Capital Riots and Parler Vs Amazon Web Services

My thoughts on the disaster of the January 6th and the Parler VS Amazon Web Services lawsuit first round of filings. Links to videos and documents after transcript.

Thomas Talleyrand 0:06
So to get started just in general, what's going on? Trump has been frozen out of stripe. He's been kicked off his email platform. He has been de banked, threatened with jail threatened with impeachment. This is a very dangerous episode that we're heading into. However, unlike what the left will always tell you, this has never happened before, because they expect everybody to only believe in their life experience. We had this in the 1920s. In the 1800s. We've had multiple elections stolen. This is not the first one where there has been fraud. JFK, LBJ both committed fraud to get elected. It's taught, or at least it was taught in Texas schools.

Thomas Talleyrand 1:11
Let's just attack the first things first. The number one claim of the left is that President Trump incited violence. There's no proof that President Trump did any such thing. In fact, if you listen to the Viva Frey and Robert Barnes law podcast that they do on law, excuse me on youtube live every Sunday night, Robert Barnes gives the actual legal definition of inciting violence and you have to intentionally say, go do x, x has to be a violent act. Trump said let's go protest. That's not inciting violence. However, when he said that there was still a 35 minute walk that would have been required to get to the Capitol. In fact, I believe President Trump said the thing that he said about let's go let them hear our voices after the attack it already started. That's something I'm trying to get confirmed. Now the next thing that I want to get into is the queue world q anon world and I guess people will probably blast me. And I won't be able to raise money if I can ever get a payment processor I trust.

Thomas Talleyrand 2:38
But I do not understand the whole Q phenomenon. Apparently, the Q people are two different types of people, either one, very religious or two, military and heavily patriotic. They want to be a hero. So they buy into this something secret going on. You can be the hero, you could save the day. We're not that kind of country where violence ever works. No one wants to overthrow the government. We want the government to work as it was designed to work. This is not the first election in which people thought that they got screwed. Starting back in 1824, Andrew Johnson thinks he got shafted. Then he turned around and one and 28. And the election right after Washington's term ended, Adams ended up pronouncing himself president even though he had non conforming electors that were presented to him from Maine, had he done the right thing and rejected those electors. He would not have been president guy. He was the vice president. He did not eject the electors. So he became president. If there's anyone who thinks that Obama or any democrat would not have gone down fighting, just like Trump tried to do, then you're crazy and you're lying. Okay, you're lying to yourself, and you're lying to us.

Thomas Talleyrand 4:15
So back to Q and on the Q world in the Q anons are not exactly sure how they all work. But as Robert Barnes and some others have been saying, looks like a classical psyop. Now I am not saying that the federal government has been running some kind of psyop, there's plenty of documentation out there on how to do this kind of thing. in the public sphere. This could be a very sophisticated person, it could be a group of people, it could be a foreign government. It could be some people trying to do what they think is the right thing to help out Trump. I don't exactly see how that type of person comes into play here because what they've done is hurt Trump.

Thomas Talleyrand 5:01
These people that went into the capital are mostly q anon, or ANTIFA and I don't mean all of them, I mean a few ANTIFA people, there appears to be some people also waving people in.

Thomas Talleyrand 5:18
Q anon is a scam. It does not appear to be anything but a project designed to hurt Trump. Let me tell you again, q anon appears to be nothing but a project designed to hurt Trump and discredit his supporters. So now let's get into the capital. Excuse me. Now, let's get into the cracking lawsuits. What a fricking disaster. The Kraken information appears to have come from Q world and some people posting on Q and onboards. Lynn Wood has a history of being absolutely out of control. The lawsuit against him from his partners that reads off some of the crazy wild things Linn Wood has done and said to his partners, and how he has not paid his partners. How he has been out of trust, with his clients money, including apparently, Rittenhouse and some of the Covington kids stuff is really disheartening, and really makes me question his motivations. Now, the guy apparently has some health issues. Hopefully he'll get them taken care of. But what he has done to Sidney Powell, a person that I have a tremendous amount of respect for is absolutely disgusting.

Thomas Talleyrand 6:56
Poor Sidney Powell, who is more of an intellectual lawyer than a get down and dirty criminal lawyer and defamation lawyer, or election lawyer has been led astray. It appears some of these so called expert witnesses have backed out on their testimony. There are expert witnesses or affidavits that appear to have been written for the same person but filed under multiple names. So in other words, you had the exact same set of statements in the exact same sentence structure, the exact same copy in the body of the affidavit being the exact same with multiple people submitting it. That could have been a clerical error, but there's too much of that there's the typos. There's the man who said that there was a 350% response in Michigan County, but it was actually it Wisconsin County, or the vice versa. They got their response right back. There's just too much sloppiness. Viva Frei, once again, has some great short ish excerpts on this. I'm going to reach out to Viva and Barnes. Find out if it's okay to share some of their video content or audio content with you on the podcast. But I'm also going to start linking to their stuff on my episode pages to the cracking lawsuits and Sidney Powell. Apparently, this stuff that she repeated, was completely false. And now you have these witnesses that are saying, Oh, no, we didn't write the the proclamations or the affidavits. You (Powell and/or Wood) wrote them and made me sign them even though I didn't want to you roped me into this said we were going to get rich. This kind of thing is apparently something that happens every once in a while with attorneys. You have to be very specific. When you invite somebody or somebody comes to you and offers you information, you have to perform your due diligence. I'm not quite sure why no one from general Flynn or Sydney Powells closs associations, did not notice that. All of these q anon. crackpot conspiracy theories never came true never came true, not one time. And the thing that really frustrates me about this whole situation with this is that it took away from President Trump's legitimate arguments about the constitutionality of the election. The election was absolutely ripe for challenge. In Texas. We have had an election just recently within the last few years, where there was a similar amount of problems with the signature matches that they ended up throwing out the entire election. They had the same thing with election fraud in North Carolina there the democrats said that there was enough election fraud they felt like to profitably change outcome. But even if there wasn't much election fraud any is too much election fraud, and throughout the election, given the houseseat to a Democrat. So in a nutshell, in two major events, the questioning or challenging of election results, and the Capitol Hill riots, Q anon played a major role. anyone telling you differently, is gaslighting you or extremely uninformed, this Patriot Act bill, we will get to that in later episodes as we see what comes out of it. But it looks like an extremely large power grab. People are saying the Reichstag fire and other historical situations that the government used to greatly expand its power. And even to usurp power, in the case of the Nazis, where they did not actually have the power aren't too far off, but we'll see where things go.

Thomas Talleyrand 11:18
We are not going to speculate. I don't have a bunch of sources that are going to come tell me something. And like I told you in the first podcast, if I have a bunch of sources, I'm not going to tell you stuff and then not tell you what it was. I'm not going to say Well, I've got a source that's told me something. But it's so big, I can't tell you like somebody else that has a very popular podcast that drives me absolutely nuts.

Thomas Talleyrand 11:44
Now let's move into using big tech, how anybody would think that it was a good idea to contract with Amazon Web Services on this side of the aisle, or that supports President Trump is beyond me. Looking at the lawsuit filed today by parlor, it's a parent, I know that in Texas, Amazon would be absolutely demolished. If the facts prove out to be on parlar side as they appear to do to be, at least when it comes down to the 30 day notice and right to cure. 30 Day notices and right to cures are almost sacrosanct in law. I've never ever had a lawyer Tell me, hey, yeah, go ahead and violate that part of your contract. If you're going to give somebody a responsibility and a contract, and that contracts over time, and then you don't give them the ability to cure that contract to your satisfaction, then you are not able to terminate the contract. It's just the way it is. It's the good faith portion of common law. And it's an underpinning (of common law), and I'm sure that there are tons of supreme court cases on this. Basically, it appears that Amazon just cut off Parler without giving them the 30 day notice, and a right to cure. That's very important. Because what Amazon appears that they're going to say is, we didn't cut you off, we didn't terminate your account, we suspended you and we will terminate your account in 30 days. You just can't use it for 30 days. Well, this is the problem with using some of these tech services.

Thomas Talleyrand 13:37
I support President Trump we're gonna get into the millions of things or 1000s of things that I feel like Trump did wrong, where I feel like Trump probably got and good advice and ignored it. Time and time again, I've heard people say, Well, I tried to say do this, but he did that. So I think Trump has a lot of blame to take here. However, let's be realistic. He's been the most effective president in our history, or at least in my lifetime. One of the reasons he may have been so effective is he was not spending time doing the political stuff. Most people try to get into politics. Once they get elected, they go right into trying to get reelected. Trump went right into trying to do the things he said he was gonna do. And that's what politicians should. We have also had exposed how the David French's of the world, have been wrong about conservatives to just go start their own properties, their own, their own competitors to Twitter, etc, etc. Obviously, Twitter, Apple, Google, and Amazon are going to use their monopolistic type of powers to crush any competition, just like they just appear to have done with Parler. When you read the lawsuit. That parlor just filed against Amazon Web Services. Amazon signed a contract with Twitter for multi years. I'm sure it is a very large contract. It was large enough that they executed a press release. Deliver everybody know how wonderful it was they're doing business with Twitter. I thought Twitter had their own bare metal, but apparently not. So, Rod after doing this. Here we are. Twitter kicks Trump off of their site, when they kick up Trump off their site. parlor goes from being the 1000 and 83rd most popular app in the app store to trending to number one. immediately thereafter, Amazon cuts off their number one competitor to their number one customer by crushing their ability to even have a site all together. You also have Apple and Google Play kicking parlor off of their site, even though it appears for under representations made by parlor that they did try to moderate their people putting stuff on the site that might be physical violence. Guys, you cannot sit there and make physical threats. It's just that's just not part of it. That's not what we do. That's what the democrat leftists do. They're the ones that make threats. They're the ones whose lawyer just got exposed. The PBS lawyer just got exposed talking about attacking the Capitol putting children in concentration camps. We can't act like that. It's not who we are. It's not what we are. We stand up for Law and Order, we stand up for being fair. And we need to start standing up for more due diligence, due process and holding politicians to account. Make sure that they do what they say they're going to do. Make sure that they're just not giving us a line of BS.

Thomas Talleyrand 17:07
Coming up in part two, I'm going to discuss the Amazon Parler litigation. I'm going to start off by reading from the complaint filed by parlar against Amazon. Starting at paragraph 13 parlar begins to lay out the facts as they allege them parlor contracts with AWS to provide the cloud computing services parlor needs for its apps and websites to function on the internet. Further, the both the apps and the website are written to work with AWS technology. To have to switch to a different service provider would require rewriting that code, meaning parlor will be offline for financial excuse me, financially devastating period. parlour is also a competitor of Twitter, as both provide a similar platform for users communicate with short messages, links and pictures. Like many social media platforms, parlours business model is not based on subscription fees. Less than a month ago, AWS announced with a press release a new multi year deal with Twitter to provide a list of services outlined in the lawsuit. So according to the deal, they are providing services to Twitter for video images and ad content, not necessarily the tweets, although they do say that they are actually helping with the tweets to that'll be brought up later on and Amazon's reply, at the same time, parlor began to significantly increase its usership at the expense of Twitter. After the election in November, the New York Times reported it millions have migrated alternative social media and media sites like parlor.

Thomas Talleyrand 18:58
In fact, less than a week after election day between November 3 and November 8 parlors app experienced nearly 1 million downloads. This resulted in parlor rocketing to the number one free app in the iOS store, up from 1023 just a week earlier. Likewise, in the same week Parler went from 496, the first and the Google Play rankings. Not surprisingly, the app was the 10th most downloaded social media app in 2020. Without 8.1 million new installs in 2021. This trend not only continued it accelerated thanks to Twitter's announcement two days ago, that it would permanently ban President Trump from its platform. After Twitter's announcement conservative politicians and media figures began encouraging their followers to switch to parlor. Speculation began to mount the President Trump would likewise mood parlor Given the close to 19 million followers the President had on Twitter. This would be an astronomical boon to parlor and a heavy blow to Twitter. They have a typo it says parley, but I believe they mean parler given the context of Parler looming threat to Twitter and the fact that the Twitter ban might not long muzzle of the President, if he switched to parlor, potentially bringing 10s of millions of followers with him, I know you, AWS moved to shut down parlor. Yesterday evening at six I was seven website. BuzzFeed posted an article with screenshots of a letter from AWS, the parlor informing parlor that its account would be suspended. Strangely, the article with the letter was posted before parlor itself received a letter in an email. It was received at 719 pacific time over an hour after the BuzzFeed article went online. Last evening, the Associated Press reported at parlor may be the leading candidate for President Trump after his Twitter banned as experts had predicted Trump might pop up on parlor. But the reason that Amazon struck a blow Saturday against the chance of Trump adopting the platforming forming parlor and need to look for a new web hosting service effect. Immediately. This debt blow by AWS did not come at a worse time for parler a time when the company is surging with potential of even more explosive growth than the next few days worth in the worst when the timing is the result. parler has tried to find alternative companies to host it and they have fallen through it has no other options. The lawsuit goes on. And it talks about rival social media apps such as gab and rumble also experiencing record growth. The silencing by parlor, AWS silences the millions of parlor users who do not feel that their free speech is protected by Twitter or other social media apps. Also pulling the plug on parlor. But leaving Twitter alone despite identical content by users on both sides. AWS reveals that it expressed reasons for spending partners or count are but pretextual. And it's note announcing the pending termination of parlor services that AWS over the past several weeks, we've reported 98 examples to parlor, a post they clearly encourage and incite violence. AWS listed out a few of these tweets, parleys whatever you call them, are these postings. You can find the same exact kinds of things all over Twitter, day in and day out. Twitter does nothing to remove these posts. They're opposed to going back years and years and years that you can do searches on that you see plenty of people making violent, and over the top threats against democrats against republicans against conservatives, and specifically against President Trump. And nobody seems to care. Twitter does nothing. In fact, they promote it. The number one trending hashtag on Twitter at the time that they sent the letter had something to do with Mike Pence. As a bat, as a matter of fact, there was one of the exact same tweets, or parleys that was pointed out in Amazon's letter to Twitter. I'm going to go over tomorrow in another podcast. Amazon's reply and get more into the allegations. But the basic allegation is parlor seems to fail, like Amazon use their ability to shut them down to help Twitterand that Apple, Google and Amazon have all conspired to interfere with Parler's way to earn a living. We're going to see if they end up suing the other two companies. I can't imagine that they want. But if they don't, they don't. But that does seem to be the underlying theme here that the three big three use their power, their monopolistic power to harm parlor in an effort to silence President Trump. silence and President Trump doesn't really come into this right here because these are all really straightforward contractual obligations. From what I can see in the complaint, and the little bit I've examined of Amazon's response. This seems pretty straightforward.

Thomas Talleyrand 24:59
How Ever. Politics ruins everything. And I think that we're going to have a more political response here. The judge that has been appointed to this case, is a Carter appointee. I haven't gone very far into her rulings. This is the exact kind of case where she would rule against the big dog, except for the big dog is Amazon. And I'm pretty sure that she's going to probably have a hard time going against them. Considering the amount of grief she'll get politically. ANTIFA And other left wing app bits will go, you know, they'll threaten her like they've done to Tucker Carlson. And they're doing to the parlor guy, the parlor guy cannot go home right now. So I'm going to wrap up this part of this episode and go into the outro.

Thomas Talleyrand 26:05
Okay, so this is the boring outro, we are just getting started, I'm having to learn how to do this. The one of the reasons I'm wrapping this podcast up is because I think I need to be a little bit more organized tomorrow. We're going to get better as we go. I really appreciate anyone support who's taking the time to listen to these. Apple hasn't even approved the podcast yet. It is available on Google Play, just search populist cast.com. And you can get that subscribed through Google Play and a few other things. As this grows, we're going to start taking donations Bitcoin and we have a locals page populist.com. I'll eventually make that a community. We'll try to do some extra stuff on it. I do have some plans.

Thomas Talleyrand 26:58
But I think the first thing we have to do is get the quality to where I want it to be. And I want a high quality podcast. I want to talk about the things in the news. And I'm sure things will slow down after Biden gets inaugurated. Trump hands I'm overpower.

Thomas Talleyrand 27:16
Once again, this is the part that I said we have things to talk about with Trump, Trump doesn't watch what he says he's never had to. He's always been the guy was writing the check. Even though he has an affinity for blue collar workers due to his construction background, he still always been the boss. Having worked where I was the boss and having as many as two and 300 employees have worked to me in given instances, or going in and turning around multi multi million dollar businesses where I sit in conferences with people who are worth 10s of millions of dollars listening to what I have to say, I can tell you that you can get yourself isolated pretty easy. And Trump is a victim of that. I was also discussing with a friend today, you know, if they were to go to trial, the people that make the decisions on how to handle that trial on his impeachment are people that he's tweeted out about and said something negative about and called them, you know, dummies. People don't like to be insulted. I don't care how much integrity you have. Once somebody is insulted you it's hard to look at them the same. And in the instance, Supreme Court, Justice Roberts, I think Trump has really stepped in it on many occasions that the personal attacks just never seem to work.

Thomas Talleyrand 28:54
It's the reason: one of the reasons that I wanted Ted Cruz to win the nomination. However, I think Trump All in all, has done such a great job. He deserves our support. I support the guy. I just wished he would do a little bit better job of thinking before he speaks. That's gonna wrap it up for Episode Two.

Thomas Talleyrand 29:15
This is Thomas Talleyrand. God bless you. Stay strong. And please do not do anything stupid on the 20th
