The Rise of the New Media
The only way to beat mainstream media is to build something better.
There are certain things that you cannot say without the threat of censorship. The chief example would be whenever someone criticizes Israel. When someone opens their mouth and utters any words that may or may not discourage Israel, or simply asks a question on the subject that is perceived negatively, you get the usual round of accusations; you’re an Anti-Semite, you’re a holocaust denier, you’re a Nazi, etc. And that is exactly what happened to me, Samara.
In fact, the moment I opened up my mouth about what I had learned about the Jews and their Satanic culture, I became one of the biggest targets on Substack. Substack always had the illusion of “free speech,” but one of the founders, Hamish McKenzie, is a Jew, so of course there would never actually be free speech on the platform. Jews believe that things like pornography are free speech, but criticizing the Talmud is hate speech. And Hamish McKenzie loves his pornography. Just like the Jews of the Weimar Republic.
My time on Substack had always been tumultuous at best. I had gone from one of the fastest growing writers to being knee-capped simply for questioning what Substack’s motives were. And that was before I even found out that Hamish was a Jew. This was when I believed that he was simply another Leftist hiding in plain sight, allowing the illusion of free speech in order to promote the status quo. But that was an incredibly naïve take on my part.
Samara and James Knox Banned
I am man that fought diligently to protect you from those that would try to take away your right to speak freely. I had always questioned everything, but I was fair in my questions. I was also someone that always gave to others and worked to promote smaller voices when all I could offer them was an audience. So, what exactly happened to me? Why was I banned so suddenly? And why was I banned at the same time as the prominent writer and “leader” of the iFunnyiers, James Knox? Why wasn’t Sectionalism Archive , Layne A. Jackson, or even Hexenkartothek banned? (Not to give anyone any ideas.)
On November 18th, James Knox and I were mass reported as spam on Substack. Both of us were suspended, awaiting appeal. It looked like either a group of people reported any comments they could find or Substack’s auto-moderation was implemented to take us out. However, what was alarming was that we were both reported for totally benign comments that went back to the first months that we were on Substack. For Knox, almost a year, and for me, almost 2 years.
The same thing happened to Phisto Sobanii, but he reached out to Mills, the Head of Design for Substack and was reinstated. Mills then went on to say that it was a bug that caused the suspensions. Which is simply a ridiculous thing to say. Because when Phisto appealed his suspension with Mills, he was instantly reinstated. But here’s the kicker; when me and Knox appealed our suspensions through Substack’s official Trust and Safety team, we were immediately banned. Isn’t it funny how that works?
Unsurprisingly, Mills never got back to me about our accounts being banned. But there is a lingering question as to why we were both banned.
Originally both of us were suspended, however, Knox and I, having never had an official strike against our accounts, appealed the suspension and asked Substack’s Trust and Safety which TOS we had broken. Unfortunately we never received that answer, only getting a vague response, and I was told my account would be banned permanently. The same thing happened to James Knox.
The most frustrating part was that I had paid subscribers across three different publications: Liberty Magazine, Montag Publishing House, and John Stark News. I also had 6 contributors: Joshua T Calkins-Treworgy , Sych , DC Explain, D.W Dixon , Brad Samuelson , and Milana Sandoval . And 1 that was set to premier in January: The Brothers Krynn .
I had also just released the second edition of my monthly magazine and sales had gotten to the point where I could almost pay the contributors. I had more than 2.2K subscribers (unfortunately only 724 of them were salvageable after Substack denied the first 4 attempts to import my CSV Files) and I was quickly on my way to becoming more influential. But I was also on my way to becoming a big problem.
On a platform where subscriptions are the only official form of patronage, I found a way to offer my magazine as a direct commodity for readers. This would effectively cut out Substack’s fee for patronage, meaning they wouldn’t be able to take 10% of out of every subscription. This way I could grow my publication without them profiting off of it. And before you ask, no this was not against TOS. There is nothing that states that I cannot do this on Substack. Enough of that though, many of you are wondering why I became an “Anti-Semite”.
The Noticing
You see, I had started to notice things and I started to read up on somethings that a lot of people would rather one not. I began to read the Talmud and started to look at the military operations happening in Palestine. I started to hear the cries of Palestinian Christians. I started to read a wider range of political philosophy and started looking for non-Western sources on history. What I found was startling. But the biggest surprise to me was the resistance I got from people that once agreed with me on the most important thing I preached, freedom of speech.
In 1965, Frank Herbert wrote arguably the greatest science fiction novel of all time, Dune. He also has one of the greatest quotes concerning the freedom of speech that was ever uttered:
“When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.”
I always believed this to be true, I just didn’t quite see the that censors were already ingratiated within the Right just as much as they were with the Left. As someone that would be classified as a right-winger, I thought that the majority of “Conservative” Americans were for equality and not equity, but what I actually learned is that they are only for what is convenient to them at the time. The Republicans claim to be the party of Lincoln, which doesn’t actually mean the party of freedom like the typical liberal indoctrinated conservative believes. They never quite understood that like Lincoln, Trump and the Zionists want to suspend Habeas Corpus if you talk about the Jews.
The typical person has been brainwashed into believing that they aren’t deceived, that they understand the reality to which they live in. But we know that’s not true. If you ask a conservative what a liberal is, he wouldn’t point to himself. And that’s because American Conservatives don’t even understand that they are part of the Liberalist system. They have no clue what the Founding Fathers were even talking about. They also don’t understand that Liberalism is incompatible with the Kingdom of Heaven. But enough of that.
After Substack banned me and put the final nail in Liberty Magazine’s coffin (after having shadow banned me, demonetized me before reinstating me, etc.), I decided that the name Samara was done. A name that was associated with the seed of an elm tree like that of the Revolutionary War “Tree of Liberty,” and I dutifully took up the name Ardito, the one who dares. After I was banned and with a new name, I decided to do something incredibly thoughtful by giving you all a gift.
If Substack was going to ban people for speaking freely and if every other platform was going to censor free speech, then I was going to create a new social media platform. This one would be controlled by someone that believed that the market place of ideas and the God given right to speak freely should always prevail. And that someone was me. But I wouldn’t be alone. Joining me would be Wolliver, sy’s Substack , Knut Hamsun , Writings of the Sincere , Zolti , and of course, @jamesknoxpolk.
Arditi
As soon as I was banned on Substack, I immediately began working on a platform that would allow us to write freely without being censored for being “problematic“. What I created was Arditi, meaning those who dare. I was able to take WordPress’ blogging capabilities and pair it with some coding that created a social media network as well; in short, a competitor to Substack. My goal is to make it so everything moral is able to be said without fear that you will be banned. However, we will not tolerate pornography of any kind.
Homepage
On Arditi’s homepage you will see that I have included “Latest Articles,” “Most Popular,” and “Featured Articles”:
Latest Articles: will show the most recently published articles that Arditi has to currently offer by implementing an algorithm that determines publishing times.
Most Popular: will show the most popular articles that exist on Arditi by taking into account view counts and comments. (Next update will include likes).
Featured Articles: will show a random assortment of articles from Arditi with an randomized algorithm.
As of right now, the homepage is very bare, however, as we write the content will fill out the front page pretty nicely.
Categories
On the blog page you will find that for now there are only 6 categories for which content can be divided into:
Culture: A category which features all of the cultural articles that Arditi has to offer.
News: A category that features all of the articles on Arditi that are news oriented.
U.S. Politics: A category which features all of the articles on Arditi that concern U.S. Politics.
History: A category dedicated to all of the history articles that are available on Arditi.
Science: A category that features all of the science articles that are available on Arditi.
Literature: A category which features all of the literature articles on Arditi.
When an author creates an article, they will be able to choose which category their article fits into. Anyone that creates an account has the ability to create an article.
Creating an Account
To create an account, click on the Register button at the top of the page and fill in your details. Registration is quick and free!
If you have a Telegram or WordPress account, simply click on Login to access Arditi.
To prevent spammers and ban raiding content, I have initiated an approval process until I can add more moderators to my team.
Creating an Article
After creating an account and being approved, you will be brought to the home screen but you will see a tool bar on the top of your screen with “+ New”.
The article creator is where you will create the articles of your choosing. I have also included an SEO calculator that will help you increase your chances of your article being discovered on the internet. In the future we will be updating it to include a much more advanced SEO service. The article creator also gives you the option to set a featured image for the thumbnail, schedule the release of the article, assign a category (if you don’t choose one or choose “uncategorized,” the post will not be available to view for anyone but the original author), disable comments, and add tags.
Community
In order to give users a place to connect with likeminded people and work to make better connections, I coded some infrastructure that will allow you to create a customized algorithm so you can decide what kind of content is shown in your feed. You will also have the ability to create your own groups (either public/private).
Groups are the hub of Arditi, though you don’t have to be in one to participate with the wider community. Groups can create forums for their members, they can post insider memes and share their online cultural jokes between members.
The Rise of the New Media
There are many more features that will be added to Arditi as we gain a bigger following. As of right now I want to keep this article simple, but I will be updating it as time goes on. What should be said is that Arditi is just one of the examples of the new media platforms that are rising up to supplant the old guard that censored any content it found “problematic“. Now the ball is in our court and it’s our time to shine. I will be working exclusively with those that join Arditi to make it a more comprehensive and adaptable platform that increases the success of its members.
We should not be censored for practicing our God given right to speak freely and I will be working round the clock to make sure that we succeed in our mission. Because in the end we win. Ave Christus Rex!

They get offended when you mention they are liberals. This is especially true among Americans.
Amazing read.
