Anyone, whether individual or organization, that fights for free speech and denies the woke culture of their attacks against “hate speech” will invariably be hit by the Globalist Elite Cabal, China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, or even our own Deep State. Some would argue the various bad guys are one in the same.
Today, it’s free speech video platform Rumble and their supporting project, Locals, that have been targeted. China is currently being blamed for the attack by some, but there are those who believe it is an attack by other elements who want free speech quashed.
Popular podcaster Viva Frei noted on Twitter:
I was planning to go live, but Rumble and Locals are down. Apparently it is a massive, unprecedented attack. One that is likely politically motivated.
If I have any updates, I will let everyone know.
Godspeed Rumble!

This was confirmed by Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski:
I can confirm that this attack has been unprecedented and has been happening since this weekend.
I also suspect it is political, coming from activists and/or organizations who want to censor our creators, and related to J6 videos being posted on Rumble.

According to 100% Fed Up:
Online hackers affiliated with China’s People’s Liberation Army have infiltrated critical services in the United States, according to a report by The Washington Post.
Hackers reportedly targeted key services, such as power grids and ports.
“A utility in Hawaii, a West Coast port and a pipeline are among the victims in the past year, officials say,” the outlet wrote.
“It is very clear that Chinese attempts to compromise critical infrastructure are in part to pre-position themselves to be able to disrupt or destroy that critical infrastructure in the event of conflict,” Brandon Wales, Executive Director of DHS Cyber Security Agency, said.
Whoever is behind it, this attack is massive in scale and has the potential to spark long-term disruptions of sites, apps, and services across the internet.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
