More and more "independents" are getting shut down because they were INSUFFICIENTLY PARANOID. They might have talked about Deepstate but they clearly didn't think Deepstate existed. Now they're finding out.

Some of them are facing barrages of lawsuits from individual rich satans who have Deepstate on their side. Others are losing the servers that they RENTED from satanic corporations.

Semi-reprint from a few months ago:

If you want to be a powerful independent voice, you need your own separate platform. This was true in the era of printing presses and still true now. The only difference is that we have forgotten the truth!

An editor who wanted to counter the establishment paper didn't expect to rent the big paper's presses and Linotypes. He knew that renting would limit his freedom. He bought his own press and equipment.

He certainly didn't expect the big paper to PAY him for using their press. Modern "independents" are shocked when Youtube stops PAYING them for using Youtube's equipment. This is just silly.

The Aberree is an excellent example. In 1954 Alphia Hart wanted to edit a periodical to counter the Hubbard cult and discuss related subjects in the 'spiritualist' camp. He knew in advance that he wouldn't be able to rent the services of the Enid News-n-Eagle or Cromwell Press. He knew they wouldn't touch the subject. Partly because it was uncool, mostly because Hubbard sued anyone who questioned his cult. No business wants to stand in front of a bulldozer. So Hart bought a mimeograph, rented a storefront, and got up and running. He later upgraded his equipment after he was making a bit of money. He was then able to make more money by printing and mailing material for other independent thinkers.

When government starts to shut things down OFFICIALLY, there's no solution. But so far that isn't happening. So far the campaign is lawsuits by individual rich fuckheads and collective action by the corporate branch of Deepstate. The solution to this threat is the same as Hart's defense against Hubbard's lawsuit machine. Have your own press or servers in your own building.
