Nathaniel Heidenheimer Wrote:As OWellBombEm shows his inner Goldman, I have noticed a significant increase in censorship, especially on democratic sites that pretend to cater to left critics of the dems like Democratic Underground. They have really been shoveling poeple off into the train cars lately. Also today I got kicked off the Chronicle Of Higher Education. On the other hand the thread I started there, with some brilliant contributions by Paul, did get almost 13,OOO views. So they ended up censoring one of the few threads with over 3000 views. It was promoting JFK and the Unspeakable. The way I look at it, if you can do some good on a high volume site, you gotta use the opportunity.
Did they remove your posts - or just you? Yes, there is much control out there. Someone posted just a day or two ago a link to a Wiki page on the Political Octopus, and it had been taken down when I looked last night. The internet is a real threat to the PTB, and we have to learn how to fight back at their efforts to contain information and ideas they'd rather not see offered-up for consideration. Certainly that EXCELLENT book - JFK And The Unspeakable - would be on the 'unapproved ideas' list. Not 'Higher Education' related LOL! I was kicked-off one forum for refusing to name a sensitive source I'd alluded to [that had independant and redundant sources]. They have a bag-o-tricks to keep everything contained....(go back to American Gladiators and stop thinking)!
