are we surprised?- the steam roller of censorship continues on- who's next?

[norman]

Ah well, onwards we go.

Alex Jones is still on line at:

Real.video
https://www.real.video/channel/infowarsnews


Mixcloud
https://www.mixcloud.com/TheAlexJonesShow/



And, if you have a media player you can paste audio stream URLs into, this URL is the 24hr loop of the Alex Jones Show:

http://stream-aac.infowars.com/

or

http://stream-mp3.infowars.com/

or

http://www.infowars.com/infowars.asx


Also, there are 2 apps for smart phones. One has been around for years and works on old phones very well. It simply plays the radio show loop as soon as you boot it up.

There's a newer one that does a lot of fancy things I don't know about because I don't have a new enough device to run it.

I don't know who this guy is but he seems to have a decent grasp of the situation.

[PurpleLama]

I believe we are seeing active election interference in the coming midterms.

Thanks. Even though I find Alex irritating, its good to know you can't keep the old dog down!

Thank you for that - will watch this video fully at a later date. Mike Adams has been a target too, so lets hope his new venture endures....

I can`t find the article but I believe this is the video that Mike Adams is referring to (as if it is AJ in the video):

YouTube and Facebook aren't the only ones with the power to ban.

We have the power!

I've already banned Facebook from my life.

Even though it's an incredibly stable platform, YouTube will be next as the disinformation rises above the truth. Actually, I rarely use YouTube other than to view videos posted on Avalon.

Cheers Avalonians

Statement from FB:

So what happened with InfoWars? They were up on Friday and now they are down?

As a result of reports we received, last week, we removed four videos on four Facebook Pages for violating our hate speech and bullying policies. These pages were the Alex Jones Channel Page, the Alex Jones Page, the InfoWars Page and the Infowars Nightly News Page. In addition, one of the admins of these Pages – Alex Jones – was placed in a 30-day block for his role in posting violating content to these Pages.

Since then, more content from the same Pages has been reported to us — upon review, we have taken it down for glorifying violence, which violates our graphic violence policy, and using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants, which violates our hate speech policies.

All four Pages have been unpublished for repeated violations of Community Standards and accumulating too many strikes. While much of the discussion around Infowars has been related to false news, which is a serious issue that we are working to address by demoting links marked wrong by fact checkers and suggesting additional content, none of the violations that spurred today’s removals were related to this.

I haven't checked the timeline for sure, but I remember hearing that Zuckerberg said he would not ban hate speech on Facebook. Then the next day his stock was cut almost in half, the excuse being a poor earnings report. Now Zuckerberg's saying he will indeed ban hate speech (what they consider Jones to be). When you're that rich you're not hard to control.

[TargeT]

First they addict you to social media



Then they control you with it..... Keep justifying your use of these companies... I'm sure it's "nothing" right???

Your power is in BOYCOTT, QUIT using services that are morally diametrically opposed to your core beliefs.


Your attention (use, energy, what have you...) empowers them.. STOP IT!

Hello Everyone:

This is more than banning Alex Jones and any other celebrity! Facebook bans people all the time by the 1,000's or 10,000's or millions!
Anything they don't like is banned. Even if you are following their rules since it's their website.
The problem is as I have stated before is that if you cannot contact facebook why would you want to be on their website?

It's pretty much impossible to contact them and other large websites if you need clarity in "their rules" or if you get kicked off their website(s) for any reason they choose.

The best thing anyone can do is show that they hate thugs and quit facebook and anyother website that has taken a person's right away to speak truth even though they believe it isn't truth.

Free Speech has been taken over by political correctness! political correctness has polluted the very fabric of our identity as humans with FREE SPEECH and love for one another along with treating each other with respect.

political correctness has taken away our say and now it's taking away everthing else we hold dear including contact with the very people who appear to control the masses.

Shame on facebook and everyother platform people use to contact each other.

Ya'll know what to do and that's delete these morons who control what we do and who we talk to. Listen to and give us another slant on everything.

Push the delete button on organizations like facebook who are squeezing the truth out of everyones lives and taking your information and claiming it's theirs.

Paul Joseph Watson also posted this article on Infowars about this banning: The Real Reason Apple, Facebook, Spotify & YouTube Banned Infowars - This is what election meddling looks like.

His article begins with this statement from Alex Jones:

Statement from Alex Jones: The EU is already fining Google and others if they don’t start censoring speech by calling it “hate speech” and/or “fake news.”

When our government doesn’t start fining them for violations of free speech, racketeering and trust/monopolistic behavior, that encourages other governments like China and the EU have influence over the free market of ideas.

But this situation also highlights the trust set up by mutli-national combines based in China and in Europe that’s stealing all of our rights and freedoms through a concerted effort.

Over two-and-a-half years ago, Matt Drudge came to our studio and warned of this attack on the First Amendment. That’s why they want alternative and independent media shut down.

They would’ve done all of this last year had Hillary gotten into the White House. Yet, due to Trump instead getting elected, this plan has been held off for about a year-and-a-half.

Now, it seems, they don’t fear Trump for whatever reason, and now they’re making their move.

But I don’t think President Trump has been compromised, but he’s compromising himself one way or another if his administration doesn’t make this the central issue.

Free speech is the central issue; this is the heart of the matter. This is the core. This is it.

Then Paul Joseph Watson's own words begin with:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apple, Spotify, Facebook and YouTube all banned Infowars within 12 hours of each other, illustrating how last night’s purge was a coordinated effort and has nothing to do with these platforms enforcing “hate speech” rules.

Here are the real reasons Infowars is being purged by Big Tech;

– Infowars is widely credited with having played a key role in electing Donald Trump. By banning Infowars, big tech is engaging in election meddling just three months before crucial mid-terms.

– With the Infowars ban, Apple, Facebook , Spotify & YouTube (Google) have all now ascribed themselves the power to remove people & outlets from their platforms based on their political opinions. This power will be abused time and time again to meddle in elections.

– The ban also sets the precedent that the mere charge alone of having committed “hate speech,” with no specific examples even provided, is enough to memory hole an individual or group’s digital presence.

– The ban is just part of a wider censorship purge that also use stealth censorship, shadow banning and algorithmic manipulation to hide and bury conservative content.

– Apple also chose to shut down Infowars after we repeatedly criticized them for working with and selling data to the Communist Chinese government. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paul Joseph Watson concludes with this commendation:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It will only intensify unless lawmakers act now to introduce a Digital Bill of Rights and treat social media giants as telecommunications companies who are forbidden by law from discriminating against people and media outlets based on their political opinions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is similar to the recommendation that Mike Adams make, as I will describe in my next post below.

[Rachel]

First they throttle Assange and WikiLeaks, now Alex Jones and InfoWars.

They can’t ban this: THE ALEX JONES SHOW

You’re right, TargeT, **** just got real, time to adopt alternative platforms ASAP.

Edit: @Paul We posted at the same time, all good if you want to move this post to follow your second post.

[Paul]

In this video, Mike Adams comments on the banning of Alex Jones: Mike Adams official statement on the #censorship of @RealAlexJones.

Mike recommends laws, or what he figures is more likely possible, regulations by the US government that ban such discrimination by media groups based on political beliefs, and Mike calls out for the US government to arrest the CEO's of Apple, Facebook, Spotify & YouTube on RICO (racketeering) charges.

That's not what I hope happens, as I will describe in my next post, of Brandon Smith's comments.

[Paul]

A couple of days ago now, Rory Hall of the Daily Coin posted an interview he made of Brandon Smith. In my view, Brandon is one of the sharpest knives in the drawer at present.

The interview is in two parts, both available at: Brandon Smith: Censorship, Economic Collapse and Breaking Free

This interview was recorded about a week ago now, well before this latest banning of Alex Jones and Infowars from Apple, Facebook, Spotify and Youtube happened.

But Brandon is already well tuned into the danger of such bannings:

The danger is that conservatives will support government arrests, prosecutions, laws or regulations to stop media censorship of conservative views.

No, I say, with Brandon:

Do NOT give the government yet more power over public discourse.

It will end up being used against us, the people, with near certainty.

Some things that would help, "bigly" (so I'll grant, seem unlikely):

• The government stop supporting, colluding with, funding, and creating "compliant" media, such as the half billion dollar CIA contract with Amazon, whose CEO Bezos owns the dominant Washington DC paper, the Washington Post, and the deep state support of Google, from its beginning.
• Unravel the massive accumulation of legal power granted to corporations - they live forever, cannot be jailed, cannot be executed, and can donate unlimited amounts to political campaigns. Go back to limited partnerships, which would make the actual people behind them liable for criminal prosecution.
• Build up more robust conservative alternatives to such social media, search and cloud sites as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Spotify and Youtube.

In short, I ask myself, each time I see a proposal (such as those of Paul Joseph Watson and Mike Adams, in my previous two posts above) to "fix" internet censorship, I ask myself: Would I want that same "remedy" applied to Project Avalon?
