The next major war is almost never fought in the same manner as the previous one. In 1940, Britain and France learned this lesson the hard way with their expectations of returning to trench warfare to defend the Maginot Line. Hitler and the Nazis instead introduced a new strategy called blitzkrieg, enabling them to quickly encircle and destroy the British and French armies, and from there conquer nearly all of Europe. Once again, we are failing to recognize the nature of the next major war – it will likely be a rapid, violent, and narrowly targeted war that will leave...

Big Media, Big Tech, Big Academia, the Deep State and the Cancel Culture clearly aligned with the Democrat Party, to resist, block, impede and impeach a duly elected President Trump, during and after the 2016 election and the 2020 election cycle. Computer “glitches” that too often operated in only one direction, backroom ballot counting, improper ballot harvesting and backdating, and other actions have increased concerns that the integrity of America’s elections and democracy is threatened. Equally worrisome is growing evidence that the integrity of our courtroom proceedings and jury verdicts is also at risk. Indeed, many of the same forces...

@JackPosobiec What happened to @Peoples_Pundit !!

Social media does not get to determine the veracity of a sworn affidavit any more than corporate media gets to determine who won an election. If you thought Twitter’s censorship of reported Joe Biden family corruption or frequent flagging of the U.S. president’s tweets were isolated incidents, think again. Big Tech’s efforts to shield favored political figures and positions from scrutiny have only increased. You and I can find ourselves branded with censorious labels even for sharing court documents containing sworn testimony, should the offending share touch any of a growing number of third rails. Today, the integrity of the...

In some rare circumstances, industry needs to be reigned in so that it doesn’t destroy society. The Gilded Age was one of those circumstances, for the reasons described in The Republic for Which It Stands. But even then, during the Gilded Age, at least the companies being regulated loved America. Carnegie and Rockefeller might have been monopolists, but they also cared about their country and wanted to make it better. Now, however, that is no longer the case. Big Tech is the enemy of freedom because our modern tech monopolists don’t care one iota about the country. Jack Dorsey, Zuckerberg,...

No matter how the presidential election ends, one of President Donald Trump’s myriad achievements stands above all others: he has exposed the unprecedented degree of rot and corruption that pervades the American system. More specifically, Trump has exposed the ruling class: the bipartisan political establishment and its adjuncts in Big Tech, the corporate media, Big Business and Woke Capital, the academy, and across the commanding heights of American society. Trump’s manners engender hatred in the ruling class. Even more significantly, his tenacity in confronting the ruling class’s members with their failures—and the fact he has threatened to rectify those failures—discredits...

Federal Election Commission (FEC) records revealed that liberal billionaire globalist George Soros gave $1 million through his super PAC to a major Big Tech scheme to oust President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. A recent report showed that Democratic super PAC Future Forward was quietly unleashing a barrage of television spending in the last weeks of the presidential race in order to try to defeat Trump. The group is backed by some of Silicon Valley’s biggest donors. Vox Recode had reported that the super PAC was “spending more than $100 million on television and digital in the final month...

It’s no secret. Facebook and Twitter have been relentlessly attacking conservative media outlets, Republicans, and Trump supporters for quite some time, but this week, they took their actions to a whole new level. The two tech giants have squelched the President; censored major conservative-leaning media outlets and personalities; and essentially declared an information war against anyone who disagrees with their political views. Parler, a social media alternative to Facebook and Twitter, owned in part by Conservative media figure Dan Bongino has welcome “Faceblock” and “Shtitter” political refugees with open arms and it has paid off. This week Parler became the...

Twitter has suspended my buddy David Limbaugh’s account for 12 hours by lying about him violating their rules. This is completely out of control— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 8, 2020

Why is it that US news channels censored a press conference by a President of the United States? Why is it that tech giants feel the need to censor Trump’s tweets? Why is it that in key Dem states the GOP observers were not allowed to actually observe anything? Why did the Dems counter-sue just to try to prevent GOP observers from observing the ballot count? Why do the media conglomerates all declare Biden the victor even though they all know for a fact that this is false (only the courts can declare a victor)? Why is it that FoxNews...

@marklevinshowFor my Facebook and Twitter followers, I’m posting items at Parler that won’t appear on Facebook and Twitter so make sure you check me there, @marklevinshow

A Twitter account for a podcast run by former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was permanently suspended by the social media company after he suggested beheading Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray. Bannon, speaking on his “War Room” podcast, said Trump shouldn’t just fire Wray and Fauci, he should dismember the government officials “as a warning to federal bureaucrats.” “I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England,” Bannon said in the bizarre rant. “I’d put the heads on pikes. I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a...

The morning newsletters say it all. Whether President Trump manages to win, Beltway denizens are waking up to the inescapable reality of their own ignorance. Like 2016, journalists and operatives are flirting with the prospect of introspection, and in almost exactly the same terms.Here’s Politico Playbook: TUESDAY WAS AN ABJECT DISASTER for Democrats in Washington. To imagine the amount of soul searching and explaining the party will have to do after Tuesday is absolutely dizzying. The infighting will be bloody — as it should be. We fielded text after text from Hill Democrats Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning with...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—As the Senate hearing on Big Tech went down today, an awkward moment ensued after the senators accidentally video-called Tom Anderson from MySpace. "Hey, guys, what's up!" Tom said as the horrified senators, who had been attempting to call Mark Zuckerberg, tried to hang up. "Long time, no talk! What's goin' on? Guys? Guys?" "I knew you guys would call back one day. I mean, I haven't been, like, waiting by the phone or anything like that, but it was always in the back of my head. Do you guys want to grab some lunch or something? I just...

As we enter the final stretch of the most important election in a generation, maybe ever, we are seeing the integrity of our political process being destroyed by the liberal Big Tech Elite. Imagine now you’re at the Super Bowl, we’re deep into the fourth quarter and your team trails by four points. It’s fourth and goal, your quarterback is about to call the game-defining play when suddenly some geeky guy walks on the field and takes the football away.Now imagine you’re at the World Series, it’s the bottom of the ninth in game seven and the score is tied....

Twitter locked the account of CPB Commissioner Mark Morgan over a post that touted the progress and effectiveness of the wall on the southern border. The tweet claimed that “walls work” and that “every mile helps us stop gang members, murderers, sexual predators and drugs from entering our country,” according to a screenshot provided to The Federalist. Twitter said Morgan violated the company’s rules against “hateful conduct.” “You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease,” Twitter’s message...

Spotify has defended allowing Infowars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to appear as a guest on Joe Rogan's podcast, saying it won't censor conservative voices just because some may not agree with them. In a memo to staff, Horacio Gutierrez, the company’s chief legal officer and head of global affairs, said that the platform would not ban people from going on others' shows just because staff may not agree with their views. 'Spotify has always been a place for creative expressions. It’s important to have diverse voices and points of view on our platform. 'We are not going to ban specific...

Sen. Ted Cruz during a hearing on Wednesday accused Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey of censoring content with an anti-conservative bias, with the Texas Republican focusing his argument around a policy the tech company has since changed. Cruz slammed Dorsey during the Senate Commerce Committee hearing over the company's decision earlier this month to limit the spread of a New York Post report that included allegations about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden that have been disputed by the former vice president's campaign. The company initially blocked users, including the New York Post, from tweeting links to the article,...

Today the CEO of Facebook testified before the Senate Commerce Committee. CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed that Facebook does not censor or ban users based on their political beliefs. Obviously that is not true as Gateway Pundit has reported numerous times over the past three years. Last week we mentioned that Facebook removed a disabled senior citizen’s page without warning because she was conservative. Today we report another famous Facebook page has been banned for selling Trump merchandise.

For all their talk of “neutral platforms,” the Big Shots at Big Tech — Twitter, Facebook and Google — are running a protection racket. They figure they can dictate what Americans get to see and read, and what other media companies must do to reach the public via those platforms. It’s a clear threat to a healthy democracy — and Congress has noticed. On Wednesday, the Senate launched a hearing to investigate “Big Tech’s bad behavior.” Center-stage: Twitter’s strong-arm tactics to censor The Post ever since we began reporting on Hunter Biden’s e-mails. First, it froze our account and banned...
