One Day Soon, You'll Wake Up to Find Your Favorite Website Has Vanished

Joe Biden’s White House is saying the quiet part out loud now. Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted last week that, in an effort to crack down on COVID-19 “misinformation,” the Biden administration has been sending Facebook lists of topics they want to be censored. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. Throughout the pandemic, we’ve seen aggressive, unprecedented efforts by Big-Tech giants and their Democrat partners to silence anything that goes against the Official Narrative—whether it’s information on masking, treatments like ivermectin, the efficacy and safety of vaccines, or the election. Our overlords in the COVID-MSM Government-Industrial Complex have used the pandemic as a weapon to bludgeon Trump and disparage his supporters. They’ve put the health of millions of Americans at risk by politicizing the pandemic and only allowing us to see information approved by politicized bureaucrats and their flacks in the left-wing media. One of the main reasons we launched our VIP subscription program a little over a year ago was so we could bypass the censors and tell the truth about topics that the social media giants and left-wing politicians have declared verboten.

“I did get a set of walkie-talkies, went through all the channels and didn’t hear any activity.”

We got CBs and hear nothing. And we’re in eyesight of a major interstate (there goes Little Debbie to Walmart). Do truckers use CBs any more?

Being self hosted definitely helps. Beyond that, this site does have to travel across other servers to get to us and there is a company somewhere that can shut down the domain name. I suppose the IP could still be used. Then again, it could be blocked on various servers pretty easily. The path from our browsers to the Robinson’s web server is far from being as the crow flies aka a direct connection.

Too bad ham radio is so complex and equipment fairly expensive when it comes to a reliable signal from one corner of the country to the other.

There are other internet communication techniques aside from a central website/target but they’re techie.

Sure...there’s pilot projects before full roll out! They wouldn’t be talking like this unless they knew they were close.

“The common good”

When I hear that it triggers thoughts that we need to be prepared to remove the common.

“For the most part, CB radios remain in use because they are the norm for truckers who have been working in the industry for the last 10 or 20+ years. While some truckers have resorted to using trucking apps on smartphones to communicate, more advanced radio systems offer a more ideal route.Jan 24, 2019”

.......

Not sure what “more advanced radio systems” is referring to.

Didn’t take long... They’ve (yahoo as an example) updated many comments section with the following verbiage:

“Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting”

If you want to take advantage of SEO and search engines to increase participation and revenue, you need a TLD domain name registered though ICANN. And I can tell you right now that Google “owns” ICANN.

I can share the email exchange I had with ICANN about why their own site will not even fully function unless all the 3rd party Google API connections are turned on. Which means Google is sneaking in on Domain name searches and then claiming them as their own original idea and grabbing them.

Conflict of interest in the very worst way for sure there... In no way should Google have anything at all to do with the ICANN site or governance. But they do...

This is where they have that very last word in domain up, or domain down control Boss... Just something to consider with the new environment we are in now. ICANN can make or break you as you know it now. They have the only loop hole that can screw this place.

And if ordered to they will...

Make it a closed party and you are legally protected by commercial law as a private organization... And so are the members here. At some point the members should come first?

It’s like “public housing ownership” - if everyone owns it, nobody owns it and it gets trashed.

So “the common good” - if it’s good for everyone, it’s good for none and rights get trashed.

But if ICANN shuts down your right to use your domain name as a top level Domain you are screwed. You will be done.

When have they done that?

Smoke signals... And even if you encrypt them they will decrypt those. This situation needs to be addressed from the top down and shut down like right now...

every single step will be made more difficult and expensive for you

Every single step of owning and publishing on the internet has become easier and cheaper. You can host unlimited domains for $5 / month and the domains can cost as little as $5 a year. The software to set up the hosting is all free and easy to install and maintain.

They do it all the time. Based on enough “complaints” and investigations to challenge the domain name. Think the U.S. government and Google do not have the power to make his happen?

Go read.... Been there...

In other words, building a community that does not utilize traditional DNS or uses it untraditionally.

The only DNS censorship I have heard of was a couple of ham-handed ISPs and they quickly reversed course.

I have a huge selection of “bookmarks”. When I need one I often find a “404 page not found” when I go there.

Bummer.

Hey... On our site we proposed a “Patriot channel 1 project”. Everyone needs to get a CB and connect on channel 1. Even old yard sale $5 23 channel CBs will work fine. Let’s start a network! I am all ready all in and waiting for others. :)
