I Don’t Like England Anymore: Compliant people are dangerous to thoughtful innovation

I’ve decided that I don’t like England anymore. I did like England when Brexit was the rallying cry—a nation reclaiming sovereignty, shaking off the European Union’s bureaucratic grip. Nigel Farage embodied that spirit of independence, and I could respect that. But who they are now, or have really, always been? That’s a different story. Since COVID, my view has shifted dramatically, and not without reason.

The pandemic exposed something deep in the English psyche: a cultural obsession with compliance. During lockdown, police in England enforced rules with a zeal that bordered on authoritarian. They issued over 120,000 Fixed Penalty Notices for breaches of COVID regulations, ranging from meeting a friend outdoors to traveling without a “reasonable excuse.” Officers even had the authority to enter homes and forcibly return individuals to their residences if they were found outside without justification.¹ This wasn’t just about health—it was about control. It revealed a society that values safety over liberty, process over spontaneity, and certainty over courage.

And then came the social media policing. In England today, posting the wrong thing online can land you in handcuffs. Under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and the Malicious Communications Act 1988, police made 12,183 arrests in 2023 alone for “offensive” or “grossly offensive” posts—a staggering 58% increase since 2019.² That’s about 30 arrests every single day for speech crimes. Think about that. In a country that once gave the world John Locke and the principles of liberty, people are now being dragged from their homes for tweets.

Consider the case of Graham Linehan, co-creator of Father Ted. He was arrested at Heathrow Airport after returning from the U.S., his crime being posts critical of transgender ideology.³ Or the IT consultant who posted a photo with a shotgun during a Florida trip—police raided his home, seized his devices, and subjected him to 13 weeks of investigation.⁴ Then there’s Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine, who faced a six-officer raid over a sarcastic WhatsApp message criticizing a school official.⁵ These aren’t isolated incidents—they’re part of a pattern. The UK now has elite police units dedicated to monitoring online speech for “hate” or “extremism,” often targeting those with anti-migrant views.⁶

This is not freedom. It’s thought control. And the cultural soil that allows this to grow is England’s love of process—its obsession with rules, procedures, and certainty. They plan everything: the route to the gas station, the tea ritual, the itinerary for a simple drive. It’s a society that trades spontaneity for safety, adventure for predictability. That might sound quaint until you realize what it means in practice: a population conditioned to obey.

Even their illusion of free speech is telling. London’s Speaker’s Corner is often romanticized as a bastion of open dialogue, but in reality, it’s a monitored zone—a symbolic gesture that says, “You can speak here, under our watch.” Outside that corner, the state’s grip tightens. Arrests for silent prayer near abortion clinics, for tweets deemed “offensive,” for Facebook posts criticizing politicians—these are not anomalies; they are the norm.⁷ The U.S. State Department has even flagged the UK for “serious restrictions on freedom of expression.”⁸ That should alarm anyone who values liberty.

And while the state clamps down on speech, another force reshapes the cultural landscape: demographic change. The Muslim population in England has grown from 4.9% in 2011 to about 6.5% in 2021—roughly 4 million people—and is projected to reach 13 million by 2050.⁹ This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a transformation. In urban centers, Islamic fundamentalism finds fertile ground in a society already conditioned to compliance. When a culture is beaten into submission by its own government, it becomes vulnerable to ideologies that demand even stricter obedience. That’s not diversity—that’s a recipe for cultural collapse.

Contrast this with America’s founding spirit. The United States exists because people rejected monarchy, hierarchy, and the suffocating weight of tradition. They fled Europe’s kingdoms for the unknown, embracing risk and adventure. That courage—the willingness to live without guarantees—is what built America. England, by contrast, never shed its psychological chains. Even now, with a “token” King Charles, the monarchy persists as a cultural anchor, a reminder that the people are subjects, not sovereigns. That mindset matters. A society that wants to be ruled already has something broken in its DNA.

Brexit was a flicker of rebellion, a moment when England seemed ready to reclaim its independence. Nigel Farage gave voice to that impulse, railing against the EU’s bureaucratic overreach. But where is that spirit now? Drowned in lockdown mandates, speech policing, and a nanny-state mentality that arrests citizens for jokes. Farage’s Reform UK party still fights, but it’s swimming against a cultural tide that prefers process to freedom.¹⁰

I’ve tried to rationalize some affection for England over the years. I admired their bookstores, their literary tradition, and their politeness. My own family ties made it tempting to look the other way. But honesty demands clarity: England today is not a beacon of liberty. It is a cautionary tale—a society that traded freedom for safety, individuality for compliance, and courage for comfort. And the world is watching. When London becomes the attack vector for global liberalism, when its cultural weakness enables ideological invasions, when its police knock on doors for tweets, we should ask: Is this the future we want?

America must never follow that path. Our strength lies in the unknown, in the willingness to risk, in the refusal to bow. England chose differently. And for that reason, I can no longer admire what it has become.  I would say that England has always been this way, and it has only excelled as a culture when it has endeavored to be more like America, as it did with Brexit.  But remember, this is the same culture that literally tortured and killed William Wallace, the Scottish rebel shown so well in the movie Braveheart.  When they killed him, to quell any future rebellions, they gutted him in front of the crowd and burned his intestines while he was still alive.  After they cut off his head after a very torturous death, they cut up his body and sent his arms and legs to the far reaches of the kingdom.  And they put his head on a pike on London Bridge and kept it there for a long time.  To remind people of what would happen to other rebels should they think to take the same path.  And that same behavior is present in their policing of social media posts.  Any culture that is willing to put up with that kind of oppression is not a good culture for the world.  And that is the value system they seem to support most: compliance with authority over freedom of thought.  English culture is built on compliance, and history shows us over an extended period what a disaster that is.  Which is why I no longer like or respect England and its role in the world.

Elon Musk’s Highly “Unscientific Poll”: Deregulating the world under a new Trump administration

Let’s talk about Elon Musk’s highly unscientific poll on his “X” platform, which had nearly 6 million real people voting for President Trump or Kamala Harris.  This is why the Democrats at their convention are obsessed with beating President Trump because the internals, the cross tabs of all the national polling are pointing in the same direction.  However, this is the power of Elon Musk’s endorsement and his support of Trump on “X,” formally known as Twitter.  The poll showed that 73% of “X” users wanted Trump as President instead of Kamala Harris.  Now, I would not call “X” a right-wing platform.   And I would not call Elon Musk a right-wing guy.  Only a few years ago, he was the face of the World Economic Forum and a spokesman for globalism and climate science concerns.  Heck, his main revenue stream is in making electric cars.  He wants to power the earth with solar panels.  Well, something incredible is happening that is worth taking note of.  And it all started with that assassination attempt on Trump.  Elon Musk has been leaning toward Trump, especially after all his experiences with the Biden administration’s regulatory burdens.  Even a few months ago, when I was reviewing Elon Musk’s most recent book, it seemed unfathomable that Musk would endorse Trump for president.  Musk was a DeSantis guy, a recent development for one of the wealthiest people on earth.  So for Musk to buy Twitter and turn it into an actual free speech machine, essentially destroying the long-held gains of media control by a centralized government, a lot more than just a political stunt happened, and it came unleashed during a “Spaces” interview that Musk did with Trump that was spectacular.  When the smoke clears from this 2024 election, it will be “X” as a platform that shows the natural way of the world with true consumer sentiment.  The government propaganda that is the push behind Kamala Harris never had a chance. 

I thought the “Spaces” interview that Elon Musk had with Trump was one of the most important things to happen in the world at any point in history.  If you’ve ever been to Hyde Park in London, England, there is a tiny part of the park called Speaker’s Corner, where open debate and free speech are somewhat encouraged to take the edge off protestors and social discontent.  But most of the world is under the thumb of some bully administration of government that suppresses the expression of free ideas.  Not so suddenly, Musk bought Twitter and turned it into “X” to solve many of the problems of tyranny in the world.  Twitter was an asset to the various intelligence agencies seeking to control free speech and gather information on people who might cause them trouble.  I am still heavily shadow-banned on the “X” platform, even with Elon Musk owning it.  But listening to that 2-hour interview with Musk and Trump just talking to each other was remarkable, and it was shattering many thousands of years of oppressive government regulation in multiple cultures.  And the beauty of the American Constitution played out in how it was designed.  Having that conversation, unregulated and free of burden, was remarkable.  And it was the game-changer in this election.  Yes, it started with Truth Social.  If Trump hadn’t built that social media platform from the ground up, it’s highly likely that Elon Musk never would have bought Twitter and turned it into “X.”  But now that he has, the world’s governments have lost control of their gains by controlling free speech in a way that the world has never seen.  And those polling results are precisely what terrifies them and have Democrats horrified of President Trump, which, after all they have done, they should be. 

There is no more powerful news media company now than Elon Musk, who controls the “X” social media platform.  And as I’ve been saying for a long time, this conversion of Musk to Trump didn’t happen overnight.  Elon Musk didn’t just decide yesterday to become a conservative.  This is a transition that has come over time and experience.  Out of necessity, Musk dedicated his life to taking humans to Mars, and there was only one way to get there.  And I’m not talking about rockets.  Humans can build just about anything.  Invention is not the problem.  The problem is that humans also penalize themselves with timidity, so we give governments too much power by default.  And we allow them to create too much regulation, which is currently the world’s biggest threat.  Elon Musk sees through Trump a path to solving that problem by making himself the head of the Department of Government Efficiency with a President Trump appointment.  Under Trump, the thing that has to happen is massive deregulation and a shrinking of government in every way possible.  All those ridiculous government jobs that are out there need to be private sector positions, so a massive transition has to occur, and Trump is the best way to get there.  And Musk knows it’s in his best interest, given his dedication to the cause, to help Trump. 

We’re seeing the same thing going on with RFK supporting Trump.  When Democrats are moving into the GOP tent, that’s a good thing.  We may not be all ideologically aligned.  There is a lot with Elon Musk that I would say is way too progressive for my way of thinking.  But I can deal with people who disagree with me.  What I can’t deal with are people trying to destroy my country and attempting to kill or control the entire human race.  We have seen just such characters at the World Economic Forum.  Thinking back to an old friend at Clear Channel Radio in Cincinnati, Darryl Parks, he predicted that someone like Elon Musk would come along and change how radio broadcasts were done.  Through “X,” radio has changed forever through its “Spaces” utilization.  That interview between Musk and Trump reached over a billion people 24 hours after it happened, which is phenomenal.  But it’s also the way of the future.  As humans colonize space, it’s through communication through “X” that people will keep up with media and exchange ideas.  It won’t be the traditional print and FCC-controlled wave broadcasts.  Hosting a podcast on “X” is far more potent than being booked as a guest on a cable news station.  I learned that myself years ago after I did a stint on CNN.  My blog platform reached many more people over a long period than the bits you can do on traditional television.  Now, Musk owns that formula for perpetuating the human race into a change state that will make human beings interplanetary.  Musk has spent billions of dollars making his vision for humans migrating into space possible.  And at this point, the only thing standing in his way is the Democrat party and their governments of global communism and stifling regulatory burdens.  And with Trump back in the White House, Musk can play a substantial massive role in making the government less intrusive, as he has done with his management style at Tesla and “X.”  And I think it’s inspiring and fascinating, the complete opposite of what we have been seeing out of government.  And it is more than within reach, according to that “unscientific” poll, which looks far more accurate than anything else.

The Trouble with ‘Visibility Filtering’: If Twitter wants better ad revenue under “X,” it could do much better by removing that practice

A term called “visibility filtering” goes on all over the internet, and I am specifically a target of it.  That is probably more than most of anybody out there, even celebrity pundits.  There are people online with millions of followers, and the talk has been that many of them are bots or purchased in some way.  Every day, I get offers from online tech helpers to help me expand my followers and visibility.  The trick to the sauce on these helpers is that they know when a name or account has been weighed down with “visibility filters.”  And for a price, they can remove some of the causes of that filtering and expand your online visibility.  For a long time, this practice has been called “shadow banning,” and is what the intelligence agencies were doing to people they thought were provocateurs.  The reason I have been a specific target, and this goes back well over ten years to the early days of the Tea Party, is that I am very dangerous because the manipulators aren’t sure how to deal with me.  So, they might shadow-ban an online account and eventually ban them, such as what happened on Twitter to people like Alex Jones and President Trump.  They aren’t sure what to do with people who aren’t so overt with the rules and are not motivated by the sense of popularity, socially, for which they control.  When Elon Musk bought Twitter, a central problem he had to deal with was the practice of visibility filtering.  He could claim that Twitter, now “X,” was a free speech platform, so people like me weren’t banned by the content they exhibited.  But they could put serious visibility filters on a person so that nothing they produced would go viral and reach tens of millions of people.  They might allow the content to be on their platform, but they weren’t obligated to help make it visible to anybody who didn’t come to find it shoved over in the corner where they hope nobody will see it. 

This is largely a liability thing, with Elon Musk, Twitter has been better.  But once the word is out on a person, like me, then everything they are involved in gets tagged with visibility filtering.  I’ve told people for years that this was the case with me.  While my blog gets millions of hits per month, I can see the activity on my administrator side, so I have known what’s been going on for a long time.  But interaction with me or my content has been very frustrating to all but those who deliberately seek out what I produce.  You indeed won’t find it on a Google top search if it’s the only thing made with the keywords specified.  The internet was never free and built to control the human population.  Not to free it with the intentions of free speech and open elections.  The intent of the internet was the other way around.  Most of the world is a socialist or communist hell hole, and the internet has been perfect propaganda for their political movement; it has been the menace of globalists for sure, especially those acting as domestic enemies within the United States.  But my motivations don’t fit nicely on their profile sheet, so they don’t know what to do with me.  So my name, associated with anything Rich Hoffman, “overmanwarrior,” or gunfighter, has a lot of visibility filtering on it to frustrate people from finding my content.  Even with all the restrictions, it is still worth doing what I do because a lot of people do see the material, and it provides context to what they would otherwise observe in mass media. 

I have the same problem with Truth Social and Gettr as with YouTube and Twitter.  I have been completely removed from Truth Social at least five times as editors on their server have been alarmed by my content and removed me for liability reasons.  Elon Musk is challenged with the same legal premise.  How do you provide free speech to just anybody?  What is the social media’s responsibility to constitutional concepts when dealing with a global exchange of ideas?  To avoid these complicated legal parameters, the safest thing for them is to reduce visibility and provide free speech but do everything they can to ensure that nobody sees it except those who seek the information out deliberately through that user profile.  You can see the evidence of this by looking at my YouTube account, which I hardly ever use anymore.  I have videos on there that have been up for over ten years with less than 100 views on them.  While the same type of content put up on my Rumble account has that many views in just a few hours.  Twitter has been really bad about it.  And Elon Musk has been happy to extend that criteria under the advice of the lefty lawyers that are part of all law firms these days.  However, he has been torn about the practice and has supported characters like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones.  However, they are known celebrity commentators who have a free speech parameter that stays within the intelligence agency safe zones.  What they say might be dangerous, but it falls within the controls of the specified groups that can be monitored more easily by the FBI and CIA.  My stuff often goes many steps further and is just too controversial to roam free all over the internet.  So, it is visibility filtered heavily. 

Many of these social media platforms were never supposed to be profitable, so these controls are how they operate with content restriction while still being a fly trap for radicalism that the lazy intelligence agencies can monitor from the comfort of their office cubicles and corner offices.  However, Musk bought Twitter to make it a profitable enterprise and quickly converted it to “X” to facilitate an online presence that he had been thinking about for a long time.  And it’s a pretty good idea.  However, like all things free market-driven, the social controls that exist in the background, the “visibility filtering” that has been going on so aggressively, is holding back the ad revenue Musk is seeking.  When woke corporations make up most of the advertising dollars these days because they know the social controls are the driver to visibility, so they all play by the same woke rules; if Elon Musk doesn’t operate “X” the same way that BlackRock is running the boards of all their other companies, then ad revenue can choke out the business model forever for “X” and ownership will continue to be a drag on Musk, forever.  Which is the game that is played and how they get everyone to follow the rules.  But of course, there is a strategy that can make “X” profitable, and I would point to MMA fighting as the model everyone could follow.  The fewer restrictions on a social occurrence, the more people want to see and participate.  If “X” eliminated the practice of “visibility filtering,” more real people would be attracted to its use, breaking the ban from advertisers and forcing everyone into woke criteria.  The advertising would indeed be market-driven based on the need for authentic content.  Not social media editing.  People want to show up to see a fight and enjoy advertising supporting that consumption.  But suppose all the rules are the same woke garbage. In that case, people are indifferent, and advertising is greatly restricted within the funnel of woke social rules and global goals of communist centralized authorities of state media, such as Russia, China, Cuba, and most other places all over the world experience—just some friendly advice.  I don’t care; I’ll do what I do regardless.  But if you want social media to be profitable, get the “visibility filtering” out of the business and watch how quickly things change for the better.

History Will Remember How ‘Truth Social’ Saved Free Speech: The Home of President Trump

There was quite a stir when President Trump posted for the first time on X, or whatever Twitter is called these days. Trump put his mug shot on there, and the numbers exploded upon seeing it. I thought it was a great move, but I don’t think it says anything about Trump returning to Twitter as much as it indicates what he will do to win back the White House. Essentially, Trump is all in; he will do anything, and I mean anything, to beat these Marxist losers and kick out the crooked Biden crime family from the White House. I did not see it as abandoning his personal social media site, Truth Social. Later, President Trump assured everyone that Truth Social was his home and that he would stay with it. That doesn’t mean he can’t post what he wants on other social media outlets. Only that Truth Social remained true to his heart, and it should. I think when the smoke clears from this period of history, there will be one common thing that everyone will point to and say, “That saved America.” And I think that thing will be the creation of Truth Social. It was a very dark day; I remember it well. It was the closest thing we have ever seen to a hostile regime change in America, involving thousands of people hostile to Trump and his supporters. After January 20th, 2021, Trump left the White House for the last time, and essentially, he was openly banned from all social media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Google search engines; the writing was on the wall. We didn’t just have an election that was in dispute; we had a government assassination much the way we did with Kennedy and Nixon. And it happened right before our faces in a way nobody expected. Well, very few people did expect it. I expected it. But the results were shocking to a lot of people.

I don’t talk about a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff.  I put out my social media, and lots of people see it.  But there is a lot of shadow banning going on, and with me, that has been the case since social media started.  In many ways, I may be one of the most shadow-banned people on planet Earth.  I noticed it on YouTube years ago, well before President Trump joined politics.  You can look at videos I did 15 years ago and see that some have less than 100 views.  Some people put videos of hamsters drinking water, which get millions of hits, so for videos that old, what in the world was going on?  Well, it’s the same on my Twitter account and even my blog.  There are many ways that the people who control those social media platforms, apparently low-level people, can suppress the algorithm to your material for search engines, which many people know about.  But they can also tamper with social media counting, such as viewing results, followers, subscribers, and how your overall reach reaches.  To get a little sample of what I’m talking about, look at the views on my Rumble account videos compared to my YouTube account, and you will see what I’m talking about.  I see one set of numbers on my blog on my administrative page.  But on the display page, it’s a much-suppressed number.  Occasionally, when the software that the social media companies are updating and their algorithm scanning software is on pause, I get an accurate picture of how many people visit my sites.  That’s when I usually take a photo to validate the results.  But to put it mildly, the bad guys control the internet, let people see what they decide, and manage the transaction.  That is the purpose of the internet: more power, not more freedom.  And that game plan was never more evident than on January 20th, 2021, when the world of media, on all fronts, tried to make President Trump, the guy who just spent four years in the White House leading the free world, a “nonperson,” as Rupert Murdoch at Fox News clearly stated.  They were in control, and anybody they wanted to target they felt they could paint out of existence. 

The payback will be harsh, as it should be

In reaction to it, I was looking over my shoulder a lot.  There were a lot of shadowy characters popping into my life, and I was prepared to have a shootout with those hostile forces at any moment.  The crackdown was in full effect, and I was indeed a target.  My wife and I hooked up our RV and headed for the deserts of New Mexico to get things straight.  It was probably one of the best decisions in life that I have ever made.  There, I finished my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business and figured out what to do next.  And in the following months, the resistance movement against these tyrannical, election-stealing terrorists in the White House was taking shape.  Trump wouldn’t allow some third party to control his next campaign or the freedom movement in general.  As many others did, we would create our own social media companies and turn the tables on the bad guys.   And it would be painful for them.

I still watch and listen to everyone, even the bad guys on cable news, like MSNBC and corporate-run talk radio, just to understand what those idiots think. Most of my information comes from the live streams on Gettr. And once President Trump started Truth Social, I was among the first accepted accounts. And there is quite a lot to that story, too. I have had a lot of trouble with Truth Social, but it is not their fault. But there has been a lot of tampering that has locked my account many times. But, the social media element has undoubtedly forced the entire industry to change. Under Elon Musk, I have given Twitter a bit of a chance. It’s better. My account shows few social media impressions because it is so heavily shadow-banned. But I routinely get many tens of thousands of views when I comment on an account that isn’t so heavily shadow-banned, which is very effective. Social media, like their communist partners in China and the World Economic Forum, will let a few controlled people present the appearance of free speech. But the hostile anti-free speech people try to suppress them in every way possible. Truth Social was the first to break that wall down brick by brick, and it was brilliant of President Trump to utilize. Ultimately, it will likely be what won the war because it took the clamps off free speech and forced the alternatives to adjust their approach. And it broke the model of tyranny behind the creation of the Internet. As a result, the message of Trump and the rest of us can get out to others, and the government and the hostile agents that control our government now cannot stop people from hearing other opinions. And the planned communism that was always part of the Internet plan is falling apart. Truth Social opened the door to Free Speech on the Internet because it was the home of the most famous person on earth. And that pressure may save the world yet.

The Truth about Truth Social: Worth the wait and the first step in Making America Great Again

I remember it extremely well; it was just over a year ago, relative to the time of this writing, and my wife and I were in Lincoln County, New Mexico. I was exploring the courthouse where Billy the Kid had made his famous escape, and I felt very reflective. I was so angry over the Biden theft of the American presidency. I was even more furious at how the media and liberals had treated Trump over the last four years. In the past, when their people were in the White House, “they” being the Desecrators of America, those who fight to destroy it instead of preserve it, we always treated them with fairness. We always lived by the concept of rule of law and Constitutional limits on behavior. But at that moment, I was thinking very seriously about going Billy the Kid on society in general, so the famous escape from that courthouse was on my mind. Trump had recently been kicked off his Twitter account, and we could see the plot of what many had planned for a long time. We were being hunted as conservatives, and the message was clear. We did not control our own election. We did not control our country. We were going to get Joe Biden, and we were going to like it. And if we resisted, we were going to be banned from all public life and hunted down for the rest of our days. To say I was angry at the world was an understatement. So my wife and I left to live in the deserts of New Mexico for a bit, to get our wits about us once again. I found some sanity in the idea that Trump might start his own social media company and that from there, we would strike back at these dark forces and turn the tables on them for good.

I am incredibly pleased to say that Truth Social is now a reality. I’ve been on it since the first day, and I absolutely love it. It is great to see daily postings from Melania Trump, Dan Scavino, and many other Trump insiders again. I stopped looking at Twitter when they kicked Trump off. Still, now that President Trump has started Truth Social, I can see the path to restoring our country back to greatness because it puts communication and entertainment back under our control.   At that moment in New Mexico that I described, I wondered if things would ever feel good in America again. But now, I’m sure of it. What happened to Trump and many of us who were shadowbanned, or even literally banned from Twitter, Facebook, and from Google in general, are options. We now have the best kind of thing in the world, a choice. A choice in America will defeat every evil intention the world tries to place upon us. When you choose, it forces all the bad stuff to hide in the shadows, which has happened since that year. Revenge has been served through choice.

First, Jason Miller from the Trump campaign started his own social media platform, Gettr, which I think is fantastic. I have been using it almost exclusively.   With all the betrayals of Fox News and even Newsmax, it has been Steve Bannon’s the Warroom that has filled the void for the MAGA movement. And Gettr has been the place to interact with them and other conservative media outlets like Real America’s Voice and OANN. When the Desecrators formed the plan to take down America, they planned for all the media companies to be in the bag with the Davos guys. They had it all set up, making it so that Fox News would be the last to fall, which was evident on election night when they called Arizona right at 8 PM, as there were still voters in line voting. The gig was up, and the other side was spiking the football, thinking the game was over for good. But Trump and the rest of us are not passivists. We turned to our own abilities, which is always the thing to do. If we don’t like what the progressives want to give us, we should just go off and make our own thing. And in doing that, it destroys the plans the other side has. They have no plan B. 

I really like Truth Social, now that it came open at the beginning of March of 2022. I know the line is long, and it’s taking people a long time to get into it. There are millions of people trying to get in, so they are seeping new users in slowly to maintain system stabilization. It took Twitter years to handle its users, and the demand for Truth Social is much more robust. But by the time we have the next election cycle in 2022, there will be millions of people there who are very active in the MAGA movement. There will be plenty of social media alternatives to use, which will keep everyone connected. And that is a relief. A much better situation than what I spoke about from Lincoln County, New Mexico: at that time, something like a Truth Social media platform seemed like a remote fantasy. But I’m happy to report that it is very much a reality. I’ve only been on it for a few days, and I’m already at 2K with followers. I have always been shadowbanned by the big tech companies, and instantly, on Truth Social, you can see that it genuinely is a free-speech platform. It’s a huge difference for me. 

And what’s best, it’s classy. It reminds me of what a Trump property feels like when you visit one. It has a Trump quality that extends beyond the hate and vitriol of the hostile leftist media culture. I think I do a pretty good job dealing with people of all kinds of backgrounds. I can talk to anybody professionally, even the bluest bleeding liberal. But I don’t want to hear from them in my personal time; I don’t want to see them. I want to be away from them as much as possible, and the wimpy little “Tweets” from Twitter were always no fun for me. Places where the entire platform felt like the Santa Monica Pier in L.A. filled with liberalism and a lack of wisdom, were always uncomfortable. It is good to have a quality place like Truth Social that feels slicker, smarter, and bigger. It feels more American than any of the other social media platforms ever have, and that is refreshing and well worth the wait. I’ve been through this process several times, most notably with Glenn Beck’s The Blaze.

I used to be friends with some of the people who started that, and I always had high hopes. But creating a big social media platform seemed on a prohibitive scale. But obviously, it’s not. It only took a year, and now Trump has a place where he can communicate with his supporters, and they can healthily bypass the media. The media and the Desecrators always planned to stick themselves in the middle of that process; now, we have a means of communicating and thinking that steps around those hostile agents. And I can’t say enough good about it. It’s nice to see how far we’ve all come in such a short time. That effort will only grow in the months and years to come. And I’m glad I held it together and kept my temper in check that day in Lincoln County. I think Truth Social is a much more productive way to make things right than what I was thinking.

Billy Gates Wants Censorship: These losers are about to bite the dust

Big Tech wants Censorship to Protect their own Ass

Of course, there is a lot behind the ridiculous Biden administration speeches on January 6th, 2022. But to see it, you must look at the people who illegally put Biden in office, not the puppets themselves, the old man, and that sleep-around girl, Kamala Harris. What they said to America about the FBI instigated riots at the Capitol building was a poke in all our eyes, but why they said it is quite a testament to the things that are coming. I’ll say it for the hundredth time, my wife and I were talking about it extensively today at breakfast, before 6 AM; the most significant thing we did for ourselves in 2021 was to travel around the country in our RV and get to know the real people who are out there. Not the Washington D.C. swamp creatures who want to be paid with extorted taxpayer money to run an inefficient administrative state that serves themselves and not the rest of us. If we hadn’t traveled so much, I don’t know that I would feel so secure in our position right now. But I do, and quickly to me upon watching the Biden administration attempt to make January 6th some kind of ceremonial thing for the insurgent, anti-constitutional, political left, they showed the cards they had been trying to conceal for over a hundred years. They are desperate and out of control, and the cracks are showing in a very desperate way. 

The people who have propped up the Biden administration and put them in power are in a panic since it has become quite evident to them that the Bill of Rights in America is not going to allow them to do what they wanted to do, a complete overthrow of the American way of life and incorporation of the United Nations into the managing structure of our domestic affairs. The Second Amendment has given people that extra bit of confidence to stand up to an out-of-control government over Covid concerns. The line crossing that has been going on in Australia because they allowed for strict gun control by their government has not panned out in America. That has infinitely frustrated anti-Americans like Billy boy Gates. Little Billy these days wants censorship because his control over social media, or we should say, many hundreds of millions of dollars of influence, has not moved the needle toward an authoritarian regime that would allow pinheads like him to run our country from some wine cellar in Davos. Mark Zuckerbucks has expressed the same desire for more censorship and federal control of free speech on social media platforms because they are losing control of their control, and they don’t like it. 

In hindsight, from Twitter, the plan was clearly to control free speech. Twitter was set up like an ant trap, where we expressed ourselves in ways that algorithms could detect, and we’d take all that code back to our nests so they could kill our colony. And by kill, we mean our notion of a free speech republic and surrender it to a totalitarian Big Tech control of the entire world. Hey, we can’t blame them for trying. From the dawn of mankind to the present, every destitute soul has attempted to abuse their authority, and these losers are no different. They are just the latest to try and fail.   What pains us is that we wanted to trust them; we liked them. And now that we have been let down by the boy wonders, the Billy Gates types, the whitewashed Mark Zuckerberg, the eastern philosophy loving Jack Dorsey—they sold themselves to us as friends, and now we are quite hurt to see their true intentions. And being the geeks that they have been most of their lives, they miss that trust now that they’ve lost it. For them, it is quite shocking to see that all the billions of dollars that they have in a bank account can’t buy them the love that they have lost over the 2020 election and their perpetuation of Covid as a mask for their malice. 

Just as they put the clamps down on their social media platforms and attempted to launch Chinese-style controls on all speech, the American free-market responded by separating from their control and launching competitive media outlets, like Roku’s Real America’s Voice and the social media platform Gettr.  And coming up in 2022 will be President Trump’s own media company called Truth Social. I already have an icon for it on my desktop, and from what I’ve been able to see, it will be a very successful platform that any in that Davos crowd will not control, and that has everyone in a bit of a panic, which was reflected in the Biden speech. This literally is their last gasp of air before they choke on the notion that they have less control over the population now than they did before 2016. The big difference is that many of their methods have moved from conspiracy theory, the uncomfortable suspicion that they all wanted to rule as a global government at all costs, to the literal realization that was precisely what they were doing. Thinking and knowing are different things with different contexts once the reality is established, and now that it has been, Billy Gates and Zuckerbucks can see the writing on the wall for their future and their entire life’s work. With all they’ve done, they are being foiled as we speak, and that wasn’t something they considered in their many mad scientist’s plans to take over the world for the good of us all.

So they are doing what they do; they are asking for an authoritarian government that is centralized and run by their campaign donations to give them the power they don’t have, which our American Constitution limits for these specific purposes. And they are now starting to doubt that they will ever get such authority, especially with the mid-terms coming up. If Republicans take the House and Senate in 2022, their long-laid plans will be over, and they will lose billions and billions of dollars. Of course, they don’t care about the lost money, but the impact to their reputations is hurting them most. They have been bragging about what their money could buy to people for years, and now they are watching it all blow up in their faces. So keep that in mind as you watch commentators try to get their minds wrapped around Biden’s January 6th speech. They know what they did, and they are caught and trying to use that incident to cover up all their crimes. But what we have here is an insurgent government paid for by these Big Tech corporations with global intentions to enslave us, and they miscalculated how much people would hold on to their rule of law by Constitution. And now that they’ve seen how deeply it runs, and what little they can do actually to maintain control of media, politics, and the various homes spread out across the nation in any sustainable way, they have panic in their actions that show us just how poor a hand they’ve had all along. It’s time to push up the bets because these losers are about to bite the dust.

From the Desk of Donald J. Trump: Enjoy!

Donald J. Trump

5:00pm May 24, 2021

Highly respected pollster John McLaughlin says 73% of all Republicans want Trump to run again in 2024 and Republican primary voters would support him 82%-13%. Even the Washington Post has just reported “All Republican Roads Lead to Mar-a-Lago.” What WaPo and other members of the Fake News Media don’t report is that Joe Biden is of no interest to anybody—21 million less people watched his Joint Address to Congress than watched mine. Also, Biden’s ratings have killed the Radical Left Fake News Cable Channels. MSNBC and CNN have plummeted in the ratings. MSNBC doesn’t have a show in the top 10 of all cable news programs, and CNN doesn’t even have a show in the top 100. They should have embraced and endorsed “Trump”—their ratings would have been at new highs! I have been doing very limited media so the American public could see just how big of a disaster the Biden Administration has been, and I was right. Inflation, the Border Crisis, our forgotten Military, war in the Middle East, all as a result of Biden’s mistakes. Our Country is being destroyed. Watch, it’s only going to get worse! The Washington Post also incorrectly reported about my DonaldJTrump.com website viewership. We have not yet launched our own social media “platform,” but even the very basic site we have to post our statements has received 36.7 million views over the past month alone, and we’re getting more traffic to our website now than in 2020, an Election year! This number would be even greater if we were still on Twitter and Facebook, but since Big Tech has illegally banned me, tens of millions of our supporters have stopped using these platforms because they’ve become “boring” and nasty. My website is a place where everyone can see my statements, issued in real time, and engage with the MAGA Movement. This is meant to be a temporary way of getting my thoughts and ideas out to the public without the Fake News spin, but the website is not a “platform.” It is merely a way of communicating until I decide on what the future will be for the choice or establishment of a platform. It will happen soon. Stay tuned!

Trump’s New Social Media Platform: I can’t wait!

Going all the way back to Myspace, the social media platform, I have been very weary, and have pushed back against the tide of building a big social media personality on the terms of the creators of those spaces  I used Myspace for some of the professional activity I was involved in back in their prime time, and I was in Los Angeles when Facebook was breaking through and the company was using some of the celebrities I knew to convince people to make the switch to the Zuckerberg company as influencers.  When I heard the pitch from Facebook, I was alarmed at how that 21-year-old kid, Zuckerberg had become a billionaire so quickly with essentially the next generation of Myspace, a free platform for social media sharing of music and video at the maker level.  Due to that meeting, I never signed up for a personal Facebook account which remains the case to this very day.  I don’t trust them, and I don’t like them.  And now, because of all the massive election tampering that Facebook, Google and Twitter participated in during 2020, I have purged them all from my life as much as I can.  I used to use Twitter everyday as a kind of news feed, but since they removed Trump from the platform, I can’t stand to even open it anymore.  A lot of people I know are on it still, but I don’t like them as a company.  I don’t like Jack Dorsey personally, and I want nothing to do with them.  I would have deleted my account, but I have over ten years of history there that is tied into my blog, so my reaction has been to just stop using it.  These days for my blog, I use mostly Rumble to produce my own content pushing aside Twitter and YouTube until it becomes clear where the world is going. 

I had a good feeling after the election based on the things I was hearing close to Trump that he was going to be starting his own platform, and recently Jason Miller confirmed it.  Really for two decades I have been waiting for just such a person like Trump to create a social media space that I felt I could invest myself in.  In the past, with my blog, and video coverage first on YouTube and now Rumble where I have many hundreds of videos already, I sort of halfheartedly participated because I never liked the characters who were running the companies.  I have been saying for a long time that conservatives were going to have to penetrate those entertainment markets to really protect the brand of conservatism truly.  Conservatives used to run Hollywood, such as John Wayne going all the way into the 80s, but we have allowed liberals to move into those markets out of a thinly veiled sense of fairness only to find ourselves eventually edited out of existence.  All that culminated in 2020 with the censorship first of anybody who questioned Covid-19 medical practices, then ultimately the election for president that had obvious tampering that was unforgivable.  Just the amount of money and tampering that Facebook involved itself in was a mandate for major reforms in social media, so I have been waiting patiently for the news that Jason Miller just recently delivered about a Trump social media platform.  This is an action that has to happen if conservatives ever want to have a voice in a public arena again, so I am glad to see that it will soon be an option. 

Conservatives are going to have to make their own movies, produce their own music and publish their own books.  I’m not going to lie, this election cost me a lot, I have a book of my own that I was working through with Amazon’s Book Baby to publish.  They have great resources at Amazon and if you are publishing a book, they should be one of the first places you go, from a business perspective.  But after what they did to Parlor, I immediately cancelled my book knowing that they would likely cancel me once we got too far into it to go back.  I found a very good conservative publishing group out of Florida that I have gone with instead and we’ll see how it goes.  They are nowhere near as deep as Amazon so the hill to getting a product to market is a lot steeper, but ultimately I feel better about who I’m working with, and to me, that’s what counts.  The book will be out later this year, delayed by several months because of the switch in publishers, but I will enjoy the process more knowing I’m working with like minded people and that I don’t have to dance around all their woke company policies just to participate in the marketplace.  Ultimately, the consumer should decide the success or failure of a project, not the companies themselves by forcing the entire marketplace to adapt to their social stance, which happens to be extremely progressive/communist. 

With a Trump social media platform, whatever form it takes, I will certainly be one of the first to sign up, and I will likely invest quite a lot of myself into it, to help where I can because I can get into anything that Trump is a part of.  Why be a victim to the media moguls out there who are liberal when you can be your own media mogul?  Trump is in position to do such a thing, and I see it as a unique opportunity to make it successful and bust up these vast liberal empires that have been rotting our culture for several decades now.  Going back to that Facebook pitch, everyone knew I was a conservative, but Myspace didn’t care so much about that then.  But I could tell with Facebook that the trend was going in the wrong direction.  It looked like a mousetrap to me, where they made communication too easy with friends and family because they were going to sell the information they gathered on you as the user of the product.  Because you were their product.  Back then, people from different points of view could get together as we did in Hollywood in the pre-Facebook days.  I could promote my books and my bullwhip work, people enjoyed it, and it was fun for people to exchange ideas.  That all went out the window once it was realized that social media evolved away from bringing people together and moved into turning people into products and that abuse of them was perfectly acceptable in this newly radical liberal society of Silicon Valley domestic terrorists. 

American society should always be about choice, and with the news that Trump is going to provide that choice, I see excitement brewing on the horizon.   I’m certainly excited about it.  I’ve done my part to be as free as possible to enjoy it too.  I’m glad I switched publishers and made personal decisions that align well with the next steps of the Trump campaign for 2024.  The first thing he needs to do is to control the message so that Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg can’t tamper with the future elections.  Instead, I will be cheering on the end of their companies every day and when they eventually do fail, I will be very happy on that day due to the way they have behaved toward America.  Until Trump’s announcement, I just stood in the background because there wasn’t another option.  However, now there will be, and that is the first big step into fixing so much of what is wrong now.  The solutions start with choice.
