Does Parler have a downloadable APK file for "sideloading" the app?  (bypassing Google Play)  I couldn't find one.

How is his not a monopoly/antitrust type of move?
Granted, our current legal system overlords wouldn't rule against it.

I'm starting to feel like this week is the watershed moment that will mark the beginning the end of he Republic as we knew it.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Agreed.

All the noise of "Trump crossing the Rubicon".  He had a rally,  riled up a bunch of useful idiots and left us holding the bag.  And now the establishment would vote for full confiscation of all guns, "reparations", and re-education camps to avoid being painted with the same brush.

Trump might be pussed out ( and I never thought he wouldn't),  but the die is most certainly cast for the rest of us.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

They would do that anyway even without this.


Everyone in Washington cares only about power and money. Long as they can pass laws and bills  with impunity to give themselves such they all will. Throwing us a bone on stuff like gun laws and such is just to buy our votes and they no longer have to worry about votes.

 I did find an APK file for Parler, but not on Parler's website.  They need to host it themselves -- although I wonder who their ISP is?  (I suspect the ISP will jump on the bandwagon and shut them down.)

Trump is saying he will make his own site.

You can really start to feel the clench of tyranny now huh? And it's not coming from Government per se, in fact Government and Law is being bypassed to achieve that authoritarianism. We are headed into a neo feudal global society.

There's now video of an identified progressive activist encouraging people to storm the Capitol. Snippet for those who can't read the article:

Quote
John Sullivan, videographer and founder of “a group for racial justice and police reform,” posted a video on YouTube on Jan. 7 that shows him entering the Capitol building in Washington with a group of Trump supporters and possibly others on the previous day. He’s heard on video encouraging others and convincing Capitol police to let the trespassers through at several impasses. The video also reveals further details about the situation that led to the death of Ashley Babbitt, an Air Force veteran shot inside the building by Capitol Police.

Looks like there is a big push for action against Domestic Terrorism.

Shutting down or punishing Epoch Times, Newsmax, OAN and even Fox was mentioned in one article.

Is the word "*let's not go there*" still off limits? There are so many *let's not go there* on the so called right, spits, it would take a new thread to list them all. The submissive nature of the American "right" is disgusting. It's almost as if they enjoy the humiliation. They are fakes, not of the right at all.




For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Anything they do that they claim is retaliation for the “insurrection” they were gonna do anyway. That’s the cold hard truth.

The legislation has been drawn up and sitting in a file waiting on complete control to implement.

What do dissidents do when they can't have DNS?

Which is of course, "raht wing terrorists", of the sort that couldn't fill an Arby's and are half fed infiltrators anyway.

This.  Where do we go when the internet is off limits?  Private oldschool BBS?

Break out the phone modems. If you live where landlines still exist.

I'm almost serious, because if what we're seeing are allowable and popular actions, then when do the ISPs get involved? And what happens when ISPs are blocked from their connections?

landline speeds just suck.  Oh, you'll still have IP addresses, just not tied to a DNS name.  We're all going to end up on the dorkweb (sic) with the pedos and the druggies and the hackers and (you just watch) the Christians.

I'm also thinking, a lot of hand to hand on a USB stick.

They won't need to go jackboot on us, rounding us up.

They will just keep denying us access to things one by one.

Gun owners refusing to comply with voluntary buy backs will be denied bank accounts, credit and access to health care. They will freeze your retirement accounts. Non-compliant gun owners will be unemployable.

We will either submit to survive or be denied everything needed to live modern life.

They have plenty of time. No hurry.

Who you going to go out and shoot or go to war with?
