Tree of Life Synagogue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania The Attack:The Victims: The Murderer:
Gab has spent the past 48 hours proudly working with the DOJ and FBI to bring justice to an alleged terrorist. Because of the data we provided, they now have plenty of evidence for their case. In the midst of this Gab has been no-platformed by essential internet infrastructure providers at every level. We are the most censored, smeared, and no-platformed startup in history, which means we are a threat to the media and to the Silicon Valley Oligarchy. Gab isn’t going anywhere. It doesn’t matter what you write. It doesn’t matter what the sophist talking heads say on TV. It doesn’t matter what verified nobodies say on Twitter. We have plenty of options, resources, and support. We will exercise every possible avenue to keep Gab online and defend free speech and individual liberty for all people. You have all just made Gab a nationally recognized brand as the home of free speech online at a time when Silicon Valley is stifling political speech they disagree with to interfere in a US election. The internet is not reality. TV is not reality. 80% of normal everyday people agree with Gab and support free expression and liberty. The online outrage mob and mainstream media spin machine are the minority opinion. People are waking up, so please keep pointing the finger at a social network instead of pointing the finger at the alleged shooter who holds sole responsibility for his actions. No-platform us all you want. Ban us all you want. Smear us all you want. You can’t stop an idea. As we transition to a new hosting provider Gab will be inaccessible for a period of time. We are working around the clock to get Gab.com back online. Thank you and remember to speak freely. Andrew Torba, CEO Gab.com My Response:

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." Don't pretend to deal with your anger. Find out what you're afraid of. When we feel that anger, we hurt ourselves and turn the pain inward. Self-loathing, self-hatred, and so many more. If you said those same things to somebody else, you would be considered a mean person. So why can we say those things to ourselves?? This anger lead to the first murder. It caused the first major tragedy in a family... a brother killed a brother. A mother grieved for two sons. One was dead and one was sent away.
"Every little thing just wants to be loved." My sister Leah told me a quote that she loves, as typed above. She believes that the meaning of life, in a vague sense, can be found in this simple quote. Sometimes we need to forget all of these distractions in life and remember... every little thing just wants to be loved.
Last weekend was Fall Into The Classics, Kingsway's fall party that most of the high school enjoyed. Ramseyer Farms was an enjoyable Friday night with it's mazes, cider, and corn... so much corn! Although I'm sure I took half of their straw and corn home in my costume, which made for a rough laundry day. Aw, well, all's well that ends well! But did it? We should all be ashamed of ourselves!Today in class we started discussing something I found very interesting: some of the different types of angels in the bible. There are the cherubims who guard the Tree of Life and who are the two statues on the Ark of The Covenant, the Seraphim Angels who are the angels of fire, and Archangels who are the messenger angels. But total, there are nine types of angels in the hierarchy. Sounds like a good novel in the making!
I've never been enrolled in a class that made me think so much. In any other class there are rules and guidelines. In algebra you have equations, and in english you have correct spelling and grammar. But in this class we call "Bible 10", every discussion forces you to think and maybe even question what you believe. Not in a bad way, by any means, but MY BRAIN HURTS!
