Already some MAGA rioters have begun to learn about the power of facial recognition software, geolocation, and crowdsourcing. And, in a few weeks, the power of fully mobilized Federal law enforcement. Those who only lose their jobs (as some already have) will be the lucky ones.

Especially after the violence at the Capitol, it is past time for social media companies to take responsibility for the hate & disinformation on their platforms. The #StopHateForProfit coalition is calling on companies to #BanTrumpSaveDemocracy. More here: https://t.co/sRCfOzFtaq pic.twitter.com/LVFb9Opo4H

Proud of our #StopHateforProfit coalition – @ADL @NAACP @ColorofChange @FreePress @LULAC @CommonSense @Slpng_Giants @NHMC @Mozilla – & the companies, celebs & orgs who supported us. Thank you @SachaBaronCohen whose vision ignited this movement. There is more work to be done.

We cannot allow the historic & horrific events of the past 48 hours to fade without significant consequences. In our 100+ years of history, @ADL has never called for the President of the United States to be removed from office. Today, that changes. https://t.co/QWPplt3h6z

President-elect Biden on whether Capitol rioters should be treated as domestic terrorists: “Yes … They’re a bunch of thugs, insurrectionists, white supremacists, anti-Semites … and they’re terrorists — domestic terrorists.” pic.twitter.com/BpPnuSmE3L

The House must as an immediate step pass a domestic terrorism statute, with a focus on white supremacist terrorism, and send it to the Senate.

The man seen smiling and waving at the camera while carrying the lectern of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been arrested in Florida. Jail records show Adam Johnson is being held on a federal warrant. https://t.co/FM81q1m6l8

Adam Johnson has a wife and five kids. He didn’t actually steal the podium, he just clowned around a bit for a laugh and placed it in another room.
A West Virginia lawmaker and a man who broke into Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office and posed at a desk were among those arrested on charges related to the siege at the Capitol, officials announced on Friday. “We are far from done,” said an FBI official. https://t.co/wGXZzz3qau

Every politician, government official, journalist, & talk show host who has ignored & enabled Trump’s lies & corruption bears responsibility for the damage he has wrought.
Spare us the excuses. You failed the test of citizenship. It is now up to you to try to redeem yourselves.
— John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) January 7, 2021
Anyone now seeking national redemption by claiming to no longer support Trump must acknowledge how wrong it was to ignore & enable his corrupt, dishonest, & divisive agenda.
Total denunciation of a despot’s legacy is necessary to eradicate any remaining malignancy.

Steaming platform DLive has banned streamers connected to the Capitol riot, including Nick Fuentes, Baked Alaska (who streamed himself breaking into Congress), and Proud Boy rioter Nick Ochs.

After Twitter banned Trump, and Facebook and Instagram locked him out of his accounts, people started going to Parler…
And then…
Google and Apple ban the Parler app from Androids and iPhones.
And now Amazon bans Parler from its web hosting service.https://t.co/9BOm6qewlX

Remember how we were told Trump was the “threat to democracy?”

It’s finally hitting the controlled media that the “battle against white supremacy” is just a reboot of the “war on terror.”

There’s absolutely a new War on Terror being initiated — it’d been lurking for awhile, but it’s accelerating now for obvious reasons. This new one is aimed inward, domestically. It entails many of the same frameworks.

In case any of you doubt there is a new War on Terror underway: here’s a former CIA operative and Pentagon official now a member of Congress (a Democrat, needless to say), explicitly saying (on MSNBC, of course) that the new War on Terror is domestic:https://t.co/Sk6CT1M1Od

As I reported in Aug 2019, Foreign Policy even revived the WMD hoax by claiming “white supremacists” were “dangerously close” to acquiring “a nuclear weapon.”
The report was total BS and confused dirty bombs with nuclear weapons — which are millions of times more powerful. FP didn’t retract the article and instead stealth-edited it after they seeded the narrative.
We’re entering into very dark times.
We’ve been living in “post-America” for quite some time but now our ruling class are going balls to the wall trying to crush all dissent.
Ever since Trump’s election, they’ve just been doubling down and doubling down.

I don’t think it is going to work out as they expect.

I think the mass bannings could actually be a positive development if it gets people off of Facebook and YouTube and onto Gab and BitChute.
Imagine everyone switching to social media sites rigged to favor the right.

— BitChute (@bitchute) January 10, 2021
Both sites are overflowing with redpilled content and largely uncensored comment sections destroying sacred cows.
From what I’ve seen, pushing people onto alt-tech sites just makes them get “woker” than ever and censoring everyone just makes them more open to dissident ideas.
