Election rigging: It's not Russia, Russia, Russia - it's Google, Google, Google...

and Facecrap, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter.

Shadow banning, demonetizing, closing down sites, Facecrap "jail", and the myriad of other ways these social network sites and the largest search engine in the world have to silence conservative voices, has not even reached peak.

Now I know that many, if not most, conservatives doing research take into account the skewed results of any searches they may do.  I also know that most of us are willing to dig deep to find the truth - which includes using our brains and actually thinking.  What a concept.

My perusal of commie/libtards on Facecrap and liberal sites is that, by far, they either just post memes from sites like Democrat Underground or repeat mindless talking points without ever vetting what they're reading or repeating - with, of course, "racist" being lobbed about like a soccer ball on steroids.

With that in mind, and knowing that presenting the facts to these mindless drones is pointless, in the past I've taken the "what me worry" approach.

However, after listening to the testimony of this liberal professor to the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on "Google and Censorship through Search Engines" I've changed my mind somewhat. His testimony is chilling.

I might also have you take note of the respectful way in which Ted Cruz questions Professor Epstein.  Compare that to the angry insulting way Elizabeth Warren questions defense secretary nominee, Dr. Esper, interrupting and never allowing him to answer a question. Can you even begin to imagine this harridan as president of the United States?  I can't. e



Following is Dennis Prager's statement to the Committee and it's excellent!

"Dangerous" Paul Joseph Watson as you've probably never seen him discussing censorship...

just being himself.

Not only is he predicting his own future, but the future of free speech.

Facecrap figures strongly here.  I'm not overly bothered by the censorship on Facecrap, the adverts, or any of the other stuff people complain about.

My news doesn't come from Facecrap.  I don't look at their ads, and I don't spend an inordinate amount of time there.

The danger in that thinking is that millions upon millions of people do get their news from Facecrap, buy from their advertisers, and spend just about all day trolling the platform.

On the other hand I've learned over the years (many, many years) that people who are on the left (commies) are not going to be convinced by truth.  We've had many generations subverted by the siren song of the left and nothing is going to change their minds.

They've sent their children to state controlled schools who have indoctrinated them to the point of complete lunacy.  Instead of "Our Father, Who Art in Heaven", they now chant "Diversity is Our Strength" and "A Women's Right to Choose."

What do we do?

How about going direct to the source?  Nothing is stopping you from accessing these "dangerous" people on their sites - at least not yet. Will the left eventually get them off the internet?  I'm pretty sure that's where this is headed.

And if you think it's only the big sites being affected, you'd be wrong.  There is no doubt that I, as well as many of the other smaller sites, are being shadow banned.

The only thing I ever post on Facecrap is a link to my posts.  After culling my friends list it only has the potential to reach about 200 people directly.  I have several friends who "share" my posts adding another 1000 or so peeps.

In the past I would have at least 300 or more daily page views that came from Facecrap.  Guess how many I get now?  Zero.  That's right - zero.

Rep John Rogers (D-AL) proves (once again) that I can still be shocked...

sort of.

After Alabama passed a very restrictive abortion law, Rogers had this to say:
“Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or kill them later. You bring them into the world unwanted, unloved, then you send them to the electric chair. So you kill them now or you kill them later. But the bottom line is that I think we shouldn’t be making this decision.”
That's a well worn argument from the pro-death people so it's not completely shocking.  What is shocking is watching the commie left actually unmasking their real feelings.

When Donald Trump, Jr expressed dismay Rogers, in some language unknown to me, said:
I'm just going to cut and paste from the Washington Times since I have a very busy day ahead: 
Mr. Rogers responded to the criticism Thursday, saying he considered it “an honor” to be rebuked by the first son.  “His mother should’ve aborted him when he was born or he wouldn’t have made that stupid statement, right?” the state lawmaker told reporters. 
Mr. Rogers went on to say that Mr. Trump Jr. was “the best defense I got for abortion right there — looking at him.”  
“He’s evidently retarded. Uh, crazy,” he said. “Donald Trump’s son, I know there’s something wrong with that boy.” source




In other news Facecrap has banned a whole bunch of my favorite people.  Why?  Well it seems they tell the truth.

Out and (very) proud homosexual, Pete Buttigieg, is going to "vanquish America's demons."  Seriously?  We now have demons because we think two men having carnal knowledge of each other is perverted, unhealthy, and disgusting?

Project Veritas: Confirmed! Facebook is Scum... w/update

 James O'Keefe is on the job.

Update: 2/28/19  9:13am PDT  It appears Facecrap is blocking links to this post

I think most of us know this about Facecrap already.

A name that keeps coming up in the Project Veritas video is Mike Cernovich, who just released his documentary Hoaxed about fake news .  I'm not a huge fan of Cernovich, mainly due to an early video of one of his rah-rah motivational sessions.  In the first 5 minutes he bandied about so many f-words and s-words that I was appalled.  I'm not overly motivated when the speaker has to resort to such language.

If not for a local man of some conservative and political notoriety giving Hoaxed a firm 5 star review, I would probably skip it. Since our road is completely snowed over and we're hoping for a front loader to dig us out, I will probably watch it today.

In the meantime, take a look at what the Facebook "insider" has to say:
Project Veritas reported:
  • Insider, Formerly Responsible for Content Review in Facebook’s Intellectual Property Dept Speaks Out, Loses Job
  • Facebook Engineers Plan to “demote bad content”
  • Conservative Facebook Page Livestreams Secretly “deboosted,” No Notice to Page Owners
  • Facebook Can Classify Users as Trolls Based on Their Vocabulary, Then Punish By Limiting Bandwidth, Blocking Comments…
  • Facebook Engineer: “‘hateful’ content is coming from right-leaning sites.”
  • “Special features” Triggered “leading up to important elections”
  • Bizarre View of “hate speech” Includes Content from Conservative Commentator

From WND:
Describing itself as the “answer to Facebook and Twitter censoring Christians, conservatives and liberty,” a new social-media platform called USA.Life will officially launch Wednesday.
Founder and CEO Steven Andrew said he decided to use his Silicon Valley tech leadership experience to launch the project after he saw Facebook block millions of people from getting his posts.
Andrew believes Facebook lied to Congress about being “a platform for all ideas,” since they restrict President Trump supporters, Christians and conservatives.
“Facebook blocks 99 percent of my reach, which means 5 million people are missing per month from my account alone,” he said.
Andrew has led multi-million dollar initiatives for Cisco, Better Homes and Gardens, Sega and Stanford.
USA.Life is necessary, he said, because “censorship affects elections, people’s lives and relationships.”
Users can share photos, updates, news, videos and messages, and join groups.
“People can connect with those most important to them, too,” he said.
Andrew set up a crowdfunding page to launch the project, saying USA.Life is for all who love America.

“We don’t have the billions of dollars Facebook, Google and Twitter have, so we need people who want freedom and privacy to contribute what they can,” he said

Facebook and Twitter "Jail"...

for what?

The reason always given is "violating community standards" or some other equally specious reason.  What it really means is "I don't like what you said and therefore I'm going to punish you."

Over the last few days I've had friends of mine on Facebook who have just been released from "jail."  We're not talking about high profile peeps - just ordinary small town folks.  One of them has a grand total of 91 friends.  I have no idea what they did, but if Facecrap is censoring these peeps, what in hell are they doing to the big guys? 

While wandering around this morning I learned from the esteemed Bunkerville that Benghazi hero Kris ‘Tanto’ Paronto had his Twitter account suspended for responding to Odumbo's remarks about Benghazi being a conspiracy theory.  The Gateway Pundit has more on the situation: TWITTER SUSPENDS BENGHAZI HERO After Criticism of President Obama!

There is no doubt that these social media platforms have become the dominate form of communication in our world edging out emails, telephones, and hand written letters. There is also no doubt that, along with the Google search engine, the commie/marxist/libtards are in control. 

It was just a few days ago that I spoke on how Google search is skewed left and conservative voices are silenced.  We also know that Facecrap and Twitter "shadow ban" people who espouse views which are more conservative. 

I don't "do" Twitter even though I have an account.  As for Facecrap, I only link my blog posts and then Facecrap decides who will see it.  I've determined darn few of my friends see my posts. However, when I think about quitting Facecrap as a ridiculous waste of time, I realize that I would have no way of knowing about local events, political meet and greets, or great local restaurants.

What to Do, What to Do?

I will admit that if it weren't for Twitter we'd never hear the truth about the Trump administration.  Even Twitter realizes that to put the president of the United States in time out would be suicidal for their business model. 

But, what about the rest of us?

I would never presume to tell you what to do, but here's what I'm going to do:

  1. Starting today I will severely limit my interaction on Facecrap to 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening - which is still more than they deserve.
  2. I will (once again) refrain from accessing every news site and blog and limit my daily online reading to a total of 30 minutes, which I admit will be difficult. 
  3. I will continue to respond to comments, but limit it to three short sessions per day.
In order to change a habit that one has deemed detrimental it is imperative that the bad habit be replaced with a more savory habit.  So I have made a list of activities that would be of more benefit for my mental and physical health.

Question:

If you quit spending untold hours online, what would you do instead.  Inquiring minds want to know.

Trying hard to care...

about anything going on now.

Every day I'm finding it harder and harder to come up with anything the least bit interesting to say or think about the world we inhabit.  I was hoping that my Wednesday sojourn at history club would restore my default buttons to "give a sh*t", but that hasn't happened. If anything, it's made it worse.

Syria? 

I have no idea of what's going there.  From reports from people I trust, it looks to be a bunch of fake news propagated by the left to bring down Trump by hoping he will make the wrong decision.  You see, everything today is about bringing down Trump.

Facecrap and Zuckerberg?

 Nope.  He's a little beta male weasel.  Don't like what he's doing?  Simple.  Just leave Facecrap and get on with your life.

Calling for Facecrap to be regulated as to the veracity of what it posts is very dangerous.  Who decides what's true and what's fake? What's to stop the left from regulating conservatives completely out of the public eye?  Absolutely nothing.  They're already doing this by stealth so why would would we want to throw the weight of a law behind what they're doing?

Michael D. Cohen

Which brings us to the raid on the offices of Trump's personal attorney, which is just another way for the commies to discredit and attack Trump.

Many days ago I started the post below and never finished it. 

Keeping Silent to Keep Family Peace Makes You Part of the Problem... 
harsh, but true. 
I have a few people in my family who are closet conservatives surrounded by raging commie/liberals.  They refrain from ever expressing their views in a misguided effort to keep the peace. 
It's hard to fight back against a pack of libtards who believes in some Utopian fantasy which claims people can be made perfect - and, by gosh, if those misguided conservatives don't do it on their own, they'll ram it down their throat.

To finish what I started:

Keeping silent is the way the left has been able to ram their unholy agenda down the throats of everyday God loving and fearing decent people.  The commies on the left don't keep silent.  They shriek and scream.  They call you names. They bully and intimidate, and many conservatives just stand by and let it happen.

That is not keeping the peace.  That's called surrender and agreement. 

Stop It!

Twitter is run by Commie twits...

and so is Facecrap.

According to The Daily Caller:
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey aroused controversy after labeling a Medium article “great” that claimed there’s no “bipartisan way forward” in the United States and that the country is engaged in a “fundamental conflict between two worldviews that must be resolved in short order.” 
Dorsey shared the Medium article on his personal Twitter account Thursday night, with the accompanying acclaim that it was a “great read.” read the rest
There you have it - the CEO of Twitter thinks a civil war, wiping out the GOP, and becoming more like California is the only way forward.

These people on the left, champions of anything perverse, ugly, and barbaric announce to the world what they believe and everyone yawns and tweets about it - unless, of course, they've had their conservative butts pitched off the site.

I have very limited presence on Facecrap, mostly just linking my articles to my very small group of friends, and there is no doubt in my mind that my posts are shadow banned.  

My main use for Facecrap is to keep abreast of local political events like town halls.  I'm working on a solution for that problem that doesn't involve Facecrap, but instead sets up a email notification system for interested peeps. 

It's time to quit complaining and look for solutions.

Is Facebook going down the tubes?...

probably.

Yesterday at history club, which meets at a popular local restaurant, I headed off to the rest room.  On the journey I witnessed an upper middle aged couple sitting in a booth with their heads bowed reverently over their smart phones.

On the way back the same couple now had huge taco salads in front of them, but were still completely absorbed with poking and swiping at their phones.  There was no indication that they had communicated with each other.

Understand - these were not teenagers, but people who had probably aged into their 60's.

The latest outrage is over Facecrap having a feature which allows third parties to scrap your information.  It also appears that messages you thought were private were not very private at all.

Well, duh!

The outraged among us (I'm not one) want, no - demand the government do something about this.

The problem is not the government's to solve.  It's your problem to solve.  Either quit putting your private life all over the internet, or just accept the fact that you gave away your privacy with the first password you dreamed up many years ago.

Willing Suspension of Disbelief...

don't do it.

Unless, of course, you're reading a really good book, or being entertained at a movie.

According to Scientific America:
Poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge coined the term “suspension of disbelief” in 1817, but almost two centuries would lapse before we could infer how the brain might support this puzzling phenomenon. Coleridge asked readers of his fantastical poems, including The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, to give him “that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith.” That phrase, “poetic faith,” encapsulates what our brain is doing. It isn't that we stop disbelieving—it's that we believe two inconsistent things. We accept that we are sitting and reading or watching a movie. We also believe or, more accurately, feel that what we are reading or viewing is happening. more
Without an ability to suspend belief, there would be no reason for most novels, TV, or movies to exist because they would simply annoy us rather than entertain us. 

Key to what Scientific America is saying is their statement,  It isn't that we stop disbelieving—it's that we believe two inconsistent things.

The problem is MSM is requiring us to suspend belief in order to believe the lies they peddle. The even bigger problem is by dumbing down our educational system we have a vast number of people who do that very thing in order to sleep at night.

On Saturday, the communists and budding communists will take to the streets in a new march to take firearms away from law abiding citizens thinking it will solve the problem of "gun violence."  You know - when rogue guns go all berserker, jump out of a drawer, and proceed to blast away at unsuspecting victims. 

It's takes a massive dose of willing suspension of disbelief to think rogue guns are the problem. To fix the problem, the liberal mind sinks into a life of cognitive dissonance which is a crazy making way of living.  The only way out of the predicament is to come to the point in life where it's impossible for them to "square the circle" of dissonance in their thinking. 

Giving this some thought, a person would have to conclude the liberal brain meter needle is frozen on willing suspension of disbelief.

And anyone who suspended their disbelief in order to think that cruising around the internet with their data protected is in need of serious help.

I've been using it extensively the past few days on Amazon products and so far it seems to back up my "gut instincts."

Facebook, Facebook, Facebook replaces Russia, Russia, Russia...

or it could morph into Russia hacked Facebook.

Who the hell knows - or cares.

If you are one of 100 or so peeps in the world who doesn't understand that Facebook exists to make money off of you and your information, then you need to have a brain transplant.

Rush did a masterful job of explaining this newest "crisis" yesterday and WND has a good summation of what he said - and I thank them.

Crisis?

I give you the closing paragraph on a Bloomberg article: (emphasis mine)
Zuckerberg and Sandberg plan to remain quiet on the Cambridge Analytica situation until the company completes its internal review of what happened, according to a person familiar with the matter. Until they do, questions about Facebook’s ability to cope with the Cambridge Analytica crisis will undoubtedly persist.
No, Bloomberg.  This is not a "crisis."  Not even close.


Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot Justine Damond turns himself in;

About time!


No one should take joy in the killing of 17 year kid who took a gun to a school intending to do harm to others.  But it was the right outcome. Whether the officer's bullet killed him or he killed himself is still not known.

A recurring question in my mind is why parents allow their children to attend a state run school. 

Which brings me to an article by Lloyd Marcus at American Thinker today - Homeschooling: The Best Hope for America's Future. emphasis and comments in red mine
Homeschooling is far superior to government indoctrination camps, obsessed with teaching social justice, white guilt, gun control, homosexuality, abortion, and conspiring against and disobedience toward parents.  (Ummm - that's called communism)
[...] Popular among home-schoolers is the VARK model theory, which outlines four kinds of learners.  Some kids are visual learners.  There are auditory learners, reading-writing learners, and kinesthetic learners.  By understanding how your child processes information, you can design a teaching program that is right for him.  This ain't happenin' in government school halls of mass mediocrity.  (Yep!)
Meeting countless families with children in my ten years of traveling as a political activist, I learned to immediately recognize homeschooled children.  They were happy, calm, polite, articulate, filled with information, and confident, always looking me in the eye when speaking to me.  (That has always been our experience with homeschooled kids.)  read the rest

Facebook and Nazis in the News...

it's not completely clear which is which.

Over the past weeks the number of articles attacking the tactics of Facebook are springing up everywhere.

There is no doubt that Facecrap can become a dangerous time sink - stealing from us the only real thing we possess - our time.

How many books are not being written, paintings conceived of and executed, books not being read, children not being attended by their parents, and relationships destroyed by the constant need to "just check Facecrap for a minute?"  We all know that minute turns easily into a hour or two.

Here's just what I ran into this morning:

Facebook shares slide after reports of data misuse

Facebook may have broken FTC deal in Cambridge Analytica incident

Facebook apologizes for search suggestions of child pornography videos





Was Trump Elected Because of Cambridge Analytica Facecrap Data Mining?

The art of propaganda was conceived of when Satan convinced Eve that eating the forbidden fruit would give her access to all the knowledge of the universe.

Somewhere over the years we started calling it advertising.

Does anyone still believe that the purpose of advertising is nothing more than telling you about the wonders of a product without utilizing polls, questionnaires, and human psychology?

The difference today is it's done at the speed of light.

The only thing people are upset about what Cambridge Analytica did is because it may have benefited the Trump campaign.  You see if the opposition research is done for the benefit of the left, it's A-okay.  

Obama practically had an office set up at the Facecrap headquarters, but that's been buried by the dishonest, lying, venomous, skewed MSM.

I have a Facecrap account and fully understand that they collect my data.  However, I am presently worried about the time I waste looking at things that are of no use to me.  Using it for keeping up with local events is important to me.  

I also link my posts in an effort to reach a few more people.  There is also not one teeny doubt in my mind that Facecrap has started to shadow ban my posts. 

I have decided to severely limit the time I waste on Facecrap.  If I can't honor my decision, I will delete my account.


So How About the Nazis?

From Frontpage Magazine:

Neo-Nazis on Campus
The David Horowitz Freedom Center’s bold new campaign to expose the rampant anti-Semitism and dangerous, genocidal rhetoric of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and the Muslim Students Association (MSA) and their student supporters across the nation is officially underway.
The campuses of four California universities –UC BerkeleySan Francisco State University, UCLA, and USC— have already been blanketed with hard-hitting, fact-based posters that detail the virulent Jew-hatred of these activists and the neo-Nazi-sympathizing professors who try to grant them moral authority. read the rest
And from World Net Daily:

Grassroots Effort that "Defeated Evil Empire" Rekindled
Half a century ago, the leaders of a synagogue in Cleveland erected a banner in front of their building to call attention to Jews who were being persecuted by the communist Soviet Union. 
They couldn’t have imagined at the time that they were launching a movement that went even beyond saving the Jews they cared about: It helped bring down the entire Soviet Union. 
One observer, noting how the grassroots effort led to legislation that put economic pressure on the Soviet Union – a tactic emulated and expanded by President Reagan – summarized the story this way: “A few people with signs led to the destruction of an empire.” 
That’s the inspiration behind a new effort by a growing coalition of activist groups called Save the Persecuted Christians. read the rest
 This is an important point for you to consider:

When we speak about Nazis, Marxists, Fascists, Bolsheviks, SJW's, liberals, progressives, and feminists - to name just a few, we are talking about only one thing:

Communism... 

the desire by a group of people to create utopia on earth and willing to cram it down your throat by force if necessary.

Why?

Because they have no concept of the true meaning of freedom.

Cup it Up American Grill in Tucson posts conservative message on Facebook and ends up closing due to threats...

while I understand the concept of free speech, I think a cafe should just be a cafe and not make political statements.  But that's just me.

However - if they do make a statement they, their family, or their employees should not have to suffer death threats either. 

Isn't it enough to just eat somewhere else if you object.

I keep asking this, but what the hell is wrong with people?
An Arizona was forced to close its doors indefinitely this week after a politically charged Facebook post the eatery’s owners wrote prompted mass criticism from social media users. 
Christopher Smith and Jay Warren, the owners of Cup it Up American Grill in Tucson, posted a statement on the restaurant’s social media page last week with a list of things the two support and resent, including the president kneeling for the anthem and late night hosts, Vice News reported. source
But what I really find appalling is the number of violent and ugly commenters calling them "racists" and threatening violence against them. 

Nothing they said is the least bit racist.  They didn't say they wouldn't serve black, green, or orange people.  They didn't say they wouldn't sell food to registered democrats.  They even specifically said they were against hate crimes and hate groups.  

Is "racist" some sort of default position for anyone who doesn't agree with you?  

Here's what they said:


Please point out the racism to me.  Thank you in advance...


Facecrap Assault


And check out this woman who just attacked me on my Facebook page - a woman I don't even know, in response to my last post on Hillary Clinton.  I have deleted the names of my friends and replaced them with question marks to protect their privacy.  

She has since deleted her parting shot.  I guess the irony finally got to her.  And guess what???  Her Facecrap page has disappeared too.
