Andrew Riddaugh, a former President Trump campaign and White House Advance Lead, has launched a company called LiberationTek, that seeks to release us from the thrall of Big Tech's surveillance, censorship, debanking and data harvesting. Riddaugh has cloud hosting services -- competing with Amazon's -- and this is really important for the future of dissent, free speech, and even capitalism in a digital era, because it means that businesses, media sites and individuals can't have the "plug pulled" by Big Tech hosting platforms. He also has a product competitive to MailChimp's email service -- which is important for a similar reason. Microsoft, Amazon. MailChimp, Stripe, Paypal, Chase and other entities have all shown a willingness or at least a compliance with anti-conservative or even anti-independent censorship and debanking. Meeting sites such as Zoom, have security vulnerabilities. Lastly, Riddaugh is even building his own data centers -- massive physical structures -- that he says will be a step ahead of existing data centers, as they won't require the same costly technology for cooling.
The list of fines paid out for “data privacy violations and antitrust practices” by these tech companies is staggering, as is the speed at which they were paid.
Most people are still getting used to "billion with a B." When dealing with the Bigs (pHarma, tech, retail, oil, agriculture, food, Medicine, universities, sports, entertainment, Government, etc), we need to learn to think in terms of Trillion with a T.
I hope he succeeds! The way big tech pays off fines reminds me of how big pharma does so too. Very hard to fight. David vs. Goliath. Praying for LiberationTek to succeed. Keep us posted. Thank you! Sabrinalabow.substack.com
I am really impressed that Dr Wolf promotes an anti-Amazon rant while urging folks to support Daily Clout, an apparent sponsor of Outspoken with Dr Naomi Wolf, through Amazon. That's pretty cool.
Thank God there is a person with money and sense taking the inniative, lets hope millions come on board to counter the attack on our democracy, fight tech... with tech.
In the light of the election less than six months away, this platform seems to be a day late - and hopefully not a dollar short. Considering the problems with the last election, and what appears to be more of the same in October/November, why was this platform not up and running two years ago? Everyone knows the Dems always have yet more trickzees up their sleevzies - so we are aware the only counter is preparedness.
And the Dems always seem to have limitless infrastructure funds, so where are the GOP bucks to put in place those structures that could tackle what will surely be another round of election day(s) woes. LibTek could have become mainstream alt and folks would be assured there was less censorship, greater ability to anticipate genuine, reliable search results, and more privacy.
Happy to read of this venture - and may it flourish - but, dang, it's frustrating it is coming too late for this election.
Big Tech = the New World order! All by design to ensure we are controlled and kept in our place.
Will other vax initiated diseases and illnesses overtake myocarditis, blood clots and turbo-cancers. It seems there are few illnesses that are not promoted by the impact of useless but DEADLY INJECTIONS tast atre designed to depopulate the planet, whilst making fortunes for Big Pharma who can legally DENY LIABILITY for any/all adverse reactions tat occur following the use of mRNA gene editing jabs.
Would anybody accept being GENETICALLY MODIFIED by participating in a MEDICAL EXPERIMENT?
Would any person with a brain accept any new EXPERIMENTAL Medicines, particularly with novel design 'mRNA poisons' that are known to be unreliable, unstable and unpredictable. These new breed of 'medicines' are designed to kill, injure or simply reduce LIFE EXPECTANCY for the VAX recipients? Never again!
The numbers don't look good for Pfizer et al,. Just as well they recorded 74 Billion in Vax profits in 2021 & 2022 Also, it's great that they are still allowed to avoid all/any LIABILITY for Vax Injuries and Vax-related DEATHS - otherwise, they'd be bankrupted from the millions of Claims.

The root cause problem is not "digital slavery" but "economic debt slavery" by corporations posing as governments (local to fed) that can only operate under the color of law in an Admiralty Maritime system (law of contracts) where the only remedies (in a bankrupt country) are in the form of usurious federal reserve notes. The contracts with these corporations must be broken first - we can't have another system no matter how good it looks that still operates within the confines of the same monetary and corporate govt system...that is just doing the same thing as before and expecting a different result...the definition of insanity
I signed up with Liberation Tech about a month ago and needed help to get things set up. The customer service was very good and I had top personnel helping me very expertly until we had it figured out. Very happy with joining Liberation Tech!
THANK YOU for covering this very important man and his ambitious endeavor to restore liberty before it is too late. I truly believe that his efforts will either be the rebirth of Liberty or the death of another good man. I pray for him to succeed beyond his wildest expectations.
Wish someone could tell us who we can report the censorship to. When a friend posted or tried to post on FB that the U.S. is a constitutional republic she was told it was misinformation and was warned not to do it again and of course it was not posted. These people will steal the next election using the media and their slimy tactics. We definitely need help in stopping this nonsense.
The U.S. was formed as a Constitutional Republic but that didn't last very long. The legislature, executive and judicial branches long ago overstepped the clearly articulated delineations of their authority and the U.S. became an administrative state where unelected bureaucrats (agency secretaries) establish laws and regulations rather than the legislature, the president rules like a dictator through executive orders, and the judiciary are more like politicized judges that rule based upon their own preferences.
We could have the divided states. Let the blue folks run their states into the ground but they can’t come to the red states for help. Maybe, just maybe they would learn but then again some never do.
Technically your friend could arguably be said to be wrong. The US was a constitutional republic. No later than the popular election of senators, the establishment of the IRS and Federal Reserve Bank in 1913 could it be argued that we became something else.
You may well be right but the censorship goons are going to like the constitutional republic assertion more than yours, which probably proves you are right.
It's a lot more then where and how a "cloud" is posted. He would need to offer hardware to the masses where the hardware and software aren't sending data to whoever. Most of all, he would need to come up with a market strategy where he can make money without data mining, probably some sort of "pay to play" thing which has been a hard sell to people used to free stuff. It's a big challenge.
As far as hardware is concerned; I, myself, prefer unlocked Motorola phones purchased directly from Motorola for ease in rooting and modding / de-Googling. Lately, I've been getting them from a disabled gentleman I know in Baltimore who takes care of the heavy lifting for me. Linux Mint is the OS of choice and runs on most of my computers at home and I'm moving away from Google as much as I can.
NextCloud is a service similar to what Mr. Riddaugh is working on and offers many of the conveniences that Google offers (their Task list offering is actually superior to Google). I've been moving my stuff there and encourage others to do the same.
I'm certainly not 'into' tech, never owned a cellphone never mind a smart phone. Just a desktop for wanted info and news. But I'm leery of any new thing in the tech world especially something this big. I just wonder if such a huge effort could truly be made against the megacorps or if it's just intelligence $$$ saying 'here's a new safe system' and years from now everyone finds out they had backdoor access all the time. I still can't quite get over that at the same time this thing called a cloud became available to everyone was right around the time the intelligence agencies finished their MEGA data center in Utah.
Can't argue your point, Paul. You really DON'T know. Worse of all, very few people CAN know. Even with open source code, there are only a handful of programmers who have both the ability to follow the code and are of a libertarian mindset - and they might not catch everything. I have been a programmer for many years and let me be the first to tell you that YOU SHOULD NEVER TRUST TECHNOLOGY. Of course, we really must trust it to a certain extent - technology provides and supports the infrastructure that allows billions of people to live on this planet - but you should always question technology and you should avoid it where possible. Certainly, placing a vote into some black technogadget and expecting it to come out whole on the other end is naivety in the extreme.
Can you share more details of your de-Googled phone? I have seen that Rob Braxton offers them, but I would be curious to hear about more providers... thanks.
First off, forget about iPhone. The operating system of the iPhone is dependent on Apple Servers for basic operation. You can never truly separate an iPhone from Apple.
As far as Android phones are concerned, many have de-Googled Android operating systems (ROMs) available but the real crux is the bootloader - the software at the heart of the phone that loads everything else - can the bootloader be unlocked on the phone you are interested in so that you can load a different, hopefully de-Googled ROM?
Some phones, such as the Fairphone (EU only) and OnePlus, when purchased from the manufacturer, can be unlocked without the manufacturer's consent (I would own a OnePlus except I prefer phones with more features that accept SD cards). Some phones; such as Motorola, when purchased as unlockable from the manufacturer, can be unlocked with a little know-how and a trip to the Motorola website (Caution: your warranty is now void! ;-) ). Other phones, such as Samsung, are notoriously difficult to unlock and requires more time and effort then I'm willing to put into the phone - that's why I generally stick with Motorola phones.
Be careful where you buy your phones, though. For example, many phones from Amazon have locked bootloaders - I will never buy another phone from Amazon because they have lied in their advertising about phones being unlockable, much to my chagrin.
Lately, I have been getting all my phones from a disabled gentleman in Baltimore. He makes his living selling de-Googled phones and he's an honest man, which makes it easy to deal with him. It also means that I don't have to do the heavy lifting (bootloader unlocking / ROM installation) myself.
There are many places that offer custom ROMs without Google. LineageOS is one such place. HavocOS is very popular. My favorite ROM provider is from the /e/ Foundation, also known as Murena. It is a European-based company that not only offers decent ROMs but also an ecosystem similar to Google in many respects - this makes it a lot easier to use. Murena also sells phones with /e/ already installed. Both Lineage OS and Murena have instructions on their website specific to each phone manufacturer and model to help you get the ROM on your phone and both have forums where you can ask questions. Murena even has an "easy installer" that will do the ROM installation for you - but select phones only.
As far as MVNOs are concerned, I've tried several, including Consumer Cellular, Mint Mobile and Pure Talk as well as my current MVNO, Patriot Mobile. No matter who you go with, I will tell you this much - AT&T ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES YOU TO HAVE GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK INSTALLED ON YOUR PHONE BEFORE LETTING YOU ON ITS TOWERS and it checks for the presence of the GSF several times a year - this makes it really difficult to use AT&T with a completely de-Googled phone. If you must use AT&T, the Open GAPPS project will allow you to install as little or as much of Google as you need. It kinda defeats the purpose but at least your phone isn't full of bloatware as it would be if fully Googled.
Even though the service isn't the best in my area, all my phones are on Verizon through my Patriot Mobile MVNO. I'm planning on buying a cellphone signal booster later this year so that I don't have to worry about weak signals anymore - Bolton offers 2 different cellphone signal booster models for the home - being in Ham Radio, I am familiar with their company and know they make decent stuff.
Well, I've chatted enough to melt your ears off. Hope this answered your questions.
Thank you very much! I run Linux Mint on my laptop, but am a little bit more worried about my phone…. I will check out the sites and companies you mentioned.
Mike Adams has created brighteon.io which is an SM app that doesn’t need the internet to function. Completely decentralized. Cannot be censored, taken down.
We need real search engines that find things, like google used to be. You cannot get balanced reporting, and even innocuous queries get just a few replies. Gab has created an AI engine that looks up stuff and you can find out favorable info on Trump, for example.
This is the way to go. Other people should consider doing the same thing.
We need open sourced, decentralized versions of social media like Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, etc. It's the ONLY WAY we're going to be able to counter all of this censorship that keeps happening.
The despicable unelected unaccountable head of the EU (Ursula von der Leyen) said openly at Davos that the WEF’s main priority is suppressing « disinformation » i.e. their priority is CENSORSHIP OF DISSENT.
The equally despicable son-of-a-nazi, Klaus Schwab, said the same thing.
If they suppress even the few outlets we have now, we’re in trouble. We’ll have no exchange of information & ideas - just WEF propaganda. So we need to support as many independent platforms as possible.
The list of fines paid out for “data privacy violations and antitrust practices” by these tech companies is staggering, as is the speed at which they were paid.

Thanks Naomi, I neglected to mention that this effort should marry perfectly to the UP
(Unplugged) Phone which I consider the single greatest development for privacy of the last 30yrs at least.

I think the globalists want us to have a huge civil war.
The global mafia want to destroy America & Russia - the 2 powerful countries where significant percentages of the population oppose Global Government.
America & Russia are the 2 main obstacles to the WEF-CCP global government project.
(Once the global government is consolidated, the WEF club & the CCP leaders will turn on each other.)
That last part is a no brainer for everyone but the globalists. Funny how evil always overlooks that part in its schemes.
Some of us have been saying we are likely to have a civil war if things don’t turn around..
If we divided into 2 sides and put on uniforms, it would be decided in a week.
We could have the divided states. Let the blue folks run their states into the ground but they can’t come to the red states for help. Maybe, just maybe they would learn but then again some never do.
It is always interesting to see what is being censored. It tells you what the goons are thinking. Thanks for posting.
Technically your friend could arguably be said to be wrong. The US was a constitutional republic. No later than the popular election of senators, the establishment of the IRS and Federal Reserve Bank in 1913 could it be argued that we became something else.
We are an oligarchy wearing the skin suit of a constitutional republic.
Standing ovation!
