Do you know how many of the people arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion were active users of Parler?
Zero.
The planning was largely done on Facebook. This is all a bullshit pretext for silencing competitors on ideological grounds: just the start.

There are a few liberals who still do honest reporting. Greenwald is one of them.
You Cloud integrators... give Oracle a try.
Yup.
I’m not sure there’s a judicial body in operation that will give Parler a fair hearing.

I fear you are right. Can’t even count on SCOTUS.
Bkmk
I did Nazi that coming!
In Europe people are seeing it like big tech is controlling speech. A lot of communists there are leaking their chops, making it a “I told you so” moment to advance their agenda.
Only in America do we have a media and liberals not seeing how this fascism of theirs is being seen as such world wide, and how they are endangering us in making it perfect propaganda for communist fodder.
Of course, I am sure this was the idea.
Glenn is absolutely thrilling to read and listen to, especially on Tucker’s and Laura’s show, where he has a welcome home.He is throughly prepared, concise and focussed ALWAYS!
He has NEVER been invited on CNN or MSNBC, afaik. AND he’s an avid dog rescuer where he lives ( in Rio De Janeiro!)
It all makes sense now.
Greenwald might be the only real journalist left on the left...
Hmmm. I’m pretty sure there is not a judicial body in operation that will give Parler a fair shake...
But perhaps it will still prove interesting to see HOW the system fails... as it does ?
The cynic in me being well fed by events these days...
The outcome, still, will likely depend on turnings in the tides of events...
The passions ruling events today... might not be the same force they appear to be today... when it finally reaches... whatever limit it will ?
Outcome may depend on how the election settles...
If Trump wins and cleans house at DOJ... then a reinvigorated anti-trust interest... paired with prosecutions of the RICO elements in a conspiracy... and the Fourteenth issues in a civil rights prosecution... might extend the value of the Parler investors spending on lawyers.
A fine pun...
It was an antitrust conspiracy and should be treated as such.
One of the very few.
You given them far too much credit for “not seeing” IMO.
I think they know EXACTLY what they’re imposing... as it is EXACTLY what they intend...
Their “moderation” in public face is a ruse...
They ARE as crazy as they appear.

8 Jan: NY Post: Kamala Harris’ top economic advisor is another ***BLACKROCK exec
by Thornton McEnery
BlackRock is cementing its position as the Biden administration’s go-to Wall Street firm.
Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris on Friday said she’s selected BlackRock’s Global Chief Investment Strategist Mike Pyle as her chief economic advisor, making him the third high-profile member of Larry Fink’s $7.8 trillion financial empire to take a top job with the Biden White House...
Deese and Pyle, who will not require Senate confirmation, will be the first duo of the modern era to go from the same Wall Street firm to jobs as top economic advisors to the president and vice president of the United States.
Not even Goldman Sachs — famously mocked as “Government Sachs” for its roster of C-Suite executives who’ve moved into powerful DC roles — has managed that feat...

7 Jan: Philadelphia Inquirer: Business leaders denounce the Capitol attack and some blame Trump
by Joseph N. DeStefano
The Business Roundtable, a Washington organization composed of the top executives of many of the nation’s largest companies, also issued a statement critical of the mob action.
“The chaos unfolding in the nation’s capital is the result of unlawful efforts to overturn the legitimate results of a democratic election,” it read. “The country deserves better.” Along with ***COMCAST’S Roberts and ***VANGUARD’S Buckley, members of the group include Jeff Bezos of ***AMAZON, Tim Cook of ***APPLE, Mary Barra of General Motors, Edward L. Breen of DuPont, and Alex Gorsky, of Johnson & Johnson...
Larry Fink, chief executive of ***BLACKROCK, the largest U.S. private money manager, with local operations in Wilmington and Princeton, called the Capitol attack “an assault on our nation, our democracy, and the will of the American people.”...
Two of the Philadelphia region’s biggest corporate leaders — the heads of Comcast and Vanguard — joined other business leaders nationwide on Thursday in condemning the mob attempt to take over the U.S. Capitol...
