I suppose this was bound to happen. It infuriates the cabal that we have turned almost entirely to alternative free outlets. Sure, we watch the local news, sports and weather in the evening, but more and more are tuning off the fake media and finding out what's really going on, from social media. Personally, I love "Telegram". It's a haven for conspiracy theorists like me. I suppose now we'll have to figure out another way to practice free speech. It may be time to re-read "1984", so I can be prepared.

And "A Brave New World"? C.S. Lewis' trilogy is rather fitting now too, especially the last one.

Lewis' prescient third book, That Hideous Strength, which I have read 3 - 4 times, should be required reading for all thinkers today...

I would suggest that if we could teach it to the non thinkers there may be hope ;)

Qortal is one answer. Check it out at qortal.com, or Bastyon is simlar. Decentralization means these fasco-Marxists can suck dust

Thanks for the info. I can't pull up the qortal site, but Bastyon is accessible. They may have underestimated us just a tad.

There is also an app called Signal which will work with your contacts (who also have it). Supposedly you turn off your phone and it converts it into a walkie-talkie mode. I do believe, also that the cabal's plan to rule over the proletariat isn't working quite as well as they thought it would. There are still those nearly 400 million, privately owned firearms to consider.

In the words of SpongeBob, SquarePants, "Well, good luck with that".

Yes, I have Signal, too. Qortal should work, not sure why you are having problems. Maybe check back or just do a search rather than to go qortal.com? It IS new, so probably having growing pains...

Sounds good. Thanks again!

There is one simple way around this problem, albeit a money loser for big tech. Cut off all services to Europe. Period. Total social media blackout. No censorship needed.

If substack is affected by this it would be substack that would pay the penalty not individuals posting on substack just like on any other platform. Meta will be the one complying not users of FB and IG, etc. I don’t think you need to self censor. That’s what they want.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”

— President Harry S. Truman

My only hope for mankind is the Return of Jesus Christ as King of kings. I have no faith in any governmental leaders to alleviate the problems of man's present condition. This quotation from Revelation 18 is profound and enormously timely when you consider the warning: “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.”

I'm not surprised, wondering when this next step comes and here it is. This is a two edged sword they have been playing. Got bots floating conspiracy stories and unaware people on line see what they want to see and repeat it and their in trouble. It is so hard now to know what is true. They do deliberately float conspiracy theories they know is a lie, or act out like something odd is happening then entrap people. We must be careful.

Folks, check out decentralized apps like Qortal as one answer. at qortal.com, or Bastyon is similar. It's all just decentralized computing. Decentralization means these fasco-Marxists can suck dust

I wonder how the tech companies will deal with posts by Americans that appear to Europeans. They would need multiple platforms for different audiences based on your ip address. So they probably won’t and will simply shut down nonconforming information from any source to avoid being fined.

Expand full comment

If they do that, they will lose all of their subscribers and hence all of their advertisers. How will they possibly make money? Maybe the drug companies will step in to save them by advertising their latest "cure" for a disease that they themselves caused. Now that's a great business model.

I think the people trying to impose global totalitarianism will pay them directly.

I hope you are using other platforms besides Amazon for your books, Snyder. They are Big Tech.

Yes, the books will start disappearing now. If there are any that any of us want that we haven’t yet purchased, we need to do so asap.
