On February 6, Google revealed not only its dramatic bias against conservatism, but against reality. How else to explain an email received by WorldNetDailys Joseph Farah with regard to the Google AdSense policy?
The email announced that AdSense would be cancelling WorldNetDailys account thanks to a policy violation email this morning regarding negative/hate speech particularly with the repeated references to black mobs, although I dont know that this is specifically what its limited to. According to Farah, Google wrote, The reviewers cited a number articles [sic] with usage of this term specifically and in general asks that no ad code is placed on articles containing hate/anti or sensitive content as this is against Adsense policies and does not provide a good experience for users and advertisers.
So what, exactly, was WorldNetDailys heinous offense? WND reported on the so-called knockout game phenomenon in which mobs of black teens attacked white and Jewish passersby in a macho attempt to prove their testosterone-filled bona fides. Google did not reference any specific misuses of the term black mob, nor did they identify any articles that actually constituted hate speech. Just the term black mob was disallowed, both within the content of WND stories and any comment left from viewers within the forums on WND.com, Farah explained.
According to Farah, the issue goes beyond simply WorldNetDaily. [W]e heard from a reliable third-party source, he stated, that Google has a list of sites they actively monitor for policy violations. Apparently WND is on that list because other sites with same or similar content are not getting flagged.
Perhaps most disturbing, Googles decision to pull WNDs AdSense account did not restrict its scrutiny to the actual written material by WND staffers or writers; it also encompassed the comments section...

Black mob = group of minority youths misbehaving
The keyword-seeking program won’t pick up on that one.
I agree.
My comment on the mark of the beast was
meant more shift the thought toward the spiritual things.
It is a war between good and evil.
It does appear we’re seeing heavenly battles playing out here on earth as people more and more away from God. Always leads to lawlessness on all levels.
America had been elevated by gospel belief. It wasn’t perfect, it was distorted by various theological hobby horses of actual denominations. But it managed to avoid the “gay rage” until a few decades ago.
I think a big part of the groundwork for this problem is America dropping the gospel ball. Among this is sexual purity problems. Divorce rates for self proclaimed Christians sadly parallel those of nonbelievers with otherwise parallel demographics. As America cared about this less and less, this monstrosity finally got a serious social toehold. It demanded to leave the closet, and hypocrites found themselves too weak to keep standing for sexual purity.
The other day looking around at random in Wikipedia, I came across some information (hopefully accurate) about how Roman pagan society dealt with sexual purity. Apparently the pantheon they believed in was enough to motivate them. There wasn’t any “god of homosexuality.” They did have Venus, and likenesses of her decorated the public baths in order to encourage purity. When people offended the gods enough in that system, it was held to result in the appearance of a “prodigy” which did not have the positive connotation it does today. Instead it was a monster demonstrating vice in a way that could not be ignored.
Paul’s letter to the Romans, in the passage (1:21ff) that descends into outlining how rejection of God leads to homosexual conduct and other nasty things, is interesting to both compare and contrast to those Roman ideas. Even the pagan pantheon told them to predict such events from displeasing the gods. So drawing the parallel from that theory to what happens with rejection of a single actual God would at once ring a bell with them.
I do have to say, that Christians have gotten too comfortable with being satisfied with social virtue. That can’t carry anybody to heaven. Even pagan gods can effect that kind of virtue. Christians must reframe their battle in deep spiritual terms if they want to win. Just standing back and letting it all go to hell because oh, this is supposedly the final judgment... well to me that’s to shrink from the Great Commission with a cockamamie excuse.
And thus endeth my rant of the moment.

Jim the WND website is not available through Google search, but it is not available through a regular from the browser call, either with www.worldnetdaily.com or www.wnd.com
Neither work from the browser. I don’t understand how Google could be complicit here. Sound like the site is down and if there is someone here that knows Farah...he should be notified.

So do I. Jim do we have a better alternative plan than Yahoo?
They are all working now, strange happenings.
FR has a Facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/26012226159/
Of course they are quite liberal in their political views, they could block FR Facebook if it gets real good...
Great rant #24
In this current fascist faggot fiasco, as in every other national deviance of the past few decades, there is ONE enabler without which none of it would have been possible:
