Censorship: Instagram (Facebook) Bans Qanon, Lets ISIS Freepost

https://summit.news/2020/10/07/instagram-bans-qanon-accounts-but-refuses-to… https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/instagram-bans-qanon-accounts-refuses-rem… Political censorship by entrenched partisan media... " Facebook-owned Instagram has announced that will ban all QAnon accounts, including ones that don’t promote violence, while refusing to remove ISIS propaganda accounts that celebrate 9/11 under the justification that “people may express themselves differently.” In an update to its policy announced yesterday, Facebook said that it was moving beyond a measure taken back in August that removed QAnon accounts which contained “discussions of potential violence.” “We’ve seen other QAnon content tied to different forms of real world harm, including recent claims that the west coast wildfires were started by certain groups, which diverted attention of local officials from fighting the fires,” said the social media giant. Facebook specified that it would “remove any Facebook Pages, Groups and Instagram accounts representing QAnon, even if they contain no violent content.” Many pointed out the hypocrisy of Antifa accounts still being allowed on the platform despite the movement’s involvement in numerous violent riots over the last six months. But not Antifa, even though they're literally a terrorist organization with cells in every major city, complete with uniforms and flags. https://t.co/mQAewCzGKW — Mark Dice (@MarkDice) October 6, 2020 While banning all QAnon content, Instagram has simultaneously refused to remove literal ISIS propaganda accounts that celebrate 9/11. As the Sun reveals, one such account posted an image of the World Trade Center being hit by a plane along with the caption, “One of the most beautiful scenes.” As recently as Sunday the Abogasm_1990 account posted an execution clip, and was followed by “20 other pro-IS accounts with more than 7,700 followers.” However, even after The Center for Countering Digital Hate reported the accounts to Instagram, the social media network refused to remove them, saying no breach of guidelines had occurred. Partially defending the content, Instagram explained that as “a global community we understand people may express themselves differently.” “It is unbelievably irresponsible, but sadly unsurprising,” said CCDH chief exec Imran Ahmed. So mere discussion of QAnon is completely banned, but actual glorification of terror attacks against the United States are just part of free speech, according to Instagram. "

"Bigots united!" .. or something :D - Ron Unz in classic style puts to bed the lack of "intellectual vigour" permeating accusations of "White Supremacy" - [ENJOY] [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

Bless thee Unz, for thy words be clear and though thy muffaducking mission be often thankless, it is yet dignified and true. Folks, when an interluckchewall powerhouse decides it's time to put slurs and generalized ad-homs in their place, you just can't believe it's not comedy. Ron Unz delivers truth, wrapped in dry wit. Enjoy, White Racialism in America, Then and Now https://www.unz.com/runz/white-racialism-in-america-then-and-now/ One morning a couple of years ago I received an urgent email from a moderately prominent libertarian figure strongly focused on antiwar issues. He warned me that our publication had been branded a “White Supremacist website” by the Washington Post, and urged me to immediately respond, perhaps by demanding a formal retraction or even taking legal action lest we be destroyed by that totally unfair accusation. When I looked into the matter, my own perspective was rather different. Apparently Max Boot, one of the more agitated Jewish Neocons, had written a column fiercely denouncing some recent criticism of pro-Israel policies that Philip Giraldi had published in our webzine, and the “White Supremacist” slur was merely his crude means of demonizing the author’s views for those of his readers who might be less than wholeheartedly enthusiastic about Benjamin Netanyahu and his policies. After pointing this out to my correspondent, I also noted that a good 10% or more of our writers were probably “White Nationalists,” and perhaps a few of them might even arguably be labeled “White Supremacists.” So although Boot’s description of our website was certainly wrong, it was probably less wrong than the vast majority of his other writing, which was typically focused on American military policy and the Middle East. ... --- Note the following extract (not in the brief quote above): Unz: "today’s WNs are an extremely vilified and marginalized group, with their ranks therefore necessarily skewed towards eccentrics and misfits" This quote discloses an insight - that when any particular part of human reality is significantly suppressed/ vilified/ marginalized 'in the public square', the ranks of those willing to discuss that suppressed topic publicly or to be associated with that topic publicly, is "necessarily skewed towards eccentrics and misfits". --- One of the greatest educational and social crimes against the goyim, is the erasing and rewriting of our history and the demonisation of our actual intellectuals of the past, even (especially I guess) those who were "fulsomely praised" by leftist Jews e.g.: "in 1936, a Jewish leftist fulsomely praised E.A. Ross’s long and distinguished scholarly career in the pages of The New Masses, the weekly periodical of the American Communist Party, only regretting that Ross had never been willing to embrace Marxism" "Ross was actually one of our greatest early sociologists, and his 26 page discussion of Jewish immigrants published in 1913 was scrupulously fair-minded and even-handed" "E.A. Ross .. now largely forgotten except when portrayed as a racist cartoon villain by ignorant present-day academics. Last year, I noted such crude treatment by Holocaust historian Joseph W. Bendersky in his book documenting and condemning the views of America’s Anglo-Saxon elites from a century ago" https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-secrets-of-military-intelligence/ "Ross was quite plain-spoken in his views, and his long career was bracketed by his leading national role in major free speech issues. As a young academic, he had been fired by Stanford University for his political beliefs, a celebrated incident that led to the creation of the American Association of University Professors, while he ended his life serving for a decade as national chairman of the ACLU." Unz's work in restoring and bringing forth our actual intellectuals of the past is a thankless task in many ways in this "modern" climate fomenting White hatred and extreme bipartisanship, extreme (false) dichotomies, and the destruction or inverting of much of our language - as Unz puts it "the severe flaws in our current climate of harsh ideological censorship". --- Unz's article linked above is quite long, but naturally worth a full read if you can grant yourself the time for it. Thank you Ron Unz, you continue to bring your best to us all, a blessing indeed!

Vice president Biden, referenced in the emails as "the big guy" was directly involved in his son's lucrative influence peddling to the Chinese at the time he was negotiating an astonishingly unfavorable trade deal with the Chinese. But the Democrats are on course to announce Biden the election winner, which may well collide with a supreme court and senate announcement that Trump is the winner.

New York Post: Twitter censoring Post’s Hunter Biden exposé is ‘election interference’: GOP leaders
by jim bell 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

Twitter censoring Post’s Hunter Biden exposé is ‘election interference’: GOP leaders https://nypost.com/2020/10/17/twitter-censoring-posts-biden-expose-is-elect… Jim Bell's comments:. They are correct. If Russia buying $6 million of Facebook ads in 2016 constitutes "election interference", then what Facebook and Twitter have done easily exceeds that in scope and seriousness. American election laws ostensibly protect against companies and corporations making "campaign contributions". If a newspaper or magazine gives free ad space to a candidate, that's an illegal contribution. But what if Twitter obstructs a news story about Biden's illegal dealings with Ukraine? Not merely refusing to run the news story itself, but actually prevents people from linking to the story? Twitter is clearly giving a valuable benefit to Biden's camp, but thinking it is allowed to do so. They will suddenly discover they have made an illegal campaign contribution, at least according to the arguments which were used against the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court decision a few years ago. Oh, the irony ! Whether or not the Citizens United decision actually legalized this, they will have to explain how many more contributions they will openly make.

[spam] I possibly pushed trump by emailing zenaan Fwd: Add your name: No more forced hysterectomies
by Karl 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

Doing my duty and sharing that an e-mail I sent to zenaan likely influenced trump's tweeting. On october 14th, I sent some liberal christian propaganda to zenaan; it seemed to make sense since he was sharing conservative christian propaganda, so the share split the two kinds of propaganda two different ways. On october 17th, the same group reported trump had started spreading public messaging against them. This is after years of them sharing these things without any issue. I've sent other e-mails to zenaan and he replies in a friendly manner. He does not seem to share them with this list anymore. Once we had a somewhat lengthy conversation where I thought it was in public but it was actually in private and I hadn't noticed. ====------ Later Forwarded message (I trimmed this one down to just a bible quote before forwarding it) ------==== From: Karl <gmkarl(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2020 16:41:56 -0400 Subject: Fwd: The Trump campaign just called Faithful America a "fake Christian group" To: "Zig the N.g" <ziggerjoe(a)yandex.com> closing the feedback loop i started. not christian nor an organizer or activist anymore myself. this one has tracking pixel removed; it's unlikely anybody looked at the last one ---------- Forwarded message --------- *"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." - Exodus 20:16* ====------ Earlier Forwarded message ------==== From: Karl <gmkarl(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2020 09:12:27 -0400 Subject: Fwd: Add your name: No more forced hysterectomies To: Zenaan Harkness <zen(a)freedbms.net> This classified message appears to contain a tracking pixel. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Faithful America <mail(a)faithfulamerica.org> Date: Wed, Sep 23, 2020 at 3:31 PM Subject: Add your name: No more forced hysterectomies To: Karl Semich <gmkarl(a)gmail.com> ICE has been forcing women in detention to receive hysterectomies against their will. The horrifying news comes from whistleblower Dawn Wooten, a former nurse at ICE's Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia. *[Content trigger warning: Sexual abuse, sterilization, deportation]* Dear Faithful America member, In a year full of grave racial injustices, this is some of the worst. U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement has been *forcing women in ICE detention to receive hysterectomies against their will.* The horrifying news comes from heroic whistleblower Nurse Dawn Wooten, who worked at ICE's Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia. Let that sink in: The days of the Tuskegee experiment, when our government intentionally let Black Americans suffer from syphilis, are not over. *Violent, state-sanctioned medical abuse against women of color is still rampant in the United States.* When Jesus' mother Mary sang of bringing down the powerful from their thrones, it was surely with abusive governments like this in mind. A fundamentally racist system must be changed, and the corrupt authorities who have enabled it -- including Donald Trump and his allies -- must be swept from power. The first step is to put our faith into action by *supporting the calls of local organizers to permanently shut down Irwin.* *Tell Congress: Shut Down ICE's Irwin Detention Center >>* <https://act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/shut-down-irwin/?t=2&akid=4084%2E49734…> This is forced sterilization – and it fits the broader pattern of racist abuse that has characterized the U.S. immigration system for decades. Immigration officials have been repeatedly accused of rape inside detention cells, filming women as they showered, shackling pregnant women, ignoring miscarriages, and threatening victims with deportation if they speak out. *The problems have only grown worse in recent years, emboldened by Donald Trump's hatred.* It is not surprising to learn of such atrocities from an administration also guilty of separating families, rejecting refugees, teargassing those who protest for racial justice, banning Muslims, desecrating sacred Native lands, and supporting white supremacists. Yet some have been brave enough to speak out. In Georgia, organizers and attorneys have been taking complaints of medical neglect for a long time. In Texas in late February, Cameroonian women at an ICE facility staged a sit-in to protest their lack of medical care. What's different this time is the courage shown by whistleblower Dawn Wooten. Nurse Dawn is a Black woman, and Black women have often been the bedrock of social change. She will likely be the subject of racist attacks herself, which makes it all the more important that we believe her, support her, amplify her complaint, and *condemn racism whenever and wherever we see it.* *Tell Congress: Shut Down ICE's Irwin Detention Center >>* <https://act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/shut-down-irwin/?t=3&akid=4084%2E49734…> Thank you for everything you do to love your neighbor, welcome immigrants, and oppose both racism and sexism. After you sign this petition, we'll send you several next steps you can take in the fight against injustice. In peace, Rev. Nathan and the Faithful America team P.S. Friday night brought additional devastating news: The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The grief and mourning that so many of us feel right now is real, as is the fear for what might come next. We will have actions to take as soon as the president announces his nominee for the vacancy, and we will continue our campaign to unseat the president and thus secure the future of the Court for a more just America. May her memory be a blessing -- and a revolution. In the meantime, we remember Justice Ginsburg with this tribute from her close friend, NPR's Nina Totenberg: "A Jewish teaching says those who die just before the Jewish new year are the ones God has held back until the last moment because they were needed most & were the most righteous. And so it was that #RBG died as the sun was setting last night marking the beginning of Rosh Hashanah." *Baruch Dayan HaEmet* -- blessed is the True Judge. *"The immigrant who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the immigrant as yourself, for you were immigrants in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." - Leviticus 19:34* ------------------------------ Faithful America is the largest online community of grassroots Christians putting faith into action for social justice.
