Notice From Eric Trump – All First Person Trump Content, in Trump Voice or Surrogate Statement, is Banned From Facebook and Instagram


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 31, 2021 | Sundance | 251 Comments

Wow.  Big Tech is taking the censorship and deplatforming of President Donald J Trump to entirely new levels according to new information provided by Eric Trump.  In  a twitter message today, Eric Trump shares the following:

(Source)

This is quite a stunning statement from Facebook; even considering the prior ideological position(s) of Big Tech.

If the message is accurate, anyone who speaks on behalf of Donald Trump, and/or anyone show shares communication, statements or official replies from the “voice” of Donald Trump, will have their content removed.  This applies to any/all campaign surrogates and spokespeople for President Trump.

This “guidance” is simply an outlandish position that only highlights how Big Tech views President Trump, and by extension his MAGA supporters, as a threat to advancing their political ideology.   Banning and removing content based on the origination of that content is a control effort on steroids.

Control is a reaction to fear, never forget that.

This approach is beyond fascism and far beyond socialism… this is totalitarianism.

I have never advocated for departure from any social media platform because I strongly believe we fight where the enemy is.  Retreat is not an option, fight them where they exist and do not pull-back from the ideological argument because MAGA is the message of the American majority.  Some may be inclined to withdraw from Facebook and Instagram based on this new “guidance” as expressed.  Fair enough…. However…..

If you have already made the decision to withdraw from the social media battlespace, let me propose another approach, MAKE THEM BAN YOU!

If mentally you have already made the decision to depart, there is nothing to lose.  Do not take your voice out of the fight, without making them target and remove your voice.  Proclaim your voice.  Proudly proclaim your position.  Do not just simply withdraw, make them deal with you as an insurgent or dissident voice in the ideological combat.

Taking this approach shows them our numbers.  Taking this approach forces them to see, forces them into engagement, and forces them to take action upon their chosen position.   Do not go quietly into that collectivist good-night.  Stand in the position of righteousness.   Stand defiantly and force them to remove you.  Do not just withdraw.

What approach that confrontation takes is entirely up to you.  However, one additional benefit is the community of your friends and family on those social media platforms will see what content their ideological hatred is opposed to.

Consider the example of CTH deplatforming.  By refusing to silence or moderate our voice with WordPress/Automattic we forced them to a position where they would have to take action to remove  that voice.  When WP/AutoMattic took that action they showed the world community what they were doing.  CTH had nothing to fear, we had done nothing wrong; we were transparent.  However, the audience who reviewed our analysis, and many of them are not in alignment with the CTH outlook, were stunned by the WordPress/Automattic decision.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.  Do not let the enemy succeed by walking away from the engagement.  Force them to surface.

If you have already chosen to disengage, you have nothing to lose.  Post pro-Trump content on your social media (FaceBook/Instagram), and share the Trump voice from him and surrogates as you would normally.  Do not voluntarily disengage.  Show them your voice, and by extention show them the size of our community.  Make them take the action.

Why Biden’s First Executive Order was Illegal


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Mar 30, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, you have been silent about the border crisis that Biden seems to have created while blaming Trump claiming the people were already on their way here. It seems like he shut down the funding simply because it was a Trump initiative. Would you comment, please?

HS

ANSWER: What Biden did was illegal. Trump made border wall construction a key 2016 campaign promise. He had to fight many battles with Congress over that bill. Interestingly, on his very first day in office, Biden used his executive authority to stop building the wall. That was ILLEGAL because Congress approved $1.4 billion for the measure as part of a $900 billion stimulus package bill to offset losses incurred by the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the problem. You will never know the real people who are running the country. They make up these executive orders, and Biden just signs them. Nobody bothered to check that the funding was authorized by Congress, which an executive order cannot nullify. Then they talk openly about giving illegal aliens citizenship, and a hoard of people are heading for the USA. You can bet that terrorists are also now sneaking in the same way.

If Congress passes a law, then the president cannot simply write an executive order that reverses the decision. What he did violated the very foundation of a republic, but the press will never challenge him on anything.

Glenn Greenwald Testifies to House Subcommittee About Big Tech and Media Aligned Censorship


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 12, 2021 | Sundance | 46 Comments

Journalist Glenn Greenwald appeared today before the House Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law holds a hearing entitled, “Reviving Competition, Part 2: Saving the Free and Diverse Press.”  Mr. Greenwald testified about the inherent dangers of Big Tech arbitrarily controlling speech, and the ideologically aligned media looking the other way.

One of the examples Greenwald uses to highlight the alignment is how Big Tech suppressed the New York Post and their factually evidenced and well documented Hunter Biden story; and how the aligned media apparatus then supported that silencing.   In essence, the institutions of the U.S. government are collapsing; the institutions of communication technology are advancing censorship without oversight; and the institutions of the Fourth Estate are completely compromised.

A specific example of what Glenn Greenwald describes is below:

Houston Police Chief going Rogue


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Mar 12, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

In Houston, Texas, despite the governor removing the mask ban, the rogue Police Chief Art Acevedo says he will still arrest people for not wearing a mask. This guy is taking the law into his own hands, and clearly should be stripped of all power. He claims that “Our officers are well-versed on the laws, there’s something called ‘criminal trespass’ here in the state of Texas, and if a business asks an individual to wear the mask and they refuse to leave, they can be arrested for criminal trespass.” He is obviously a Democrat, for he then elevated Fauci above the Governor saying that Fauci said that he believed people would need to continue wearing face masks into 2022. Hello, even the Washington Post said masks were “useless” and that was all the studies. Perhaps he should go to Washington and sign up as a National Guard to protect Fauci.

Disney Gone Crazy with Cancel Culture


Armstrong Economics Blog/Censorship Re-Posted Mar 12, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Disney is simply out of control. Things that have been around for generations are suddenly harmful. No, under the Cancel Culture that has taken Disney by storm, children under 7 will be forbidden from watching “Dumbo,” “Peter Pan” “Swiss Family Robinson” and the “The Aristocats.” As a kid, I grew up on Peter Pan and Mary Martin. What was so evil? A woman playing a boy? What about the rides at Disney with Dumbo or the Tree House of Swiss Family Robinson. Should they all now be demolished? I suppose the name Dumbo implies being dumb.

Gina Carano was fired by Disney because she tweeted that being a Republican/Conservative was like being a Jew in Nazi Germany – hunted down and seen as evil. She was fired for making such a comparison. Yet it is true. We have anyone who is “conservative” is now being demonized and canceled from social media. People like Pelosi and AOC are even calling Republicans the “enemy” within. The firing of Carno in itself prompted protests. But those who disagree with the cancel culture are themselves considered rejects from society unworthy of any opinion whatsoever.

Now everyone is offended by something that requires it to be canceled. I am offended by Marxism. Can we cancel the left now? I am also offended by a corrupt government. Can we ban Congress?

Others are calling for a total boycott of Disney. I suppose canceling all these things in and of itself offends others. So where does this end? This is following the very same strategies of how the Communists took over Russia – intimidation of free thought.

Tucker Carlson Responds To New York Times Journalist Claiming “Harassment”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 10, 2021 | Sundance | 48 Comments

against those who they disagree with.  However, if you dare to defend yourself or confront their ideological nonsense, you are “attacking” them and inciting “harassment” against them.  Essentially modern journalists are tender snowflakes who demand to be respected as they use their position as a weapon against those they disagree with.

After Tucker Carlson called out one of the New York Times reporters, the Times -yet again- claimed their journalist was being harassed.  It is a ridiculous circle of meaningless self-indulgent nonsense, as Tucker Carlson rightly noted earlier tonight.  WATCH:

These journalists really are a pathetic batch of moonbats.

Piers Morgan Responds to Critics and Defenders of Meghan Markle


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 10, 2021 | Sundance | 124 Comments

This ongoing saga is ridiculous, but it is one of the rare times when Piers Morgan is in alignment with common sense and the majority sentiment within his country.  Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are insufferable elites attempting to make their entitled selves into victims.  It is ridiculous.

People who have watched the way the Obama team use pop culture to advance Marxist political objectives have already seen through the ruse of the Meghan Markle comments with Oprah Winfrey.  It was not accidental the interview comments about racism were organized, timed and released to coincide with the George Floyd trial in Minnesota.  It’s how the cultural Marxists work.

If any group of people can see through to the orchestration of this, it is you, the CTH community.  We have researched the Obama use of racism as a political tool for years; that technique includes using media figures like Oprah.  The Chicago fingerprints of the familiar architects are clear as day on this ridiculous story.

Piers Morgan Departs ITV Good Morning Britain, Following Criticism of Meghan Markle


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 9, 2021 | Sundance | 281 Comments

British pundit Piers Morgan has always been skeptical of Meghan Markle based on his identified history of divisive relationships that seemed to circle her orbit.  The latest hit against the British crown by Ms. Markle and her simp Prince Harry has created division amid the British that is exactly the history Piers Morgan has previously described.

This morning the issues surrounding Ms. Markle’s purposeful attack against the crown were hotly debated amid the show Good Morning Britain; and now it appears ITV News and Piers Morgan have parted ways.  “Following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s landmark interview with Oprah Winfrey, today’s Good Morning Britain shared the reaction to the revelations, including those about Meghan’s suicidal thoughts and allegations of racism within the Royal family.”

Considering the Oprah angle; and considering Oprah is one of the primary conduits, advance agents and protectors of all things related to President Obama; it would not be surprising to discover that Obama’s team of Chicago provocateurs are in the close-background of the Markle network.  Useful division based on advancement of racist accusations is a classic Maoist approach to achieve modern Marxist outcomes.

The 2009 Christmas Tree ornament of Mao in the Obama White House is a small reference point with larger implications.

The international media are leftists by indoctrinated disposition, it is in their DNA to advance the ideology of far-left causes.  Division is a downstream consequence from the allied media supporting any cause cèlébre in alignment with the progressive left.  Piers Morgan has been on the cusp of the cancel culture for several years as he eventually supported the Brexit outcome and pushed-back against the extreme elements of his own tribe of leftists.

Twitter Sues Texas AG Ken Paxton for Investigating Their Censorship Practices – Watch This One Closely It Appears Twitter is Leveraging Their Alliance With FBI


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 9, 2021 | Sundance | 158 Comments

CTH spidey senses are on maximum alert on the background to this story.

On its face Twitter is suing Texas AG Ken Paxton for targeting them with inquiries into their practice of censorship and deplatforming.  The lawsuit baseline is essentially (and ironically) because Paxton is a government official, Twitter is claiming their ‘first amendment’ right to control speech on their private platform is under attack.

However, you might ask yourself why Twitter chose Paxton and not Florida Governor DeSantis or any other government official who is doing essentially the same thing as AG Paxton with their efforts against Big Tech.  This is where suspicious cat comes into play because there’s always another angle with these tech leftists…. you just need to know how to spot it.

Ken Paxton is under investigation by the FBI for an unrelated securities fraud case, and there has been a long-standing court battle underway.  If you have watched the ideological merge, the alliance of common interests between Big Tech leftists and DOJ/FBI leftists, you might consider the appearance of a convenient leverage situation here that would explain why Twitter selected Paxton.  [Insert Suspicious Cat Here]

ASSOCIATED PRESS – Twitter has filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, claiming the Republican used his office to retaliate against it for banning the account of former President Donald Trump following the riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Days after the deadly January insurrection, Paxton announced an investigation into Twitter and four other major technology companies for what he called “the seemingly coordinated de-platforming of the President.” The attorney general’s office demanded that the companies produce a variety of records related to their content moderation policies and troves of internal communications.

Twitter responded Monday with a federal lawsuit alleging Paxton is seeking to punish it for taking Trump’s account offline — a decision the social media company says is protected free speech. It asks a judge to declare the decision to be under the ambit of the First Amendment and to, in essence, halt Paxton’s investigation.

“Paxton made clear that he will use the full weight of his office, including his expansive investigatory powers, to retaliate against Twitter for having made editorial decisions with which he disagrees,” lawyers for the company wrote in the suit filed in a Northern California court.

Spokespersons for Paxton’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday evening.

Twitter’s counterpunch comes as states, in addition to federal lawmakers and governments outside the U.S., are cracking down on tech companies they see as having amassed too much power in the past decade. This includes antitrust and anti-monopoly regulation, internet privacy laws as well as attempts to regulate how platforms like Twitter, Facebook and others moderate their sites. (read more)

Burn Your Masks


Re-Posted from GrrrGraphics on MAR 9, 2021 AT 10:02 AM

Burning Masks Bad, Burning Books Good!

I sometimes listen to CNN in the background while I’m working during the day. I tune in to hear what the socialist Democrats’ latest talking points are, but usually my disgust makes me quickly change the channel.

I happen to catch a segment on CNN concerning a big rally held in Idaho. Many citizens and their children there were tossing their slave masks into a flaming barrel.

One of the females on the broadcast—either the anchor or the guest—remarked that the burning reminded her of something that would happen in Nazi Germany. This made me laugh out loud, because the left is behind the modern book burning and ‘cancel culture.’ The Bolsheviks want American culture destroyed to make it easier for people to worship big government without distraction. They are using the virus to drum up fear, which keeps people submissive and willing to do any ridiculous thing to make the fear go away. It irks them to see citizens waking up to their scam. Therefore, they hurl names at them such as ’neanderthal,’ and ’Nazi!’

It was good to see people finally pushing back against the masks of compliance. (Let’s hope they don’t comply with mandatory vaccinations either). The masks are useless as proven by science, but the ruling caste still wants everyone continuing to wear them as a sign of submission–even after receiving several doses of dangerous, experimental vaccines.

More people need to speak up and stand up against the medical tyranny that is mask wearing. Burn ‘em if you got ‘em!
