Youtube's apparent censorship

Submitted by Thaumlord-Exelbirth on Mon, 09/05/2016 - 12:11am

Recently, there's been a torrent of videos on Youtube of people talking about, and heavily criticizing, Google's decision to demonitize (take away advertisement based funding) any and all videos that are, to name a few categories, "controversial, include swearing, show violence, contain partial nudity," among others. The immediate reaction was that people believed Google was engaging in censorship of some form.

Drip, drip, drip, drip: Hillary's incontinence--make that a double!

Submitted by Alligator Ed on Sun, 09/04/2016 - 9:39pm

Like emails, Medusa's physical woes are a gift (/s) that keeps on giving--in this case involuntarily. What is double incontinence you ask? Okay maybe you didn't ask, but I will enlighten you anyway. Double incontinence, when applied to bodily functions, means the lack of control of urine and bowel--it's a twofer.

First, some pictorial evidence suggesting the existence of this malady--which I admit is speculative.

Bernie told USA Today OR would be a 501c4

Bernie told USA Today that OR was a 501c4

Weeks before Jeff Weaver was brought on to OR.

Dated July 15th:

Sanders said Democrats’ loss of about 900 state legislative seats in nearly eight years tells him a strong grass-roots movement is needed to get people to run for office and to show them how — from getting on the ballot to running TV ads. Our Revolution, a 501(c)(4) political organization, will work with several progressive groups to train and vet candidates.

Anti-Capitalist Meetup: 3 suggestions for the great labor of love, articulating a viable socialism

Years before the nearly successful Bernie Sanders run for the presidency, one did not need too keen eyesight to see the need and opportunity. There was nothing new about the need and opportunity. The need and opportunity existed a century ago every bit as much as it exists today.

What Sanders did that could be called innovative was made possible because he consciously tried to learn from the political failures of his hero, Eugene V. Debs. If you haven’t already watched Sanders’ Debs film, please do so at some point during this election cycle. I think that having done so assumptions by some on the left about Sanders’ political naivete or cravenness may lessen.

Heather Samuelson - A New Name In The Clinton Email Scandal

Submitted by MsGrin on Sun, 09/04/2016 - 4:59pm

Some of you have noted and engaged with me in speculation about who, exactly, has been involved in deleting those 30K or so 'personal' emails. It turns out that Cheryl Mills played a BIG role in this. Hat Tip to Caerus for this link which describes some of Mills' role and names Samuelson.

Stein--Why the Essays? And Other Stuff

Submitted by apenultimate on Sun, 09/04/2016 - 3:36pm

Some of you may be wondering why I've started making these nearly daily essays on what's been happening with Jill Stein's run for president.

The basic reason is simple. Besides Jill Stein's reddit and possibly facebook presence, there really is no way for people interested in Jill Stein to track her progress and what is going on with her campaign. Without that, people easily fall into the impression that not much is happening with the campaign, and they lose interest quickly.
