What is Trapdooring? It's a Bait-And-Switch Technique to Destroy Your Time, Your Effort, Your Content, And To Remind You That You Are Nothing And Have No Power. Not my content, reposting from C_S_T on the other site (probably the only good sub left) Trapdooring is a Technique to Make You Feel Awful and Small and Irrelevant, and It's the Litmus Test for Technofascism. The Dominator societies use this technique to create "learned helplessness" or "cultural stockholms' syndrome". It's used to shut you down, shut you out and yes maybe even make you want to kill yourself. This is why it is dangerous, and why I am bringing it to your attention. Some people believe their work is everything to them, so if you steal their work and make that work about something opposite to what it was intended to be, then you corrupt the idea and you destroy not just that person's work but that persons' motivation, aspiration and vision. IP theft isn't just something that China is known for, our own security contractors used by the intelligence community have been known for this as well--corporate theft. Leader Technologies, for example, has sued Facebook and others in the US governement, over claims of creating the key technologies that made Facebook successful, technologies without which they wouldn't have been. Facebook, they say, stole Leader Technology and Michael McKibben's work. This IP theft, ip destruction is the hallmark of a technofascist, himself recognizeable by the trait of anticompetition, and it's why so many people--like myself--use reddit to complain about this particular group of inhuman psychopaths So what is the trapdoor? Trapdoor Technique Takin' out the garbage. Get everyone in a group, standing atop a trap door, then pull the lever: GONE--Down a Chute you go, opposition. People forget so easily the ephemerality of the internet and services: Where is myspace now? It's a fraction of its former self. What about blogger? Livejournal? What happened to geocities? What about all the effort people put into making their profiles? GONE Sad isn't it? None of these sites make it particularly easy to retain and OWN your own content. No, that content is theirs. If they delete their site, they delete up to millions of man hours of content. That's why archivers were created...but it can't capture everything. You have to tell it to archive something. If the scraper doesn't do it on it's own, then your work....is gone Sometimes this happens as a natural consequence of natural selection of websites and services--I get that; and it's not what I"m talking about The trapdoor technique is when the owners of a website or service, they created as an opposition-honeypot, decide to shutter the doors of their own service as just the right time to censor an idea, movement or group that threatens a narrative that would undermine said website owner or the people with whom they associate, in order to cause the maximum psychological 'shutdown' effects in the user base. Some examples Sl.img -- IMGUR, reddits image host was censoring people's images at the time of PIZZAGATE, and so some anonymous person created SLIMG, a very fast, easier img host. Once Pizzagate movement was over, SLIMG disappeared --- 404, and ALL THE LINKS STOPPED WORKING. In essence, they REDACTED all the hotlinked images by closing their service. Everything: Was: Gone VOAT -- Voat was created to address the censorship of Reddit subs, again with pizzagate and other "clinton related issues' during the early to late 2016 period when this was all heating up. People got onto voat, and suddenly, found themselves in a wash of antisemites and anti-homosexual bigot bots that turned everything into a total swamp of fake bigotry by robot shills. None of those accounts were real, btw. Just so you know. We have total confirmation of this. Zion this zion that. I don't want to get into it, but VOAT became a SHILL HONEYPOT and still is largely to this day VOAT used an imghost like SLIMG called GOAT and guess what happened to it? SEE SLIMG for details. Trapdoor: opened Controversial Reddit Subs --- Aaaand BANNED communities. Sorry: all your work: gone. "You f*cking loser technoserf of no control" Duckcuckgo -- I proved years ago, irrefutably so, that DDG was rebranded LYCOS (a shit engine), once Yahoo bought DDG. Their service turned from a context sensitive masterpiece to an inept keyword matching nincompoop; and this was done because Google bought DDG for Yahoo! because Yahoo as you recall was bankrupt (and thus could NOT have bought DDG on its own) because of Marissa Mayer's continually idiotic maneuvers that boggle the mind. Googles deal was "we buy you DDG, Marissa, you make Lycos into DDG (ie crap), and WE (google) remain the prevailing search engine honeypot so we can all continue surveillance capitalism for the CIA and our wall st ad network affiliates (including Yahoo!)---it's a WINWIN" -- DDG is now lycos and it sucks. Trapdoor opened. I think it's MOST funny that DDG was being promoted AFTER it became lycos. This was for maximum churn effect--people go to DDG, realize it sucks, and always always ALWAYS go BACK to DADDYGOOGLE, which is obviously a superior search compared to Everything. (feel free to disagree below in comments, but I can provide evidence of above claims) Archive.is / Archive.today / Archive.ag (all same site) -- Yes it's still up but I noticed it has ways of "Breaking" whenever I try to archive Big League Politics or other "highly controversial and deeply damaging links to news articles about Imran Awan, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, George ZoroZ or Barack Obama". Isn't that something. It can archive unimportant kitty links all day long, but you subsequently post a BLP link and maybe 2/5 times, there's a mysterious cloudflare issue, or site unavailable issue or something wrong with it. Huh. Statistically significant that it's BLP all the time....wonder why that is. And rarely a dailycaller link too. Once Archive.is is gone....ALL YOUR ARCHIVE LINKS WILL STOP WORKING JUST LIKE SLIMG Same with archive.org (the wayback machine) -- there seem to be certain links that it simply WILL NOT archive no matter what you do. And when you coerce it into archiving, what does it archive? A blank white page. Again, it's BLP, and other links, even washington post. There was a post that the Wapo removed because it was fake news that would have gotten them sued and they somehow managed to coordinate with archive.org to get it removed also, there. What they do is they overwrite past snapshots if they exist, with 404 type pages...so it archived a 404 page. This is what I call "archive retroredaction" The fact they do this means they are deepstate controlled on the backend also. Again, at any time, they can trapdoor technique your work, make it disappear GAB dissenter -- I just noticed today that my gab extension on firefox no longer works. I knew that mozilla and chrome colluded to stop this 'free speech' tool, but I didn't know that if I had already installed it, the gab extension would no longer work. So again, Dissenter is yet-another-trapdoor thing. People can argue that 'the deeppstate destroyed Gab dissenter' but I think that's a cover story. I think Gab created this only to be destroyed after getting people accustomed to using it for a period of a month or so, a CRITICAL month, looking back at it. Because people who had the most 'dangerous things to say' were using Dissenter, they WERE NOT using DISQUS and therefore DISSENTER had the unique ability to fragment people into two camps: GENPOP and the REDPILLS // Normies versus the Opposition -- and use of DISSENTER effectively honeypotted people into self-censorship by proxy of a service that was to be shuttered later (IE: TRAPDOOR) GAB, I believe, but cannot prove is like steemit: kontrol grid. I say this because their API stopped working for me, mysteriously, without any changes to MY code or THEIR code. My code gives no error...it returns a success. I went onto gab and realized all of the posts I've reposted (from reddit) were not there. I have paid for GAB PRO, and so I would think they wouldn't do anything special to me, but apparetly something is broken on their end. I've contacted support and i received NO reply. I've followed up. They took my money, have violated their own TOS, and now won't provide ANY support for which I have paid. I called their billing and I get a cellphone generic voicemail that says the number. They have not called back. I am going to call VISA and explain this and get them to refund GAB Pro. I think it's a fake dumb website created by the ZOROZ's of the world to honeypot / trapdoor red pill / alt media people. SOrry folks if this makes you mad. STeemit is the same. I proved that in the VERY first month of steemit--whenever you aggressively ignore people who pay you--that is how you know they aren't a real company. (real companies have a repuation to uphold because it has to fight for your money, but the US government does not feel it has a reputation to uphol because it does NOT have to fight for your money, and so it does whatever it wants) Many more examples exist.
