    First they came for Alex Jones, then...

    From "The Burning Platform", https://www.theburningplatform.com

    I’ve never been a huge fan of Alex Jones. He always seemed a little unhinged to me. But who cares? He had the right to his free speech and was able to attract millions of followers to his website and as viewers of his videos. I disagree with far more people than I agree with, but that doesn’t mean I think they should be silenced.

    The First Amendment means something to me. It means nothing to the corporate media conglomerates supporting the agenda of the Deep State. They will use and are using their monopoly control over media outlets to silence the opposition.

    And from Vox.com:

    To be clear, Facebook, Spotify, YouTube, and Apple are all private companies, and legally have the right to ban any entity from their platforms, including Jones. As Marissa Lang wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle in August 2016:

    As private companies, social networks are not required to adhere to the First Amendment. They set their own rules and retain the right to moderate content, routinely screening it for instances of gratuitous violence, harassment, profanity and other offensive material.

    And from me:

    We need an media representative platform that values freedom of expression/thought, to compete with the likes of Google/FB etc...The scale and barriers to entry would be considerable, yet, these web based entities are in many ways the equivalent of the founding fathers printing press.

    And from George Orwell:

    “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

    As much as I am not a fan of the censoring of free speech... Their platform, their rules.
    "SEND IT" happens to be my trigger words...

    Nope. That ended in the 70s. Open for business, means open for business. "I don't like your kind" went out with big bush in porn.


    If the Apple wants to say that it violates their religious beliefs, let's see that court case.

    And no one finds it interesting that all three are acting in unison? Almost like they want to make sure that he doesn't have a platform to fight back on.

    I don't like Alex Jones, but you have to realize that to about 60% of the country Rush Limbaugh looks the same and to 40% even Ben Shapiro should be off the air.

    And it isn't like this is happening in a vacuum. Look at NYS going after the NRA.

    Look at Twitter.

    Look at YouTube.

    If you can't have access to Youtube, podcasts, twitter and Facebook- what do you have access to?

    And in the MSM lying about you and your cause and where does that leave you?

    You have to buy (from them) all your media, while they get to set the agenda and put their side out there for free.

    Yep, that's a plan for a stable democracy.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    I thought this was fill in the blank....

    "First they came for Alex Jones, then...they came to the homes of gun owning, traditional Conservatives and we killed every last one of that Commie scum".

    That's my feel good statement of the day; not PC, but my personal feelings at this point in my life. Too violent? Can't help it. I'm an imperfect person.

    This is the modern version of book burning.
    If your political view, opinion or even your own wild fictional story is not appreciated, it simply will be expunged from the news and it's history of ever existing will be removed forever.
    How convenient can that be for those who have power and want to keep it?

    I don't have power, but I have Freedom, and I intend to hang onto it. I keep looking at all of these recent events, and I am starting to think there may be no peaceful way for all of this to work itself out. Generally, I am an optimistic person, but the lines are getting clearer all the time.

    So is Alex Jones unable to obtain his own server and host his own website and content?
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    They went after Q as well, all coordinated, something like 48 news outlets all on the same day because Q's just a "LARP" yet they want to desperately shut that down. I think between Q and Alex Jones reporting about these elites in their child trafficking activities is why there has been a sudden push from the top to silence them.

    He could not, but it would be expensive to replicate the bandwidth, capacity, uptime, hacking protection, backups, sysop time, and periodic equipment replacement. Then you have the issue of being invisible to popular searches via Google, YouTube, social media likes/follows, advertiser revenue, etc.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.
