It should come as no surprise the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (CoC) would join hands with leftist democrats & begin withholding financial support for congressional representatives who supported President Trump.   You might remember in August of 2020 when the CoC admitted to supporting far-left democrats in the 2020 election cycle.

WASHINGTON DC – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the powerful pro-business [multinational] lobbying group, said Tuesday it will halt political contributions to certain lawmakers following the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol last week.

“There are some members that by their actions will have forfeited the support of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Period, full stop,” Neil Bradley, chief policy officer at the Chamber, said in a press conference.

[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: So, we’re going to Texas. We’re going to the southern border. As you know, we’ve completed the wall. They may want to expand it. We have the expansion underway. It’s been tremendously successful, far beyond what anyone thought. We’re stopping, in large numbers, the drugs coming into the country for many, many years and decades. We’re stopping a lot of illegal immigration. Our numbers have been very good.

Hundreds of people have asked for a new email notification system that will alert people to new content posted on CTH 2.0. It has been a lengthy process of research and deliberation & we have selected a third-party vendor to deliver the requested email notification service.

We have purchased Feedblitz as the provider to send email notifications. You can sign up by clicking the “sign up for email delivery” link in the right margin just under the search box. When you click the link you get this registration box:

CTH looked at several options over the past six weeks.  Feedblitz seems to be the best, scalable option for this service.  However, a note of caution…

Whenever you subscribe to a notification system you are “opting-in” to a system that needs to track your identity (email address) in order to facilitate the request.  The notification system, based on the entire function of the process, is inherently gathering data and assembling a list of subscribers.  [Read Privacy Policy Here]

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

The CEO of Parler, John Matze, appears on Fox News to discuss the targeting of the social media platform and the removal of their website from Amazon servers.

Obviously the issue of targeted deplatforming is one close to the current community of CTH 2.0 users and administrators after we suffered a similar targeting from WordPress/Automattic.  However, there is something about the Parler construct that is puzzling.  WATCH:

Outwardly, Parler launched as an alternative to Twitter for conservative and liberty-minded voices concerned about having a space for free speech.  With that in mind why would Parler start by using Amazon host services for their platform?

While it is not OK for Parler to be removed under any circumstances, John Matze primary responsibility was stewardship toward the Parler user community.  Responsible stewardship would not include going to the ideological Big Tech enemy, Amazon, for the primary provider tools for the platform.

“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words” … “The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect.”

― George Orwell

In the latest effort to ensure the totalitarian interests of the authoritarian state are never questioned, Facebook has announced no phrases will be allowed that call into question the legitimacy of the installed JoeBama leadership.  This is absolutely Orwellian:

(Reuters) – Facebook Inc said on Monday it was treating the next two weeks as a “major civic event” and would remove certain content containing the phrase “stop the steal” from its social media platforms.

“With continued attempts to organize events against the outcome of the US presidential election that can lead to violence, and use of the term by those involved in Wednesday’s violence in DC, we’re taking this additional step in the lead up to the inauguration”, the company said in a blog post.  (read more)
