We are being targeted more by "things" than people, these days. There are programs that sniff not just for certain context, but spider through connections. It's not just that we are writing the "wrong stuff", but also reading it, and talking to the "wrong people" about it. There are obvious filters that allow some "wrongthink" to pass, but I suspect that's because the aggregate of traffic to and fro these sources is deemed relatively benign (if not literally "controlled opposition", as the saying goes).

Good luck, Karen. I love your stuff.

If they had any integrity, they would be ashamed. But they don't, so they don't. With their documented collusion with FBI and, probably other agencies of the regime, this represents a violation of the Constitution and undermining American ideals. If they aren't redeemed, the American experiment has failed. Prepare for hard times ahead.

My first viral video got banned on YouTube. I consider it a badge of honor. Can you imagine, small fries like us, being a threat to the machine?

We need the equivalent of the EGOT for getting banned on social media platforms. A TIFLY. You’re at TI.

This is happening to so many people I care about for their honesty and thoughtful essays. I’m so sorry, Karen. But please don’t stop, if possible.

Karen, I love your essays--so unique and intelligent. I'm not on Twitter so I am not missing you, but agree with you that so often these substacks are being read by people who are already clued in. I had a recent situation where I posted on my FB page a cartoon saying, "For God's sake, don't get the booster!" I was personally attacked by a couple people, called 'f**king ignorant, dangerous, etc. etc. and told that the booster didn't need to be tested on humans because it's like the flu shot and doesn't need testing. And 'unfriended.' (Like I really cared). But the vitriol and vehemence---just took my breath away. These people are so far from 'breaking free.' It's sad, but the continued elevation of a campaign to erase those who speak truth is beyond worrisome.

I am sorry this is happening, we are living in a period of such chaos and hatred, It is painful to see. Now, as I continue to share sites that have excellent credentials, Was threatened on FB just for commenting how Charlie Daniels was a good man. Next thing I know, death threat, yet no ban for the troll, and though I need to delete acct, I feel as a Grandmother, Mom , I have no voice, so I continue to reach out to all, offering love and respect. Disheartening lately, but just can never give up, for together we could change so much, education for all, not just for the wealthy in power.

Godspeed

I do recommend your site to others for I find information that I trust

Thank you!

I think your mistake (maybe) was calling the Affordable Care Act Obamacare. He's sacred ground to the elite. I, personally, avoid getting that kind of ground on my feet.

Sorry.

I was suspended from instagram last year.

They never told me why either.

Crappy people

In my opinion it's because your title is spot on even if the content is a little light.

So sorry, Karen. Obviously, you are a threat to the Left wing. They try to shut down the truth, which is still getting out there, in spite of all the cancellations. Stay strong…..and Thank You.

People need to get out of abusive relationships.

The problem is that we are being forced into ever smaller boxes where there is no dialogue between differing views. Of course, I am also on all the conservative social media platforms. However, this is an echo chamber and gives a false sense of freedom when it is just another kind of prison. It is very dangerous to separate people so completely (which is the point). Without communication, misunderstandings grow into fear and hatred. That's what we are seeing now.

Karen, I love your essays and all that you try to do to preserve some sanity in this ever increasing left wing, batsh** crazy world that we are trying to survive. Please keep doing what you are doing. You bring a real light to my day. Sincerely, Bubba Humphries
