In just over two years, suppression of political speech online has grown from Google's purge of conservative employees and the subsequent collusion between tech companies to simultaneously ban commentator Alex Jones from their platforms, to the point where these companies are emboldened not only to ban the president of the United States from social media, but official campaign websites, financial services – and even his email companies are refusing service. In the past week, Twitter removed over 70,000 conservative accounts, and Facebook suspended former Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul after he wrote a column criticizing tech censorship.
In a remarkable development, the American Civil Liberties Union has weighed in by sounding the alarm over the "unchecked power to remove people from platforms that have become indispensable for the speech of billions."
Americans are concerned things will get worse. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on airlines to put political opponents on terrorist no-fly lists; an attorney for the Public Broadcasting System was caught on tape discussing seizing children from Republicans and sending them to 'reeducation camps'; and large corporations are openly targeting Republican members of Congress for voting or debating against their agenda.

My entire profile on the web is my wife
The only place I’ve ever posted since 1995 is free republic
Right now I’m undergoing a serious background check for a Fortune 50 company and they will find nothing
You have to know this if you’re a serious conservative in the real world
If you think life is fair I have a bridge to sell you!
The beautiful thing is that you cannot suppress free-speech in a nation like the United States of America !!
this is not China this is not a rant this is not Pakistan this is not Syria
If they’re ever able to shut down talk radio , we will know we have lost
Radio is the ultimate in free media. There is never been a liberal that has made it to talk radio. Thousands and thousands of conservatives
Right now the left is in severe restriction of free speech mode because they know they stole the election and they want to try to suppress any and all speech about it
Good luck with that kids
Furthermore the puerile idiotic and moronic Democrats just impeach the President Trump over a complete and utter fabrication and there’s going to be a Senate trial coming up where all kinds of evidence is going to be presented both about the election steel and their fraudulent impeachment
I can’t wait
And if the turtle cocaine Mitch tries to shut down President Trump and his lawyers and his team from speaking that will be another nail in the GOPe. coffin!!!!
You’ll notice how on 6 January they use the Capitol Hill nonsense where the hero Ashley Babbitt was murdered , as a pretext to shut down any and all objections to the election
They almost couldn’t wait for her body to be removed and the blood stains mopped out before they reconvened
(From the article): " In just over two years, suppression of political speech online has grown from Google's purge of conservative employees and the subsequent collusion
between tech companies to simultaneously ban commentator Alex Jones from their platforms, to the point where these companies are emboldened not only to ban the president of the United States from social media,

This article is an alert to a warning
Do we keep our heads down to stay out of harm's way, or do we resist boldly, when we have no 'voice' ?
Notice that the current 'cancel culture' is picking off leadership and those who raise alarm, one-by-one, and stifling resistance to the socialist agenda mono culture.
Our strength is in OPSEC and letting common sense and discussion of opposing views at least be heard, but if we have no voice, ..it is the whistling of the wind in our ears only.
That is what the tech driven 'cancel culture' is all about : stifling any contrary voice or opinion.
In the past we have fed the monster based on First Amendment Rights and Civil Rights, which are protected by Constitutional law; but what if the big technocrats ignore the law ?
What if there is no enforcement of the Constitutional law as we have recently seen in this years last election,
there was no enforcement by any agency or by any court; not even by SCOTUS ?
Then where are we to turn for justice ?
This is a decision that each of us will have to make, individually, logically, devoid of any irrational emotion; and that decision will have to be made fairly soon ,
because the monster will soon be at our door if we haven't already been compromised .
I repeat, OPSEC is our strength; now carefully go out and look and prepare a similar thinking community for strength,
for there is strength in numbers.
And especially, detach yourself from continuing to feed the monster . (ie.: Fakebook, giggle, Micro $oft, chr*me, titter, etc.)
You may agree, or disagree with me
but think it over now, beeter now than rather when an MRAP is at the front door.
Choose you this day whom and which path you will follow ..
The decision is your's to make, and your's alone.
Please read the original article and the meaningful comments which precede and follow this posting.
Some are quite flippant, while others are thoughtful.
No doubt you will be eyed with suspicion if you have no “sm” presence. “Just what is this applicant hiding?” 😂 Good luck with job. We need the money. FR is about the extent of mine as well. Now if Mrs rktman doesn’t sell me down the river........
I definitely support FR and I say that first so no one misunderstands.
I do not believe that anyone can post on any site on the internet and remain unknown.
All the feds have to do is hack into FR data to get names and addresses.
For instance, I pay monthly by credit card. VISA has absolutely no interest in protecting me from the government.
But even if I met them in a dark alley at night and paid cash....the feds have ways of tracking.
This morning I ran across this and it explains very clearly the problems we face in speaking our minds.

Our only protection is to do as our founders did, when everything they communicated was on paper or in a tavern where spies were present....TELL IT THE WAY IT IS and damn the torpedoes.
I will tell the Leftards what they want to hear. At the same time with little acts of sabotage.
Silent Running!
So I guess I never can wear the Trump signature sweatshirt I just ordered. Bummer.
They will die yes. And consciously burn eternally in the lake of fire. Crazy part is, they don’t care or understand that we are trying to save them from that end.
Needs to be adopted as the National Anthem for those that refuse to comply. This was my go to song during the dark days of the Obummer reign.
Hash tag nineteen eighty four (#1984).
Hash tag 3150 fps.
5.56mm
That song has been running through my head so frequently recently.
Just some people Democrats know....
Kitty stew. Yumm! :-)
