Just minding my own business yesterday, trying to keep TBP interesting with an odd assortment of posts and I received another one of those dreaded emails.
Jim,
LockerDome will be using our out clause with The Burning Platform, effective immediately, per the following clause in the IO:
• Publisher acknowledges that certain website content, including but not limited to pornography, violence, obscene language, and hate speech, may be undesirable to LockerDome’s network of Advertisers. In the event that this type of content appears on Publisher’s website(s), LockerDome reserves the right to terminate this Insertion Order immediately via written notice (email or otherwise).
Best,
Sammy
Lockerdome has been my number one advertiser since Amazon gave me the boot two years ago. Every time an advertiser gives me the boot, it’s the same generic email. They never provide an example of what they are talking about. TBP is undesirable to someone for some reason. I wonder why.
I guess railing against the Deep State, bankers, mega-corporations, the propaganda fake news media, and the government somehow makes TBP undesirable to advertisers. Every time I think I might be able to make TBP a full-time gig, the rug gets pulled out from beneath me and I go back to square one.
It’s just a matter of time until the other advertisers pull the plug. My sole means of keeping this place going will have to be donations. I guess that’s how it will be. I am already overwhelmed with the generous donation support I get, but it looks like that will be the only revenue stream in the very near future.
So, if you can afford it and value this website, you can either send something to the PO Box:
Jim Quinn
P.O. Box 1520
Kulpsville, PA 19443
or donate via Paypal (until they kick me off their platform – you know, hate speech and all).
I can’t get zman anymore. Can anyone?
I just logged onto his site.
Jim, I know it’s one of the three biggest lies. Check is in the mail.
Jim maybe you better look at your website and the people you advertise for. Lots of porno leads to draw people into sex games.
Why someone would be giving you a thumbs down is beyond me, unless of course they are into porno sites.
Well, DUH!
The very instant I have enough intellectual stimulation, I whack off.
Diogenes, to a crowd protesting his naked masturbation in the middle of the public market, “Would you protest if rubbing my belly sated my hunger?”
Fred Reed’s article is a good example. Truth is now hate speech. But then, “hate speech” is a lie in itself. When all’s said and done biological reality as regards both gender and race will win out. Per Ayn Rand, you can avoid reality; but you can’t avoid the consequences of reality.
“You can avoid reality, but you can’t avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”
Almost certainly Fred’s article is what triggered this. No doubt there are folks who check TBP and similar sites every day, just itching to report them, in the name of cleaning up the Internet of fake news.
I have a good idea – software solution – any post with the words Negro / nigger / nignogg / kneegrow – translate them all the “the Amish”.
Then SPICS -> The Swedish, Queers/Lesbos/Faggots/Tranny’s -> Interesting People.
There you have it!
Gender is the right word in mixed company, but the reality is sex. The fundamental of sexually reproducing species is sex. I like your comment otherwise. Beware the defeatist vocabulary of the enemy meant for our use. It is interesting the idea that Atlas might shrug into a state of ZFG, is it not? And I don’t think we can win on dollars. If I had the $$$, I would seriously look into Finca Bayano hoping it’s legit. Lastly, I’d say Ted Kennedy and John McCain avoided long-run reality just fine. Lying works damn well, and I expect it is an instinctive art going back to Homo Erectus (especially the females). Sorry to be a rational party pooper (black pill). It could be worse, you could be me.
In the process of shrugging. I’m sick of being farmed.
Per Ayn Rand, you can avoid reality; but you can’t avoid the consequences of reality.
The jews seem to doing just fine.
The Jew avoids accountability like a plague never looking into the mirror to see he is the plague.
I hope it wasn’t because I said the nigger word.
Me too.
You mean nigger?
Me too
“Hate speech”. Also known as “speech”.
aka dissent.
ANy opposition speech is now deemed “hate speech”…
I still an ad with a woman with huge tads entitled “unbelievable photos taken at the airport”. So that’s good. I assume you all get the ad for “hung men in Minneapolis looking for you”, right?
That’s on you. If you were recently looking at dick porn, they assume you manspread on the potty at the airport.
Never mind.
This is the simple test to know if something or someone is right.
IF THEY’RE BANNED!
Pretty simple huh?
Everything is hate speech these days that concerns the truth and the moment you disagree with some liberal progressive it’s hate. An example is this fucking MLK holiday .Guys like me are expected to honor this piece of shit but we can’t honor the founding fathers of our nation because some them owned slaves and that’s racist . It’s sickening but it wasn’t blacks who forced this shit down our down our throats it was white leftist and Jews.Every fucking time. It’s white leftist and Jews. Admin ,hang in there! Now that I got my commercial truck paid for I should be able to help out more with donations . I’m still waiting to get my title in the mail . I don’t think I will ever go in debt again. Paying interest on ” money ” that never existed is so demoralizing . What a fucking Scam. I learned most of us are still slaves in a satanic Beast System that is a vampire. Anyway thank you and the others for all I have learned. Finding the Burning Platform is one of the Best things that has ever happened to me. God bless to all.
Don’t get me started on MLK day, the only present-day holiday in America bearing the name of a man. No Franklin. No Washington. No Jefferson. No Jackson.
NH was last state to cave in and adopt this travesty of a holiday, but cave it did.
“Maybe if someone shot four more niggers, we could get the whole week off. ‘ At least the Greaseman said so, back in the day when MLK became a holiday. (((PC ))) was rearing its ugly head and he got fired as a DJ. It’s as funny now as it was then. The saddest part is that there is even more evidence we shouldn’t just stop with four…
The Greaseman…takes me back to my youth. Can you imagine someone saying that on the radio today?
Do you remember why Howard Stern got run out of DC?
Today is General robert E. lee’s birthday and we celebrated it for years until this day was highjacked by leftist in the 1980’s and made it MLK day.
It always used to sell a lot of records for the Rolling Stones.
Must be your Walmart freeks.
Expect this shit to continue. I thought it strange and out of character that an email I sent to red lobster bitching about pulling their ads from Tucker’s program never got a response. My email was terse but polite. I used my correct contact info. I expected in return some bullshit form letter telling me how much they appreciated my ‘input’ trying to keep my business. That use to matter to public companies-no longer apparently. It dawns on me that they are under such pressure from TPTB that they slavishly tow the party line and if profits have to suffer then they do. It’s a fight for their survival.
Ours too. Those of us TBP devotees need respond on these occasions. Pony up, Gang.
CC,
Obama is behind this. He has a huge following and is placing significant pressure on the corps. It will all abruptly wnd when trump is re wlected. Obama is black ailing these corps thatbthe next dem president will make their lives hell unless they comply today. But when trumpmis re elected they will know they have been played by the little gay pigmented man..
They didn’t answer mine either.
Any regular readers of TBP who aren’t at least occasionally donating should start doing so.
I have a sneaky suspicion that “those people you are not allowed to criticize” aka the ones who will force you to sign an agreement not to boycott their apartheid regime, are the ones who are causing grief.
See, I didn’t even have to name names, and yet everyone knows who I am talking about.
They get extremely offended by certain comments, and then they associate the commentators to the site host, the old “guilt by association”
Anon,would you stop demonizing the Amish!I will try and help but cancelled me paypal,well,fuck them and their banning.I would gladly send a check but do not have a checking account,so,money order best I can do.
What advertisors do you lose here,and,how about contact info for the cretins who have this power,let em know we will not support “their”advertisors as best as we can,sigh…..,feel soon will be boycotting everyone!
Advertising is secondary that isn’t what earns them the dough this does.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01/goal-automate-us-welcome-age-surveillance-capitalism
Come on, just use the correct (((punctuation))) and youbdont even need to allude or infer who is being discussed….oy vey!!
You must be doing something right if the wrong people hate you.
Your donate button doesn’t work (on Microsoft Edge anyway). Maybe they did that, too. I’ll try again later on a different computer.
Button is fixed.
I’m really sorry this keeps happening.
It feels like things are coming to a head these days and this is just another sign of the times.
Admin,
I love free speach and you the THE leader of this on the internet as far as I’m concerned. This, of course, will lead to problems.
I would avoid putting up pictures like the bunny suited family(?) that was put up today.
The (()) and the black stuff? Maybe we can institute some type of alternative wording on TBP?
Just throwing out ideas. I can’t imagine anything else that would be causing problems.
We’re all causing the problem because we dare to think different from TPTB.
“institute some type of alternate wording”. Really. Bullshit on that. Go ahead and do that if you want the left/TPTB to win.
Not picking on your directly DB, but the thing your suggesting is what has got us to this point in the first place. You cannot negotiate with leftist, fascists, communists, marxists, etc.
I understand your point, I was only offering a suggestion. Quite unpopular. I get it.
Freedom of speech should be nonnegotiable.
*”nonjoogoitable” *, there fixed it for ya….
Not sure why you received so many downvotes for that comment. It’s valid. There is more than one way to say the same thing. If cleaning up the language a bit might prevent an advertiser from leaving, that benefits admin and therefore all of us.
Nigger can only said one way. Blacks will never be fired for saying nigger; whites routinely are.
There is no acceptable way for whites to utter the word nigger without poenalty unless:
1. You are the ever so suave Billy Bob Maher, declaring to the world that you are a “house nigger”.
2. In the privacy of your home or hotel room, telling niggers that your wife loves nigger dick.
I would set up a recurring donation but I don’t like paypal. Eventually we may just have to mail you donations anyways.
Will we just be confined to an online ghetto where we are all preaching to the choir?
Sorry Jim, but this is hands down a response to the guest posting of the “the White Man’s Burden” by Fred Reed. In today’s era, white men stating anything racial that is counter to the left’s false narrative of “we are all equal” is immediately met with the left’s hate speech and attempted delegitimization. Whether it was an angry letter to them by a leftist lurker here (and fellow TBP viewers, our enemies are here, watching, you know this is true), or a fearful reaction by a service provider, the results are the same: loss of revenue.
The continued greenmailing of free speech by the leftists who are placing us under assault is an anti-American subversive movement propagated by leftists, mostly white SJWs. These disgusting apologists want white men blamed for everything, and the only “racially charged” statement that a white man is allowed to make in their ideal world is to grovel and denigrate himself and his kin as evil. The idea is to silence anything they find controversial, and they do so by threatening the supply chain. Don’t like a site? Get it defunded by threatening the ad providers, then eventually the ISPs themselves. Service providers are now scared lest they be tarred with the “racist” brush.
Witness what is happening to James Watson himself: he proposed his theory with no malice, no racism, but now finds himself, at a time when he should be about to retire with accolades, instead slandered and unsupported, terminated from the very lab he made famous, and tarred and feathered as a “racist”.
Just another extension of the growing fractures in this country. As we careen through the fourth turning, we are witnessing the left’s increasingly aggressive reactionary actions to the Regeneracy. Free speech is the first casualty.
the demonetization probably has nothing to do with the actual content of the article, just the mere fact that “James Watson” is in it… is enough for the ‘hatemongers’
Only white people are responsible for a solution to problems, which we didn’t create.
Fun fact, here in Germany, even conservative circles still think free speech is on another level in the US.
My personal facepalm today, even mentioning hate speech:

I’m clicking the ‘Donate’ button but, not getting anywhere. What email do I use in PayPal to send a donation?
“[email protected]” is what I just used to send the Boss a”buck-fiddy”. (He speaks 30 Blocks dialect on occasion.)
Da P
Jim, I don’t tweet, but, is TBP still on Twitter? If yes, how the hell has it not been booted off that venue?
Q2. I see an ad for books here, with links to scamazon. How is that possible, if they pulled support? Private, 3rd party advertiser that patronizes yours?
Admittedly, I don’t know website design and funding protocol but, ???
Q3. If, God forbid, you’re forced to shut it down, as no longer economically viable, …are all past posts, with their priceless comment threads archived offline on a secure, alternate hard drive, back up?
You may have to go the route of paid subscription only, one day.
And, if that happens, I’d subscribe, as long as financially able to keep the subscription.
Worse yet, it might have to go off-web, to printed hardcopy, once a month, but damn, that cost would be prohibitive, too.
Just typing out loud here.
Hell, if things keep degrading with funding methods, we might have to drive to PA with cash, and meet you at a pub, to have some suds, and meet face to face.
You might get booted from the P.O., after PayPal pulls their plug.
Or maybe change the funding receipt location to a UPS drop box, if it comes to that.
Moving targets are harder to hit, eh? (my NS buddy’s influence, eh)
I’ll try and get another MO in transit to you. With all the damn surveillance and doxxing, it’s not the fastest, but quite possibly the safest means.
Closing inspiration…

Hang in there, friend.
We’re pulling for ya.
I’m on twitter, but I don’t tweet much. I go there to find good info to post. I only have 880 followers, so I’m small potatoes.
The books are written by TBP regular commenters and the Amazon code is theirs. TBP doesn’t get anything if you buy the books.
If the site ever goes down for good, all will likely be lost. TMWNN has everything on his server. Hopefully, we can keep it going.
thx 4 clarification.
You don’t have a backup server?
I think you could ask $60 a year, as a helpful donation – $30,000/500 of us = $60 /yr = $5 month ( $4.99 for our Hebrew friends.)
Another idea for revenue: How about hosting others that are being discriminated against – like Eric Peters – maybe a view could select which sub-site.
I feel your pain, Jim. Just waiting here for the goobermint to tell me that half my inventory is now prohibited. Good times.
stale pop tarts huh?
Sue them, while the 1st Amendment is still around.
Prepare for the day, soon, when we must all connect using VPN and dual key encryption – all just to bitch. Dark net junkies, all. This is only the beginning of the tyranny of the socialists. It’s on the internet, your doctor is dealing with it with their bogus regulations, etc. Banks are trying to unfund firearm manufacturers and other undesirables. Next? Us. If we don’t get gray (as I gray man) fast.
Perhaps some TBPers who are skilled here (IT gurus) can cook up our “dark net Meetup” while we all are staying cloaked and anonymous?
We need to be able to communicate and move between sites, quickly and quietly…and anonymously, with our digital trail that should auto erase itself.
I’d be happy to support access to such a portal thru a monthly fee. Maybe others would too.
Is this viable? I know VPN & dual key is for one individual to another, but more broadly? Servers in Iceland?
Yes, that would be awesome if possible.
I suggest you name your Dark Net TBP Club the Seven Anons and drop clues from the real Uncola that never had it and never will.
We could find out if Trump drinks 7-up and start a whole new rumor mill.
A group of prepper type friend in Oklahoma city used to connect with me about who to get online or on radio for information but except for the occasional email, that communication network is also shrinking.
It appears to be happening right before our very eyes.
The ban is clearly because of our pro-femininst slant.
Based on this chart:
can you guess when each nation implemented universal suffrage?
Anyway, if you want to donate fairly anonymously and are in the US, pay cash for a postal money order, and send it to the address posted up on the right sidebar of every page on this site.

Wait a minute…..” obscene language, and hate speech,” ??????? STUCKY!!!!!!!
In our world where people get all butt hurt over stuff, it isn’t hard to understand. I like the BP but the Jew hate talk gets old. I just chalk it up to small minds and move on to the stuff here I like. I work with Liberals every day and I hear the strange way they think about everything. It’s really sad the world has come to this wussy state it is in.
No Jim — you know as well as anyone posting the articles by Yoj and Stuck are pure opinion hate — not fact. You’re tripping the clauses and you know it by posting their masturbatory blather. Hope you think it is worth it. Shame is 99% of what you post is valuable, informative and debate worthy
Make the world a better place, and stick your tongue into a light socket.
Never left the 4th grade I guess. Your remark is on the level on nyah nyah. Well done!
I doubt anybody is surprised that people have been telling you to off yourself since the fourth grade.
Admin is the most free speech practitioner you will find on the net. It is what it is.
Just suck start your pistol and make the day a little morebred for everyone
Secret [Self Ab] user, sometimes the best clue to anything is found by reviewing what happened 48 hours earlier. The most likely is that somebody was offended by the Jillette parody article. Folks need to get a sense of humor.
I enjoy Stucky’s articles and YoBo is an acquired taste, sort of like AIDS. I notice you have never posted anything, which is probably why you find it easy to criticize.
That’s right. On the internet you can talk shit about niggers, spics (no offense EC), rednecks, bull dykes, Catholic pedos, fags, Trump voters, Muslims, transgender ma’ams and even Italians. Oh sure, you’ll catch some amount of flak, but with a nudge nudge wink wink it’s all but forgotten, but don’t you fucking dare go near the trillion dollar shoah business. It’s the ultimate white guilt albatross with no possible redemption. Jesus Christ himself can’t absolve you, white man, of this sin. That’s where the line is drawn, and because there are some here who even dare question the narrative, that is why the advertising gets pulled.
spics (no offense EC)
I used this term while riffing on some comment, I said we would be Stepford Spics. That term is more popular up north, I hardly hear it around here. The preferred term here in Cali is beaner and in Texas it’s mojado or wetback. When in Cali, be sure to use the correct slur or you will stand out like a Yankee.
Two men get beaten to a pulp in separate incidents. In one case, them victim happens to be a homosexual. The other straight. The perpetrator that beat up the homosexual gets a sentence 5 times longer than the other. Why? Because it was a ‘hate crime’. Let’s face facts here – hate crime is really thought crime. I always thought that the crime was the assault. The reality is the ‘system’ aka ‘the government’ aka ‘the deep state’ aren’t interested so much in punishing the violent assault. In reality they want to punish ‘bad think’ aka ‘political incorrectness’.
So true! It is thought crime vs two separate, equally heinous assault crimes. Anyone that cannot see this has been fully propagandized by MSM. Lots of other examples for those who can see.
*doubleplusungood* is the better vernacular., as Winston Smith would say.
Hi Admin,
Just my 2 cents but I’d advise NOT to start editing any posts according to what these assholes think is acceptable. Fuck ’em. This is your website and you decide if and what you edit. But the opinion of these MFers shouldn’t even be considered. Fuck me, but if this isn’t turning into a war. Sure hope Pres Trump sees reality.
Not a fan of any of the Bushes but I think he may have gotten this one right.
I would like directions to the porno content please. goddambsonsofbitches
Vox Day has a lawsuit going into arbitration against Indiegogo for violating its own terms of service and pulling the plug on a completed fundraiser…He will likely win…
Out of curiosity I looked at Glassdoor reviews of this company. Seems former employees hate them even more that you probably do right now….
Becoming to popular PTB?. No worries it is happening all over and only bringing us together. Delicate sensibilities and pogroms show us they are on the back foot to easy and no amount of doubling down can stop us quadrupling up. PTB is one of the most mature sites there be traveling through the microwaves. Hang in there keep up the good works and life will do the rest.
Nobody is putting the dots together but Obama is behind these things. He has an entire group coordinating efforts across the nation to dox people and shut down conservative and free speech. Obama is not sitting in washington dc behind his walls doing nothing. Mark my words it will come out he was behind a lot of the shit Trump was dealing with. He will even take credit once a dem is president again.
Everyone here is blaming freds article. The key to this doxxing is knowing there is leftist lurker scum here. And not letting them know they won by complaining you got doxxed. Wait 2 weeks and appeal to us for more money without indicating it was for any other reason than maybe server upgrades etc. Informing the little pricks their complaining to other sites looking for the wrong adjective to doxx a conservative or libertarian site their tactic is working is not the smartest thing. Never let them know they are winning. ALways make them feel small and insignificant.
Steve B seemed to have a lot to say about that post, just saying.
A good measure that TBP is doing something worthwhile is to be defunded by the globalists’ agencies of lies and deceit. How long I wonder before they come out from behind the curtain and shut down all truth-tellers? They are exposed already but are still pumping out Fake News by the declining Fake News Networks.
Made a meme…
Shiet? is that some npc spelling of which I am unaware? Am surprised that bland spookity face isn’t grafted over his…
I saw it in a thread on twitter and thought it was kinda funny… made it itno a meme.
the picture is kinda creepy….. anyways
just back from there…. the liberal twatter sphere is in meltdown right now because NBC is going to go to air with interview of that young man from Covington High school
the only conclusion I can take from all this is the left has lost their frikkin’ minds…
amazing
But, but, but… He wasn’t in Vietnam.
Do you feel “shunned?” (I am taking the liberty of using an Amish term which refers to the banning of a member of the community from certain social functions and religious rituals, which leads to their being “shunned” in order to bring them back in line with religious and cultural rules. It does work.)
I have taken a liking to seeing Amish country by taking secondary roads to town. The Mennonite family who built my log home were “shunned” Amish who have since left Missouri for more northern parts (Wisconsin, I believe.) Mr. Yoder did not like the balmy weather in the summers here. It is why he built my home mid-winter and lived in my “birdhouse.” I am glad we lived there for several months as well, moving into this home the following winter. But, in spite of the thrill of really roughing it in ways I’d forgotten I was capable, I do not want to have to live with limited access to running water or heat other than what can be generated by wood stove. It takes a certain can-do attitude I plan to summon only one last time: the last stand.
I’m delighted to see your donationometer on the rise so early in the year. I have been tardy with my note due to lots of reasons, most of them involving lots of medical bills handled adeptly by my helpmeet.
I do intend to TBP payment for the kindness of strangers sending lager, lovely towelettes scented but not stinky, and caramel fudge which is so addictive I ordered a couple of gift boxes and never sent them to friends. In hindsight, having it on hand may have saved my life. That’s worth a couple of cinnamon scented twenties, at least.
I’ve always viewed TBP as a collection of thoughts, opinions and ideas assembled on one “platform” which are rarely found together being shared, uncensored with limited editing. Admin has salvaged what he can from the fires of Farenheit 451.
I tried to post this earlier but the weather here has turned frightful. They must be moving a lot of UFOs across the skies in flyover country.
Good people. They’re out there. They get to know new friends and take a chance, by packing up a box and sharing one of the things (or a couple) they believe others might enjoy. Homegrown.
Could be a Get Well Soon card; a small monetary donation to keep the lights on, or maybe some canned goods to keep on the pantry shelf. Right honey?
Or, even, since 7Up described this place as a virtual airport bar, some barley and hops gets added to the mix, as would 2 friends enjoying time, smiles, and laughs, in any bar.
In older times, someone would grab an LP, lay it on the turntable for some musical media to enjoy and treasure. Frame that picture in your minds eye, friend.
Or maybe a delectably sweet treat that’s unlike any other. If you spill some and make a mess, just laugh it off, and clean up. I’m sure you’ll use something that works wonderfully.
Small tokens of friendship, gestures of good will. From some lil guy. He’s restless.
Nothing promised; nothing owed; just cementing some common bonds a lil’ bit stronger.
Call it a hunch type feeling, that a connection can be established, similar to the Pay It Forward ideal. Who would do such a thing? Odd balls do it occasionally. Some do it way more often.
I have a damn good friend, unbeknownst around these parts, who inspires. Always sees how he can do something surprising like that, to friends, and even more so, to strangers.
Since he’s always so damn generous, he reaps what he sows, tenfold. But,
that’s not why he does it. He gives, because he likes to do that. Help. Spread pick-me-ups.
That, my friends, is consideration for others. We need more of that in our worlds.
One time, in line at a Taco Bell drive thru, he spotted two younger gals in the car behind him.
Not sure what inspired him to do it, but he paid for his meal, and also paid for the gals in the car behind him. Surprise. Didn’t know them. Just acted on a hunch. You know what?
It came back around. Not from the girls. From someone else; somewhere else down the line.
Just send it out there. Far and wide. Remember, though, whatever you send out, WILL come back to you, in spades. Be it Goodwill, or them dastardly negative vibes. Reap what you sow.
It’s a law. As unfailing as gravity. Natural law. Use it to your good advantage, is the motto,
when I’m in the right frame of mind. Haven’t perfected it yet. Workin’ on it.
-Adieu
A wonderful comment. Thanks… it was worth the trip back.
Jim, keep up the fight. It’s probably just one crazy woman at Sammy’s employer that caused this.
Ok, i admit to a facebook account under a pseudonym so i can access trail conditions for snomobiling easier. That said, you make a comment on there and get near instant feedback. So, an attack on Islamberg near syracuse was thwarted. Its gone from suspected pipebomb to ieds and guns. Anyhow, i put the story up and asked if anyone found it ironic or counterproductive. I said other shit to, as enjoy a good shitsling. Not one comment in two days. Black hole. You see my group handle right here. See if you can find it on faceberg or has it been memory holed? Looks gone to me when i search off my primary device. Not that i care. But its interesting.
