Breitbart:

Nigel Farage’s former Brexit Party, which has been rebranded following departure from the European Union as the Reform Party, has had its bank account shut down.

Metro Bank has informed the Reform UK by letter that “after careful consideration, we are unable to continue to act as your bankers”.

Former Member of European Parliament (MEP) and current Reform UK leader Richard Tice accused the bank of making the decision “based on politics” and told The Telegraph that he fears for the viability of the party if they fail to secure alternative banking services.

Tice, who took over as leader of the party from Brexit champion Nigel Farage, said of Metro Bank’s decision: “It is absolutely outrageous.”

He added: “We are fifth in the polls. It’s not like we’re some extremist zealots. We got 300,000 votes in the May elections.

“If we believe that we’re a proper functioning democracy, then new disrupters need to be able to operate. You can’t operate if you don’t have a bank account that you can pay bills with.”

The bank claimed that the decision to close the account was made after it was determined not to be “commercially viable” and claimed that their business is “politically neutral”.

Richard Tice rejected this assertion, however, claiming that “millions of pounds” had passed through the account and that approximately £750,000 in party expenditures had gone through the account in the past seven to nine months.

Wait for it…

Wait for it…

Richard Tice said that “they’re a private business, they can do what they want. But it’s pretty grim.”

“In a way I sort of have sympathy with them. The compliance is too difficult. It’s so much easier to tick the box and say it’s not a politically exposed person and ‘no problem, I don’t have to think about it,” he said.

A Metro Bank spokesman said: “We regularly review our customer accounts and close those which are no longer commercially viable. The decision to close the Brexit Party account was made for commercial reasons only. Metro Bank is and will remain politically neutral.”

It just never ends.

What do right-wingers gain by maintaining this diehard loyalty to anarcho-capitalist ideology?

It’s clear that they’ve never benefitted from it, and any benefit from it they were supposed to receive, when they were sold this load of bullocks by the likes of Murray Rothbard, was theoretical even at the time it was embraced.

Here you see that this is not even exclusively an American phenomenon. Europeans right and left, first and foremost the British, borrow templates from the Americans – including losing templates.

Nowhere that deregulation will ever benefit the middle class will it be allowed. It will always only be in places where it benefits the ruling establishment.

The right is following an ideology while the establishment is simply throwing out whatever excuse they can come up with for pushing their brutal agenda.

We have witnessed Jews pivot back and forth between libertarian anarcho-capitalism and hardcore orthodox Marxism in the same sentence.

I just cannot even begin to imagine that in a nation as regulated as the British – the “loisenss m8” nation – the rightists are arguing in favor of one of the only areas that is not regulated, and which also affects them the most.

You don’t need to check the “early life” section to figure out what this is

In China, there is a total crisis, where private companies are organizing to remove content that they find to be politically inappropriate.

This is yet another reason it’s high time the US military opened fire on these chinks. They hate freedom.

Deutsche Welle:

China’s feminist movement has been facing another wave of crackdowns, with dozens of social media accounts run by feminist activists abruptly shut down in recent weeks.

The accounts have been removed from the popular micro-blogging site Weibo, as well as the online platform Douban, which claim the suspended accounts contain “extreme and ideological content.”

It all began with a post shared by prominent Chinese feminist activist Xiao Meili on Weibo in March. In the post, Xiao recounted how she tried to stop a customer from smoking inside a hotpot shop, but the man became agitated and threw a cup of hot liquid at her and her friends.

She uploaded the videos and wrote about the incident. While she reached a private settlement with the customer, she began to receive threatening messages on Weibo, with many including personal attacks.

She was even accused of being supportive of “Hong Kong independence,” which she blatantly denied. However, Weibo still decided to remove her account and online channel.

It sounds like there’s a mob of anti-feminists on these private social media outlets which try to enforce a doctrine which lines up with that of the state.

This… this is pure evil.

More feminists’ accounts removed

Following the removal of Xiao’s account, several Chinese feminists came to her defence on Weibo, and soon, their accounts were also removed from the social media platform.

On April 13, activist Liang Xiaowen issued a public statement, detailing how she has received hundreds of messages on Weibo that contain personal “vicious and anti-women” attacks.

“While I didn’t post any content that violated Weibo’s community rules, my account was removed after other users harassed and reported my account,” Liang wrote in the public statement.

Liang revealed she has since filed a civil lawsuit against Weibo, demanding the company restore her account on the platform.

Let me guess – the lawsuit isn’t going to go anywhere, because the Chinese government is going to say that private companies have a right to choose who they do business with.

In the name of freedom, it is time for the US military to start charging their lasers.

“More than 20 feminists’ Weibo accounts have been removed and the number keeps growing,” she wrote in an open letter.

“Douban has also shut down several feminist groups. The online space that Chinese women worked hard to create has been ruthlessly shut down.”

In a statement, Weibo claimed the accounts of Liang Xiaowen and other Chinese feminists were removed after the platform received complaints from users regarding posts containing “illegal and harmful information.”

Weibo reiterated that it is an open platform, which tolerates different opinions. However, it stressed that users should not incite antagonism between groups or promote a boycott culture.

‘No feminist-friendly social media platforms in China’

Lu Pin, a prominent Chinese feminist, has also been targeted by the latest crackdown.

She said that while it is hard to determine whether their accounts were removed because of orders from Beijing, it is clear that there are no feminist-friendly social media platforms in China.

“Even though these social media platforms’ operations and revenues rely heavily on female users, they still keep cracking down on feminist perspectives and discussions,” Lu told DW.

“While feminists won’t simply disappear following the latest crackdown, I believe the goal of this campaign is to make it harder for feminists to gather online,” she added.

 

She admits that it will now become harder for women to gather their voices when experiencing difficulties or injustice.

“This is one of the scary aspects of blocking feminist accounts on social media,” Lu said. “Even though most feminists know how to use the internet, the move will further weaken the feminist movement’s momentum in China.”

Wang Yaqiu, China researcher at Human Rights Watch, points out that the attack on feminism over the last few weeks shows “there are no enclaves of any kind of civil society activism” in China.

“Until very recently, you could still see vibrant discussion on women’s rights issues online in China,” Wang told DW.

“Now even that’s gone. I think it really shows there are no enclaves of any kind of civil society activism. It’s very sad.”

Private companies… using their power to deplatform ideas.

It’s one thing that the German media is reporting on this, but will Germany take it to the next level: will they launch a land invasion of China to enforce the values of free expression? 

Lu Pin said social media platforms in China believe the Chinese government thinks it’s necessary to remove Chinese feminists’ accounts.

“They are doing this out of their need to survive in China, and they don’t need to pay any price for doing so,” she told DW. “The social media platforms are siding with those in power, which is why they are willing to launch the crackdown.”

The government pressuring private companies, while the private companies themselves fall back on libertarian principles?

This is an outrage beyond any other outrage.

There is only one solution to this, and it is a ground invasion of China.

There has to be a regime change in China so as to allow unfettered free expression on privately owned social media companies.

This is the purest values of the Western world, it is who we are, and when other countries violate these principles – it’s curtains for them.

Just noticed Google has removed several conservative websites from search results (at least on my end, in the UK). RedState, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Human Events, and more – all like this for pages of results pic.twitter.com/v2PHFgZ3zY

We are aware of an issue with the site: command that may fail to show some or any indexed pages from a website. We are investigating this and any potentially related issues.

Google experienced a mysterious issue that excluded mostly right-wing content from search results.

RT:

Google excluded major conservative and alt-media outlets from its search results for hours, hiding hits for sites like Breitbart and RedState even in searches for the outlets’ names – only to mysteriously revert to normal later.

Conservative sites were in a panic Tuesday morning, reporting they seemed to have been blacklisted from Google. Articles and pages published by PJ Media, Daily Caller, The Blaze, and many other sites were absent even from searches for the publication name, replaced by links to Wikipedia and other sites talking about the outlet in question – usually negatively.

While most of the affected sites hailed from the right side of the political spectrum, leftist sites whose views don’t conform to prevailing orthodoxy also appeared to fall victim to the purge. Mediaite’s Charlie Nash posted a screenshot of a Google search for “MintPress News” that included no hits from the left-leaning antiwar outlet, while another commenter noted Occupy Democrats was MIA.

…

Perhaps realizing that simply returning the news sites to their rightful place in search results wouldn’t silence critics, Google later released a statement acknowledging “an issue that impacted some navigational and site: operator searches.” However, they denied any “particular sites or political ideologies” were targeted.

Project Veritas, one of the sites affected by the search blackout, interviewed a Google whistleblower last year who revealed the company has multiple “blacklists” for both YouTube and regular web search, one of which includes many of the sites that went missing on Tuesday.

…

As November’s elections loom, Google and other tech firms are likely scrambling to prevent a rerun of 2016. With 88 percent of US search engine market share, Google’s results will figure heavily in the information American voters can access in the next few months.

This “technical issue” is an awfully convenient way to momentarily turn off access to certain information at critical times, while maintaining plausible deniability.

It was likely a test run, both to test the technology, and to see how many people noticed it at all. In the very near future, entire parts of the internet are going to be turned off. (You might not know this, but if you type “Daily Stormer” into Google, it has 5 pages of lies about Andrew Anglin before it shows you the actual site. They’ve been restructuring the ability of people to access information for years now.)

One might assume it’s more a “test run” of how to more effectively interfere in the 2020 U.S. election than anything else. https://t.co/BHhGhi68ol

Who is going to investigate Google and the rest of these tech companies if they decide to pull something like this again?

It’s impressive how the media managed to keep the insane Russian Meddling narrative alive while preventing people from asking uncomfortable questions, like “but what about the tech companies that have total control over our information?“

Old news, but there is an extreme likelihood that this will happen again.

This guy had to close the last gun shop in San Francisco because the faggots were forcing him to send all information relating to purchases to the cops. That means if he didn’t close the store, the name, address, phone number, and what was purchased by anyone would be sent to the police.

Needless to say, that would drive down sales and people would not want to shop there.

It is highly unlikely that the Jews will make gun ownership illegal in America any time soon. They of course will eventually (unless something gets done at least, but most people are so lazy that they can’t even figure out how a bitcoin donation works, let alone go out and vote in the midterms), but it’s a while off.

It is much easier to simply make them extremely difficult to get through state laws and making it hard to find stores which sell them.

The state law option has many of the same roadblocks that federal law options do, so that leaves the second option.

By making it so stores which previously sold guns no longer sell them – or wont sell specific guns – and pressuring gun stores with the law, you can effectively ban them while making this “they’re private companies and can do whatever lol” argument the tech industry is using to ban free speech.
