Hey guys, this one's a doozy! I thought this story was worthy of being told. I already feel better having written it all out.
But if long-winded diatribes aren't your cup of tea, I won't be offended if you skip this one. ngl though, it's got some juicy bits. I'd love to know how all of this jives with the experiences and observations of many of you out there.
On the Night of the Digital Long Knives, they came for me first. Before Trump was banned and before they Thanosed half of social media, they got me.
In the early hours of January 7, 2021, US Senator Tammy Duckworth emphatically declared in Congress that “reddit conspiracy theories” were in part to blame for the “violent insurrection” alleged to have occurred just hours earlier at the US Capitol.
No further clarification was provided as to which conspiracies from the popular social media site were responsible, nor how this conclusion was reached within hours of such an historically unprecedented and controversial event.
The administrators of reddit acted swiftly. The admins traditionally only “spring” into action when confronted with negative PR. Getting publicly called out in Congress after an alleged “coup” was about as high profile as it gets. Within hours, they removed and permanently banned the head moderator of the “subreddit” devoted to conspiracy theories…yours truly.
While the admins are actual employees of reddit, moderators are unpaid volunteers who focus on specific “sub”-reddits. Moderators are a crucial component of how the site functions. They hold no power outside their respective communities and are beholden to the whims of the admins. A case can be made that the sweeping censorship that reached a fever pitch in January was coordinated between rogue elements of multiple world governments and the Big Tech juggernaut. On reddit, I was one of many targeted in this technological purge.
I've done several "experiments" with reddit to try to gauge the level of censorship and their methods. There are certain topics that will unleash the full fury of the globalist's propaganda machine and they aren't always yhe topics that you might expect. For example, any discussion of banning political contributions is rabidly attacked. Why? This is how the globalists corrupted our constitutional republic.
Another example was Harry Markopolos and his Madoff testimony in 2008. Harry was complete bullshit and was used to portray the SEC as bumblers instead of the corrupted, globalist sockpuppets that gleefully allowed the Greenspan bubble to be deliberately blown. In his made-for-TV testimony, he fucked up within the first 60 seconds and incorrectly described Madoff's allegedly option strategy. It was a mistake that nobody who understood anything about options would make. I thought it might have been nerves, but I downloaded the the transcript from the Congressional committee's website and, sure enough, the error was there, too. Within 6 hours the online transcript had been edited to change the mistake at both the committee's website and the WaPo. I posted links to both versions on reddit and they were removed, which was also the case at every social media site I posted on.
I suspect that reddit has been controlled opposition for longer than we imagine.
very interesting points...deserve its own thread!
