Today’s blacklisted American: 65,000 Americans censored by social media
The Bill of Rights cancelled by
Google, Facebook, and Twitter.
The new dark age of silencing According to the legal team for former president Donald Trump, almost 65,000 people have submitted examples of censorship by the social media companies Google, Facebook, and Twitter, and the lawyers have amended Trump’s the lawsuit to add those individuals to it.
According to the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), Trump’s July 7 lawsuit against Facebook, Twitter, and Google is adding ”additional censorship experiences” from some of the nearly 65,000 people who submitted them to the institute. ”Late last night, Amended Complaints were filed in the Big Tech lawsuits against Facebook, Inc., Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter, Inc., Jack Dorsey, Google LLC, and Sundar Pichai,” AFPI said in a July 28 statement.
“Since the initial filing on July 7, 2021, nearly 65,000 American people have submitted their stories of censorship through America First Policy Institute’s (AFPI) Constitutional Litigation Partnership (CLP) at TakeOnBigTech.com,” AFPI added.
This story gives us a feel for the widespread nature of the blacklisting culture at these big tech companies. The effort to silence dissent covers a wide net, and appears aimed consistently at censoring opinions or the reporting of facts that throw doubt on the policies of the presently installed Democratic Party government.
The announcement by Trump’s lawyers makes a point of noting that this net includes both conservatives and leftists, the latter represented by leftwing feminist Naomi Wolf. Long a darling of the radical left, Wolf was banned permanently by Twitter because she had the nerve to write about how the power-hungry have been using the Wuhan panic to gain power and nullify the Bill of Rights.
I personally am not hopeful this lawsuit will change much, even if Trump wins. The numbers suggest that the blacklisting and censorship is widespread and carries the support of large numbers of people at these companies. In order to have any impact the damages have to be heavy, so much so that they threaten the very businesses of these tech giants. Only then will their managements make it clear to all the employees that it is impermissible to blackball commentary, of any sort.
Barring that, I fully expect these brownshirts to shrug off any court defeat and continue their policy of censorship and the silencing of debate. If anything, I fully expect them to accelerate their effort, teaming up with the Democrats in both Congress and the White House to use all the tools available to them to prevent the public from reading any stories critical of those Democrats.
The sooner alternative social media news outlets become available, the better. In fact, the only way to truly defeat these storm troopers is for all the decent people in America, who are many and certainly form a majority, even now, to stop cowering in fear but to stand up in defiance. A very loud rejection of this blacklisting culture — to its face — is needed, especially because of it size and scope. Standing by and saying, “Well, they aren’t targeting me, so why should I care?” is only going to guarantee that they will soon target you as well.
Finally, news reporting in general would benefit by a decision by all to stop depending on Twitter for so many news stories. Most of what passes for news today is trivial emotional trash pushed forth on Twitter by shallow people who really have little contact with reality. They live their lives in that cesspool, and really do not report any real news at all.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

I think you insult cesspools, which contain useful raw materials.
Well I guess I should file my instance.
I was sanction for calling my Virginian Governor : Big Chief Blackface:: by Next Door
Not long after I closed Facebook, Twitter and all other accounts except for U- Tub.
About a month later they sent me another email asking for Me to come back, seems that i was one of their major local contributors in my location.
I said I could spend time better elsewhere rather than increase their add views.
