"You are threatening a lot of power bases; Big Pharma,Big Tech,Mainstream media,Democrats, possibly intelligence agencies, see what you are up against?And that's just locally.
Internationally, you have the Chinese, the EU and a myriad of other countries.
Stay safe and secure Doc!"
China can shut down the American economy every time they release a virus
This is the threat. The precedent has been set that government can shut the country down completely for public safety. The threat is not foreign, it is domestic. We have way more to fear from Ds and deep state than we do from China.
Didn't a bunch of retards at the CDC want to declare racism a public health emergency? If the government can shut down anything they want in response to a public health emergency... you can see where that's going.
First economic shutdown.
Then Rent strikes and demands for unemployment extensions.
Then a communist new deal.
That was plan A. Probably abandoned at this point.
Plan B--
Biden "wins" the election.
Trump says "not so fast, you cheated, I have proof".
Trump refuses to leave office. Legal battles ensue.
While legal battles go on, Biden declares himself the true & legitimate president, and sets up a government in exile in Seattle or LA.
Not much happens for a few months.
A few months into 2021, states start to secede from the "fake & illegitimate" USA that Trump is running, and join Biden's "real" USA.
Then John Titor's prediction, a few years late.... Civil war which leads to nuclear war.
I have no idea where to find John Titor stuff. Hard to find anything other than nostalgia articles with summaries (with varying degrees of accuracy).
Basically, he predicted a civil war in united states in 2013. Sides would be cities vs rural populations. Russia and China smell weakness, and get cute, which leads to limited global thermonuclear war. All our cities get nuked, leaving the rural population the civil war winners.
This is just the common cold. Imagine they release something like a longer lasting swine flu. We're finished. The 15 days should have never been extended to 45. That was the basis for Dems grabbing control of everything.
I've been thinking about this lately, and while it seems that our side hasn't decided to fight, it's because these people are at a war with their own neighborhoods... Democrats attacking Democrat cities filled with Democrat officials. Should our side really even get involved at this point...? Let them destroy themselves for now, I think.
This is an interesting point, and I think you're right in calling out that we ought to consider the long term outcome from this.
Because it's flatly obvious to anyone with more than a room temperature IQ that the left is, perhaps for the first time in decades, responding as reactionaries rather than having any sort of strategic goal in mind.
What I mean by this is probably best summed up by their plans. For example: We know they want to take away guns, right? But they also decided that the first thing they need to do (and are actively doing right this minute) is to defund the police.
Think about this. There is no reason this is something they should even be considering at this point, which tells me that they're behaving more on knee jerk response to external stimuli than strategically thinking about outcomes as they have for years.
The left has, for years, placed significant effort into controlling things like education and the schools so they could produce people either dependent on the state or so consumed by leftist ideology that they have no capacity for independent thought. Of course, perhaps this was also a strategic mistake, because these are the same people who are largely rioting and destroying everything.
We do need to do something, eventually, but remember: Never interrupt your enemies when they're making a mistake.
I think this is a particular point that was totally lost on Milo Yiannopolous a while back. He was upset that conservatives were just shrugging and happily letting the cities burn. He (wrongly, IMO) assumed the left would successfully pin this on us by way of our inaction and largely neutral response. I think it's backfiring on the left, because they own this.
They own the destruction of their own cities. They can't get out of this no matter what happens, because no matter how much they blame President Trump on national television, the people in the cities know who was proudly proclaiming "let's defund the police" just a few short weeks ago. They know who was telling the police to stand down while their downtowns burned.
which tells me that they're behaving more on knee jerk response to external stimuli
Possible. The other possibility is that they have succeeded in their takeovers of education and media and this is the outcome of the constant decades of demoralization and what we're seeing is the desired outcome.
Chaos, destruction, revolution, splitting the country in two, and we will see the grand finale this fall when they refuse to accept the election results and declare Trumps government illegitimate and begin to secede from the US.
So far they're pretty successful because they know we're decent people who just want to be left alone and live in a Thomas Kinkade or Norman Rockwell painting. We speak softly but put away the big stick, because that's what the good guys do. They know it and count on it. I think there's truth to that quote about strong men leading to good times leading to weak men leading to hard times. We just assume it's the "gibmes" being the weak men, but us "silent majority leave me alones" are too. Things have to get much worse and hopeless for decent people to start mustering courage to replace the complacency.
Pretty soon? Did you miss when they flat out started deleting the President’s tweets? Or how they’ve been throttling his traffic for months if not years? They keep pushing and conservatives keep doing nothing about it, which is why they keep pushing.
It involves reclassifying every single Social media company as a PUBLIC UNITY
I think that's not true.
What they're looking at is the safe harbor provisions under the Communications Decency Act (section 230) which defines a platform versus a publisher. It's been a point of contention for a while.
Leftist lawyers say you can't do anything about it. Most people suggest that reclassifying Twitter et al as publishers (rather than platforms) means they're suddenly responsible for all the illegal content on their platform, in addition to many other ills.
I don't think there'd be much value attempting to classify Twitter et al as public utilities. It makes FAR more legal sense to strip their section 230 provisions.
"When you cut out a man's tongue you are not telling the World you are not afraid of him, you are telling the World you are afraid of what he has to say."
all these intellectual liberals experiencing the jack boot of an oppressive regime forced to consider that it's actually the duly elected president of the United States who is trying to give the power back to the people.
I'm sure this retard still thinks orange man bad though.
Why is that? They are based in the US. Do they have a reputation for standing up to cancel culture or hosting large conservative websites? An explanation would be helpful.
Yea you're right; although they did use Epik to register the domain name but that doesn't necessarily mean they are using it to host TD. https://www.whois.com/whois/thedonald.win
Ditto, static site generators like Hugo, Gatsby, and even Jekyll; then host it on Netlify and cruise control. The CD is easy too, you can get it to automatically deploy anytime you make a change! You can even host static sites on an AWS S3 Bucket for peanuts.
The frightening part is that they’ve accelerated their control EVEN WITH A REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE BRANCH! I can’t imagine what would happen next time democrats control the executive.
Even the hosting companies are turning against us. Next the ISPs will start cutting people's hard lines so their home servers go dark. Better call Elon Musk for access to Star Link lol.
This really worries me. The spirit of the argument for Net Neutrality was that the ISPs wouldn’t be allowed to do this, or to throttle you to the point your website is inaccessible. No idea where it stands now. I agree that it shouldn’t be managed by unelected bureaucrats at the FCC, but I believe Congress should pass a law mandating that ISPs must be common carriers to the extent that they can’t turn you away or censor you for free speech, if this isn’t already a law.
Don't quote me but ISPs may be classified as utilities and thus can't cut service unless you are violating the law. Nazis and KKK can't have their power or water shut off just for political ideology. Keep in mind this is Clown World now and new rules may apply!
Good point, censorship proof money is the answer. Bitcoin as of now is the most secure and most censorship resistant currency in existence. Unless you want to pay your bills in gold and silver.
What if StarLink evolves into a parallel global network for free speech as the ISPs start cutting service to wrong-thinkers, and eventually refuse to route traffic from StarLink's network?
Star Link probably doesn't have the bandwidth to handle current internet traffic. Lets just hope it doesn't come to that or we might all be screwed. I don't want to pin all my hopes on Musk either.
It's difficult to take a site seriously when it's done with Squarespace, Wix or any of those drag and drop platforms. For something this important, they should hire a real web developer and host it themselves. There are plenty of based web developers out there.
SPEZ: Looks like four people with crappy Squarespace/Wix. sites have checked in to downvote. Learn to code. Basic HTML/CSS is a breeze.
I've solo-developed websites with more traffic than thedonald in PHP and MySql. If you said this a few years ago, I would have agreed (minus the self-hosting part, which is a bad idea for almost everyone with a serious website).
For basic websites where you just need to show information, sell a product, etc. site-builders have become annoying good. 98% of the population can not hard code a generic website better than a site-builder for static, generic websites. Now, if you need to build an application online, then you need to actually learn how to code.
That said, It is hard to find a quality host. The vast majority are either factory farming users on over-utilized or outdated equipment, and would be thrilled to get rid of any single customer which utilizes their time or attention. Or, they are giant tech oligopolies of the likes that are instigating cancel culture to begin with.
The issue is they know nothing about design, layout or even navigation. It's easy to drag-and-drop crap here and there, but they end up with an unusable site. They often cram everything onto one page because they don't even understand how to create multiple pages or the importance of doing so. I've seen even basic websites with very little content that were garbage simply because they didn't know how to organize what they had into something usable.
Also, without basic knowledge of HTML or CSS, they're left with whatever boring crap they get out of the box. I've both developed and consulted on websites and quite often it results in redeveloping some piece of garbage someone tried to put together with a builder.
SPEZ: I think the bigger problem here is they're creating a very important website that is likely going to be visited by thousands of visitors a day. The builders aren't for that. The builders are better off for photos of grandma's quilts.
I do agree with the hosting issues. GoDaddy, 1and1, HostGator, etc. are the names everyone flocks to. There are plenty other places to host however. Even some abroad that won't give a crap about their politics. It's not easy finding those, which is another reason an experienced developer can come in handy.
Knowing a little HTML and CSS doesn't fix those problems for most people, it makes it worse. You can't fix bad taste, and half-finished websites with little content is not an HTML or CSS issue. Also, a lot of web designers now do little more than configure site-builders for people who can't turn on a computer, and bill a couple thousand dollars. After a designer is finished with it, it still needs to be easily maintained and updated, and nobody is going to go through the trouble of coding a content management system from scratch for a webpage designed to host static information.
The developers which can actually build a working full-stack website from scratch are far outside of the budget of most people, and for a generic webpage the difference between that and a modestly competent drag and drop website is not going to be noticeable to 80% of visitors.
they're left with whatever boring crap they get out of the box
The alternative to cookie-cutter design is mySpace 2004. Idk if you're old enough to remember those days, but most people have no business exercising their creative aesthetics when it comes to making a webpage. The amount I despise bootstrap cannot be measured, but I'd rather most people have boring websites than broken ones.
Knowing a little HTML and CSS doesn't fix those problems for most people, it makes it worse.
It makes them realize those platforms aren't very good and that, if they want a real site, they probably need help.
Also, a lot of web designers now do little more than configure site-builders for people who can't turn on a computer, and bill a couple thousand dollars.
Those aren't web designers. Those are liars with a lot of time on their hands who are stealing people's money. I've literally heard jaws drop over the phone when I tell people how their crappy site was actually developed after they paid a thousand dollars for a free template, copy/paste job.
After a designer is finished with it, it still needs to be easily maintained and updated, and nobody is going to go through the trouble of coding a content management system from scratch for a webpage designed to host static information.
They're not looking hard enough. There are people who will maintain it, host it, update it and take care of the headaches for a reasonable fee. That's not something for grandma's quilt website or photos of your stamp collection. If you're running a real business or organization or something as important as the information in the OP, shell out the money and get it done right. We've now seen the consequences of what can happen when you don't. I've helped a LOT of people who would rather pay a small fee than deal with the builders and the hassles involved.
the difference between that and a modestly competent drag and drop website is not going to be noticeable to 80% of visitors.
You'd be surprised. I've seen sites that go both ways and the difference is noticeable in many cases. Particularly once the layout and navigation issues are fixed.
most people have no business exercising their creative aesthetics when it comes to making a webpage.
No. And those people are eventually going to destroy their "builder" site because they screw up even simple edits. I've seen people screw up something as simple as a bulleted list.
I'd rather most people have boring websites than broken ones.
I can't count how many times I've seen the "builder" sites result in both.
I have a crummy WIX site but it's a portfolio/resume type thing, I ain't posting my personal feelings on there, fuck no, the domain name is solid. Private pseudonyms for public base posting.
That's one of the few reasons I can see someone using Wix/Squarespace. You don't need navigation, many graphics, it's not something you need to spend a lot of time developing since it's mostly copying/pasting text, you won't get a lot of traffic and SEO isn't an issue.
There is no negotiating with the left. The right has to begin to consider non-electoral avenues for change in America. We need to be looking at permanent solutions to the problems of the left. We are now battling a political party which is clearly pushing for communism.
I want Trump to focus on the censorship of conservatives like he would focus on 10 border walls, 10 trade deals, and 10 pandemics COMBINED. We want to KAG after Trump? Shit will be impossible if we can't add to the marketplace of ideas. Come down on the tech fuckers like Thor's hammer!
Squarespace makes it easy to create your own website using our simple tools. It also makes it easy for them to delete your website for having the wrong opinions.
Remember they withdrew HCQ studies based on a study that was RETRACTED!!!
Every single link that explains why they retracted it goes to a page that links to that same Lancet study. Meanwhile these are the latest treatment results with HCQ.
They are basing their WITHDRAWAL on RETRACTED research that will NEVER see the light of day again whilst IGNORING CURRENT RESEARCH!
Entities that control the flow of money should not be able to refuse business for any other reason than clear cases of illegal activity. This type of censorship is the most agregeous, far more than social media or regular media. Banks, Visa, PayPal, Squarespace should be legally bound to serve customers so long as those customers are not breaking the law. If people want to give $100K to shit head TDS sufferers on GoFundMe, that is those people’s right. Take your percentage of the cut and keep your mouth shut.
Controlling people’s right to prosperity is no ones power.
so are we all still talking about sitting back and just continuing to let them do whatever the fuck they want? wake me up when we stand up and start firing guns at these people.
Very first reply cuts right to the chase, too:
"You are threatening a lot of power bases; Big Pharma,Big Tech,Mainstream media,Democrats, possibly intelligence agencies, see what you are up against?And that's just locally. Internationally, you have the Chinese, the EU and a myriad of other countries. Stay safe and secure Doc!"
This is the threat. The precedent has been set that government can shut the country down completely for public safety. The threat is not foreign, it is domestic. We have way more to fear from Ds and deep state than we do from China.

Don't sound crazy, really.

strange related question.... what year do you remember john titor being around in...?
Legend has it you can just go to Donald Trump's twitter feed to read present-day Titor's posts
I’ve had the same predictions all except that last one. Very troublesome
This is just the common cold. Imagine they release something like a longer lasting swine flu. We're finished. The 15 days should have never been extended to 45. That was the basis for Dems grabbing control of everything.
The common cold? When I have a cold, I know it. Now they test people with absolutely no symptoms and tell them, yep, Covid!
Try typing chink on twitter. The knight had a chink in his armor
To answer his question, Trump supporters are not ok with this at all. Biden voters are a mixture of “ok with it” and “doesn’t bother me”.
Pillow attack incoming!
Pretty soon, they'll all just flat out censor the President. These people want a war.
These peopke are already at war. I wonder if our side will decide to fight.
I have seen a lot of sternly worded letters.
That's the plan.
I'm sure the frog put into the cold water on the stove wrote many sternly worded letters about the apparent rise in the water temperature.
I've been thinking about this lately, and while it seems that our side hasn't decided to fight, it's because these people are at a war with their own neighborhoods... Democrats attacking Democrat cities filled with Democrat officials. Should our side really even get involved at this point...? Let them destroy themselves for now, I think.

Remember, we're at war with Eurasia, comrade.
What are you talking about? We've always been at war with Eastasia.
And we always have been.
Possible. The other possibility is that they have succeeded in their takeovers of education and media and this is the outcome of the constant decades of demoralization and what we're seeing is the desired outcome.
Chaos, destruction, revolution, splitting the country in two, and we will see the grand finale this fall when they refuse to accept the election results and declare Trumps government illegitimate and begin to secede from the US.

Uh they already are
They're testing the waters now and itching for a full blown media blackout. No news, no websites, no social media, nothing.
The hard reset so man dumppilled people need. Maybe they would wake up and see the truth for once.
Pretty soon? Did you miss when they flat out started deleting the President’s tweets? Or how they’ve been throttling his traffic for months if not years? They keep pushing and conservatives keep doing nothing about it, which is why they keep pushing.

I'm calling BS.
Yea you're right; although they did use Epik to register the domain name but that doesn't necessarily mean they are using it to host TD. https://www.whois.com/whois/thedonald.win
Sick of Wordpress. Try some of the flat file CMS's out there. No database, no stupid death by 10k queries.
Ditto, static site generators like Hugo, Gatsby, and even Jekyll; then host it on Netlify and cruise control. The CD is easy too, you can get it to automatically deploy anytime you make a change! You can even host static sites on an AWS S3 Bucket for peanuts.
Even Google cloud storage has it too.
They were just saying HQC is SAFE and to talk to your doctor, not advocating everyone must take HQC. Wtf!!!
Unbelievable. Unbelievable. They are censoring them and that tells me they are doing all they can to hide the truth about HCQ.
Cuomo passed an Executive order in NY that prohibits Pharmacists from dispensing HQC. It's SAFER THAN TYLENOL!!!!!

They'll just "un-bank" you so you cannot pay your ISP. Easy.
Good point, censorship proof money is the answer. Bitcoin as of now is the most secure and most censorship resistant currency in existence. Unless you want to pay your bills in gold and silver.
I wonder if a crypto-currency backed by a precious metal is feasible. I guess the physical reserves would be the attack vector for that.
You are correct. Tons of physical gold requires tanks and attack helicopters to protect. Bitcoin is protected my math and computer science.
What if StarLink evolves into a parallel global network for free speech as the ISPs start cutting service to wrong-thinkers, and eventually refuse to route traffic from StarLink's network?
Star Link probably doesn't have the bandwidth to handle current internet traffic. Lets just hope it doesn't come to that or we might all be screwed. I don't want to pin all my hopes on Musk either.
Doesn’t sound like it was their website. Try hosting yourself, then “it’s yours.”

I've built a website that had a slider frame. Those were the days.
I have a crummy WIX site but it's a portfolio/resume type thing, I ain't posting my personal feelings on there, fuck no, the domain name is solid. Private pseudonyms for public base posting.
That's one of the few reasons I can see someone using Wix/Squarespace. You don't need navigation, many graphics, it's not something you need to spend a lot of time developing since it's mostly copying/pasting text, you won't get a lot of traffic and SEO isn't an issue.
When are people going to just build their sites and host them on a linux machine? Stop using big tech...
Then what happens when all the ISP's decide not to connect your box to the internet?
Most people don't even know what Linux is.

There is no negotiating with the left. The right has to begin to consider non-electoral avenues for change in America. We need to be looking at permanent solutions to the problems of the left. We are now battling a political party which is clearly pushing for communism.
memory hole
I want Trump to focus on the censorship of conservatives like he would focus on 10 border walls, 10 trade deals, and 10 pandemics COMBINED. We want to KAG after Trump? Shit will be impossible if we can't add to the marketplace of ideas. Come down on the tech fuckers like Thor's hammer!
MD.win, AmIRite?
Well, shit. Gotta find a new host for my business website!
Make sure you look into your name registrar. They censor like this as well.
Squarespace makes it easy to create your own website using our simple tools. It also makes it easy for them to delete your website for having the wrong opinions.
Remember they withdrew HCQ studies based on a study that was RETRACTED!!!
Every single link that explains why they retracted it goes to a page that links to that same Lancet study. Meanwhile these are the latest treatment results with HCQ.
They are basing their WITHDRAWAL on RETRACTED research that will NEVER see the light of day again whilst IGNORING CURRENT RESEARCH!
I know! It's complete and utter horrorshow!
Do you know who Sapan Desai is?

This is fucking scary
When it happened to Alex Jones, the whole internet should have supported him.
I've been cancelled by Google.
It'll happen to you.
Sqaurespace sponsors a lot of YouTubers. So you most likely watch people that get money from them.
They’d rather “treat” you for a lifetime, than cure you!

What is going to be done about this?
When are we going out in the streets and protesting?
Well, as a freelance designer, I'm going to stop recommending squarespace to clients who choose to build their own websites.
They need some WIN in their lives.
Time to .win!
They need a .WIN
The info wars have truly begun.
www.americasfrontlinedoctors.win ?
Squarespace is absolute garbage but somebody is paying for it... They pay A LOT of YouTubers to make ads for them.
Entities that control the flow of money should not be able to refuse business for any other reason than clear cases of illegal activity. This type of censorship is the most agregeous, far more than social media or regular media. Banks, Visa, PayPal, Squarespace should be legally bound to serve customers so long as those customers are not breaking the law. If people want to give $100K to shit head TDS sufferers on GoFundMe, that is those people’s right. Take your percentage of the cut and keep your mouth shut.
Controlling people’s right to prosperity is no ones power.
I mean, the only thing really of worth on that site was the Hydro research PDFs. Anyone got those?
Fauci lied people Died
so are we all still talking about sitting back and just continuing to let them do whatever the fuck they want? wake me up when we stand up and start firing guns at these people.
Someone get them in contact with the admins here, they can host the site here.
Are there safe hosts? Who hosts the WIN community? I'm on WIX for their ease of building but if they have problems I can move.
One of the Squarespace board members is also CFO at Wayfair according to their corporate profile.
This censorship in America is unacceptable. We're no better than CCP.
