“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
As we have been repeatedly warned – even by the VERY ENEMIES who are attacking us (i.e., KlauSS “Hog-Jowls” SSchwab and the WEFFEN SS), there was going to be a “cyber war” this summer – obviously timed to deal with the “fall” of the FAKE ELECTION and the CHINA VIRUS.
Thus, between the CHINAZIS and the EUNAZIS, plus the BIDENAZIS and assorted American PROGZIS, to say nothing of the GLOBONAZIS, we have a bunch of people ready to attack us.
While I try not to give away too much potentially useful (to THEM) strategic information about what is going on, it has become obvious that various forces want to make life rough for the commenters on this site.
The attack on our site include attacks on our server (and service) directly, on the people who are commenting on or viewing the site, AND on the hosting company itself.
The attack on the hosting company has been particularly insidious.
If our hosting company (who I refer to as “COUGH-COUGH.com”) can be brought down, several patriot sites will fall, including one of the most important players of all, GAB.
There has been much back-and-forth in this war. Both I and our hosts have been forced to take a variety of evasive actions over the summer.
I have never, in the entire history of this site, had to be so restrictive in terms of registrations (which must now be done MANUALLY) and user features (which had to be turned off for the non-registered users), as I have in the last few months.
And yet, despite all those measures, we just experienced one of our most serious attacks yet, locking many people out of the site, and attempting some really NASTY “get the users to turn off security” attacks, so that ANY of our registered users (and especially our authors) might get spoofed.
They are desperate, and they are persistent.
Now – with ALL of that stuff going on in MY world (remember 60,000 “Russian” phony registrations?), there is now a sustained and multifaceted attack on our hosting company, trying to distract them from the coming AUDIT ATTACKS (in my opinion).
This attack on the hosting company is a threat to ALL sites hosted by them, but most of all it is a threat to the honorable name and reputation of that company. That’s how the other side works. They are DESTROYING what they cannot legislate out of existence.
Our hosts are grateful for the support and prayers of their customers, as they, even in their time of trial, are praying for us. Thus, I ask all of you, to say a quick prayer for our hosting company.
We continue to use The U Tree as a backup, and it is functioning well in that regard. Please feel free to assemble there and to CARRY ON.
Simply carrying on is perhaps the greatest thing you can do to defeat the ChiNazi menace and the WEFFEN SS. Make their attacks pointless in the end. If you attack them TWICE AS HARD for sending you to The U Tree, then you have just invalidated all their work to get you there.
Be of good cheer, live your best life, and fight your best fight. Fear not an enemy without God.
We not only have something they don’t – we wish our treasure to be theirs as well.
Torba Fights Back Against German Censorship, Refuses To Block Access To Gab Or Implement Speech Regulations
“Why should we block an entire country from accessing Gab because their government is sending us fines we won’t pay and veiled legal threats that mean nothing to Gab as a US corporation?”
Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab, has declared that he will neither restrict German IP addresses from his accessing his site, nor implement German censorship regulations, following a demand from the country’s government.
Andrew Torba had initially thought he would go along with the much more practical route of blocking German IP addresses. I was OK with that…. kind of….. but it BOTHERED ME.
Evidently, it bothered Torba, too. Enough that he changed his mind.
HALLELUJAH!!!
This is EXACTLY how to take a stand against GLOBONAZIS.
It is VERY instructive to read Andrew Torba’s open letter on his decision.
Please give that a click, although I am reproducing the letter here in its entirety for this site’s historical records.
This week we received a huge packet of documents with fines and legal threats from the nation state of Germany. Gab is refusing, and has refused for many years, to comply with the German Network Enforcement Act. Gab is a US company and as such we are under zero obligation to obey foreign laws from tyrannical governments.
For those unfamiliar, the Network Enforcement Act is a draconian German law aimed at combatting “fake news” on social networking websites. “Fake news” is of course, whatever the German Government says it is.
For example this week Facebook deleted 150 accounts belonging to an anti-lockdown movement in Germany, likely at the behest of the German government under the Network Enforcement Act.
Because of Gab’s unwillingness to participate in State-mandated censorship of free speech, the German government is now coming after our bootstrapped tech startup with heavy fines and other legal action.
Gab is not a lawless website. We work diligently to stop and prevent illegal activity from taking place on our platform. We have great relationships with many foreign countries who understand and respect our position on free speech and appreciate our zero tolerance for criminal activity. The German government isn’t concerned about any actual criminal activity, they are concerned with Thought Criminals who dare to dissent against their globalist regime.
According to our legal team, who has been working with us on this issue for several months, we have three choices.
Obey German censorship laws and start censoring content that the German Government doesn’t like (this is not going to happen)
Disobey German censorship laws and pick a fight with the nation state of Germany (I likely wouldn’t ever be able to leave the US again, they would come at us from every possible angle through state-sponsored deplatforming, heavy fines, they would possibly leverage contacts in the Biden Admin to come after Gab in other ways, and Lord knows what else.)
Temporarily stop providing this service in Germany by blocking German IPs.
I hate everything about these choices, which is why we went public with this information to gather feedback and consensus from our community on the topic.
The overwhelming majority of people have been very supportive of the third option. Our lawyers are suggesting this option. Our community is suggesting this option. I’ve had many people email me and reach out privately to say that this is our best course of action. We seem to have a consensus.
Yet it doesn’t sit right with me.
Ultimately as the CEO of Gab I alone need to make this decision. These are the types of decisions that define a man and make history. If we block German IPs to appease the German government that sets a precedent that other countries will want to follow. We are not IP blocking ourselves into a corner here. If the German government wants to stop German IPs from accessing Gab they can block us themselves.
Why should we block an entire country from accessing Gab because their government is sending us fines we won’t pay and veiled legal threats that mean nothing to Gab as a US corporation? I won’t be able to travel to Europe anyway because I’m not getting injected with an experimental substance. On the bright side I now have a huge stack of kindling paper for my wood stove this winter.
The reality is the German government has zero authority or jurisdiction over how we operate Gab. We have no corporate entity in Germany, we have no employees in Germany, and we are not German citizens. We are Americans.
In America you play by our rules, we don’t play by yours. Germany is a guest in our community and they will respect our values and way of doing things, not the other way around. I have nothing but love for the German people and they too deserve the fundamental human right to speak freely on the internet.
Our mission is to defend free speech online for all people, everywhere. Including in Germany. We will continue to do that, regardless of any threats from foreign governments. If we bow to Germany today, what’s to stop us from bowing to literal tyrants, such as those in Russia (like Google and Apple did just last week) or China (as Apple has done for years)?
In matters pertaining to serious crime, German police forces already know how to reach us, as indeed they have done many times in the past. We will continue to respond to those requests and provide prompt assistance to those police forces on a voluntary basis. What we will not do is restrict access to, or remove, content which is legal in the United States on or from servers in the United States.
As I write this today is the day the American Constitution was signed over 234 years ago. We must stand up now to defend it and fight for the freedoms enshrined in it, which come from God, for all nations.
I’m not sure what will come of this decision, but I will not make an important choice like this from a position of fear. I leave the outcomes of this decision in the hands of God Almighty and I pray that the German people will take back their country and freedoms very soon.
Until then: wir werden nicht nachgeben, “Nuts!”. (we will not comply, Nuts!)
This is the nature of true Christianity – as this priest describes in a too-long and badly titled video (talk about Fatima is less than a minute at the end), which nonetheless makes a FANTASTIC point near the beginning.
(H/T Gudthots)
Christ without the cross is NOT Christianity – it’s what SATAN offers as a cowardly substitute.
So we are going to have to stand up, and it will mean CONTACT WITH THE ENEMY.
The REEEEE you are about to hear are Apple employees being cut loose when WOKE goes BROKE.
TL;DR – Apple is definitely full steam ahead on “client side user photo analysis and reporting”, and has issued an evasive, sneakily worded denial of concerns about expansions of surveillance, as it rushes the new software into place.
Thanks to Cthulhu, we were warned EARLY about Apple’s surveillance plans. Sounds very innocent, right? I will explain exactly why this is not. This is INCIPIENT POLITICAL SPYING AND PRETEXT FOR ARREST. “But it’s for the CHILDREN!” You remember the last people on the left who used that line to “save children”? THEY’RE BACK. Apple …
It’s a very good thing I didn’t wait to start checking off “DONE” items on my “GTFO” action list, because Apple just confirmed my suspicions that they are NOT backing down, and moreover that there is trouble ahead.
Reading carefully as only a BURNED CHUMP can, it is very clear that Apple is saying WITHOUT SAYING IN PLAIN WORDS that they won’t concede to government surveillance demands that they themselves OPPOSE.
ANALOGY: “We’re just friends [but if he asks me to run off, I will do it in a heartbeat].”
Apple is not speaking from the heart here, and TRUST is GONE.
You know what I’m saying? There are any number of WORDFARE WAYS for Apple to renege on not allowing surveillance here, after they have designed, implemented, and put into place the KNOWING MECHANISM for such reneging on privacy.
I think everybody who is not satisfied with Apple’s message here is seeing the exact same thing that I am seeing.
Apple IS reserving the right to not just allow but implement government and contractor surveillance with which it agrees.
Do I HAVE to repeat the picture?
Let’s do it anyway.
Nah. I’m no longer a chump.
Tim Cook is part of the ELECTION CARTEL. These are the “Friends of Freedom”, “Friends of Privacy”, and “Friends of the Constitution” who were SILENT.
Martin Luther King Junior was SO RIGHT.
NOW – let me give you some more useful links.
Here is a kinda cute but kinda “jabbed-looking” tech chick with purple hair giving a nice description of what is going on.
Jump to 3:20 to catch the Apple story, or just start at the beginning to hear about more shocking Israeli spy tech.
Here is a rather pithy but “cutting right to the chase” report on the privacy concerns.
The title is a bit of a joke. Allow me to explain that, first.
The Mike Lindell symposium is amazing. The BOMBSHELLS just keep dropping. FAKE ELECTIONS are PROVEN. Dominion is TOAST. Audits are REAL and NEEDED.
All of this simply MUST be scaring the hell out of the DonkeyComs.
I strongly suspect that the communists and globalists – the Bidenistas and Bidenazis – are so desperate at the absolute uncovering of FAKE ELECTIONS, that they will need to find a NEW COVID-LEVEL REALITY HOAX – IN CONJUNCTION WITH CHINA – and there’s not much left except NUCLEAR.
Remember – another nuclear hoax like the sabotage at Three-Mile Island also serves their denuclearization agenda, to sell all the goods cheap to Russia and China, and truly CRUSH America.
They’ve already done a test nuclear hoax in Columbus, Ohio……
Ah, yes. It’s the TIMELINES that always get them. AS YOU WILL SEE. In my opinion, somebody like known provocateur ROBERT CREAMER has to be behind the Columbus “nuclear reactor escalation” hoax, and hopefully, when we have a new head of the Department of Energy fully operational – and some new leadership at the top …
I knew there was something fishy about that one. Yeah, it was a GREAT troll, but the Ohio GOP Christmas Party was too picayune of a target. The DonkeyComs don’t waste ammo like that. Something else was up.
And then I figured it out.
“BOOM”.
It was a TEST. And PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONING. (Mike Lindell is SO onto this stuff – it’s AWESOME.)
But remember – COVID is 90% hoax, but they used a REAL VIRUS for effect.
The next one will likely use real radioisotopes. Thankfully, people here have a bit of understanding, due to the excellent lessons from our resident physics teacher, SteveInCO.
We left off, circa 1903, having discovered radioactivity and the electron, and making quite a bit of progress with them.
To try to recap (and there are a few things in this so-called “recap” that I should have mentioned earlier, but didn’t), an electron is a negatively charged particle about 1/1830th the mass of a hydrogen atom, which up to then had been the lightest thing known to exist. They could be knocked off of atoms in a Crookes tube and they would then form what was called a cathode ray (yes, the same “cathode ray” in those big tubes in those old boxy TVs). It is possible to strip one electron off a hydrogen atom, at which point…..
SO – if the next thing they pull off is NUCLEAR, give whatever phony story the complicit media is selling, plenty of SIDE-EYE.
Are you with me?
The LYING MEDIA and the incorrigible DONKEY COMS will be LYING AGAIN.
Now – on to today’s BIG story.
“Dr. Shiva EXPOSES Big Tech and Censor Nazis”
This evening, the often left-ridiculed Dr. Shiva gave a STUNNING speech – absolutely amazing – something that will go down in history in any kind of a just future.
This clip is absolutely must-watch. This is true patriotism, spoken by a man we can all look up to.
You will note that he was invited to give a speech to a national medical association recently – just listen to him and you will understand why.
What Dr. Shiva does here is to recount very CLEARLY how he was CHEATED BY MACHINES out of an election, and then STONEWALLED in finding answers. It’s beautiful, because NOW we understand exactly what happened.
He noted that in the ONE county with hand-counted paper ballots he WON by 10 points. But in ALL the other counties with machine voting, he LOST 60-40, 60-40, 60-40, 60-40……
During his investigation, he was STONEWALLED by state election officials – especially after he learned that they were ILLEGALLY deleting ballot images after the election. He got into an argument with one official on Twitter, and was SUSPENDED from Twitter when he posted emails to prove the official was giving him the run-around.
From there, he went into court. During that experience, a HIT PIECE was done on Shiva, but the hit piece accidentally revealed that the Massachusetts Secretary of State had been the one who contacted Twitter to get Shiva silenced. Dr. Shiva then took that information into discovery, and it was revealed that the government of Massachusetts had a “Trusted Twitter Partnership” with Twitter.
From there, it just gets worse. Not only did the government have this partnership with Twitter – there is a special portal for government officials. And not just that – there is an organization – the National Association of State Election Directors – which the Massachusetts state election director had contacted, and THEY petitioned Twitter to have Dr. Shiva kicked off.
It’s worth listening to this point in the video (around 13:00-13:30), to hear how Tucker Carlson missed that story at that time, apparently, and the crowd breaks into “SHAME ON FOX”.
Anyway, Dr. Shiva was back on Twitter, doing all kinds of (sadly “controversial”) tweets, e.g. RE vaccination, with no consequence, but when he shared those emails again, he was permanently suspended in 17 minutes.
Back in court – this time against 7 lawyers, including 3 Twitter lawyers from Wilmer Hale…..
…… LOL – I think you’re starting to see how this works…. YES – THAT Wilmer-Hale……
The one Katica discovered was representing Hillary Clinton’s email case……
……but Shiva discovers that NOBODY contacted Twitter this time – he was algorithmically monitored and if he posted those emails again, he was going to get kicked off.
Yup. TWITTER had THAT particular evidence BLOCKED. How convenient!
But from there, Dr. Shiva discovered a GOLD MINE OF CENSORSHIP, trying to figure out more about the “Trusted Twitter Partnership”. He just lucked into this stuff by persistent searching.
Here is a link to ALL the materials I’m going to show you.
This next one is particularly interesting – this is where said usual suspects GLOAT over how WELL the “playbook” worked!
And there is a BEAUTIFUL diagram of how these suspects interrelate……

At this point, I’m just going to say, PLAY THE VIDEO and LISTEN TO DR. SHIVA.
The dude just gets on a roll that had me CHEERING!
Lindell joins him when he finishes, and it’s GREAT.
NOW – here is my point about the GEIGER COUNTER.
These two guys – this symposium – you listen to this, and you will know – they are REAL PATRIOTS trying to DO SOMETHING, and they are FLUSHING OUT THE BAD GUYS.
Consequently, they are like a DETECTOR for WHEAT versus CHAFF.
Mike Lindell and Dr. Shiva are amazingly powerful WHEAT-CHAFF SORTERS.
Perfect for use on PRIMARY CANDIDATES.
Who is going to be on their side? Who’s going to stick up for them? Who’s going to say their names with PRIDE?
PATRIOTS. REAL MAGA. People who will ADMIT that the machines are RIGGED.
Who is not going to be on their side? Who’s going to avoid mentioning them? Who’s going to be very uncomfortable talking about them – or FAKING IT?
RINOs. GOPe. LIGHTWEIGHTS. LOSERS. CHUMPS. People who use the machines to WIN.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Dr. Shiva is always trying to SELL STUFF, because – well – he’s being CHEATED at every turn, so he has to make a buck somehow. And Mike sells PILLOWS THAT WORK, for cryin’ out loud.
There are worse sins in the world. LIKE STEALING ELECTIONS.
But what they did today was REMARKABLE.
These guys proved that the whole electoral system, the government, the media, and the social media are RIGGED.
THEY ARE HEROES.
So here is the deal.
We are no longer taking this shit.
And most of all, this.
The DonkeyComs and RINOs are NOT getting out of responsibility for
FAKE ELECTIONS.
AND THIS, TOO.
We are not going to be FOOLED and SUCKERED by the next BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL, or NUCLEAR ATTACK from these lying, hoaxing American DNC communists and their horrible CCP allies.
We’re done with their hoaxy but deadly bullshit.
We are taking America back LEGALLY, PEACEFULLY, and WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.
Gab is inevitable. Our community has grown to the point where the GOP can’t simply pretend we do not exist anymore as they have for five years. Now they must attack and defame us like the left does. Our community will primary every last one of you in 2022. Every last one.
This was all in response to Gab being somewhat stupidly criticized by Governor Abbott during a photo op with two state reps touting an antisemitism bill.
As I’ve said before, NOTHING has done more to wash out the antisemites at Gab, than the massive influx of normies simply seeking free speech.
Addressing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s Statement About Gab
Every month 30 million people use Gab’s services to get access to the free flow of information online. Gab is the home of free speech in a world where Big Tech oligarchs have censored, deplatformed, and demonized tens of millions of good, honest, and decent people with whom they disagree politically.
Gov. Abbott’s statement will likely not sit well with the nearly 800,000 Texans who have visited Gab.com in the past 24 hours alone. What is even more strange is that the Texas GOP itself is on Gab with a verified account.
Gab is not an “anti-semitic” platform. We protect the political speech of all Americans, regardless of viewpoint, because in this age of cancel culture nobody else will. That means unpopular viewpoints may be found on the site.
The enemies of freedom smear us with every name in the book because they hate America and they hate free speech. It’s a shame to see a GOP politician fall for this trap when conservative values are under sustained attack all over the country.
People smear Gab for the kinds of people we host. They never smear Gab for the kinds of people we ban. That’s because we don’t have political tests for our users. Ban decisions are made on an individual basis. Our test for political speech is whether it is legal or not. Pretty simple rule.
There are many Jewish Gab users and customers, whose lawful speech we protect with just as much zeal as we would protect the lawful speech of any person of any faith, ethnicity, or creed.
This is what America used to be like: a place where The People could speak freely regardless of their faith, ethnic background, or beliefs. This is the America Gab is fighting to preserve.
Apparently Gov. Abbott doesn’t agree.
Andrew Torba CEO, Gab.com March 10th, 2021 Jesus is King
I am planning to create a “forum extension” to this site, which will allow for growth and “full free speech zones”, without significantly changing the nature of THIS site.
I decided AGAINST simply bringing The U Tree over to Epik. I don’t really feel like that site has much of a future. I don’t feel that it is as conducive as a full-fledged forum to either growthper se, or growth of free speech in particular.
But before I even think about building that forum annex, I would like to ask – WHICH of our 8 domains would you like to see used for that forum? I am playing with that stuff right now.
We have the following:
theqtree.com
theqtree.org
theqtree.net
theqtree.us
theqtree.info
theqtree.life
theqtree.site
theqtree.xyz
I plan to keep theqtree.com for THIS site. But what about the others?
Which ONE of the other 7 names would be good for the forum?
Please let me know your opinions and your reasoning.
Thanks!

The topic of a forum has been discussed previously.
I had just been thinking about matters of DC and the likelihood that President Trump already invoked the Insurrection Act some time after the Stolen Election – and probably much sooner than we realized – when THIS NEW INFORMATION came to my attention.
Hold off on viewing it, until I explain this a bit more.
This is an hour-long podcast by Mike Adams of Natural News.
Mike was personally kicked off Twitter and Facebook by the gelatinous monster Adam Schiff.
InfoWars (Alex Jones) and Natural News (Mike Adams) were both the FIRST and PRIMARY targets of the BEGINNING of the social media censorship which we are ALL experiencing now.
“Vaccine misinformation” was a pretext for Schiff to force / enable the social media TYRANTS to remove Mike Adams, in my opinion. But it was MUCH BIGGER than coronavirus vaccines. Much bigger than vaccines in general. Much bigger than any of that.
It was about NOW.
Mike Adams is, in my opinion, one of the best scientists out there – willing to stand up to the politically forced scientific opinions which theoretically don’t exist, but which in fact DOMINATE the most contentious parts of science – particularly where MONEY and POWER intersect.
My first indication that this guy had real chops was his acoustic analysis of the bullet audio from crowd videos of the Las Vegas shootings. When even the Las Vegas Sheriff and Chief of Police could not speak freely, under the hawk-like watch of the FBI, sticking to a single-shooter theory MASSIVELY contradicted and discredited by witnesses, and while even FBI scientists failed to provide even the slightest refutation other than “health nut smears”, Mike Adams VALIDATED the first shooter and PROVED A SECOND by an impressively SIMPLE and easily explained audio analysis.
Sadly, the video has been utterly scrubbed from the internet, but – well – copies do exist, let’s just say! Maybe they will find their way back to us when Silicon Valley is dealt with vis-a-vis the FIRST AMENDMENT.
ANYWAY, now we come to the issue at hand. “Somebody” just came to Mike Adams and told him things which blew him away. Mike is only able to HINT at these things for now, but they apparently are HUGE.
It is more by reading between the LINES of what Mike says that you will get a clearer picture of WHO came to him, WHY they came to him, WHAT they told him, and more.
WHEN and WHERE are more certain.
Mike says that we need to STAY HOME on January 19 and 20.
DO NOT go to Washington, DC.
DO NOT go to your state capitols.
Now – I don’t want to influence your perceptions of the video. I want you to watch it NOW.
You don’t have to watch much – Mike puts the IMPORTANT STUFF right up front, to make sure you get the information. You don’t have to watch more than 15 minutes to get what I want to discuss.
Here it is again:
Here is the page URL, if the embedded video gives you any trouble:
To me it is completely clear WHO came to Mike Adams – somebody who represents authorities that will be providing him with AUTHORITATIVE INFORMATION and thus bypassing the TREASON MEDIA. Mike is careful not to say who came to him, but whoever they are, they have some kind of significant authority, IMO.
It is also clear to me that WHY these authorities came to Mike – because his podcast audience now exceeds some limit which makes it a useful channel to reach people – AND Mike is a known patriot, whether people agree with his views on health matters and medicine or not.
WHAT exactly they told him, is almost certainly interesting to the point of being AMAZING. Mike summed it up by saying “Lin Wood is right” – and that he (Mike) has been converted from a “Lin Wood skeptic” to a “Lin Wood believer”.
You think the President’s LAWYER on the ELECTION might have to be READ IN on the most sensitive information about the ELECTION? Make sense NOW?
NOW – if you keep listening to the podcast, you will hear “echoes of Q”, and Mike will admit that he was not a “Q follower”, but that much of what Q told us is, surprisingly to him, TRUE.
Yeah.
If it’s not all becoming clear now, let the comments below help you!
YEAH. You have problems with this wonderful new site. We know that. But you are hesitant to bug THE WOLF any more than you already have.
We respect that. But we need you to tell us what is happening and why, because if we don’t, THIS WONDERFUL SITE may end up being destroyed by WordPress. Errrr – I mean WordPress.com.
Speaking of which, how many people here have been LOCKED OUT for “commenting too fast”?
Yeah. That was a beauty.
Thank you, all who reported that. Please SPEAK UP here and REMIND US if you got that red-box warning – I want to DOCUMENT IT HERE.
OK? Please let me know if you got that pop-up, and particularly if it kept you from commenting.
I want to hear it AGAIN. Right here.
I AM COLLECTING EVIDENCE.
You see, my definition of site security is less about who is watching us or how they are watching us, and more about ARE THEY TAMPERING WITH OUR GOOD THING?
SOCIAL HACKING is what I’m most concerned about.
WordPress.com – which kicked Sundance and CTH off its platform for political reasons, is not as big of a social hacker as Twitter and Facebook, but thanks to their AXEY-METH (Akismet) POST-RANSOM CRIMEWARE / MAFIA-PROTECTION RACKET MALWARE, they are close to it. The WordPress scam works a bit differently from the Twitter scam, but it works.
By my being the ONLY administrator / moderator on this site, and having (at present) ZERO moderation filters other than “PRIVATE_MESSAGE_TO_WLOF” (spelled correctly), I can “see through” all the games and all the con jobs that are foisted on honest patriots by the outside world, OR by the platform itself.
Anyway, a bit more about the “red box scam”. The pop-ups telling people they were posting too fast, and then BLOCKING them from commenting.
This was due to a setting in WordPress, as part of WordPress.com’s “JetPack” plugin, which supposedly prevents brute force attacks on the site. I want to thank grandmaintexas and her DH for helping me out there, with the critical insight that this censorship problem actually stemmed from that very particular setting.
Turning it off – BOOM – problem GONE.
Now – I’m not going to show WordPress.com all my cards here, but trust me – that setting did not initially block people from posting. The censorship SNUCK IN LATER. It was also very specific WHO it went after. I do not believe that it was accidental, either. I believe the targets were INTENTIONAL. But even if I’m wrong about that, it’s a lot like the China Virus. WordPress – and specifically JET PACK – is responsible.
Now bear in mind – JetPack is also responsible for the “bar-bell” notifications. That is primarily WHY we have JetPack installed as a plugin.
I want to ask people here – do you TRUST the notification system? The “black bar, white bell, and orange dot”. Do you trust that it always reports everything to you faithfully and without any kind of bias?
I may or may not be suspicious of JetPack’s notification behavior at this very moment, but it is my job, being in charge of security, to trust it exactly NEVER. I am faithful NOT to the software, nor even to its possibly long and glorious history, but rather to its INTEGRITY OF FUNCTION AT THIS MOMENT – an ephemerally correct thing which may or may not be true, but can never be assumed.
I am faithful to PRINCIPLES and to those who – like me – strive to UPHOLD THEM.
More about trust.
I most assuredly DO NOT TRUST WordPress.com not to #### with us again, via JetPack and WordPress.com authentication (meaning when you log in using your WordPress password and identity).
I want to IMPART THIS SUSPICION on all who enter here. I want you ALL to be my EYES AND EARS – so that not IF but WHEN WordPress.com decides to mess with us again, ALL OF YOU will be prepared. We almost lost some of your BEST FRIENDS HERE to the last scam.
The old site (wqth.wordpress.com) remains up, with a “GO TO THE NEW SITE” message at the top, but has been closed to comments, and will be decommissioned later, at some future date and time.

JetPack News
You know the little bell at the right end of the black bar from WordPress? The one that gives you notifications about likes and replies to your comments? The one that makes it very easy to have a conversation with somebody – or to check if people have replied to your comments?
That “bell notifier” is powered by a plugin called JetPack, from WordPress.com (DOT COM). While we are moving OFF WP.com, we are still using both WordPress itself, from WordPress.org (DOT ORG), and the JetPack plugin (free version).
If you want those notifications, you have to allow WP.com to link to your account here using JetPack. I have done everything I can in settings to make that simple yet reliable, based on our early testing of the new site.
If you want to get “bell notifications” for posts here, you just need to do the following:
WHITELIST this site, or allow it to use ALL COOKIES, particularly for wordpress.com
Be sure to have your browser remember your login username and password
Find JetPack in your SETTINGS, and LINK TO WORDPRESS.COM
If your first comment gets moderated, wait for approval, then try another comment
Get my attention if you have problems. Others may offer some help.
If you have done all this correctly, you will start seeing “bell notifications” of replies to any comments on this site.
Right now, 23 of our 56 registered users have JetPack notifications working!
There is another notifier on any page with comments – the “green circle with orange numbers”. That is a “new comment” notifier in wpDiscuz, the commenting plugin. That plugin is separate from JetPack, even though the two plugins both handle the same comment data. Likes in JetPack are not reflected in the “+1 / -1”, like / dislike system in wpDiscuz.
I will discuss the wpDiscuz plugin more later.
