My experience was on LinkedIn. Before the pandemic, I wrote about regular old risk issues, how to make sure you get the best insurance deal, how to mitigate risks etc. Boring stuff, I know, but it's my profession, and I wrote decent posts on it, I think.

Then as I saw the approach to risk management generally devolve into an emotive, hysterical mess in the beginning of 2020, I was astounded. I have a very good handle on risk generally, and immediately the risk I considered the most severe was the reaction by governments, not Covid itself. I also said in March 2020 something along these lines on LinkedIn - "there's going to be a vaccine, and who gets it and who doesn't is going to turn into a really big deal". See, when you work in risk for so long, you can kind of see what's coming, to a degree, and what I saw coming was government over-reaction, not a huge death toll from an illness.

My rational approach to risk and my posts about it attracted likeminded people. My contacts grew exponentially and I had several posts go viral. I engaged in online warfare with vaccine bigots, many of whom were in my own community. I went to many, many protests, and took footage and posted it.

I was repeatedly harassed, trolled, had functionality limited. Sometimes I would make a comment and it would be removed in seconds. Even my chat was affected.

In the end, they perma-banned me at the end of 2022. I joined Twitter not that long ago and found myself perma-banned within a few months (nothing sus eh).

The town I live is a smallish community, and it has become well-known around Perth that I stood up against all this. I have had more than one employer say to me that they'd be interested in hiring me if it weren't for my activism. I basically haven't worked a day since, despite having some great skills.

So yep, my butt is also red-raw from being spanked for telling the truth....lol

But as my wife reminds me, I couldn't have done anything else. I don't regret it, even if it means I never work another day again.

Today, the only place I get to have my say is here on substack. I refuse to participate in the swamp that is facebook, and tiktok is just a haven for mental illness.

I was in Linked In too, long before the plandemic., a writers' group. If they went after our profiles they'd be bored silly. I did learn one thing from it, if you aren't a crime writer skip this. It was "blood spatter," not splatter. Important? Only to writers and readers. Oh, a question for the readers here. My publisher said this, "Write s few sentences, that's a paragraph." Here is an example of what she wanted: "I sit on an old oil drum, rusty from sitting in the rain and snow too long. Its sides are full of marks and dents, and it looks as if Mays or maybe Maris has taken a baseball bat to it. I'm in my rattiest gray overcoat. It has a cigarette burn on the lapel from the time I fell asleep on that eighteen hour stakeout near the river. There are food stains down the front and near the bottom, god only knows " Now what I thought the minds of my audience could handle: "I sit on an old oil drum, rusty from sitting in the rain and snow too long. Its sides are full of marks and dents, and it looks as if Mays or maybe Maris has taken a baseball bat to it. I'm in my rattiest gray overcoat. It has a cigarette burn on the lapel from the time I fell asleep on that eighteen hour stakeout near the river. There are food stains down the front and near the bottom, god only knows what caused those odd markings near the left cuff. I saw stars while my chest burned. They said I danced a jig then, who knows, I might have. That job was a total waste of time. The snitch who fed me information was only trying to make a little dough that day, I guess. I take pride in knowing that I don't always dress this way. This stakeout is boring like all the others. Stakeouts are my least favorite thing, but according to the Capt., this was necessary. You got me as to why, the smell of vomit mixed with piss? Maybe the sight of junkies and hookers? I long for something, anything to show up of interest. I'm not disappointed, detectives like me don’t appreciate mooks setting up shop to spy on someone, but I gather that’s why I’m here. They stayed in their silver Chrysler watching Mr. Pelusi’s building. They probably are after someone, I have no clue who yet."

Which do you think?

Viruses take 400 years to grow naturally. yep, I was banned on twatter too for 9 years, never felt any loss. They never said why though.

When I first heard the idea that there was no such things as viruses, I was astounded by how much that explained in My life. The "5 second rule" and more. So when the crown bug invasion was announced, already I was in the no-virus camp. The risks I saw were that People would take it seriously and get jabbed, and the social engineering I had identified happening.

But I was shadow banned on X-twatter long before the crown bug invasion (of Our minds) began. My work is something I give high probability - extremely high! - They don't want awareness of spreading.

I was glad to see that Substack (thus far) is not censored, and it does not look like shadow bans are used. I am hoping deeply that it stays that way!

So sad You had all that harassment - I haven't checked My linked in account in... Many years. Haha! I commend You for Your strength through the hell the psychopaths in control are putting Us through!

Right on with this Amaterasu. Censorship is an abomination. We need to allow everyone free speech, we can also use free speech to knock their logic out of the water if it doesn't make sense. What logic is it that someone can censor another? Free speech is our birthright. If someone says something you disagree with, argue with them. Use more speech not no speech.

You say it how it is and you say it well. Speak the truth and die, or speak the truth to survive a madness worth than death. Somethings are worth dying for, like Freedom.

Love the new name for discord = dickscored 🤣 I used to have an account there too! Never used it much though so I deleted my account! A lot of people are recommending Telegram! I have learned that all of these big tech sites spy on people, track people's internet activity and steal people's personal information and will send this information to the government(see 👁 A). The internet was basically created to spy on people and encourage people to give up their personal information! Facebook, Instagram are perfect examples! So the motto on Facebook about "connecting with friends and family and sharing exciting things about your life", and so on is a load of bullshit! These sites encourage people to make their information public so it can be used against people! So the government can consider anybody a terrorist, spreading hate speech for sharing and telling the truth if they choose to do so! But what most people share on these sites is harmless and not threatening to anything! But today if people share hard truths on these sites the government can target these people and watch everything they do which is a loss of freedom and privacy! I do have a Facebook and Instagram account but I haven't posted any very personal information on them! I rarely use either one of them and I'm thinking about deleting both and completely getting off! It amazes me at how much personal information that people do post on these sites! People are constantly posting pictures of their children, where they are going, what they are doing and so on! This information is public still even if these people choose who can see their posts! The government for one thing, smart, savvy hackers and pedophiles too! Obviously most people do not realize that posting pictures of their young children and grandchildren and the pictures of young children from their other family members (young nieces and nephews)might be seen by pedo's too! People post pictures of their children all the time doing the things that children do which is very cute! For example pictures and videos of where their child is having their birthday party! Well now that information is public and so is the location because people do post on Facebook, Instagram where they are from and the city they live in! Pedo's have access to this information now too! All a pedo has to do is take a screen shot of that child/or children! Obviously what I've just explained here people do not give this a second thought! For myself in seeing today how much our freedom is under attack just from people speaking out and sharing truth to educate people, these people get deplatformed and censored! Also privacy is included with freedom too which made me think about people posting pictures of their children on social media! I know people are aware that pedo's are out in society, Jeffrey Epstein was not the only one!

I don't do much social media anymore, substack is the only one I go to now and I haven't experienced any censorship on here so far! I see that people can speak what's on their minds here and share their truths which we all have to keep alive! Great article!👍 So dickscore supports censorship now too!

I presently have a server on Telegram... And I hang out on dickscored, too. Helping People with questions about problems They have with Odysee - the BEST site out there! Substack is close - but You can't post videos too. You can only link from other platforms. Odysee allows both articles and videos to be posted. And is on the blockchain, so no censorship...

I have never had a farcebook or instagroan account...

I do MeWe - I am so shadow banned on X-twatter that it's a waste of time.

Most humble thanks for Your payment of attention in reading. I am muchly enriched!

You're welcome 😊 I enjoy your articles! Farcebook and Instagroan🤣 Honey you ain't missin' nothing by not having an account on either one! I also call "X" twatter too which I don't do either! I thought Ole Elon was all about free speech! What do you think about Telegram? Is it pretty cool?

A similar treatment happened to me on Medium.com back in spring 2020. I started writing about the germ theory lie. Commenters — who may have been paid shills — called me evil, a killer, and crazy. When I asked what specifically makes me crazy in their opinion, they never responded. Then I wrote an article titled "Where Are All Our Protector Men? A Call To Action" and the "Trust & Safety Committee" shut me down. Talk about evil! I'm glad I found Substack and found you here!

Yes Medium.com turned fascist a couple of years ago. I used to write for them but now I think they won't let me because I can't seem to access my account, though the articles I wrote are still on there.

Do you have those topics here on substack that Medium.com shut you down over? I've never heard of Medium.com! Don't want to if they support censorship!

Yes, Amii. I re-wrote them on Substack. They are my four oldest posts, all dated in April 2021.

And yes, I wouldn't bother with Medium. They are part of the tyrannical psychopathic social constructs!

I hate trolls! They're everywhere making stupid ridiculous comments back to people! I haven't seen any trolls here on substack! I actually enjoy reading through the comments on the substacks that I follow! People actually carry on decent conversations about topics here and post links to other sites too with great information! That's how we educate each other and share important information! So social media is not all bad, it has its positives too🙂

🙏🏻 You pay Me well in appreciation! Indeed, though I do not see "evil" per se, seeing unEthical instead, the whole of the system I do not consent to is grossly unEthicall

I don't blame you! I don't watch these movies out today either! Me and my husband like the older TV shows and movies from the 1960's through the 1990s. I grew up in the 1970s so I relate to those TV shows and movies more! Back then it was a completely different world!

I grew up in the 60's and early 70's... But My parents would not get a TV, and rarely took Us to movies, so I never learned to sit and watch. LOL! I sit and read, though... Haha!
