The British tabloid, The Sun, comes out with another story against the Rumble video platform today, receiving considerable condemnation for the threats and implications that appear to be coordinated by the Murdoch network.
The original sketchy hit against Russell Brand came from the Murdoch owned publication The Sunday Times.
The British Parliament then weighed in, demanding that Rumble deplatform, censor or demonetize Mr. Brand.
The Sun tabloid is now claiming that Rumble will be “regulated by UK media watchdog Ofcom under the new Online Safety Bill, which was approved by Parliament last week and is due to become law next month.” Additionally, they claim, “failing to co-operate with Ofcom could put Rumble executives at risk of arrest if visiting Britain, it has been suggested.”
That latter claim is pure fear-porn, driven by interests who want to control the overall internet content of information on behalf of the Public-Private partnership, technically government.
However, look closely at the alignment of interests pushing this anti-Rumble narrative, and you will note something very interesting.
The Associated Press is pushing a story today that Rumble’s relationship with the Fox News Business GOP debate implicates the Republican Party with, “far-right extremism, bigotry, election disinformation and conspiracy theories.” The Fox Business News network is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Noticing anything yet?
Stay with me, this is going to get interesting…..
[AP] – […] By bringing viewers to Rumble to watch the second GOP debate, as it did with the first one last month, the Republican National Committee is driving potential voters to a site crawling with content that flouts the rules of more mainstream platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
Earlier this year, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said using Rumble instead of YouTube as its livestreaming partner was a decision aimed at “getting away from Big Tech.”
Asked about the criticism of the platform, the RNC said in an email that “hate, bigotry and violence is unfortunately prevalent on every social media platform, and the RNC condemns it entirely, but the RNC does not manage content or pages outside of our own.”
Rumble, founded in 2013, prides itself on being “immune to cancel culture.” Its website says “everyone benefits when we have access to more ideas, diverse opinions, and dialogue.”
That approach has catapulted the site to popularity in recent years as many conservatives have sought alternative social media companies that won’t remove their posts or suspend their accounts for false or inflammatory content. The company, which went public in 2022, has been backed by conservative donors such as venture capitalist Peter Thiel and Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio. (read more)
The Rumble platform is growing, as more content providers find that Rumble will stand beside them firmly against censorship and efforts to silence their voice. Content providers are flocking to Rumble as a free and safe alternative to YouTube. That has put Rumble in the position of being a threat to those who want control over information.
There is obviously an organized effort underway to target Rumble as we head into the 2024 election, and none of these suddenly appearing efforts are a coincidence.
Here’s my working theory.
Elon Musk needs money. The finance side of the “X platform”, or what was previously called Twitter, is very fragile – with $1.5 billion in annual debt service ($12.5bn loan), and roughly another $750+ million in operating expenses (Amazon cloud $200m, Google cloud $200m, payroll $350m est). After Musk stripped it down, Twitter still costs around $2.25bn per year. Current revenue is around $1bn from advertising and a few million from subscribers. Musk has been looking for answers, and that’s why he hired Linda Yaccarino.
Billionaire Club – There is an alignment of interests here. Musk wants eyeballs so he can give Yaccarino tools to sell the platform to potential advertising corporations. Tucker Carlson is an eyeball resource for Musk. However, I suspect Rupert Murdoch is the silent financial bridge that Elon needed. That explains why Ron DeSantis was launched on Twitter.
Recently Rupert Murdoch stated he was stepping down from the board of Fox. This would clear the runway of leftist controversy in supporting Twitter. At the same time, Murdoch’s media empire is launching attacks against Rumble and has a connection to all of the anti-Rumble narratives swirling. [😉 Imagine if Tucker Carlson found out Musk and Murdoch were aligned.]
According to insider sources, not directly connected to Rumble, Peter Thiel is dumping Rumble stock and may be using that money to invest in a rumored Tucker Carlson media platform. The one thing they (Peter, Elon, Rupert) would not want is for Tucker to switch his transitional broadcast away from Twitter.
I suspect that behind this obvious Murdoch targeting of Rumble, there’s something like this that connects this all to the Murdoch effort to manipulate political outcomes. This guy is notorious for trying to manipulate U.S. politics, and the next story that follows is a clear example…..
Last points.
We need to support Rumble.
When an ally in the fight against those attempting to control information comes under attack, we need to support them. Here’s three ways:
♦ Download the app.
♦ Invest in Rumble stock.
♦ Become a registered user on the platform.
Apparently Dan Bongino who was a major investor in Parler and saw it go down is a major investor in Rumble and has declared war on the Murdochs because he will not have this happen again!!! I think I would be very careful with Dan, this man has actually used a weapon to shoot people, albeit as a law enforcement officer but it also means he is probably VERY RUTHLESS!!! 😳
Yeah, I saw Matt Dillon use a weapon (I think it was a gun) to shoot someone on an episode of “Gunsmoke” once.
(Do I need to label this is as sarcasm?)
🤣👍
Yeah, he shot Chester in the leg. It’s why he limps …
Good thing he missed Miss Kitty.
Only the part that is in parentheses
(Wait a minute, am I being sarcastic now?)
Dan is VERY MUCH IN THE RNC’s pocket. He refuses to call out the criminal RNC, does not tell the truth about Florida and still supports DeSantis, too.
(Did you see that DeSantis was begging the Bushes for $ and held a campaign event with the disgraced TX House Speaker? 🙄 Obvious much?)
I figured it out because he has had Lisa Boothe sub for him a few times, she is a paid DeSantis influencer.
You cannot tell the truth on syndicated radio – he is NOT telling his listeners the whole truth at all. It’s gotten so aggravating I don’t listen anymore.
Oh please. Is there no limit to yours and others’ cynicism? You claim he still supports DeSantis. He does not. I’ve heard him a dozen times on his podcast say he’s a Trump guy, he’s for Trump. If you’re going to spew, make sure you spew truth.
Exactly. He loves Ron as Governor. Trump for President. Bongino makes no bones about his preferences.
re: “Dan is VERY MUCH IN THE RNC’s pocket. He refuses to call out the criminal RNC”
I don’t think you listen too clearly. Dan is the one who outright states “There are Republicans who are Democrats, but there are no Democrats who are Republicans. “
Dan Bongino is a grifter just like all of the others. He’s a 1 sting banjo just like Hannity. The only thing entertaining was when he and Geraldo would get into it on TV.
-1; As you demonstrate you are not a listener/haven’t listened.
Had an Android update yesterday. Was impossible to get a Rumble podcast to play though they played perfectly yesterday. Phone kept flipping between 5G and LTE. Podcasts would run, then freeze. Run then freeze.
Now, if it was “approved” content from say Spotify – came through clear as a bell.
I hate being told what I can and can’t listen to.
Make sure you are accusing the right party. Google controls that phone and you might need to get a degoogled phone to be free in your own choices.
I think GrapheneOS provides a Droid-safe phone experience, but you may need a little tech help to install, depending on your background.
Or buy a used/refurb Pixel and try it there 1st before making the switch. If you have a SIM card, then u can pop it in the other phone to try Graphene.

I was told by a Verizon Tech that I needed to update my phone soon, because SOON (I can’t remember when) that the Verizon Network was going to 5G only.
I was told the same by ATT- my iPhone is almost 6 years old.
They have built in obsolescence to force consumers to upgrade. They used to do it on the software side but then got pinged.
Now they build in hardware “over degradation,” via the batteries and also get you on the network side of things- the 5G.
I am having the same problem. And I am pissed off .
I have similar trouble !
I’ve had similar experiences with Safari. Certain days Rumble just stops. No rhyme or reason. Can have 3 bars and 5g. Figured the Feds are checking in.
re: “Phone kept flipping between 5G and LTE. Podcasts would run, then freeze. Run then freeze.”
CELLPHONE PROBLEM.
I’m using a 2008 Dell Optiplex 755 Core2 Duo proc running Windows Xp using an oddball browser called Mypal68 and Rumble plays JUST FINE.
Per Fidelity Investments, Rumble stock (RUM) is heavily shorted at the moment (11.2 million shares or 14.26% of float / almost 7 days to cover short positions). It will take some VERY heavy buying over several days to the upside to squeeze the shorts out of their positions. Back of the envelope, at least $20 million to get the ball rolling.
Would be hilarious if there was a repeat of that GameStop incident with all those traders taking big losses on a failed short trade option on Rumble stock.
Buy, baby, buy!
I smell Blackrock.
IMPEACH ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS….!!!!!

Sorry, you are right. Totally off subject, but still valid goal. Thanks for the observation.
Are you on the wrong post? Mayorkas isn’t part of this post.
AMEN! Like YESTERDAY, or LAST YEAR!
Also Tucker seems to continue to say things that sound very “loyal” when he brings up Murdoch. Despite everything that happened. I don’t think any of these plans to take down Rumble will succeed, unless you’re saying that they want to buy out Rumble.
I do believe Tucker is still on contract with Fox News. That’s why he doesn’t charge for his content right now. Eyeballs are far more valuable than money to him, but that doesn’t mean he wants to have to go to court and spend his money.
Exactly, he has to be careful about what he says about his current and soon to be former employer. So, he really isn’t free to expound on that situation and possibly some things he was working on there. However, he is obviously no longer under the chains FOX had on him to not bad mouth their advertisers. That is a huge benefit for the American people. He can speak truth to power in most areas. He is unlikely to say anything about Musk or X/Twitter as long as he depends on them for eyeballs.
I prefer Rumble over YouTube.
Rumble is my first choice.
Never subscribed though.
I don’t like apps.
Was going to make an exception and
just saw that you can watch
Rumble on Roku.
Going to plug in the TV
tomorrow and see if I can
figure out how to set it
up😆
That is how I get my Rumble every day!!
ROKU
re: “Never subscribed though. I don’t like apps.”
More-on (I’m trying to be kind). You DON’T need to use the app to register and get a username on Rumble.
USE A BROWSER of your choice. Geez. Do ppl have to be told everything?
Admin – can you tell me why none of my posts show up? Thanks
I checked, and there’s nothing of yours in our trash bin. 🙁
If you send us an email, I can send you a screencap of your latest comments that we HAVE received.
Not only do I watch Rumble daily but as the stock has dropped I’ve had an opportunity to buy more of it. All of you should.
humm. I thought the theory was gonna be Rupert soon investing in/joining Board of X.
Hmmm…..I don’t know about this. I’ve never trusted Rumble, frankly, perhaps due to the questions about those that were financially supporting it. Peter Thiel was a big red flag for me. You might have noticed that creators that were seriously targeted, didn’t go on to Rumble, but instead on to Bitchute. I’m not convinced that Rumble isn’t part of the problem, and while having been put out there as a ‘free speech alternative’, is really controlled opposition.
Hey look, new name and they magically are against Rumble…
It’s just a coincidence folks.
But J Brown, with us, unlike the British Government and the US government, we allow you to make up your own mind.
🫢, 🦁 and 🐯 and 🐻, OH MY!
I have absolutely no idea what your comment means
You are missing out on a lot by avoiding Rumble.
I don’t avoid Rumble, I just don’t trust that it is the answer to a ‘free speech platform’ without something going on behind the scenes. Of course, you can also say that you’re missing a lot by avoiding You Tube, no??
Headquartered right here in my hometown of Sarasota, FL……..Good people!!
Which Rumble app is the right one to be able to listen to Tucker, etc? Looking at the Apple Appstore, there are several. Sorry for being App-ignorant!
Forget an app. Just go to rumble.com.
re: “Which Rumble app is the right one to be able to listen to Tucker, etc?”
OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. JUST USE A -wait for it- A BROWSER!!!!!
Eureka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rumble will not back down to the tyrannical elites who feel that absolute rule is theirs for the taking, and all who believe likewise need to fight the good fight in any and every way possible in order to send these want-to-be tyrants’ notice: We Will Not Submit!
I LOVE RUMBLE! Lots of patriots there, and others as well. Truly a free speech platform.
Cancelled my YouTube but still go there since there’s some really good gun content, etc. I wish Rumble had as much stuff cause I hate the YouTube ownership.
So, Elon’s grandfather was Joshua Hadelman.( Technocracy Inc.) Elon is a type of obama( not the gay muslim type tho). i dont think
I would like to see Rumble have captioning. It is a must for me to view video content.
I would too. It took them a while to get the also essential 10-second forward and back buttons but they (mostly) have them now.
Maybe worth contacting their support and asking for the captioning feature. Squeaky wheels…
Is Rupert Murdoch really that smart? Undoubtedly he’s power-mad, but I detect the guiding hand of the CCP behind his attacks on Trump and other freedom media and organizations. The characteristics of the CCP, as I see them, are:
Xi has already declared war on the US and Murdoch IMHO is just another bought-off tool, as is his son.
Whoever these people are, whether CCP, Khazarian Mafia, Globalists, or whatever you want to call them, they are anti-human in every respect. I would not be surprised to learn that they are non-human, a la the “They Live” movie. The Game is a lot bigger than we think, in my opinion.
The more this goes on, the more I believe US government IC is at the top of this pyramid. They can’t allow things they cannot control. Twitter, they thought, would be controlled but so far, even though some strange things have happened, it continues to not cancel those who would be cancelled. And when the US government can’t do the bidding, they get other governments to do it.
Rumble DOES NOT WORK properly in Canada. ive had issues with it for 3+ years. I’m able to view about %5 of the Rumble content i click on. 95% of the time the video freezes and won’t play. I wish someone would look into this
I repeat Rumble has NEVER WORKED PROPERLY in Canada
We’ve shift to Rumble in our house as much as possible.
Good sound practical advice.
Who else streams to Rumble? Real Americas Voice.
Thank you, Sundance!
Rumble is my preferred platform! I am a registered user of the platform but did not realize I could invest in Rumble stock. I will do that!
Rumble is awesome.
Rumble’s great, but it isn’t the “free speech” platform it bills itself as. The only truly free speech platform is Gab. You can like it or hate it, but it’s a fact.
Everything Rumble is being praised for — resisting the UK’s censorship demands, etc. — Gab has been doing for years without fanfare.
I like Rumble, but it doesn’t have near the reach of X. I like Rumble, but it doesn’t support free speech like Gab. It kinda sits in the middle somewhere.
