The Forum Is Indeed Gone

…and thus should rightly be taken down, in accordance with section 25(a) of Proboards’ terms of service, all fees, property rights and duties therein to the same notwithstanding. As they stated, its their SOLE DISCRETION WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFICATION AT ALL.
Yep, they got us.
For now.
But then again we at AP planned and prepared for this. Its called a PACE plan. We’ve been fighting this war for a LONG time, and those of you who’ve been with us for the past couple of years know it all too well. The constant attacks, the DDOS, the efforts to shut us up and shut us down.
They have not succeeded, nor will they succeed, BECAUSE I HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT.
Let me leave you with a little story from Afghanistan that I tell in class:
Once upon a time we got this brilliant idea to cut the Taliban communications. We’d blow their repeaters up- then they couldn’t communicate. So we did.
What we actually did was cause us not to be able to hear them- they simply started talking to each other, peer to peer, relaying information. In the long run, who was wiser?
Keep pushing. I’ll kindly remind you- you haven’t been pushed back yet.
 

Spread the love

    Post the SOI for the 80 and 40m nets. Tough to shut that down.

    • NC Scout January 12, 2021 at 19:03

      I will not, not here. Not in the public.

        Yup….Der Feind hört mit !!!
        But I would still like to get the SOI for80 & 40 mind you ( hoping propagation is good although my QTH isn’t located where I would like it to be for good results…)

        I was wondering if you guys had any problems as the Treehouse got deplatformed several weeks ago. You know we can see this behavior of tyranny repeated throughout history. No doubt they will soon come for our guns. The most concerning thing to me unlike the other times in history technology is strongly on their side as in big tech. The story about the Afghanis is inspiring. We gotta find a way around this wall because we aren’t going to blast through.

            Just got of the phone with a ‘normie-con’ –and wholly shit, were they pissed off. Talk about pouring gasoline onto a stack of already burning truck tires. Jeeze!! These fools in DC actually believe that there will be no meaningful blowback to their actions. Especially these silicon valley fools who at the most could hardly wield a cup of latte and wave a butter knife using harsh language. Don’t these tech fools realize that “de-platforming” can rub both ways? It doesn’t take much imagination on what would it take to de-platform them and their ilk.
            Listen carefully to what this woman in NYC says to Senator Shit-mer… listen carefully in full (before it’s pulled down).
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWzleBqMKdQ&feature=emb_logo
            She gives a hint of what is to come to these people. Now they are pushing and pushing until there is a breaking point–and then they will reap the whirlwind… wholly shit!!!
            Now the FBI (Fuk-stain Bullshit Instigators) is issuing a warning that there will be armed marches on all 50 state capitols–and also that militia units are going to mass around the white house to supposedly protect President Trump. This is shit right out of the CIA playbook and I bet that Mecca-Man-Brennan and his ilk are behind it. Expect some sorta’ false flag operation very soon to break the ice-dam so that the leftist can start pulling the levers of hard-core tyranny.
            Right now half the country believe President Trump in that the election was fraudulently stolen from him–and now they are seeing that the entire country is being stolen from them right in front of their eyes by a gang of ruthless amoral communists who are now silencing them on all social media platforms (soon followed by a campaign of doxing and harassments down to business and work-place levels) –led by a soon to be puppet president who is half out of his mind with dementia.
            If President Trump were to pull the trigger on executive orders–he could stave off full scale civil war in this country, prevent the breakup of the USA, restore our economy and maintain the value of the currency. Sure there would be a short period of chaos and violence from the left–but they soon would be put down by the military–and if needed he could call up the ‘militia of the several states (over 20 million willing to do so) to help restore order.
            A Biden regime would most assuredly intentionally provoke and insure a long, protracted civil war… and the end of which the USA would fracture, our economy would be in tatters and countless thousands upon thousands of lives lost.
            Should Trump choose to surrender to the latter–they are going to file multiple criminal charges against him and his family, crush him financially and utterly destroy them all as an example to his supporters… which also would case a civil war to erupt BTW.
            I wonder which way this is going to shake out.

        • rto-jerry January 12, 2021 at 21:21

          The technology they rely on is quite vulnerable and redundancy is not as common practice as just a decade ago. +hubris like Scout mentioned.

          • Shinmen Takezo January 12, 2021 at 22:33

            Vulnerable–yes. Highly so. Wrap your heads around this.
            FYI… 85% of the leftist’s power derives directly from the tech-giants, MSM, and Hollywood. Without these accomplices, the political zipper-heads/tyrants would just poodles barking in the wind. You will notice that all events, political moves, catastrophes or crisis is preceded and proceeded by a bevy of talking puppets telling you what to think.
            Should a spicy time break out, it would be a wise thing to bet against these tech giants and media companies–as they will all be pulled down ad did the Romans pulled the temple down in 70 AD. They all act as if they are immune to blowback and don’t realize that there will be no room in the bunkers when SHTF. They are useful idiots reading off of provided scripts.

    ALCON: If you are west of the front range and have HF capability please tune into the 12th region traffic net. The net meets everyday at 0700 MST on 3.923.50. This is a ARRL controlled net, normally lasts 4 to 6 minutes unless there is traffic to pass. After the net is over we rag chew. Then we (APTN) can either stay on that frequency or move to another frequency to conduct our business. This is an established net with some very solid hams. This is not a patriot net it is a ARRL Traffic net. Lately at 0700 the band has been temperamental forcing stations to relay back to NC, however the band tightens up around 0800 and comms from AZ to WY to Colorado to Montana to Idaho to Nevada to Utah and to Washington have been easy
    What we need now is serious options not funny words.

    If Silicon Valley gets unplugged, their power over us is GONE. Of course so are millions of livelihoods, and lives…
    Well if it happens I hope they only take out the West Grid (IIRC there are three independent parts of the grid: East of The Mississippi, West of it, and Texas. Nothing personal to my friends in the West.
    Desperate men do desperate things. The hubris of the left is driving them to create a massive and rapidly increasing number of desperate people.

    They’re setting the table in AK
    “Message from (APD) Chief Justin Doll:
    Considering recent events and community concerns, I wanted you to know the Anchorage Police Department (APD) is taking proactive steps to monitor events and information sources involving hate-based threats that may lead to violence. It’s a coordinated effort with our federal and state law enforcement partners.
    Although there are no specific threats in Anchorage at this time, you may see an increased police presence in the areas of government buildings and planned events during the next several weeks. This is to ensure the normal operation of government and the safety of our community.
    We fully support every Alaskan’s ability to exercise their constitutional rights, and our community has a history of acting responsibly and safely when making their voices heard. However, we will not tolerate violence of any kind.
    As always, if you see or hear anything suspicious, please call us. If it’s a direct and imminent emergency, call 911. If not, call 311.
    I fervently hope that the coming weeks grace the country and our own community with a sense of calm, and that cooler heads prevail in reducing the spread of violent rhetoric. I have great faith in the ability of Alaskans to act responsibly, and fully believe that our community will exercise restraint and good judgement.”

    This is disappointing but I can’t say I’m surprised. I never signed up because the hosting platform completely blocked Tor which made me suspicious. That and I didn’t want to bother trying a double VPN tunnel only to find out they block VPNs as well.
    There are plenty of open source alternatives out there. The downsides will be similar to running this site of course.
    In the near term, a Matrix or Mastadon server might be worthy alternatives.
    In the mid term, Signal is supposed to be ditching the phone number registration requirement along with adding more group-based discussion features. Something to keep your eyes on.

    Checkout Holochain: https://holo.host/faq/what-is-holochain/ “what is Holochain”. It is related to Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) but not the same. It is likely better than DLT. A lot better. The answer to unbreakable forums my very well be here already. Although the advantages to Holochain are expected to be many and far reaching, several caveats are explained below. You didn’t expect it to be easy, did you?
    I’m hoping there is more than one experienced computer programming expert among American Partisan viewers. My knowledge is too introductory for me to be such a person. I live in the Phoenix Metro area and would like to connect with such persons.
    Now the caveats. It can be confused with DLT and cryptocurrencies. Within the last year it has gone from the development stage into the implementation stage. It can be difficult to understand at this point. It does have a cryptocurrency called Holo with the symbol of HOT which is not a good investment nor is it meant to be; those in the know are not interested in Holochain for that reason.
    The founders are very well known and respected and very well funded. In my opinion I would describe Holochain ‘experts’ as libertarian-leaning liberals (remember, they are computer programmers!). The caveat is that there is no central fountain of experts that you can go to and buy expertise. IMO, somewhere along the line if right-leaning people like us are to get in on the ground floor we should start with providing a service or selling a product (Printing anyone? T-shirts anyone? Forum on knitting anyone?) that is neutral or doesn’t harm the sensibilities of the left-leaning libertarians. In other words if you run in there like Yosemite Sam with guns a-blazin’ I highly doubt you’ll find anyone willing to help you learn or implement Holochain to suit your needs.

    Paul in Boston said…
    Joe Texan: Wiping out a datacenter doesn’t matter much in the scheme of things. Andrew Carnegie, founder of US Steel, in his day was the richest man in America, even richer than John D. Rockefeller. He once said, “Take away my factories and I’ll have it all back in five years, take away my people and I’ll have nothing.” The real issue is the New York news media, the NYT, the Associated Press, and all the network news operations. It’s been pointed out that without their influence, the politics of the US would be about the same as the politics of West Texas. The real program over the next several years should be to embarrass, humiliate, and generally ruin the lives of the newspaper and network news operatives from the top executives and anchors down to the lowest trainee reporter. Make the national news operation of the NYT, ABC, CBS, all the rest a financial anchor that will take down the entire network unless it’s thrown overboard. They can keep the entertainment stuff, it’s the news that’s poison. Once that’s done the Democrat Party no longer has a megaphone to send out and amplify its message.

          1. Everything is a mitigated risk. At some point you’re going to have to man up. Or not.
          2. Outside the box thinking.
          And that’s basically it. I’ve talked at great lengths about OPSEC and PERSEC concerns in the past. If you’re late to the game, again, that’s on you. You can sit on your hands and do nothing, or stand up in the face of adversity and show some backbone. Or not.
          But this commo game ain’t a plug and play deal. Either you work at it and get better, or reap the reward of not. Your call.

    Agreed. What GWOT taught us was that for every high tech problem that we gave the enemy, they had a low or no tech solution.
