Opening Insights: Shut Down by Big Tech
To suppress free speech is a double wrong.
It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.
FREDERICK DOUGLAS
The technology tools that many rely upon to conduct their daily lives, business and education have turned against them. Technology platforms are removing American access to freedom of speech at an alarming rate. Their power is such that any alternatives to their choke-hold on individuals are swiftly eliminated.
Prominent conservative voice Dan Bongino was censored by Twitter one time too many and is now going elsewhere to connect with his broad conservative audience.
The following article was published by The Post Millennial, a "reasonable alternative" to Canada's mainstream media. It was written by Mia Cathell, "a Boston University journalism student."
BREAKING: Twitter suspends prominent conservative Dan Bongino for sharing Trump's call to end violence
Informational Insights: "I hate communists..."
Prominent conservative and high-profile Parler investor Dan Bongino was locked out of his Twitter account for 12 hours after he posted President Donald Trump's call to end violence in the Capitol speech. This is the final straw for Bongino to leave the left-aligned platform for Parler permanently.
I'm posting this on behalf of Dan Bongino:
"I got locked out of Twitter for posting the Trump taped speech. As a result, I’m leaving the platform permanently for Parler. I’ll post my final tweet and message for twitter tomorrow when the 12 hour lockdown ends."— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 7, 2021Fox News host Mark Levin posted Bongino's response after the tech giant censored his tweet and booted the radio host temporarily from the site.
"I got locked out of Twitter for posting the Trump taped speech," Levin quoted Bongino. "As a result, I’m leaving the platform permanently for Parler. I’ll post my final tweet and message for twitter tomorrow when the 12 hour lockdown ends."
Bongino uploaded the notification that he received from Twitter directly to Parler. Admins alleged that Bongino violated the "Civic integrity policy" under the Twitter Rules.
"You may not use Twitter's services for the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections or other civic processes," Twitter told Bongino, adding that repeated violations of this policy may lead to a permanent suspension of his account. "This includes posting or sharing content that may suppress participation or mislead people about when, where, or how to participate in a civic process."

"Twitter is run by totalitarian communists. The Twitter communists hate free speech, and they really hate conservatives. I hate communists, and I'm not playing their games anymore. It's over," Bongino told The Post Millennial.
Bongino's eponymous website published an article about Trump's statement agreeing to an orderly transition of power on Jan. 20. The piece mentioned that Trump couldn't share his pledge because of the aforementioned suspension, which included the since-removed offensive video to provide context for the readers.
Merely tweeting out the story that also happened to include Trump's comments resulted in Bongino's lockdown. His tweet was captioned: "Twitter wouldn't let Trump post it himself."
"[A]nd apparently neither can we," wrote Bongino Report content manager Matt Palumbo. "This certainly wouldn’t have been a problem over on Parler."
Twitter first censored Trump's video statement calling for peace in Washington, after pro-Trump protesters stormed the Capitol building and clashed with federal forces Wednesday. Then Twitter deleted the president's message outright, pointing to his repeated claims about widespread election fraud in the recording. Facebook followed suit with its initial 24-hour ban now extended until the end of Trump's term in office.
All attempts to share the clip by direct message or retweet were swatted down by Twitter, only allowing users to quote tweet. The president's post itself was slapped with the warning label: "This Tweet can't be replied to, Retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence."
The pop-up explanation read: "We try to prevent a Tweet like this that otherwise breaks the Twitter Rules from reaching more people, so we have disabled most of the ways to engage with it. If you want to talk about it, you can still Retweet with comment."
Trump's departure from the White House can only mean an unprecedented wave of censorship on social media. Parler's homepage promises that content creators can "[s]peak freely and express yourself openly, without fear of being 'deplatformed' for your views."
Amid egregious election-related policing concerns, Republicans have shunned Twitter and flocked to Parler—an alternative free speech forum backed by Bongino. Parler saw nearly 1 million installations from Nov. 3 to Nov. 8, pushing an eye-catching total of 3.6 million.
In the wake of Election Week, Parler was the most downloaded free application in the country, surpassing TikTok, Zoom, and YouTube while soaring to the No. 1 spot in Apple's mobile app store and Google's Play Store at the time.

Possibilities for Consideration: Free Speech is Dead
The technology tools that many rely upon to conduct their daily lives, business and education have turned against them. Technology platforms are removing American access to freedom of speech at an alarming rate. Their power is such that any alternatives to their choke-hold on individuals are swiftly eliminated.
To win against the immense power behind the technology, internet and financial organizations in charge of our government and education institutions we must get smarter and do it together.
AwareComm® offers a platform that provides the resources and the guidance to meet this challenge.
It’s not just that we need a solution, in this new environment nobody will trust, everybody is angry, nobody listens, commerce stops, efficiency diminishes, nobody cares.
Our culture consists of perception, attitude, thinking and behavior and we have created a culture now rooted in distrust, fear and anger.
The following models illustrate the psychology of fear and control
being used to force America to its knees.
Whatever we do, however we do it, this becomes the basis for how we will build relationships at home, work, worship and play. These models will permeate all dimensions of our lives and must be reversed if our communities and our country are to survive.
The Real Solution: Founded in Spiritual Principles
A real solution, fully developed (tested, proven and paid for), is found in AwareComm's proprietary Adaptive Intelligence (AdI™) algorithm.
The AdI™ algorithm aligns with the intent of Pope Francis's call for a 'Good Algorithm,' to reverse the damage done by the irresponsible use of technology.
Rebuilding Community Commerce - - Rebuilding the Soul of a Community
AwareComm's AdI™ algorithm is available in a community Collaboration Laboratory (Co-Lab™) Research and ePublishing Institute, where people learn to take charge of their communities by transcending adversity to diversity and solidarity through the application of responsible commerce. Success is assured by applying the principles of Adaptive Intelligence to entrepreneurial thinking using socially responsible capitalism.
What comes from an established foundation of commerce rooted in spiritual principles and AdI™ is a new business model. This business model, for the application of Socially Responsible Capitalism, is our theme and driving inspiration.
A Co-Lab™ is the implementation mechanism of the result of 30+ years of field research.
Co-Labs™ create an environment conducive to learning, solidarity and change (old ideas are more quickly learned and new ideas are more quickly accepted and implemented).
Our Next Step
The AwareComm® Team is attracting partners in order to awaken in the people a desire for peace and solidarity as a way to fulfill their personal needs.
Through a careful blend of AI + BI + HI + SI the Co-Lab™ Research Institute has the correct balance of technology, methodology, human understanding, spiritual principles and data science to put us on the right track to individual social and cultural empowerment.
Due Diligence classes offer a deeper dive into the Co-Lab™ Research and ePublishing Institute to determine if this philosophy is effective for your community. You will learn:
