Fuck Israel. Cancel it and beware of all Zionists. Israel is a Worldwide Terrorist with cells everywhere.

1 State Palestine.

Hello Chuck Nasmith. Heh... At least you're consistent. Fuck Israel for sure. But replace the "Zionist" meme with the term "Technocrat". Much closer to the actuality of the situation. Best regards.

Two years ago, MAGA was in arms when democrats and liberals were pushing for online censorship.

Now that they have the whip hand, they're all in. Note how democrats and liberals are silent.

I knew this would happen.

Not true: "They are not silent. That claim is too broad.

Democrats, liberal media outlets, civil-liberties groups, and First Amendment lawyers have been objecting to Trump/FCC pressure on media and online speech. For example, Senate Democrats recently pressed FCC chair Brendan Carr to back off ABC, arguing the agency was being weaponized against dissenting media. ABC/Disney also accused the Trump FCC of violating First Amendment rights over actions targeting The View.

The ACLU has also been active on free-speech retaliation issues, warning that government cannot punish speech because officials dislike the viewpoint. Free Press likewise organized more than 80 First Amendment scholars and litigators calling on Carr to stop what they described as unlawful jawboning and censorship.

But there is a real hypocrisy problem on both sides. Many conservatives who screamed “censorship” under Biden are now comfortable with Trump-world pressure campaigns when the targets are liberal media, universities, protesters, comedians, or critics. And many Democrats who were too casual about platform censorship during COVID, Hunter Biden laptop fights, “disinformation” policing, etc., now sound much more absolutist because the weapon is pointed at them."

You don't provide much in specifics, but the ACLU was fine with censorship, as long as it was Team D.

Anyway, I got a question for you.....

Well done for publishing and saying - Peace be upon you by Gaza and Jerusalem - Honour and victory are the allies of the axis of resistance and its allies, and humiliation and shame are for the axis of evil, Epstein Class (USA, Britain, France, Turkey, Qatar, UAE, NATO Governments, Zionist and Israel) and its allies.

Zionists are far worse than any caricature of them, however atrocious those caricatures may be.

Latest Apple update in the UK locked devices down to only accessing child friendly sites until you proved you're an adult by submitting your credit card details or driver's licence. Devices you paid £hundreds for, locked down at OS level with no warning it would happen.

And next? Unavoidable whitelists that dictate which sites you're allowed to access from their devices? So much easier than having to block individual sites - & no need for billionaires to buy up sites like CBS or Tik Tok - just require everyone who wants their sites accessible to apply to the government for a place on the whitelist.

Patrick Powers's avatar

That Apple update is extortion.

Facebook banned me until I gave them a video of my face, profile included, claiming that I had to prove I wasn't a robot. F them. I'm not going to give it to someone who lies about their motive. They would just sell my face over and over.

Google wants my face too but they have yet to threaten me.

If you own an apple device you are morality reprehensible and sharp as a marble so you get what you deserve.

Looks like Google is going to go the same way - they’re removing side loading from Android. I have a Samsung phone & tablet - bought before I found out about the Appcloud Israeli uninstallable spyware on there (ostensibly to install games but reports of all kinds of nastiness included too). You can disable it via settings (or get your device to show it as disabled.Whether that has any actual effect is anyone’s guess).

How many times do we have to say this stuff? It’s exhausting.

Paul Vonharnish's avatar

Hello Tricia. Yup. Not really "exhausting". Yet redundant, childish, parochial, and plainly stupid. No functional *remedy* are ever offered. Alternate media terrorism at best.

As it gets more dire, make plans to leave the "I". I lived with no internet for the first 51 years of life. Take steps to limit the surveillance...no apple, microsoft, google, amazon or meta for starters.

I have noticed of late that it can be difficult to sign into your site with my VPN turned on.

It isn't the same each day. Today it was smooth going.

My Facebook account was suspended, I had to give biometrics and my drivers license to get it back. Then they disabled it permanently. No appeal possible and I am blocked from creating another account

JennyStokes's avatar

Lucky you. I don't seem to sign off from mine. I thought I had done it and now it's Back. I don't want FACEBOOK

Feral Finster's avatar

My account was suspended for allegedly being Russian.

I decided that it was good riddance being shed of FB.

Shelagh D you should've walked away. You've now given them exactly what they wanted - your photo ID and your biometrics.

And after they got what they wanted, they told you to go pound sand anyway.

No one in this day and age should be on Facebook.

From the day they mothballed DARPA's 'Lifelog' only to relaunch it the very next day as 'Facebook', it has always been a surveillance data dragnet operation, and people still haven't figured that out yet.

Jon Olsen's avatar

Exactly so Caitlin. Conflating the two is profoundly and deliberately dishonest.You nail it here:

"This is crazy, hysterical bullshit, and it should be treated as such."

Impeading freedom of speech is a hate crime. If no one had to worry about government censorship, tracking, targeting then no one would need online anonymity.. The Technocracy that is taking over the world will be Totalitarian beyond any imagination. It is the Only way to impose control.

Unfortunately, the effort to create the distinction between Zionist and Jew is doomed to fail. In the situation of global economic recession or the collapse of supply chains, people are going to equate the flag of Israel as the flag of Jews and respond accordingly. Israel has spent its ENTIRE existence creating that facade. It's only very recently that there is a sliver light between Zionism and Judaism in the mainstream. There is an active, underground neo-Nazi party in the United States trying to recruit people, USING THIS WAR WITH IRAN as a selling point. I think "Jews of conscience" really need to start identifying themselves as persons of conscience, because that'swhat they actually are. Governments aren't the only ones who know how to abuse social media.

I’ve posted this from time to time in various platforms, but so far no takers.

Time for all those wonderful, principled American Jews, to sue the ADL for defamation, slander, libel, and unauthorized appropriation! Make the ADL have to admit publicly, with every statement, that they do not speak for all Jews.

Similarly for Australia, UK, etc.

A friend of mine had someone hack his iPhone and stole all of his retirement money, even though he had all the biometric protection. He logs in every day so he noticed right away and was able to get his money back. Apple said such theft wasn't possible.

If I give someone my biometric info they can sell it to a fraudster. I don't see what is secure about this.

The pictures of Polanski genuinely shock me. But it's interesting: An recent example of what antisemitism actually is, it's "energy vibe". They are nauseating. It's good to be reminded what it is and what it is not. They couldn't be more different from the vibe of anti genocide protesters

More important than ever that the search for justice continues! The work that the Hind Rajab Foundation is doing to track down and bring Israeli criminals to justice is one that is vital in the effort to hold Israel accountable.  Let us hope they will also turn their sights on the criminal leaders of the countries of the west who are co-perpetrators of these crimes.

Find out what they’re doing here:

The least we can do is donate to help them:

Any day now we should see a new official definition of antisemitism being adopted. It will tell us that opposing genocide (at least of Palestinians) constitutes antisemitism.
