In 2016 Independent Conservative Publishers Pushed Trump Over Finish Line – So Democrats and Tech Giants Deleted Them and GOP Did Nothing

24

The banning of my work, my website and articles has been since 2016 when we first filed our lawsuit against the DoJ challenging Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) under the First Amendment. Section 230 provides immunity from lawsuits to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, thereby permitting these social media giants to engage in government-sanctioned censorship and discriminatory business practices free from legal challenge.

Regrettably, nothing was done. Did anyone believe it would end there? Leftwing corporate managers have been systematically silencing the right. We have reached a tipping point.

“In 2016 Independent Conservative Publishers Pushed Trump Over Finish Line – So Democrats and Tech Giants Deleted Them and GOP Did Nothing,” by Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit, March 17, 2019:

In 2016 Donald Trump stunned the organized left by defeating Hillary Clinton with ease in a stunning upset.

The organized left of mainstream media, the Democrat Party, corrupted Deep State governmental agencies and the far left tech giants were left in tears in defeat.

This wasn’t supposed to happen.
Hillary was supposed to win. They fought for it. It was her turn.

Following the election a Harvard study and a similar study at Columbia Journalism Review discovered and listed the top media influencers during the 2016 election.

The studies recorded similar results.

The 2016 election was the first national election where conservatives on a grand scale rejected mainstream media and went elsewhere for their news and content.
Conservatives went to Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, FOX News, and independent conservative publishers for content.

And so the organized left vowed to destroy these content providers.

This influence map below by Columbia Journalism Review shows the top influencers during the 2016 election.

Breitbart, Western Journal, Gateway Pundit, Conservative Review, Young Cons, Right Wing News, Zerohedge, Infowars, etc. were top conservative influencers in 2016.

And here, after two years of purposeful targeting, is that same map showing the conservative publishers who have been targeted and censored by Facebook since 2017.

Facebook has been shutting down traffic to conservative websites since the 2016 election.

Conservatives dominated social media in 2016 where they were able to get the truth uncensored.  Facebook ended that in 2017 and 2018.

Last year the Gateway Pundit spoke with two of the top conservative publishers in America.Floyd Brown is a conservative author, speaker and media commentator. In 2008 Floyd launched Western Journal which quickly became one of the top conservative websites in America. By 2016 Floyd’s organization of Western Journal and other conservative websites under his umbrella had more than a billion page views. Since 2016 Floyd’s organization lost 75% of its Facebook traffic.

Likewise, we spoke with Jared Vallorani from Klicked Media. Jared traveled to Washington DC with The Gateway Pundit and website owners at 100%FedUp in June to discuss Facebook targeting against conservative publishers with Republican lawmakers. Jared told The Gateway Pundit his organization Klicked Media, which hosts over 60 conservative websites, lost 400 million page views from Facebook in the last six months if you compare the traffic to a year ago.  Jared said, “We lost 70% to 80% of our traffic if you compare January to May 2017 vs Jan to May 2018.”

If you combine the total number of page-views lost by just these two conservative online publishers you are looking at a loss of over 1.5 billion page-views from Facebook in one year.

These are numbers from just two of the top conservative publishers in America on Facebook.  This does not include the thousands of other conservative publishers across the country who lost all of their traffic coming from Facebook. 

Here at The Gateway Pundit our Facebook traffic has been effectively eliminated after we were ranked as the 4th most influential conservative publisher in the 2016 election.  We continue to flourish because we have such a vast organic traffic base.  Several other top conservative publishers were not so lucky and shut down operations since 2016.

This is a bloodbath.  Facebook  wiped out conservative content to American subscribers.  Google, Twitter and Instagram also target, censor and delete conservative publishers….

Obama called for a news “curator” meaning he wanted Conservative news sources censored. And, his cult following obliged. Hillary has stated that she wished she was the CEO of Facebook so that she could control what news people are allowed to see.

90% of all news & entertainment media are Democrats.
90% of all stories about Trump/Republicans are negative.

It’s almost impossible for the average person to ever know the truth when all they ever hear is Democrat party propaganda. What’s worse is that they never know any different. The final result is the Democrat party keeps people ignorant while maintaining the people’s belief that they’re staying well informed.

So, how does that get changed? Democrats are calling for Socialism and changing the U.S. Constitution to cement their control over the country. If they manage to get back in the Whitehouse then that’s exactly what will happen. They’ll finish what Obama started and complete the fundamental transformation of America.

Social media is their weapon to keep people ignorant and brain washed.
Since when does “community standards” supersede freedom of speech?
Social media not a private company. They are openly traded. The GOP should have stepped up
long ago to this censorship but they didn’t because they want TRUMP OUT.

And I think I remember from around the time he called for some kind of news curation that he also mentioned something along the lines of an apparatus of consensus (not sure if I’m remembering the wording right). But what else could that be a euphemism for but a process, or machine, so to speak, that manufactures “agreement” regarding the veracity of media circulated information by filtering out and suppressing certain dissenting viewpoints? I don’t remember at the time if it was supposed to be a Ministry of Truth type govenrnmentally inspired endeavor, or a “community guidelines” type of private sector one, but clearly big tech is doing its best to function as that kind of apparatus.

GOP establishment wanted Trump to lose, no surprise. Someone needs to bring an antitrust case for conspiracy in restraint of trade, fraud, wire fraud, Securities fraud, and defamation…there may be payola involved as well, would need investigation…someone with deep pockets needs to bankroll this like Adelson or Theil.

Maybe now that Trump has an AG, Barr, that could happen but Barr is an old establishment guy so I am not optimistic. These swamp people care more about image and keeping THEIR agenda in place, Who would believe that the latest AG,Barr is not going to go after Hillary?

I dunno…I’d like him to do it, but he’d get an awful lot of flak and who knows what else? He would have to be very, very brave and not care about what anyone else thought.

The one problem I have with ‘william barr’ is that he ran interference for the “color of law” shooters who MURDERED the man and his wife while she held the baby in her arms at Ruby Ridge.

He’s already said he won’t. There really is no reason why we even need government at this point! Our military should be guarding our southern border – and shoot to kill anyone forcing their way across, but instead, they’re given 3 hots and a cot inside our country! WTH! Civilians could do a better job than ALL of government at this point!

Barr has nothing to do with what Clinton did selling uranium in to the Russians. Barr worked with Reagan before he worked with Bus1 he did not work with Bush 2. He will get to the bottom of this. The media is going Bananas because Trump won. The media is owned by democrats so are some conservative media FOX teamed up with CNN. they are horrible. One American News is the best.

Sheldon Adelson Is Being Treated for Cancer.
Peter Theil? born in Germany

………………….

15 richly funded RINO’s crashed and burned in 2016 at Trump’s feet.

More RINO’s will try in 2020 because open border, anti-American worker globalists and greedy billionaires will demand it. They have no chance to win. but once again, they will be funded very well.

American voters that DID NOT elect Ross Perot, gave us Clinton, Bush, Obama, NAFTA, The Patriot Act, Fast And Furious, illegal alien invasion, muslim refugees, ANTIFA and never ending wars.

Question?…Should patriotic, sane, fiscally responsible persons regardless of their political party run for high political office?

Impossible! They are too dangerous.

They are excluded from the selection process by both parties.

The RNC and DNC only fronts and supports candidates that prostitute themselves to the Uni-Party Globalist Fascist agenda or they get no money.

The RNC and DNC fight to purposely exclude 3rd and 4th party candidates from national debates with arcane rules.

THE MSM is owned by the very same globalist fascist elites enforcing the blacklist treatment for 3rd and 4th party candidates and biased censorship of their views and those of their supporters.

The SCOTUS ruled that corporations and unions are “citizens” and can spend unlimited amounts of money as protected “Free Speech”, thus perverting the election process.

American voters are left to to choose between pre-selected shades of fascist gray.

It should worry all Americans that ONLY rare rich patriots like Ross Perot and Donald Trump every 25 years or so can circumvent the Uni-Party Globalist Fascist strangle hold on the process and run for high political office.

Something troubling is happening at Breitbart as well. Similar banning of conservative commentary underway.

“The Truth Must be Told” is a very good slogan that Pam and her team
chose. The truth will eventually emerge and prevail. They prove that
they believe in it every day with their serious freedom of expression.

Gateway Punydit and InfoWart banned me for calling their dear Negroes Negroes. But the lieberal ethnic slur of “bl*ck is fine with them.

Go figure….. Don’t trust news site that call Negroes “bl*ck” but won’t let you call them correctly as “Negroes”. Negroes is a race. Bl*ck is a SLUR and NOT a race. So why??

Nope, don’t trust their phony agendas. A true Conservative site would NEVER ban you for this.

The Republican congressmen, as soon as they hit Washington, pretty much join hands with the Democrats to keep anyone else out. That means they use Facebook and the tech giants just like the Democrats to keep anyone else (especially populists), from sharing. The idea once in congress, get re-elected, that’s it, nothing there at all about representing electorate.

There will be just as much opposition from Republicans as Democrats to any kind of reform.

It works for them, just like it does for the Democrats.

Both parties are going to fight this as hard as they can since a news media they don’t control is absolutely threatening too them.

Would the “RICO” status work against these “controllers” of ideas. These PUBLIC ARENAS have become PUBLISHERS and not SOCIAL OUTLETS OF SPEECH. Since they CONTROL what is PUBLISHED, they should be able to be SUED for CENSORSHIP of conversations.
