Silence the opposition

The left is all in an uproar because “Let’s Go Brandon” is trending. This has gotten to the point where NASCAR is willing to disparage their fans as being racist so the sport can pander to a political ideology that wants to outlaw their sport.

The Charlotte Observer has this to say:

 If a phrase that when decoded meant “F— Donald Trump” somehow became popular, that shouldn’t be part of an athletic sponsorship for NASCAR or any other sport, either. 

The problem here is that the left did essentially say “Fuck the USA” when they began taking a knee during the National Anthem. They said “fuck you” when they blatantly kicked observers out of poll counting locations as they continued counting votes with the doors locked and the windows covered.

Let’s hope that having to see “Let’s Go Brandon” isn’t going to be the least of your problems.

A teen submitted a poem to her school newspaper, and the paper refused to publish it. She is suing. The reason for the refusal is that the teacher who was the editor declared that the poem was too controversial. The poem was about Chauvin and Floyd.

I hope she wins. Why? Because at its most basic, the lawsuit is not about free speech. After all, no one is telling this girl that she can’t say whatever she wishes. The crux of the argument here is whether or not a publisher can decide what they will publish. If the school newspaper can be forced to publish a George Floyd poem, then it can also be forced to publish another student’s poem about fraud in the 2020 election, or how the jab is killing people.

School newspapers have long suppressed those on the right. A decision in this case can only be in favor of the right. Why? If the girl loses, it is status quo ante. If she wins, the precedent can be used to the right’s advantage.

Amazon provides web servers for 40 percent of all online content. Companies like the BBC, Fox, Netflix, Capitol One, Coca Cola, and Twitter all use Amazon for their web servers. This is important because Amazon announced last week that it has created a team that will begin looking at content that it hosts to determine if that content is “a threat.” Threats will include what Amazon refers to as “extremist groups” who post “dangerous content” including misinformation, inciting violence, or extremism. In other words, double ungood think. Once these groups are identified, they will be eliminated from the server.

This places Amazon in the unique position of being in control of the Internet. Anyone want to take bets on whether or not things like Donald Trump, opposition to the jab, or the Second Amendment foundation will be permitted?

Smaller blogs like mine just don’t have the traffic to justify the expense of a dedicated server. I have a solution. I have set up a virtual server that is outside of the USA, beyond Amazon’s control, and will not respond to cancel culture arm twisting. The expense is a bit high for a small blog, but my aim is to make it more affordable by splitting the cost.

Your entire blog can be moved for a small fee and placed on that server. The cost for the server is $25 a month. You can even choose to pay it through my Patreon. If anyone is interested, drop me an email at divemedic@sectorocho.com. Put “won’t be silenced” in the subject line.

What is the difference between former President Trump, The Gateway Pundit, Milo Yiannopolous, Project Veritas, Mike Lindell and the Taliban? The Taliban is the only one that is still permitted to post on Twitter.

 President Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump) was permanently suspended “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”

Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, was permanently banned for unspecified “repeated violations” of Twitter’s “civic integrity policy”
