Month: June 2019

I started this blog because I am tired of social media and the mainstream media suppressing those they disagree with and bombarding us with their false narratives.

Everybody has the right to their own opinions.

Everybody should be able to express those opinions in a respectful way without fear.

The government is charged with protecting our constitutional right of free speech.

It’s very clear that corporations such as Google, Twitter, Facebook, and others have engaged in suppression of free speech. Deplorable.

On March 25, 2019, I posted this on Twitter.

The link went to a video of this statement by President Trump.

I received a few likes.

Someone commented and asked me if I really believe that Donald Trump speaks the truth. He, you see, was an Adam Schiff supporter and his opinion was that Adam Schiff is really an honest guy who stands up for America. He was a big fan.

I happen to think Adam Schiff is one of the most dishonest people in Congress. But, I didn’t argue with this guy. I answered his questions and I asked him a few and we politely agreed to disagree.

On Twitter. Two strangers. Agreed to disagree. Doesn’t sound real, does it? It happened.

Today, I went back that post to see who that guy was. I wanted to write him a message and get his opinion about Robert Mueller testifying next month after he was subpoenaed.

I clicked on the link I posted and got this.

Then, I noticed the Likes were gone.

The comments were gone.

I don’t care about how many likes or how many comments. What I liked was that I could have a conversation with somebody I don’t agree with and Twitter made that possible.

The entire conversation with that Adam Schiff guy is gone along with comments from a few others that followed the conversation and jumped in here and there.

So, I’m not sure why @jack is afraid of a guy with 18 followers and a picture a bald eagle standing in front of an American flag looking pissed, but there you go.

So, I retweeted me with a mundane response. Freedom of speech matters. Twitter, a company that has made billions of dollars allowing free speech for some stomps their fascist boot on the throats of those who don’t believe what they are supposed to believe.

I doubt if 18 people even see this and that’s not the point.

The news now is that social media companies have declared war on “hate speech”, which sounds pretty good. The only problem is that there is no definition of hate speech other than the fact that they block or shut down or de-monitize accounts due to hate speech and the only common denominator is that they don’t support Democrat, liberal, progressive, communist, socialist, fascist, etc. opinions.

So, the definition of hate speech is anybody who I don’t agree with is guilty of hate speech. No opportunity to be innocent until proven guilty because it’s not a court of law. It’s a website owned by a corporation that can do what they want.

Doesn’t hurt me financially. I am not making any money for this blog and I shouldn’t. I only post when I have the time.

I’m disgusted by this activity, but I am also not surprised. This is the whole reason my eagle is pissed off in the first place.

So, up this goes on my blog.

And on Twitter with a link to my blog.

I’m interested to see what happens. More to come?
