  • We have heard the calls from the LGBTQ groups that say we need to be more accepting and inclusive of their lifestyle in society. We have Black Lives Matter and the calls for putting their agenda and initiatives at the forefront of all aspects of life.
  • Big tech business, was caught in the middle of these events and was quick to welcome each of these with open arms. They released statements, created special platforms, and catered to their every desire.
  • But now, they are showing their hypocrisy by banning conservatives.
  • On Twitter’s website, they claim that all voices are welcome and all voices are needed when talking about their culture and values. That is unless you have a conservative voice but the example set by them are saying otherwise.
  • Facebook say they want a workforce as diverse as the people they serve on the platform, yet they are removing conservative groups left and right from the platform. That does not sound like tolerance and diversity at work.
  • Amazon claims, “We are a company of builders who bring varying backgrounds, ideas, and points of view to inventing on behalf of our customers.” but recently jumped into the mix as they said they would take action to remove Parler from its Amazon Web Services platform.
  • In one statement Google says, “Google is committed to continuing to make diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do.” Google also took an active role against Parler recently removing the company, without notice, from its application store.
  • Apple claims that the fact that everyone is different is what makes us so great. They talk about their inclusion of different ideas, values, beliefs, lifestyles into their company, and the importance of including everyone. Apple gave Parler notice that they would be delisted if they did not provide a clear moderation plan for content on its application.
  • This is about an attempt to silence millions of Americans. If big tech and big business are going to argue for giving a voice to those who need it, this is their chance to show that they are not biased.
  • Instead, they are failing and showing that they are only concerned with pandering to left-wing causes.

  • Can anybody say with a straight face that America is the land of the free, home of the brave? I remember back in the day people used the expression “it’s a free country” quite often.
  • You don’t hear that anymore. Why? Because America is slowly becoming a soft tyranny, a high-tech mélange of fascism, corporatocracy and oligarchy working under a fake bi-party system.
  • And everything happens with the consent of the governed, that’s the most flabbergasting thing. People never learn anything from history.
  • Watching the US going down in flames is almost surreal for a person who believed for decades that the United States of America is the freest country in the world.
  • Not anymore, as the transnational cabal that rules the world through central banking and more recently by controlling the narrative via big tech and mainstream media.
  • And speaking of free speech, last week was the moment when the transnational cabal showed its true face and banned real President Trump from virtually all social media. Following the “attempted coup d’état” at the Capitol, Trump was banned from Twitter and Facebook, Twitch and many more, including Shopify, an e-commerce platform from Canada.
  • Strangely enough, Amazon still sells MAGA gear, which means Bezos is not as stupid as Tobias Lutke and Finkelstein.
  •  After getting banned on Twitter and Facebook under the pretext that his messages could be interpreted as a call to violence by Q-people , Trump then went to Parler, which is set to become the Republican version of Twitter, and guess what: Amazon, Parler’s web hosting provider, kicked them out, and starting with like, today, Parler must find another company to host them.
  • After the CDN ban and the registrar ban, Parler and various MAGA sites are going to be in “Russia pls halp” territory; the thing is, Dlive, the Chinese streaming company already banned Nick Fuentes, Baked Alaska and many others, so forget about “Chyna” saving the day.
  • Even after ISPs begin hard-blocking domains China/Iran style, you will be able to stay online. But you will not be able to make any money at all.
  • Your personal lives will be destroyed, because you’re an evil terrorist Nazi who supported Trump and you’re blacklisted from polite society. And from getting a job.

  • If the vice president fails, Pelosi said, she will bring up an impeachment resolution on the following day.
  • She said that the act to impeach the president again would require “great solemnity” going forward.
  • Pelosi’s ongoing delay would make it significantly more difficult for Democrats to impeach the president before he leaves office, demonstrating that the process will again be more of a political exercise.
  • On Friday, President-elect Joe Biden avoided taking a position on impeaching the president again with only a few more days left in office, saying he would leave it up to Congressional Democrat leaders.
  • Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell released a memo last week on what the Senate will do if the House of Representatives votes again to impeach Trump.

  • Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday said he was lifting restrictions on contacts between U.S. officials and their Taiwanese counterparts, a move likely to anger China and increase tensions between Beijing and Washington in the waning days of President Donald Trump’s presidency.
  • China claims democratic and separately ruled Taiwan as its own territory, and regularly describes Taiwan as the most sensitive issue in its ties with the United States.
  • While the United States, like most countries, has no official relations with Taiwan, the Trump administration has ramped up backing for the island country, with arms sales and laws to help Taiwan deal with pressure from China.
  • In a statement, Pompeo said that for several decades the State Department had created complex internal restrictions on interactions with Taiwanese counterparts by American diplomats, service members and other officials.
  • “The United States government took these actions unilaterally, in an attempt to appease the Communist regime in Beijing,” Pompeo said in a statement.
  • The move appeared to be another part of an effort by Pompeo and Trump’s Republican administration to lock in a tough approach to China before Democratic President-elect Joe Biden takes office on Jan. 20.
  • Bonnie Glaser, an Asia expert at Washington’s Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank, said examples of the restrictions included Taiwanese officials not being able to enter the State Department, but instead having to meet at hotels.
  • “The Biden administration will rightly be unhappy that a policy decision like this was made in the final days of the Trump administration,” Glaser said.
  • An official with Biden’s transition said that once Biden was in office he would continue to support “a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues consistent with the wishes and best interests of the people of Taiwan.”
  • Chinese fighter jets approached the island in August and September during the last two visits: by U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar and U.S. Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Keith Krach, respectively.

  • “The United States government maintains relationships with unofficial partners around the world, and Taiwan is no exception. … Today’s statement recognizes that the U.S.-Taiwan relationship need not, and should not, be shackled by self-imposed restrictions of our permanent bureaucracy,” Pompeo said.
