It is amazing to consider that less than 6 weeks ago CTH was notified of the deplatforming of our corner of the internet.  However, what is even more amazing is how fortunate we were to find a group of people, with a very specific set of skills, who knew exactly how to counter these efforts of Big Tech…  And they pulled-off an amazingly stable website architecture in two weeks.

CTH is thankful beyond imagining. Your support in this endeavor is cherished and appreciated.

We are roughly three weeks into the stabilizing phase of the site construct and while there is a lot of work ahead, the outcome is remarkable.   Here’s some updates for readers and users:

What we have created, and are continuing to build-out, is something new in the landscape of web-hosting and websites.  CTH is running stable on a platform where no user data is ever captured.  Not a single element of user privacy is controlled by any internal architecture.  Meaning, there’s not a single element of your CTH engagement that is not controlled by you, 100%.  In the modern era of websites, this is a paradigm shift.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

This post is based on one I’ve done in the past, but I’ve updated it some. I hope you enjoy it again.

The Secret Sam was my favorite Christmas present as a child. I still have it, and I will keep it, or perhaps pass it on to a grandchild. Oh, how I was excited and hoping the year I asked for my own Secret Sam. My mother told me it was a boy’s toy, but I was never a Barbie doll girl.

That was my spy year, my year of intrepid adventures around the neighborhood. It was one of my last Christmases as a child, I think, wanting toys and dreaming of adventures. Not too many years later, perhaps even the next one, my Christmas gifts would be stereos and albums, bell bottom jeans and paisley print turtlenecks.

Perhaps that is why the memory of it is such a treasure to me.

This year my grandchildren will be blessed with the breathless anticipation of what might be under the tree Christmas morning. They will be late to bed, too excited to sleep easily, and early to rise, rushing to the living room in all the excitement and wonder a child can have.  (more…)
