The cancel culture is reaching into people and places like never before.

It began as a form of shunning or ostracizing people on Leftist campuses across America. It has now transitioned from a point of disagreement to an operational, weaponized tool of destruction, where people are actively seeking to ruin the lives of others, removing them from employment, removing their free speech, even removing their ability to conduct their normal lives.

Cancel culture is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles – either online on social media, in the real world, or both. Those who are subject to this ostracism are said to be “canceled.” It’s used by Leftists, in almost every every instance I can think of, against Conservatives, Republicans, people who voted for or support President Trump, people who support free speech, the Second Amendment, and these days those who support the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

That is to say, everyone who doesn’t actively support everything advocated by Leftists.

The transition has been accomplished, as I’ve written numerous times before, in this fashion, from

• Tolerance, to
• Acceptance, to
• Advocacy

Today, if you are no longer an active advocate of ________, you are subject to being labeled any form of an ___ist and, further, subject to doxxing (revealing your address, place of employment, family members names, schools attending, their addresses, your date of birth, private information in public) so that you can be targeted at home, at work, for public harassment, protests, hacking, and worse.

The point is not just to “embarrass” you, it’s to ruin you or, in some cases, ensure you are the subject of targeted violence.

Recently, Brandon Straka was removed, actually banned from an email provider — a fucking email provider — because they didn’t care for the CONTENT of his emails. Which means any number of things:

1 They’re reading and monitoring his private emails, something that would require a warrant for law enforcement to accomplish;
2. Members of the company know of him and hate his politics;
3. Complaints have been made in order to cancel his speech;

This is not just an attempt but a successful means of ensuring that, much less put thoughts into the PUBLIC, Brandon Straka can’t even communicate on a personal level with others.

How long before YOU are removed from an email provider because they don’t like YOUR politics. Or what you say. Because they read your emails. Prove they don’t. Or, from their end: prove we do.

On November 9th, Brandon Straka was told he must leave the email provider Mailchimp, self-billed as a “top email service provider.”

On that date they wrote (see above photo of email):

“Hello Brandon,

Mailchimp is not able to serve as the email provider for your account with the username brandonstraka, because the content associated with your industry conflicts with our Acceptable Use Policy (mailchimp.com/legal/acceptable_use) or presents a significant risk to our deliverability.”

Clearly a Leftist organization. But a few logical questions:

What is the “content” associated with his “industry”? We all know to what they’re referring. Brandon Straka is now a major “influencer” in politics having started the entire “#WalkAway” movement. He’s getting too much power. He met President Trump. He was invited to Trump rallies. He’s hosted and started any number of conferences, marches and the like. Therefore he must be throttled and crushed.

It’s too easy for him to communicate his message.

What “industry”? Now that’s a good question. I suppose addressing the issues of bravery, not having a hive mind, thinking for oneself, realizing who the Demorats really are — and having the temerity to actually talk about it — that’s an “industry.”

To what specific “content” are they referring?

How does his “content” conflict unless they are READING and MONITORING his emails?

And what does a “significant risk to our deliverability” mean?

I speak Leftist. Allow me to translate. That means they could themselves be potentially subject to doxxing or the cancel culture if they were to continue hosting his emails. Clearly someone squealed from within or complained from without.

Yet, they take the coward’s way out — like every other free-speech-hating bit of social media extant — with absolute unspecificity. They refuse to tell you exactly which bit you violated, simply throwing a litany of generic topics on the wall to see what sticks.

Well hell; they don’t care. As far as they’re concerned, everything sticks.

To continue their CVS (Corporate Virtue Signaling), they had to sever ties with a gay man. Think about that for a moment.

Yeah. That’s where we are in 2020.

Remember:

If you’re on Mailchimp, you should realize that they’re reading your emails and discriminating against gays. You do as you will about that.

Brandon Straka was becoming too powerful for the LDAMM. It’s clear that now a certain website — not a point on Twitter, not a point on Facebook, but an actual website — became too powerful to suit Leftists.

Google already has throttled Breaitbart.com damned near into the ground. But at least they can be seen. If you know where to go.

Election Interference: Google Purges Breitbart from Search Results

by Allum Bokhari, 7-28-20

A few days after the 2016 election, at an internal meeting later leaked to Breitbart News, top Google executives, including Sundar Pichai, Sergey Brin, and Kent Walker, lamented President Trump’s victory, comparing Trump voters to “extremists” and discussing their desire to make Trump’s election and the populist movement a “blip” in history.

They learned from 2016.

True to their word, four years later, Google is deliberately working to interfere with the reelection of Trump in 2020.

There are several ways in which Google is interfering in the 2020 election, but this article will focus primarily on one of them: political search bias.

Search visibility is a key industry measure of how findable a publisher’s content is in Google search. New data shows that Google has suppressed Breitbart’s search visibility by 99.7 percent since 2016.

On April 4, 2016, Breitbart ranked in the top ten search positions (i.e., on the first page of Google search results) for 355 key search terms; but now, as of July 20, 2020, Breitbart ranks in the top ten search positions for only one search term. And, on April 4, 2016, Breitbart ranked in the top 100 search positions for 16,820 key search terms; but now, as of July 20, 2020, Breitbart ranks in the top 100 search positions for only 55 search terms.

Google controls it all.

So when in doubt, simply remove all the speech you don’t like.

Those damned uppity Conservatives, with their bitter clinging to their God and their guns .  .  .

.  .  . and their stupid Constitution and its ridiculous Bill of Rights. Sad thing is, there are likely some Conservatives in the Leftist woodpile here and there. Horrendous! There should be NO mixing of the thoughts! Heil Zuck! Heil Brin! Heil Dorsey! Heil Bezos! Heil Soros! Click those cleated metal heels, dammit!

Then there was this — a new direction and goal from the LDAMM — as written here.

The Treehouse is Deplatformed…

by Sundance, 11-15-20

Most CTH readers are likely aware of the term “deplatforming.”  Unfortunately, the big tech control mechanism to shut down speech & assembly has now arrived on our doorstep.

One week after the 2020 presidential election, The Conservative Treehouse received the following notification:

…”given the incompatibility between your site’s content and our terms, you need to find a new hosting provider and must migrate the site by Wednesday, December 2nd.

And who made this decision? WordPress.

What does this mean?  It means CTH is being kicked-off the WordPress website hosting platform because the content of our research and discussion does not align with the ideology of those who define what is acceptable speech and what is not.

What was our violation?  After ten years of brutally honest discussion, opinion, deep research and crowdsourcing work -with undeniable citations on the events we outline- there is no cited violation of any term of service because CTH has never violated one.

Let me repeat, for those of you from the Department of Redundancy Dept:

“There is no cited violation of any term of service because CTH has never violated one.”

Conclusions, anyone? Bueller?

The WordPress company is not explaining the reason for deplatforming because there is no justifiable reason for it.  At the same time, they are bold in their position. Perhaps this is the most alarming part; and everyone should pay attention. They don’t care.

THEY.    DON’T.    CARE.

Because they don’t have to. Yet.

Truthful assembly is now the risk.  CTH is now too big; with a site reach of 500,000 to a million unique readers each day; and with well over 200,000 subscribers; our assembly is too large, too influential, and presents a risk… we guard the flickering flame.

I guard the flickering flame. You guard the flickering flame.

Accepting -at its core- this move is all about politics, this is yet another reference point in the tenuous nature of where we stand.   There’s no hate-speech on this website; there’s no graphic, violent, foul or abusive speech here.  The ‘content‘ of the Treehouse is the same discussion that happens around your kitchen table or back porch discussion with friends.  We would never cheapen or insult that conversation with vulgarity because that’s not who we are… because that’s not who our nation is. 

As they write, this is the point:

The ‘content’ is not compatible with WordPress, the world’s largest website and blog hosting service.  The content within the largest blog on that global platform is what has become troublesome.  “The content”.

I cannot see how this does not become “normalized” under a Biden (read: Harris/Leftist) administration.

So do what BZ calls “The Logical Extension.”

Here’s what Conservatives need — and it would take millions if not billions of dollars. But it’s how you’d have to begin.

First, a massively-wealthy Conservative would have to buy land and build massive server farms for a new search engine.

That would have to lead to Conservative email and other communications sites. Perhaps even a dedicated satellite.

That would then extend to a new video hosting site, web hosting site, and then a series of new social media sites. Everything self-hosted. Self-funded. Something that can’t be de-platformed because, well, the server farms would be absolutely independent of everything else. An independent search engine. Independent sites. In dependent hosting.

That, folks, is a lot of damned money. But that’s what it would take.

Finally: you, may or may not realize, thusly, that BZ‘s host is WordPress. At one point, from roughly 2006 to 2009, it wasn’t uncommon for me to get 100 hits per minute. Now, a small fraction of that.

What if, in today’s environment, I was getting 100 to 200 hits per minute or more? If I were widely read, quoted and had something close to the readership and efficacy of Conservative Treehouse?

Right. I’d be gone too. The only difference? I don’t reach nearly as many people. I’m a flea.

These are your freedoms being removed, folks, right in front of your face. And simultaneously you’re being gaslighted, told this isn’t really happening, that you’re a raving conspiracist, that you can’t believe your lying eyes.

If you haven’t clued in yet, Leftists and many Demorats don’t want you around. They want you gone, eliminated or, like the Borg, assimilated.

Many Leftists are finally speaking and writing in the clear, suggesting that you should be not just removed from society, but killed. Oh, and police too, of course.

Let me remind you, again, of this bit of insight from Pastor Martin Niemoller during the rise of Adolf Hitler.

You might want to pass it on to your oblivious friends.

There are far too man of them.

And you know who they are.
