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.

The control over what a majority of citizens know has been nearly completed. Internally they have meetings discussing how they will control how people think in order to change society. You can see it happening if you watch. This is how the “Cancel Culture” works.

The beautiful thing about the Internet is that alternative paths are easy to generate. Big Tech is cutting its own throat. I do wonder ; however ; how long before the Government itself finds a way to take Free Republic down?

If a tree falls in the forest and MSM and Social Media refuse to report on it, then it didn’t fall

The first rule of any revolution is to seize control of the media and thus the narrative.....First, it was getting control of the papers, then radio stations, then Television.....

The left got those without a shot fired or really objection other than some whining from some.....

But in today’s technology, that wasn’t enough since as noted many times, most people are getting their news and sharing thoughts on digital platforms.....

Seizing control of the digital world is the earnest beginning of the “Great Reset”......

Add that Amazon stopped their cloud service to Parler.

Buzzfeed: Amazon is booting Parler off AWS, its web hosting service, knocking the pro-Trump social network offline

DNS control, which Obama gave away, was the start.

D’rats will soon track visits to subversive (right-wing/Christian/2A) sites and share that data with businesses, schools, banks, insurance and medical institutions.

D’rats will then enact anti-subversive laws to blacklist sites they consider subversive.

Any bets?

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. I won’t go into details but these technical details is why the government of Iran can ‘turn off’ the internet at will.

At what point do the tech tyrants become accomplices in a coup?

These guys get it. From Italy, but hopefully a link to the English version. If not, fire up a translator. Very worth the read...

From online meetings "forced" to the Trump case: this is how the 5 giants of the web have increased wealth and power. “Now they count more than the states”. Here are scenarios and effects

Was similar when Gutenburg invented the printing press.

Powers that be act in ways that are part of human nature. The people in government are generally inclined to absolute control. The anti-federalists were right. Make a strong federal government, and it will destroy liberty.

Yep. There are certain hardware and software choke points that are near 100% efective.

The technology companies are in bed with the government. It’s how 100% of the data flow is accessible at all times to those in government. We are no different from China or Iran that way. Monitored and if need be (government’s decision on “need”), confronted with deady force.

“At what point do the tech tyrants become accomplices in a coup?”

Since 2016, when they became accomplices and collusionists in the coup against PDJT.

When they actively and purposely censored pro-Trump speech on the web.

When they actively and purposely pushed anti-Trump ‘news’ and ads onto various websites.

When they actively and purposely steered web searches away from pro-Trump information.

When they actively and purposely disabled pro-Trump users and censored or deleted postings at social media sites.

When they actively and purposely de-monetized pro-Trump sites, blogs and videos.

When they actively and purposely hid Hunter Biden truths on 2020.

What do you suppose really happened when Google and others went offline globally for a while several weeks ago?

I’ve seen no explanation yet.

Next step, wrong think arrests and reeducation camps. It’s going to get ugly real fast. Patriots are going to have to adapt to non internet forms of communications real quick. Pirate radio comes to mind.
