Wonderfully articulated.

I said only a month ago that Sub-stack was the last bastion of free speech. And now the fascists are attacking it.

keep ranting, Bert. You speak eloquently for many of us.

Thank you so much, you kind words and support keep me going. Lew Rockwell is an old veteran at fighting these control freaks that try to break our spirit and subdue us.

"history shows that censorship is most potently used by the powerful to silence the powerless"

As a German born Citizen that fights this new Fascism especially Elon Musk & the WEF I commend all that stand up.

Richard Branson and Elon Musk both have taken my technology called it the "Hyperloop" and lied to the world.

Yet for over 15 years I have been deplatformed and thrown out of Linkedin Facbook Twitter even Bitchute and other platforms because I dare to claim what is rightfully mine.

Only thanks to Substack I am able to tell my story.

This is what substack is for...

To counter the Lies of the Elite with Truth.

OK , so sometimes I’m a little slow on picking up on the obvious.

It just occurred to me that vapid dim bulbs such as Katz the rest of his censorship cabal cronies are holding their breaths and stomping their feet because a club which no one forced them to join and in which no one is forcing them to stay won’t kowtow to their demands. I say Substack should send these miscreant juveniles to their rooms without dinner until they say that they’re sorry and start doing their own laundry.

I like that idea.

Katz has painted himself into a corner on this issue. Here is how this will play out. He’ll post a story about how, after some deep soul searching, he has decided to remain on Substack because he believes the best way to fight against Nazis is to speak out against them on this platform. Thereby de facto acknowledging that those that opposed his demands for censorship were, in fact, right all along when they contended that the best way to combat speech we abhor is not to ban that speech but to counter it with speech we adore.

Perhaps he has learned his lesson and will seek common ground with others.....and then I woke up.

Yeah I got into a lengthy back and forth comment exchange with him late last night/early this morning. He engages in deflections ad nauseam and eventually devolves into ad hominem attacks. But he can’t escape the fact that he’s whining about a platform that no one forced him to join and on which no one is forcing him to remain. Not the brightest bulb in the circuit.

Your bottom line is the best. Nobody forced him on Substack or to read anything he did not like.

That sums it up quite well. The left always eats it's own, with the promise that you will be eaten last if you comply.

There is an old movie called Angel Heart where all of these people get in bed with "Lew Cipher " and in the end they all meet horrible fates. It has Di Niro before he went crazy woke and Mickey Rourke before all of his failed plastic surgeries. It is worth a watch.
