Alex Jones, Paul Joseph Watson, Laura Loomer and Milo Yiannopoulos have been unpersonned by the digital tech giant Facebook and its subsidiary Instagram. They’re coming for you, next. Or more likely, for us.
Human Events stands shoulder-to-shoulder with those being routinely targeted by the would-be ‘Masters of the Universe’, no matter if we agree with them or not.
Also banned was Louis Farrakhan, the anti-Semitic leader of the repugnant Nation of Islam group. But Farrakhan, like the others, should not have his fate decided by some little nerd in Silicon Valley who has decided his or her feelings are hurt. His fate should be decided in the court of public opinion, with sunlight acting as the greatest disinfectant.
Unfortunately, recent precedent has informed Big Tech that its methods to some extent work.
The removal of people like Laura Loomer, Milo, and Tommy Robinson has directly impacted their livelihoods, their work, and their fundamental freedoms.

And while Farrakhan is far from someone we would be seen dead around, it is only intellectually consistent if the rules apply both ways. For the psychopaths of Silicon Valley however, intellectual considerations come a distinct last to power, profit, and pandering.
The likelihood is Farrakhan’s inclusion on the list is simply a sop to make the decision seem less of a one way street. If I were him, I’d be especially pissed off at being the fall guy in this regard.
But Jones, Loomer, Milo, and Watson have a claim to massive anger too, given they are being lumped in with a man who has said “white people deserve to die”, and who has said to Jewish people, “…don’t you forget, when it’s God who puts you in the ovens, it’s forever!”
Tommy now struggles to gain traction – albeit with a smile on his face – and a plan to drive a bus around the country with a big screen on it, to highlight the censorship he faces.
Milo – and he will probably hate me for saying this – faces total financial ruin.
Alex Jones has had a massive business ripped out from under him. And Laura Loomer has been relegated to staging protests on the front lawns of those who needlessly aggress her.
If all these peoples’ ideas were not relevant, or popular, they would not need to be banned.
The point is the political left and its establishment bedfellows know deep down the public is not on their side.

It’s no longer “cool” to be pictured at Google events. It’s no longer de rigeur to be on Facebook all hours of the day. The psychopaths are losing their grip, and like a wounded animal, are lashing out with all the might they have left.
There’s a trite quote about relationships that springs to mind:
“Relationships are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers.
With its latest move, Facebook is clasping its hand shut. It will surely lose in the long term.
And now is not the time for boomer conservatives to rant about “muh private companies” either.
The digital square and the public square in person have become inseparable.
Just as no one should be stopped from expressing edgy opinions in Hyde Park, nor should we accept a private corporation using its power as a means to stifle independent thought.
This is a civil rights issue, and I do not say it with a semblance of hyperbole.
What is happening to conservatives or nationalists is as important as what happened to Soviet-era dissidents.
Book ‘burning’ is already a thing.
The gulags do not follow far behind.
It is incumbent upon every single person to support the work of those they admire, or even just read. And it is equally important we defend the rights of those we disagree with.
And think about what this means for the rest of us.
Human Events – for example – is the oldest conservative publication in the country. It was the favorite magazine of one of the most popular presidents ever, Ronald Reagan.
But now those ostensibly more edgy than us are banned, it puts us the furthest on the right still kicking. That means we’re next. We’ve already been targeted.
The oligarchy of digital media needs to be smashed to pieces. And President Trump must surely now act before his voter base can read nothing but the Washington Post or the pseudo-conservative Bulwark.
Help us, President Trump. You’re our only hope.

I deleted when one still could, try deleting now….
Develop your own platform.
Paul Joseph Watson’s Twitter account is – for the moment – still up. As he points out in this 3 minute video, it’s not just about being banned from a platform. That’s just the start. They’re quickly taking control of everything, and doctrinaire “conservatives” will just reply “develop your own banking system” and “develop your own internet backbone”. Someday TBP will just disappear. We’ll never know why, but Jim will know that all of the ISP’s will have placed him on a banned list – just like StormFront. You’ll still have “free speech” – the freedom to print off flyers and staple them to telephone poles. Then they’ll ticket you for littering and organize a boycott of wherever you buy paper for your flyers. Conservatives’ retort will be “well make your own paper, then”.
Eh,at that point let the shooting begin/the hackers have a field day ect.
“Let loose the forgs of war!”
Every smartphone these days has enough power and storage to host a completely end to end encrypted social media network server. We have the technology in our hands, dont even need a desktop class cpu and hard drive any more. It’s just a matter of enough people being pissed off enough to go through the trouble of setting it up. Once its done, they wont be able to do SHIT about it, since it will be 100% decentralized.
“decentralized”
tell that to the telcos that run the cell sites. they’ll turn you off. cue the boomer “start your own cell site” drivel.
point to point, i.e. cell phone to cell phone direct would work. if you and i are standing next to each other. it won’t scale. it’s just a more expensive form of usb stick/sneaker net.
Scanning thru Netflix last night I had the misfortune to stumble across this ‘documentary’ about AOC, a pure propaganda puff piece, lying about where she got her campaign money. Michele and Barrack Obama now help control the netflix content and you can witness the results.
With the banning of alternative media sites no one will be around to contradict the lies and propaganda and that is the ultimate goal.
I realize may be hard to avoid fecesbook/gaggle/twaddle ect. completely but do NOT voluntarily use their bullshit,demotinize them!
Yes, demonetize them but they are the current public square.
Can you imagine spending years building something that finally becomes profitable (because people want it and serves the greater good) and have some snot nosed punk wipe that all out with the click of a mouse. Furious is one word that comes to mind and a lot more….
I don’t use any of them, but when 1/3 of all living humans have a Facebook account, they’re approaching- if not at – the point where telling people to simply avoid them is akin to telling people not to patronize the electric company.
Not using them is not something that we can do. We already do not use them. The trick is to find out who advertises on them and call their consumer complaint hotlines with complaints about their support of fecesbook/gaggle/twaddle. Become active. Passive does not work. You have nothing to withhold.
You may have seen that I dug into twitter the other day. It is a tiny little company that is very vulnerable to attack. So go after their funding. If any of you have any of these things please tell us what ads you see.
Twitter is oft linked at TPB for some time. There is a toe hold, and it could be a valuable weapon, turned on its masters. More importantly, the same must happen w google.
FB needs to wither and die, and its corpse must be embalmed at .gov.
Nervous System Manipulation by Electromagnetic Fields From Monitors: US Patent 6506148:
“Certain monitors can emit electromagnetic field pulses that excite a sensory resonance in a nearby subject, through image pulses that are so weak as to be subliminal……Such application would be unethical and is of course not advocated. It is mentioned here in order to alert the public to the possibility of covert abuse that may occur while being online”
Now, combine with this quote:
“Chamath Palihapitiya, the vice-president for user growth at Facebook prior to leaving the company in 2011, said, “The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops that we created are destroying how society works””
Ponder upon THAT.
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
We need to stop walking away and fight back against these assholes.
First they came for the Jews/And I did nothing.
Then they came for the blacks/And I did nothing.
Then they came for the illegals?And I did nothing.
Then they,well….they stopped coming,no one knows where They went,but the country enjoyed a level of peace and prosperity never before experienced or dreamed of.
Why did they come for those people?
Go do some research.
“Cricket” Haven’t heard anyone called that since a gal I new in Gates in 1980
They came for all those people?
I’ll just have a Coke.
Watch out for the HFCS by any other name.
I was looking for the statutes which allow bureaucrats at the FDA to rename items in our food supply so people no longer realize they are consuming that item, but the FDA maze online is hard to navigate.
I got into a discussion about the High Fructose Corn Syrup “issue.” Down here in Corn Country nobody badmouths corn and gets out unchanged. I was treated to a whole bunch of data sheets provided to farmers by the FDA to combat the ignorance regarding corn syrup. I do not want to argue with some of the farmers here. They are every bit as scary as IAM National Representatives. They just speak with a different sort of accent.
I visited Amish Country (at great peril!) today. The small bridge over the small creek is cracked and I insisted on watching other people drive across before I tried. A brave old man and woman asked me if I would go for help if their minivan started to wash away and I told them I most certainly would as soon as I got some good film footage for my blog post. They laughed and drove off. They didn’t realize I was serious.
There are a few more items and I picked up a Romaine Lettuce the size of my Pyr’s head for a dollar.
I believe the agency “started” in the 1970s, under Nixon. Do you know? I have gotten really interested in the changes in diet which impact mental health and made some discoveries which may or may not be worth sharing at some point.
Dr. Jay Nielsen. He’s the Jordan Peterson of Medical Experts.
One day I’m going to turn on the news and there will be video of a giant smoking crater where FB headquarters used to be, and there will be a hundred EMS workers buzzing around, and some dumbass will be asking what could have drove the “terrorists” to do this…
“Help us, President Trump. You’re our only hope.”
WOW! If you still think, in May 2019, that Trump is going to do anything meaningful on the behalf of any conservative cause, you’ve had your head up your ass for 2.5 years.
He pulled us out of Paris Climate ass rape, he told the UN to fellate their globalist Mugration Pact, and just last week he pulled the UN’s thorny cock out if your blown out asshole on the Small Arms Agreement.
So pull your head out of your ass.
Cuz I consider each one of those “meaningful”, bandwagon bitch.
“Migration” into the US is at record levels, so what if he talked smack to the UN? I guess Trump flapping his gums is all you need to be happy? Paris Climate accord – so what, pray tell has changed in your life? $5/gallon gas not enough? Bump stocks now illegal, and forget about conceal carry reciprocity. What has he done for you WRT guns? Looks to me like we have less gun rights in 2019 than we did in 2016. No, I’m pretty sure you’re the one with your head up your ass.
Once again doing exactly the wrong thing–if you don’t know what your enemy is planning or thinking how can you defeat him? All this will do is drive them further underground.
Remember when Watson was upset and incensed when everyone on the actual Right was deplatformed two years ago?
Neither do I.
If you think that any person (you wrote ‘man’) is our hope, then you’re so far down the rabbit hole that there is increasingly less – almost no – hope for you. There is no stopping what’s coming. If anybody doubts that, then show me – with actual verifiable facts, not emotion or ‘I just don’t believe that’ – of my error. Name one single area of our lives that is not wobbling on rotten tottering foundations, like the Eye of Sauron after the One Ring went into the fires of Mt. Doom. This shit storm is cresting and there will be more death and destruction sometime in the near future than we can comprehend. No glory, no avenging, no satisfaction when the dirt-bags get theirs. Oh, maybe for a moment, but right soon after we’re all going to be way too busy to even think of that crap. There will be some up-and-down because we are fighting it, but always inexorably diving to an unyielding ground, like a 737 with the engines cranking full on.
I would love to be wrong, and be embarrassed about it here in a few years, but being who I am I cannot ignore what is right before my eyes.
Doom porn? Fuckin’ A.
Except for a few who die before it all really hits, at a certain point we’re all going to go out, so what’s it going to be? On your knees begging to live another few hours/minutes/days, or maybe quicker but standing and being a free human being? Either way, we go out bloody. I’ll do it on my terms, thank you.
I’m exceedingly glad that I put my trust in Jesus, and not any flawed ‘man’. I sleep good at night, and fear nothing heading this way.
Except mad mother cows. Those I fear.
Yup, all that really matters is where we end up for eternity and who comes with us not so much how we get there.
Check this out…
“Help us, President Trump. You’re our only hope.”
“You’re barking up the wrong tree tovarich”
Trump won’t have to help Farrakhan.
That’s Obama’s buddy and he gets to play the nigga slave fictim card. WaPo is already backing the fuck up – saying Farrakhan’s not far right. The far right appreciates that, but Farrakhan is nine parsecs to the right of the Imperial Wizard.
https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2019/05/02/washington-post-scrubs-headline-calling-louis-farrakhan-far-right-no-correction/
Farrakhan couldn’t possibly be far, right? I mean, Ogrifta gave him liberal government contracts to mollycoddle criminals into maniacal, trigger-happy, whitey-hating muzzies.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/20/farrakhans-nation-of-islam-receiving-taxpayer-mone/
Farrakhan had a dedicated line into FreeShit.gov because he mentored Obunga’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright (married the Obungas), who preached terrorist attacks on the US (Wiki).
All Farrakhan has to do is pick up the phone and “Yo! Wanna flick my muzzie pez, Prez?”
Wonder how Farrakhan feels about being the “token” . . .
I know it has become “add Nausium” but
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
