  • Here’s Why The Corporate Media Keeps Whining About Twitter's Competitor, Parler

    Red State ^ | 11/24/2020 | Jeff Charles
    Parler has been in the news quite a bit over the past year. The social media company has seen a remarkable increase in users as conservatives face increased censorship on other platforms. Oddly enough, the corporate press has taken a bizarre interest in Parler and its increased membership. Left-leaning news outlets would have you believe that their objection to the social media site is related to misinformation and conspiracy theories. But it seems that it might be something else that has motivated their hysteria over the app. Politico recently published a piece noting the rise of Parler acknowledging its recent...
  • Making Cyber Criminals Walk the Constitutional Plank

    Law and Liberty ^ | November 23, 2020 | Adam J. MacLeod
    International cyber piracy is a growing threat to personal, economic, and national security. But it is not a new threat, not in essence. In the basic character of the problem that it poses to law-abiding citizens of civilized nations, piracy of intellectual resources over the Internet is the same as piracy of ships and cargo on the high seas. Both are actions of trespass and theft beyond the reach of the legal institutions that protect the victims. Like the Barbary pirates of old, cyber pirates often live in sovereign states that fail to remedy or sanction their wrongs. The Constitution...

    Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/23/2020 | Larry Johnson
    Sorry for using the word, “algorithm.” I suspect most of you reading this struggled thru basic algebra in high school and did not deign to venture into the world of calculus and other advanced mathematics. The explanation is simple. A calculation built into the computer software was executed to produce numbers that, if unexamined, appear to secure a victory for Biden. The numbers do not lie. Votes were manufactured for Joe Biden. The citizens of Pennsylvania voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. Joe Biden’s folks tried to steal it.A fellow by the name of Edward Solomon has done yeoman’s work in...

    The Communist government of Vietnam has threatened to ban Facebook if it doesn't step up its censorship of content critical of the government. At stake is an estimated billion dollars a year in revenue to Facebook. It's not like Facebook hasn't been assiduously editing out or blocking anti-government statements. "We made an agreement in April," said a Facebook spokesman. "We upheld our end of the agreement, and we expected the government of Vietnam to do the same, but now they want to exert even more control over us. It's like they never heard of freedom of the press." Minister of...

    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 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...

    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...
