The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree is found in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 13:6-9). This parable, told by Jesus, is about a man who had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. When he came looking for fruit on it and found none, he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I have been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’ However, the vineyard keeper asked for patience, suggesting to leave it for one more year, during which he would dig around it and fertilize it. If it bore fruit next year, fine; if not, then it could be cut down.

The concept of the Parallel Economy has gained significant traction in recent years largely thanks to Gab’s multi-year effort to mainstream the concept. A Parallel Economy is a network of businesses and consumers who prioritize values, ethics, and principles over sheer commercial interests. People are no longer content with merely boycotting brands that don’t align with their convictions; they seek to actively support businesses that champion their values and we seek to help them do so on Gab.
This week a comprehensive article in progressive magazine The New Republic delved into the emergence of the parallel economy with a particular emphasis on Gab’s role in spearheading it.

Dear Gab Community,
In a digital age where online platforms seem to bow to external pressures and censorship demands, Gab proudly stands as a bastion of free speech. We’ve weathered storms, faced adversity, and stood firm in our commitment to protect your right to speak freely. Recent events, highlighted by the #BantheADL movement, have once again illuminated the vital role Gab plays in defending free speech.
Over the past few days a grassroots campaign popped up on X calling for the platform to ban the ADL. The campaign, united around the hashtag #BantheADL, has been trending on the platform for days with hundreds of thousands of posts.
Greetings Gab Community,
Today, I want to address a matter of utmost importance – the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) law, its implications, and our stance as a platform committed to protecting free speech. The law goes into effect starting today and Gab will not be complying.
It is with great excitement and conviction that I introduce you to our latest offering from Gab Press, a book that holds the potential to ignite a transformative movement in a world deeply divided, manipulated, and re-engineered. The Boniface Option: A Strategy For Christian Counteroffensive in a Post-Christian Nation, penned by the nationally bestselling co-author of Christian Nationalism: A Biblical Guide For Taking Dominion And Discipling Nations, Andrew Isker, is a clarion call for Christians to rise from the ashes of a society turned upside down and rediscover the path to a life imbued with purpose, faith, and resistance. It is already quickly climbing up the charts and is a number one new release on Amazon in multiple categories.
Dear Gab Community,
We want to keep you informed about an important development involving Gab and its commitment to preserving the principles of free speech and open discourse. Our platform, which is based in the United States, has recently received a censorship demand from a foreign country – New Zealand. We feel it is our responsibility to share this news with you, as transparency is crucial in upholding the values we hold dear. As many of you already know we regularly turn down censorship demands from foreign governments including France, Germany, and the UK among others.
Hello Gabbers,
Today we celebrate a remarkable milestone: Gab’s 7th birthday. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come since those early days and I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the challenges we’ve overcome, the battles we’ve fought, and the victories we’ve achieved together.
In the world of social media the battle between preserving free speech and maintaining a “civil online environment” has been a subject of intense debate for years. Traditional platforms like Facebook have taken a heavily censored approach, while alternative platforms like Gab.com have positioned ourselves as champions of free speech. Recent academic research has shed light on the impact of these differing approaches, revealing surprising results that challenges preconceived notions about Gab.
A newly surfaced undercover video has revealed a concerning truth: the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) seems to be exerting a significant amount of influence over the policies of X (formerly known as Twitter.) The video implies that the ADL may be calling the shots at X with the primary objective of preventing users from joining alternative platforms like Gab.
