Hey Ryan,

Not surprising that YouTube channels are going dark but having your official site go down is another level of censorship. Hopefully, you get it back up soon brother. Glad you've been putting out your content on multiple platforms though - decentralization.

I hope people can start to see the importance of decentralized platforms like DTube - Steemit - Bitchute - etc.

The Intro was awesome - the official narrative being blasted across the nation as 'local 'news'.

I'm not a fan of AJ either, but I support free speech and non-censorship.

Resteeming!

@tlavagabond My indie media support PDF (http://bit.ly/2EbVVlU) on Google Drive, which contains active links for everything shown in it, directs the click on TLAV to this Steemit account. I’ll leave that link as it is for the time being, because your contact platforms and other support info are contained in each Steemit article, and these pieces will stay in place and can hopefully earn you a little return for your continued efforts and high quality. Good luck to you all!

I've been on steemit for 2 years and barely know how to use it, I will try and make it my go to instead of you tube. D tube and D live are both giving me fits which made me stop uploading on them... sigh.

I enjoy listening to your audio podcast version, which also seems to be not updating the last few days! ughhhhh...

This is just an idea, Here is action we could take:

YouTube and Facebook makes money from advertising so we should pick a day of the week were we all don't go to YouTube or Facebook for say 2 hours... this will really hurt them and they will get the message.

Say every Tuesday from 8-10pm which is probably Prime Time. if we the people did this on.. say Tuesday this week and Wednesday the Next and so forth this would give them a very strong message that we mean business.

Corporations paying for Advertising wont like it one bit. We could create art that people could put on their website saying they support this kind of Boycott like the art we put up for Net Neutrality it will take a little time but i think it would catch on... Since Google and Facebook are private corporations who sold us out to the government we could fight back in this way.

That's a great idea, and a good start.

I'm in.

Thanks!

Take it a step farther and stop using them as much as possible or entirely.

To all the video producers out there!

I have made a personal vow to stop using themtube. Maybe that's why your view counts are falling because people are moving to @steemit, @dtube and @dlive. Come on over I will support you.

As for facefart, it's actually blocked on my personal computers. I've never used it on purpose and never will.

Its sheeple like you that are the problem❗️Peaceful revolution is a contradiction in terms , and very unrealistic . Its fucking candyland . No sane law abiding citizen wants violence . But the revolutionary war wasn’t peaceful , and it was very necessary . We have the constitutional right to revolt and to overthrow any government not doing for its people . To call for a peaceful revolution is great . Its safe . But for those of us to took an oath to protect and defend the constitution, the republic , and the bill of rights against all enemies . Both foreign and domestic ‼️ We don’t have it so easy . We are the tip of the spear . And I don’t think its smart of you to be telling other Americans to stand down and be unprepared in the case of a stormtrooper boot stomping freedom taking event . What are you retarded⁉️ Read your fucking constitution ❗️You neither have to be making apologies about talking about it like some panic stricken comrade behind the iron curtain ⁉️ GEEEZ 🤦‍♂️ The first thing about being an American is have some BALLS❗️Stand your ground . Always question authority . NEVER be afraid of the government . And always let them know that you’ll remove them if they betray the nations trust . And they have , because two planes didn’t knock down three skyscrapers on 9/11 . So anyone in the federal criminal government sticking to the official story is guilty of HIGH TREASON‼️TRY TO GET THAT . We don’t have to bow to them you paper tiger 🐯 Freedom isn’t free . Your not going to get any real change unless you work for it you lazy slug . Get your flak jacket cuz I think your about to become a war corespondent .

All 3 WTC buildings collapsed at damn near Free Fall speed. You can see it in the videos. You can feelit in your bones, you can tell just from your PERSONAL experience throwing a ball up in the air and catching it, that they fell at the speed of gravity. You can also do the math yourself.

You can prove that one for yourself without anyone else's help. And its physics, not opinion, speculation, theory or conjecture.

The "Laws of Physics" are called laws for a reason.

He answered what is 3*3 correctly !

You are on point in more ways than one. Both correct in your understanding of the import of censorship and disinformation, and at the forefront of the struggle.

Thanks!

Looks like your web site (http://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/) is back up. Try to get to the bottom of this issue. Your domain is YOURS and the social media owners can't censor it. ICANN and the domain host you use control domains. Talk to your domain host about the loss of service. Maybe something happened to the server.

Something to keep in mind is that Alex Jones, in addition to the deplatforming, started getting calls from his credit cards and he was prevented from buying airline tickets. It's starting to look like Revelation 13:17 unfolding...no one buying or selling without the mark of the beast...

Alex Jones On Michael Savage - Full Show August 7th 2018 (AUDIO)

With the removal of Net Neutrality, even your (anyone's) ISP provided 'homepage' website could be decommissioned by your ISP. Even your internet service provider can divert your messaged to recipient spam folders. Internet search apps, like Google can hide results from you or hide your site as results in other people's searches. You can thank the Trump administration for all this. What perplexes me is the potential revenue loss that social media owners, domain hosts, internet service provides are risking when they start censoring the hand that feeds them, so to speak. For sure, if your domain host is intentionally taking your domain offline, you should move to another host. If your internet service provider is sending your messages to the round bin, because they don't like what you say in your PRIVATE messages, it's times to find another internet service provider. And, I think we all need to wean off the big social media platforms.

Jones started talking about the purge at the same time as Sen. Mark Warner’s Memo calling for the government to regulate the Internet was leaked. Follow this link for info and a link.

So far as I know Net Neutrality only applied to ISP's, not domain hosts, so I don't see what difference it would have made.

Should have said 'thanks', so thank you. I fixed that line.

You're right. Only access to ISP-provided 'homepage' websites, the sort bundled along with email and internet access, could be cancelled by the ISP/web host. The ISP is now entitled to block services. The company to watch is Verizon. They don't offer web hosting to new customers, but they still have existing customers using their domain hosting service. I wonder if they'll give those customers the boot. I don't know if non-ISP web hosts have any restrictions against 'unreasonable discrimination'. That was one of the main protections in the Open Internet (Net Neutrality) Order.

Section from the revised Open Internet Order - Mar 12, 2015

  1. In December 2010, the Commission adopted the Open Internet Order,74 a codification of the policy principles contained in the Internet Policy Statement. The Open Internet Order was based on broadly accepted Internet norms and the Commission’s long regulatory experience in preserving open and dynamic communications networks.75 The Order adoptedthree fundamental rules governing Internet service providers: (1) noblocking; (2) no unreasonable discrimination; and (3) transparency.76 The noblocking rule and no-unreasonable discrimination rules prevented broadband service providers from deliberately interfering with consumers’ access to lawful content, applications, and services, while the transparency rule promoted informed consumer choice by requiring disclosure by service providers of critical information relating to network management practices, performance, and terms of service.77

FCC Approves Net Neutrality Rules For 'Open Internet' - February 26, 2015
Welcoming Thursday's news, the ACLU's legislative counsel Gabe Rottman says:
"This is a victory for free speech, plain and simple. Americans use the Internet not just to work and play, but to discuss politics and learn about the world around them. The FCC has a critical role to play in protecting citizens' ability to see what they want and say what they want online, without interference. Title II provides the firmest possible foundation for such protections. We are still sifting through the full details of the new rules, but the main point is that the Internet, the primary place where Americans exercise their right to free expression, remains open to all voices and points of view."

These are the FCC's full rules for protecting net neutrality - Mar 12, 2015
The order focuses on three specific rules for internet service: no blocking, no throttling, and no paid prioritization. "A person engaged in the provision of broadband internet access service, insofar as such person is so engaged, shall not impair or degrade lawful internet traffic on the basis of internet content, application, or service, or use of a non-harmful device, subject to reasonable network management," the order states, while outlining its rules against throttling. For paid prioritization, the order explains the practice as:
"Paid prioritization" refers to the management of a broadband provider’s network to directly or indirectly favor some traffic over other traffic, including through use of techniques such as traffic shaping, prioritization, resource reservation, or other forms of preferential traffic management, either (a) in exchange for consideration (monetary or otherwise) from a third party, or (b) to benefit an affiliated entity

The FCC has reversed a 2015 rule that could change how you access and pay for internet service - 14 Dec 2017
Rosenworcel said ISPs will get the power to block websites, throttle content and encourage pay-for-play arrangements with partners while limiting others to "a slow and bumpy road." "Know this: They have the technical ability and business incentive to discriminate and manipulate your internet traffic, and now this agency gives them the legal green light to go ahead and do so.
