Free America – The Realm in Exile – Part 1

photog Current Events, OCF, Trump , ,

I hope that President Trump finds a platform soon and gives us a rousing speech and declares himself the leader in exile of the free people of the former United States of America.  I hope he gives us his version of the St. Crispin’s Day speech to raise our spirits and begin this period in exile on a high note.  I hope he raises his flag and begins building an alternative to the Republican party so that we have something we can belong to that stands for what we believe in.  And when he does I’ll join it on the first day and support it any way I can.

But I don’t feel like waiting.  I’m in the mood to mutiny.  I aim to misbehave.  I hereby declare myself a charter member of Free America.  Free America is the part of the former United states of America that rejects the fraudulent elections that took place in 2020 and will maintain a nation in exile until we are freed from the control of the Pretender who will soon inflict his evil and illegitimate control over us in any way he can.

I will do all that is within my very meager powers to lend support and comfort to anyone of my brothers and sisters out there who is of the same spirit.  I will do my best to provide information and hopefully morale for those of us who are unrepresented in the tyrannical regime that has usurped power in Washington.

So until someone comes up with a better term and builds a more meaningful platform to represent our people, Orion’s Cold Fire will be the headquarters for Free America and the voice of free Americans living within the borders of Post-America.  Tell all your friends that they are invited to come and speak their minds and share information and provide encouragement for the rest of us who don’t feel like just knuckling under and giving up all hope.  Giving up is stupid and weak.  There’s too much here worth keeping alive here to allow these creeps to win without even trying.  So that’s what I feel like saying today.  If someone smarter and stronger and with a bigger following wants to lead then let him show up and I’ll wave his banner.  But until that day I’ll make a start and plant my flag and say, “Here I am.”

10JAN2021 – Tech Alternatives

photog Current Events ,

So in a comment, Chemist noted that Amazon is cancelling Parler’s server space in order to shut them down.  And that web hosts are purging evil thinkers based on their evil thinking.  This is all true.  But in the spirit of providing information, I did a little search and found this hosting company Klicked Media that is specifically aimed at hosting conservative web sites.  They also say they can monetize your site too.  I’ll need to look into the details a little but that sounds pretty encouraging.  I assume they do not use Google or Amazon servers for their hosting.  But it would have to be confirmed.  I’ll give them a shout and find out.

As far as social media sites I’ve been on Gab since 2016.  It’s not actually my cup of tea but I can see how it will satisfy the Twitter/Facebook users.  Now that Facebook and Twitter are going through with their purges Gab may turn out to be the real winner in this whole debacle.  Imagine if President Trump sets up an account there.  That would be something.

Vox Day has a social media site called Social Galactic.  I don’t know the details of it but Vox is an island of his own and you have to take him as he is.  So visit his website before getting involved to make sure that community is for you.

I’ll try to add more information for those interested.  But it is important to know that there are alternatives to working with those who hate us.

But the greatest presence on the internet and the smartest people in the multiverse are of course right here at Orion’s Cold Fire (OCF).  We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, well you get he picture.

What’s President Trump’s Next Move?

photog Current Events, Trump ,

I assume Dementia Joe and Willie Brown’s Ho will start off their fake regime by passing a whole bunch of laws to make us miserable and trample on our constitutional rights.  Whatever atrocities they commit I’ll do my best to neutralize their effect by appropriate avoidance techniques.  But I’ll be damned if I’ll actually listen to anything those morons have to say.  I don’t have the strongest stomach and I think it would be bad for my digestion to hear that kind of bilge on an empty or full stomach.  Unless, that is, if someone tells me that there are some really hilarious gaffs included.  And even then, it will be annoying to see his ugly stupid head.

But what I’m really interested in is President Trump’s next moves.  I want to hear from the man.  If he is going to set up an operation I want to know if it’s something I can get involved in.  A social media company especially one that allows users to network with people from our side would be very exciting.  And a small fee to set up a site on it wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me as long as it works well.

A news media company would be okay but honestly, I get my information from websites now and television isn’t so much of a thing I’m interested in anymore.  But burying FoxNews is an admirable goal so that would be okay.

Maybe he’s going to start a political organization, either a third party or a PAC that will represent the interests of the Deplorables.  That would be amazing.  I could see an organization like that primarying every single one of the quisling Republicans that turned tail and showed the yellow stripes on their backs during the “riot in the Capitol.”  Seeing Mitt Romney ejected during a primary election would be one of the happiest moments of my political life.

Or maybe he’s going to two or three of these things at the same time.  Or maybe he’s going to get back into his own business.  After all, four years is a long time to ignore a large company.  Maybe it’s time he got back to making money.

Or finally, maybe he’s tired and will want to retire and write his memoirs.  I’m sure he could sell a hundred million copies of a book that details the things that went on in the White House during his administration.  It would be fascinating and very educational to many, many of us.

But whatever he decides to do I’d like to know.  Having him cut off from his people is weird.  I don’t think there’s been a week in the last four years that he hasn’t sent us messages about what he was thinking and doing.  Having to hear about Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer or especially Dementia Joe is just too boring and unpleasant to contemplate.  They are pathetic losers and subhuman creatures that don’t merit anyone reading or hearing their words or thoughts.

So, come on President Trump, set up a website and provide us with some content.  It doesn’t have to be restricted to tweet length messages.  Keep us informed about what the real leader of the real Americans is up to.  Don’t leave us to the dreary prospect of subsisting on the nonsense that comes out of “official” Washington.  That’s a fate worse than death.

Being Right on the Net

photog Current Events, OCF, Trump , , , , , ,

Google, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, PayPal, Apple, Microsoft, Kickstarter, etc., etc., etc.  The internet giants will be doing everything in their power to shut down the opposition to Dementia Joe.  They will de-platform, ban and demonetize everyone on the right they can think of.

Will this work?  No, not really.  What it will do is change the basis of how things will work going forward.  Conservatives won’t be able to free ride on the social network platforms and monetize their popularity through Google’s monolithic stranglehold on the flow of information and internet advertising.  The Right will be forced to set themselves up as Mom-and-Pop shops doing their advertising in places like Parler and Gab.  Well, so what?  That’s probably a good idea.  Being under the thumb of the Tech Giants means having to pass their ever more biased speech codes until you’d end up either sounding exactly like the Left or completely silent.

The harder challenge will be the banks and credit companies.  PayPal and some of the other e-commerce payment processors have also been cancelling out the accounts of people whose politics they don’t approve of.  The last I heard there are some alternate processors who will serve instead.  There are probably problems associated with the alternatives but right now those are the breaks.  It can be expected that the Left will continue to put pressure on these alternate providers to close ranks to try to starve out the Right.  And for that reason, in the future it should be a priority of any organized front on the Right to build up financial platforms of our own to protect us from the Left’s blockade actions.

Up until now I haven’t monetized my site at all.  I really want to find out if I have anything worth selling.  But I have noticed a few folks making the first moves to putting in paywalls around some content and accepting a few reasonable ads on their sites.  I like what the ZMan is doing.  He gives a plug for businesses that are owned by conservatives.  That makes a lot of sense.  We’re going to have to have a lot more of exactly that.

And I’ve been threatening to finish a book I’ve been working on for months.  Well, the excitement of the last couple of months has set me back at least that long but one day I’ll be peddling my opus magnum and I’ll have to decide whether I will use Amazon exclusively or try some other venue.  Maybe I’ll even have a store of my own.  We’ll see.

But the thing about all this is that it would go a lot faster and easier if we had a billionaire who had the wherewithal to set something up that catered to us.  A combination Facebook, YouTube, PayPal and Kickstarter just for the Right.  No more deplatforming, no more banning no more doxxing.  Basically, a place of our own.  And meanwhile the billionaire would make money hand over fist doing it.  Think of the merchandising and other opportunities available from having almost a monopoly over about 150 million Americans.  Now that really is worth the trouble of setting up.

If you’re reading this Mr. President think about it.  Building that would feel like a revolution all by itself.

Here’s some links for web hosting for conservatives and social media for us.

Last Man Standing – The Final Season – A Television Review

photog Reviews, TV Reviews , , , ,

When this show came out in 2011 it was clever, funny, and the main character Mike Baxter, played by Tim Allen, was decidedly right wing and outspoken.  When Donald Trump won the presidency, ABC cancelled the show.  Fox brought it back a few years ago but apparently the writers were either lobotomized or warned to castrate the show to make it acceptable to their woke corporate masters.

At this point it truly is unwatchable.  The two older daughters and their husbands have been infantilized into mewling morons prattling on about inanities that would embarrass a five-year-old to admit to.  The characters at Mike’s work place are not quite as imbecilic as Mike’s children but it’s close.  And I’ll have to say Tim Allen isn’t looking well.  I guess he’s getting up there because he seems weak, almost frail.  Maybe it’s just the effect of being forced to go through the motions on a show that’s been gutted and then put on display as a trophy and a warning to anyone who dares to dispute the primacy of the narrative.

Farewell Tim Allen.  You had a good run.  You should have quit while you were ahead.

The Outrage Comedy of the Capitol Riot

photog Current Events, Trump ,

Today we have every corner of the establishment, Republican and Democrat, rending their garments, tearing their faces and ripping out their hair, denouncing the horror of bison man sitting in Nancy Pelosi’s speaker’s chair.  Granted, the police decided to end the comedy with a real tragedy when they murdered Ashli Babbitt.  But up until that point we were witnessing a replay of what the Left allowed and even encouraged to go on during the “Summer of Floyd” follies that they imposed on their own cities.  They allowed the mental defectives in Antifa and BLM to ransack police stations and even Seattle’s City Hall with complete impunity and then they celebrated the chaos as justified.

They’ve allowed race baiters to pull down statues of Abraham Lincoln and other leaders but we’re supposed to be upset because the Capitol trespassers may have stolen Nancy Pelosi’s gavel.  The Left burned down countless businesses, beat and even murdered innocent Americans and stole whatever loot they could get their hands on but we’re supposed to be upset that they broke some windows in the US Capitol.  It’s hilarious just how tone deaf they really are.

Even most of the commentariat on the right is twisting itself into a pretzel to denounce the President and protestors for their dastardly act of subversion.

Please.  Who cares?  The Left just stole in plain view, the election for President of the United States and will be installing a dishonest dementia patient in that office.  Two hundred years ago our ancestors would have burned the Capitol to the ground with the Senators and Congressmen still in it.  These gangsters are just lucky that we’ve allowed a hundred years of propaganda to enervate the spirit of the men in this country.

The good news is that most of the news coverage of these events is completely unwatched by actual human beings.  Various bots of the tech companies are the only ones suffering through this nonsense.  But it is indicative of the absurdity of the times we live in that the idiots on the right like McConnell, Graham and even Cruz think they need to throw President Trump and his followers under the bus to keep from being on the wrong side of history.

This reaction on the right makes it clear as crystal that these people are clueless and these people are useless puppets.  They live in the echo chamber that is Washington DC and they are beyond any hope of understanding how their constituents actually feel.

But I will say it again.  We don’t care.  We don’t care that the Capitol was breached by a mob.  We don’t care that you were scared by bison man.  We don’t care that someone took a dump on your desk.  We don’t care if they stole your phone.  You deserve much worse.

We do care that you allowed a young woman to be murdered and nothing will be done about that murder.  There won’t be a national day of mourning or a vow to prosecute her killer or a public funeral or a sponsored riot to punish her enemies.

When Dementia Joe blasphemes his way through the oath of office, the legitimate period of the United States of America will officially come to an end.  In Post-America the order of the day will be to pore over the videos of Dementia Joe for comedic gems to be included in blooper reels.  This will help to ease some of our pain as the totalitarian regime systematically extinguishes our remaining freedoms.  But until they solve the technical problem of erasing memories, I will cherish the image of bison man running wild through the rotunda.  Such are the small pleasures of life still left to us.
