“Gab, bills itself as the free-speech alternative to Facebook and Twitter, has become a haven for far-right extremists. The site does not police hate speech, instead encouraging users to take advantage of its tools to filter out posts they find offensive.” apple.news/AMbyPIuKpSmSCe…
“Gab held a second round of fundraising on StartEngine that attracted more than 1,000 investors. In 2017, Gab raised $1.1M during a similar campaign that was boosted by a crackdown on hate speech on mainstream platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.”

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
He was kicked out of the Y Combinator’s alumni network for threatening & harassing other YC founders.
techcrunch.com/2016/11/12/pro…
He posted this on his Facebook: "All of you: fuck off. Take your morally superior, elitist, virtue signaling bullshit and shove it. I call it like I see it, and I helped meme a President into office, cucks."
Adrian Abed is the other co-founder of Gab. He's into Cryptos.
"The Barbados-based entrepreneur is internationally-acknowledged as a pioneer in the digital currency evolution, having led the movement of Central Bank issued Cryptocurrencies and frontiered discussions on...
the subject of ‘Blockchain Technology’ at the Caribbean Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, the United Nations, the Commonwealth Secretariat, multiple Central Bank forums and other world stages."

Here's Torba on Alex Jones.
Torba on Breitbart.

“If I had to pick a single event that pushed me over the edge to take action and found Gab,” Torba told Breitbart in August, “I would have to say it was the suppression of conservative sources and stories by the incredibly biased Facebook trending topics team.”
Guess he's part of the young and up-and-coming Alt-Right pack?!? Who knew...

Ekrem Büyükkaya is listed as another co-founder of Gab.
"Ekrem has served as Gab's Chief Technology Officer since the company's inception in 2016, and has led all engineering development and product management to-date."

White nationalist leader Richard B Spencer predicted a few years ago that Gab would be “the place where we go next”.
washingtonpost.com/news/post-nati…
Gab's been described as "...a strange world of Trump worship, white nationalism, racism, conspiracy theory, gun idolatry and crass humor, all of it delivered with the righteous conviction of total certainty."
theguardian.com/media/2016/dec…
It's raised almost $6 million through 2 rounds of crowdfunding.

Peter Thiel was also kicked out of Y Combinator.
siliconbeat.com/2017/11/17/pet…
"I got my Gab shares thanks to a relatively new ruling from the SEC that allows amateur investors to play venture capitalist on a small scale. This new ruling, known as regulation crowdfunding, was recognized by the SEC on May 16, 2016."

“...one of his clients was 401 North Wabash Venture, LLC, the Trump International Hotel & Tower. Burke began representing Trump’s 92-story condo and hotel in 2006 and over the past decade he has saved (Trump) $14.1M in property taxes.” politico.com/magazine/story…
“When Burke’s tax objections were denied, he took Trump’s case to court. Burke’s firm filed six lawsuits against the Cook County treasurer, alleging that the Trump Tower’s assessment “is not based upon the fair market value of the property and is excessive, and is illegal...”
“In fact, Burke’s most recent suit was filed on May 31, 2017, four months after Trump was sworn in as president. So far, one suit has been dismissed, while the rest are still pending in Cook County Circuit Court.”

Gab Vanishes, & the Internet Shrugs: lawfareblog.com/gab-vanishes-a…
This is the equivalent of Julia Ioffe making stupid comments on CNN (done today), then going & committing an evil act, then CNN being taken off the air because of HER actions. Hope she holds it together for CNN's sake.
'Before Oct. 27, relatively few people were familiar with Gab, the social network developed as an alternative to Twitter & Facebook. By the end of the day, however, media outlets from Reuters to CNN had issued “explainers” on Gab as an online haven for far-right extremism online'

The shutdown of Gab is NOT about a shooter’s posts on social media. They shut down Gab to prevent millions of Americans from joining a social media site that allows free speech. When Gab hit the msm today, MILLIONS of people heard about them for the first time. @getongab #Gab
Gab has been blocked from Apple & Google app stores. They have done everything they can to keep people from using it. Why is big tech trying so hard to control what you see and hear? Trying to keep the sheep in the pen? ?
The deep state MUST be able to control your media in order to control your mind. Tv, movies, music, msm, big tech, social media, etc. The deep state controls and censors it ALL! #gab

All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…

1) Most of #history is a total lie, designed by people wanting to infer meaning of historical events in a modern context, as a means to elicit a response from you which suits their needs.

This is a story about the #rothschilds from the early 20th century.

#QAnon #GreatAwakening
2) Even within this tweetstorm are probably a lot of missing nuances. Do tell your stories.

I will start after #WWI and the Treaty of Versailles. It never made sense. Why divide #Germany in these pieces and leave it's people impoverished? Isn't this a recipe for resentment?
3) Why did the #Germans, even though a foreign boot never shot a boot on their soil, make overtures of peace to end the #war, while they were poised to win?

Their objectives were met.

Why was the #USA brought into WWI? Why were large payments sent to #communist #Russia? #QAnon
