The whole "social media purge" is pretty major and has me thinking about some solutions for us here at the TAC.

Some people want you to believe that "deplatforming" from major social media websites is about one person’s “extreme” views. Or it’s about silencing conservatives. Or it’s about “fake news,” or Russia!!  Or, various other theories.

But it’s much bigger - and more dangerous - than any of those on their own. 

I’ve been putting a lot of thought into this - and what TAC needs to do to remain strong and growing in a future where our message will be more and more under attack.

First - a few points, in my opinion: 

   -     
It’s not just social media. It’s the banking system, too.   
 A statewide candidate got her Wells Fargo account closed because she advocated for medical marijuana in Florida, and received donations from marijuana industry lobbyists.  The banking system loves the federal government - and the feds hate it when states and people do things without their permission. (I covered this in a recent episode of my new Good Morning Liberty show)   

   -     
Alternative platforms are getting squeezed.   
 An hopeful competitor to youtube - bitchute - had their credit card processing cancelled by Stripe. They were told about a “financial partner” that pressured this to happen. I covered this in the same episode linked above.   

   -     
I believe each case is a test to do even more   
 Deplatforming one voice that is unpopular with the mainstream general public is really a test run, in my opinion. If people turn a blind eye to one person or business being shut down, it just means that there’s going to be pressure to do even more. 

BYPASS THE PURGE, ALGORITHMS, SHADOWBANS, FILTERS…

Our website traffic from ALL social media is just about 10% - which is really low compared to a lot of newer websites - and that’s a good thing.  If we got kicked off all those platforms, it would be a hit but it wouldn’t kill us. But we want you to be able to get our information - and email isn’t the best option either, as deliverability is getting hampered by major companies like google and apple too.

While it might seem a little outdated to some, RSS feeds are a great way to get around all the ways they block you from getting our content.   

**This is our main feed link - get it, use it, share it!

Basically, you just take our RSS url and add it to your own RSS feed reader (there are a ton of free ones, I personally use feedly)

Then you can easily stay on top of all our posts. You can get notifications, read them when you want, where you want.  You can save and share them - as you want.  Not as the tech giants tell you.

At the end of the day, it’s essential for us to build self-reliance.

However, we also need to be thinking about our ability to host our website, process transactions and receive donations and get our emails sent out and received. Any or all of these providers could cut us off at anytime.

I’ve been looking at other platforms like bitchute, real.video, minds, gab, steemit, coinbase commerce and others - and I’d love any suggestions you might have.

HELP US OUT?

The only way we can continue our work for the Constitution and liberty is through your support - be it in spreading the word by sharing our information or grabbing that RSS feed and using it often, or by donating to help us pay the bills and even expand by reaching more and more new people.

You can set up a TAC membership for as little as 2 bucks a month.  Thank you so much for any consideration you can give to becoming a member today!

EVENTS 

After a bit of a hiatus, I’ve recently decided to start speaking at some conferences and meetings again. Last fall, my great friend Tom Woods invited me to be a part of his 1000th episode event in Florida. I spoke at a big liberty event in New Orleans this summer, and will be speaking at events in LA and Dallas in the coming months.

If you’d like to book me to speak to your group, drop me a line. 

Thank you so much for reading and your support!
