For What Its Worth II (with no apologies)
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a censor hangin'out over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Censorship's what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if no one can talk
If we all must fear that someone will squawk
And so-called liberals won't walk the walk
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
The Censor's here and he's snooping 'round
It's a field day for the damned thought police
Silencing our voices as they please
No singing songs or carrying signs
Unless, you know, you're on the right side
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Look who's shutting free speech down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man takes your platform away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Censorship is going down.
You better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Look who's shutting free speech down

Thanks for the ear worm.
What scares me worse are all the folks who don't notice it.
That's when you feel truly alone.

That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
Censorship's what's going down
It is a bit of a problem for freedom of expression.
A peculiar twisted-up mind mess.
I think there is some wisdom to be gleaned from this.

Her Heiness originally opened the gates
as the sheeple were herded through in lockstep. We all saw this happening in real time at DKos. It's ironic to see this expose at the Epoch Times - a 'fake news' propagator in it's own right.
Thanks, CB. HER certainly had a lot to do
with this latest round, but this shit has been happening to some degree for a long time. McCarthy comes to mind as does the prosecution of Eugene V. Debs.
Thanks for the article.

for what it's worth...
Right on EL!
I always loved the piano version Stills did on Four Way Street, called America's Children. It starts at 2:25 or so ... a great take on the tune with some cool rapping on it...
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

That's definitely the 'Real'
"Jesus Christ was the first non-violent revolutionary...."
And then the thread broke and all that energy and truth was squandered. Happens again and again. The almost utopia is suffocated. There is no effort to form a more perfect union in the United States. That's been dead for a long time. There are only efforts in certain foreign nations to nationalize their wealth and resources. Those are the nations the US is determined to destroy. Seems to me that all our troubles just trickle down from that. The US corporate state is the Antichrist. We are the citizens of the Antichrist. Trapped inside a hypocrisy that most cannot grasp.

Hola Pluto. "Citizen(s) of the AntiChrist has a
nice ring to it, good T-shirt, poster or bumper sticker.

Or, perhaps, a passport.
I'm just channeling. The design is taking shape the global subconscious.

My husband and I listened to a great Neil Young album
last night, marveled at his revolutionary music.
And then, this...

Unsettling to say the least. Thanks for reading.

How are you being censored, do you know the technical aspects?
Is it network censorship? Threats, intimidation?
I know that many Democrats are under pressure from pretenders at the top who in reality are just cyber-squatting on the party's name. They are fake Democrats who are not even fans of democracy.
The DNC considers itself entitled to rig its own primary elections. It claims it can do whatever it wants.
The DNC is not relevant, sad to say. It's the
platforms and, to a lesser extent, the algorithms. If you can only speak where no one is ever listening, that is effective censorship, as are search engines that never include you in their results.

Eric Schmidt hardly represents Google's employees.
Nor is he popular among them. (last I heard) They live in fear of their top management that was so rabidly pro HRC.
Google is a TISA party, that means they are trying to nullify real democracy everywhere and steal the future of the world for corporations. With a global Contract On Democracy.
Enslaving the entire planet.

Don't ever use GMAIL. They censor truth. And data mine their email for information on people. Read its EULA.

They couldn't risk listening even a tiny bit.
Because people have invested here in businesses.
That makes it so things cannot be democratic. They get an entitlement that supersedes everything else with only the most intentionally brain dead exception imaginable. That exception has self cancelling language that makes it so it cannot work.
Its so lame and ridiculous its been written in the academic literature about for being so insanely lame. But its real. Look it up! Read it yourself.
Economist Dani Rodrik is one of the world's more articulate critics of the (trade treaties that nullify democracy) things.
