Good day all. If you haven’t been paying attention for the last couple of years, it’s time to come out of your cave and look around. The group of mega corporations known as “Big Tech” have decided the time is right to flex their muscles and crush anyone who dissents, starting with a site known as Parler.com.
Parler is basically a twitter like social media site that, unlike Twitter, doesn’t censor people unless what they are saying is a violation of the law. (Such as threats of murder or posting kiddie porn and the like) Parler got it’s start a couple of years ago when Twitter started kicking people off the platform for holding such evil views as supporting the Constitution and liking President Trump.
Last week, Twitter and other platforms began a mass purge of anyone who they suspected of conservative leanings or supporting President Trump. On the orders of Jack Dorsey, President Trump was kicked off Twitter. President Trump and many others promptly moved over to Parler. This could not stand in the eyes of the leftist totalitarian tyrants running Apple, Twitter, Goolag and Amazon Web Services.
It started with a flat out threat from both Goolag and Apple that if Parler did not immediately start censoring it’s users, their Parler app would be removed from the app stores. Then, less then a day later, Amazon announced it was closing down Parler and throwing them off their platform. Parler will probably be offline by Monday Morning, January 11th, 2021.
Now, Twitter CEO has decided that this is the perfect time to start gloating. Here are the details from the Business Insider:
The chief executives of Parler and Twitter were at odds with each other on Saturday, as each posted on their own network about Apple’s ban of Parler. After Apple banned Parler for failing to remove content promoting violence, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey posted a picture of the Top Charts on the App Store. Before the ban, Parler had been the most downloaded app. By Saturday night, it was gone.
Dorsey added a heart emoji.
The CEO of Parler fired back.
On Parler, CEO John Matze responded by posting a screenshot of Dorsey’s tweet and adding his own comment.
“Yeah, we were number one until the fake news rage mob at Twitter and your anti-competitive friends went after us,” Matze wrote. He added: “That’s real cute.”
Yeah, about that. I have a sneaking suspicion that there was collusion between Crapple, Goolag and Twitter. Parler was growing by leaps and bounds until Amazon announced it was killing them.
Parler, which has become home to a growing number of conservative and alt-right voices, was banned from the app stores run by both Apple and Google. Both companies said the app didn’t do enough to moderate incendiary talk. “No change without bloodshed!” a Parler user wrote as the mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Wednesday.
Perhaps Dorsey and Zuckerberg should review what the Leftists have been saying for years and are now ramping up. Or, how about the things that Antifa has been saying and doing, along with BCLOM, just before they attacked people for just wearing a Trump MAGA Hat, then burning down some businesses.
Earlier on Saturday, Matze had posted about Apple’s ban, saying Apple wanted him to put in place “surveillance” policies.
“They claim it is due to violence on the platform. The community disagrees as we hit number 1 on their store today,” he wrote. He noted that “Hang Mike Pence” had become a trending topic on Twitter, before the network halted it.
I don’t spend a lot of time on Twitter, perhaps a few minutes a day. I don’t recall seeing that hashtag, and frankly, I wouldn’t have used it. Yes, Pence proved himself to be a RINO coward. His political career is over and dead. The Hang Mike Pence hashtag was nothing more then overblown hyperbole and would never be carried out, never mind the secret service detail around him.
On Parler, prominent users said banning it was a form of censorship.
“Apple and Google have now removed the Parler App. Welcome to political censorship! Spread the word so your fellow Americans know about this,” wrote Rep. Devin Nunes late on Saturday night.
I am on Parler, joining last June. Basically I was using it as a backup to Twitter and putting links to my posts on it. I fully expect to be booted off Twitter and had started looking for a Parler and also a “Post to Mewe” button. (Mewe is a Facebook style Social Media platform that also refuses to censor lawful content. Currently they are dealing with massive growth and it is affecting the performance of their site) I haven’t been able to find a plugin for either yet that works “Out of the box” with WordPress. The Angry Systems Administrator has been tasked to keep digging.
The actions of Big Tech smack of the same antics that the 19th and early 20th century Robber Barons used to pull. This led to the anti-trust actions that eventually broke up the monopolies they had created. Now people and politicians, surprisingly from both sides of the aisle are thinking that bringing Big Tech to heel might not be a bad idea. However, the leadership, along the fake President-Elect and the Fake Vice President-elect have both been bought and paid for by them and won’t do anything to reign them in.
President Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump on Saturday posted a picture of himself with the caption: “The MAGA movement is going nowhere. [President Trump] has created the greatest political movement in American history.”
President Trump was recommended to move over to Parler in case that jackass Dorsey ordered his account deleted, which he did. I have a feeling that this is one of the reasons that Big Tech colluded to shut down Parler.
Like Twitter, Parler users can also sign into the network on the web. But Amazon is reportedly removing the company from its Amazon Web Services. The platform may go offline Sunday night, unless it can find an alternative hosting platform, said Matze. It might be offline for a week. Matze said on Saturday the tech firms were working together to shut down Parler.
“We are the closest thing to competition Facebook or Twitter has seen in many years. I believe Amazon, Google, Apple worked together to try and ensure they don’t have competition,” he said.
Part of the shut down process is backing up all the data and getting it off Amazon Web Services. I have little doubt that Amazon would just trash the code and databases and erase the backups. This would basically end any chance of reconstituting Parler. This brings me to another thought.
What it looks like to most people is that there was an agreement to kill Parler. Parler has been growing rapidly the last few weeks as Twitter moved to kick anyone who believed in Freedom, Making America Great Again, Keeping America Great, and supported President Trump off their platform. There are also reports that when Hunter Biden asked that anything negative about him was posted, that it be taken down and the users blocked and banned.
Big Tech has made no secret of their hatred for President Trump, and his actions to put America first. His actions against the H1B visa program, a system put in place to allow cheap slave labor, mostly from India, to come in and displace American citizens and legal resident aliens, enraged them. Add to that being hauled up in front of Congress and asked what the heck they thought they were doing also infuriated the likes of Dorsey, Zuckerberg and others.
I have little doubt that these people got together and came up with a plan to do everything they could to rig the election, and they were caught out by Project Veritas doing just that. Now, thanks to these idiots, we have a person coming into the Oval Office who stole the election, someone who’s mental faculties are questionable at best, and who has never, in his entire 47 year political career, ever been right about anything.
People are angry and the actions of Big Tech are only fanning the flames of that rage. The actions of January 6th should have been a wake up call for Big Tech and the Deep State Uniparty. Instead, they saw it as yet another reason to move to crush the rights of the American People. It isn’t going to work. Parler will be back up soon enough. I have heard they have several offers to help them. As for Big Tech? Their time will come.

Yes, we are amazon associates, not that they pay us anything. All that Amazon needs a=is a significant change in management, or at least their outlook.
