Project Avalon: 'Banned Content'

[Matt P]

I spent this past weekend at the Hampton Inn in Nashville for a soccer tournament. Early this morning I slipped down to the "business center" to look up tournament standings and check in on Project Avalon and was shocked to find this site was banned content. Hotel computers refused to let me come here. Out of curiosity I went to InfoWars...no problem. Drudge Report...no problem. Veterans Today...they allowed it but a message popped up that it was questionable content and did I want to stay on the page. I didn't have time to check other sites, sorry. Pretty creepy though. Is that how it works? The more truth you expose, the more the filters ban you? Good way to gauge the best sites?
Anyway...Whew!...glad to be back, though. I was going through DT's. ;)

Maybe it's just a filter that blocks message boards. Next time try a couple of other message board websites.

We have a filter at my work that blocks some web sites, and this forum is one of the sites blocked.

The blocker puts up a "why" message, it's been a while but I want to say it says it's blocked because it's suspected of being a malicious site?

The blocker also blocks any web site that is about guns/weapons.

Boy it sure would be fun to see how Project Camelot, Rense, Silver Doctors and some others would fare. Surprised about Infowars. Some think Alex Jones is controlled opposition but lately he has been coming up with some pretty incendiary stuff.

[Lifebringer]

Yep, I've run into a few from here and clicked the youtube to watch and it's like a communication block. The powers that were, don't want anything here, or out there.(they own hotel chains) So we're on a watch...probably the vaccine articles and a couple dying doctor from natural news got them shaking. Oh well, I guess we're good at telling it like it is.

[WhiteLove]

I agree it's creepy! I was not aware this site is being blocked in the U.S., that's new stuff to me. I have not heard anyone having issues connecting to PA from Sweden...

[Carmody]

What it really comes down to is they don't like sensible people making sensible arguments and sensible discussion of difficult subjects... concerning things like:

Fascism, depopulation, covert wars, corporatism, aliens (reptilians, etc), dimensions, black ops projects, over unity sciences, psychic sensitivity, transhumanism, alternative history, alternative medicine, and so on.

All of these subjects, discussed reasonably, and openly ......is a very serious threat.

Systems of emotion, jolting negativism, morbid humour, infighting, viciousness, and so on, are required aspects to hold people blind and in a bind.

The trick is that ... to win a debate, is to never bring emotionalism to the table. When painted with emotions... when that happens... people walk away from your argument or discussion, as the subject is excruciatingly difficult to deal with in the first place. Loading it with emotion, causes people to walk away and shut off very quickly.

Emotions are used, all those 'negatives' are used... to HOLD people in a given emotional state with regard to their pattern of thinking, their mode of thinking. Rush Limbaugh, Fox news, etc.

We're talking about refreshing people's wiring in it's ways and channels, like..er..praying 5 times a day, for example, or confession, or an episode of Bill O'Reilly. And so on. No different, in the final analysis, than going outside to have a smoke. Those things may seem very different but the fundamental of the given shape and hook is of a similarity and depth that cannot be ignored.

An orgasm is as good as a smoke is as good as a toke is as good as a joke, as good as a comfort food -- oh god that's my favorite song, would you pass the sugar please?

Thus emotion ridden sites are allowed to be seen as they don't really bring any truth or any desire to think, to a given group of people.

It's not discussion, it's reasonable open discussion.... ~that~... is the most dangerous rolling happenstance...for the given controlling structure.

And that, in a nutshell, is Project Avalon.

Google allows some research results to show, but blocks others. When I am searching for an old thread, some show, but important ones like 9/11 nuke of twin towers blocked but 9/11 Cheney pops up without that thread.

There must be a council of allowed material, like older than dust librarians who decide witch books get burned running the internet search engines...

On a cruise, taking off to Avalon, back in range Thursday...

Wow mpennery, Interesting...thanks for sharing that.

on the one hand it saddens me, but on the other hand I'm quite proud! It indicates we're flirting with some real truths here. Honestly, I get depressed sometimes and question whether the stuff we write about here is important or not. Maybe it is.

[seehas]

Ive worked for several companys in the IT and i was able to add or remove URLs from the blockinglist of the proxy appliance, in this case i think like someone mentioned before its the forum that is blocked not the content or the name itself.

Carmody’s post is a wonderful summary of what Project Avalon is all about and why it is a no-go area for some. But there is one subject missing from his list.

If you go to alexa.com (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/projectavalon.net), you will find that the site was up in around 40,000th position in the global rankings. When you take into account government agencies, mainstream media, large corporations and institutions etc. in the top rankings, that is one highly influential little message board we are talking about. During (on account of?) the Corey Goode incident, the ranking dropped to around 90,000. However, since July, a 19,000 improvement brings the current figure up to 73,288 and rising.

However, the top keywords section on this page offers a further insight in addition to Carmody’s list. After the expected keywords Avalon forum, Bill Ryan etc. you find on a quasi-permanent basis, one Michael Lavaughn Robinson. If you don’t recognize the name, quoting Carmody, “the given controlling structure” for which “reasonable open discussion is the most dangerous rolling happenstance” is a certain government agency located on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC. While it is true that many forum members find that particular subject highly distasteful, nonetheless it is a major source of new visitors, who are subsequently exposed to similar reasonable open discussion on all those other topics. And of course, such big picture cross-fertilization whereby people come for instance for free energy and read our discussions about 911, or come for 911 and read about spirituality, is the major headache for any controlling structure.

Hotel computers refused to let me come here.



Thanks (wow) — it'd be interesting to know a little more. Could you possibly (very politely) contact the hotel management and ask them why? Who made that decision, and who else is on their 'banned' list? That might be very useful for us to know. Also, a screenshot (or a photo!) of the message would be interesting to see.

I'm back home so it's too late for a screenshot or photo of the message I got. When I typed in the PA address the screen went blank and a white rectangular box popped up in the middle saying it was "banned content" and to contact (I forget the name but it was a short company name starting with an A, not the hotel, and no website or phone number was included to do so) if I wanted to inquire as to why. I should have done more or written it down but it was really early and I wasn't thinking clearly. I will contact the hotel (specifically the Hampton Inn, Brentwood) and ask if they can give more details.

When I went to Veterans Today, the home page came up but it was darkened while the same white box popped up saying it was "questionable content" and did I wish to remain on the page. When I clicked "yes" the box went away and the site brightened to it's full level.

In the last year or so I happened to check forum Avalon on the different public places such as libraries, internet cafes, community centers etc, and this type of message appeared almost half of the times. It might do with some selected list of level of content of some website that Avalon is included in. I thought this might be known to Bill and did not inquire more about it, but will do the next time.

Whenever I go to some other place and search Project avalon it seems for some time as if the internet is not working. Sometimes somewhere I also got messages saying that the content is banned. But after repetitively searching for project Avalon, eventually everything seems to work fine after some time.

Also if I search anythings related to alternative media, google gives me pages form project avalon forum. But when I go elsewhere far distant place from were I was usually working, and search those things completely different search results were generated by google. It would be very interesting if I had taken screen shots of both searches and shown here, it happened many times. It just a usual thing for me now..

Yes, true and actively running, working........low level INTERFERENCE.

To stop and slow connections, to interfere in packets, and so on. Working but not working. To make is SEEM to the casual user that Avalon is a SLOW board. to choke it's flow at the internet pipleine input for the Avalon PROVIDER, at their physical location, with regard to pipe protrusion into the internet stream. To mess with packet prioritization, ever so slightly.

Like a noise or screeching in the background that is noted as subliminally as possible, as an annoyance, like an itchiness that is not obvious, that causes people to subliminally "not go to Avalon, as it is slow".

That is the game they play. Oh yes, most definitely.

Hi,

It is my understanding that public networks are a safe-heaven and honey-pot for hackers and generally for people who want to impersonate other people or other websites, because intercepting the traffic is much easier than in other networks.

If that is true, then is possible that the PA website was simply randomly intercepted without necessarily being on a list.

Bill asked this question: "Who made that decision, and who else is on their 'banned' list?". That information could indeed tell us more if this is targeted at specific sites or is a general fishing attempt. I would not be too surprised if the hotel staff would genuinely have no idea that this is going on.

For those more technically inclined, if you can, try to load the page a few times. Restart the browser and try again. Restart the computer/device and try again. If you can, disconnect and reconnect to the network and try again. Try to access from different floors, the lobby, the restaurant. The results of this test may prove to be interesting (and it may draw some attention to you if someone is indeed monitoring the access on this site :P)

would you like me to go to a local hampton inn to check if I can go into the forum?

[DeDukshyn]

I will say, it's pretty easy to get "blacklisted" on lists that run both software and hardware firewalls. all it takes is one instance of a bad PDF, a link to a site that became malicious, etc. Although I'd be curious to see if anyone hcan find any reasons "why" from any authority on what sites are deemed "malicious".

Workplaces often have hardware firewalls that come with preset screening algorithms, checks black lists etc, that determine whether a site should be deemed banned or not. There are many sites I cannot access at work, and my IT guy has banned whole countries in a broad sweep, to ensure to catch a few of the baddies. Granted I am not an expert in this area. Keep in mind that at a hotel, a firewall that is set up may be the same one that keeps the employees from looking at porn etc, wasting time on forums, etc. The public access at my work is pretty tight.

Try it. Seems to be consistent accross platforms and different computers for me.. So when on google i found this odd thing' Considering that the only other thing on the tinternet called the Avalon forum, is the car forum of the same name, I've always found it very unusual that google never gives me that specific choice or option until I type the u in forum, or just one letter away from me writing it all out, lol... I always wondered on that one... Strange don't you think?... N

[idiit]

I don't have pa bookmarked yet. I just type p into the google box and google suggestions come up. projectavalon is used by me so much that pa comes up every time until yesterday. now I have to type in the full "project Avalon" for me to get the links as suggestions.
