HACKED:What Happens When You Refuse to Stay Quiet

I write this frustrated, but with a smile, because I know exactly why this is happening.

Not because of clickbait.
Not because of reckless posts.
Not because of misinformation.

But because facts are dangerous to systems that depend on control.

My Instagram account, BASE THE NATION, has been growing rapidly. I take pride in the work I put into every post. I do not hide my bias, but I also refuse to pass opinion off as fact. I research. I source. I document. I let people see the information for themselves and decide what they believe.

That approach has consequences.

My account was targeted. Not hijacked. I am Meta verified. I pay for that verification. Yet due to an error in Meta’s own recovery process, I have been locked out of my verified account and told I may need to wait up to 3 weeks, maybe, to regain access.

An account with over 30,000 followers.
A verified account.
A paying customer.

And still, no urgency. No resolution. Just silence.

This did not come out of nowhere. Since my very first posts, my content has been throttled. Visibility restricted. Reach suppressed. The reason is simple. I do not play along. I challenge narratives using facts, and when facts cannot be debated, the next step is to silence the person presenting them.

At one point, I commented on a local congressman’s page asking him to propose a bill that would make it illegal for politicians to use misleading titles in their propositions and laws. That was it. No threats. No insults. A request for honesty.

Minutes later, my comment was flagged for violating community guidelines.

Asking for honesty is now a violation.

Another moment made the reality impossible to ignore. I posted a political cartoon about socialism. Two men held a fork the size of a door labeled “SOCIALISM” near a light socket. One asked, “EVERYONE ELSE WHO TRIED THIS HAS GOTTEN HURT.” The other replied “EVERYONE ELSE DID IT THE WRONG WAY” a reference to the countless historical failures of socialism.

That post was flagged for promoting self harm.

I appealed. Minutes later, Meta admitted they made a mistake and restored the post. Then, just as quickly, it was flagged again. This time, I received automated messages offering therapists in case I wanted to hurt myself. I was banned from going live for a year, and my content was suppressed.

This is what happens when satire exposes uncomfortable truths.

I am not a news anchor. I am not funded by donors. I am not a sponsored advertiser. I am a regular American who got tired of watching this country bend to the loudest voices in the room while hardworking Americans of every race, gender, and religion were pushed aside and told to accept propaganda disguised as news.

To be clear, every political party engages in messaging. That is reality. But the left has turned narrative control into an art form. From voter ID to illegal immigration, we are told it is unfair to require identification to vote. Yet that same ID is required to buy alcohol, board a plane, enter a nightclub, or pick up mail.

Pointing out that contradiction should spark debate. Instead, it triggers punishment.

So what is the point of this blog?

It is to make something very clear.

They cannot win.

And “they” is not a party or a person. It is a culture of censorship that replaces debate with suppression. A system that flags questions instead of answering them. When arguments fail, silencing becomes the strategy.

To my fellow Americans, do not self censor. Do not go quiet. Make your voices loud, respectful, and informed. There are more of us than they want you to believe.

And to Facebook and Instagram, do better. If you charge people for verification, require extensive documentation, and promise protection, then locking verified users out for weeks due to algorithmic failures is unacceptable. When paying customers risk losing access to their platforms while being told to wait and hope, trust disappears.

Whether intentional or not, the pattern feels selective. When the Hunter Biden story surfaced, sharing it was restricted almost immediately. When violent content involving public figures circulated, it remained visible for days. When a verified Facebook page and a verified Instagram account with the same name cannot be linked back to their owner, it raises serious questions.

Truth should not require permission.
Facts should not trigger penalties.
And access to your own verified platform should not depend on waiting weeks while algorithms decide your fate.
