Commentator Mark Dice has a question. It may be the last one we need to ask in the Jussie Smollett saga. Now that the race-baiting hoaxer has been officially exposed and convicted by a jury of his peers, how should Big Tech react?
Why hasn’t Jussie Smollett been banned from social media for spreading disinformation that undermines our Democracy?
I’m sure he’ll be on Dancing with the Stars next season. The Liberal Media Industrial Complex always helps their own in any way possible.
The harm that Jussie Smollett did to this nation by promoting a false story about racism that reinforced other false notions by radical leftists is undeniable. His continued social media presence is an insult to the many conservatives who have been suppressed, censored, and banned for FAR LESS EGREGIOUS offenses than Smollett.
By no means am I suggesting he should be banned. But if Twitter, Facebook, and others are going to not ban him, they shouldn’t be banning anyone who didn’t break the law with their posts. They should also reinstate everyone who they’ve banned for reasons that were not unlawful.
It may be a moot point. As many patriots move to Gab, Gettr, Parler, and other freer speech sites, Twitter’s days may be limited. Then, there’s President Trump’s upcoming TruthSocial. Twitter and other Big Tech companies don’t want us. The feeling is mutual. They can keep Jussie Smollett’s account up for as long as they want.
One Sick Day Proves We Need More Voices in Truthful Media
On October 19, I was sick. It crossed my mind that I had finally gotten the ‘rona, but my wife’s cream of chicken soup and a few extra hours of sleep into mid-afternoon had be back up and running after a sleepless night before.
When I finally stumbled over to my computer in the evening, I was met with a deluge of concern from readers. They asked what had happened as only one article had been posted that day. Generally, we post between 10-20 daily between all of the sites, not included curated and aggregated content. Seeing that we’d only posted my super-early morning article before taking the rest of the day off had readers assuming the worst.
We have a wonderful and talented group of writers who volunteer their time for the sites and their readers. Sharing their amazing perspectives has always been a blessing to us because we cannot afford to hire anyone at this time. But having great writers is meaningless if we don’t have great editors, or at least one additional. My wife helps me read and edit stories from time to time, but I’m a one-man show when it comes to getting the stories posted.
Whenever I highlight our desperate need for donations, I note that we do not receive money from Google ads even though most in conservative media are beholden. I often ambiguously note that the money donated will help us grow. Today, I’m highlighting a specific need. We must get an editor to help take some of the load and to expand on our mission of spreading the truth to the world. One sick day proved that.
The great news is that there is no shortage of people who CAN help. I am emailed variations of resumes every week by people who are much smarter than I am. As much as I’d love to hire some of them, we simply cannot. That takes money and as blessed as we’ve been to receive donations and collect ad money (though not from Google or Facebook), we have still fallen short.
Those who have the means, PLEASE consider donating. We have the standard Giving Fuel option and people can donate through PayPal. We are also diving into what we believe is extremely disruptive technology at LetsGo.finance, the world’s first major donation portal for crypto. I’ll be talking a lot more about them in the near future. Those who prefer Bitcoin can send to my address here: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
We can get the voices out there and we’re willing to shine a spotlight on new talent. We just need the resources to make it happen. If you can help, we would be extremely grateful.
Thank you and God bless!
