[ April 28, 2024 ]
Having been one of the early targets of social media censorship on Facebook, YouTube et al, I have for quite some time advocated for anti-trust action against these bullying behemoths. The email below once again shows why this is so urgently needed.
Read my article about this at The American Thinker. We are seeing an unprecedented erosion in our First Amendment rights, increasingly prohibiting the flow of ideas and free expression in the public square (social media). Run by left-wing self-possessed snowflakes, social media giants are indulging their worst autocratic impulses. And because they can, it is getting worse. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
I received this email from Geller Report reader Lindsay Lowery about the latest evil from Facebook:
Story continues below advertisement
Hi Pamela!
I’ve been a huge fan of yours for a long time and I’m hoping that maybe you can help me get my story out. I am a military veteran and conservative journalist and up until January of this year, I was in the conservative news business. Due to continued threats on my life by terrorists, Muslims, and liberals (which you can relate to), I finally decided I could not put the lives of my little girls at risk any longer (aged 4 and 6), and decided to pursue growing my health and wellness company, while using Facebook to help promote my supplements. Facebook was also the primary means I used to communicate with my employees..up until today..when Mark Zuckerberg decided to rip it all away.
After 5 years as a conservative journalist, I amassed quite a large following. I had 300K fans following my Prissy Holly facebook page and close to 30K following my personal profile. I haven’t posted anything political since January of this year, except for a meme here and there. My fans (most of them red-blooded American veterans) were very sympathetic to the reasons why I left the news business, and they’ve been helping support me in recent months financially, by becoming customers of my health and wellness business.
Today I was one of the 800 accounts Mark Zuckerberg and his army of vile freedom-hating admins decided to target. With a click of a button, my work profiles, personal profiles, and public facebook pages are WERE ALL REMOVED, with no way to appeal the decision. I was simply given the notification that my accounts had been disabled, with zero reason as to why.
I did not violate any terms and conditions. I was not a “domestic actor using clickbait headlines” nor was I “violating facebook’s spam policies,” as the Washington Post claimed in their article, as to the reason these 800 accounts were removed.
All because Mark Zuckerberg and his band of liberals do not like that I’m a conservative, they’ve taken everything from me and overnight, and destroyed my primary source of income with absolutely no explanation.
Not only has this callous move destroyed me financially, but my personal accounts along with years of precious memories have been ripped away from me as well. Like most moms, I use Facebook to post pictures of my little girls…their lives that I documented daily…from the time I brought them home from the hospital swaddled in little pink blankets..to my 6-year-old mastering the balance beam at gymnastics….ALL DESTROYED. And why? All because Mark Zuckerberg hates me because I’m a conservative and wants people like me silenced before the mid-term elections.
If there’s any way you could help me get my story out, I would be eternally grateful. I’m just seeking a way to recoup some of my fans and followers that I worked and toiled for 5 long years to get.
I’m not the only innocent person being affected by this callous and fascist-like decision.
Around a dozen of my friends involved in conservative media have also been silenced today. Within a 1-hour span, our accounts began disappearing, with no way to appeal Mark Zuckerberg’s decision. Everything has just been completely disabled and all our pages completely erased.
Thank you for listening to me vent! I love and support you!

Moral of the story – Don’t solely build your business around facebook , fkerburg and his gang will fk you. And they did.
Build website and have email list. Nobody can screw you up.
After facebook, twitter , even Google, youtube joins lslamofascist gang to support illegals and jihadis
suppress conservative free speech http://tinyurl.com/lgp28rs

And, supposedly, Gulag+ is shutting down in 10 months. It appears as if most folks are moving to MeWe. Note the timing of this announcement, just before the midterms, and the effective date, about 1 year before the 2020 election. But, maybe I’m just paranoid.

What about suing Facebook or a government action based on implied contract, that is, by allowing conservatives to waste years on their service, building up their following etc., there was an implied service contract that it would not be yanked out from under them at any random time. Whenever you do business with anyone, there is the implied contract that you can do what you are holding yourself out to do.

My advice is for every conservative page to obtain a mailing email via a sign up on their page.
Their most interested followers will do so and it will allow for an alternate means of contact later and they
can drive people to their own pages with ads that benefit their bottom line before FB’s and maybe eventually
allow them to join other pages in a new creation that combines these pages as a kind of republic.

This is just rotten of FB. But…..does FB owe any of it’s subscribers the ability to freely express as they wish, since it is a private company. I’m no fan of Zuck, or of FB, or of their bullying tactics but, is it illegal for them to wipe out accounts like they have been. Since there is no money charged for membership, does that make it legal for FB to do whatever they want with their accounts….

Good point. And why Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer are strongly
calling for Congressional Anti-Trust Action against these internationally
wealthy and powerful social media monopolies – with their Globalist
agenda – for a borderless, one-world global community overseen by
unelected elites.

It is easy to ascend in the free market when backed by powerful Globalist money. They have now monopolized the social media internet where
the little guy forming an alternative doesn’t stand much of a chance.
Let Congress address this imbalance in the free market through
Anti-Trust review and legislation.

Twice, FB disabled my account with it. I believe FB did so because I speak in strong, critical terms about the violent way of Muslims under the teachings of Islam. FB may’ve been prompted to disable my account by another, such as CAIR, complaining because my comments appear insulting to Islam and its followers, Muslims.
In my comments, I include a hyperlink to a Web-site that depicts the teachings of Islam as calling for death to infidels (non-Muslims) among other violence: https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx
History tells us that Muslims spread the religion of Islam by the sword. Muslim terrorists continue this violence in our day via jihad and without apology for it.
In short, I call matters in relation to Islam and Muslims as I see them. I incorporate controlling facts and information in my thought process. This empirical approach paints an objective, robust view of Islam and Muslims.
In my studies, I have found that the teachings of Islam permit a Muslim to lie to another if doing so promotes the interests of Islam. This fact means we cannot trust the word of a Muslim because he may lie for his belief system, Islam. The West institutes truth-telling as fundamental to its civilization. So here we have two undying values putting the West and Islam at odds with each other.
I take from this line of thinking that the West and Islam cannot coexist on the same territory. Extending this finding to its end means ejecting all Muslims from the nations of the West.
This end arises from another perspective as well. Islam as a theocracy (rule by priests or by religion) and democracy (rule by the people) present two incompatible social organizations, potentially forever in conflict.

Alex Jones warned everyone that he was the test case and now, after so many were silent, conservatives, not even disruptors, are suffering the results of the globalist tyrants. We ALL should be shouting from the skyscrapers but it could be too late! This is what happens when liberty is taken for granted and we hand over our lives to governments. EVERYONE needs to get out of their bubbles.

The writer is spot on. These online enterprises have assumed the role of editors of content. They obviously have engaged in coordinated censoring of conservative leaning sites and should be broken up (like the phone company).

That’s not what I saw. If you publish information that is not completely truthful, but bill it as factual hard news as opposed to opinion pieces, you’re engaging in deceit. That said, the articles have to be shown and proof must be demonstrated.

I just deactivated my Facebook account. I’ve just had it. Don’t like Facebook that much anyway and it’s so called “benefits” are not worth my support of an anti-American company. If you all are true conservative patriots as you say, you will consider doing the same. I’m looking forward to spending more time in more productive pursuits and using regular e-mail the way we used to, to keep up with “friends.”

Tip for Facebookers: To stay out of FB jail, avoid using the word “Muslim(s)” in words or memes, but you can say “white people need to be genocided”, “Hindus are lazy,” “Jews are crooks”. You are only racist when you use “Muslim(s)”.

Why do you hate Trump so much? He gave blacks more jobs than any other POTUS in history. What did your Muslim boy Obama do for blacks, nothing! Obama had Eric Holder to antagonize the Brothers to riot and kill white cops, so don’t give me your bullshit! If you don’t like my country and think we are racist, than move to your homeland, because this is not your country.

What jobs? I challenge an industry organization to corroborate those claims. I suspect that Trump shifted more blacks to not seeking work to say less are unemployed.
The claim that Obama and Holder antagonized and encouraged killing cops is absolutely false for want of incitement. It’s a common Republican talking point though!

Five Dallas police officers were killed and seven wounded by a sniper who “wanted to kill white people” during an anti-police brutality protest … prompted by police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. … speech in which he cited two racially charged police shootings earlier in the week and … Remember your ex Muslim titular POTUS spent 3/4 of a trillion dollars for the Stimulus program and he said no whites apply for any programs. Do you know what the program really was, a welfare program for blacks. Holder never killed anyone directly nor did Hitler, but he killed ICE agents with Fast and Furious. Eric Holder To Democrats: ‘When They Go Low, We Kick Them’, and don’t be naive just because your black Farrakhan to his followers. Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, told his followers in a … reports that he had called for 10,000 volunteers to “kill white people.” Sharpton is responsible for the Killings at Freddy’s Fashion Mart, saying Jews are “Interloper.” The truth hurts, but blacks are more racist than whites and I approve of what I said because it’s the truth that you wont accept!

You either make light of what black radicals do against whites and to their own in Chicago. I say white and you say black, no pun intended. Regardless of evidence and facts you will still have that anti white mentality and vote Demo(rat) and that’s your privilege. Why do you go on Pamela Geller’s site, because I wouldn’t go on Farrakhan or the other hateful sites. Just to stray off the subject matter, imagine if whites in the U.S. took away black land and kill blacks in America like they are doing to the white farmers in S.Africa. What would you say?

This is a warning to all who use Facebook for communications. Save the important stuff like photographs of your children, correspondence, personal accounts, anything that you might want to reference later in PC files which are backed up on a regular daily basis. The pictures of the children are a tragic loss which can never be replaced – the prints and negatives might as well have been destroyed by a fire. As for the accounts and correspondence, sometimes items like that can be resurrected, at least in part. I use Facebook for communications, but I also save important pictures in a separate file on my PC which is backed up daily by an off-site facility.

Folks, Although FB is a private business, it IS NOT a law unto itself able to do as it pleases. Discrimination is against the law, as it purports to be “open to the public.” I do not support the right of any business to arbitrarily pick and choose customers. This will not work, it will lead to disruption, division and disorder. There are limits to everything, including the rights of business to interfere with citizens exercising their free rights. It is unfortunate that the Republican Congress has not reinforced this, and that many, many conservatives foolishly defend bakeries discriminating against homosexuals. They have no right to reject their business, but they have every right to their own beliefs on the subject.

A baker should be able to choose who he bakes for. If he feels baking cakes is providing a service to the Devil’s spawn then he should be entitles to refuse. There are plenty of other bakers to choose from.
Face Book is different. It may be a private company but it holds a monopoly on the expression of ideas. There is no viable alternative, and the Sherman Antitrust Act should apply.

Speaking as a NY Jew myself, a lifelong conservative AND a military veteran, Prissy Holly is full of crap. She’s got NO ONE to blame but herself. She and her supposed sister posted BULLSHIT stories with outlandish headlines ALL THE TIME, and then they blocked conservatives who called them out on it. She’s probably one of the reasons the blocking of conservatives started in the first place. Don’t buy into her whining. She has ZERO credibility.
