Cloudflare is a giant MitM proxy.

man, I love your username
And your'e right about it being a kind of gatekeeper. I've seen it fail for alternative media sites RIGHT WHEN they have a surge of traffic because they dropped something Q related and important. Of course, if they fail for that reason, they undermine the entire purpose of their service, which is ddos/flood protection...they are supposed to be a load balancing caching reverse proxy with some intelligence to block ddos traffick, but instead, they are a TRUTH GATEKEEPER MITM proxy, with advanced Deepstate censorship features

Because many services ban directly connecting to IP, primarily because they are using distributed systems / load balancing or VPS hosted on a big service so they can take advantage of the wide pipe (bandwidth) that the colocation facilities have
There may be other reasons also, like for instance, FORCING you to use DNS (which I suspect)
The reason to force you to use DNS is to create a log of each and every website and each and every http / https request you make in order to track you.
That is why some have pushed DNScrypt and DNSsec, but they aren't widely availalbe and btw I speak as an expert on the subject (linux admin who has experience with this), it works beautifully until suddenly it doesn't and your whole dns traffic is hijacked by a man in the middle dns attack so that you cannot reach ANYTHING for a certain amount of time (I call it being given a DNS 'timeout', like a bad little kid). They are somehow able to do this at an upstream provider level (who your local isp gets their internet from);
They do this--I believe (and this is speculation and conspiracy theory now) to keep you from using encrypted DNS, because they want to track you
It has the same pattern and practice of the kind of harassment that patriots get from using a VPN software

Project Galileo, a program through which Cloudflare provides services, free of charge, to politically and artistically important groups that need protection. “We rely on our Project Galileo partners—such as the ACLU or Amnesty International—to help us identify groups that are important to protect because they are likely to come under attack.”
Fuck him

All of these deepstate online services / big tech companies are intelligence community (darpa/dod/cia) linked, and specifically to the five eyes network when they operate internationally (like amz)

The Lobby who controls the stupid who are in Congress get the money and power. They only have to pay niggers like SJL and AOC for the payoff. Your vote does not matter faggots

That’s how the deep state keeps their power, also “follow the blood line”.

They are so intertwined it amazes me. There are SO many of them and they are everywhere.

Remember how important federal judges are to President Trump, they’ll be earning their pay soon I hope.
