“Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out,” says David Horowitz, and they’re getting out. Truth Social so far seems like a damp squib, with a huge waiting list and not much action inside, but for Left-fascists such as Samuel O’Brient, even that is unacceptable. All dissent from the Leftist agenda must be crushed.
“Leftists Demand Big Tech Preemptively Censor Trump’s Truth Social,” by Jordan Boyd, The Federalist, March 4, 2022:
Former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social wants to make itself cancel-proof against leftist demands that Big Tech preemptively deplatform it.
So far, the increasingly popular free speech platform has already survived attacks from the corporate media hellbent on smearing anything associated with Trump. Now, leftists are wielding Jan. 6 as an excuse to demand Big Tech companies such as Apple thwart Truth Social before it even becomes fully operational at the end of the month.
In “Big Tech Could Save Us From ‘Truth Social,’” author Samuel O’Brient, who has a history of demanding censorship because he believes “Limiting Free Speech is Essential to Democracy,” argues that Big Tech companies should preemptively nuke the anti-political censorship platform simply because it is associated with the former president.
“Trump clearly wants to use Truth Social to rally his troops again and fire them up for another run at the White House. There’s almost no way that such a mission won’t include inciting violence in some form,” O’Brient wrote this week. “If Truth Social becomes a venue for hate-spewing and further insurrection-plotting, these big tech giants can buy themselves a lot of goodwill by honoring their credos and standing up to protect American democracy.”
While corporate media are still largely focused on downplaying the number of people abandoning propaganda sites run by the political actors in Big Tech, leaders at Truth Social know that a war on their attempt to offer a “family-friendly” social media site is coming and they are prepared to stop it in its tracks….

Yeah, I’m not getting the point about Truth Social. It asks us for our names and emails, but there is a reason a lot of us are anonymous – in this era of both Leftist cancel culture and jihadist death threats. I happily have profiles on Gab, Breitbart and Rumble, but I refuse to have one where I’m required to provide my real identity. What if Merrick Garland’s FBI decides to go after me?
I looked at the site today, and all it does is prompt one to download the Apple Store app. This site should have the option of working from a normal web browser on a computer, regardless of platform
So sorry, so far, I’ll stick w/ this site, Breitbart, Gab and Rumble

Agree. The cancel culture makes anonymity essential. The Left is so powerful, they can take away your job for trivial reasons and then remove your credit. The Left (as does Islam) demands to establish a monopoly on all thought and they are ruthlessly pursuing it.
James Lincoln says
So I guess that Samuel O’Brient still likes the POLICIES of Joe Biden over Pres. Trump.
Nuff said.
Larry A. Singleton says
I get blocked and censored and installed in these fascists “30 days” Soviet style gulag on a regular basis.
They’re cowards. Moral Cowards. I deal with these morons all the time. They Do Not READ. They’re culturally and historically illiterate and they will slit their own wrists before taking me on in a discussion or debate.
Here’s a fun thing to do. Ask the idiots you deal with; “What do you read?” And then sit back and wait for those stupid happy/frowny faces or more likely, the pleasant sound of crickets chirping.
Larry A. Singleton says
Is this site being hit with a malware virus? I was tossed onto some weird page.
Eleanor says
That has happened to me too Larry — goes to a blank page, and my comment is lost. Someone may know what it is. Happens only occasionally.

Seems to be OK now.

Quote; “There’s almost no way that such a mission won’t include inciting violence in some form,” O’Brient wrote this week.”
This is pure CALUMNY. O’Brient completely IGNORES the very real violence of the Left in American cities.
The Left demands a monopoly on communication and a monopoly on violent intimidation. Leftists want no citizen to have a right to self-defense against THEIR violence.
Such hypocrisy.

Who cares what this pimple faced kid thinks about the world, he just learned to wipe his own butt and now he is the expert on the world social and political situation. Reminds me of our bartender world leader AOC, lots of mouth not much substance.

They have a lot of power, unfortunately.

Letter to Samuel O’Brient 3-8-22
Hopefully this is the same Samuel O’Brient whose screeds I just read:
“Big Tech Could Save Us From ‘Truth Social’” and “Limiting Free Speech is Essential to Democracy” by Samuel O’Brient
Got a heads up on your leftist trash from:
“Leftists Demand Big Tech Preemptively Censor Trump’s Truth Social” by Jordan Boyd-The Federalist.
I have this thing. It’s called my “Morning Reading”.
I print out articles the night before and read them in the A.M. with my coffee and cigarettes. Like Winston Churchill, I do my reading in bed.
Winston Churchill, one of my heroes, described you and your Freedom of Speech hating buddies when he predicted the “Gestapo” these “Socialists” would become.
I deal with the useful idiots that think like you do all the time online. Like you they are cowards. Moral Cowards. Big on censorship, lazy thinkers when it comes to any kind of discussion or debate.
Can’t count how many times I’ve been Disappeared in Zuckerberg’s Soviet styled “30 days” gulag.
I’m Disappeared right now because of a latest thought crime that violated the “community standards” of Zuckerberg’s Stasi Thought Police.
I won’t go into your “January 6 insurrection” or “attempted coup” bullshit. Suffice it to say that when I do my morning reading I read BOTH sides of the issues.
That’s what it’s called Samuel; “Studying the Issues”.
Something you and your slobbering idiots obviously do not do.
Here’s what I’ve found. The idiots Do Not Read.
And my fakebook friend “Joe” is a perfect example. A rabid Trump hater.
While I almost literally eat leftists screeds like yours for breakfast, my buddy Joe flat out refuses to read any of the many articles from FrontPage, Gatestone Institute, Jihad Watch or Imprimis-Hillsdale College that I repeatedly suggest he read.
Like the other idiots I deal with online whom I ask; “What do you read?”
Nothing but the pleasant sound of crickets chirping in the morning or those stupid happy/frowny faces.
And that’s it.
The idiots are also culturally and historically illiterate. Tragically so.
Have you read that New York Times “1619 Project” Samuel?
I have. Printed these screeds out and read them in my morning reading.
And like Islam; I COMPARED.
I compared their leftist America hating trash to what I’ve read these many years as a student of history.
I’m a self-professed dumb-ass construction worker. But I’m a dumb-ass construction worker who READS.
Thanks largely to a Greatest Generation gra’mom who read three newspapers in the morning; The Los Angeles Times, Herald Examiner and our local San Bernardino Sun. Does that last sound familiar? Ask me about “Islamic terrorism” and my speaking out at a city council meeting after those jihadis slaughtered 14 county workers.
It was my gra’mom who passed on her love of books, reading and history to me at an early age. All her presents for my birthday and Christmas were BOOKS.
“love of books, reading and history” that leftists like yourself are totally deficit.
And what do idiots like yourself know about real issues?
Me and thousands of other veterans are being literally tortured at VA hospitals over Biden’s new policies regarding pain medication; “Opioids”.
Biden and the VA taking critically needed pain medication away from veterans at the same time giving out free needles and crack pipes to drug addicts.
Total Fucking Insanity.
And just one example of the total fucking insanity that has been Biden’s infestation of the White House, his policies and his colossal disaster and failure on every level from his “first 100 days” that you have been cheer leading every step of the way to today.
I keep thinking of how many times I’ve heard the words “insane” and “crazy” since Biden was installed like a toilet in the White House courtesy of a STOLEN election.
Here’s a suggestion for you. Here’s my list of my morning reading below.
READ them. And show me where they get it wrong.
I have issued this challenge hundreds of times to hundreds of idiots including “reporters” “professors” and so-called “experts” on everything from Islam to racism.
I’ve never gotten a response.
Do me a favor. If you do respond, don’t respond via gmail. I rarely, if ever, use it. Post on my Fakebook message feature. Or email me at; larryasingleton@yahoo.com. I rarely check out my email but I’ll keep a lookout for a few days.
I thought I’d go ahead and add a PS; I often like to say that I grew up surrounded by the Greatest Generation. That I’m 64 yeas old and I’m a witness. I’m a witness to the rapid moral decline of this country since the 1960s. You’re one of the results of this moral decline.
I Thank GOD for the Greatest Generation. You don’t even know what that means.

Just disgusting–but no surprise.
