Trump Blasts Social Media ‘Censorship': ‘Discriminating Against Republican/Conservative Voices’

Duh. Who decides what is said or who gets to speak in your house?

 

Dennis Pager was banned. He’s a mainstream conservative, not radical at all.

There’s a definite pattern here.

 

Everyone gets to write or say what they want in my house, unless they're are on Facebook, where they might get censored for expressing conservative viewpoints.

Why do you keep believing that Facebook is a private entity when they are not? They are a publicly owned monopoly that is violating the free speech rights of their users. And that's just one aspect of their illicit activities. Compromising the identities of their users being another.

And who decides in your house that everyone can write and say what they want?
Show me the gun, then I'll believe they are.

 

“WHAT ARE YOU REBELLING AGAINST?” “HOW MUCH MONEY HAVE YOU GOT?” Far-left extremists are raising money on Patreon to “inspire insurrection.”

Far Left Watch has done a good job of collating what violence-inspiring lefties are getting away with on Patreon, so you’ll want to click over. But first, this:

Patreon is back in the news following another round of what appears to be an ideological purge from their platform. In the last few days the accounts for Milo Yiannopoulos, Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad), and James Allsup were all terminated. These individuals all have different belief systems and principals and have been vocal critics of each other but their common denominator is a very vocal and effective critique of the far-left and their creeping authoritarianism.

Following the termination of these accounts, many people speculated that Patreon was selectively enforcing their Community Guidelines in order to target right-of-center influencers.​

But of course.

 

It is not just the conservative voices being censored. This is the problem with Trumps diatribe as it serves to detract from the big picture and minimize the big picture.

These companies - like the MSM - have become a propaganda arm of the State. It is the CIA sitting down with these companies and telling them what they "must" censor ... essentially anything that conflicts with the Establishment narrative and "necessary illusion".

This is a war for the mind .. a war that the public is going to lose.

 

The HELL WE ARE!

Internet/Social Media Attorney: PayPal and Stripe Look Like They Committed an Anti-Trust Violation in Deplatforming SubscribeStar to Protect Their Other Business Partner Patreon; Facts Justify an FTC Investigation Into Whether These Companies Are Acting in Concert To Squelch Competitors

PayPal, at 73% market share in the US, is covered by law as a monopoly as far as anti-trust law goes; when you add in Stripe's 20+%, and note they acted simultaneously to exclude the same company, this is monopolistic collusion

The government needs to investigate who is making these decisions and why; also is it actually Visa/Mastercard forcing these decisions on PayPal? If Visa/Mastercard is a monopoly in the money transfer business, and they likely are, that leaves them open to an antitrust action too.

Remember, it was MasterCard who ordered PayPal to shut down Robert Spencer (the jihad researcher one, not the neonazi Richard Spencer). PayPal said so at the time.

Is it the hidden hand behind so much of this other monopoly?

 

This is par for the course. Laws against these kinds of practices are overlooked or not enforced. The funny thing is that in many ways the hands behind these actions are not hidden. The raging masses are so ignorant that these things often happen in plain sight.

It is not some cabal or star chamber. There are numerous big money interests and these interests often conflict - as does the establishment factions these interests control.

It is the areas where these interests do not conflict that are important - such as this issue.

The establishment does not give a hoot about abortion, immigration, gay marriage and so on. The Establishment agenda has to do with money, power, taking away rights and essential liberty, increasing the power of the police state and so on.

 

We see this throughout the national government, when the perpetrators are Republicans or Conservatives, the result is a heavy handed witch hunt and overzealous prosecutors. when Libs and Democrats, excuses and justification.

so government intervention in the free market is something you endorse. Interesting?

Or do you just advocate investigation into things that might smell fishy? You know like the Trump Campaign.

 

It is really important to not make this a black vs white, good vs evil, God vs Devil, Red vs Blue issue/narrative. Its not. This is an "Establishment" issue and the political and bureaucratic elite is both Red and Blue with big money interests at the top of the food chain.

The above is an interesting example but we can go through many many others. Its rampant. We have a pay to play system and both red and blue are knee deep in the swamp.

 

I don't completely disagree with you, it's monopolistic vs Freedom and Liberty. And Red or Blue, we all need to be on the same side when our Freedom and Liberty are on the line.

 

100%. The Establishment hates the principles on which this nation was founded - Individual liberty "above" the legitimate authority of Gov't and consent of the governed.

It is not some "star chamber" or "cabal" however. There are competing interests and competing groups and these groups disagree on many things. The things to watch is not the things on which there is disagreement but, the things on which they agree.

The establishment does not give one hoot about the hot button issues " abortion, immigration, gay marriage and so on" - other than these issues serve as useful in keeping the people divided.

The founders set up a system that tried to limit the power of Gov't. For over 200 years Gov't (as all Gov't is wont to do) has been trying to get that power back - and it has succeeded.

I call our current system an Oligopoly-Bureaucracy Fusion Monster.
