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?

Free Republic isn't a threat. We're not converting anyone new here. This is a small conseervative forum where we're mostly preaching to the choir.

Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube were politically "neutral" forums where previously apolitical, "low info voters" people were getting red-pilled by conservative voices. That's where the threat was.

The internet is OK with us assembling in our unpopulated backwaters. They don't want us preaching to the masses on platforms where hundreds of millions of people have accounts. That's how Trump won.

“Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube...where...people were getting red-pilled by conservative voices. That’s where the threat was.”

Yes.

And from Google searches.

And from social gatherings like we used to do at restaurants, bars, weddings, funerals and public events.

Well, the guy kinda lost me when he said at the 29:00 mark

You made it to the 29:00 mark? I gave up in the first minute when he said he was going to talk fast, and then he said he was having friends over Sunday night.

“The anti-federalists were right.”

Underrated point.

Interesting: Firefox refuses the IP connection to Free Republic as a security risk.

If a tree falls in the forest and MSM and Social Media refuse to report on it, then it didn’t fall
*******
No matter how many people, homes, or lives are destroyed, it didn’t happen.

On the other hand, wasn’t it Sadam’s spokesman (the MSM in Iraq) that declared that no Americans were near Bagdad.

The hammer still fell. The trees still fall, whether reported or not.

I suspect many ISPs and access points will stifle or block FR.

Well I trust virtually NO news nowadays. I may read something in the “news” but I process and interpret every morsel they spit out to determine which is the event/incident that occurred and then form my own thought of what happened.

In a book Go My Son, the author who was trapped deep in stalins Russia during the German invasion, wrote that the little soviet press he did read never spoke of defeats or withdrawls by the red army, under the leadership of the greatest military genius of mankind—Marshall Stalin, yet he could read in between the lines when it would say that “Corporal Yegveny Grigorovich single handedly destroyed 3 tank crews in the defense of the city of Smolensk” that he could tell that the Germans were advancing well into Russia!
Read between the lines

But yes I looked up ACLU and Trump.
Remember, much of ACLU’s relevance and reason for being is to project the image of winning and changing the government. They helped build the same machine that is now going to make it more difficult to “mess” with the government.
And when theres no American civil liberties left to fight for...then theres no need for the “Union”

I always purchase direct from the manufacturers; everyone of them has a website if you know what your looking for.

Amazon doesn’t manufacture a damn thing, they just look it up and get it shipped for you (usually from CHINA), for a cut of the profit I am sure.

If you don’t know where to look just type in the part or item you want, you will get hundreds if not thousands of hits.

I want AMERICAN PARTS and ITEMS from AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS, NOT CHINK SHIT.

Pick a manufacturer, pay the damn shipping, get your item DIRECT.

CUT AMAZON OUT COMPLETELY!
