Rumble Video Platform Moving Headquarters from Canada to Sarasota County, Florida


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 2, 2021 | Sundance | 105 Comments

The cleaving of Big Tech continues, only this time the move of company headquarters by the Rumble video hosting service appears to be a proactive move to avoid government intervention and regulations requiring platform providers to censor speech.  Rumble is moving from Toronto, Canada to Sarasota, Florida.

As noted by Glenn Greenwald, “Canada is actively creating laws to impose civil or even criminal liability on social media platforms that don’t censor enough,” as a result, any content platform provider could be subject to civil or criminal liability if they do not filter content based on ideological demands of the government.

Canada and the EU are both working on laws that will define acceptable speech and the various platform hosts who give a place for online content will be held accountable.  The goal of the left-wing ideology is to censor speech they view as against their interests (ex: COVID vaccination etc).  Not accidentally, this same framework to stop speech has now moved to the U.S. congress as ideological activists are creating the background for U.S. regulations.  That’s the motive behind Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen {Go Deep} who has testified and advocated for controls over speech in the U.S. and U.K (link).

This regulatory push to make tech platform providers like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and now alternative venues like Rumble, Telegram, Locals, Substack, etc subject to regulations, civil and criminal punishments by bureaucratic government panels, is actually the reason why CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed the company structure of Facebook.

The creation of “Meta” as the parent company of Facebook was fundamentally a risk management strategy, limiting liability, more than anything else.

Just like the example of the Exxon Valdez oil spill changing the corporate structure for oil companies, limiting liability by removing Exxon tanker ships from the larger parent company, and using leased contracts under subsidiary names, so too does Facebook limit their liabilities by isolating each platform division away from the company’s top line revenue.

Big Tech was/is colluding with  their government allies and censoring content on their platforms based on ideology.  However, with various alternatives now surfacing as a result of a massive purge by Big Tech, the need for government intervention to continue the censorship has become paramount.  Canada and the EU are both working on regulations to fulfill this objective.  The owners of Rumble are smart to make a proactive move away from those regulations.

(Herald-Tribune)  Toronto-based video platform Rumble, which is popular among conservative viewers, will establish its U.S. headquarters on Longboat Key.

The platform provides video creators a way to host, manage, distribute and create feeds and monetize their content, according to Rumble’s website. Rumble has signed a lease for a property on Longboat Key, according to a press release announcing the move.

A representative of the Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County said at a County Commission meeting last week that a Canadian company was coming to Longboat Key, but the EDC did not reveal the name of the company until now.

“Moving to Longboat Key is a win-win for Rumble and the Sarasota community,” Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski said in the press release. “Sarasota County is growing rapidly, and we are excited to be part of the growth. We plan to fill 20-25 new positions in Florida immediately for our U.S. headquarters, with many more planned for the future. This move positions us to continue providing a platform to content creators without the threats from big tech monopolies. We are excited to invest in Florida in the coming years while we continue to grow Rumble.” (read more)

In the background of all internet communication, this discussion has been happening for years.  CTH has been active inside this conversation since our own deplatforming from WP/Automattic in 2020.

Creating communication systems, including the myriad of website systems, that are not subject to the ideological whims of internet tech companies is not an easy accomplishment.  However, it is getting better as more systems and platform providers are quickly coming online.  Oddly enough, there is a strong army of people who create the tech systems, the actual coders and design architects, who are independent and do not agree with the totalitarian outlooks of the Big Tech conglomerate.

Starting from a decade long deficit, the “Rebel Alliance” has made great strides in creating systems and tech infrastructure to remove the tentacles of Big Tech.

Servers and internet systems are now rapidly organizing to host content providers without fear of removal; however, there is still a long way to go.

Even the Left is Questioning Natural Immunity


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Nov 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Notoriously left Bill Maher is wondering why America denies the impact of natural immunity. “If [a firefighter] is willing to go into a burning building and says, ‘I’m just not that afraid of COVID and I don’t want to take the shot’ — that should be enough,” Caitlin Flanagan commented, defending her position that people who save lives should not be fired. “How do people from one party get such a bad idea, where did that come from?” Maher asks after reviewing the rates of hospitalization for the unvaccinated. Some Democrats are beginning to dissent from the Biden, Gates, and Schwab agenda. We saw how the party handled the recent spending bill, and the far-left is beginning to separate from the moderates.

For The First Time Ever New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is asked a Tough Question About Her Vaccine Position, She Melted on Camera


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 2, 2021 | Sundance | 58 Comments

New Zealand’s smiley faced Fascist Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is the female messiah to the global progressive movement. Everything about her is carefully controlled and scripted for public display; including her positions on COVID-19 mitigation, her insane lockdowns, geographic bubble dictates and her over-the-top vaccine mandate push.

Any journalist/’churnalist’ who does not stay inside the government approved guidelines for COVID questioning is removed from their job. In every extreme manner you would consider, the New Zealand government under the Ardern regime control everything the public is permitted to hear.

Today, Ardern traveled to the guarded proximity border between Auckland and Northland where she was justifying her quarantine enforcement zones. The guarded checkpoints are in place to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus, or so she claims. Ardern has never been publicly challenged to reconcile her continued claims that the vaccine will stop people from getting the COVID-19 virus, because the government controls who is permitted to ask questions.

Today, what I believe to be a pharmacist, attended one of her frequent press conferences and challenged her for the first time to explain her position. The man asking the questions cited the reality and scientific outcomes in the U.K. and Israel that show the vaccine does nothing to stop the spread of the virus or any variant. This was the very first time Prime Minister Ardern faced a question that was not from a controlled and approved media script.  WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (video at 10:00 prompted):

A visibly shaken Prime Minister Ardern could not handle being asked to reconcile her continued claims about vaccine efficacy against the reality that the vaccine does nothing to stop the spread of the virus.  She had to shut down the conversation, and the questioner was promptly the target of the government control agents.

VA Governors Race – Candidate Terry McAuliffe Closing Message, We Have Too Many White Teachers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 1, 2021 | Sundance | 174 Comments

Not exactly the closing message that a person might expect given the history of Democrats in Virginia.  For his closing message ahead of tomorrow’s election in the state of Virginia, Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe says the state needs to get rid of white teachers.

Apparently there are 50% minority students in Virginia and 80% white teachers.  According to McAuliffe, racial justice cannot be achieved as long as there are too many white people teaching children.  {Direct Rumble Video Link}

Apparently Virginia has evolved on race from “the content of character”, to ‘vote for me to get rid of white people’.  Strange, but it might not be a message from a stable minded campaign.  WATCH:

Corporate and Political Elite Gather at COP26 To Discuss How The Global Population Destroying The Planet – An Ideological Motive to Deploy a Mandatory Vaccine To Eliminate Human Lifespans


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 1, 2021 | Sundance | 620 Comments

If you really believed that man made global warming was real…. and if you really believed that global population growth was the “existential threat” to all humanity and life on the planet…. and if you were part of the elite group, multinational corporations and politicians, who run the socio-economic systems that sustain human existence….. then a strategy to eliminate the population by reducing the lifespan of people would be viewed internally as an altruistic endeavor to save the planet.

If that sounds like hyperbole, you likely have not listened to the impassioned speeches and pleas at the “Conference of the Parties 26” (COP26) assembly in Glasgow, Scotland today.

Humans, as an existential threat to planetary survival, was exactly the terminology used today by current White House occupant Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emanuel Macron, HRH Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, and her son heir to the throne, Prince Charles.

All of these global leaders called the people who populate the planet “an existential threat to mankind.”

Joe Biden said: “This is the challenge of our collective lifetimes. The existential threat to human existence as we know it. And every day we delay, the cost of inaction increases.  So let this be the moment that we answer history’s call” (link)

Prince Charles called for a military approach, a war footing and the assembly of multinational corporations united with politicians in dealing with the existential threat that people represent.  MUST WATCH:

The key point is this:  The global elite consider the population of the planet to be the problem.

Pause and think about that for a moment.  Man made climate change as an issue is only solvable, in its most dire of circumstances, by eliminating the root cause of the problem, people.

The global political elite wax philosophically about the issue, with increasing levels of severity according to their own definition of alarm signals, but their underlying problem is with a planet that is -according to their worldview- overpopulated.

Now, with that level of urgency behind what they claim to be the “existential threat”, what actions would they consider appropriate in order to save the planet?

This is where the fundamental question about why there is such a big push on the COVID-19 vaccination, that is wildly disproportionate to the risks from the virus itself, start to make a little more sense.

If you want to reduce the population, a key method would be to reduce the lifespan of the average human on the planet.

What exactly would a product do that is designed to reduce lifespan?

A product designed to reduce lifespan would likely attack or replace the body’s natural immune system.  This would leave the human immune system compromised so that ordinary ailments, viruses, diseases and illness would become much more deadly.

The human body’s natural reaction to attacking ordinary cancers would be compromised allowing cancer to grow and become more deadly.  By suppressing a natural immune system, or replacing it with a synthetic mRNA type immunity design, the natural ability of the human body to deal with illnesses would be weakened.  People would die more frequently and people would not live as long.

If people died more frequently, and/or people did not live as long, the objective of saving the planet from the existential threat -by reducing the population- could be achieved.

How do you get the human immune system compromised on a mass scale, in a global population consisting of billions of people?  WATCH:

The process to reduce life-expectancy, and save the planet, would explain why there is such a disproportionate push to get people vaccinated.

The virus was the premise.

The vaccine becomes the method.

That would explain why they have been pushing the vaccine so hard.

That would explain why they want to vaccinate kids who are not at risk from the virus.

.

CTH is not prone to conspiracy theories or dark imaginings.  CTH analyzes a multitude of disparate data patterns and connects dots in their most logical sequences.

This motive makes sense.

The scale of their anxiety underpins it.

The need for control is a reaction to fear.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio Celebrates Suspending 9,000 Non-Compliant Municipal Workers Due to Vaccine Mandate

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio took a victory lap today in celebration of losing 9,000 municipal workers and first responders as the deadline for taking the mandatory vaccination has lapsed. More than 2,000 of the city’s 11,000 uniformed firefighters have taken sick days in the week leading up to the mandate going into effect.

“New York City’s fire department is lagging behind its fellow city agencies on vaccinations, with the mayor confirming at a press conference that the fire department had the lowest vaccination rate of select city agencies, at 77 percent as of Monday.” (read more)

Judge Blocks Chicago Police Vaccination Mandate, Deadline for End of Year Vaccination Removed


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 1, 2021 | Sundance | 70 Comments

A major win for police union members in the Chicago area.   Citing an irrevocable harm that has no possibility for reversal if enacted, a judge has blocked the City of Chicago from enforcing a vaccine mandate for unionized police members.

CHICAGO – “A Cook County judge on Monday suspended the city of Chicago’s policy requiring that all of its police officers be vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of the year.

The ruling is a major victory for police unions, who have held that the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate violates their collective bargaining agreements. Judge Raymond Mitchell ruled Monday that the mandate should be halted for police officers until those complaints can be settled in arbitration.

…[T]he judge said there would be no possible remedy after the mandatory deadline if the policy was ultimately found to violate the collective bargaining agreements.

“If every union member complied and was vaccinated by December 31 … they would have no grievance to pursue and there would be no remedy an arbitrator could award,” the judge wrote in his order. “An award of back pay or reinstatement cannot undo a vaccine. Nothing can.” (read more)

HERE’S THE MOVE – Joe Manchin Says NO DEAL, Pass the Preexisting Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, and Then Give Details on the BBB Social Spending Deal


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 1, 2021 | Sundance | 282 Comments

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin held a press conference moments ago to say he’s done with the insufferable chicanery within the legislative social spending bill, also called the “human infrastructure bill” or Biden’s “build back better” bill, or the “reconciliation bill”.

Nancy Pelosi has been sitting on the previously passed $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill that was passed by the House and Senate {Go Deep} but has refused to allow a vote until a bigger social spending bill -constructed using the reconciliation process to radically change the U.S. by the AOC radical communists in congress- can be attached.  For months the debate over how far the communists can push the social spending package has been argued and debated, today Joe Manchin tapped out.

Manchin has done today what he was always likely to do, and two issues triggered today as his moment.  The cherry in his construct is Biden’s current location. WATCH:

Now, let’s get to the politics of why Manchin is making his move….

It is not coincidental that Manchin makes this statement today, as the NBC poll showing massive drops in support for Joe Biden is being discussed widely.  Manchin knows he is sitting in a spotlight of an inflection point; Manchin is politically astute and cunning to the ways of politics.  Manchin comes across as meek and mild-tempered, a man of reasonable disposition… but that doesn’t accurately portray his cunning.  This is his chance to make a big move.

Senator Joe Manchin also knows that Democrats are going to implode as the Obama allied communist puppet masters behind Biden have a one term agenda to exploit their control over the dementia patient currently occupying the White House.  Manchin knows the collapse of the Democrat Party is his opportunity; he also knows THE REALITY behind the released Marist Poll [data here] showing a majority of non-communist Democrats want nothing to do with the senile occupant of the White House.

Manchin is making a BIG club move by positioning himself as reasonable right now.

Manchin is testing his strength against the strength of Nancy Pelosi.

Manchin will likely be the #1 contender in 2024, he knows it.

Manchin is cunning.

Manchin is not only reaching out to ‘moderate’ registered Democrats….

Manchin is reaching the minds of registered Republicans

Manchin is a very worthy adversary…

At 1:00am on August 25th, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats came to an agreement on a massive spending proposal.  The Senate previously passed a $1.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill, and a group of 9 House moderates -led by Josh Gottheimer- wanted to see it pass.  However, the far-left progressive caucus wanted their $3.5 trillion spending package which includes Green New Deal spending passed as part of the total budget agenda.

Representative Gottheimer’s group did not concur with the House $3.5 trillion spending proposal and saw no way for it to pass the Senate.

An internal deal was struck amid the Democrats for Gottheimer’s coalition to agree to advance a rules change with two conditions on that August 25th late night discussion {GO DEEP}:

(1) Pelosi would have to promise to bring the $1.5 infrastructure bill to a vote on September 27th; and (2) Any larger GND/”Human Infrastructure” bill  ($3.5 spending package) would need to be structured to pass the Senate.

Again, back on August 25th, the ‘moderate’ Marxists (for lack of a better term) could see that AOC’s progressive caucus spending bill was unlikely to pass the Senate in its current form.   To get the Gottheimer group on board, House Speaker Pelosi agreed to the two conditions, as negotiated.  To appease the AOC nuts, everyone agreed to tie both the $1.5 trillion infrastructure and the $3.5 trillion spending boondoggle together.

Fast forward through the next eight weeks. The Senate struggled to come to any agreement, as Senator Manchin (WV) and Senator Sinema (AZ), along with others, balked at the insufferable nature of the $3.5 trillion radical change blueprint that would remake the entire U.S. economy and end up with a massive $5+ trillion deficit.

Because the second point in Gottheimer’s deal (House bill must be able to pass the Senate) was not met, the entire process came unraveled.   Pelosi reneged on the promise to bring the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill to a vote on September 27th.  As the deadline passed, Pelosi tried to save face -en process- by saying the vote would be likely on Friday October 1st, that never happened.  Deadlines came and went without progress.

With public support for the office of the President collapsing at an astounding rate, Joe Biden attempted to insert himself and his weak-sauce leverage at the last minute.  It didn’t help.   The $3.5 trillion spending priority quickly turned into a dead fish, rotting in blueprint outline form without ever making it to ‘reconciliation’ legislative language.

Today, Joe Manchin moved to put Nancy Pelosi and the communists in check.

Manchin has the support of the House Democrats and House Republicans but not the communists or AOC.

Knight took queen off the board….

Like a fox…
