Gab.com Crushed by Leftist Might

There is a fascinating story in the news. Gab.com is gone. The left made it disappear, like Thanos snapping his fingers. That’s how hard it was.

Gab is a social media site for conservatives. It was used by Robert Bowers, the accused synagogue murderer. When I heard he had used Gab, I had no idea what people were talking about. I seem to recall hearing about something like it in the past, but I’m not sure. I have a vague memory of hearing about a site called Cube or Square or something. Maybe I’m imagining it.

Anyway, I don’t use Gab. I can’t endorse or condemn it. I don’t know what happens…happened…there. I do know it’s supposed to be an alternative to leftist-controlled sites that restrain free speech by conservatives and Christians.

Robert Bowers is mentally ill or, at the very least, brainwashed. He has an irrational hatred of the Jews, which comes from antichrist demons who have access to him because he is not aligned with God. He has accused Jews of committing some sort of murder or other. I don’t know what it’s all about. His excuse isn’t all that important, because excuses are lies. The hatred is what matters. If he were angry at them for refusing to support the pork industry, the situation would be just as bad.

Bowers used Gab to say nutty things about Jews. Libels. Judging by the Gab thread snippets we have seen, he was not alone. Ordinarily, when you appear on a popular website and say something like, “Jews eat Gentile babies,” you can expect other members to chime in and disagree, to say the least. I don’t know if anyone responded to Bowers that way, and I guess I never will know, but at least one crackpot backed him up.

Is everyone on Gab a dangerous kook who is likely to turn violent, or who will at least support such kooks and make them more likely to act? I don’t know. Godaddy killed Gab because of hate speech, so I can’t go look at it. For all I know, 97% of Gab members were Spirit-led Christians who just wanted a place to talk in peace. Or maybe it was a very bad site, like Stormfront.

The interesting thing here isn’t the question of whether Gab was a bad site. The interesting thing is that it was so easy to stifle conservative speech. It has been happening on Facebook and Twitter for a long time. That’s why Gab was created, I guess. Certain conservatives looked for a refuge where they could get away from leftist censorship, and look what happened. Instead of conducting mini-raids resulting in deletions and bans, they sucked the floor out from under the place and made it disappear.

That’s how powerful they are.

The government can’t do these things. The First Amendment makes it impossible. Say you want to create a website called “All_Puerto_Ricans_Must_be_Sterilized.com.” Uncle Sam can’t do one thing about it. Uncle Sam is not supposed to get involved in political debates. It’s very important for him to stay out, because as soon as he steps in, we have oppression, even if he begins by oppressing truly obnoxious people. Uncle Sam can’t be trusted to do the right thing. He is a composite ogre made up of human beings who are highly susceptible to corruption, so he can’t be trusted to censor wisely or fairly.

A famous court case established the right of Nazis to march in a Jewish neighborhood. The courts defend the Westboro Baptist Church, which consists of 20 or 30 people who drive around offending absolutely everyone. If it were up to the courts, Gab would still be around, and fair, intelligent people would approve. They would not approve of Gab, but they would approve of its right to exist.

Thanks to leftist tech hegemony, Uncle Sam isn’t the problem any more. He has been bypassed. Facebook and Youtube aren’t governed by the First Amendment, and neither is Godaddy. If they want to ban every site and user who uses the word “Tuesday,” they can do it, and none of us can do anything to fight back.

It is conceivable that Congress will eventually act, forcing tech companies to operate fairly, under strict oversight. We now live in an age in which First Amendment rights don’t mean squat unless Facebook and Google have to respect them. The First Amendment’s purpose will be nullified if tech kids are allowed to silence people they disagree with.

I don’t think oversight is going to happen. It would be difficult to implement, and besides, it would replace the tech kids with government bureaucrats who would probably continue their policies with even greater authority backing them up.

The Internet is a fascinating thing. Between maybe 1995 and the reeking debut of Pajamas Media, the Internet provided a lot of freedom. It provided a gaping crack through which conservative voices could shout. That gap started closing with fake corporate “blogs,” and the ascension of social media will glue it shut forever. We would still be able to say things leftists don’t like if we were saying them on blogs, but as soon as the social giants took off, most of us took the bait and became dependent on them. We put our heads in Jeff Zuckerberg’s lap, went to sleep, and woke up bald.

If you want to reach people, you don’t start a blog. No one will read it. You start a channel or account. We accepted a lite version of the Mark of the Beast in exchange for eyeballs, and now the Beast is taking the eyeballs away and leaving us beached.

Meanwhile, leftists continue to enjoy the support of social media sites. They will have that, and we will have little tiny blogs. We will whisper, and they will have PA systems.

Fascinating. You can’t watch this taking place and not find it fascinating. The First Amendment had limited power to begin with, and now even that little bit of power is sliding away.

I’ve been predicting this for many years. How long have prominent conservatives been talking about it? Three years, maybe? I was here long before that. The script had been written, and it was going to be played out. No one paid any attention to me or anyone else who sounded an alarm. Not until it became so obvious that even famous pundits could see it.

What do you expect me to say? “Man the ramparts”? “Drag your friends to the polls”? “Get a stick and hit Antifa nuts with it”? Forget it. I’m not interested in fighting back with childish weapons. Every day, I become more averse to it. I’m not rabble-rousing. I’m just observing.

Leftists, come take my freedom of speech. Cancel my hosting account. Take away my phone. If you’re able to do it, go for it. I’m not going to be a Proud Boy or a Patriot Pray-er, waving a golf club at rallies. Any country, or planet, you can take over is not worth fighting for. The fact that a thing is within your reach establishes its worthlessness.

I have a better home waiting, and Antifa will never get across the border. My advice is to do your best to turn to God and obtain citizenship.

In an apocryphal book, Hezekiah’s son Manasseh had the prophet Isaiah sawn in half, acting on advice from a false prophet named Belchira. When Belchira adjured Isaiah to recant, Isaiah said, “So far as I have utterance I say: Damned and accursed be thou and all thy powers and all thy house. For thou canst not take from me aught save the skin of my body.”

That sums it up, except I am not cursing anyone with damnation.

Here’s an interesting thing about the world. Everything exists in four readily perceived dimensions. The first three obvious dimensions are length, height, and width. The fourth is time, and it’s just as real as the other three. All else held equal, a person who lives longer is actually larger than other people. It’s like being taller or wider.

I am getting very small. When I got here, I was much taller. I had maybe, optimistically, 100 years of temporal height in my account. Now that number has been greatly reduced. That means there is much less of me here for my enemies to grasp and abuse. I’m sliding out of their hands as I age. My interest in fighting over this accursed ball of dirt is waning. My willingness to be contemned and shut out is waxing.

The Old Testament is full of relatively carnal battles. God sent the Jews out to kill people with swords. They had to pray and obey if they wanted his help, but still, they fought with man-made weapons. The current age is different. Christianity is much less carnal than pre-Christian Judaism.

Paul said we don’t fight with men. We fight powerful spirits. Look it up. Men are just puppets. Our big weapons are things like repentance, prayer, cursing, blessing, casting out demons, and so on. We’re not making God happy when we pick up clubs and do exactly what our persecutors do. How is he supposed to choose between us?

Remember the final page of Animal Farm?

When carnal tools are all you have, you pick them up and do your best, but we should be fighting supernaturally, and we should be working hard to love our enemies and help them change.

I have wasted a ton of time, disobeying God, fighting my enemies by carnal means. I have let myself forget that God loves my enemies and wants to change them. I have lost sight of the fact that, in my own right, I am no better than they are. I may be trying to do right now, but a few years back, I was just like the people who are trying to erase my kind. God helped me change, but in my heart, I took credit as though I had earned it. He had chosen me because I was special!

People should vote for friends of God. They should speak against leftism. But these things aren’t battle-winning weapons. God fights the enemies of those who serve him. We need to adopt God’s priorities and do what he tells us to do. If we do that, he will help us. If not, the carnal tools won’t get us anywhere. We’ll just end up frustrated and defeated.

Anger abounds these days. Division is drowning us. Different factions are at each other’s throats all the time. Men are evil, and women are good. White people are privileged oppressors. Black people are born criminals who can’t stay out of trouble. Hispanics are greedy, hateful conquerors who want to invade and loot our country. Muslims are savages who shouldn’t even be here. These things are whispered in our ears all day.

We are bombarded with angry ideas around the clock. It’s a Satanic plot carried out by the demons we listen to. The purpose is to make us forget love.

God created the universe for love. His ultimate goal is to create a group of children who live with him in a place where everyone is bathed with love and peace. That’s the entire point of creation.

Unbelievers are the reason we’re still here. But for God’s love for them, he would have taken us out of this awful place already. That’s in the Bible. The people who make us suffer are the only reason we are here, so how can we treat them as though they were biting flies that need to be swatted and abandoned?

It’s hard to think about that when a Nuremburgian fog seems to be rising up to choke us. We can’t help but think about the vile mistreatment we receive, and while we’re in pain, it’s not easy to feel love for the people who make it happen. We focus on the pain and fear, and it makes love hard to dwell on. Satan knows that, so he keeps his people jabbing at us.

We have to separate ourselves from cruel, underdeveloped, worldly people, but we’re also supposed to see the evil in them as a signal that they’re exactly who we should be praying for. We should be praying for God to crush the spirits that run them. We should be asking him to look among them and open the eyes and ears of anyone who can still be reached. The more vile a person is, the more important it is that we discuss him with God and see what can be done.

Jesus was critical of those who are only nice to their friends, saying even the wicked could do that. He came to save people who tore his skin open and nailed him to a cross. What the Pharisees and Romans did to him was worse than taking away a Facebook account.

Lately I have made a point of praying for terrible people. The synagogue shooter is a perfect example of a good opportunity. Whatever he has done, hell is a very stiff punishment, and if he can be changed, it will serve no purpose for him to be condemned. The Bible says God himself, who throws people into hell out of duty, is not willing that anyone should perish.

Paul murdered people who gathered to worship. That was his job as a servant of the high priest. Some people can be changed.

This is my long way of explaining why I’m not interested in protests, armed resistance, and so on. The left is going to win, because too many of us will allow them to goad us into joining them in carnality. I accept the fact that socialism owns the future. Satan eventually wins every population contest here on earth. I don’t have to make myself more corrupt by allowing myself to hate the cruel people who are against me.

If I do that, they win twice, or, more accurately, all of us lose.

Demons run wild in the crowd that doesn’t know God, and if I insist on responding with carnality, demons will run me, too. Then I won’t really be led by the Holy Spirit, and I will have limited authority and success. I will give spirits and people the legal right to harm me.

A Christian is supposed to be more than a conqueror. He is supposed to have victory over his human enemies, which makes him a conqueror, and he is supposed to go beyond conquest, by helping them join the family of God. There is symmetry in the supernatural. Satan’s children can be more than conquerors, too. They can overcome weak Christians in the natural and also provoke them to obey anger and fear and join Satan’s team.

I expect Gab to die permanently or be diminished to the point where it might as well be dead. I expect tech companies to succeed in greatly reducing conservative and Christian Internet content. I don’t pin my hopes on websites or the government. Prophecy clearly says we’re going to be rejected, so I’m not going to fight it.

I hope I can get cleaned up internally. I hope I can reach a few people and avoid driving them away from God with anger and pride.
