Steps patriots must take to sidestep government and Big Tech censorship
It s getting bad out there. Conservatives and Christians need to act now or forever lose our freedoms.
Censorship is here. Its not being reported by mainstream media because theyre in on it. Its much bigger than social media platforms banning conservatives or news outlets forbidding discussions of vaccines or voter fraud. If this sounds like conspiracy theories youve heard about in the past, thats because the warning signs were there. Many of us simply didnt heed them.

It was built in Lebanon “from start to finish”, he said of the prototype, emblazoned at the front with a golden logo of the Dome of the Rock, the shrine in Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam’s third holiest site.
