'Right-Friendly' Social Media Enters 'Wild West' Phase

4/15/2021

Mike Lindell is set to launch a huge social media venture this weekend. FrankSpeech is going live in a weekend massive beta phase this weekend for those who sign up before Midnight Thursday night. On Monday the gates will all be open for a huge week of special features. Lindell's skills in promotion are legendary and this event demonstrates his skills in a whole new way.
Ten years ago, the the world's biggest advocates for free speech were managing Facebook, Twitter, Skype, YouTube, & the iTunes empires. Then the China media market got too attractive and they each kowtowed to communist thugs & sold their souls (assuming they ever had righteous souls).
The powerful influence of Donald Trump then threatened their empires by challenging them to live up to their creeds. So the big 5 decided to drop the pretenses and just started banning all sorts of political opinion and even hard news events which were inconvenient to their global goals of domination.

Along the way we saw foreshadows of this Orwellian oppression when the InfoWars media got deplatformed in a coordinated racketeering operation. Podcasting and website became Alex Jones' only means of communicating. Even the banking services industry conspired with the racketeering plot by removing electronic transaction services from the Infowars commerce operations.
This led to the growth of alternatives like UgeTube(by Utah Gun Exchange), BitChute, MeWe(a facebook alternative), & Parler (a twitter alternative).

Along the way we saw Gab, Rumble, & Clout enter the fray. As a result, the socially engaged on the right are currently splintered several ways and none of the current platforms are consolidating into the dominating roles that Twitter, Facebook, & YouTube have been.

Mike Lindell took time last summer to talk with SoonerPolitics founder, David Van Risseghem; about some of his business & political ventures.

So Lindell is seeking to shake up the culture with his social media venture. Never mind the fact that he's still a leading political figure and likely to run for governor of Minnesota, next year.
Last June I caught up with Lindell at the Trump rally in Tulsa. He was at the outdoor stage when I yelled "governor!" When his eyes perked up and he looked around, I waved him over. We talked logistics and I told him of my Central Minnesota roots and a family member who's been a mayor there. We began discussing the ground game and I made some calls on his behalf, then reported back to him after he got done with his stage time.
Lindell had also been rumored to be challenging Ilhan Omar for congress. He told me that was a fake, designed to keep her off ballance and limit her influence outside Minnesota during the 2020 cycle.

"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic. I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.

Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.
