WRSA Site Shut Down by WordPress

The latest round of the censorship war: On Tuesday afternoon, the Western Rifle Shooters Association (WRSA) web site was shut down by WordPress — ostensibly for “content violations”. The WRSA site has always been outspokenly pro-2A. I find the timing of when their site was axed very suspicious. You see, most recently, they re-posted the late Mike Vanderboegh’s serialized book titled Absolved, all in one piece. Apparently that raised the ire and invoked The Author-I-Tahh of the leftist, anti-gun WordPress gnomes.

Other conservative and libertarian people and organizations that use WordPress for site hosting should take note, and make immediate plans to migrate to other servers! Be proactive, or you too may end up “down the memory hole.”

Fear not. The WRSA’s primary writer has already begun posting on GAB. They can’t stop the signal!

Way too many Pro Gun, Pro Constitution, Pro anything pro right or Republican are being shut down due to the fact most free web site hosts are controlled and run by Democraps!

If some one really wanted folks like us opened a web site hosting there would be a bunch of folks that would do buisness with them. Revenue would roll in from more well endowed fiscally blessed groups and advertising.

Hopefully the RNC would help get the program rolling. If nothing else maybe a group of well to do folks who contribute like Soros does to the Democraps!

They can shut us down on their platforms. However they can't shut off your radio. The internet broadcasters should seriously consider going back to shortwave like in the 90's. WBCQ doesn't censor anyone.

Yes, ConSigCor, those were the good days when Mark Koernke had the Intel Report on WWCR shortwave for one hour Monday thru Friday.

Hawk45, I think most patriots are too honest and uncompromising (like many refusing to live near a large population center) to be well-to-do.

It looks like some of Western Rifle Shooters is still open at:
http://westernrifleshooters.blogspot.com/2011/05/go-to-new-place-please.html

I see that www.totalresistance.com is no more and that the domain is for sale for $5095.

And here http://www.awrm.net I see that short stories by SBL have been deleted.

The lesson to be learned is never count on anything staying on the internet and never count on the internet staying up. So anytime you see anything good immediately save it to your hard drive and to a flash drive. 64gb flash drives are now about $10 at chinamart (walmart)

The Firefox browser add-on SingleFile works very well to save web pages.

An andriod (operating system) "smart phone" is really just a computer with phone capabilities. They make good saved webpage, file, .pdf, and epub. readers if you install the free googleplay.com app (program) ReadERA https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.readera

You can also save youtube videos to a PC with the free https://www.4kdownload.com/products/product-videodownloader
and you can play them on an android phone with the free VLC player
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc
it will also paly mp3 music.

The ATT andriod phones cost about $40 at Walmart.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/AT-T-PREPAID-LG-Phoenix-4-16GB-Prepaid-Smartphone-Black/981575517
Which is probably below ATT's cost since they suppose you will buy minutes for it every month but I don't buy any minutes since you don't have to buy any minutes for them and you can get free wi-fi on them at many locations.

Many libraries let you look at the internet for free on their computers. Some libraries don't allow you to plug in a flash diver into their computers to save files but most computers besides the front USB port also have a rear USB port that most librarians won't notice a USB drive plugged into.

To read the files on any flash drive with an andriod phone unplug the charging cord from the AC adapter then plug the smaller micro USB end of the cord into the smart phone, then plug a double female USB adapter into the larger USB end of the charging cord, then plug a flash drive into the other end of the double ended female USB adapter. You can get a double ended female USB adapter for $5 here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254427100433?ul_noapp=true

When there is no more electricity you can recharge it with a plug in cigarette lighter adapter from Walmart for about $5 or a water resistant USB solar charger battery pack for about $18 here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/900000mAh-Dual-USB-Portable-Solar-Battery-Charger-Solar-Power-Bank-For-Phone-USA/392629816754?hash=item5b6a8f8db2:m:m-BrC-JTxjkbsFf1irCSL1g

If you want a larger screen all the above also applies to Andriod Tablet computers.

I wonder what happened to JC. He went dark several years ago.

Change is coming. Not sure if we will like the brave new world.

Be well my friends.

You think the market would support a freedom oriented web hosting service? I would love to start something like that. I work in the tech industry but I am not sure I have the time, resources, and knowledge to set something like that up entirely on my own. I think it would take several partners who were invested in the effort.

Patriot / conservative websites like AWRM should be on their own in house server. But that's way beyond my pay grade and budget.

WRSA is back up. This from concerned American:

Quote

Forward

First off, fuck WordPress – and thanks be to them for forcing me to get serious.

We’re in the process of rebooting.

This place will be a work in progress.

Not sure how much of the old shop will be salvageable.

At REDFOR’s current op tempo, we had better keep most of our folks looking 360 for real-time threats.

Thank you for your kind words and offers, thank you for your readership, and thank you for your continuing support of WRSA.

Spread the word, please.
