John Matze says his family has been forced into hiding over death threats

Parler CEO John Matze says he and his family have been forced to go into hiding after death threats and "security breaches" and left them fearing for their lives.

A new court filing on Friday from the Parler legal team revealed Matze and his wife and young child are now in hiding after being placed in danger. 

Parler is a free speech-focused social media app that has been widely embraced by Trump supporters as it offers an uncensored alternative to restrictive Big Tech rivals.

This week, Parler launched an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon after the tech giant discontinued its web services following last week's riots on Capitol Hill. 

Amazon filed a response, claiming it has "no legal basis" and alleged its employees have been faced with threats and harassment. 

A copy of the filing from Parler's lawyers obtained by Fox News.

Parler acknowledges the disturbing claims made by Amazon but notes that the Jeff Bezos-run company is not the one receiving threats.

"Although AWS’s motion to seal focuses only on its own employees, Parler’s employees have been similarly harassed and threatened," the filing reads

"Parler’s CEO, John Matze, Jr., reports in his declaration in support of Parler’s TRO motion that many Parler employees are suffering harassment and hostility, fear for their safety and that of their families, and in some cases have fled their home state to escape persecution. 

"Matze himself, as the CEO of the company AWS continues to vilify, has had to leave his home and go into hiding with his family after receiving death threats and invasive personal security breaches," the filing continues.

Earlier this week, Matze told Fox News about the various threats he has received and the measures he would take to protect his family.

"There is a group called UGNazi that is targeting me," Matze said.

He noted that the controversial hacker group has released many of his passwords and personal information on the internet.

"They published my street address, they threatened to come through my front door."

He usually doesn’t take threats directed at him too seriously, he said.

But this time he’s gone into hiding with his family.

He isn’t sure when he’ll return home, saying he’s taking things "day-by-day," but thinks being away from his usual routine amid the chaos surrounding his company could actually be having a positive impact.

"It’s probably leveled me out," Matze said.

"If I was at home right now I think my stress levels would have been like three times higher… at least there is that saving grace."

What Biden’s Immigration Policies Would Do To America

America’s adversaries can’t wait for this massive betrayal.

BY MICHAEL CUTLER

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2021/01/bidens-immigration-policies-would-overwhelm-michael-cutler/;

Not unlike Donald Trump, during the Presidential campaign, Joe Biden turned immigration into a major issue.  However, unlike President Trump who promised to secure our nation’s borders against illegal entry and ramp up immigration law enforcement to protect innocent people from criminal aliens and international terrorists, Joe Biden has promised to do the polar opposite within the first 100 days of taking office- but no one is questioning why he would do this or how this would be beneficial to America or Americans.

On January 16, 2021 the American Thinker published an important article, Joe Biden's big amnesty plan stuns even the open-borders activists for its 'boldness' and 'ambition' that addressed many of the reasons why Biden’s plan to provide lawful status and pathways to citizenship for what has been estimated to be a  population of 11 million illegal aliens.

As disconcerting as all of the issues raised in the American Thinker article are, the article fails to make several other points that must be considered.

First of all, the number of 11 million is far, far smaller than would be the actual number of aliens who would benefit from such a massive amnesty program.

My earlier article, Biden’s 'Build Back Better' is Bunk included this excerpt:

Comprehensive Immigration Reform Should be Renamed the Overwhelm America Act" in which I noted that on September 21, 2018, Yale University reported Yale Study Finds Twice as Many Undocumented Immigrants as Previous Estimates.  That report, published just over two years ago noted:

Using mathematical modeling on a range of demographic and immigration operations data, the researchers estimate there are 22.1 million undocumented immigrants in the United States.

It is likely that the actual number of illegal aliens currently present in the United States is significantly higher than the Yale study’s 22.1 million.  Furthermore, with extravagant promises being made to illegal aliens by the incoming Biden administration, which includes a virtual end to immigration law enforcement, the floodgates will be flung open and God knows how many more millions of illegal aliens will stream across our borders.

When dealing with the number of illegal aliens who would be rewarded for violating our borders and our laws, virtually all estimates ignore the biggest factor- all legalized aliens would have the immediate and absolute right to have their spouses and every one of their minor children be lawfully admitted to join them permanently in the United States.

If, for example, each illegal alien has, on average four minor children, a wildly optimistic estimate, and if 25 million illegal aliens apply for lawful status, more than 100 million immigrants who are not yet here would be permitted to enter the United States!

Imagine the impact and consequences of the massive influx of immigrants would have on our economy, on critical infrastructure, on inflation as 100 million new immigrants need such basics as food, clothing and housing.

These children would be enrolled in our already crumbling school systems and the majority would likely not be proficient in the English language.

Today because of the COVID-19 pandemic many hospitals around the United States are overwhelmed.  Imagine the impact on our already overwhelmed healthcare system that would result from adding tens of millions of more immigrants to our population. 

There would be no way for USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) to interview tens of millions of immigrants and absolutely no way to conduct field investigations. 

Adding to this is the Biden administration’s pick for the pivotal position of Director of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas who had been a high-rating official at DHS during the Obama administration.  He had been investigated by the Office of Inspector General for improperly approving applications for EB-5 visas because of apparent political purposes.  He was also notorious for ordering the approval of applications for a wide variety fo applications for immigration benefits at USCIS ordering that these hapless adjudications officers “Get to yes!"

I wrote about the malfeasance of Mr. Mayorkas in my article,  Biden's DHS: Department of Homeland Surrender.

Here is an excerpt from that article:

On March 24, 2015 ABC News reported, Top Homeland Official Alejandro Mayorkas Accused of Political Favoritism Alejandro Mayorkas oversaw controversial $500,000 visa program.

The above-noted report was preceded by two ABC News reports that were published on February 3, 2015 which illustrate a clear nexus between these visas and national security

Whistleblowers: US Gave Visas to Suspected Forgers, Fraudsters, Criminals Internal documents show feds ignored warnings from FBI.”  This report began with this excerpt:

Officials overseeing a federal program that offers an immigration short-cut to wealthy foreign investors have ignored pointed warnings from federal agents and approved visas for some immigrants suspected of having committed fraud, money laundering, and even one applicant with alleged ties to a child porn website, an ABC News investigation has found. The shortcomings prompted concerns within the Department of Homeland Security that the boutique immigration program would be exploited by terrorists, according to internal documents obtained by ABC News.

It is irrefutable that Biden’s massive amnesty program for tens of millions of illegal aliens would have catastrophic and irrevocable implications for national security and that the appointment of Mayorkas would exacerbate this threat to our nation.

To amplify this point, consider this unequivocal statement from the report that was prepared by the 9/11 Commission staff, 9/11 and Terrorist Travel that incorporated specific examples of the way that the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993 that killed six and injured more than one thousand victims.

Once terrorists had entered the United States, their next challenge was to find a way to remain here. Their primary method was immigration fraud. For example, Yousef and Ajaj concocted bogus political asylum stories when they arrived in the United States. Mahmoud Abouhalima, involved in both the World Trade Center and landmarks plots, received temporary residence under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers (SAW) program, after falsely claiming that he picked beans in Florida.” Mohammed Salameh, who rented the truck used in the bombing, overstayed his tourist visa. He then applied for permanent residency under the agricultural workers' program but was rejected. Eyad Mahmoud Ismail, who drove the van containing the bomb, took English-language classes at Wichita State University in Kansas on a student visa; after he dropped out, he remained in the United States out of status.

The Britannica website furnished additional information about the World Trade Center bombing of 1993.

On December 26, 2020 Reuters reported, China to leapfrog U.S. as world's biggest economy by 2028: think tank.

This is how this ominous report from Reuters began:

LONDON (Reuters) - China will overtake the United States to become the world's biggest economy in 2028, five years earlier than previously estimated due to the contrasting recoveries of the two countries from the COVID-19 pandemic, a think tank said.

"For some time, an overarching theme of global economics has been the economic and soft power struggle between the United States and China," the Centre for Economics and Business Research said in an annual report published on Saturday.

That assessment did not include the impact that a massive onslaught of immigrants would have on the U.S. economy.  It must be presumed that the Biden Administration’s immigration policies would hasten the day when the economy of China would surpass that of the United States.

Undoubtedly the leaders of the communist regime in China would be delighted if Mr. Biden gets his way, as would the leaders of Russia, Iran, North Korea and other adversaries of the United States.

The one question that should be asked by the reporters who will cover the White House once Joe Biden is sworn in is, “Why, why would you do this to America and Americans?”

Given the state of politics and supposed journalism today, I am not holding my breath to hear that question being asked of Joe Biden or his Presidential heir apparent, Kamala Harris.

Biden names lead US negotiator of the Iran nuclear deal to be deputy secretary of state

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2021/01/biden-names-lead

EXCERPT:

The lead US negotiator of the Iran nuclear accord and a battle-tested hawk on Russia were named Saturday to top posts in President-elect Joe Biden’s State Department, signaling a return to a more traditional, multilateral approach after Donald Trump’s chaotic presidency.

Wendy Sherman, who brokered the Iran accord under Barack Obama and negotiated a nuclear deal with North Korea under Bill Clinton, was named as deputy secretary of state.

Victoria Nuland, a former career diplomat best known for her robust support for Ukrainian protesters seeking the ouster of a Russian-aligned president, was nominated undersecretary for political affairs — the State Department’s third-ranking post, in charge of day-to-day US diplomacy.

Biden to Cancel Keystone XL Pipeline on First Day

SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/reports-biden-to-cancel-keystone-xl-pipeline-on-first-day/

EXCERPT: Several news sources are reporting that Joe Biden will use an executive order to cancel the permits granted to the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office as the nation’s 46th president. If true, this act would be a powerful demonstration that elections have consequences, as President Donald Trump was a huge advocate of the pipeline — a project that has faced both political and legal opposition for its entire existence.

Biden plans 10-day blitz to reverse Trump legacy

SEE: https://www.wnd.com/2021/01/biden-plans-10-day-blitz-reverse-trump-legacy/

EXCERPT: On his first day in office, Joe Biden will issue a dozen executive directives to kick off a 10-day blitz that will include a flurry of legislative proposals aimed at reversing President Trump's legacy, the New York Times reported.

Along with proposing legislation to provide a pathway to citizenship for more than 10 million immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally, Biden will on Inauguration Day:

  • Rescind the ban travel from countries that aid and abet terrorism;
  • Rejoin the Paris climate-change accord
  • Extend pandemic-related limits on evictions and student loan payments.
  • Issue a mask mandate for federal property and interstate travel.

Biden also will ask Congress to pass a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief and economic stimulus package that will include a $15 minimum wage.

Amnesty for Everyone Who Was Here on January 1

SEE: https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2021/01/18/joe-biden-amnesty-for-everyone-who-was-here-on-january-1/

EXCERPT:

President-elect Joe Biden’s amnesty plan will reportedly provide the glittering prize of U.S. citizenship to everyone who can show they were in the United States illegally on January 1, if Congress passes the wage-cutting, nation-changing legislation amid a deep economic recession.

“To qualify, immigrants must have been in the United States as of Jan. 1, a move meant to blunt any rush to the border,” according to a description provided “by transition officials” to the Washington Post.

But the “rush to the border” is likely because migrants and the coyotes’ smuggling industry can backdate documents and forge new identities, especially when the prize is the opportunity to escape their lives in undeveloped countries and then become citizens of the United States of America.

SEE: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/01/19/joe-biden-selects-pennsylvania-transgender-health-official-rachel-levine-for-hhs/

EXCERPT:

President-elect Joe Biden announced Tuesday he had chosen Dr. Rachel Levine to serve as the assistant secretary of health for the Department of Health and Human Services.

Levine, born Richard Levine, is an openly transgender individual and would mark the first transgender official confirmed by the United States Senate, if approved.

Levine is currently the Secretary of Health for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in charge of the local response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Levine joins Biden's Health and Human Services secretary nominee Xavier Becerra, a Latino politician who rose from humble beginnings to serve in Congress and as California’s attorney general.

EXCERPTS: Levine, a male who identifies as female, faced harsh criticism for removing his mother from a personal care home during the COVID-19 pandemic after he had directed nursing facilities to admit people who had previously tested positive for COVID-19. The elderly are at particular risk for the virus. In May, multiple members of the Pennsylvania State House demanded Levine’s resignation over “the horrific results of the [health] department’s COVID-19 policy” on nursing homes and other facilities under the department’s oversight. More than half (10,022) of Pennsylvania’s 19,390 COVID-19 deaths can be traced back to long-term care facilities

Are Mitch McConnell and His Wife Financially Tied to Communist China?

Are Mitch McConnell and His Wife Financially Tied to Communist China?

Following the money has always been the surest way to finding where a politician’s true loyalties lie.

Peter Schweizer, a senior contributor for Breitbart and author of such exposés as Clinton Cash and Profiles in Corruptionsaid on Fox News’ The Next Revolution that McConnell’s “position on China has softened over the years,” a change Schweizer attributed to the growing relationship between the Chinese government and the Chao family’s company.

“Really, it goes to the fact that Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao, his wife, are financially tied to the Chinese government,” Schweizer explained. “And it comes through the shipbuilding company that Elaine Chao’s family owns. That relationship was forged in December of 1993 when James Chao, Elaine Chao’s father, Elaine Chao, and the new son-in-law, Senator Mitch McConnell, visited Beijing, China, at the invitation of the China state shipbuilding corporation.”

“This was a coup to Beijing because Tiananmen square had happened just four years earlier. Very few high officials went there,” the author continued. “The result of that meeting and the deals that followed is that today the Chinese government finances the construction of the ships for the shipbuilding company, they build the ships, they provide the crews for the ship, and they provide the cargo for the ship.”

He went on to explain that Beijing could immediately end its dealings with the shipbuilding corporation if it wanted to, which would be bad for McConnell. The Chinese government, according to Schweizer, only does business with this corporation because of McConnell’s role as a powerful U.S. Senator.

“So, the Chinese government could pull the plug tomorrow on this business. And the reason they’re doing business with them, let’s make it clear, is because Mitch McConnell is a very powerful figure in Washington, D.C. And the problem is … that his position on China has softened over the years the closer that this commercial relationship has become, and he’s a direct beneficiary of what this business does.”

Per Schweizer, this is the “strategy” communist China uses around the world. “They seek out political elites and give them commercial deals,” he said, adding that the McConnells are “wedded to the Chinese. They don’t want to anger the Chinese because they could destroy their families financially.”

McConnell will remain Majority Leader until noon on January 20, with the inauguration of Joe Biden. Kamala Harris’ ascendance to the vice presidency will give Democrats (due to the vice president’s role as president of the Senate with tie-breaking ability) the voting majority they need to assume control of the chamber.

As The New American has previously reported, McConnell is apparently pleased with the impeachment of President Trump, seeing it as a way to purge the party of him.

Nevertheless, in the battle for the hearts of Republican voters, Donald Trump remains the unquestioned victor. Polling shows that a solid majority of the base still supports the president’s recent behavior and would like him to be the 2024 presidential candidate.

It should be noted that McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, was until recently President Trump’s secretary of transportation. She resigned from the post in response to the Capitol breach on January 6.

“Yesterday our country experienced a traumatic and entirely avoidable event as supporters of the President stormed the Capitol following a rally he addressed,” wrote Chao in a letter to colleagues in the Department of Transportation. “As I’m sure is the case with many of you, it has deeply troubled me in a way that I simply cannot set aside.”

McConnell has shown himself to be, if anything, an astute and cunning politician who knows how to stay at the center of Washington politics and use the influence of his office for his own financial benefit, constantly winning over the Republican base with some crumbs here and there but ultimately betraying the people to his masters in the establishment every time it really matters.

If Americans really want to be rid of McConnell and swamp rats like him, they must be prepared to assume a greater level of responsibility. The Republican leader won his reelection bid in the GOP primary with over 80 percent of the vote in 2020. Why do voters seem so determined to continue voting in the snakes who bit them before and will inevitably bite them again in the future?

 

More Censorship: CNN Calls on Cable Companies to Ban OAN & Newsmax

More Censorship: CNN Calls on Cable Companies to Ban OAN & Newsmax

The socialist technocrats are moving onto their next logical targets.

Speaking on CNN, liberal Alex Stamos told host Brian Stelter that television providers must cut off access to the outlets One America News (OAN) and Newsmax, which are considered by right-of-center audiences to be more truthful than mainstream media companies.

“We are going to have to figure out the OAN and Newsmax problem. These companies have freedom of speech, but I’m not sure we need Verizon, AT&T, Comcast and such bringing them into tens of millions of homes,” said Stamos.

CNN senior reporter Oliver Darcy, who tweeted the exchange between Stamos and Stelter, agreed with the sentiment, writing: “Just a reminder that neither @Verizon, @ATT, nor @comcast have answered any questions about why they beam channels like OAN and Newsmax into millions of homes. Do they have any second thoughts about distributing these channels given their election denialism content. They won’t say?”

First off, the clear propaganda behind Darcy’s rhetoric deserves pointing out. Notice how he calls it “election denialism” for someone, such as the journalists at OAN and Newsmax, to cover the abundant evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

The phrase sounds similar to “holocaust denialism” and is intended to have the effect of shutting down anyone who discusses the problems with Joe Biden’s supposed “win” by making them appear ignorant and bigoted. It also tries to turn the storming of the Capitol on January 6 into an event akin to the Holocaust, and by association brand anyone who questions whether Biden legitimately won the election as an advocate of political violence.

The establishment has already taken down Twitter alternative Parler thanks to the coordinated efforts of Google, Apple, and Amazon (the former two blocked the social-media platform from their app stores; the latter kicked Parler off its servers).

Meanwhile, Facebook, Twitter, and other Tech giants are banning conservatives left and right. That includes the president of the United States, Donald Trump, himself.

Despite claiming for years that they were suspicious of the power of big business, the Left is increasingly treating multinational corporations, especially those of Silicon Valley, as the 4th Branch of Government, acting — in coordination with socialists in government — to silence, deplatform, and otherwise prohibit the participation of conservatives in their services.

The situation is becoming increasingly dangerous for those who refuse to bow before the radical Left. Getting booted off a social-media site is one thing. But being prevented from even being able to broadcast a station to the public is a much tougher obstacle to overcome. So is being able to carry out financial transactions.

The end goal of the establishment is to get such control over the economy that they can deny services to any and all dissidents. Are you guilty of “hate speech” (which leftists will soon define as anyone holding views to the right of Karl Marx)? Expect to have your bank account frozen,  your access to supermarkets denied, your phone terminated, and even your electricity shut off.

If you’re naive enough to buy a smart car, they will even make sure your car doesn’t run if you’re a thought criminal. And remember how the Left is always championing public transportation? That’s because it’s so much easier to control and deny people movement when they depend on a state-run or state-contracted entity for their transportation needs rather than having that ability in their own hands in the form of an automobile.

Starting a business is hard as it is. Trying to create a new financial and technological ecosystem that gives conservatives alternatives to the institutions currently dominated by the Left (and, ultimately, by the Deep State) would be Herculean. But it’s an effort that must be undertaken if constitutionalist Americans hope to break free from control by the global elites.

President Trump has yet to reveal what his post-presidency plans are, though he and his supporters have hinted at everything from a news network to a super PAC. One thing the wealthy New Yorker, or other conservatives with money to invest, would do well to consider is an investment firm that can provide seed funds to the many different new enterprises that must be launched for Americans to escape from under the thumb of Big Brother.
