Wall Street Banks Freeze Political Donations After Capitol Hill Riots, Threaten Pro-Trump Politicians with Blacklisting

But, but...I thought Wall Street and the rich bankers loved the Republicans?

That’s sarcasm of course. The democrats are the true party of the rich. Though their voters are too stupid to see that and of course the media (and it’s extremely rich talking heads) continue the narrative.

Nunes has it right - where is the DOJ, FBI....

I disagree. There are millions of us that can and are impacting their wallet. Trump had 88 million followers. What happens when all of those people walk away?

I've already deleted any liberals apps like FB, Instagram, etc. I'm weaning myself off face, I run a few large groups. I'm going to migrate from Google and cancel my Prime. If all us quit together, it will make a major impact.

Hard to feel a crunch when the PRC will pick up any financial losses. That's what is irritating the shit out of me. We can do everything: close accounts, not use their products, boycott them, etc; but none of it matters because they'll either be subsidized by tax paying Americans or outright by the PRC.

I'm not saying walking away won't make a difference, but China has deep pockets!

I keep facebook, and post almost everyday the videos and information shared on SF. Being in Cali, I know many Dems who do not have a clue what is being done. Therefore I use Facebook to point out what is happening. Using thier own platform to work against them.

It's a mistake to think they care about money at this point. It's about a globalist agenda and power. I'm deleting my accounts as well, but that is for myself, it's not going to impact them much.

What a class act. Our First Lady

“First Lady Melania Trump: Our Path Forward”

Like all of you, I have reflected on the past year and how the invisible enemy, Covid-19, swept across our beautiful country. All Nations have experienced the loss of loved ones, economic pain, and the negative impacts of isolation.

As your First Lady, it has been inspiring to witness firsthand what the people of our great Nation will do for one another, especially when we are at our most vulnerable.

With nearly every experience I have had, I found myself carrying many individual’s stories home with me in my heart.

Most recently, my heart goes out to: Air Force Veteran, Ashli Babbitt, Benjamin Philips, Kevin Greeson, Roseanne Boyland, and Capitol Police Officers, Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood. I pray for their families comfort and strength during this difficult time.

I am disappointed and disheartened with what happened last week. I find it shameful that surrounding these tragic events there has been salacious gossip, unwarranted personal attacks, and false misleading accusations on me – from people who are looking to be relevant and have an agenda. This time is solely about healing our country and its citizens. It should not be used for personal gain.

Our Nation must heal in a civil manner. Make no mistake about it, I absolutely condemn the violence that has occurred on our Nation’s Capitol. Violence is never acceptable.

As an American, I am proud of our freedom to express our viewpoints without persecution. It is one of the paramount ideals which America is fundamentally built on. Many have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect that right. With that in mind, I would like to call on the citizens of this country to take a moment, pause, and look at things from all perspectives.

I implore people to stop the violence, never make assumptions based on the color of a person’s skin or use differing political ideologies as a basis for aggression and viciousness. We must listen to one another, focus on what unites us, and rise above what divides us.

It is inspiring to see that so many have found a passion and enthusiasm in participating in an election, but we must not allow that passion to turn to violence. Our path forward is to come together, find our commonalities, and be the kind and strong people that I know we are.

Our country’s strength and character have revealed themselves in the communities that have been impacted by natural disasters and throughout this terrible pandemic that has affected all of us. The common thread in all of these challenging situations is American’s unwavering resolve to help one another. Your compassion has shown the true spirit of our country.

As I said over the summer, it is these defining moments that we will look back and tell our grandchildren that through empathy, strength, and determination, we were able to restore the promise of our future. Each of you are the backbone of this country. You are the people who continue to make the United States of America what it is, and who have the incredible responsibility of preparing our future generations to leave everything better than they found it.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your First Lady. I want to thank the millions of Americans who supported my husband and me over the past 4 years and shown the incredible impact of the American spirit. I am grateful to you all for letting me serve you on platforms which are dear to me.

Most importantly, I ask for healing, grace, understanding, and peace for our great Nation.

Every day let us remember that we are one Nation under God. God bless you all and God bless the United States of America.

Sincerely,

Melania Trump

70TB of Parler users’ messages, videos, and posts leaked by security researchers

Parler, a social network used to plan the storming of the U.S. Capitol last week, has been hit by a massive data scrape. Security researchers collected swaths of user data before the network went dark Monday morning after Amazon, Google, and Apple booted the platform.

The scrape includes user profile data, user information, and which users had administration rights for specific groups within the social network. Twitter user @donk_enby, who first announced about the scrape, claims that over a million video URLs, some deleted and private, were taken.

...

Reddit users claim that the scrape was made possible due Twilio, an American cloud communications platform that provided the platform with phone number verification services, cutting ties with Parler.

In a press release announcing the decision, Twilio revealed which services Parler was using. This information allowed hackers to deduct that it was possible to create users and verified accounts without actual verification.

With this type of access, newly minted users were able to get behind the login box API used for content delivery. That allowed them to see which users had moderator rights and this in turn allowed them to reset passwords of existing users with simple “forgot password” function. Since Twilio no longer authenticated emails, hackers were able to access admin accounts with ease.

WaPo reported late Sunday night:

Two days before Congress was set to formalize President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund was growing increasingly worried about the size of the pro-Trump crowds expected to stream into Washington in protest.

To be on the safe side, Sund asked House and Senate security officials for permission to request that the D.C. National Guard be placed on standby in case he needed quick backup.

But, Sund said Sunday, they turned him down.

In his first interview since pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol last week, Sund, who has since resigned his post, said his supervisors were reluctant to take formal steps to put the Guard on call even as police intelligence suggested that the crowd President Trump had invited to Washington to protest his defeat probably would be much larger than earlier demonstrations.

House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving said he wasn’t comfortable with the “optics” of formally declaring an emergency ahead of the demonstration, Sund said. Meanwhile, Senate Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger suggested that Sund should informally seek out his Guard contacts, asking them to “lean forward” and be on alert in case Capitol Police needed their help.

Irving could not be reached for comment. A cellphone number listed in his name has not accepted messages since Wednesday. Messages left at a residence he owns in Nevada were not immediately returned, and there was no answer Sunday evening at a Watergate apartment listed in his name. A neighbor said he had recently moved out.

Sund recalled a conference call with Pentagon officials and officials from the D.C. government. He said on the call: “I am making an urgent, urgent immediate request for National Guard assistance… I have got to get boots on the ground.”

But the request was apparently denied over optics.

“I don’t like the visual of the National Guard standing a police line with the Capitol in the background,” an Army official replied.

John Falcicchio, chief of staff for D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser admitted: “Literally, this guy is on the phone, I mean, crying out for help. It’s burned in my memories.”

In fact, rioters who breached the perimeter would have had to leave before Trump’s speech even began (at 12pm precisely) to make it in time for the events as they are detailed by authorities.

The Washington Post also states: “Sund’s outer perimeter on the Capitol’s west side was breached within 15 minutes,” meaning the Capitol was breached over an hour before Trump speech attendees could have even begun to arrive.

This correlates with Sund’s interview, where he admits: “I realized at 1pm, things aren’t going well… I’m watching my people getting slammed.”

Again, 1pm would have been a full 56-minutes before any Trump speech-attendees could have begun arriving, let alone breaching the perimeter and clashing with police. Downtown Washington, D.C. roads were closed. There was no way of arriving faster, let alone before the President had finished speaking.

At 1:09pm, still before the President had finished speaking, Sund called the Sergeants-at-arms of the House and Senate. He told them it was time to call in the National Guard. He even said he wanted an emergency declaration. Both, however, said they would “run it up the chain” and get back to him.

At 1:50pm the Capitol itself was breached. Still before most Trump speech attendees could have arrived.

What happened after this point was a back and forth over hours between D.C. officials, Army officials, and Capitol police.

Eventually – at past 5pm – the National Guard arrived.

And while Sund is quoted in the Washington Post as blaming President Trump’s speech for the violence that ensued – the timeline means that makes no sense.

The President’s fans are not known for leaving his speeches 5 or 10 minutes in. And by the time the Capitol was breached, those who had stayed to listen to even the first 15 minutes would not have even made it there in time.

Anybody think cloud storage is safe need to get there head exam

I find it interesting that when Trump supporters show up and occupy a space, it’s a riot. When BLM/Antifa do it, it’s a mostly peaceful protest.

Talk about bullshit.

I think Twitter thinks too highly of themselves.
Yes, they banned President Trump.
Guessing most conservatives expected this and could care less about Twitter.
Conservatives are banning Twitter by deleting their accounts.

If any “protesters” show up, guaranteed they will have ties to BLM/Antifa.

1. There's nobody at Twitter's HQ other than custodial staff, building engineers and security, that entire section of the city has been emptied of workers since March. There's nobody downtown, unless protestors are into performative acts....then again this is San Francisco
2. That section of the city is one of a handful of arm-pit neighborhoods, all the tech companies and building projects that moved-in over the last 20-yrs haven't loosened the area of its seedy, drug infested, street grime, one of the gathering areas for gutter punks, meth-heads, skaters and your typical antifa foot solider.
3. Its across the street from the last conservative rally where its main speaker (a black guy no less), got sucker punched and lost his front teeth from an antifa goon.

Parler sues Amazon for antitrust violations

Parler is demanding in federal court that Amazon reinstate the platform on its servers.



The social media site Parler is suing Amazon for "antitrust violations, breach of contract, and unlawful business interference" after Amazon's web hosting service wiped Parler from its servers, according to The Hill reporter John Kruzel.

According to Kruzel, Parler is demanding in federal court that Amazon reinstate the platform on its servers.

Amazon faced heavy criticism from conservatives after it announced that it would be kicking Parler off of its web hosting servers. The move came shortly after Apple and Google removed the Parler app from their respective application stores, causing many to criticize the companies as oligopolies acting in concert with social media giants to stifle competition.

Yup, just another server farm, controlled by a 3rd party whom you may or may not have control over, that will be mined for data.

Parker is still probably screwed seeing that so many judges are corrupted.
The case won't get heard.

Funny how we never heard a peep from the FBI when Atifa and BLM were actually rioting,burning,looting and assaulting law enforcement. Oh and remember all the protests in Washington D.C. when President Trump was inaugurated.

They have a good point... nothing good would come of it. So why do it?
It only takes a few Antifa with bad intent to make it go sideways.
