This is a dangerous precedent that can be used against any ideology, left or right
Across the board in what appears to be a highly-coordinated effort to silence the message behind Infowars and Alex Jones, most major social media, backbone utilities associated with our web site and video platforms have launched unprecedented account bans and suspensions on virtually all of our channels.
Regardless of what you think of me, and what you have heard indirectly through third-party sources, you are clearly witnessing a 21st century purge of an ideology.
And even if you don’t agree with our message that everyone should exercise their right to question the status quo, you should be very concerned about what’s happening.
Because this ideology that is now under attack is the same ideology that played a pivotal role in founding this great nation: challenging the establishment systems with independent ideas that encourage new debates and discussions.
For more than a year, we have witnessed the mainstream news media and Democratic groups tell us that the manipulation of social media could turn an election.
By their own admission, social media would be the most viable option to alter the course of the nation, influence millions of people, and shut down free speech and personal expression that questions the status quo.
We have been told that one of the greatest threats to our democracy is the manipulation of the information that we receive on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
Now, these same groups that have been telling us that free speech must be defended against those who seek to control it on our news feeds, have launched a full-scale war on the free speech and information that they disagree with.
There is no question that large social media companies have become the nation’s premiere source of information, referring hundreds of millions to news and information.
Although these groups are private entities, their scale has achieved them a monopoly on the free flow of information.
Much like the FCC rules that the airwaves and cable should be equally accessible to all in the public trust, these modes of communication should be equally open to the same access, and not subject to control by those who may choose to disagree with the information itself. Is a different opinion enough to silence an entire ideology?
I do not claim to always be right. But the accusations leveled at me are distortions of the truth and have been used systematically to impeach my character.
But this coordinated action by the establishment to silence me has only awakened a new resolve in those who now see more clearly than ever how the establishment systems will go to any length to shut down free speech and information that questions the status quo.
This is a turning point for our nation. Will you rally behind the principles of free speech, or will you concede to having your ability to access new ideas and information restricted and controlled by those who believe you cannot think for yourself?
If we allow this level of censorship to continue, how long before it becomes normalized?
How long before it’s not Alex Jones and Infowars being shut down on major platforms, but any ideology that disagrees with the establishment status quo? We must rally behind the principles that founded this great nation, and not allow deep censorship to become normalized and accepted.
Which movies are these?
I have never seen them.
The *A Thief in the Night* series.
Back in the mid 70’s.
The world will celebrate the Rapture with a new holiday. They will rejoice!
The day the crazies and backwards thinking misfits were finally taken to their re-education camps by aliens (or whoever).
Keep looking up!
wow!
Thanks! Need to see it.
Great video. Thanks
RE Jones:
I always liked the guy. Yeah, he’s a little over the top sometimes... a lot of times, actually .... but basically he’s on our side of things.
Loves his Country, and wants it to be fixed. Like the rest of us.
Thanks Jim. This proves again what a clear thinking patriot you are. Alex has 20 years of standing up and sounding alarms. He has made mistakes, but to cen8him or burning him at tge stake is 1984ish.
Let’s not be next.
Surely they will start going after Democratic Underground, Daily KOS, Young Turks, etc.etc.etc.
It’s almost hilarious how he is pretty much vindicated since he predicted this was coming for years.
Breaking #TechCensorship News:
The Purge is escalating fast -
A hosting provider now has power to takedown a private company over an offensive comment made a month ago?!
Microsoft is shutting down the entire GAB.AI site within 48 hours unless two offensive posts are deleted.
*gab.ai is a free speech alternative to twitter.com, and is hosted on Microsoft Azure cloud services.

Gab.ai administrator Alex Torba 08/09/2018 10:00
“Gab’s hosting provider, Microsoft Azure, has given us 48 hours to take action on two posts, or they will pull our service and Gab will go down for weeks/months.”
BTW, bitchute reaches out to Gab.ai to offer to host it.

Alex’s accuracy is tops across the news spectrum.
If you find him in error, it will usually be because he didn’t go far enough.
Check with Matt Braken (Travis McGee) on that.

There are STILL four lights...
This would be very important to look into, In fact... The fact that a Saudi Prince is the second largest share holder of Twitter... it could be considered an issue of national security...
Somehow we are missing the true hit points in this...
This one is hilarious
That he turned that whole negative compilation a few months ago in to a positive shows good character. His platform really is the tip of the iceberg. It's a serious warning sign.

>> “ My real pet peeve is not so much his rants but how he talks over his guests.” <<
You and I are in agreement on that, as I have in the past posted. Particularly when Matt is his guest.
Hannity is worse though.
Makes the decision to keep your servers under local control sound good. Plus no advertising. Might not be long before most conservative sites are shut down for the same reason.
Thank you, Mr. Robinson.
