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.

The Danger of Deplatforming Trump


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Mar 31, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I really do not care if Karl Marx had a Twitter today and was posting all sorts of things. BigTech is censoring content that they do not like. This is destroying the internet and it always seems to come back to this idea of monopoly and control, no different than the robber barons of the late 19th century. When Facebook and Twitter first began, they were what us coders call open platform. There were people who were even setting up Twitter APIs. Then the robber baron idea took hold, which shut open access down and built a wall around their platform to create a monopoly.

The robber barons of the 19th century were seen as evil. Their ideas of control, competition, and monopolies are certainly alive and well today in Big Tech. The entire Anti-Trust action forced Bill Gates to step down as Microsoft’s dominant control was due to his constant drive to put any competition out of business. The case was over Netscape, which was really the first internet browser. To put them out of business, Gates included a browser for free.

The business model that all of these new robber barons use is to sell your private information to others. Microsoft constantly updates your computer, not for your benefit, but to see what you are searching for to create a profile to sell to others. Google tracks everything you search. Facebook does the same and all of these robber barons have systematically destroyed the internet. No one really understood what they were doing until they rigged the 2020 Presidential election when they permanently de-platformed Donald Trump in a deliberate move to prevent him from running again. They did the same to Nigel Farage in Britain when he was going to try to form another party. This time, they refused to cover anything he had in mind to ensure that the COVID-19 agenda would destroy the British economy. It is now a £5000 fine if you lie and take a vacation outside of Britain. They have created the new version of the Berlin Wall that should just be called Johnson’s Anti-Human Rights Wall.

The excuse to ban Trump was that the protest on the Capitol might lead to violence. Yet, Black Lives Matter protesters and Antifa protesters are routinely marching, yelling to burn the Capitol down, and that does not seem to be an issue. In Washington, the National Guard was armed. In Seatle, they were unarmed.

Among programmers, we have what is called “open source,” meaning you have access to the code to make alterations. The new Big Tech robber barons have shut down the internet and now have control to de-platform anyone at any time. They have destroyed the original design and purpose of the internet and pose a serious threat to our liberty and society’s development going forward. They are not moved by the sharp rise in teenage suicides. No doubt, they celebrate behind closed doors that they are reducing the population. Even this vaccine causes the body to produce antibodies, but there is no understanding of whether it generates antibodies for some other purpose. Many are deeply concerned that this experiment may backfire and eradicate natural immunities to diseases that were once cured. They refuse to respond and just call such questions “conspiracy theory” rather than address anything of substance. Yet, Big Tech goes out of its way to remove any challenge to vaccines whatsoever as if they are new medical experts.

The idea that the internet would expand the human knowledge base with its open-source structure has now been destroyed by the Big Tech robber barons. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act was designed to end the age of robber barons. Today, the Democrats support them because they also want to shut down free speech and all dissent. Of course, this is impacting governments worldwide who do not see this as a good idea. The open door structure of the internet is coming to an end. Now that politics is involved, those who think they can create a new open internet using blockchain overlook one small problem — politics. When Amazon was faced with allowing employees to mail-in ballots to see if they should unionize, they immediately challenged mail-in voting as unreliable.

What began with Trump spread like a bush fire in California and engulfed everything. It set a precedent that anyone can be canceled, and therein lies the tyranny. The internet’s very survival suddenly comes into question, for as YouTube has demonstrated, anything that offends their political agenda violates their community guidelines.

Congressman Matt Gaetz Claims Former DOJ Lawyer David McGee Was Extorting Him Amid a Bizarre FBI Sting Operation


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 30, 2021 | Sundance | 266 Comments

Two people inside the DOJ leaked a story about Matt Gaetz (R-FL) being under DOJ/FBI investigation to the New York Times.  The essential elements of the article are that Gaetz had a relationship with a 17-year-old woman, and paid for her to travel; ergo the DOJ/FBI is investigating “sex trafficking.”   Presumably AG Bill Barr opened the investigation. However, Matt Gaetz vehemently denies everything about the claims, and instead says the FBI and DOJ were recently conducting a sting operation -with his cooperation- against a former DOJ lawyer named David McGee who was extorting Gaetz for $25 million.

According to Gaetz his father was contacted by McGee in March of this year and told he would release the details of a relationship with the woman if Gaetz did not pay $25 million.  Gaetz contacted the FBI, and his father wore a wire in his conversation with McGee where the FBI were recording the extortion attempt.  Now that someone has leaked the erroneous background of the investigation to the New York Times, Gaetz is demanding the DOJ release the tapes of the extortion attempt.

Tonight Matt Gaetz appeared on Tucker Carlson to discuss the details of the situation.  Apparently there was an FBI sting operation underway which included a payment tomorrow.  The New York Times article tipped-off McGee to the sting.  Congressman Gaetz denies any wrongdoing, legal or otherwise, and denies paying for a minor to cross state lines to meet him.  When Carlson asked Gaetz who was the former DOJ official attempting extortion, Gaetz named David McGee, a former DOJ lawyer currently working for Beggs and Lane lawfirm.  WATCH:

Matt Gaetz: “What is happening is an extortion of me and my family involving a former Department of Justice official. On March 16th, my father got a text message demanding a meeting wherein a person demanded $25 million in exchange for making horrible sex trafficking allegations of me go away. Our family was so troubled by that we went to the local FBI and the FBI and the Department of Justice were so concerned about this, that they asked my dad to wear a wire. Which he did with the former Department of Justice official. Tonight I am demanding that the Department of Justice and the FBI release the audio recordings that were made under their supervision and at their direction which will prove me innocence. These allegations are true and they were meant to bleed my family. This former Department of Justice official tomorrow was supposed to be contacted by my father so that specific instructions could be given regarding the wiring of $4.5 million as a down payment on this bribe. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that tonight somehow The New York Times is leaking this information, smearing me and ruining the investigation.”

Tucker Carlson: …”First of all, who is this Department of Justice former employee who is trying to extort the money from you.”

Gaetz: “His name is David McGee”

Pence “Laying Groundwork” For a 2024 Presidential Bid?


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 30, 2021 | Sundance | 349 Comments

Not an April fool’s joke, but it might as well be.

Two media reports [Here and Here] about former VP Mike Pence considering a potential run for President in 2024 present the most laughable political hypothetical in recent memory.   Particularly, and specifically, because even President Trump would likely not include Pence in a short list of people for endorsement.

“WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump recently rattled off the names of those he viewed as future leaders of the Republican Party, including Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz along with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Conspicuously absent from the list: Mike Pence.

The former vice president is steadily reentering public life as he eyes a potential run for the White House in 2024.” (read more)

Newsmax has a similar story outlining steps Mike Pence appears to be making to lean forward to the 2024 GOP primary.  However, as pointed out by both articles, President Trump has not included his former VP in any positive affirmation about the future of the republican party.

NewsMax – […] “Since leaving office in January, Pence, who was Indiana’s governor and a member of Congress before being tapped as Trump’s running mate, has kept a lower profile. He’s pieced together a portfolio aimed at maintaining influence, paying the bills, and laying the groundwork for an expected presidential run.

He’s forged a partnerships with the conservative Heritage Foundation and has even been discussed as a potential president of the organization, according to two people familiar with the discussions. He’s joined the Young America’s Foundation and a top speakers’ bureau, penned an op-ed for the Daily Signal about the 2020 election, and recently toured a Christian relief organization in North Carolina. He will make his first public speech since leaving office next month at the Palmetto Family Council’s annual fundraiser in South Carolina, another crucial primary state.

Pence also has discussed writing a book, according to aides, has been in continued conversation with his evangelical allies, and plans to spend much of the next two years helping Republican candidates as they try to reclaim House and Senate majorities in 2022. (read more)

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.

Supreme Court Continues to Protect Politicians


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Mar 29, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Supreme Court protects Hillary Clinton as expected. The Supreme Court refused to compel Hillary Clinton to testify about her email server rejecting a move by Judicial Watch. This is further proof that the Supreme Court is refusing to enforce the law when it comes to politicians.

SNL Shows whoever is President – They are Fair Game


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Mar 29, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Washington Post has never, at least that I recall, critiqued an SNL skit. They just could not help themselves to rush to the defense of Biden. This proves it is no longer about news – it is just about propaganda. It is True the “Democracy Dies in Darkness” and the Washington Post is doing everything they can to kill democracy.

Senators on Armed Services Committee Promote Expansion of NSA Domestic Data Gathering and Surveillance – NSA Response: “The Fourth Amendment is a “Key Obstacle” You Need to Remove


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 28, 2021 | Sundance | 206 Comments

OK, before I blow a blood pressure cuff on this issue, please keep in mind the warnings provided on these pages about DHS now starting to assemble lists of dissident citizens under the guise of domestic extremists. {Go Deep}  Also remind yourself the same DHS and FBI are now using private contractors embedded in Big Tech to scour public information on social media and provide feedback to help DHS assemble those lists. {Go Deep}

Now, we take that foundation and build it one step further…. This well-written report about the recent Senate Armed Services Committee discussion with the National Security Agency (NSA) needs to be absorbed with the prior information as context.  These paragraphs are alarming in the extreme (emphasis mine):

[…] “Several members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday voiced their support for expanded authorities for the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command to conduct more intelligence gathering domestically, something that the Biden administration already is exploring, according to Gen. Paul Nakasone, who leads both agencies.”

“Former NSA general counsel Glenn Gertstell has argued that an expansion of NSA authorities to collect domestic intelligence is overdue. “It can’t possibly be the case that the Fourth Amendment ties our hands in such a way that we just have to sit there and watch the Chinese romp through our infrastructure,” he told the Wall Street Journal in March. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and [NSA Director] Nakasone cited it as a key obstacle to potential expansion of the NSA’s powers domestically.” (read more)

The Fourth Amendment is an “obstacle“?….  WTF kind of outlook is that.

Despite their efforts, their ongoing efforts, to destroy what remaining privacy safeguards are in place…. I do not want to live in a nation that loses the fundamental protection of the Fourth Amendment:  “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” (citation)

Sunday Talks, A Frustrated Eric Trump Discusses How JoeBama Created The Border Crisis He Now Denies


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 28, 2021 | Sundance | 71 Comments

Eric Trump expresses the frustrations felt by many Americans who are watching the JoeBama administration deconstruct the border protections and policies put into place by his father, President Trump.

Additionally, Maria Bartiromo asks for Trump’s perspective on the vaccine rollout, the hypocrisy of the Hunter Biden coverup and the potential for a Joe Biden executive order to initiate more gun control.

A wise quote from a friend today makes a lot of sense in the big picture…. “[A White House] memo goes out saying all communications must read “biden/harris admin” ….. [Biden publicly claims Kamala Harris in charge of “Border Crisis, but] now Kammy isn’t the border gal … but she’s doing the diplomat stuff with south of the border governments. She gets cred for that while fully insulated from the crisis that Biden won’t have to answer for in any way except preapproved questions….have to give the WH team credit for creating a perfectly bubbled environment around jumbled Joe. It’s so perfect why change it? With Joe at the helm, the WH can claim credit and deny responsibility with zero media pushback…couldn’t do that with Harris in charge. She is universally unlikeable, and so blatantly phony that her campaign couldn’t raise money….. Harris couldn’t get away with bumbling through a press conference or hiding from the world the way Joe does. I now think the WH team wants to keep pushing Joe out there for as long as possible.”

Sunday Talks, Senator Ted Cruz Discusses GOP Border Visit and Ongoing Border Crisis


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 28, 2021 | Sundance | 130 Comments

Sometimes it is difficult to bite your tongue and not respond negatively to the manipulative public positioning of well known sanctimonious hypocrites.  Today, as I watched this interview with Senator Ted Cruz, my prayers were for grace amid the face the stunning & historical hypocrisy.

You see, there’s a problem with Cruz’s current position of advocacy regarding the southern border crisis… a position he must first reconcile before any credibility can be given to any statements.  Back in 2014 Ted Cruz, Glenn Beck and Dana Loesch attacked anyone who challenged them on their ridiculous public spectacle at the U.S. southern border; during their Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls tour.  More on that in a moment….

Here is Ted Cruz discussing his ‘new found’ concern about illegal aliens under the Biden administration.

In 2014 Ted Cruz, Glenn Beck and Dana Loesch went to the Texas border to deliver gifts to the incoming illegal aliens during the first of many crisis involving “Unaccompanied Alien Children.” Yes the same Dana Loesch that went on to become the spokesperson for the NRA was at the border handing out gifts to illegal border crossers under the guise of a humanitarian crisis. {Full Details Here}

Beck and Cruz were passing out Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls, while Catholic Charities and Baptist Child and Family Services were getting millions. The inner-city American kids? Well, nothing for them…. not even a word from DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson. But, oh yeah, Black Lives Matter, right? I digress.  All of this is well documented in the links above. It’s all there for those who have eyes to see and a capability of being intellectually honest.

When Clarice Feldman, Thomas Lifson (American Thinker) and myself called-out their enabling conduct, the trio of Cruz, Beck and Loesch went bananas and launched a full-throated attack against us for calling them out. Seven years later Ted Cruz apparently wants everyone to forget what he did to create the environment that now exists as the UAC issue on steroids happens again.

♦ Ted Cruz was for South American Refugees (2014 – link) “Soccer Ball and Teddy Bear Delivery” before he was against SA/Mexican refugees and promoting a border wall (2015) – He cannot square that factual circle ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was for Trade Promotion Authority (2015 – link), before he was against Trade Promotion Authority (2015) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was for Taking More Syrian Refugees (2014 – link), specifically dismissing the threat of terror embeds, before he was against taking Syrian Refugees (2015 – link) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was against Ethanol Subsidies (2013 – link), before he was for Ethanol Subsidies (2016 – link) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was for Anchor Baby Birthright Citizenship (2011 – link), before he was against “birthright citizenship” (2015 – link) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was for the Iran Deal “Corker Cardin Amendment” (2015 – link), before he was against the Iran Deal (2015 – link) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was for Mitch McConnell (2014 – link), before he was against Mitch McConnell (2014 link) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research outline
♦ Ted Cruz was against Chris McDaniel (2014 – link), before he was for Chris McDaniel (2015) – He cannot square that factual circle – Research outline

Yes, we have a crisis at the southern border; however, it is a crisis that Ted Cruz has always wind-tested his response toward.
