Prepare…

“We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.” ~ Mike Vanderboegh

Right now, President Trump is watching how the Republican party is responding to the brutal and transparent evidence of election fraud from coast to coast…

As CTH has said since our inception, there is only one way out of this mess. Accept the UniParty as a functional one-party apparatus within Washington DC, and start getting serious about a genuine Second Party.  Form the “Rebel Alliance”.

A MAGA inspired party would not be a third party because there is currently only one party in Washington DC. Thankfully, a larger portion of the American electorate is now awake to a situation that has existed since long before Donald Trump entered the political arena. Heck, THAT REALITY of a singular globalist/Wall Street ideology is the entire reason why Donald Trump ran for office in the first place.

As of this writing the indefatigable leader of the MAGA movement gathered 74 million votes for his re-election, and still climbing. Subtract the fraudulent and manipulated ‘mail-in’ ballots from the Biden operation and you have a reality of 74 million MAGA army members staring toward an opposition front containing battalions of cardboard cutouts.

No amount of media spin is going to change the reality of that political landscape.

Regardless of whether Donald Trump’s legal arsenal is able to overcome the entrenched media operations drum-beating a deafening noise to distract from the 2020 fraud, that MAGA army is solidly behind our leader.

If President Trump takes that army into a new political party of his choosing, that new party is structurally set to lay waste to any candidate within both wings of the Democrat and Republican assembly.  A Trump inspired new political party can wipe out the illusion of the Democrat/Republican two-party system; specifically because much of the Trump movement consists of former democrats and brand new voters.

The MAGA coalition is the most diverse, widest and deepest part of the entire American electorate. President Trump’s Main Street army consists of every creed, color, race, gender, ethnicity and orientation. It is a truly color-blind coalition of middle America patriots and middle-class voters that cuts through the political special interest groups.

Quite simply Trump’s MAGA army is the ultimate political splitter party.

No Republican will ever hold office in the next decade without the blessing of President Trump; and there is absolutely no reason to believe President Trump will not lay waste to the system if the GOP acquiesces to the transparent fraud that exists behind the Biden-Harris sham.

Beyond the politics… this 74 million vote assembly are consumers of products, goods and services generated by the same elites that hold them in contempt.  If President Trump transfers and directs that energy corporations can be wiped out.

There is no precedent here.  Seventy-four to one-hundred million angry Americans resolved to a common objective is not something to be trifled with.

We do not yet know where this current political crisis and ongoing battle is going to end; but we do know that 74,000,000+ Americans will not accept the outcome of a political process transparently filled with fraud and manipulation. That makes President Trump a very dangerous entity to the DC system, regardless of whether they admit what surrounds them.

There is no reference point for a hundred-million Americans being disenfranchised by Wall Street, bribery, corporations, media and big tech. That army is fuel for a stunning and cataclysmic shift in the American political landscape.

Prepare yourselves accordingly…

This is good news.  Earlier this morning Trump campaign attorney Jenna Ellis announce a judge in 13th Circuit Court in Michigan, has allowed a forensic audit of the 22 Dominion ballot counting systems used in Antrim County.  [Media Report Here]

The forensic examination took place Sunday with Bailey, Antrim County Clerk Sheryl Guy, county administrator Pete Garwood, county attorney Haider Kazim, three county commissioners, a county IT technician and a member of the Sheriff’s department, said county spokesman Jeremy Scott in a release.

Also present, according to Scott, were seven members of the Allied Security Operations Group, a group affiliated with Trump’s litigation team. In the court order, the evidence cited by Bailey comes from a report from the group. (full story)

DeKalb County Georgia, Ballot Custody Records Missing


Posted originally on The Conservative tree house on December 6, 2020 by sundance

Sketchy Business – Throughout Georgia 300 drop boxes were used to collect absentee ballots in the November 2020 general election. The rather unusual ballot collection system was authorized under Georgia Election Code Emergency which was passed in July 2020.

According to the legal requirements every absentee ballot drop box collection team “shall complete and sign a ballot transfer form upon removing the ballots from the drop box, which shall include the date, time, location and number of ballots.”

After election officials began being challenged on several aspects related to unusual behavior within the Georgia election, the Georgia Star sent record requests to key counties asking for copies of the legally required chain of custody, the ballot transfer forms, for the collection boxes.

Most responses were received in a timely manner; however, DeKalb county said they need more time, and appears to have broken the chain of custody requirement.

This is additionally interesting as DeKalb county was a specific target for funding from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg who sent $4.8 million to them in order to hire “additional staff, voting and mail ballot equipment.” When questioned by The Georgia Star a lawyer for the county responded with a rather unusual answer.

[…] DeKalb County response instead came from an Assistant County Attorney.

It strains credulity to suggest that the election director of DeKalb County cannot say whether or not the legally required ballot transfer forms exist in 30 seconds, not the 30 days the county says it needs to be able to answer that question. (read more)

On December 4th the Trump campaign filed an election contest in Georgia, alleging violations of state laws in the 2020 election. President Trump held a rally yesterday in Valdosta and stated widespread fraud likely occurred in the state.

Georgia, Y’all Got a Problem

A very interesting video interview where cofounder of VoteGA, Garland Favorito, drills  down into the more granular Georgia voting and ballot tabulating issues revealing some interesting evidence and data.

Ware County, Georgia, conducted a hand count of ballots after they were run through the tabulating machines containing Dominion software.  What they discovered was an actual difference between the ballots and the results from the tabulation machine.  37 votes moved from Trump to Biden creating a 0.26% shift in the total vote.

Garland Favorito explains how the errors are not attributable to any other process other than an algorithm built into the counting software tabulating the ballots.  When Favorito was scheduled to testify before the state legislature, the republican leader of the committee blocked his testimony.  Listen to this interview starting at 04:00  WATCH:

Keep in mind this .26% algorithmic shift can be modified to any percentage based on the targeted precinct or county.  Additionally, as Favorito notes, this empirical result has currently only been identified in Ware County because other counties did not track their own data and relied exclusively on the Dominion tabulation result.  There’s no telling how far this algorithmic issue would extend.

Sunday Talks, Rudy Giuliani Discusses Status of Several State Election Lawsuits


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 6, 2020 by sundance

Trump campaign team lawyer Rudy Giuliani appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the status of several state lawsuits. Giuliani focuses his initial comments toward the state of Georgia where several serious issues have been shown within the peach state election.

Additionally, Giuliani notes the overall instructions had to be coordinated by a central plan because the exact same processes were carried out simultaneously across several regions in exactly the same way.  The former New York Mayor suspects that DC was the origination of the plan.  “They didn’t do it everywhere. They did it in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Milwaukee and Atlanta.”  “Places where there is a lot of corruption.”

Report: FBI Raided Maricopa County Residence to Retrieve Evidence of Cyber Intrusion into Voting Systems…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 6, 2020 by sundance

There is an interesting article in Forbes today about a previously unknown FBI raid in Maricopa County, Arizona, where agents seized computers, hard drives, USB sticks and electronic devices in connection with a cyber intrusion into election systems.

The Maricopa County Registrars office reports more than 2.5 million registered voters are within the system that appears to have been the targeted office of the intrusion.

The FBI isn’t talking, and the story only surfaced as an outcome of one part, the search warrant, of a sealed court filing.  Forbes Story Here

[…] “The Justice Department in Arizona told Forbes it couldn’t comment. An FBI spokesperson said they could neither confirm nor deny any investigation. The full scope of the investigation and the breach of Maricopa County’s website remains under seal.” (more)

Considering what the past several years have revealed about the FBI; and considering the recent evidence of the FBI purposefully burying information from within the Hunter Biden laptop for over a year; it seems entirely possible this Arizona FBI effort was more intended to hide the reality of election vulnerabilities and intrusions, as opposed to investigating them?

How sad is it that we carry such unfortunate perspectives in our mind?

The FBI now more closely resembles, essentially, what we previously called Soviet-era “state police”.   FUBAR.

The ‘Great Reset’ Changing Life As We Live It



We can only hope and pray that the Great Reset remains where its father Maurice Strong is—dead and buried

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Judi McLeod —— Bio and ArchivesDecember 6, 2020

There’s nothing fresh, green or the least bit life-saving about the coming, so called ‘Great Reset’ because it comes to us directly from the grave—the grave of mad man Canadian UN Poster Boy Maurice Strong, whose chokehold on human society remains a fact even after his death. 

In 86 years of life, Strong could be described as a mad man because who else but a mad man could ever state: “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” (Maurice Strong, 1992)

“At the Rio Earth Summit Strong that same year he added, “Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, air-conditioning, and suburban housing – are not sustainable.”

Strong was working to make China—replacing America—as the world’s economic superpower

But irrefutable proof of his own “sustainability” lingers on long after his death.

Strong passed away in 2015, but before departing Mother Earth, he passed his mad mantle of manufactured sustainability on to Klaus Schwab Founder and Executive Chairman, of the World Economic Forum:

“I am deeply saddened that Maurice Strong passed away yesterday at the age of 86”-Schwab, Nov. 29, 2015. “He was one of the most extraordinary personalities I ever met.

“He deeply incorporated the World Economic Forum’s mission of improving the state of the world into everything he did. He was a great visionary, always ahead of our times in his thinking. He was my mentor since the creation of the Forum: a great friend; an indispensable advisor; and, for many years, a member of our Foundation Board. Without him, the Forum would not have achieved its present significance.”

Long since forgotten, at the time of his death Strong was working to make China—replacing America—as the world’s economic superpower.

Did he know back then that a China Wuhan Flu pandemic would provide the fossil fuel to jumpstart the Great Reset a little more than four years later?

With help from the Marxist-loving media, the globalists are trying to pass off the real-as-your-skin Davos Global Economy/UN 2030  “Great Reset” as just another conspiracy of the chattering classes. (Global Risk Community, July 17, 2020)

But above all, this is a conspiracy of their very own that is reality nightmarishly true.

“For those wondering what will come after the Covid19 pandemic has successfully all but shut down the entire world economy, spreading the worst depression since the 1930s, the leaders of the premier globalization NGO, Davos World Economic Forum, have just unveiled the outlines of what we can expect next. These people have decided to use this crisis as an opportunity.

“On June 3 via their website, the Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) unveiled the outlines of their upcoming January 2021 forum. They call it “The Great Reset.” It entails taking advantage of the staggering impact of the coronavirus to advance a very specific agenda. Notably enough, that agenda dovetails perfectly with another specific agenda, namely the 2015 UN Agenda 2030. The irony of the world’s leading big business forum, the one that has advanced the corporate globalization agenda since the 1990s, now embracing what they call sustainable development, is huge. That gives us a hint that this agenda is not quite about what WEF and partners claim.”

The Great Reset

Is there another, albeit inadvertent hint about how long the pandemic will take to wind down in the WEF having postponed their January 2021 Forum until summer?

“On June 3 WEF chairman Klaus Schwab released a video announcing the annual theme for 2021, The Great Reset. It seems to be nothing less than promoting a global agenda of restructuring the world economy along very specific lines, not surprisingly much like that advocated by the IPCC, by Greta from Sweden and her corporate friends such as Al Gore or Blackwater’s Larry Fink.

“Interesting is that WEF spokespeople frame the “reset” of the world economy in the context of the coronavirus and the ensuing collapse of the world industrial economy. The WEF website states, “There are many reasons to pursue a Great Reset, but the most urgent is COVID-19.” So the Great Reset of the global economy flows from covid19 and the “opportunity” it presents.

“In announcing the 2021 theme, WEF founder Schwab then said, cleverly shifting the agenda:

“We only have one planet and we know that climate change could be the next global disaster with even more dramatic consequences for humankind.”

 “The implication is that climate change is the underlying reason for the coronavirus pandemic catastrophe.

“To underscore their green “sustainable” agenda, WEF then has an appearance by the would-be King of England, Prince Charles. Referring to the global covid19 catastrophe, the Prince of Wales says,

“If there is one critical lesson to learn from this crisis, it is that we need to put nature at the heart of how we operate. We simply can’t waste more time.”

Radical changes

On board with Schwab and the Prince is the Secretary-General of the UN, Antonio Guterres. He states,

“We must build more equal, inclusive and sustainable economies and societies that are more resilient in the face of pandemics, climate change and the many other global changes we face.”

“Make no mistake, the Great Reset is no spur-of-the moment idea of Schwab and friends. The WEF sponsors have big plans:”…the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a “Great Reset” of capitalism.” This is big stuff.

Schwab reveals more of the coming agenda: “…one silver lining of the pandemic is that it has shown how quickly we can make radical changes to our lifestyles. Almost instantly, the crisis forced businesses and individuals to abandon practices long claimed to be essential, from frequent air travel to working in an office.” 

“He suggests that those radical changes be extended: “The Great Reset agenda would have three main components. The first would steer the market toward fairer outcomes. To this end, governments should improve coordination… and create the conditions for a “stakeholder economy…” It would include “changes to wealth taxes, the withdrawal of fossil-fuel subsidies, and new rules governing intellectual property, trade, and competition.”

“The second component of the Great Reset agenda would ensure that, “investments advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability.” Here the WEF head states that the recent huge economic stimulus budgets from the EU, USA, China and elsewhere be used to create a new economy, “more resilient, equitable, and sustainable in the long run. This means, for example, building ‘green’ urban infrastructure and creating incentives for industries to improve their track record on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.”

“Finally the third leg of this Great Reset will be implementing one of Schwab’s pet projects, the Fourth Industrial Revolution: “The third and final priority of a Great Reset agenda is to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good, especially by addressing health and social challenges. During the COVID-19 crisis, companies, universities, and others have joined forces to develop diagnostics, therapeutics, and possible vaccines; establish testing centers; create mechanisms for tracing infections; and deliver telemedicine. Imagine what could be possible if similar concerted efforts were made in every sector.” The Fourth Industrial Revolution includes gene-editing biotech, 5G telecommunications, Artificial Intelligence and the like.

“…Lest we forget, the curiously well-timed New York pandemic exercise, Event 201 on October 18, 2019 was co-sponsored by the World Economic Forum and the Gates Foundation. It was based on the idea that, “it is only a matter of time before one of these epidemics becomes global—a pandemic with potentially catastrophic consequences. A severe pandemic, which becomes “Event 201,” would require reliable cooperation among several industries, national governments, and key international institutions.” The Event 201 Scenario posited, “outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. 

FEAR Can Open the Door To Ending The Republic


From the very moment the hijacked election is certified and approved, America will be known as the great lie

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Rick Hayes —— Bio and ArchivesDecember 6, 2020

Our form of government provides that citizens are lawfully allowed to vote for any candidate in whom they so choose. This unique system saw millions of Americans vote for whoever they wanted and for an array of reasons. 

Millions of Americans voted for Donald Trump to once again be President. Some did this, not because they particularly liked the man, although some did, but because they enjoyed the direction in which the country moved.

These Americans appreciated high employment numbers, lower gas prices, more stability in the Middle East, etc.

Then there were millions of Americans voted for Joe Biden to be President. Not because they particularly liked the man, although some did, but because they did not like Donald Trump.

These Americans were blinded by hate to such an extent that they unknowingly jeopardized their freedoms to satisfy their hatred. 

Then, a smaller group of Americans voted for Joe Biden to be President, not because they particularly liked the man, but because they wanted to see the American Republic radically transform into a socialist country. 

This smaller group of Americans acted out of ignorance regarding a Constitutional Republic’s greatness and, for the most part, were taught an incorrect and distorted view of socialism and its inevitable damage.

Finally, there were those in a much smaller group who wanted Joe Biden as President because they wanted to keep the swamp’s business perpetually alive. This small but influential group purchased their way to a corrupt conclusion.

These individuals quickly created an election system loaded with potential problems, even without corruption.

But because President Trump’s lead was beyond what they thought it would be, they had to adjust “on the fly,” which caused their unlawful actions to become exposed. 

Now, Americans who voted for President Trump must decide their next course of action. Some, out of fear, may accept the fraudulent results so that the Republic may survive, even if that means having a fake Republic, a Republic in name only.

These fearful Americans will experience a temporary reprieve. But, America can never be the same. If the stolen election is allowed to stand, from this point on, as long as there is an America, it will be a false country with pretend laws and bogus promises.

True, in the immediate future, there will be less or no violence in the streets. The country will move forward, and Biden will become the 46th President. Perhaps the radical proposed programs of the hard left will not take place, or maybe they will. It doesn’t matter. Under such conditions, under the facade of peace, there will always be resentment and distrust.

From the very moment the hijacked election is certified and approved, America will be known as the great lie. A pretend Republic without real morals or real justice. America’s statues will look less majestic. Her courts will take on a darker perception, and Her extraordinary history discounted and seen as ultimately a failure.

And those fearful Americans will have the order they crave, the daily routines they depend on, but they will always live in an artificial imitation Republic from which they can never emerge.

DOJ Should AGAIN Use RICO Statute to Prosecute Democrat Party Swing-State Election Fraud


DOJ Should AGAIN Use RICO Statute to Prosecute Democrat Party Swing-State Election Fraud

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Kelly OConnell —— Bio and ArchivesDecember 6, 2020

In processing our massive 2020 presidential election theft crisis, America does have another option. The DOJ’s RICO statute, created for organized crime has been used for e-vote election frauds. In 2009, a number of Clay County Kentucky election officials, including candidates, poll workers and judges were convicted for rigging elections, exactly like today. We MUST use this strategy again because this multi-state fraud is too large and detailed to treat fairly in a short period. Our Constitutional Republic will not survive this massive election fraud without quick Federal intervention.

RICO FRAUD PREDICATE: Enough fraud surfaced in Swing States to indicate a coordinated, interstate criminal undertaking exists for DOJ to declare a Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) investigation. Created October 15, 1970, to battle Mafia, RICO has been successfully used against many organizations, The claim is the Democrat Party has degenerated into a mafia-like organization, regularly breaking the law. Famously, on March 19, 2009, the DOJ announced: “Clay County KY Board of Election Officials Arrested and Indicted for Racketeering and Voter Fraud Conspiracy.” 

RICO PREREQUISITES: There must be “Racketeering” organized to break Fed or state law. “Defined as a “pattern of racketeering activity” if there is a violation of any two or more enumerated existing state or federal offenses.” DOJ states: “An “enterprise” is any individual, partnership, corp, association, or other legal entity, and any union or group of individuals associated in fact although not a legal entity. 18 U.S.C.A. §1961(4).” 

RICO OFFENSE: There must be RICO offenses included, including 35 separate crimes, including: Any act of bribery, counterfeiting, theft, embezzlement, fraud, obstruction of justice, etc. Those prosecuted with RICO include Hell’s Angels, Mike Milken, Catholic Church, Key West, FL Police Dept, Major League Baseball, LA Police Dept, and Clay County Board of Election Officials.

E-VOTE FRAUD: RICO & CLAY COUNTY ELECTION BOARD OFFICIALS PROSECUTION: After examining Democratic Party fraud (indictment), the DOJ press release stated

LEXINGTON—The United States Attorney’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation jointly announced today that five Manchester, Ky. officials, including the circuit court judge, the county clerk, and election officers were arrested pursuant to a federal indictment that accused them of using corrupt tactics to obtain political power and personal gain.

The 10-count indictment, unsealed today, accused the defendants of a conspiracy from March 2002, until November 2006, that violated the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). RICO is a federal statute that prosecutors use to combat organized crime. The defendants were also indicted for extortion, mail fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to injure voters’ rights and conspiracy to commit voter fraud. 

According to the indictment, these alleged criminal actions affected the outcome of federal, local, and state primary and general elections in 2002, 2004, and 2006.The indictment accused the defendants of the following criminal actions. 

E-VOTE MACHINE TAMPERING: The prosecution described vote machine tampering: 

“Clay County Clerk, Freddy Thompson, 45, allegedly provided money to election officers to be distributed by the officers to buy votes and he also instructed officers how to change votes at the voting machine. The indictment also accused Thompson of false testimony before a grand jury in Lexington.”

WHY RICO NOW? In the 2020 presidential election, the sheer number of apparent crimes, their variety, the distant sites, the obvious coordination of vote fraud, and most of all the incredible time crunch means we need an emergency solution. That the countless acts of deception and theft all occurred the same time late on Nov. 3rd 2020 proves coordination. The fraud is so ambitious, large and far flung, this crime demands RICO. When one realizes the incredible time crunch, we need the FBI & DOJ to sweep in and seize all related materials, interview tens of thousands of workers and witnesses. Therefore, speed is of the utmost importance. 

NEED FOR FORENSIC EXAMINATION: All involved machines must be given a forensic examination.  But first we need a national moratorium to freeze every part of this election in the 5 swing states. No one state or party should be allowed to decide this election by way of non-cooperation, destruction of evidence, or obfuscation. 

CALL & EMAIL LOCAL, STATE & DC: Call and email your legal representatives and demand a RICO inquiry. Time is of the essence. Immediately spread this message to everyone you know and help protect US elections from fraud & outside influence!

CTH 2.0 Update, Specifically Commenting and Notification Issues


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 5, 2020 by Sundance

Here is some background information about why people are having trouble commenting and/or seeing comments.  Please, please, p.l.e.a.s.e, book mark this post and share it because some people do not read the site updates and just go into the comments when the solutions and/or explanations are being provided.

Many people are complaining about not being able to see the totality of comments. Others are complaining their comments are not refreshing with the page.  There appears to be a very simple explanation and easy solution for this issue.

CTH 2.0 does not have any tracking software initiated to recognize the user in the comment system.  THERE ARE NO COOKIES deployed to track you.  There is no system in place by CTH to monitor you or recognize you.  This is part of our current privacy position.

What that means is you must initiate a process where YOU request to be recognized in the community.  We are not asking your permission to recognize you (ie. cookies) as with 99 percent of websites; you must intentionally engage the commenting system to say you are expressly desiring of recognition.

How do you achieve this status?  When you fill out the comment box there is a place for your user name, email address and then it asks you if you wish the site to: “Save my name, email and website in this browser for the next time I comment.”  It is a checkbox.

If you check that box [√] you are, in essence, applying a cookie to yourself.  You will then be recognized by the commenting software system and see the totality of the commenting conversation.  You will see all comments.

If you do not check that box [ ] you are not requesting to be recognized again, and you are dropping an isolated comment into the system.  You likely will not see the totality of the comments.  You will see only comments attributed to your comment or reply.

Think of it like walking up to the conversation on a porch:

If you affirmatively check [“save my name, email and website in this browser for the next time I comment”] you are saying to the audience, I have something to say and I am sticking around to hear all the other voices.

If you do not affirmatively check [“save my name, email and website in this browser for the next time I comment”] you are saying to the audience, I have something to say, but I am not sticking around to join the conversation or hear other voices.

It appears the software is designed such that if you are not affirming intent, the commenting system doesn’t anticipate your engagement in all the other comments. Ergo other comments do not appear and/or they are not populated in your experience.

This is a privacy and tracking issue.  CTH 2.0, as an independent website, is currently not tracking or applying any host generated tracking data of the participants.

Most websites do apply some version of tracking via “cookies” to make your engagement part of an active tracking system (make user experience easier); and/or use those cookies to deliver you targeted advertising.  CTH 2.0 has no advertising and no need for a system of targeting.

Due to the scale of emails complaining about this specific issue (approximately 400 today alone), the tech team is recommending that I switch to Disqus for the commenting program.  However, if we do that: (A) the same company that targeted us, Automattic, owns Disqus; and (B) without a doubt Disqus tracks users for tracking and targeting.

Some people do not care if they are comment tracked; others don’t care if Disqus is used because they are familiar with it from other websites.   However, for me that is an option of last resort and I will not deploy the free version of Disqus because I don’t want to open another door where a third party can start monitoring the conversation.  Especially when Automattic has already used the targeting of the original CTH to shut down our voice.

So, with all of that said.  Keep this solution in mind.  If you want to see all the comments, then check the [box] that says: “save my name, email and website in this browser for the next time I comment”, and hopefully that will eliminate the frustration you are encountering.  Fingers crossed.

All other commenting solutions encompass some form of server/host recognition and tracking of the user in the comments section.  The current system allows you to make that active decision; any other comment system will make that decision without your input.

Lastly, on the email notifications.  Again, we explain that currently we do not have an active email notification system for new posts in place.  The reason for the delay is again a matter of privacy.  An email auto-notification system is done by a third-party provider.

[…] One of our priorities right now is establishing an email notification system where you can subscribe to automatic notifications of new posts etc.  As with almost all systems of this type (there are many) it involves the use of a third party email transmission process. Y’all are aware that privacy is a CTH priority, so we are being very careful about vetting the service and setting up this notification system to protect CTH users.

CTH does not compile user information, does not engage in the manufacture of processes that assemble lists of users or any user data. We are working to ensure we do not end up creating an external list of subscribers that would be vulnerable to exploitation.  Your privacy in all matters related to CTH engagement is my priority.  (read more)

We received well over 100 emails today alone asking us: “where is the email notification system”?  The short answer is: we are working on it as a #1 priority.

Be of good cheer, all will be ok.

We cherish you.

Live your best life….  Remember, it’s the only one you will ever have.

Love to all,

~ Sundance
