Machinations: what is happening to our country?

Posted on by

First, let’s begin with the $900 BILLION dollar “stimulus” package that was pushed through by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who received roughly half of what President Trump proffered months earlier, but was refused by Her Highness. Back in October:

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Wednesday that Congress is unlikely to enact economic relief legislation before the November 3rd election because Nancy Pelosi-led Democrats do not want to deliver anything that President Donald Trump could portray to voters as a win.

So Pelosi held up money which could have been distributed months prior, because she enjoyed playing politics with the lives of Americans.

She literally said so. There’s a new president, so she’s willing to deal. Why? Because she couldn’t give Trump a win before the election. It really is that simple.

But Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas lays it all out with the truth.

It is one of the most craven, callous, cynical, despicable actions I’ve heard of, played for politics, by Demorats, in quite some time. And that’s saying something.

Refusing to open America up — whilst simultaneously playing god, dangling money in front of Americans and then snatching it away “because OMB: Orange Man Bad.”

When in fact the proper play would have been to SAVE that money and allow Americans to do what they’ve wanted for months: to get back to work.

We all know the numbers. We all know, as Americans, that we’ve been sold a massive bill of goods and that we have been gaslighted for over four years.

A small aside for a BZ Reality Check.

I’ve never worn gloves, a mask twice, I seldom wash my hands, I touch gas pump handles, groceries, goods in Costco, doors all over. I fear this like I fear the flu.

When I die, which won’t be that long, it’ll be due to a heart attack because I’m so fucking fat. I don’t fear death, and I’m not stopping living.

Too many have. Because of unreasonable government demands.

Which is why suicides have skyrocketed, OD’s have skyrocketed, Valium and other psychotropic prescriptions have skyrocketed, we’re ruining an entire generation of kids, keeping them from schools, from their pals and their friends, from necessary socialization.

We’ve set nursing homes on fire because they’re not the first priority, we’re watching domestic violence arrests, injuries and deaths skyrocket, people are divorcing, losing their jobs, their homes, their apartments, their cars, their savings, going bankrupt, becoming homeless.

All because government morons can’t understand the consequences of their actions.

And because THEY still have their jobs, have no skin in the game, go and do as they please despite their own orders — which tells me they don’t believe the bullshit they spew. And you can’t tell me there isn’t a punitive aspect to their strictures when they “feel” they’re being dismissed.

Their edicts clearly take precedence over something as stupid as some ancient, worthless document.

They’ll arrest “violators” of their Wuhan-19 regulations and put them in jail. But arsonists, rioters, assaulters, rapists, murderers, go free or with no bail.

We’re releasing felons, murderers, pederasts, but threatening normal people.

Here in Sacramento County, the Board is Supervisors are considering TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR FINES for violations. Not for murder, but for Wuhan-19.

That’s insane. No business can afford that. No private person can afford that. It’s simply punitive and oppressive.

Unlock America. Let people live their lives. You can’t stop this crap. People who are fearful should stay home. Period. More on this in a moment.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch.  .  .

Congress unveils massive $900B COVID government spending bill after months of negotiations

by Megan Henney, 12-21-20

The deal comes at an increasingly perilous time for the nation as it teeters on the brink of another economic downturn

Congressional leaders on Monday unveiled a mammoth agreement on a roughly $2.4 trillion spending package that includes $900 billion in coronavirus relief after a half-year stalemate, securing another tranche of aid as a surge in COVID-19 infections threatens to further derail the nation’s faltering economy.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has pledged that lawmakers won’t leave the Capitol until the bill is passed, giving lawmakers and their offices just a few hours to review the massive 5,593-page bill.

STOP. Any and every bill — specifically like this and the ACA (Affordable Bill Act, which was everything but), which contains this number of pages — almost 6,000 — should be on its face immediately refused on its face unless a sufficient period of time, which should be weeks, is allowed for its processing and, more importantly, discussing openly in chambers.

This is simple insanity. No human can read a bill this large and totally understand it, much less be able to craft any form of a cogent series of questions about it, or even discuss it, in hours.

There is ONLY ONE REASON for doing so, and that is to create arbitrary pressure — which could have been relieved literally months ago — in order to pass provisions in a bill of this size that would revolt even the strongest of stomach, to create emetic conditions.

In other words, there are NO good reasons to remotely consider passing bills like this. It’s sheer insanity, intended to confuse AND to slip things by members that they would, under normal conditions, object to vehemently. It’s to pull the wool over your eyes and trick you.

Particularly when we know something about their infamous contents.

The bipartisan, bicameral proposal — intended to blunt the continued economic fallout from the virus-induced crisis —  will be combined with $1.4 trillion in spending to fund government operations for the rest of the fiscal year, meaning the total package costs about $2.3 trillion. 

And so what else did we find contained within?

$135 Million dollars to Burma

$85.5 Million dollars to Cambodia

$1.4 Billion dollars for the “Asia Reassurance Initiative Act.” Hello? CHINA.

$130 Million dollars to Nepal

$700 Million dollars to Sudan

$26 Million dollars to the Kennedy Center — why does the Kennedy Center get precedence every year? I know why. So DC elites have somewhere to go, drink cocktails on your dime, show off to each other and talk shit behind each other’s political backs.

$1 Billion dollars to the Smithsonian.

$154 Million dollars to the National Art Gallery

$167 Million dollars to the National Arts and Humanities (nice places for cocktail parties)

$10 Million dollars for “gender programs” in Pakistan. You know. The nuclear armed Muslim country that wants to wipe out India, forces women to wear veils, adores honor killings. You know, because Pakistani Muslims are some of the most understanding of “gender studies” on the planet. And that cash goes into the pockets of the bureaucrats to create more weapons against Pakistani enemies.

$1.3 Billion dollars to Egypt

$453 Million dollars to Ukraine

$33 Million dollars to Venezuela

$3.3 Billion dollars of Grants to Israel

$3.36 Billion dollars to Bill Gates

YOU get $600. YOU are an AFTERTHOUGHT. Why? Because so many of you reprehensible people both voted for Trump and refuse to wear your masks, sit down, shut up, and listen to your superiors.

The agreement was expected to provide $600 stimulus payments to millions of American adults earning up to $75,000. It would revive lapsed supplemental federal unemployment benefits at $300 a week for 11 weeks — setting both at half the amount provided by the original stimulus law. It would also continue and expand benefits for gig workers and freelancers, and it would extend federal payments for people whose regular benefits have expired. The measure would also provide more than $284 billion for businesses and revive the Paycheck Protection Program, a popular federal loan program for small businesses that lapsed over the summer. It would expand eligibility under the program for nonprofits, local newspapers and radio and TV broadcasters and allocate $15 billion for performance venues, independent movie theaters and other cultural institutions devastated by the restrictions imposed to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Of course, the New York Times reminded us of this:

Climate Change Legislation Included in Coronavirus Relief Deal

by Coral Davenport, 12-21-20

The legislation calls for cutting the use of powerful planet-warming chemicals common in air-conditioners and refrigerators.

In the waning days of the 116th Congress, lawmakers have authorized $35 billion in spending on wind, solar and other clean power sources while curtailing the use of a potent planet-warming chemical used in air-conditioners and refrigerators.

They amount to a rare party rebuke to Mr. Trump on the issue of global warming, after he spent the past four years mocking and systematically rolling back every major climate change rule. The comity may also signal that while President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. is unlikely to secure his full climate plan, he may be able to make some progress in curbing global warming.

Advocates for climate change policy said passage of the climate measures — especially the limits on refrigerants — could signal to the rest of the world that the United States is ready to rejoin the global effort to slow the warming of the planet. The coolant phase-down would be one of the most significant federal policies ever taken to cut greenhouse gas emissions, according to an analysis by the Rhodium Group, a research and consulting firm.

The new legislation would require the nation’s chemical manufacturers to phase down the production and use of coolants called hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs. They are a small percentage of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, compared with carbon dioxide from the fossil fuels that power vehicles, electric plants and factories, but they have 1,000 times the heat-trapping potency of carbon dioxide.

You know. The things that actually work and keep you cool. Keep technology cool. Keep the massive server rooms of Google, Twitter, Facebook and others cool.

But why is this in a Coronavirus relief package at all? Because Leftists and Demorats realize that “global warming” isn’t resonating any more. You’re more concerned with your stupid little jobs, your stupid little wages, you’re stupid families, your stupid grandparents, your suicides that don’t mean anything except to a small circle of friends, your puny apartments and houses, having jobs, running a business, all the ridiculously immaterial things.

So if YOU won’t pay attention, they’ll just round up your money any way. Fuck you taxpayers.

Everything is upside down in terms of the election as well. Patrick Byrne weighs in on the election and what’s been happening.

Things got stranger and stranger. From WesternJournal.com:

Pentagon Blocks Biden from Meeting with Military Intel Agencies

by Jack Davis, 12-6-20

The Pentagon has so far blocked meetings between the Biden transition team and officials with the intelligence agencies that are part of the Department of Defense, according to two new reports.

However, defense officials and the Biden team differ on the reason why the meetings have not yet taken place.

Presumptive potential President-elect Joe Biden has formed a transition team to facilitate a transfer of power. The General Services Administration has been given a green light to assist the transition team and meetings have been taking place with various agencies.

However, Biden’s transition officials have not yet met with representatives of the military intelligence agencies that are part of the Defense Department such as the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, according to CNN.

On December 10th, this was announced:

Pentagon weighs cutting most of its support to CIA’s counterterrorism missions

by Luiz Martinez, 12-10-20

CIA counterterrorism missions rely on military for logistical support, personnel

In a surprising move, the Pentagon has told the Central Intelligence Agency that it is weighing an end to the majority of the military support it provides to the agency’s counterterrorism missions, according to a former senior administration intelligence official.

It is unclear how the decision would impact the spy agency’s worldwide counterterrorism missions that often rely on the U.S. military for logistical support and personnel.

Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller sent a letter to CIA Director Gina Haspel outlining the possible decision, according to the former official, who characterized the action as both surprising and unprecedented.

Is this because we’re discovering that Gina Haspel is an impediment to freedom when she refused to release documents President Trump had declassified?

Miller’s letter asked that the CIA provide a response by Jan. 5, according to a DOD official.

So remember January 5th — to see what occurs on this date between the CIA and the Pentagon.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Then we suffered the greatest hack of the century. From CNBC.com:

The U.S. government is under the ‘hack of a decade’ after massive cyberattack grows

12-17-20

Hackers have breached America’s nuclear weapons stockpile, bringing grave risk to the U.S. government. Homeland Security issued a warning today. And a cybersecurity expert says there’s little doubt the hackers were from Russia.

Vox.com wrote:

How the US government hack happened, and what it means, explained by an expert

12-18-20

“This has only started,” Columbia University’s Jason Healey told Vox.

Suspected Russian government hackers breached the computer networks of the US Defense Department. The Commerce Department. The Treasury Department. The State Department. Homeland Security. Even the part of the Energy Department that oversees America’s nuclear arsenal.

And it appears they’ve had access since as far back as March.

It’s one of the largest and most brazen hacks in American history — and it may just be the beginning of a much larger global espionage effort.

What makes it even more troubling is that it’s still unclear precisely what they got access to. Some experts believe it may take years before the hackers are completely out of the US government’s networks and the full extent of their spying efforts are understood.

Some have said our nuclear launch codes were breached.

The FBI, the CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a joint statement on Wednesday night, December 16th, confirming they became aware “over the course of the past several days” of “a significant and ongoing Cybersecurity campaign” targeting US government agencies through SolarWinds software.

Cyberscoop.com wrote:

In the wake of the SolarWinds breach, the National Security Council has activated an emergency cybersecurity process that is intended to help the government plan its response and recovery efforts, according to White House officials and other sources.

The move is a sign of just how seriously the Trump administration is taking the foreign espionage operation, former NSC officials told CyberScoop.

The action is rooted in a presidential directive issued during the Obama administration known as PPD-41, which establishes a Cyber Unified Coordination Group (UCG) that is intended to help the U.S. government coordinate multiple agencies’ responses to the significant hacking incident.

So what happened?

The SolarWinds breach — in which suspected Russia-backed hackers concealed malware in software updates by SolarWinds, a company that serves U.S. government and private sector entities — has reportedly compromised targets in the National Institutes of Health and the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, Defense, State and Homeland Security.

The breach is still being investigated. But the early signs indicate the reach of the stealthy supply-chain attack will have substantial aftershocks; SolarWinds claims to have 300,000 customers, including the National Security Agency, all five branches of the U.S. military, and entities in the health, technology, telecommunications, media and finance sectors.

Cybersecurity expert Jason Healey from Columbia University said:

The Russians, knowing they would struggle mightily to get into hard targets — the US government and also members of the Fortune 500 — instead found that they all used the same software for network management, made by a company called SolarWinds.

Rather than trying to come in the front door, they hacked SolarWinds and inserted their own code into the software. Then SolarWinds signed it and said, “Yes, this is authentic SolarWinds software.” Then all of those targets, and surely European and other democratic governments, also downloaded and accepted that Trojan horse unknowingly — and it’s been sitting there for months.

Oh. And they hit Microsoft also. Which means you. And me.

Lou Dobbs spoke on the 17th with Morgan Wright, former Senior State Department Security Advisor.

Add to all of this the carrier groups that have been placed off of both American coasts, the rumors of Chinese troops in Canada, the indicator that an F-16 pilot was killed in a Michigan crash on Tuesday, December 8th — and rumblings seem to suggest that he was shot down.

There were also rumors of a nuclear Chinese sub captured off the coast of Nova Scotia. And that the Biden family is somehow linked to the cyber attack. Notions that I wouldn’t kick out of my bed for eating crackers.

And, Attorney General William Barr has indicated he is leaving the Trump administration soon, and that he would not be recommending an independent or Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden’s laptop. Nor would he be going after any kind of voter fraud investigation.

This story from Forbest.com might shed some light on that.

How Attorney General Bill Barr Built A $40 Million Fortune

by Dan Alexander, 7-19-20

William Barr made his name serving as attorney general for two presidents, George H. W. Bush and Donald J. Trump. But he made his fortune out of office, collecting more than $50 million in compensation as an executive and director for some of America’s largest companies.

Today Barr, who did not comment for this story, has an estimated net worth of $40 million, after accounting for taxes, personal spending and modest investment returns. That figure is more precise than what’s on Barr’s public financial disclosure report, a document that deals only in broad ranges and shows assets worth somewhere between $24 million and $74 million.

Alright. When, where and how?

The money started piling up around 1993, when Bush left the White House and Barr reentered the private sector. The next year, Barr became general counsel at telephone giant GTE Corporation. When GTE merged with Bell Atlantic to form Verizon in 2000, Barr stayed onboard as executive vice president and general counsel. From 2001 to 2007, he raked in an average of $1.7 million in annual salary and bonuses, according to documents filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission. Barr also received valuable stock options, some of which he traded while at the company, collecting an estimated $3 million after taxes from 2003 to 2007.

“The private sector been belly-belly good to me.”

The Verizon job came with other benefits. Barr got a $31,000 flexible spending allowance, $10,000 or so for financial planning, plus use of the company jet for personal purposes. The biggest benefit, however, came upon retirement. Barr stepped down from the company at the end of 2008, receiving a $17.1 million distribution from Verizon’s income deferral plan, according to an SEC filing. On top of that, company documents also detail an additional $10.4 million separation payment for Barr.

One might conclude that William Barr is not hurting for cash.

Retiring did not mean Barr was done working. The year after he left Verizon, he joined the boards of two publicly traded companies, Dominion Resources and Time Warner. From 2009 to 2018, Dominion paid Barr $1.2 million in cash and granted him another $1.1 million in stock awards, according to SEC filings.

Wait. Did you say Dominion? The company that owns voting machines?

Time Warner paid him $970,000 in cash and $1 million in equity awards for serving on its board from 2009 to 2016,  when the company agreed to combine with AT&T. That deal was lucrative for Barr—he disclosed $1.7 million of income related to it on his financial disclosure report. But the merger was troubling to Trump, whose Justice Department tried to block it. During his confirmation hearing, Barr promised to recuse himself from the case as attorney general.

Barr also served on the board of Och-Ziff Capital Management, joining in 2016, the same year a firm subsidiary pled guilty to conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Och-Ziff agreed to pay $412 million in penalties. It also paid Barr $190,000 in cash and $530,000 in stock awards from 2016 to 2018. The attorney general no longer serves on the boards of Och-Ziff,  Dominion Resources or Time Warner.

The board. Of Dominion Resources.

Ahem.

Smell test?

As I’ve said numerous time, “you can’t write shit like this.”

BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, Thursday, 12-17-20, with PROFESSOR MIKE JONES and GABRIELLE INGRAM

Posted on by

Hour 1: BZ talked with Constitutional expert, Professor MICHAEL JONES, about the recent denial by SCOTUS to hear the Texas case involving election fraud, what it means, and why he said he’s terribly disappointed in SCOTUS for refusing to do the job for which it was created.

Professor JONES went into great detail about the Texas case, Constitutional law, and then went into more detail about what will happen on January 6th and then — so few people know this — in March.

After that, community activist GABRIELLE INGRAM returned to the Saloon in order to provide an update on how the County of Sacramento is handling Wuhan-19 lockdowns and how their plan was to originally levy fines up to $10,000 for struggling county businesses and, apparently, individual citizens. Please listen to her update, then visit her Facebook page, the group STAND UP SACRAMENTO COUNTY.

Don’t take the repeal of our freedoms and liberties lying down. GABRIELLE INGRAM is a citizen activist and you can be too. Withdraw your consent to be governed by Leftist authoritarians.

Finally, BZ played this rather succinct yet bombshellistic video wherein Patrick Byrne is interviewed, stating he was the bagman in terms of setting up Hillary Clinton for bribes — after she had already taken millions of dollars in bribes from Turkey. Watch.

Then there was this, released on Thursday night after the show, via Twitter.

Patrick Byrne better check the lug nuts on his car every time he travels, and better look under his car at the same time. “Suicides” are rising these days as well, we note.

BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, Tuesday, 12-1-20: Election Fraud

Posted on by

Hours 1 and 2: BZ talked about election fraud, and provided numerous audio cuts from the 11-30-20 Arizona Legislative Hearing, as well as the 12-1-20 Michigan Legislative Hearing!

Plus: a Dominion Voting Systems contractor reveals how she was taught to cheat, personally, by the VP of Dominion! You didn’t hear THIS from the American Media Maggots! Listen to the video below as well.

BZ began with another update about SHR Media. We are losing the SHR Media studio, as the house in which it is located is being sold come January. SHR is out of a studio, and Sack Heads SHAUN is out of a residence, as the studio is a room of the apartment in which he lives.

That said, BZ has found a way to keep the SHR Media Network, and a place to move the SHR studio! Good news!

BZ just became aware of this video from a Dominion Voting Systems contractor, as she describes the blatant fraud she personally witnessed on election night.

“Melissa Carone, the IT contractor for Dominion Software has completely changed the game for not only Michigan election fraud but for Dominion as well. She testified that she was personally trained by Nick Ikonomakis VP of Dominion development, on how to properly cheat.”

BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, Tuesday, 11-24-20, with JACK ALEXANDER, from Oz

Posted on by

Hours 1 and 2: BZ spoke again to the sapient JACK ALEXANDER, and took phone calls from listeners tonight!

BZ began with an update about SHR Media. We are losing the SHR Media studio, as the house in which it is located is being sold come January. SHR is out of a studio, and Sack Heads SHAUN is out of a residence, as the studio is a room of the apartment in which he lives.

Likely we’ll never find another stellar deal on rent: a mere $100 a month for a large room, bathroom, and access to other rooms, a beautiful porch, in a tony residential neighborhood.

SHAUN being homeless aside, BZ now has to examine a new plethora of facts considering SHR.

  • First, we are losing the studio.
  • Second, Sack Heads CLINT is not returning to SHR due to job commitments.
  • Third, SHAUN is leaving Kalifornia and will no longer be available for shows or tech support.

That leaves BZ with these options:

  • Carry on with the SHR Media Network, just in another location;
  • Drop the SHR Media Network completely;
  • Create an entirely new network and attempt to entice current SHR hosts to it;
  • Or kill SHR and transfer the Saloon to another network.

This couldn’t have come at a worse time, as a host of other problems are being encountered by BZ and SHAUN, from cash to environment to life conditions. #2020.

BZ is going to try to keep the network, change little, keep all the rest of the great hosts, and perhaps move the studio into his home.

Sadly, already, JEFF DUNETZ is leaving SHR Media.

BZ at least attempted to provide a modicum of levity at the beginning.

We then talked about the massive deplatforming of Conservatives. JACK and BZ spoke of 2021 and 2022, what it means, and about the elitist Leftist hypocrisy regarding Wuhan-19. Fret not; all is far, far from lost.

How long before BZ is de-platformed? How long before YOU?

Posted on by

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.

BZ
