Alex Jones' (and Other Alt-Media Persons') Access to Commerce
I am a regular listener to Alex Jones (he's the natural counter-balance to the MSM, IMO). Lately, he's been expressing concern about losing access to credit card services and banking.
If there's anyone among my subscribers who has a line to Infowars, could you maybe suggest that they start getting serious about setting up crypto funding infrastructure? At a bare minimum, they should be setting up a Coinbase account with cold wallet backups.
Also, as the financial environment continues to become more inhospitable towards alternative voices, we need to encourage everyone to get on the crypto train. Everyone should have Bitcoin. Everyone should have Monero. Everyone should have Steem. That's at a minimum. Truly, the more diversified, the better. Ethereum, EOS, Bitshares and Cardano are also fine choices. But we all need to be ready for an immanent reality such that we no longer have access to fiat.

I think Alex Jones over states his case and fails to understand the biases behind his own positions.
So, I chose not to listen to InfoWars.
It really ticks me off that Google and the other big players are choosing for me. I hope his censuring brings people out of big social media and into niche markets.
He definitely overstates his case. However, his approach, while wild and overblown in and of itself, is actually completely appropriate from a reciprocity point of view, vis a vis the MSM. The MSM always buries the lead. Alex Jones can be relied upon to doggedly dig it back up.
I think that either Trump will engage in some trust busting, or people who are not leftists will be forced out of those platforms. I think it's simply inevitable that one of those two things will happen. I also think that a certain amount of trust-busting will happen regardless, because google and apple are attempting to prevent alternative platforms from gaining traction by banning their apps (which is what they did to Gab).
