    Godfather Politics ^ | Warner Todd Houston
    If you think you are avoiding the intrusive practices of Google by using alternative search site DuckDuckGo, a new report finds that the alternative site may still be handing your user data over to Google, anyway.According to a report on One America News, DuckDuckGo is not much of a safe alternative for Internet users.OAN spoke to Rich Granville, CEO of search engine site Yippy.com , and Granville pointed out that contrary to what DuckDuckGo claims, its code source contains customer tracking devices called “cookies.”A cookie is a line of code that allows the website to track its visitors.

    If this is how you employ "Opinion Engineering" witches to brainwash the people, you need to go back to the drawing board. Bad news for greedy billionaire oligarchs: (Trump Won), the Repubs are taking both the House & Senate. It used to be that the Electorate wanted the Presidency to be a different party than Congress & Senate. Since Trump won, it means the Electorate went for all-3, GOP President-Senate-House.
  • MacOS Big Sur is spying on everything you do and sending the data to Apple

    Notebook Check ^ | 11/17/2020 | Sam Medley
    Apple's latest operating system, macOS Big Sur, uses a new API to constantly send users' data (including how, when, and where a Mac is used) to Apple. This data is transmitted to Apple without encryption, meaning anyone with access to the same network as the Mac can see the information. There are plenty of reports of Google, Amazon, Facebook, and other big tech companies tracking and logging user data. Thankfully, Apple has been a bastion of respect for user privacy in both the computer and smartphone world. Right? According to a new report from Jeffrey Paul, a computer privacy blogger...

    This is my interview with Melissa Carone, the Dominion Voting Systems employee who came forward to report the fraud she witnessed in the wake of the election. This was Melissa's first interview after she was initially scheduled to appear on Hannity, however at the last moment they cancelled. Since then she has appeared on Lou Dobbs and this story has gained the attention of the President.

    Real Clear Investigations ^ | November 13, 2020 | Paul Sperry
    A curious thing happened as Fulton County, Ga., election officials counted mail-in ballots at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena in the days after the election. In the early hours of Nov. 5, a surge of some 20,000 mail-in votes suddenly appeared for Joe Biden, while approximately 1,000 votes for President Trump mysteriously disappeared from his own totals in the critical swing state, where Biden holds a razor-thin lead. A poll watcher noticed the suspicious shift in votes while monitoring the interim election results on the Georgia secretary of state website. “I concluded from looking at these results that this was an...

These allegations are being made by EYEWITNESS who saw outrageous federal crimes that...
  • MUST WATCH: Was The 2019 Gubernatorial Election in Kentucky a Dry Run for the 2020 Steal? Shocking Prediction From 2019 Comes True

    In 2019 Millennial Millie investigated the Kentucky gubernatorial elections. They found mysterious glitches. She noticed Matt Bevin's (R) vote count decreased by 560 in a single update. At the same time Any Beshear's (D) vote count would increase by 560 votes. There are other similarities that are mind-blowing. She dug in deep. She cracked the code. She explains exactly how they stole the Kentucky gubernatorial election. Also, she made a startling prediction in this 2019 video: She predicted the 2019 gubernatorial race was a dry-run for 2020 and they would use the same methods she identified. She appears to be...

    Share this with your family and friends if you find it useful.You can easily save over a $1,000 per year by cutting the cable TV cord. That money can go towards many other things, including a better internet connection to stream alternative entertainment and news. Additionally you can invest your savings, put it towards a vacation, do home improvement or give it to a worthy charity.I trade financial securities for a living. In this business we have a phrase, "FOMO", the Fear Of Missing Out. It's a psychological barrier for many traders. It makes people do things they do not...

    I have been looking for an alternative to Facebook from the beginning. I never subscribed to Facebook, though my family has. I disagree with the policies, deception, censorship, advertising policy, etc. BUT I see the value in friends, family and general society connections. I just heard of WeMe.com. Seems interesting. Does anyone have any experience with this service? We need to dump Facebook, and to do this we need an alternative. Is WeMe that alternative?

    The cable guy just fixed the internet. I disconnected the cable box to see what cutting the cord was like. Commenters recommended Pluto TV, which was available as an app through my PS4. It's free. It took about 60 to 90 seconds to download and install. I found it in about one minute scrolling through all the apps listed on the PS4. You can go to Pluto.tv to view their website, and see how to connect, whether by smart tv, a streaming device like Amazon Fire stick or Roku or the PS4, or even on your phone. There are more...

    In testimony before a Senate hearing this week Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg both admitted that they had no evidence that the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's laptop computer was Russian disinformation. "Why then did you censor the story and block the Post's account?" Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc) wanted to know. "I think we were hacked by a Russian agent," Dorsey replied. "Let me remind everyone that the Post hasn't been the only account that has been censored by our platform. Numerous conservative voices have been silenced or muted on Twitter for many years...
  • Is [Gov] Evers (D, WI) prepared to protect Election Day?

    Empower Wisconsin ^ | October 29, 2020 | M.D. Kittle
    MADISON, WI — Does Gov. Tony Evers have a plan in case Election Day gets rough? It doesn’t appear so. Here’s your first indication: The Wisconsin Homeland Security Council, responsible for advising the governor on emergency preparedness, hadn’t met since December 2019. The council finally met Tuesday afternoon. And after a 10-month hiatus, bureaucratic members seemed more concerned about health care “equity” and climate change than they were about the potential for intimidation at the polls — or rioting in Wisconsin’s city streets following the election. The question of the National Guard’s involvement did come up. Council members were told...

    Everyone expects a ****show [ed] from a Senate hearing, but who could have guessed that Jack Dorsey wouldn’t come prepared to answer the most basic questions about why some dubious information gets banned and other dubious information remains free as a bird? It’s only the core critique of Twitter’s attempt to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, after all. And it’s *been* the core critique of the platform ever since they began their policy of appending advisories to propaganda pushed by certain world leaders (Trump) but not others (literally everyone else). If Trump tweets nonsense about the fraudulence of mail-in...

A total of 57% likely voters say that scenario will likely occur, while 29% disagree. The remaining 14% was unsure....

    Key quote:But it's even worse than all of that. The time-frame of particular interest overlaps the Obama-Biden administration and early Trump administration, which also overlaps the origins and early phases of the anti-Trump conspiracy and rolling coup d'etat against the Trump presidency. In other words, while the FBI and CIA turned blind eyes to the Bidens and their corruption by and with America's enemies & rivals, the FBI and CIA were simultaneously staging, fabricating and investigating the Trump family and political team in order to drive the president from office and overturn an election. -- It is a special corruption...

    Click through to the North Carolina map. It is a different flavor than the Florida map - this one is not for live updating so much, it's for browsing and playing with demographic data. Note that the 'database' is entirely client side (compressed from 5GB to 4MB). It seems to work OK on my cell phone but a little lag is expected in the initial load and again on the queries.

    Anew social media platform launched this week is touting its commitment to refrain from censoring users' content while allowing them the chance to engage in meaningful political and social discourse. Clouthub, which operates out of Irvine, California, will offer users "a purpose-driven, multi-functional platform that moves beyond the self-serving 'look at me' nature of social networking," the company said in a news release this week. Criticizing what it called "the most extraordinary examples of censorship and free speech suppression by the giant social media platforms" that have occurred in recent weeks, the company said it will "empowe[r] users to address...
