JANUARY 8, 2021 By Jordan Davidson In big tech’s most recent censorship sweep on Friday, Twitter permanently suspended the accounts of former national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, claiming they violated the platform’s policies against harmful activity.
“The accounts have been suspended in line with our policy on Coordinated Harmful Activity,” a Twitter spokesman told NBC News. “We’ve been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behavior that has the potential to lead to offline harm, and given the renewed potential for violence

They’re trying to Nixon him.
The worthless Republicans sent Goldwater over to coerce Nixon into resigning, which meant he would he could not come back like he did in ‘68 after the Big Steal in 1960.
Same play.

Yup. A breakup sure tamed Ma Bell’s excesses, but it doesn’t happen by itself.

Might just be my firewall but Parler is currently unreachable.
The Big Purge appears to be underway.

Thanks for the article! I sure hope President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and saves our nation. I only worry that there isn’t enough room in the jails to hold them all.

Extreme control efforts are a reaction to extreme fear. If the left-wing political elements who control most social media platforms were not fearful they would not be taking such aggressive action. Today Brandon Straka announces his #WalkAway group has been removed from Facebook and deplatformed.
(link)
The “Walk Away” movement was an organization of voices of former Democrats who turned away from the extreme leftist moves by the democrat party. The group was supportive of President Trump and the populist ‘America First’ message.
This move comes after Joe Biden called President Trump supporters “domestic terrorists” and announced his administration’s intent to target those voices as members of an insurrection against his administration. An alarming move to a totalitarian state where dissenting voices must be silenced and removed.
[Wall Street Journal] “Don’t dare call them protesters,” Mr. Biden said in remarks from Wilmington, Del. “They were a riotous mob. Insurrectionists. Domestic terrorists. It’s that basic. It’s that simple.”
Mr. Biden blamed President Trump for inciting the violence, saying he had “unleashed an all-out assault on our institutions of democracy.” The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
[…] Mr. Biden has said he plans to make a priority of passing a law against domestic terrorism, and he has been urged to create a White House post overseeing the fight against ideologically inspired violent extremists and increasing funding to combat them. (read more)
Additionally, there is currently a massive “pro-Trump” purge happening on Twitter. They even banned Tech Fog, a CTH friend who was never controversial, always careful, and only posted court documents highlighting legal cases involving corruption.
Axios– Reddit has banned the subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump,” a spokesperson confirmed to Axios.
Why it matters: While not an official group or page hosted by the president, it’s one of the company’s largest political communities dedicated to support for President Trump.
What they’re saying: “Reddit’s site-wide policies prohibit content that promotes hate, or encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence against groups of people or individuals. In accordance with this, we have been proactively reaching out to moderators to remind them of our policies and to offer support or resources as needed,” a spokesperson tells Axios.
- “We have also taken action to ban the community r/donaldtrump given repeated policy violations in recent days regarding the violence at the U.S. Capitol.”
The big picture: It’s the latest in a string of platforms to take action against Trump’s accounts following the historic pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. (LINK)
The massive deplatforming and removal is unprecedented in scale. The movement by WordPress/Automattic to deplatform CTH shocked many in the media when it happened to us the week after the election.
In the aftermath of CTH being deplatformed we received many notifications of support and shocked messages from inside the tech industry. In recent days those same voices have signaled that CTH was likely a coordinated first-strike that previewed this post election wave to shut down voices of dissent.
These are remarkable times. Stand strong in fellowship… now people are starting to realize why CTH strongly advocated for unity of assembly in the last six months.
There are more of us than them. The Big Tech oligarchs who control the system are trying to shut down communication amid the dissenting voices that demand liberty and freedom. This is a strategic effort in the battle for our nation.
Stand strong!
More to come….
They are not trying to silence Donald Trump, they are attempting to silence all American voices of dissent. That's the scale of the 2020 election controversy.
JUST IN: Former first lady Michelle Obama calls on tech companies to permanently ban President Trump from their platforms and put policies in place “to prevent their technology from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection.”

Not so much for us old fogies, but I suspect if you are younger, looking for job or promotion, they will comb your social media, and if they find you don’t have a Twitter account, that will raise a “Red Flag”.

Pay attention to what is happening people!
The President of the United States and others

I agree, I got off Facebook a bout three years ago.
We need a good alternative to Twitter.

Our Constitutional freedom of speech is now monitored and controlled by these social media giants: Facebook, Twitter, and Google. And they believe they have the right to indoctrinate, manipulate and control the actions of every human being in America and eventually the world!
These social networks work to become the only speech platforms for people to use for communication and then they believe they have the right to control every word you say…..and to shut you up if they don't like your thoughts!
They have an agenda for the future and we have no right to speak up or oppose it? Can you imagine the day they take over Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T…… your phone services? And suddenly block you from using your phone to speak your mind because they're monitoring your calls and didn't like something you said in a conversation? That's what they're doing now on their social media pages. It's time to contact our Senators and Representatives and start the legal challenges to this!

Just keep tweeting under new profiles - anything with “Mike”. “Flynn”. “Sydney” etc...

My son just advised me that the Apple store will remove Parler from the App store unless Parler institutes a moderation policy.

When you deny people the right to even speak, you don’t silence them, you enrage them.
This is likely to end very poorly. It always has, historically.
