Most CTH readers are likely aware of the term “deplatforming.” Unfortunately, the big tech control mechanism to shut down speech & assembly has now arrived on our doorstep.
One week after the 2020 presidential election, The Conservative Treehouse received the following notification:
…”given the incompatibility between your site’s content and our terms, you need to find a new hosting provider and must migrate the site by Wednesday, December 2nd.
What does this mean? It means CTH is being kicked-off the WordPress website hosting platform because the content of our research and discussion does not align with the ideology of those who define what is acceptable speech and what is not.
What was our violation? After ten years of brutally honest discussion, opinion, deep research and crowdsourcing work -with undeniable citations on the events we outline- there is no cited violation of any term of service because CTH has never violated one.
The WordPress company is not explaining the reason for deplatforming because there is no justifiable reason for it. At the same time, they are bold in their position. Perhaps this is the most alarming part; and everyone should pay attention. They don’t care.
Truthful assembly is now the risk. CTH is now too big; with a site reach of 500,000 to a million unique readers each day; and with well over 200,000 subscribers; our assembly is too large, too influential, and presents a risk… we guard the flickering flame.
Ten years of work assembling a library of factual citations and explanations of those discoveries, positions CTH to be a leading force in the rebel alliance push-back. [Heck, that’s why this place was started… that was our purpose: “The Truth Has No Agenda.”] However, that also makes us a target; hence the deplatforming.
Accepting -at its core- this move is all about politics, this is yet another reference point in the tenuous nature of where we stand. There’s no hate-speech on this website; there’s no graphic, violent, foul or abusive speech here. The ‘content‘ of the Treehouse is the same discussion that happens around your kitchen table or back porch discussion with friends. We would never cheapen or insult that conversation with vulgarity because that’s not who we are… because that’s not who our nation is. So consider this next part very carefully…
The ‘content’ is not compatible with WordPress, the world’s largest website and blog hosting service. The content within the largest blog on that global platform is what has become troublesome. “The content”.
The content on these pages is simply an ongoing discussion about freedom with criticism against any political party or entity that diminishes it. Apparently, immediately after the 2020 election, that discussion became problematic. After writing about the COVID-19 agenda,…the notification: the website will be removed.
Let that settle in…. friends and adversaries alike. Think very hard about what exactly is being represented by these actions. That’s the bad news.
So what are we going to do?
First three priorities: #1 is the security of the site content and research files with over a decade of work; #2) ensuring the ability of our assembly to remain; #3) continue the mission.
In the past several days I have begun contacting people to inform and gather counsel on what is the best course of action. On a very positive note, the Rebel Alliance is stronger than ever and no amount of effort by Big Tech is going to be able to weaken the resolve or block the message.
We will take this challenge head-on and we will use this attack against our freedom as fuel to launch CTH 2.0, a new version of The Conservative Treehouse.
I have no idea yet what it will look like… hopefully not too dissimilar to what we are already comfortable with. However, a lot has changed in the technological world since 2010/2011. There are many new and innovative ways to develop, build and create proprietary platforms.
I don’t like anything about having to be forced to do this. Readers here know I prefer comfortable quality that lasts a long time; but there is no alternative. We are being kicked-off WordPress and will have to assemble on a platform that allows free expression, free thought and free ideas to be shared, valued and appreciated.
Additionally, as I look at preliminary options for Treehouse 2.0, one guiding element is priority: I will continue to work earnestly to be deserving of your support and fellowship.
When this site was launched it was for all of us. A refuge, a place of comfort:
However each of us got here, it’s probably a fact that we have the turmoil of those storms in common, perhaps some unease that we could share and always, we also find fresh ground to cover from day to day. We’re developing valuable relationships as we trust one another in our community in the woods. The chatting in the branches encourages, strengthens and equips for some serious walking.
We think the Treehouse is a good armory for those who doing long distance walking for the sake of our nation. We hope you’ll think so, too. Find yourself a good branch….or just pull up a rock to the campfire.
YOU are what matters!
We have shared laughs. We have lost friends. We have lost family together. We have comforted each-other. We have prayed together… and we have sat still together. Sometimes we are not able to find the words of comfort, yet we know it is just as valuable to be there, quietly, steadfast and eliminate the loneliness. We have cried together and rejoiced in each-other’s milestones… This is the source of my resolve.
We have achieved great victories; confronted injustice; done incredible crowdsourcing work that has made lives better, and we have successfully found the truth behind a multitude of frauds and schemes. Let there be no doubt, that will continue.
I have been somewhat quiet lately as I try to figure out what exactly is the next thing to do. Much like our nation, there is trepidation all around us. It is likely that CTH will look different and we may have to engage and learn some new stuff. But it will be OK.
The rebel alliance is strong… and we are angry.

Boycott WordPress.
This angers and scares me at the same time.
70+M Americans is not a number to piss off. We might not be all edgy with a room full of trophies but we have money, but mostly we have intelligence, not a ‘genders studies degree’.
I look forward to your new location. Personally I always liked Free Republic’s software because you can see how long a person has been a member which makes trolls easier to identify and you can view comments by each person etc. Also easier to know who is replying to what. It’s not perfect but all in all I like it better than wordpress.
Sundance, I hope you can get this done in time. If you can’t how will we find you when you do relocate – will you notify us? Can we do something to help?
More scariness!

Ghost.org looks to be the best alternative. I’m moving my websites there as well.
down with fascism!
This Shall Not Stand.
I just donated. I don’t comment often, but I am here daily, sometimes multiple times a day. This is the most reliable site and so well researched that I understand why the target has come so quickly. We, the people, will not stand for this. We, the people, await your needs list and action plan. We, the people, have the mighty power of prayer. Release the Kraken!
Short term, think Gab, think MeWe. Neither is as elegant as this blog, but might do. Other right wing bloggers might have some advice.
I hope you can retain your content. God bless you!
The easiest solution would be to self-host WordPress on your own host and then you just export/import your old files, activate the same plugins, and can load in this same theme. And because it’s self-hosted, WordPress has absolutely no control over your site or it’s content. They can’t touch you. The key at that point, as far as censorship goes, is the hosting company itself.
Updraft plugin will copy everything. Going to need to repoint domain as well.
… whither thou goest, I will go
Perhaps an Opensource platform could be best. Not controlled by anyone, just distributed.
Emailed – I have space on my server & happy to help xfer. IT person, Veteran. Let me know if I can help.
It feels like such a betrayal…so unAmerican.
Whenever I’ve faced a transition or move with a lot of unknowns, I’ve relied on Hebrew 11:8
“By faith, Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.”
When you are grounded in Truth, though the road is bumpy, the tracks uneven, you never truly get derailed. Buckle up! Migration is a survival skill!
rahrahred—Not unAmerican; ANTI-American!!!! I get more pissed by the day.
WAR!
~Andrew Breitbart ~
A war is coming. It is palatable. It is inevitable. Those whose cherish freedom vs those who wish to enslave us. May freedom reign.
So agree. A contemporary war in the digital age has been commenced some time ago. Deplatforming is an effective assault and transient victory to silence oppositional speech.
Counter assaults against the likes of Big Tech Twitter has been joined by the emergence of Parler. Sundance and devoted Treepers must respond in kind to the next available platform.
Open and civil conversation is a rare gift indeed.
We will follow you where ever you go Sundance .
Where ever you land , we all will land on top of you .
Good thing you have a very strong back !
Betsy- second that 10000 times!
HUZZAH!
This must not be tolerated in a free society. Sundance, you have been the voice of sanity in a world more like 1984. Thank you for giving me strength to face this headwind!!! We will resist! Whatever it takes! We stand with you all. Wherever you migrate the site, I will follow. I just donated to help with expenses. I will be eternally grateful for this website, and all of the commenters and posters. Prayer works!!!
So sorry SD!
However, Word Press can’t be taken at their word…expect “shutoff” during Thanksgiving…
These Globalists Deep State Think Tank Black Ops are evil sick demons…
I was going to say – since WP is obviously okay with arbitrarily applying the terms of their service, then you should at least act as if they intend to find or manufacture a reason to accelerate their process. We’re with you Sundance and this won’t go without response.
This is what happens when there are no repercussions for their tyrannical behavior.
SD – where ever you go, we will follow you and we will support you.
Sorry, Sundance. Please find a way to continue.
He will.
a decent class article on ham radio internet relayers would be good.
i think as desperation grows – we may lose access to all the COUPs products:
– Internet
– Cellular
– ATM and withdrawal
-Online bill pay
traffic lights.. etc
Paging Nellie Ohr. Paging Nellie Ohr…
When they persecuted the believers in Jerusalem the saints fled to other cities, towns and countries….. spreading the good news wherever they went. It must have been unsettling but God had a bigger plan. He made them willing to get out of their comfort zone.
They shut our churches….so we worship in
Walmart, a parking lot or a restaurant!
We will figure this out creatively. Because that’s what we do.
Truth is like bubbles in the bath water, if suppressed in one place it just comes up somewhere else. Let us be irrepressible!
“I tell you these things so that you might have peace.
“ In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!
I have overcome the world”.John 16:33
So true Ifitwerenotsotrue.
The Collosseum in Rome were the Christians once battled the lions for the entertainment of the great Roman rulers now lies in ruins while the Christian religion is now in the majority in that country.
The once tiny 13 Colonies who went up against the powerful country of Britain and won is now the amazing United States of America.
Sundance’s Conservative Treehouse which is now being threatened will come back and win this one too.
We really are not alone.
As the scriptures tell us, we are not alone.
Don’t give up! Fight back! The devil is hard at work all around us!
I receive notifications on my email. Is that enough for you, Sundance, to inform me of your new platform? I found CTH on Breitbart in the comments section after the San Bernadino Massacre. Maybe you can be a part of Newsmax platform for a while. However it plays out i will continue to pray for you and send money when i can.
Hey, who saw *this* coming… So shocking… /s
This is both a tragedy and a travesty but we are with you 100% of the way, SD. We will follow you wherever and whenever. We are a community of diverse individuals whose opinions may differ at times and on issues but we all love freedom and will defend it “with our lives, fortunes and sacred honor.” You are our rallying point. Soldier on, patriots!
You’re not alone Sundance.
Last Friday 13th I received my eviction notice. I have until January 1st to clear out of my home and into my car. Plus Inslee is putting us under lockdown again tomorrow.
Sucks being thrown out to face the middle of winter, increasing Antifa thuggery coming to my city from Portland, and a second wave pandemic on the streets alone.
Praying for you, Raised on Reagan.
Wish there were something more I could do to help you.
Thank you.
Oregon has ramped up lockdown again, too, starting this week. Guess all that masking and social distancing isn’t working as claimed. Nothing worse than having arrogant fools in places of authority.

I haven’t had time to read all comments. Does anyone know how I can contact Sundance for real?
There are many options better, he can host WordPress sites and have a lot of independent control.
He just needs to ask the right question to the right people. Please respond to this question so I can follow up. Presumably there a sufficient number of otherwise qualified people to help him. But, I have an inexpensive, independent alternative to suggest. I will continue to check this today to see if
someone help me know how to reach out.
The contract email is listed above [email protected]
contact
It is on the right side of the page. The last refuge @regan.com I may be wrong, but look at the right side of the main page
Douglas- did you try the email address?
Douglas – There is a place at the top right corner under “contact email” listing an email address
DouglasR,
Top right of page it says Thelastrefuge@reagan,com – that should work and good luck.
To Sundance the old saying of the bombers drawing hell fire when you are over the target could never be more true.
I will follow you wherever your travels take you.
You are the brightest beacon in this darkening world.
We have nothing like you over here in the soviet union of once Great Britain.
My prayers are with you and yours.
Thanks for the direction folks. Composing email now. I am confident we have a solid, secure, independent solution, that will not burn money but keep SD from ever likely being subjected to this infringement again. God Bless and preserve our freedoms!
I am so saddened. I was introduced by a family member and I read everyday as I turned off msm. Please never let us be oppressed.
Praying that God will guide you to the perfect place and that you will thrive even more there. May He bless you mightily!
“19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.“

Oh, it’s on!
“the incompatibility between your site’s content and our terms”
If they say something like that, they need to be able to provide an incompatibility.
“Leftwing ideas are truth. You dispute leftwing ideas. Your ideas are incompatible with our site.”
Hang in there, Sundance.
You have changed the world for the better.
I suggest using https://www.orangewebsite.com/ as a hosting solution. Jim Stone recommended it a few years ago and it is what he uses. They have an option to use a wordpress blog which is not on the wordpress platform so you would not need to change anything! They are a good host based in Iceland.
Sorry to hear, but this is not entirely surprising. A while back I bought tcth.us intending to create a mirror just in case something like this happened. You’ve got infinite options on where and how to host. Will be in touch, if I can be of any assistance.
This is censorship and is a Comunist take over of free speech. How is this not being investigated as hate against free speech of conservative thinking?
Philip Billitteri — Because the Communists are in control.
God bless all the people of The Conservative Treehouse.
May the Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Amen
Dang! It’s worse than double-secret probation. I’ll make the best of it and welcome CTH 2.0. I need a newer, madder looking avatar anyway.
Drive on!
I was kind of getting used to mine!!!! We shall overcome!
Me too.
More proof that we are in a WAR!!
Whistleblowers have been killed – or their family members.
Sundance goes to DC…deplattforming in 5…4…3…
I also recommend people start using Protonmail.com for email…
zephyrbreeze—Good idea.
It is “always” the darkest before the dawn which inspires new life and a better understanding and engagement of true Liberty. They can not stop us as there are millions of us – we outnumber them – we surround them. They are simply destroying their own business models and pushing all of us conservatives to greener and free’er pastures where we can grow and strengthen our determination to restore our country and MAGA!
Thanks for keeping us in the loop Sundance, as you always have done and always will continue to do. We will follow you wherever you go and respect you always. You have kept us informed on so many different levels it’s hard to keep track. I for one am thankful for all your efforts not only on behalf of your followers, But also on behalf of your country. I’ve come to love my little branch in the tree House but will gladly gather my stuff together and move along with you when the time comes.
Never have I seen such a rush to ignorance! Twitter, FB, YouTube, etc. and now this. How we got to a point when dismissing major portions of the human conversation could and would be to the well-being of civilization is beyond me. While not a historian, I have no knowledge of any society advancing by restricting the discussion of ideas, of criminalizing those with differing opinions, nor of marginalizing major segments of the populations. America may well be entering its own dark Ages.
I’ll stay tuned for updates. And, will avail myself to lend support, as limited as this might be, in whatever way I can. “Be not afraid!”
WOW! Panic anyone? (WP)..U know best who, what, where to move fwd. “rumor” has it, CCP China is heavily involved in WP.There r other platforms to use, & cn only do what I cn to support CTH. CTH is now the 4th or 5th org I am aware of, to face this issue. Even “IBM” just lately, de-platformed, Clout Hub a smaller “free speech” site.
It doesn’t take much money to “influence” these websites. It would be money that China or any other person who wants to control content, is well spent.
After reading tweets from some people of Venezuela, I begin to understand what they say. They state how they noted every offense and still lost their country. Calling leftist “useful idiots” is just another notation. The idiots created change for the Russian people, terrible change.
I do not know if what I do is meaningful but I will keep fighting. I can’t put the entire load on PDJT’s shoulders. I do not want regrets.
I am surprised. So many Christian sites use WordPress. Who owns it? I suppose if the religious sites tow the line and don’t get political they’ll avoid trouble for a little while longer. It’s the communist way. WAKE UP AMERICA! THE TAKEOVER IS WELL UNDERWAY, WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING! You and I are next!
We, the Rebel Alliance are with you and we ARE angry. Praying!
I think this will bring more publicity to the Conservative Treehouse, and more “eyes on.”
Hey Lin Wood: Can you conjure up a couple million dollars for Sundance via WordPress?
GoDaddy or Gator have servers with WordPress hosting. Just get an account and upload the site.
