I can't wait to read UncleZook's response to this post Chico!

Zook's goose is apparently cooked, so we will likely not experience any more gatekeeping efforts from him. If he were still working for the Ministry of Truth, he would be ridiculing the very idea that Facebook is a gatekeeping organization, designed not only to collect information, but to steer it in the direction the ruling sociopaths prefer. He would say it's just a "private club" that can treat information however it wants, including censoring it.

But of course, the bulk of the evidence is to the contrary. Censorship is on the web, it's on Facebook, and it's getting worse. Information is now an artificial commodity, like Federal Reserve Notes, that is packaged and sold to investors looking to make a quick buck so they can buy worthless junk that they don't need, junk that damaged the environment when manufactured and which will damage the environment after it is discarded.

Here's more censoring going on at Facebook. Aren't they sneaky bastards, pretending to be "protecting" us. Reminds me of another corrupt corporation headed by Barry Soetoro, (a.k.a Barack Obama, for those just starting to wake up and smell the excrement).

God like productions is far from god like and I have found recently that censorship is used quite arbitrarily there.

"Think like us or die!" That's the problem with like-mindedness. There really is no need to enforce group-think. If there is difference of opinion, that is simply an indication that more investigation and study may be needed. If there is consensus, enforcement of group-think is a non-issue.

So at GLP, we see a slight variation of that maxim that is unfortunately common to most corrupted forums -- "Think like us or be banned!" It's a losing mindset -- rigid, dogmatic, limiting, and ultimately enslaving. You won't find me supporting that kind of mentality, and this forum won't be banning anyone for disagreeing with me (unless, of course, there is consensus ). :idea:

Press TV puts out a lot of good information to a global audience. Surprise -- they are being heavily censored!

Who has the power, the audacity, and the requisite evil intentions to do this? Just your usual suspects -- Israel, the USA, and the UK.

And they claim they want democracy and freedom of speech for all, as long as you do what you're told and say the right things.

1. A sign of our times -- the word "censorship" has become too common on this forum to be able to effectively use it with the forum search engine.

Quote:
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: censorship.


2. I've been trying to get on the following site for days, but without success: http://criminalstate.com/

Jeff Gates is obviously too dangerous to the organized crime organization known as the U.S. government to have unlimited freedom of speech. I would like to offer to help Jeff get his site fixed, but I can't find an email address for him.


3. The Iceberg Warning -- America's fate? Think Titanic.

Post Re: Censorship
Secrecy, censorship, and propaganda are all part of a tyrannical police state. All are components that contribute to public mind control. If you remember your Info Pie, propaganda consists of a portion of easily verifiable truths, a portion of unverifiable lies, and a large portion of withheld information, the very information needed to verify the lies. That large portion is what is censored and kept secret. Propaganda cannot succeed without secrecy and censorship.

The Internet has produced an information revolution, precisely because it was uncensored. That is changing right before our eyes. The message once trumpeted by TV, magazines, and newspapers is moving to the Internet.

Quote:
The message is, "Be a good consumer; always obey authority; you know nothing; listen only to experts; be content and never question or express new ideas." -- source

Though this is the way the Western world once painted Nazi Germany, Russia, China, and North Korea, there is a new reality in our face.

Quote:
At least four countries including Canada, the United States, Australia and the U.K plan to ensure the ISP blocks are in place by 2014. -- source

It has been happening for quite some time. Five years ago, I was being censored by MySpace. Some hyperlinks in my blogs (pointing to Chip Tatum's whistle-blowing, for example) were intercepted and rerouted to a splash page explaining that the website being requested was "naughty" and therefore blocked for public safety reasons. Of course, that was a big fat lie, despite the authoritarian air of the splash page. Facebook has been caught doing the same thing to Jon Rappoport's blogs. Now the censorship is being installed at the very core of the Internet, the ISPs (Internet Service Providers). All information passes through the ISP node before the end-user receives it. Soon, if not already, the ISPs will filter what every one of us sees on the Internet. The censorship will be minimal in the beginning, ramping up until it will be no different than the mainstream media is now, giving us, as George Carlin put it, "the illusion of choice".

Were in big trouble. Real thought is an endangered species. Not only is it being repressed, evidence of its existence is being removed. Much how tyrants erased entire cultures in our past. So they are removing the very architecture of truth as much as they can. Wherever the vacuum of non resistance goes, it invades the space. "It" is eating consciousness...

Censorship is such an atrocious offense to free thinking, I cant even imagine how this translates into Racism, Eugenics or murder? Oh yes I can, I live on planet earth. What is man without reason? In a world outdone by such deceit what information should remained hidden?

When does killing a dog equal censorship?

Maybe this is when.

I quit watching TV about 8 years ago, so I didn't see Lorde's Grammy speech. Even if you do watch TV, you didn't see her speech either, because it was censored. Apparently, they switched to a previously recorded rehearsal tape without the viewing public even noticing.

Heck, I don't even know who Lorde is. But with a censored Grammy speech like this one, I think I should find out!

Lorde wrote:
Lorde’s Suppressed Grammy Award acceptance speech (Full Transcript)
26 January 2014


Thank you soo much everyone for making this song explode because this world is mental. (Laughter) Planet Earth is run by psychopaths that hide behind slick marketing, ‘freedom’ propaganda and ‘economic growth’ rhetoric,[1] while they construct a global system of corporatized totalitarianism.

As American journalist Chris Hedges has identified, a corporate totalitarian core thrives inside a fictitious democratic shell.[2] This core yields an ‘inverted’ totalitarian state that few recognize because it does not look like the Orwellian world of Nineteen Eighty-four.[3]

This corporate totalitarian core is spreading outward from America. Planet Earth is being rapidly militarized by the world’s major and significant states, including their police forces.[4] Meanwhile, state surveillance is becoming universal[5] and torture is outsourced to gulags.[6]

Can we not imagine that in past times, simple folk found it hard to work out exactly how they were being manipulated by the Royal monarchies, and the Papal monarchy, who claimed a ‘divine right to rule’? Ordinary people from classical times through to the demise of the Ancient Regime could not see how the rivalrous network of elites and oligarchs were linked, not least because the illiterate masses were indoctrinated to believe in their humble lot, to obey divinely-endorsed authority and to live in fear of damnation.

So, in today’s mental world, it should become clearer now that Planet Earth is ruled by super-wealthy people, who use their outrageous fortunes to steer the trajectories of whole societies for their own material and political gain.[7] These oligarchs are, in fact, colluding for economic gain and conspiring to augment more political power.[8] Armies of professional, political, religious and military elites serve them.[9] Together, they comprise a highly-networked transnational capitalist class that has been traced in studies by: Peter Phillips and Brady Osborne;[10] William K. Carroll;[11] David Rothkopf;[12] Daniel Estulin;[13] and Laurence H. Shoup and William Minter.[14]

As Canadian journalist Naomi Klein has argued in her book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, ‘free markets’ were slickly marketed in the 1980s and 1990s with the idea that they would deliver individual freedom and prosperity for all.[15] Klein also wrote that the use of military violence to facilitate the spread of ‘free markets’ in the field-testing stage from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s has continued into the 2000s. Her view is supported in Eugene Jarecki’s documentary Why We Fight, which compellingly showed that America fights wars to make the world secure for its corporations.[16] So, get reading and viewing! (Lorde giggles and half the audience rises to their feet applauding. The other half remain fixed in their chairs. Some reluctantly clap.)

Thank you soo much everyone for giving a shit about our song, ‘Royals’. May you all find the balls to help construct a world based on resilient community, bona-fide freedom, and peace. To do that, we will need to redeploy the psychopaths that currently run the world to the planet’s prisons.[17] Peace cannot happen with reconciliation. That was Nelson Mandela’s mistake.[18] The first step to peace is justice firmly served.
