President Trump’s post to Truth Social blasted the FBI, who he says “illegally suppressed all of the really bad information on the Biden family (laptop!) at a level never before seen,” in an effort to protect the Biden presidential campaign and the interests of the uni-party establishment.

While the FBI and their media allies blamed the now-verified Hunter Biden laptop story on “Russian disinformation,” they blocked positive news about Trump from getting out to the public, the President posted.

Instead, they’d put out “bad stuff,” in what many have compared to a psychological operation against American voters – a sentiment President Trump seems to agree with.

“That would be the very definition of the Government’s RIGGING of an Election,” President Trump wrote, before linking the campaign consultant class into the plot as well.

“That would be the very definition of the Government’s RIGGING of an Election. Pollsters projected this Scam made a difference of Millions of votes,” President Trump went on. “What are the CONSEQUENCES?” he asked.

President Trump called out the FBI and mockingbird media after calling out the soon-to-be-defunct J6 Committee in a prior post to Truth Social, lamenting the hyper-partisan Pelosi panel as an “Unselect Committee of political Thugs.”

That post came after the J6 committee was forced to withdraw their subpoena of President Trump “concerning the January 6th Protest of the CROOKED 2020 Presidential Election,” he explained.

“Perhaps the FBI’s involvement in RIGGING the Election played into their decision,” wrote Trump.

“In any event, the Subpoena is DEAD!”

Truth Social Initially Slaps Warning Label on Post from Stew Peters https://nationalfile.com/truth-social-initially-slaps-warning-label-on-stew-peters-post/ Mon, 28 Nov 2022 19:12:38 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=56547 Last Updated on November 28, 2022

A Truth Social post from conservative commentator and Died Suddenly creator Stew Peters initially received a “sensitive content” label before it later disappeared. The post drew attention to a number of public health officials who have reportedly suffered adverse effects from the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. Peters has tested the platform’s commitment to free speech absolutism in the past.

The post was not deleted, though it was slapped with a “sensitive content” warning that viewers had to acknowledge before viewing the post and linked article. “‘Truth’ Social has more censorship than Elon Musk’s Twitter,” Peters wrote in a Gab post referencing the warning label.

Former President Trump launched Truth Social in the name of free speech absolutism after his Twitter account was unjustly shut down. However, the company does adhere to a number of “anti-hate” standards laid out by Google and Apple in order for its app to be available in their respective marketplaces.

Stew Peters has questioned the platform’s commitment to free speech absolutism in the past. Not long after the platform was launched, Peters was slapped with a similar label after testing the platform’s boundaries compared with other Twitter alternatives.

“I’m ALREADY being censored on Truth Social. Want to know what I said?” Peters wrote in a Gab post. “I said, ‘The people in our government responsible for allowing our kids to be killed with these dangerous Covid shots, should be put on trial and executed.’ Free Speech isn’t free.” The post was slapped with a warning label from Truth Social but left undisturbed by Gab and Telegram.

It is unclear whether former President Trump will remain committed to Truth Social for the long-term, though he has indicated as such to this point. Trump’s famous Twitter account was recently unbanned by Elon Musk, though the former president has indicated that he intends to stay on Truth Social.

America First: Rep. Gosar Will ‘Always’ Be a ‘NO Vote’ on Amnesty for Illegal Aliens https://nationalfile.com/gosar-no-vote-amnesty/ Mon, 28 Nov 2022 12:57:38 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=56526 Last Updated on November 28, 2022

Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar vowed that he will “always” oppose amnesty for illegal aliens in a post he made to Gab, reminding readers that those who violate America’s laws don’t deserve to be handed citizenship. With Joe Biden in the White House and Republicans holding only a tiny House majority, Democrats are poised to work with the GOP establishment to ram amnesty for illegal aliens through the legislature.

“Illegal aliens, whose very first act in our country is to violate our laws, are criminals who do not deserve citizenship,” Rep. Gosar posted to Gab over the weekend, blasting out his opposition to the recent talks on providing amnesty to tens of millions of illegal aliens.

“I’ll always be a NO vote on amnesty,” Rep. Gosar wrote.

Gosar’s Gab post against amnesty for illegal aliens comes as Democrats and the GOP establishment appear poised to ram an amnesty through the House and Senate, following the 2022 midterms in which the predicted “red wave” failed to materialize, showing itself to be a mere pink trickle instead.

This is after legislators in Washington, have spent decades using America’s borders as a political football.

Under Joe Biden, record levels (millions) of illegal aliens have crossed America’s southern border, and untold hundreds of thousands to millions more are actively overstaying visas from other parts of the world, with enforcement efforts at an all-time low.

In 2022, open borders are a public piece of the Democrat agenda and a private piece of the GOP establishment agenda.

In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan gave no-questions-asked citizenship to millions of illegal aliens when he signed amnesty legislation very similar to what Democrats are calling for today.

Even though it was supposedly a “one-time” amnesty program that failed to secure America’s borders, Democrats have spent the next roughly 40 years demanding one more one-time amnesty program for illegal aliens.

Now, they appear dangerously close to getting exactly that, needing only a few establishment Republicans to cross the aisle and throw their support to the open borders agenda backed by the donor class of both parties. If they can ram amnesty legislation through Congress, it will almost certainly receive a rubber stamp the moment it gets to Joe Biden’s desk.

Video: Fox News Wants Free Speech Parler to Censor Kanye Over ‘Antisemitism’ https://nationalfile.com/video-fox-news-wants-free-speech-parler-to-censor-kanye-over-antisemitism/ Wed, 19 Oct 2022 16:07:37 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=55405 Last Updated on October 19, 2022

Fox News host Stuart Varney pressed Parler CEO George Farmer to censor Kanye West, who now legally goes by the name of Ye, over accusations of “antisemitism.” This week, Ye announced his plans to buy Parler, the fledgling social media platform built around free speech.

Parler CEO George Farmer joined Fox Business host Stuart Varney this week on his Varney & Company program to talk about Ye’s plans to purchase the social media platform, which centers around free speech. The move comes after Ye was barred from Twitter and even de-banked for questioning what he sees as the Jewish dominance of entertainment, technology, and banking.

That dominance, Ye says, is coming at the expense of the American people, particularly black people.

During his interview with Parler CEO George Farmer, who is married to Candice Owens, Varney asked if Parler’s free speech principles would be violated to silence posts like the ones that got Ye booted from Twitter.

“Are you going to go for total free speech?” Varney asked. “And if so, does that include allowing anti-Semitic posts like the one that got Ye locked out of Twitter?”

After Farmer doubled down on Parler’s free speech business model, Varney again accused him of harboring antisemitism by way of allowing the free flow of ideas.

“We all want free speech, but do we all want anti-Semitism writ large on Parler?” pressed Varney, who remained unable to force Farmer into committing to censor Parler users.

Farmer also revealed that, once Ye’s purchase of Parler goes through, Ye will be the platform’s “controller,” deciding what is and isn’t allowed on the site.

Watch Varney’s Pro-Censorship Interview With George Farmer HERE

The occasion didn’t mark the first time that Stuart Varney and Fox News have searched for a reason to accuse someone of antisemitism, and tried to censor them as a result.

In 2018, Varney cut short an interview with U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert, after he dared to bring up left-wing oligarch George Soros and his Nazi collaboration in World War 2. Soros, who is Jewish, spent the war in his native Hungary helping the Nazis to round up his fellow Jewish people.

“In the last hour, one of our guests, Congressman Louie Gohmert, for some reason, went out of his way to bring up George Soros and made up unsubstantiated and false allegations against him,” Varney said at the time, as he issued an on-air apology for one of his guests speaking ill of George Soros.

“I want to make clear those views are not shared by me, this program, or anyone at Fox Business,” Varney declared.

At the core of Gohmert’s comments was the accusation that Soros was a Nazi collaborator. While Varney and Fox News call this claim “unsubstantiated and false,” Soros himself has described his World War 2 experience in great detail. Working with the Nazis, Soros says, was “a very happy-making” experience.

“It was actually probably the happiest year of my life, that year of German occupation,” Soros told an interviewer years ago.

“For me, it was a very positive experience,” Soros went on. “It’s a strange thing because you see incredible suffering around you.”

“It’s a very happy-making, exhilarating experience.”

Kanye West Agrees in Principle to Buy Social Media Platform Parler https://nationalfile.com/kanye-west-agrees-in-principle-to-buy-social-media-platform-parler/ Mon, 17 Oct 2022 17:45:23 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=55344 Last Updated on October 17, 2022

Kanye West has reportedly agreed in principle to purchase social media platform Parler, according to PRNewswire. The rap megastar and entrepreneur, who is worth approximately $2 billion, has cited the need for a space for conservative opinions to be allowed to be disseminated freely. The current CEO of Parler is George Farmer, husband of conservative commentator Candace Owens.

“In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves,” West said in a statement released by Parler.

The terms of the acquisition are not currently fully known. According to a press release from last month, Parler has secured approximately $56 million in funding. “The new capital will fuel Parler’s vision to leapfrog the industry by building the world’s premier free speech technology infrastructure and platform”, according to the statement.

Farmer added, “We are entering a new era as Parlement Technologies, one that goes far beyond the boundaries of a free speech social media platform.”

Kanye West, who now goes by “Ye”, was recently booted from Twitter. In addition to Twitter, JP Morgan Chase announced that they had closed a bank account belonging to the rap mogul.

With the prevalence of “cancel culture”, many people have been seeking out alternative platforms where right-leaning opinions are not punished. Parler became immensely popular for a short period of time in the lead-up to the 2020 election, but was dealt a near death blow when Apple removed it from the App Store and Amazon dropped it from its web hosting services following the January 6, 2021 election protest in Washington.

As monolithic platforms such as Facebook (Meta), Twitter, and YouTube have become more censorious, often at the behest of the Biden Administration’s war on “misinformation“, pro-free speech alternatives have garnered funding from several major political figures. Even Twitter may be on its way to being a free speech platform once again, depending on the direction that Elon Musk takes it once his purchase goes final.

Video: Powell Calls For Increased Cryptocurrency Regulation, Admits Government-Led Crypto Will ‘Not Be Anonymous’ https://nationalfile.com/video-powell-calls-for-increased-cryptocurrency-regulation-admits-government-led-crypto-will-not-be-anonymous/ Tue, 27 Sep 2022 20:14:16 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=54798 Last Updated on September 27, 2022

The Federal Reserve Chairman admitted a United States’ Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will “not be anonymous.”

Jerome Powell made the revelation while speaking at an event hosted by the Bank of France on Tuesday. Powell also made calls for increased government regulation of cryptocurrency as it becomes more of a threat to the centralized economy in the United States.

“There’s a real need for more appropriate regulation, so that as DeFi expands and starts to touch more retail customers and that sort of thing, so that appropriate regulation is in place,” Powell said on Tuesday.

As Powell began discussing the potential of a U.S. government-led digital currency, he explained Congress and the White House needs to approve the act before the Federal Reserve can roll out a CBDC.

The Fed is “evaluating both the policy issues and the technology issues” surrounding the expected CBDC.

WATCH:

Powell’s admission that a CBDC would “not be anonymous” infuriated Conservatives across social media.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) slammed Powell’s decision, suggesting it will lead to totalitarian rule in the U.S.

“A monopoly on weapons of personal defense notwithstanding, traceable currency is the most powerful tool of a totalitarian government. According to Fed chair, the central bank digital currency would be ‘identity verified, so it would not be anonymous.’ Wake up folks,” Rep. Massie tweeted.

Donald Trump Jr. also spoke out against a non-anonymous digital currency. “They won’t be happy until they have TOTAL CONTROL over every aspect of your life,” Trump Jr. commented on Twitter.

One social media user echoed a warning concerning Powell’s comments and the establishment of a CBDC. “Any CBDC would necessarily be traceable and will inevitably be abused to control your speech and behaviors. They must be rejected at all costs.”

Truth Social Barred from Google’s ‘Play Store’ Over Lack of Censorship https://nationalfile.com/truth-social-barred-from-googles-play-store-over-lack-of-censorship/ Tue, 30 Aug 2022 17:03:42 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=54301 Last Updated on August 30, 2022

The Truth Social media app championed by President Trump in support of free speech and the free exchange of ideas online is being barred from Google’s Play Store over a lack of censorship, recent reports explain. Truth Social, which was rolled out earlier this year, is one of the most downloaded apps in the world on Apple’s iPhone. Surprisingly, that company has resisted calls from the left to ban the app over its embrace of free speech, which detractors claim makes it a threat to democracy.

Though Android phone users have pre-ordered the Truth Social app through Google’s Play Store, the left-wing Big Tech corporation has refused to release the new social media platform for download, over a lack of censorship.

According to an Axios report, Google says that they “notified Truth Social of several violations of standard policies in their current app submission and reiterated that having effective systems for moderating user-generated content is a condition of our terms of service for any app to go live on Google Play.”

In plain terms, Google is telling Truth Social that their app will remain off limits in the Play Store until they follow suit with Big Tech and censor free speech.

Truth Social, which was rolled out earlier this year, is among the most downloaded apps in the world on Apple’s iPhone, ranking in the top 25 for the month of August 2022. In the first two weeks following its February release on the App Store, Truth Social was downloaded by a whopping 2 million users.

The platform, which resembles Twitter before the rampant censorship, is backed by President Trump and former US Rep. Devin Nunes serves as its CEO.

Despite Google’s censorship demands, Truth Social has already been criticized by its users for slapping their posts with “sensitive material” labels and the like, in an apparent effort to please the big tech oligarchs keeping them off the app markets.

After being banned from platforms like Twitter and Facebook in January of 2021 when they openly colluded with Democrats to stifle the speech of a sitting US President, Trump has used the platform to release public statements and communicate with the American people.

Following the Biden FBI’s recent raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, the 45th President took to Truth Social several times to make public revelations regarding FBI misconduct, accusing them of planting evidence in his home.

An estimated 44% of US adults are said to use Android phones, thereby barring them from downloading Truth Social and seeing the 45th President’s response to the historic raid, which has been compared to the actions of a third-world dictatorship.

TRUTH: Trump Says FBI May Have Planted Evidence, Refused to be Monitored During Raid

The refusal of Google to allow its users to download Truth Social resembles their targeting of other platforms deemed conservative by left-wing big tech oligarchs.

Following the January 6th demonstrations against election fraud, Google and Apple moved in unison to boot Parler from their app stores. That platform was widely mocked for using Amazon servers, rendering it useless when Amazon joined other tech giants in shutting them down.

Gab, which is perhaps the only true free speech platform in existence, has long been banned by Apple and Google alike for the refusal of its founder, Andrew Torba, to compromise on his Christian beliefs and pro-American freedom stances. Alongside big tech, corporate media has taken a hardline anti-Gab position, frequently targeting the popular platform with hit pieces.

Elon Musk Offers to Buy Twitter for $43 Billion https://nationalfile.com/elon-musk-offers-to-buy-twitter-for-43-billion/ Thu, 14 Apr 2022 19:00:41 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=51784 Last Updated on April 14, 2022

Just days after becoming Twitter’s largest shareholder, tech mogul Elon Musk has offered to buy the company outright. Twitter Inc. said in a regulatory filing on Thursday that Musk has offered to buy the remaining shares of Twitter that he doesn’t already own at $54.20 per share, an offer worth more than $43 billion.

Musk has said that Twitter “needs to be transformed” in order to protect free speech. Furthermore, Musk has frequently argued that Twitter has far too much power and that its use of selectively applied terms of service enforcement undermines the app’s integrity. Musk has repeatedly referred to Twitter as a “digital town sqaure.”

“I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy,” Musk said in the filing. “However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.”

The social media giant said it had received Musk’s offer and will decide whether it is in the best interests of shareholders to accept or continue to operate as a publicly traded company. The company’s board of directors first met at 10 am in order to discuss the move. In addition, Twitter has called an “all-hands” meeting for all employees at 5 pm ET.

Musk was initially set to join Twitter’s board on the condition that he would not own more than 14.9% of the company. He later declined the offer to join the board days later, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal announced in a statement.

According to the Associated Press, Agrawal told his employees to be mindful of “distractions” in the coming weeks and to “tune out the noise and stay focused on the work.”

Analyst Daniel Ives of Wedbush said in a client note that he believes “this soap opera will end with Musk owning Twitter after this aggressive hostile takeover of the company”, the AP reported. Ives believes it will be hard for other bidders to come forward and said Twitter’s board will likely be forced to accept Musk’s offer or start a process to sell the company.

Elon Musk Buys 9.2% of Twitter, Becomes Largest Shareholder https://nationalfile.com/elon-musk-buys-9-2-of-twitter-becomes-largest-shareholder/ Mon, 04 Apr 2022 15:55:21 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=51566 Last Updated on April 4, 2022

Elon Musk recently purchased 9.2% of Twitter stock, according to a filing on Monday, which makes him the largest shareholder of the company.

News of the filing sent Twitter shares soaring 22% in early trading, which pushed up to 25% by Monday afternoon. Musk did not disclose what he paid for the shares, but his stake was worth $2.9 billion as of the close of trading Friday, and $3.5 billion after the spike early Monday, according to Fox News.

The purchase comes after Elon Musk had been voicing concerns over free speech on Twitter in recent weeks. “Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy,” Musk wrote in a Twitter poll. After asking whether Twitter adheres to this principle, 70% of respondents voted “no.”

“Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy,” wrote the Tesla CEO in a follow-up tweet. “What should be done?”

The regulatory filing describes Musk as a long-term investor looking to minimize his buying and selling of the shares. “We would expect this passive stake as just the start of broader conversations with the Twitter board/management that could ultimately lead to an active stake and a potential more aggressive ownership role of Twitter,” Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities said in a client note early Monday.

Musk previously told his 80 million Twitter followers that he was “giving serious thought” to creating his own social media platform. Additionally, the tech mogul is currently involved in a bitter dispute with U.S. securities regulators over his ability to post on Twitter. Musk’s lawyer has contended in court motions that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is infringing on the Tesla CEO’s First Amendment rights.

Twitter has become notorious for its selective enforcement of TOS violations, oftentimes leading to partisan censorship. The company has started to ban political candidates in recent years, while sitting U.S. President Trump was infamously banned. Trump was barred from the platform while numerous hostile autocrats remain, highlighting just one example of Twitter’s selectively applied TOS enforcement.

Critics have long called for Twitter and other big tech giants to lose legal protections they enjoy as a platform, arguing that the companies act as a publisher.

YouTube Suspends RSBN Just Days Ahead of Georgia Trump Rally https://nationalfile.com/youtube-suspends-rsbn-just-days-ahead-of-georgia-trump-rally/ Wed, 23 Mar 2022 00:37:28 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=51324 Last Updated on March 22, 2022

YouTube has suspended the account of Right Side Broadcasting (RSBN) just days before the network was set to broadcast a Trump rally in Georgia. “On Tuesday afternoon, we were notified that our abilities to livestream and upload content have been suspended for one week after YouTube deleted two of our videos that allegedly violated their company policies,” the network wrote in a statement.

YouTube’s enforcement action against RSBN marked the second instance in less than a month. The account was previously locked in early March after it carried Trump’s CPAC speech. Right Side was forced to delete the video, which had amassed more than 4 million views, because it violated YouTube’s “election misinformation” policy. The network was ultimately locked out of their account for two weeks.

The videos censored by YouTube include President Trump’s interview with RSBN, as well as an interview with U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

“Giving no respect to our First Amendment rights, YouTube claims these videos contain ‘lections misinformation’ and a lack of ‘sufficient’ context, warranting their removal,” the network said in response to YouTube’s actions. “Blatant Big Tech censorship will not deter RSBN from continuing to livestream President Trump’s upcoming rally in Commerce, Georgia. We are fully prepared to move ahead with all-day live coverage on Rumble. We will not allow the voice of President Trump and his supporters to be silenced.

RSBN has carried dozens of Trump rallies and related election integrity rallies since the 2020 election. As a result, they have been subjected to a relentless big tech censorship campaign across numerous platforms. In addition to YouTube, RSBN’s account has been suspended by Twitter on numerous occasions

Rumble responded to the ban and said they were looking forward to hosting the stream on their platform. “RSBNetwork announced YouTube has suspended them and they will move ALL live coverage to Rumble for President Donald J. Trump’s rally this Saturday in Georgia,” wrote the YouTube competitor in a tweet. “The last time this happened, RSBN almost crashed our servers. Let’s try to do that again.”
