First, they came for Alex Jones ...

I have a question on this issue... and i don’t wish for it to be taken the wrong way... but...

What is the difference between youtube and FR?

In other words, who ultimately “owns” youtube or facebook?

Are these sites technically or even legally considered public domain???

FR makes no bones about banning liberal thought here, and yet here we are seemingly a bit hypocritical because the OWNERS of the youtube site are obviously left leaning.

It doesn’t really matter if they advertise as unbiased or fair, (when they are not) because ultimately those sites are privately owned... and outside of copyright concerns, they can legally publish anything they want, or restrict access all they want because it is THEIR platform... just like FR is owned by Jimrob.

The answer to this whole silencing of conservatives on social media issue is fairly simple... Legitimate competition. We need alternatives to youtube that are either openly biased for conservative use, or truly fair and impartial when it comes to public access.

Just because Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter have seemingly cornered the market on social media USAGE does not violate someone elses free speech rights when they are banned from using those platforms.

We need to stop wasting time whining about this, and start fighting back with the power of free market competition....
While we have it.

Hes not crazy, hes a false flag waiving counter-intel CIA mouthpiece. He says exactly what hes paid to say.

That's why they took him first. Did you see the story about Dems trying to take control of the internet censorship to insure the "truth"?

This is really no different than trying to get the right to censor "free speech" by banning flag burning or the young Gores pretending to be Bible thumpers and use the PMRC to control free speech "for the children".

Get the enemy to demand exactly what you want and you will always win.

They came for Alex Jones, and in the brou-ha-ha almost everyone forgot about Q, and shadow banning, and the bogus FISA application, and Bruce Ohr. Mission accomplished.

Excellent overview of who controls the marketplace and how they managed to achieve that control.

You might be interested in this paper, The Network of Global Corporate Control, which explains how it is not just the money masters' wealth that gives them their control, but it is the interlocking ownership of the major corporations in the marketplace that greatly magnifies that control.

As the linked paper explains, if you own 50.1% of the voting stock of a company then you control 100% of it. If that company owns 50.1% of a second company then you also control 100% of it - while actually owning only 25% of it. If you repeat this process many times over throughout the marketplace you end up controlling much more than your actual wealth would justify.

The paper I linked above analyzes the interlocking ownership of the major international corporations and concludes that the world's largest wealth holders control 10 times the economic power that their wealth alone would account for.

And how did they manage to establish this ownership structure which so greatly magnifies their control?

You hit that nail right on the head! It is the free money created by their private central banks, along with the large international banks which funnel this money out to the chosen few, that allows them to select the winners and crush or strangle any company that could potentially rise to a position that would damage their control structure.

Private central banks are being used by their owners to control our lives and buy our world out from under us. We either end private central banking or we end up as serfs.

I remember hearing about Alex Jones and Info Wars during the GWB years. They were all about being antiwar and hating Bush then. The antiwar lefties at work loved him. They put Info War bumper stickers in their offices and on their cars. When I drive around, I still see a lot of their stickers on cars with other pro-left stickers. I’ve never seen an Info War and Trump sticker on the same car. That could be just in may area though. I always thought of Jones as a political Art Bell.

However, having said all of that, the fascist left can’t take opposing views. They don’t like anyone criticizing what they do and try to shut them down at every turn. It’s Alex Jones’ turn to be their whipping boy. If the left were about truth and shutting down fake news, they would all be out of business.

I don’t usually say anything about Alex Jones on FR because my understanding is that Jim doesn’t like it. But I have listened to Alex Jones many times and many times he is right. Sometimes he’s totally off the rez. You have to decide for yourself about that stuff.

One thing I have observed over time is that Alex Jones is a tireless advocate for children and now basically evil the defax system is. With all the high up pedophilia stuff that is going on I’m not surprised that there is an effort to take him out now.

>>>You have to decide for yourself about that stuff<<<

You just hit the nail on the head.

THAT is exactly why this assault on Free Speech is so devious. They take common sense and personal responsibility out of the equation by telling people what ideas are acceptable to their Leftist Ideology.

Of course, people who are perfectly fine with this Censorship have no idea of the ramifications on a Civil Society composed of Free People.

It’s all good. Why some people have a problem with multiple postings is beyond me.

[Jane Long]

I wasn’t very clear.

I meant I posted EXACTLY what this headline says, on an earlier AJ thread.
As in, if we do/say nothing about this....then we’re next.

Sorry for the confusion.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Got it!
I totally agree with your post too.

The follow appears to me to be a simple solution to the “Facebook /Alex Jones” problem (that’s short-hand for the issue of “censorship/blocking”):

1. Don’t use the usual platforms for reading the news or other posts. Go directly to the website (infowars.com, lewrockwell.com, diamondandsilk.com, billwhittle.com, etc).

2. If you find something you like, “share” it on Facebook, Youtube, etc., not to be read but simply to clog up their capacity and keep the moderators glued to their seats.

3. The point is: one can still get the information one likes, but get it directly from the source, not from the bulletin board / platform. Then use the platform against them by forcing them to live by their own rules and standards.

4. Also, every time you find something stupid or hateful from a liberal/progressive/socialist, post it on the platform. See if they will apply their rules and standards against their own ilk.

With just a little thought we ought realize the left is begging America to use government to intervene ... the consequences will be devastating to freedom in the long march.
