AND THE DEMONETIZATION BEAT GOES ON

Image result for suppressing the truth

It appears someone has been actively trying to demonetize my site and stop me from publishing the truth. It isn’t a coincidence that my two biggest advertisers decide to drop me in the space of two weeks. Well they’ve succeeded in wiping out 80% of my advertising revenue based on bullshit claims this is a racist website. Here is the email I received today:

Hi – apologies for any inconvenience this may create but we will be suspending service of all widgets for your sites immediately due to the violation of our terms of conditions w/ the posting of content our team and advertisers deemed racist.

Please take down all MyFinance code by end of the day, and we will still issue payment for revenue accrued to today’s date.

Thanks,

Mike

For the 1st time someone actually responded to my return email asking what specifically was deemed racist. Mike sent me this passage from Fred Reed’s article from a few weeks ago:

So debating the conclusions of Nobel Prize winning biologist is deemed so offensive that ad companies decide to pull their ads from your site. I guess that is the world we are living in. It’s acceptable to murder a new born baby, but to discuss actual data regarding the average IQs of different races is unacceptable.

I have to admit, they really know where to hit a man where it hurts. Keeping this site interesting 24/7/365 is a burden. I’ve done it for a decade and now have the highest visitor counts in TBP history, but with this demonetization, I’ll be getting less advertising revenue than I was making 8 years ago. Essentially, my only source of income will be donations. All of my other options have been killed by the left wing censorship police.

Here’s a message to the left wing scumbags out to silence this site. I will not be silenced. This site will continue to publish the truth, no matter what tactics you use. I didn’t start this site to make money. I started it so I could write my articles uncensored. Free speech will always be the basis for TBP.

I hate to depend upon the generosity of others. As a capitalist, I’d rather earn money in the free market. But the market isn’t free. It’s controlled and is only available to those who toe the line of what THEY say is acceptable.

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).

You do understand that even the word “race” is unacceptable to them. This dates back to the 1870’s in Germany when the Jewish Germans wanted diversity to be acceptable , rather than the assimilation being expected. It might be ok to say “groups” or whatever but any reference to race is a “trigger” Too bad major advertisers kowtow to the left.
We really need to insist on assimilation of every new immigrant, whenever they arrived.

So sick of everyone using the word “they”. People say “someone” is pressuring these people to boycott and dox sites like these. It is Obama. I am not joking. He has his minions putting pressure all over to dox speech. All dem candidates are a joke and mark my word, save this reply, Michelle Obama will swoop in after the media destroys kamahalalala and the indian and Michelle will be the primary candidate. He needs to shut down speech and all opposition to control the narrative. You know all her hating whitey and amerika and being sooo unproud of her country but she sure wants to rule it. Great qualifications too, the obamas were both disbarred attorneys. Fact.

Bath House Barry was disbarred for failing to disclose the use of an alias. An attorney must disclose any alias and even though he went by the name of Barry Soetoro for years, he failed to disclose it.
Big Mama was involved in an insurance fraud case and lied in court to a judge. She was told to surrender her license or be prosecuted after which she would be disbarred.
Following this, she got a job as Diversity Director (yes, WTF!?) at a Chicago hospital for $300,000 per year.
She’s not running.

This debauchery you speak of has become commonplace. Most sites I visit, some newer finds, others much older, have been plagued by this same oppression.

Often, one of the next anomalies encountered are the DDOS attacks. Perhaps those have been popping up on TBP recently.

Don’t know if you will get this note, but I do not have adirect email address so am saending this to you via a response. Something strange came up yesterday (1/2) when I pulled up the TBP website. A text box showed up on my screen with the following -“Press ‘allow’ to continue”. Underneath that are two check boxes – Deny and allow. My internet software is Firefox (Mozilla). When I go to TBP via Internet Explorer the notification does not appear. It may be that Mozilla is beginning a process to deny you internet access through their software.

Mr Q. In addition to this site I follow and support many others of a same ilk-Tom Woods-LRC-Scott Horton,etc. Does it make sense to take an informed guess at the number of us who follow TBP and divide by the revenue lost to these pricks and give us an individual monthly bogie to meet? Or is there another indice that might provide the same thing?

I see plenty of nigger and jew hate here. but I didn’t say anything to anyone except a few comments here and there on TBP. I figure the amount of decent articles is worth skipping the crap from racist old guys. I picture men in brown shirt outfits with a confederate flag behind them cursing the mud people. yeah, I have heard this racist stuff from various people over the years so I know the talk. Usually, some big ugly dumbass white guy talking about how the whites are superior. I personally am more into being disgusted by Muslims and Communist wannabes, The people I believe damage the country. I vote accordingly.
I can see where snowflakes would get all butthurt from some of the articles and comments on TBP.
It’s a wussy PC world out there. My family met the Nazis in person. They controlled the neighborhood in Rotterdam and marched the neighbor Jews off to the trains. They all obeyed that one soldier with a gun. They tried to get my father (little white Catholic boy with blue eyes) to join the Hitler youth in Holland and my dad claims to have been in a line of Dutch kids who shook Hitler’s hand.(not sure if dad was full of shit on that one) My family hated the Nazis and cheered the Canadian soldiers who showed up and mowed them down with machine guns.

Racist white guys? How much shit have whites eaten and had stolen from them over the last 50 years with govt programs to help the generally worthless Wakandans. Affirmative action, massive transfer payments totaling $Trillions, etc?
Over a lifetime, whites contribute $500K to society and blacks cost $250K for a $750K lifetime deficit to society.

Diversity is our strength, just not economically. Maybe they make up for it with all the crime?

So, we need six whites per 1 black and 1 hispanic to keep the Free Shit gravy train flowing. We’re already past that point, BTW – the system literally can’t work any longer, and the only unknown is when it breaks down completely will be.

“Diversity is our strength.” Can someone tell me what facts this statement is based on? Can someone tell me a few ways, if any, that diversity can cause weakness? When examining the historical record, can someone find an example of two cultures that immediately got along famously, or even just tolerated one another without some instances of violence and killing, when one decided to increase their territory into the territory of others? Good luck with that last one!!!

Admin, I have really enjoyed your blog for the last 12 years. I’ve been reading and commenting since ’08. The practice has helped me recover the last functioning brain cells that my last job didn’t kill. I feel younger even.

I would like to donate but I got this Dream House Raffle flyer in the mail. It says I have 1 in 20 chance of winning a prize from a trip to an exotic location to a ritzy home in Calabasas. Imagine living next to Kanye Kardashian! 1 in 20 translates to a 5% chance of winning a prize. You can’t beat that on a slot machine in Vegas. It’s almost a sure thing.

It’s a tough call between rubbing elbows with Caitlyn or bs-ing with Bea here. I have really enjoyed harassing, ridiculing, correcting or confusing noobs and delusional Trumpists that I have to think about it. Could I really enjoy living in Kardashian country without the satisfaction of correcting glaring typos and malformed sentences? Correcting HF’s booboo was deliciously fun, I felt like a bad hombre, now I know how YoBo feels posting Nazi propaganda.

I will give it some thought and your mailbox will let you know what I arrived at.

I once worked, for a brief period, at a government contractor whose contract “deliverables” were blocks of training materials in bound, paper form, each year. The Quality Control work was handed to an illiterate old retired Chief with connections to every office in the Wing but not a clue about writing nor meaning. He delegated his QC work to my immediate supervisor, who loved commas with a passion I learned to revile.

While Strunk and White taught me to suspect every single comma I saw as being unnecessary, my supervisor inserted so many damned commas into my training materials just because she could, I began putting commas every single place she might possibly think one was needed. So if you ever wonder why I tend toward run-on sentences that seem to ramble on without pause or without restraint perhaps it will help to understand I used up almost my entire life’s ration of commas when I worked for Boeing as an editor and that insane comma-obsessed woman was redlining my courseware.

I hardly have any commas left to use.

I’ve been lurking here for 8+ years because I see that, as a police officer, I am not welcome (because all cops are jack-booted thugs). Nevertheless, I’m in full agreement with what you’re doing.

My local police force is as professional as you could possibly hope for.

It’s the very foundation of the police as a public institution that is cracked and of course, the police are set up to fail with an impossible-to-perfectly-execute mission and all kinds of things working against them.

I should have an axe to grind after being punched (hard) at the age of 16 after an off duty cop plowed into my parked car and took his anger out on me. I should also have a bone to pick with the officer who covered up the accident and pressured my parents to accept cash to cover the repairs. I don’t. The cops are the symptom, not the disease. The disease springs from much higher group of bad actors and there is always someone up at higher and higher political levels to blame.

jim,
how many regulars visit the site daily vs the # of casual readers?
there is a community radio station here in town that used to donate to,i quit because they are so left wing but when i donated i kept a cup beside the radio & everyday i dropped in a quarter–
for you regulars who are already giving $,ignore this but for those of you who don’t donate,can you afford enough to give.25/day,$1.75/week?
if you would put a cup beside the computer & drop a quarter in it each day,in one quarter,13 weeks,you would have $22.75,which is $91.00 annually–
the question is,do you receive .25/day worth of information or entertainment value from the site?

Speaking of having to deal with challenges and frustrations, he said:

“I knew going in, that I’d have to deal with a certain amount of BS from time to time. It’s inherent in almost every situation / job / conflict.

The sfms bark is worse than the bite, but “the stools are tarry and black”, like one of the side effects listed on a drug mentioned on Stucky’s advice solicitation. They sting and bruise when they hit the mark.

These are terrible developments regarding freedom of communication and issues of liberty. We “tune” in very rarely and rely on our own favorite news sites and blogs to stay somewhat abreast of issues. If THEY get control of those venues for news and current events (or starve them of funding), we will either remain oblivious or plug back in. More and more, oblivion seems attractive.

I’m a regularly casual reader. I used to be a regularly irritable reader, but recent life challenges have chilled me the fuck out.

I sort half get an advertiser worried that their brand might get associated with something they don’t want to be associated with is bad for them as they might then lose business However, if the game is eyeballs, they are getting their monies worth which is normally the currency they understand. This is different of course since the content (some comments aside), seem like a smorgasbord of well written opinion, you can read or not read. There must be complainers out there doing this spin damage. Who they are, why they do it is speculation, but yeah, it’s probably political.

Obama, Hillary, May, Macron, Merkel, Trudeau and yes probably Trump…and the list goes on and on…are puppet agents for the real power behind the throne. Just follow the money and it will lead to the Davos Crowd who are also probably not the head of the snake, merely the body of this slithering reptile. That are not left or right, liberal or conservative…they are raw satanic power who desire to rule not just the US and most nations of the world but the entire world in a New World Order. All resistance that has exploded with the power and global reach of the internet is being snuffed out. The advertisers have been given their marching orders and this is just the beginning on the road to an Orwellian world and global tyranny. Censorship of the internet in Europe and now Canada is well advanced under the guise of eliminating hate and dealing with foreign threats to our elections and therefore democracy…as if we still had a functioning democracy. The strategy is to keep the masses in a propaganda-induced coma while attacking the red pilled thinking minority who have zeroed in on who our mortal enemies really are. Those who rule over us are in a bit of a panic because they are losing the narrative since their MSM propaganda tools have become subjects of derision and ridicule, and the people with Brexit, Yellow Vests and nationalist/patriotic parties are awaking from a long suicidal slumber and starting to take back control of their sovereignty, civilization, economy, culture, government and nation.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, what if you’re the victim of the Failed Online Advertising Model? I know I’ve never had the inclination to click an ad. Sorry. Life’s only so long. And those companies are such geniuses, they keep posting ads in my sidebars etc for things long after I bought them. Online! Duh.

If the advertizers are also getting squeezed, and they look around at things like the FB Fraud, they may be looking for any excuse – the SJW and ‘wascism’ etc narrative – to shift the blame to their victims so as to appear to be the righteous good guys while they break their contracts. Using it to economize and move their advert dollar to other media, like Proctor and Gamble? The new model – slash online ads and increase sales. Using ‘the narrative’ as an excuse seems a little cowardly, but US corporations have never been legendary for their bravery.

Buzzfeed, Vice, Huffpo are all getting slashed too. Maybe BK this year. Yay! But we’ll have less stupidity to ridicule. Zman’s column today takes a nostalgic look at the evolution of their ‘news’.

Even locally, a friend noticed his ebay sales drying up a few years ago, and I get far less interest when I try to sell off my stuff on Craigslist. I figured it was just the kakistocracy pulling the ‘money’ out of the Main Street economy and giving it to Wall Street via Fed Contraction.

Perhaps Molyneux is right. The donation model is the only thing that allows freedom of speech. And our own sites. Relying on ‘free’ bandwidth like YouTube is vulnerable to it’s owner’s whims. Or caprice. Or agenda.

Admin has spent irreplaceable hours of his life spreading messages that are important – to him – to get out there. But demand for aggregators is not high enough to charge admission. If we enjoy it, it’s only fair that we pay or ‘donate’ for it. After all, to some of us, his efforts and his site are somewhere on the scale of ‘life sustaining’ between Sportsball™ and a trip to the grocery store. And we don’t walk out of there without paying. What would we do without this site?

wxt has hit on the crux of the problem.

what if you’re the victim of the Failed Online Advertising Model?

Help me out here. I seem to remember, at the advent of the internet, amongst all the guffaws that the internet would be captured by advertisers and gatekeepers the titans assured us that would not be the case.

Microsoft was vilified for trying to do the thing corporations are supposed to do–make a profit. Googled was adored even as they enlisted the unwitting public to be their unpaid customer service arm.

Google invented “free Products” as a model supported by ads and captured the whole market before anyone (Yahoo, Bing, etc) could figure it out. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that’s because Google was more than willing to cooperate with the government.

As social media gained traction, and I know and remember this because I was/am involved in online marketing, they were still saying, more or less, they would find/develop a way to support the platforms that wasn’t subscription or advertising.

That’s why many, such as Pinterest, Quora, Tumblr, and Redditt, held off for as long as they did. They were still looking for the magic bullet.

Does anyone else remember it this way?

I have also given considerable thought to the fact that admin, and others, are providing a valuable service at considerable risk. Admin has balls and needs to be compensated.

As WXT says

If we enjoy it, it’s only fair that we pay or ‘donate’ for it. After all, to some of us, his efforts and his site are somewhere on the scale of ‘life sustaining’ between Sportsball™ and a trip to the grocery store. And we don’t walk out of there without paying. What would we do without this site?

Google invented “free Products” as a model supported by ads and captured the whole market before anyone (Yahoo, Bing, etc) could figure it out. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that’s because Google was more than willing to cooperate with the government.

Thank you for that! That’s the way I see how it all played out….i was trying to find a George Webb video during his “Where is Eric Braverman?” Series where Webb had a timeline of when all the major platforms like Yahoo, Google, Microsoft and Apple began sharing data with the Govt…it truly is amazing how much the average person doesn’t realize how cut throat and brutal the real world really is.

Call me crazy but the government or deep state or whatever you want to call it funded and created all of these companies and stuck fake front men at the head so they could pretend it wasn’t.

You remember when they brought that lizard from Facebook to congress where he sipped water up his mandibles? What was that about? Anything ever come of it?

It’s all a big show and we’re in the nosebleed section.

I remember Gary Webb and his crack expose and of course when he “committed suicide”. I forgot all about Michael Ruppert. His unwind was pretty spectacular and of course his eventual demise.

We live in a digital panopticon, but their over-dependence on surveillance is also their Achilles heel.

Re the lizard from Facebook: Zuckerberg has never looked like a real human to me. He looks really fake. like an alien trying to pass as a human by caking cosmetics on his face , or maybe an android. He reminds me of the android on Star Trek, Lt. Commander Data.

Now, Sheryl Sandberg and the other executives from Facebook look clearly like real humans. Not the sort of humans with whom I wish to spend quality time, but still clearly human.

A heads up,

Not sure if this is on my end or yours, but every time I click the thumbs up button on a comment or click a comment from the “recent comment” section a new tab is opened up and I am redirected to an advertisement, last one was to Wal Mart….

Anyone else having this problem?

I’m getting all kinds of weird shit happening.
On the mobile app, w/ Chrome, pop up ads rise up from the bottom of screen.
Typically I can X out of them, but now, screen redirects, to an Ad look-a-like, asks for permission to send notifications, and then Allow, or Cancel pops up. Cancel does not extinguish it. It pops back up again. It’s acting like a virus has either infected all links to the site, or infected my mobile.
On the PC, similar…open the site, and when a comment link or old post link is clicked on,
a separate tab opens up with that Ad look-a-like.
Full disclosure. I have no Ad-blocking software installed in either PC or Mobile.
Typically launch TBP using DuckDuckGo, and could usually access all links effectively.
All this started Saturday around noon.
Something’s going on.

Hell I can’t remember.
Once he yanked it, the problem went away, on both me PC and my ‘roid mobile.

Sleeping Giants

Sleeping Giants founder Matt Rivitz, he wants to be “the source of some kind of conscience” for social media.

An official statement from Matt Rivitz, founder of Sleeping Giants:

“Last night, Peter Hasson from The Daily Caller decided to publish my name as well as the names of my family & friends.

And, curiously, a tweet I wrote to Ikea customer service. Which is weird.

While this isn’t obviously how I wanted things to play out, I have nothing to hide.

I, and the rest of the team here, have always wanted to stay anonymous to keep this about the mission rather than the individuals involved. That hasn’t changed.

I am super proud of what we’ve built here and the fact that there are now hundreds of thousands of people across the world who have joined together to make hate unprofitable.

This has never been about me or us. It’s about you. Thanks for your support. The mission continues.

Now back to being called fascist communist Soros-funded free speech-stomping anti-American deep state plants like we always have.”

Cool. Ready to get back to work?
———————————-
Matt Rivitz barely tweeted at all until one day when he was waiting for customer service at Ikea for two hours. The angry tweet he sent to the corporate Twitter handle changed everything.
Applying this lesson to something more important than cheap furniture, Rivitz started an account called Sleeping Giants, aimed at alerting advertisers whose ads were appearing on Breitbart. Today, the account has nearly 200,000 followers and has convinced more than 4,000 companies to take their ads off that site; it has also led campaigns aimed at Fox News, Laura Ingraham and Robert Mercer, but Rivitz says it’s not about politics — it’s about bigotry and hate speech.

So you get all these people to do it and then you and so on and so forth.

And then they started coming off by the tens and then hundreds and then thousands. Breitbart is really the test case, right? It’s a much bigger problem than Breitbart. These companies are helping monetize sites like that. It encourages them to get more clicks.

They sure are. Right.

And to get more outrage and to whip everyone into a frenzy. So they get more clicks and more eyeballs and more dollars. That is not a good cycle to be in.

So you got more writers to participate in it, correct?

There are other people doing more ancillary jobs on it and then there are people that are doing other projects on it. That’s what’s been …

We’re going to get into that in a little bit, but so you have all these … Breitbart was your first aim, essentially.

Yeah.

So how many followers do you have now?

On Twitter, we’re aiming for almost at 200,000. On Facebook I think we’ve got 70 or maybe even 80,000.

This reminds me of the so called Antifascists. Rivits is pissed that he is doxxed, ‘how dare they take off my mask?’
But he feels absolved by his ‘holy zeal’ in eliminating ‘racism and hate’. Truth and honest debate be damned.
He is of the self appointed arbiters of correct speech.
Funny how they become the essence of what they hate.

Plato,
Not just deceptive tactics, but ‘masked’ ones. At least Thomas Bowdler had the cojones to open about his expurgations. Matt Rivitz was not pleased at his notoriety; so, he is not about honesty or open debate. I would call him a “digital serial killer”.
I’m pretty confident that he is not the only one doing these kinds of things as individuals. The Chinese with tailor-made untraceable, unidentifiable software, Gaggle, FaceBash and other notwithstanding. I wonder about Yelp reviews, for example.
The important idea to remember is that Rivitz started with a hate… “The site had gained prominence because of its ties to Stephen K. Bannon, its former chairman, who was Mr. Trump’s chief strategist.”
He hated Bannon-then Breitbart-then any stite he didn’t agree with.
Rivita justifies his endeavors by claiming the religious zeal against…….. intolerance and hate.

And pays homage to Gary Webb and Michael Ruppert here

In the last video George talks about Infragard, a PPP, Public Private Partnership in which the Big Brother apparatus can be wielded by Fortune 500 companies against other companies or groups or individuals…

Talk about the merger of Big Business and Big Government!!! Fascist Corporatism!

Admin,
Just got this email from GAB!

GAB
Gab.com operates on one rule: if political speech is legal in the United States, that speech is allowed on Gab.com.

Companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter, Netflix, Patreon, Square, and Stripe disagree with this proposition, and believe not only that it is morally correct to dictate to Internet users what opinions we are and are not allowed to hold, but that it is morally correct to deplatform any company that disagrees with the California consensus, and actively suppress opinions, as well as the people who express them, where their users’ beliefs don’t accord with corporate interests.

As a result, Netflix now pulls comedy shows that offend Saudi monarchs, Twitter removes content of journalists and human rights activists in Pakistan, and Patreon kicks off conservatives and libertarians in the United States.

Human beings hold, and in America they have the freedom to express, a very wide range of incompatible opinions. At Gab we believe, as former President Obama put it, that “the strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression, it is more speech.” The only thing censorship accomplishes is the elimination of reasoned argument and self-sorting into filter bubbles.

People everywhere are waking up to the significant danger of allowing banks and large technology companies to police their opinions and what they are and are not allowed to see. Companies like our own, like our DNS hosting provider epik.com, and our new payment processor, 2nd Amendment Processing, recognize both the danger of kowtowing to online mobs and the significant upside potential of serving as the backbone of the free and open Internet.

We are immensely pleased to be working with 2nd Amendment Processing, a company that recognizes that freedom of speech is not a means to an end, but an end unto itself, and we recommend 2nd Amendment Processing to any company with difficulty securing payment processing services for political reasons. We welcome freedom-loving people everywhere – no matter who they are or what they believe – to join us in building a better Internet on Gab.

You can now upgrade to GabPro with a debit or credit card once again and support us on our mission to defend free expression online for all people.

Those who go Pro help keep Gab:

Gab Becomes Invite-Only While We Work On A Solution To Bots

Gab has made the decision to do a total and complete shutdown of open user registration and move to an invite-only system until we can figure out what is going on with the flood of spam and bot accounts attacking our community and put measures in place to stop it.

This past week we have had over 50,000 bots join the site and automatically follow users while also attacking our product infrastructure. We have since suspended these bot accounts. We must be vigilant against these attacks on our community and will be shifting to an invite-only system until further notice. GabPro members can create invite codes and invite friends, fans, and family.

It was recently reported that over 50% of Facebook’s users are potentially bots. It has also been reported that tens of millions of Twitter’s users are bots.

Gab has no interest in building a fake community filled with robots.

Gab is building a community for real people like You.

Thank you

Free markets are never free for long. They inevitably end up being controlled over time as power consolidates in one way or another. The best market is a tribal market. Profits are for merchants and their ideology. Loyalty isn’t a free market concept. Its a tribal concept. TBP is more of a tribe than a market. If you want profits, you have to appeal to the wider market, even if that means selling out. If you want your principles, then the “free market” is not your friend.
((((They)))) promote the free market, and they don’t want anything in there that includes identity. They want mass appeal for their markets and profits.
BTW “Rugged individualism”, like “free market” is a term (((They))) promote to keep us out of tribes and in their markets.
