Facebook Yields to Pressure: Reactivates Political Critics’ Accounts

Outcry Leads Facebook to Back Off Away from Overt Censorship

Prominent political critics confirmed to us that their accounts had been suspended or inactivated yesterday in a coordinated purge.

But after we – and others – slammed the censorship, the activists’ accounts have been reinstated.

Peter Dale Scott told us:

The issue seems indeed to have been activism, but of many varieties, including gun advocacy. Above all it seems to have affected many more accounts in England than here. See the Guardian story on my webpage, now restored, also this:

It is possible we [9/11 activists] were marginal victims of a procedure designed to prevent flash mobs (which alas we will never be).

Ejournalism seems to have taken care of the problem. Let’s take heart from this.

Michel Rivero writes:

Last night while I was sleeping the Magic Elves turned my Facebook account back on. I understand that most if not all of the other accounts were also switched back on. Frankly, I am honored to have been included in the list of leading political critics thus attacked. I feel like I made the varsity team!

Not a word of explanation has been forthcoming from Facebook. This, I think, rules out an external hacker attack.

The lesson to be learned here is that the alternative media has more power to affect change than we ourselves fully comprehend, and it is time to use that power.

Mike Adams of Natural News reports:

Facebook … suspended our account and gave us a “final warning” that one more violation of their so-called “community guidelines” would result in our account being permanently deactivated.

They then demanded we send them a color copy of a “government issued identification” in order to reactivate our account. Our account was removed from suspension just minutes before InfoWars posted its article on this Facebook censorship, and the Facebook page is now functioning at:

Facebook Bans Gandhi Quote as Part of Revisionist History Purge

The Intel Hub

By Mike Adams
Natural News
December 28, 2012

The reports are absolutely true. Facebook suspended the Natural News account earlier today after we posted an historical quote from Mohandas Gandhi. The quote reads:

“Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.” – Mohandas Gandhi, an Autobiography, page 446.

This historical quote was apparently too much for Facebook’s censors to bear.

They suspended our account and gave us a “final warning” that one more violation of their so-called “community guidelines” would result in our account being permanently deactivated.

They then demanded we send them a color copy of a “government issued identification” in order to reactivate our account.

Our account was removed from suspension just minutes before InfoWars posted its article on this Facebook censorship, and the Facebook page is now functioning at:
www.Facebook.com/NaturalNews

This is a separate account from our primary Facebook account, which has nearly 250,000 followers at:
www.Facebook.com/HealthRanger

Logic is an enemy and history is a menace

That Facebook would choose to disable our account after we posted a Gandhi quote is incredibly shocking. The historical rise of oppressed Indian people against tyrannical British rule is apparently no longer allowed to be discussed on Facebook.

The very IDEA of a free people overcoming tyrannical government rule now “violates community guidelines.” The removal of this content is akin to online book burning and the destruction of history.

This post was not in any way malicious, nor encouraging violence, nor even describing guns or the Second Amendment. It merely reflected the words of one of our world’s most celebrated rebel leaders who helped an entire nation throw off the shackles of oppression and British occupation. That Facebook would find this to “violate community guidelines” is nothing short of absolutely bewildering.

Here is the full image as originally posted on Facebook. Keep in mind that THIS is now considered unacceptable speech across the “Facebook community,” where any number of people can openly call for the murder of the NRA president and have absolutely no action taken against them:

InfoWars.com is also now reporting that Facebook is running an across-the-board PURGE of pro-gun accounts. A huge number of accounts are all being systematically disabled or suspended, with all content being wiped clean.

We have entered the era of the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell’s 1984 novel. And while Facebook assaults the First Amendment in America, Senator Feinstein is busy assaulting the Second.

Facebook declares war on human history

What’s especially alarming about all this is that Gandhi himself was of course a champion of resistance against tyranny.

To banish quotes from Gandhi is much like banning quotes of freedom from Martin Luther King (who also openly supported concealed firearms, by the way, and who personally owned an entire “arsenal” of firearms).

What’s next? Will Facebook ban quotes by Thomas Jefferson and George Washington?

Any and all patriots, founding fathers and liberty lovers throughout history might soon be stricken from the Facebook servers, and any who dare to post historical quotes supporting liberty, the Bill of Rights, or the Second Amendment risk having their accounts terminated and all content deleted.

Collectivist propaganda has now reached a point where you can’t even discuss liberty or anything out of history that supported the right to keep and bear arms.

You are required to stay focused solely on celebrity gossip, sports stars, fashion distractions and tabloid garbage. Anyone who wishes to discuss actual American history must now go underground and speak softly in dimly-lit rooms, behind secret walls and drawn curtains.

The era of total oppression and collectivist mind control has fully arrived in America. This is not hyperbole… IT IS HERE NOW.

Memorize this quote, because it too shall soon be purged from the internet:

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” – Thomas Jefferson.

Dare to post that on Facebook and you risk your account being disabled or deleted.

Snap Out Of It!

ZenGardner.com
December 19, 2012

by Zen Gardner

I’m sick of hearing this nauseating, pointless moaning and sloppy emotional crap about the latest slaughter in Connecticut. I’m even seeing it in segments of this so-called alternative movement. “Let’s reflect on the terrible problem of growing violence in our country during this season” and blah blah blah.

How the hell do you think it got that way, to the extent that it’s even really true?

It’s staged! It’s engineered! It’s imposed on us! By the very ones accusing us of being violent and needing to be heavily policed and monitored and now disarmed and who knows what else!

Don’t you get it?

Never mind the absolutely outrageous hypocrisy, as they murder innocent children around the world in massive numbers. Where are the tears for them, you lying murderous hypocrites? Absolutely disgusting!

Righteous Anger Clears the Head and Heart

This may seem obvious to some, but I don’t think it’s nearly clear enough to most. The only reaction that counts at a time like this is righteous anger and indignation!

How much longer will these covert agencies be allowed to waltz in and stage terrorist events and blame it on some patsy and imply it’s some “social problem” that needs “meaningful action”? They cordon off the crimes scenes for days while the story gets put in place. Then they blatantly lie in our faces about this lone gunman bullshit while quashing all testimony to the contrary, even threatening action against those who say anything contrary! People should be screaming!

And then they run absolute DRIVEL in the media counseling us how to react, preying on weeping and distraught parents and loved ones while the predatory press rams their agenda down everyone’s gaping throats.

“Lean forward”, says Obama and CNBC. What so you can ram it up our butts?

9/11 anyone? Waco, OK City? Norway shooter? Columbine, Ft. Hood, Batman and Sikh temple shootings? So you bastards weren’t getting the desired full effects yet since so many saw how staged the first ones were?…or maybe some foreign agency wanted to join in the sick action and really screw with things?

Hence the monstrous Newtown massacre of innocent children. Just like them. And it’s working like a charm.

And this LIE needs to get blown wide open to high heaven so everyone can see the Truth!

After All, We’re To Blame

Reminds me of the man-made global warming bullshit. While humanity hasn’t been good to the planet–mainly led by the hellish war machine and rapacious industrialists–the main thing that’s man-made that’s by far the most significant about global warming is the fucking chemtrail program and other technologies being carried out by them, leading to fully manipulated weather and a totally screwed up collapsing atmosphere, accelerating the depletion of the ozone layer with the concurrent release of methane in our oceans, something barely anyone is talking about.

With the solar maximum hitting us at the same time, we’re on track for a man-exacerbated global disaster if these programs aren’t shut down. (Learn more here.)

But no, we’re the bad children.

“Stop breathing CO2 and put down your toy guns. And shut up. You are so, so bad. I know, we got you into this hunger for and acceptance for gratuitous violence with our war programming, violent media, splatter genre video gaming and putting you on psychotropic drugs while dumbing you down with fake education and hypnotic television programming, but who’s looking? Besides, who ya gonna tell? We own the media. Now shut up and take your meds and feel sorry, so very very sorry for these poor children, and think how bad people are becoming. We really do need to do something about this, don’t we?”

Fuck ‘em. Now you see why we need to wake the hell up? Beware the stupor. Their shitstorm is in full force and people are getting infected by it.

Creeping Paralysis and Self Censorship

I know a lot of people get this so I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to those who don’t see the creeping paralysis that can get you before you realize what hit you. And this incident and the heavy duty lying propaganda that is permeating every level of society is a perfect example.

That cop gets up and threatens people saying anything contrary on social media with Federal and State action is intolerable! Completely over the top! Yet the reaction? NSA-Google immediately shuts someone down who barely said a thing contrary. Fear, anyone? Don’t let it get you. Stand strong. (Of course not a word about all the brand new facebook accounts opened at the time of the shooting who were immediately screaming for gun control. Nothing fishy there..)

These are all psy-op techniques to get the population on the defensive, pliable and under stricter control. Their agenda for decades, centuries and millennia. Only today they have technologies never heard of before. Any they’re feeling their oats.

Even more disturbing is the self-censorship coming on. Sports stores and other outlets are stopping sales of certain weapons without there even being a ban on them…yet. Can you imagine? Unfortunately, yes. The media is taking gun scenes and shows off the air…selected of course to help send Big Brother’s message.

I mean this is one hell of a bad symptom.

Know why? It’s fear of the State. Retribution. It’s been there all along, but now they don’t even need to pass their contrived and manipulated targeted legislation.  Of course it’s usually the Big Corp stores who are complicit in all this that lead the way, but just watch the dominoes fall.

But just bark, and they’ll sit, or roll over.

Better yet,  just “lean forward”.

Welcome to Gulag America. Enjoy the holidays as the State dictates your mood and what you’ll be allowed to even feel. Yes, it’s that bad.

Screw ‘em. We Are Free and Clear

This type of reaction can pass in intensity but the mindset is important. It’s good for the soul to see this absolute lying bullshit for what it really is and what it’s doing and meant to do. It’s like this goo they throw at you and you have to keep peeling the stinky crap off before the smell puts you to sleep. It’s nasty.

Hope this helped clear the air a bit for someone besides me. But this is the tack we need to take in answering these events in order to expose them.

Concentrate on what matters most, staying free and clear. Just that sometimes righteous indignation blows the mind fog and sentimental crap out of the tubes. All part of staying clear. Just see all this for what it is.

Stay in love and enjoy the wonderful vibes hitting us now, in spite of all they’re doing to screw it up.

They can’t stop the shift.

Love, Zen

Facebook Suspends Account For Questioning Official Narrative on Shooting

Despite the fact that the mainstream media got key facts wrong in early reporting

by Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
December 18, 2012

Facebook is suspending user accounts that question the official narrative behind the Sandy Hook school massacre, following a warning by Connecticut State Police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance that “misinformation” posted on social media sites could result in prosecution.

An image posted in the aftermath of the shootings that questioned whether “a clumsy 20-year-old autistic kid” could have pulled off the murders of 26 people was deleted and the user’s account hit with a three day suspension.

“I was informed the reason for this punishment was the result of a meme I had shared,” writes the editor of SecretsOfTheFed.com. “Facebook told me it “…violates Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities”. I was further warned that “If you continue to abuse Facebook’s features, your account could be permanently disabled.”

On Saturday, Connecticut state police warned that people posting “misinformation” on social media websites would be “investigated and prosecuted.”

However, this threat could apply to the vast majority of the mainstream media, who in their haste to get out ahead of the story reported numerous details that soon turned out to be completely incorrect.

– It was initially reported that Adam Lanza’s mother, the first victim of the rampage, was a teacher at the school, which was not true.

– It was initially reported that Lanza had also killed his father, which was not true.

– It was initially reported that the culprit behind the massacre was Ryan Lanza, Adam Lanza’s brother, which was not true.

– Initial reports that a “second gunman” arrested in the woods behind the school was involved in the massacre were later dropped without explanation.

Given that most of the “misinformation” about the shooting came from corporate media sources, the fact that Facebook is punishing users for asking questions about the proper sequence of events – essentially labeling such activity a thought crime – is a worrying development.

As we have previously highlighted, Facebook occasionally deletes images and posts that it claims violate “Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities,” yet constitute little more than political conjecture or a healthy skepticism of official narratives on current events.

In September 2011, Infowars reporter Darrin McBreen was told by Facebook staff not to voice his political opinion on the social networking website.

Responding to comments McBreen had made about off-grid preppers being treated as criminals, the “Facebook Team” wrote, “Be careful making about making political statements on facebook,” adding, “Facebook is about building relationships not a platform for your political viewpoint. Don’t antagonize your base. Be careful and congnizat (sic) of what you are preaching.”

Biggest Social Media Sites Censor Alternative News

“Unreliable News Sources”

The mainstream media skews the news to defend the status quo, and serves the interests of the rich and powerful.

But at least web news sources are free of censorship … one would hope.

Unfortunately, that’s not true.

Facebook pays low-wage foreign workers to delete certain content based upon a censorship list. For example, Facebook deletes accounts created by any Palestinian resistance groups.

censorship on Social Networking Biggest Social Media Sites Censor Alternative News

Digg was caught censoring stories which were controversial or too critical of the government. See this and this.

Many accuse Youtube of blatant censorship.

Reddit – the 133rd most popular website worldwide on the Internet – is also censoring.

I’m not talking about censoring specific websites (For example, I was informed today that Reddit’s News category censors all stories from this website.  But that’s just an example).  I’m talking about censoring entire categories of news media.

Specifically, Reddit’s WorldNews category has 2.5 million subscribers.  Most tv news shows have less than 2.5 million daily viewers. So that means that Reddit’s WorldNews is itself a mainstream media source in terms of numbers.  And many more people see WorldNews stories on the front page of Reddit, even if they are not subscribers to the WorldNews subreddit.

(Reddit is owned by the 46th largest company in the United States – Advance Publications – which owns a number of mainstream newspapers and magazines.)

Yet WorldNews censors blogs, and doesn’t consider them real news sources.  Here’s a discussion I had recently with WorldNews moderators:

Clipboard02 Biggest Social Media Sites Censor Alternative News

In fact, the top independent experts in every field – economics, business, foreign affairs, military, science, energy, etc. – have their own blogs, making blogs one of the best sources of information, a good way to fact-check the mainstream news, and the best way to read the experts’ insights direct and unfiltered.  See this, this and this.

Indeed, the whole reason that news blogs have become popular is that they get around the censorship which is ubiquitous in the mainstream television news. And social media is popular as a news source – especially among youth – because it pretends that it provides uncensored news, where a free market of popularity governs.

That’s obviously not the case, where specific websites – and entire classes of media, such as blogs – are barred.

Reddit holds itself out as a young, hip, progressive news source.  But if it is censoring blogs, it fails to live up to any of these claims.

The government already censors and manipulates social media. More proof here and here.

It is sad that the moderators of the social media sites themselves are doing the same thing.

Connecticut: What Happened to Second Suspect? [video]

The Truther Girls
December 15, 2012

Original reports said that a second suspect was being held in custody. They also mentioned a maroon van and a man in camo being pulled from the woods denying he had anything to do with the shooting. Reports about a second suspect are now disappearing or being revised to omit mention of this. What is going on? Is there more to this than just some kid going postal? Was this a black op and is there a coverup underway? I think these are fair questions to ask.
