifa invade the Capital Building and try to inflame the Trump supporters to join them. This not only shut down debate about the Contested Election it also provided the left an excuse for a repressive crack down. Another poster mentioned a huge anti terrorism bill that was set aside as too repressive. That bill will be introduced and Filibustered. In response the RATs will kill the Filibuster and pass the bill.

I further predict the Supreme Court will strike down large sections of the bill. That in turn will give RATs the excuse to pack the courts. Which they will.

Well, the guy kinda lost me when he said at the 29:00 mark that the paper the states used for ballots was marked with “a non-radioactive isotope watermark” and our side can “GPS track every one of these ballots, anywhere on the planet”.

Umm...

Just in case Free Republic's servers "accidentally" get removed from the DNS system... Apparently the actual IP address is 45.79.56.181 so the web address would look like:

https://45.79.56.181/tag/*/index

You know, just in case. "Accidental" or not, once the error had been discovered and corrective action taken (might take a day or two) it could still take several days for the DNS update to propagate through all the DNS layers.

I’m sure I’ve been on their blacklist a long time. There’s also groups I’ve supported by credit card, like FR, NRA and Judicial Watch. And credit card purchases of things Marxists believe I should not have.

That ship sailed long ago...

That’s a defeatist attitude. Cover your tracks now and you can make the case you’ve been “rehabilitated.”
