This is a blockchain based blog. The benefit is that it uses decentralized technology to store its contents. It is far more censorship resistant than traditional social media type platforms like Quora. On October 25, 2024, after eight years of writing, tens of thousands of posts, 124 million views, and 43,147 followers, Quora “moderation” banned me under false pretenses and nuked all of my answers. Eight years of work-- some of it my best writing--gone. Thankfully I have nearly all of the content backed up. But these aren’t online anymore. It was a punch to the gut. In order to avoid this happening again, I plan on putting some of my work here.
My main venue is Substack (for now). Substack is also centralized but it has a very strong commitment to freedom of expression. My Substack has over 300+ entries. I plan on backing up some of my Substack articles on this blog and publishing some writing here alone because there is always a chance that Substack may turn to the Dark Side and start censoring and deplatforming. The temperature of censorship at Substack is something that I will continue to monitor.
I had been writing on Medium as well, but it banned me from publishing new articles several months ago after I wrote a piece that merely discussed White Supremacy but actually criticized it and explicitly condemned it, but that was enough to get me permanently suspended. I appealed but nothing came of it. Medium is also infested with glowies, but not as bad as Quora. Quora is a literal propaganda platform for NATO and Hasbara propagandists. One of the reasons is because Quora is primarily international. Only 25% of its users are Americans. It caters to an intellectual audience that is English-speaking. It is used to test propaganda narratives before they are rolled out in local markets. Quora’s “influencers” are astroturf. They use Operation Earnest Voice software to create DeepFake profiles and VPN’s to appear in different locations. Some have superuser privileges. The algorithm is juiced to boost them, and fake bots upvote their contents. This is particularly true for one of the users named “Claire Jordan.” After she wrote a smear piece about me two years ago, I found dozens of fake bots upvoting her hit pieces against me.
One of the worst things for the Internet was the centralization of platforms and the corporate “walled garden” models which sprang up from these. It didn’t take long before the US Deep State became painfully enmeshed with Big Tech to impose brutal censorship and deplatform people who challenged their propaganda narratives. This became very serious after Trump won in 2016 and Brexit became a reality. The Ghouls-Based Order freaked out and determined that the freedom of speech is a “national security threat” and a “threat to democracy.” How ironic.
There are glowies on Quora who spend their time searching for those who challenge the propaganda and lies spread by the US propagandists and their buddies in the Mockingbird Media. They post the names of these profiles and then people collaborate to mass report them and get them banned. But what is most sad about these people is how utterly soulless they are. They know damn well they are lying about everything and they don’t care. They won’t concede even the most basic and obvious lies, such as the assassination of JFK involving more than one shooter. They are professional gaslighters and virtue signalers. And they are so smug and condescending about it. These glowies are the worst people in the world. They are cynical as fuck, too. They also create profiles on Reddit and shit on you there, too. Morality and compassion play no part in their internal lives, yet they will condemn you day and night for being an “authoritarian” for supporting Stalin. They don’t do nuance or subtlety, either. When they consider it time to poison-the-well against me, they always send dozens and dozens of profiles to mob me. They have one of their fake influencers write a hit piece, usually reiterating lies about how I “went crypto cuckoo” or “insane with paranoia after achieving Quora fame” or “because I supported Putin (apparently supporting Russia makes you crazy), and then their profiles go on the attack in the comments section. The bots go bonkers with the upvoting in order to give the false appearance of consensus.
What is very twisted is how morally weak people are. Some legitimate users will jump in on the bullying just to look cool and edgy for their “friends.” Some people don’t mature past 4th grade, apparently. It is so strange to me that my government is willing to spend its resources focusing on a disabled 47 year old father of three just because he wrote about the war in Ukraine and disrupted a few narratives. But this is the same government that will send a police unit with automatic rifles to execute a five hour search warrant to kidnap someone’s rescue raccoon and orphaned pet squirrel so they can be murdered. The FBI did over 80,000+ SWAT raids last year. Most of them could have been done peacefully but they weren’t. That’s because the purpose was to intimidate and terrorize people and ensure their neighbors got the message “don’t fuck with Big Brother USA.”
In the future, people who value their freedom are going to need to take countermeasures against increased censorship and deplatforming, just as people have needed to use countermeasures to resist mass surveillance and encryption. There was a battle over encryption in the 90’s. Thankfully the side of freedom won. Now we can use encryption tools to ensure the government doesn’t stick its goddamn pig snout in our conversations using end-to-end encryption. Counting on the government to police itself and for people to push back against this enough to stop it is not realistic. We have just watched a horrific genocide in Gaza that the US and Israel are committing and nobody is stopping them. So don’t hold your breath about privacy laws being enacted. In fact, the EU is now trying to ban Tik Tok and Twitter because they aren’t censored enough. It is highly likely we will have the US and Israel go to war with Iran. This means even more censorship, because the live-streamed genocide has spoiled the world’s opinion of Israel. What is sick is that Zionists openly call for genocide on Twitter and Quora and nothing happens to them. They can post photos of dead Palestinian kids with laughing emojis and there are no consequences. Yet I call out the Jews but don’t call for violence and I get banned. And when I mention this, it is considered a “right wing anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.” OK. All those “impotent, powerless Jews” got me shitcanned in no time, flat.
Adam D’Angelo should be ashamed of himself. He let this happen to me on Quora and what happened to me goes against the founding vision of Quora. He sits on the board of trustees for OpenAI despite the scumbag moves made by Sam Altman to cash in despite the OpenAI foundation explicitly designed as a non-profit. Ghouls like Larry Summers were brought on, anticipating a major cash-out in the future. D’Angelo was the only original board member who didn’t leave in protest due to Altman’s bullshit. It’s not like D’Angelo needs the money, either, because he was a big early investor in Facebook and made a mountain of money from doing that. He also knows that the glowies were targeting me at Quora two years ago and harassing me. He knows my life was destroyed and that I am not hallucinating what happened to me, but he doesn’t give a shit. As long as he keeps getting the money who cares, right? Scumbag let all of my answers get deleted just because I called out the Jews and Israel for its genocide? Have you no shame, sir?
