With the mounting attacks on free speech and press around the globe and also in the United States, the indictment of yet another alternative tech CEO would not be surprising. With Brazil’s move to ban X(Twitter) and the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov by the French, Americans are ripe to believe, and expect, indictments on Gab CEO Andrew Torba and Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski. And so fake indictment was circulated.
Interestingly enough, the fraudulent images target their residential states. Andrew Torba quickly took to social media to announce he has not been indicted yet.
My lawyer got in touch with the FBI, and their response was ambiguous to say the least. They said they can’t, as a matter of policy, confirm whether someone has an arrest warrant out on them or not. If there were one out, it wouldn’t be public, and they would have just gone out and picked me up. You would think they would be interested in a forged federal indictment floating all over the internet, but I digress.
So, I think we’re in the clear, but who knows? Perhaps I’ll be woken up at 5am to an FBI raid on my home. Crazier things have happened on my journey building Gab and dedicating my life’s work to defending free speech online at great personal and financial cost.
We live in an age of chaos and uncertainty, which is why I am so thankful to serve and worship God who brings order and peace. I long ago accepted that lawfare, jail, and some form of witch hunt were on the table for the Regime to attack me with. I am at peace knowing that God is sovereign over my life and I trust fully in His plan.
I suspect that this is likely a disinformation psyop campaign being run against me by any number of foreign governments that I’ve angered for refusing to censor content over the years, but I won’t rule out anything given the state of things.
Andrew Torba suspects that floating his indictment was an op.
