Will Your Small Town Survive?

Citizen journalist Ethan Faulkner joins me to expose the quiet dismantling of small-town America. As local businesses vanish, corporate giants move in, reshaping communities and consolidating economic power.

We break down what’s happening on the ground, why mom-and-pop shops are being pushed out, and what this trend means for the future of American independence and self-sufficiency. Here’s more from Seth Holehouse on Man in America.

How Much Must Google Shed?

The U.S. Department of Justice wants to force Google to sell off Chrome — its browser — and ban Google from starting up a new browser for a period of five years.  This is on account of Google’s monopolistic practices and abuses of power.

Google’s actions have allegedly led to the shutdown of 90% of blogs, decimating traffic and revenue for content creators through its monopoly power. Google is accused of shadow banning content creators, restricting their traffic and visibility to maintain market dominance.

The proposal suggests allowing content creators to opt out of Google using their work to train its large language model AI. Google may be required to halt anti-competitive payments to distributors like Apple and be prohibited from acquiring interests in search rivals.Let’s hope the incoming Trump administration also forces Google to split off YouTube. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Google To Be Broken Up?

This past summer, federal judge Ahmit Mehta ruled that Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, had illegally monopolized the search engine market. Now, the judge and U.S. Department of Justice are weighing options for how Google can rectify that situation.

One of the key options being pushed by state attorney generals who originally filed suit against Google would require the company to sell off parts of its business, much as AT & T was forced to dismantle its operating structure in 1984.

Mehta isn’t expected to decide how the restructuring will be done until a second trial, set to begin in April 2025. Here, The Quartering examines the options and wonders aloud which divisions Google might relinquish.

Could YouTube be spun off? How about Google’s Chrome browser? The Android operating system? How about components of the Google Play Store? There are many options and variables, meaning this upcoming trial will likely be just as heated, and just as financially consequential, as the original trial and verdict.

The Myth Of Monopolies

From the time of the robber barons, we’ve debated what to do about monopolies. Should we break them up? Should we heavily tax them? How do we get control of our own economy and ensure the safe and sure delivery of goods and services? Here’s another incisive rant from RazorFist.

Bloodlines Of Power

This video is about the powerful families of industry and banking who shaped the 21st century. The first segment about the Rockefeller’s and the Rockefeller Foundation is taken straight from my book, The Deep State Encyclopedia, which is now available for purchase (Release day March 7th)!

What’s Next In Big Tech?

Every year Big Tech and Media moguls gather in Sun Valley to roll out censorship campaigns or build their monopolies. Not many people pay attention to the meetings, but Mark Dice gives them a closer look.

Rich And Poor Get Richer

Everywhere people trash capitalism. It’s become the punching bag of choice because people don’t understand it. Popular refrains are: The rich always get richer, or capitalism funnels all the money to the top one percent.

Appearing on the John Stossel podcast, economist Dan Mitchell sets the record straight and busts the ridiculous ideas about rich entrepreneurs, income inequality and monopolies. Says Mitchell, “The rich get richer in a capitalist society, but guess what? The rest of us get richer as well.” Here more with Stossel and Mitchell.

Why Do You Censor Us?

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, slams Twitter and Facebook during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on election suppression. Both Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey got ripped for censoring, berating, blocking and harassing conservatives and Christians. We would have gone even further than Cruz. It’s time both these social media companies paid a heavy price for violating Americans’ civil rights. More from Fox News.

ARVE error: need id and provider

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, also made a big splash on Tuesday, uncovering secretive Facebook content monitoring. This company, just like Twitter, needs to be subjected to anti-trust legislation so their monopolies are broken up. They are not fair and objective, but biased on behalf of Leftists. So long as they hold powerful monopolies, America’s freedoms are in danger. More from Fox News.

There was a lot of things revealed today in the Senate Judiciary Committee and most importantly we found out that Facebook is tracking its users even when they are not on Facebook. The program is called Centra. More from The Quartering.

Punished For Wrong Think

If you were wondering why we haven’t been running videos from Vincent James of The Red Elephants, the answer is simple. He’s the latest YouTube content creator to get slapped around by the censors behind that corpulent platform.  James got branded for wrong think and placed in a “time-out” for five days, unable to upload any new videos.

This is blatant political shenanigans by YouTube. They never censor Liberal or Leftist commentators, only conservatives and Christians. Given their biased platform, Leftists radicals like The Young Turks can go wild as they want, while conservatives have to watch every word they use, or else face the axe.

It’s YouTube and Google that need to be punished. President Donald Trump and the Federal Trade Commission shouldn’t waste any more time. Breaks up these evil monsters: subjugate YouTube and Google to anti-trust action!

I Know How We Can Hurt Them

Amazing Polly offers her suggestion on how to stop the Globalist parade. Just drop your smart phones. Don’t give the Globalists the means to track your whereabouts. Turn off the smart phones, and see how quickly they react.

Do you think George Soros and the Koch Brothers — some of the better known Globalist assholes — would get the picture? Wonder if they would offer us free smart phones, just to maintain their charade?

As long as we’re thumbing our noses at the Globalists, we can also start using cash again. Maybe have a credit card as a backup, but try to use it as sparingly as possible.

Not only the Koch Brothers and Soros, but all of the Globalist pigs are starting to come together to attack free speech. Styxhexenhammer666 says Mark Zuckerberg, Patreon and Mozilla have all joined the League of Super Villains along with the evil Soros and Koch Brothers.

Bill Whittle gives us three reasons to break up social media, starting with the YouTube, Google and Facebook, but including any other companies that use algorithms to suppress free speech. This is not merely the revenge of the Right over demonetization. Bias without consent, practical monopoly status, and the distinction between carriers and publishers all lead to the conclusion that even conservatives should cheer the dissolution of these “private” businesses.
