Mothafacko, I represent The Hatchet, give me the eyeball mothafacko I’ma snatch it throw it in the garbagecan down the hall, kick you in the ass while you search and crawl for it bitch…Keep treading on me, I’m in overdrive. No conversation is going on with me unless it’s about this. Folks, you need to do the same. Have the printouts ready and on you. Be ready to back it up. Just running your gob isn’t going to do anything. Damn it, spend the money on the printer ink and the paper. Spread that word! Bulletin boards at your apartment, your job, over urinals, wherever you can find. GET TO WORK!

If you are reading this you need to take at least one video from YouTube and use keepvid.com to convert it and save it to your computer and upload it to a site like imeem.com, dailymotion.com, metacafe.com, ifilm.com, etc so that if Youtube is censored we have a collection someplace else. It also helps wake people up.

if censorship ever gets to bad, it should not be to difficult to write a software that would create an underground internet using everybodies wireless routers.

Lets put on our thinking caps NOW!
Take these articles and SPREAD THEM TO THE WHOLE WORLD!
The mirror is the place to find out where the change starts,look into it!
An informed citizen is the worst enemy of the Odors that be!

Just FOCUS!

Keep up with the comments here and you might notice when Alex Jones or his staff censor mine.
At least two of my comments have been deleted so far. One article was even renamed after I mentioned that “accustomize” is not a word. Coincidence or doublespeak? I’ll give Jones the benefit of the doubt, but I’m not particularly impressed with the freedom of speech allowed here on Infowars.
To drive home an important point, research depleted uranium and find out which is worse: Being six inches away from a metric ton of it or ingesting a gram or two. How can people be so uproarious about DU being buried when they don’t even understand the potential and actual effects of it?

Hey #4 Connick go shove it, you’re a liar and a troll trying to prevent any discussion of the article printed above. Go back under the bridge (or your Mom’s basement more likely) and stay there. This assumes you know your real Mom, which is highly unlikely. The above article concerned links about the internet, not DU. Therefore I say again: bridge, you, go, stay there, The End.

Hay #4 connick you fukin’ fag…….you gotta hit the “submit content” button after spilling your little pea brain in the “reply” box. More than likely your sensoring your moron self!

EVEN IF THE INTERNET IS CENSORED, YOU’VE HELPED US TO BE CRITICAL THINKERS, AND TO PULL BACK THE CURTAIN.
GOD BLESS YOU ALEX, GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY BRO.

The fact that I hit the sumbit button is evidenced by replies directed towards me. Both of my comments were greeted by the same attitude that you are expressing right now.
To Quiet You, I don’t particularly appreciate being called a liar. It’s quite true that a couple of my posts have been “moderated” and deleted. Your belief isn’t required for that to be the case.
To Albert, how can you call me a moron when what I said was true and you apparently couldn’t even spell the word “censor” correctly when it’s right in front of you.
My comment about my DU comment being censored is entirely relevant because it has been censored by Infowars.com.
I’m not trolling, I’m trying to engage you people here, but I have recieved nothing but rabid frothing replies including such insults as, “condick”, “fukin’ fag”, “pea brain”, “moron” and soforth.
If you’ve ever been on a commercial jet you’ve been sitting pretty close to thousands of pounds of DU. That’s no lie.

Censorship? Alex Jones’ websites and forums are more heavily censored than any on the net. Free Speech? Only if it is exactly what AJ and company say. Someone should knock that fat fucker in the mouth. Punk!
August 4th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Alex … something keeps shutting your links … it says video no longer available but then I find it at youtube
August 4th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
You know that when the remove something theres a reason and we know the only reason they have to remove stuff is becausse they think ( and may be rigth ) that manipulating the world they will shape it as they want , and we cant let this happen!!!
August 4th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
My web site as also been pulled from google! newworldordermagazine.com and all it is, is a video scirpt pulling videos from youtube! But of course it is all about the New World Order. I had over 80 pages indexed in google, but in the past few weeks google as completely removed all refference to the site from google search and index.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Sorry that web site is nwomagazine.com not newworldordermagazine
in my haste to post this and comment it gave the wrong url.
BTW if anyone wishes to know how many pages google has indexed of a site
simply goto google and in the search type in site:www.nameofsite.com or site:nameofsite.com
this will produce a list of all the pages googles bots have crawled and indexed. you can make screen captures of these results and keep weekly watch and see if they drop pages or remove the site all together, as they have done to me!
August 4th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
There has to be a way around the censorship. The company I worked for blocked sites and we were able to get around it using Proxy Servers.
Alex should have a contest for the best video demonstrating how to get around the censorship.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
connick #11. I’ve had quite a few posts that didn’t get posted after I hit submit. So many, as a matter of fact, that I pasted the links to the page, and copied and pasted them. Figuring it was just heavy traffic and didn’t post right away, I’d go back to the link I saved within the next few days to see if it eventually posted. Eventually, the majority did finally get posted, but some didn’t.
Actually, “censorship” didn’t even occur to me. Since everything we write and post is being “watched” by the tyrannical regime, I just figured that’s where it “disappeared” to.
I don’t know, I’m not really computer savvy, so don’t know if that would be possible, but i really don’t think anything is censored on this website by Alex Jones or anyone else, unless it’s a direct threat.
August 4th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
No, Alex Jones and his patriots for profit censor many posts. I have many posts censored that criticized Alex ans some of his advertisers.
I have one post that was censored that dealt with how to deal with riot police without a firearm/gun and using only improvised weapons you find in hardware stores and such.
Alex Jones is a damn hypocrite.
August 4th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
the time is close they are shuting everyone up 7 videos posted on here are no longer available its time to watch our backs and fronts ,keep clear and watch where u stand . The free will b the only ones standing in the end power will eat its self in to its own arsehole .shit on your shoe it will b easy 2 remove.

If someone wants to censor their own site, I’d say that’s logical.
I just don’t want the gov butting into my life. End of story.
But it looks like it’s come to that, and we all knew it would. I only wondered how long it would take before they came for the Net.
August 4th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Not gonna happen alex’s over hyping over stuff thats not gonna happen the internet does not run like this is impossable the amount of lag and traffic would be unmanagable and you would not only have that problem. But also hackers screwing ove rpeople charging em 5000$ to visit a site. but thats besides the point.
this is impossable the china ban any hacker can get around in 5 clicks of the mouse its a joke.
August 4th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Well if alex jones wasnt clear enough this is pretty conclusive, that there is a movement within the elite to shut down the internet
August 4th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
#15— I googled new world order just yesterday and got millions (literally)of bits of info. Is it your personal site your talking about or what. If they kill the internet, people will come up with an alternative way of gathering and sharing info. What would Tesla do? I really don’t think they’ll kill it, they’ll change it, yeah, but it will still be here. Maybe only the rich will have it. Everyone that can already makes money on it. I guess do what I’m doing and pull things off it now just to have latter to show people whats happening.

Internet 2 is not really something we should not have to accept. We are already paying loads of money for our cable internet, DSL and dial up. The companies are already making enough money
already just to keep the websites up. The internet is not pay-per-view or cable television just because I have it on my cable lines. The internet is not Compu-serve back in 1988. Internet 2 is not World Wide Web. I have been using the the internet since mid 1997 and I am not going to deal with Limited Internet Access when I turn 34 years old and Not Stupid. Whats next for internet 2
long distance charges just for visiting a far away website? Oh, yes The internet is not a telephone
or a radio. Its a COmPUTER to access to networks already paid for. Internet 2 is just a plain monopoly scam. Internet 2 sounds like AOL.

We should get a few coders together and build a distributed network using open source tools to download / distribute and share the information / truth. If you have read Orwell’s 1984 you will know how important this information is to the resistance. Without facts or people having access to information questioning the motives of the gov and war party, we are lost. We need to ensure that we can easiy store and share the knowledge before the net is shut down / censored.
I have a model in the works that will enable us to download and mirror all the videos, articles and other information in offline format in a peer to peer network type model so that there are no central pointso failure. Anyone programmers interested in helping please email me info@nworesistance.com

I think that unless you send Alex a bunch of money to hire more people to keep the website running smoothly, you should not complain. Have you ever started a huge website? The problems are huge. Just when you get one thing fixed another breaks. Especially when you dont have the funds to hire many experienced people. Google has billions of dollars a year, and Alex might have, maybe, a hundred thousand a year. Probably not even that much. Give Alex a break, he is doing the best he can. Which is MORE MORE MORE than most of the complainers are doing. I have been shut down many times also. I almost hired an attorney in one case, but…$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Send lots of money, or be quiet, or dont come to this website. There are many here that take this seriously, and dont need the babies tears cause they need their baba.
Just being straight forward.

I posted for 4 months on HuffingtonPost. I was even getting subscribers from the site itself who wanted to be notified when I posted. HuffingtonPost even sent me notices about wanting me to help do reporting of my local elections.
Then I mentioned an example of a Bush crime, just as her site does hundreds of times a day, but my example was that I was unable to find any evidence of planes existing anywhere on 9-11. Not only was I immediately banned from the site, they went back and deleted every post I had ever written. That is the definition of censorship. It’s one thing to never allow you to do something….it’s another to allow it and then go back and censor it? It’s not censorship if I never allow you to do something. It’s called a law.
What did this “censorship” do? Well….it made me go back and look at the NO PLANE theory of 911 in a completely different light. And…..I am now positive without any doubt of any kind that there were NO PLANES on 9-11 at any location. None. I am 99% sure there is a God….I am 100% sure there were no planes at any of the 4 locations on 9-11. Watch “September Clues” on YouTube for an introduction.
What does NO PLANES mean? It means that the world was lied and conspired to on 9-11 by every major US media including abc, cbs,nbc, Fox, cnn which means that the media was complicit, culpable, criminal, and liable for ALL the events on 911 just like the entire Bush regime. At one point on the morning of 911 the entire world and every station on the planet was watching 911 from a feed provided only by Rupert Murdoch….on EVERY channel. (Can you say censorship?) And I wonder why even the mere suggestion that the “media” was involved on 911 would get you a lifetime ban? Hatred for a criminal media will last LONG after Bush leaves office….and that could be very bad for business.
There were NO PLANES on 9-11. Do your own research and look only at verifiable evidence.

re: #43 Bob
Very interesting post. I am 99.999999% sure that a plane did not hit the pentagon. I am not sure what the debris lying on the ground in Pennsylvania was. That leaves the two planes that allegedly hit the towers. Look, I seen the footage of the two “grey” planes (multiple angles) hit the towers on 9-11. What are you suggesting? That the media played some type of “pre-fabricated” footage of this event?
Please elaborate further

Time to get those “Stimulous” checks (unless you all spent them on crap!)
And send them to Alex Jones…so we can set up OUR OWN Domain….
Really if EVERYONE had used these stimulous checks from the Federal Reserve and had redirected them as “Infowar missles” so Alex could set up a TV show we would be making progress.How about the second lot of checks if they come….send them to Jones ,instead of wasting them…
All those “sniping” here needs to stop putting down each other with PETTY bullshit!
We are ALL sick of it,sick of the Bullshit,sick of the sheep being apathetic,sick of the lies ,sick of the propoganda that is being pedalled as fodder for the sheople,sick of being voices unheard ,sick of dealing with morons,sick of sellout Arseholes,sick of IT ALL!!!!and it is stressing and it is depressing..yes it is….
BUT WE HAVE TO BE KIND TO EACH OTHER AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER IN THE BIG FIGHT OF FREEDOM AND RETURNING OUR LIBERTY , THE CONSTITUTION AND GETTING RID OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE.
I HAVE DONE IT MYSELF………and I appoligise……THE TIME IS TO GROW UP AND JOIN TOGETHER!!!
PEOPLE ARE ALL AT DIFFERING LEVELS OF KNOWLEDGE AND AWAKENING!!
Set aside differences and support each other.
Here ,I will start…GO Ventura -expose the Traitors and spread the truth of 911,the federal reserve and the Global Agenda…and also all the “one eyed Ventura Supporters”please support and give your attention to all REAL people with Real jobs and lets grow the new paridgm of real work,real currancies and honest monerty policies.
Whatever YOUR style of waking people up..GO FOR IT..and those who do not like how others go about it….STOP the baby bickering and instead build everyone up.
Afterall when we DO get our Liberties back……Liberty means LIVE AND LET LIVE…..
Your “complaints ” of not liking how someone else lives …drinks …smokes…prays …or does not pray…. will have to STOP, when we get our liberty back…otherwise we will be BACK to where the system of laws and control started…
So lets ALL start here and join forces…..and BRING DOWN THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!
Cheers.
Liberty, Freedom………
August 4th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
No planes Bob?
There is independent film footage.
My god man. Even if you were right, which I don’t believe that you are, it is hard enough to convince the people that elements of our govt. could be responsible, let alone that no planes physically hitting the building. Go pass out some videos or go cash your check from Intel Center.

Remember one of the key attack vectors against the internet is shifting everything over to corporate-owned sites where people get to use a highly-regulated sub-page as their own, i.e. Myspace, Facebook, etc. A great example of this type of censorship is what’s happening over at BlogTalkRadio.

narramissic writes “The Global Internet Freedom Consortium (GIFC) offers a set of free tools that can be used to circumvent Chinese Internet censorship. The group claims approximately 1 million people in China use its tools to access the Internet. And, says Tao Wang, director of operations for GIFC, ‘it’s a very good time remind Western reporters that there are such tools.’”

Open letter to Alex and any millionaires who have good channels of influence and or authority, we need to IDENTIFY the criminals who are responsible/guilty of censorship and cause them to be brought to the mass public’s attention as criminals, much in the same way they do these things to us, they need to made to feel pressure, to understand the error of their ways, that this will not be tolerated, that we will root these people out and if necessary, drag them out!

keep up the good work.
August 5th, 2008 at 7:14 am
Come on now. I watched the videos and heard the conversations. Think about it….the internet will evolve just like anything else in technology. You have been “censored” since the late 80’s and it will continue to occur. Whenever you rely on a “search engine” to find sites, you are completely at the search engines mercy. That is why web rings have been established since they allow individual pages to link to other like sites. Back in the day, AltaVista with Digital use to be the papa search engine before google and yahoo. Their search sites only had a small percentage of site listings simply due to the way in which they crawl and categories sites. They were not intentionally censoring sites, they just did not have them listed due to time it takes to crawl EVERYTHING and categorize it for searching. Hit and miss. Today, if you do not have your site tagged with keywords following their standards the site will not appear. Just read up on SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
True censorship requires a great amount of work and knowing about sites before a search engine crawls them. If I put up a site today somewhere and do not use the search engines standards to flag my site, it will not show up on google. If I did get it on google, then someone would have to monitor the access and build a rule to block it. Whenever you use a kiosk or some connection that is sponsored by a business/government your access is governed by a proxy, just like in China. This proxy can block sites that are on a blacklist using keywords like the domain name or program names. This is done to prevent viruses, worms, trojans from infecting “their” network. Most ISPs have some basic proxies that you pass through to provide that business some security on their network.
Now, since most of us use a proxied connection through ISPs, if they start getting aggressive with the blocking then a site might accidentally become blocked since they consider it a risky place. Is this censorship, maybe, but the intent is to provide security to what they own and to the consumer. But again, this has been going on for years and is probably noticed more since the network viruses and malware/spyware have grown to ungodly purportions.
The question becomes: do you want to be responsible for your own security vs having the security baked into the experience? How are the companies suppose to protect themselves since they are providing this service to you? Unfortunately, when you use someone’s facility or services, you have to follow their rules. Plain and simple.

In summary from http://www.savetheinternet.com, the issue central to all of this is Net Neutrality. Grasp the concept, see who is at work to undermine it, and join together to stop this greed/censorship.
From: http://www.savetheinternet.com
What is Network Neutrality?
Network Neutrality — or “Net Neutrality” for short — is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet.
Put simply, Net Neutrality means no discrimination. Net Neutrality prevents Internet providers from blocking, speeding up or slowing down Web content based on its source, ownership or destination.
Net Neutrality is the reason why the Internet has driven economic innovation, democratic participation, and free speech online. It protects the consumer’s right to use any equipment, content, application or service on a non-discriminatory basis without interference from the network provider. With Net Neutrality, the network’s only job is to move data — not choose which data to privilege with higher quality service.
Learn more in Net Neutrality 101.
Who wants to get rid of Net Neutrality?
The nation’s largest telephone and cable companies — including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner — want to be Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow and which won’t load at all.
They want to tax content providers to guarantee speedy delivery of their data. They want to discriminate in favor of their own search engines, Internet phone services, and streaming video — while slowing down or blocking their competitors.
These companies have a new vision for the Internet. Instead of an even playing field, they want to reserve express lanes for their own content and services — or those from big corporations that can afford the steep tolls — and leave the rest of us on a winding dirt road.
The big phone and cable companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying Congress and the Federal Communications Commission to gut Net Neutrality, putting the future of the Internet at risk.
Is Net Neutrality a new regulation?
Absolutely not. Net Neutrality has been part of the Internet since its inception. Pioneers like Vinton Cerf and Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, always intended the Internet to be a neutral network. And “non-discrimination” provisions like Net Neutrality have governed the nation’s communications networks since the 1930s.
But as a consequence of a 2005 decision by the Federal Communications Commission, Net Neutrality — the foundation of the free and open Internet — was put in jeopardy. Now cable and phone company lobbyists are pushing to block legislation that would reinstate Net Neutrality.
Writing Net Neutrality into law would preserve the freedoms we currently enjoy on the Internet. For all their talk about “deregulation,” the cable and telephone giants don’t want real competition. They want special rules written in their favor.
My comment: Go and see the entire site and also the rest of the FAQ. This trend is subtle. They will do what they think they can get away with. You are the customer, let them know what you think. I did.

Ned Flanders……change that 99.9999% to 100%. Stop giving our criminal leadership ANY doubt. That small piece of doubt is what they have used to kill millions of civilians and thousands of soldiers in a never ending pre-emptive war based on known and admitted lies.
Q: “I seen the footage of the two “grey” planes (multiple angles) hit the towers on 9-11. What are you suggesting? That the media played some type of “pre-fabricated” footage of this event?
A: You’ve also seen the footage of the WMD’s presented by Colin Powell. You’ve also seen footage of ghosts. You’ve seen footage of a president being shot in Dallas. You’ve seen footage of the levee rebuilding in Katrina. Stop looking at the footage. I can show you millions of hours of footage of anything…..what does that prove? Nothing. I can test what was seen in the footage from an airliner crash. I never need the footage. But wait….every single speck of debris from ALL 4 crash sites was ordered destroyed or put under never-to-be-looked-at-or-verified lock and key. Which means you can never verify it other than what was shown on “footage”. Ned…Watch “September clues” for an introduction into what you are asking. At this stage we need to understand what the media lying REALLY represents. Just like our monetary system….the media is based on “trust”. When that trust is completely shattered….what happens then?
From Please:
Q: “There is independent film footage” Of course there is. Stop relying on footage and only look at verifiable evidence. Except for Rupert Murdoch’s camera shot of “live TV” all the footage came DAYS LATER after the detonations. Footage is about as useful as “testimony”. These were plane crashes not ghost footage. You can actually go to the site and test and look for body parts vs. the smell of a ghost. Look and analyze only evidence that can be verified.
Q: “it is hard enough to convince the people that elements of our govt. could be responsible, let alone that no planes physically hitting the building.” That’s an amazing statement. It’s like saying our government has lied to us 1 million times. But even remotely considering 1 million and 1 lies is completely unacceptable. What this lie does is completely destroy the media of the world. They were in on it and just as complicit as anyone in the Bush regime. (After you watch “September Clues’ online….keep in mind that 2 anchors in Network national news TV history have been hired on a Tuesday to start their careers when Monday was not a holiday on twice in 55 years. Those anchors are Aaron Brown and Paula Zahn. Both anchors were hired by CNN on the morning of Tuesday Sept 11th 2001 in NYC. Think about that when you are listening to them describe the “airplanes”). Ps…..I could care less about convincing anyone of anything. That is for YOU to decide. Like you said….people still don’t think our government was responsible at all even today. Verify to yourself first and let the world take care of itself.

What about mirrored type sleeper sites, I could build a basic site that could carry some of the news items from infowars verbatim so those that have been filtered out by there isp and/or govt could still access the information
August 5th, 2008 at 9:18 am
Well when this happens I will cancel the internet.I wonder how many thousands of people or business this will hurt.I can see a very damaging blow to our economy.
August 5th, 2008 at 9:50 am
for example, this paged mirrored verbatim on my website, but could do a hell of a lot more, that way our brothers and sisters in Europe and else where could get the info that is put up on infowars verbatim

The modern Internet is in many ways a Fractal representation of the Library of Alexandria.
It is the place of dissemination and association, which draws out the Thinkers amongst us.
These are the Interesting times.
We who’s minds are linked and know this to be true are taking advantage of this brief moment in time, a brief period where novelty has chosen to express itself.
We turn thoughts into electrons, and shoot them across the world unimpeded into each others’ minds. This is a rare event in space and time, a confluence of events and personalities that has never happened before.
There are those amongst us who appreciate, who see this for the treasure that it is – a fractal Soliton beginning to present itself for the first time in our history.
This Network is a product of the modern Bifrocation; we are the ones we have been waiting for.

You people need to be controlled and the internet needs to be controlled. It’s time to put the clamp down on all of these ridiculous and unnecessary constitutional liberties in the name of providing a safe and level playing field for everyone. The government needs to regulate every last stinking bit of internet traffic and anyone that dares to question this needs to be incarcerated! Mind control, shmind control! The draft needs to be reinstated and all of these obnoxious little baggy pants punks listening to that horrible godawful rap music crap need to be introduced to some good old fashioned Marine Corps boot camp discipline! The American public has had it far too easy for far too long! No more cheeseburgers! Mandatory national service campaign for all able adults! You question our glorious leader and president George Bush and you will be assigned labor detail working in coal mines in 14 hour, 7 day a week shifts! The government should send representatives to EVERY HOUSEHOLD IN AMERICA and everyone in that household should be required to sign an oath of allegiance to our president and our government and stop questioning authority. Now shut your pathetic, whiny little mouths, watch the baseball game, drink another Coors and rest assured your best interests are at stake and everything is fine and being efficiently taken care of. What have you got to hide anyway buddy?!!!!

I work for an international web based company. Everyone in the UK says the sites are working. I don’t doubt they want to censor but i think the UK example might be flawed. Was there a specific ISP that was known to be blocking these sites?
Sometimes INFOWARS and PRISON PLANET don’t come up for me in canada. I get a 500 internal error. I assume and always have that this has been a problem on your(inforwars) server.
Keep up the good work guys.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:10 am
I have absolutely no doubt they’ll try this censorship. If they succeed I for one will get rid of my computer.The political interchange and information was the reason I have it, anyway. Take that away and it’s of little use to me-I can buy my music and don’t use things like Face-Book etc. The Infowars,Prison-Planet, WeAreChange have/are, very useful to me, and I’ve only had my lap-top since last February-it would be a shame to lose it so soon! This really is the last straw, but not really surprising. They will put out a line about child-abusers.obscene images etc, to get the approval of the uninformed public,who will fall for their lies. as usual. As if this scum cared about obscene images etc-they make their living from corruption. While the public are so apathetic we are in for a hell of a fight Recently a non-establishment reporter said “Britain is sleep-walking into Fascism,with the introduction of ID cards”. He was so right, except it’s not walking, it’s RUNNING!

As a life-long Communist (except I’ve Never counted China as Communist) my views will not always be the same as a lot of people who post on here. However, I’ve been spreading the word about the Bilderbergers for many years, and know quite a lot about this so-called govt. here in Britland. Their Bilderberg connection is long-standing and VERY strong. they are in the fore-front of all this censorship, they’re past-masters at this. Watch them closely. The internet has worried them for some time, especielly since the Iraq outrage. THis war has bought millions out in the early days-but ptople let their guard down and get apathetic, and THEY never do! If they get away with F …..G up the Web we’re in BIG trouble Good on Alex Jones for his tireless work-we need a few clones of him! By the way, is there any info on the huge US funded underground facility under Austria /Switzerland. It is said to be the biggest yet.

Ron Paul for president! He will save us. A believer in freedom that goes beyond just freedom of speech. This is worrisome.

It doesn’t sound too true, but it could be. I don’t have to worry too much in the US, though. The First Amendment states that we have the freedom of speech, and can nonviolently petition the government. The Constitution is supreme law. So all you Americans posting – don’t worry too much. Everyone else, I just hope this is some kind of hoax or not the whole story.

I second that! JEES! I’ve been up all night tying to put my site together, & the power went off… – I realized how I take my computer for granted, even though I’m on it all the time, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET THE TRUTH OUT!

It’s absolutely obnoxious that they’re trying to censor the internet so much, but it’s obvious the Zionist controlled govts. are desperate to get their control over it like the T.V., so that we don’t hear or see anything they want us to know.
I was simply pleased to see an uncensored interview of Gen. Hamid Gul, the former ISI director by the Alex Jones Show.
