Facebook Launches New Algorithm To Begin Purge Of Conservative And Christian Voices Just In Time To Influence The 2018 Elections
In January 2017, Facebook began making algorithm changes to make sure conservative and Christian news was no longer so influential. Now The End Begins Facebook traffic has consistently decreased with each algorithm change. This purge comes just in time for the 2018 midterm elections.

EDITOR’S NOTE: In Nazi Germany, when Hitler wanted to “rank” the Jews, he made them all wear a yellow star as they were placed into ghettos. Now Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to do the same thing to Conservative and Christian voices on his social media site. His ‘yellow star’ is a new ranking algorithm which will separate out Conservative and Christian posts, identify them as ‘fake news’ no matter the actual content, and then assign them their place in the Facebook ‘ghetto’ where very few if anyone will ever actually read them. Zuckerberg says that this will “restore trust” to Facebook in much the same way that Hitler told the Jews that going in to the shower would refresh them. What he didn’t tell them that the showers were actually gas chambers. Before the purge began in early 2017, NOW THE END BEGINS had an average of 2 million views per month. Now we average around 500,000 which has resulted in a 75% drop in revenue from ad placement. That’s why we started the fundraiser last year. Eventually, Conservatives and Christian voices will be eliminated altogether from platforms like Facebook, but until we are, we will continue to expose the darkness of the times in which we live.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Tuesday that the company has already begun to implement a system that ranks news organizations based on trustworthiness, and promotes or suppresses its content based on that metric.
Zuckerberg said the company has gathered data on how consumers perceive news brands by asking them to identify whether they have heard of various publications and if they trust them.
“We put [that data] into the system, and it is acting as a boost or a suppression, and we’re going to dial up the intensity of that over time,” he said. “We feel like we have a responsibility to further [break] down polarization and find common ground.”
Zuckerberg met with a group of news media executives at the Rosewood Sand Hill hotel in Menlo Park after delivering his keynote speech at Facebook’s annual F8 developer conference Tuesday.
The meeting included representatives from BuzzFeed News, the Information, Quartz, the New York Times, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, NBC, Recode, Univision, Barron’s, the Daily Beast, the Economist, HuffPost, Insider, the Atlantic, the New York Post, and others.
The event, called “OTR” (shorthand for “off the record”), is an annual gathering meant for new media news executives to talk shop. It is in its second year. Zuckerberg’s remarks were initially meant to be, like the name of the conference, off the record, but he agreed to answer questions on the record.
Zuckerberg said the company will invest “billions” of dollars in a combination of artificial intelligence and tens of thousands of human moderators to keep both fake news and deliberate propaganda at bay, especially in elections.
“We’re essentially going to be losing money on doing political ads,” he said of the investment the company is making to avoid a repeat of the spread of Russian propaganda in the 2016 US election.
“The big miss is we didn’t expect these kind of coordinated information operations” in 2016, said Zuckerberg, and that the company was more focused on hacking in malware. He said the company is expecting that kind of information war now and has already successfully countered it in elections from France to Alabama.
“We deployed AI tools that have taken down tens of thousands of accounts,” he said of those elections.
Zuckerberg’s Announcement Means Final Remaining Conservative Voices on Facebook Will Be Eliminated by Election Day
In January 2017, Facebook began making algorithm changes to make sure conservative news was no longer so influential. The Gateway Pundit Facebook traffic has consistently decreased with each algorithm change.
A March 2018 study by The Outline organization found conservative publishers were hit the hardest by Facebook algorithm changes. The study also showed that The Gateway Pundit was hit the hardest.
In March 2018 Western Journal also published a study that found conservative publishers were hit the hardest by the recent Facebook algorithm changes. The report found that liberal publishers actually saw a 2 percent increase in traffic. Conservative publishers lost an average of 14 percent in traffic.
Facebook official Campbell Brown, a former anchor on NBC and CNN, told attendees at a recent technology and publishing conference that Facebook would be censoring news publishers based on its own internal biases. And they did.
On Tuesday Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will ramp up its censorship of “controversial” political content. The announcement was made to a group of liberal publishers and the anti-Trump Wall Street Journal. source

The Biden Administration Funding Far Left Attack Groups Like NewsGuard To Censor And Silence Christian And Conservative News Outlets Like NTEB
A bombshell lawsuit has accused the US State Department of violating First Amendment rights by using taxpayer dollars to fund private censorship firms like NewsGuard that attack Christian sites like NTEB
I suppose we should be flattered on some level, Microsoft lists that NewsGuard reviews around 7,500 web sites for ‘accuracy in reporting’, and NTEB is one of those sites. Nice to know we have gotten the attention of the New World Order elites. But what is not so nice is having NewsGuard emailing us while doing a live Podcast on Bill Gates and the Pandemic Treaty, telling us they disapprove of what we do, and then having YouTube delete that Podcast and suspend our channel for the next 3 months for ‘medical misinformation’. But I’m sure that’s just a ‘crazy coincidence’ and I’m reading into it. Yeah, but not.
“Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.” Amos 5:13 (KJB)
One of NewsGuard’s recent emails said “During our most recent review, we came across a couple of articles I wanted to ask about, including a March 2023 article alleging that COVID-19 vaccines are causing widespread cardiac arrests, as well as a January 2023 article claiming COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent deaths or hospitalizations.” Ahh, that’s it, that’s the business. In case you were wondering, NewsGuard is talking about this article, and this article. NewsGuard, the ‘guard dog’ of Big Pharma, Bill Gates and the Biden administration, does not like us telling the truth about the COVID vaccine and its deadly consequences. Tough apples, NewsGuard, the COVID vaccine is not only not a vaccine, it does cause heart attacks and death, and the majority of people hospitalized with COVID are the vaccinated. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Over the years, Now The End Begins has been placed on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of anti-government groups, we’re not, listed with the US Cyber Command as an ‘extremist organization’, we’re not, and now endlessly followed and hassled by Biden censorship groups like NewsGuard. Well, that’s life on the front lines of the end times, that’s where the bullets fly, and this is where the LORD has placed us. The war is real, the battle hot and time is short…TO THE FIGHT!!!
Biden State Department funds censorship firms like NewsGuard that favor left-wing media
FROM THE NY POST: Under the Biden administration, the federal agency has unlawfully used “censorship enterprises that target the American press” and which selectively smear news organizations — typically those that lean to the right — as “purveyors of ‘disinformation,’” according to the federal suit filed Wednesday.
“The Biden administration is illegally funding organizations with the stated goal of financially crippling media outlets whose coverage does not walk in lockstep with the government’s ideological agenda,” the Daily Wire said.
The Federalist and the Daily Wire — a pair of self-described “right of center media” groups — jointly filed the complaint with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the New Civil Liberties Alliance, a nonprofit civil rights group, in the US Eastern District of Texas on Wednesday.
The Biden administration has used US funds to tap “fact-checking” censorship enterprises including NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), which have relationships with social media giants including Facebook, YouTube and TikTok, among others, as well as deep-pocketed advertisers like Dell Technologies, ExxonMobil and Nike, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit claims that NewsGuard and GDI are “government-promoted censorship enterprises” that have starved conservative-leaning news sites “of advertising revenue and reducing the circulation of their reporting and speech.” The filing points to GDI’s December 2022 “Disinformation Risk Assessment,” which rated the top 10 “least risky” and “riskiest” outlets.
Among the riskiest sites, according to the list: the Federalist, the Daily Wire, Newsmax, the American Conservative, Reason Magazine and even the New York Post, among other perceived right-leaning organizations.
Meanwhile, the New York Times, the Washington Post, BuzzFeed and other reputedly left-leaning news groups topped the GDI’s “least risky” chart.
“NewsGuard also compiles a list of American press outlets it characterizes as ‘unreliable,’” the lawsuit noted. “These entities generate blacklists of ostensibly risky or unreliable American news outlets for the purpose of discrediting and demonetizing the disfavored press and redirecting money and audiences to news organizations that publish favored viewpoints,” according to the suit.

Leaked Documents Show That Major Social Media Conspired With Biden Administration To Suppress Free Exchange Of Information During Pandemic
Leaked confidential documents allegedly indicate Facebook developed an end-to-end process for government agencies to report misinformation called the Facebook Content Request System
It’s called the ‘Government Reporting System’, and it is just as draconian as it sounds, a backdoor portal in Facebook where member of the Biden administration could report any and all content that went against their official narrative on things like the COVID virus, the COVID vaccine, and the COVID passport. That article you posted, and countless thousands of others like you, showing people dying after getting vaccinated was intentionally deleted by this system, to cover up the truth about what they were doing to us. This system was vital to ensuring the success of their operation against us.
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)
We live in a day and time where we find ourselves living in a virtual world, a web, and this leads directly to the Mark of the Beast under Antichrist after the Rapture of the Church. A world where people are controlled and dominated by a Mark which controls all buying and selling anywhere in the world. What we experienced during the man-made, gain of function pandemic was simply a test run for the real thing. Social media, the mainstream media, and the entire Biden Administration are complicit in intentionally censoring the truth while disseminating lies and misinformation to lock us down and destroy the economy. The only question is when are they going to do it again?
Leaked docs show Facebook made portal for feds to report misinformation, report says
FROM ABC 15 NEWS: Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry filed a lawsuit earlier this year seeking to uncover collusion between major social media companies and the federal government to censor free speech around topics such as COVID-19. The courts subsequently compelled the Biden administration to turn over communications between federal officials and social media platforms which, according to Schmitt, revealed an extensive “Censorship Enterprise” between multiple government agencies and social media platforms.
Now, a parallel investigation by The Intercept has allegedly uncovered “confidential” documents from Facebook illuminating the presence of a “Facebook Content Request System” for government agencies.
Facebook and Twitter created special portals for the government to rapidly request takedowns of content. The portals, along with NGO partners used to censor a wide range of content, including obvious parody accounts and content disagreeing w gov pandemic policy. pic.twitter.com/Jth0WUfXAI
— Lee Fang (@lhfang) October 31, 2022
According to the documents, the “Government Reporting System” could be accessed via a specific web address with an approved government or law enforcement email address. As of October 31, 2022, the URL “facebook.com/xtakedowns/login,” which was listed on the leaked documents obtained by The Intercept, still appeared to be functioning normally. The National Desk (TND) reached out to both Facebook and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to learn whether they could confirm or deny the existence of the reporting system, but never received a response.
“This censorship is not done at the sole or even primary initiative of Big Tech. It is so often done in conjunction with the US Govt and US Security State, which demands it,” Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted, following The Intercept’s report. “The head of Big Tech’s censorship scheme is the Biden WH and the US Security State. I can’t stress this vital truth enough.”
Lee Fang, one of The Intercept report’s co-authors, indicated in a tweet that Twitter created a similar government reporting system as well. Additionally, some tech companies met monthly with the FBI, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and other government representatives prior to the 2020 presidential election, The Intercept reports.

After Years Of Censoring Christians And Conservatives, Is Anyone Surprised That People Are Leaving Facebook In Droves For Sites Like Tik Tok?
Facebook Meta stock lost $200 billion in value in one of the biggest stock drops in history, as users flee for freer sites like Tik Tok.
Bad news, Mark Zuckerberg. People aren’t really interested in Facebook censorship anymore — let alone your metaverse fever dream. Facebook stock lost $200 billion in value in one of the biggest stock drops in history, as users flee for Tik Tok.
Today, hundreds of millions of ex-Facebook users are wildly cheering one of the biggest stock market collapses of a single company in modern times, a $200 billion devaluation of Meta formerly known as Facebook. Why did Facebook Meta stock crash so hard? Because so many users have fled fascist Facebook for places that don’t censor, ban and suspend you for having a differing opinion like Tik Tok and others. If Facebook disappeared from the planet tomorrow, that’d be fine with me. But don’t go getting your hopes up just yet.
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Ecclesiastes 8:11 (KJB)
Companies like Facebook Meta, Google, Amazon and even Elon Musk are part of the prophesied coming kingdom of Antichrist, and as such, I fully expect to see Facebook showing record profits in a relatively short period of time. But after having our NTEB Facebook page unpublished last month with its hundreds of thousands of followers, I am going to sit back, pour myself of steaming hot cup o’ joe, and enjoy this little victory against the tyrant Zuckerberg.
Facebook crashes after user base started shrinking
FROM FUTURISM: Stock prices for Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, took a swan dive on Wednesday after the company revealed both a profit decline and, for the first time in its history, a shrinking userbase— leading to a sell off that resulted in a $195 billion stock plunge, Bloomberg reports.
If it holds, the 22 percent dip could be the biggest collapse in market value for a US company in stock market history. A look under the hood shows that the company is dealing with several problems that have culminated into a perfect storm of dwindling profits.
For one, Facebook has yet again failed to grow its daily or monthly active user bases as it faces stiff competition from TikTok and many other upstarts. The company’s advertising growth also slowed as changes to Apple’s iOS made targeted advertising more difficult. There’s also the case of the company’s moonshot goal of creating a workable metaverse. Meta’s AR and VR unit Reality Labs posted a more than $10 billion loss in its first ever financial report, according to CNN. The numbers don’t bode well for its future viability.
“Investors will look at these numbers closely as a first indicator of how far off the Metaverse is from being a profitable reality,” Tom Johnson, global chief digital officer at media agency Mindshare Worldwide, told the broadcaster.
Zuckerberg’s metaverse was always going to be a bit of a long shot. If the recent stock crash is any indication, convincing large swaths of the population to remain on Facebook and purchase a cumbersome VR headset to do depressing metaverse activities is going to be a near impossible task.

Meta shares sink more than 20% as Facebook loses daily users
Shares of Facebook’s parent company Meta plunged more than 20% late on Wednesday after the social media company posted a weaker-than-expected forecast. Facebook’s global daily active users declined from the previous quarter for the first time.
