We have a new God… Facebook. Below is my slight adjustment to the biblical story of the loaves and fishes with which Jesus fed the multitudes.
They came to “Mark” and said they only had five Apps and two devices. Mark directed the people, on their laptops, to sit down in groups, and instructed that the Apps and devices be distributed. They all looked up to Heaven, and Mark gave thanks — and the disciples fed them to the people. His followers were satisfied, and afterwards, the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of data that were left over. Followers claimed a new Messiah had come into the world. Yeah truly He said “Go Face and spread the Book.”
There are 2.23 billion monthly active Facebook users. Of Western Europe’s 375 million adults, 70 million attend church at least once a month, whereas four times that many, 307 million, subscribe to their new messiah — Facebook.
And the messiah and his co-messiahs can deny anyone from speaking from their altars.
Infowars’s Expulsion
You may have guessed what prompted me to write this article — the “news” about Alex Jones and Infowars. He is possibly the loudest Alt-voices on air with 2.5 million Youtube subscribers, yet he was “yanked off” several platforms by the social police run by World Inc — or whatever these corporations are!
Last Thursday, the audio streaming app Stitcher was the first to remove Alex Jones, and this was followed on Sunday night by Apple booting Jones’s Infowars content from iTunes. Facebook, YouTube, and Spotify quickly followed. It has to be one of the biggest purges of popular content by the internet giants, and they don’t seemed to be bothered by Jones’s 2.5 million subscribers.
An Apple spokesperson said, obviously trying to justify their actions:
“Apple does not tolerate hate speech, and we have clear guidelines…”
The Changed Landscape
I now see two amazing developments.
Firstly, “corporations” have become the new censors! I myself don’t like hate speech, but are we to believe Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Tim Cook and Eddy Cue, YouTube’s Susan Wojcicki and Spotify’s Daniel Ek really care for the people who are recipients of hate speech? Hang on. We know they like dissent as it attracts more ad revenue. But what about the appallingly violent videos (on ISIS for example) that are easily searched on Youtube. Oh! Rightly, they weren’t ‘hate speech’ — they were just murder and mayhem.
And what further restrictions might this “club” put on us in the future?
Recall Orwell’s 1984. There was actually a prescribed “Two-minute hate” and you weren’t free to demur – but even for Orwell, writing in 1949, it was a government that was in charge, not private businesses! This is quite a development. Oh the effrontery of the monied business class!
Secondly, there may as well not be legislators anymore. How effective can Parliament or Congress be when you’ve got billions of people addicted to their laptops — taking as Gospel whatever is dished out. I almost can’t blame the Zuckerberg set for feeling the power. They can now set the agenda.
And it seems governments almost become irrelevant in our “democracies.” Only the government can violate a person’s First Amendment rights. But as corporations, Facebook, Apple and YouTube have always been able to restrict what people say and do on their platforms — even if they pretend otherwise.
Framing The Debate
The MSM have brilliantly twisted this into a Left vs Far Right debate — and adding “hate speech” and “conspiracy” to the menu.
You can get the gist by looking at ABC (Australia), the ever-faithful imitator of the MSM. ABC proclaimed:
“Jones has amassed a large following on the right while promulgating conspiracy theories that claim terror attacks such as September 11 were actually carried out by the government.”
OK, let’s stop right there. Please, ABC, this has nothing to do with left or right. And stop with your Fake News. The twin towers were brought down by advanced technology. We have been informed that they were blown up with variable yield mini-nukes (W40). And Building 7 was a classic demolition. How dare you classify logic and science as a rant by a conspiracy theorist!
Informing the public of the 9-11 hoax is neither left nor right — it’s just exposing a crime. At GumshoeNews we have often followed the way you and the MSM twist the reporting of government crime into something else. Why do you do this?
To continue with ABC’s recent comment:
“It is unclear why the companies are cracking down on Jones now, after allowing him to publish for years. Facebook has been under fire recently for not banning Jones [pressure from propaganda machine, CNN]…
“Among his [Jones’] claims is that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, which left 20 children and six adults dead, was a hoax.”
Several of the families have sued Jones, accusing him of using their suffering to expand his audience — and Jones has counter-sued. So, ABC, if you want to find out what did or did not happen at Sandy Hook school, in Connecticut, USA, how about sending an investigative… an investigative reporter to cover it?
To bring it up now reminds me of Mary Maxwell’s predictions. She thought that the claim that “no one died” was a planted provocative statement that might be used later to trash or punish the writers who said it, and thus to trash all of us who work hard to defeat false flags.
The “Hoax Hoax”
Back in 2015, Mary Maxwell was calling it a Hoax Hoax in her article. She suggested that many Youtubers were probably ‘enlisted’ to spread an outrageous hoax story — so that at the right time their sloppy stuff could be brought in to play, to debunk any narratives that expose official ones.
In her December 2014 article, “Sandy Hook Denial Will Be Criminalized, Like Holocaust Denial?”, she wrote:
“I think I’ve figured out what’s going on!… You know how legislators have been on a mad kick lately to curtail civil rights? They want to take away gun rights and free speech, and they want to criminalize acts by journalists that have the effect of exposing crime in government. Can’t you just see them proposing to outlaw Youtube criticism of ‘terrorist’ acts…?
“…I now say the purpose [of the indignation about Sandy Hook;s bereaved families] is to pave the way for legislation that will forbid the discussion on Internet of any crimes that we are supposed to dutifully believe in, be it 9-11, Marathon, or terrorist acts yet to come.”
Mary sees William Brandon Shanley’s filing of a lawsuit “to prove Sandy Hook never happened” as just one more insider game to confuse the issue. (Gumshoe’s initial coverage of the Shanley suit in 2014, with numerous sharp comments from Gumshoers.)
Your New Government
The new legislature, and law enforcement and judiciary — consists of Apple, Facebook, and so forth. If they can yank a ranting Texan off the air, they can yank any opposition they like.
One wonders whether the Alex Jones kerfuffle is a backdoor attack on Trump and his supporters. I believe that Infowars must have had some influence in the last presidential race, so maybe this is beta-test for the mid-term elections on November 6. It will be statically revealing how quickly Jones stages his comeback. How dedicated are his followers?
The New Legislators
But it seems the government has enlisted new legislators: Apple, Youtube, Facebook.
There is no need to rewrite the legislation in a hundred countries. Governments and shadow governments all across the globe have this mega-monopoly to watch over any dangerous narratives.
Unwinnable War
In Wired, Issie Lapowsky writes “Why Big Tech’s Fight Against Infowars is Unwinnable:
“…both companies stand accused of censorship by Jones and his followers. And yet, if Disney, Fox, or Comcast opted not to air InfoWars, it’d be considered a programming decision… or if The New York Times didn’t publish his op-ed, it’d be considered editorial discretion.
“Facebook and YouTube are media giants, too, worth more than all of those other companies combined. But they’ve never wanted to admit it… It was their own mythology about being neutral…”
Now there actions have proved Jones was right. He said “I told you this was coming.”
Facebook and YouTube have become so unprecedentedly huge — together 4 billion users a month — that they can now influence elections with a simple logarithm. Forget governments hacking elections!
Collusion to promote Fake News
These days you can’t trust anything.
Maybe the congressional inquisition of Facebook and Youtube was designed to have this effect: shut down “rightwing” voices.
Maybe Jones was enticed to step over the line — so that they could crush him, and send the message that they can shut anybody down.
Interestingly, these giant tech companies acted in ‘concert’ to take-down Infowars — a dangerous cooperation. It was collusion — although they deny this.
What we do know: there is a deliberate attack to label many false flags as Fake News. But we still don’t know who the real puppeteers are.
Maybe with Jones off the air for awhile, other commentators will quickly rise in popularity. I am just hoping some young tech-heads are busy working away on some alternative to Facebook and Youtube. I’ll take great delight in deleting my Facebook account.
Here are Paul Watson’s video “The Purge“, and an ABC Four Corners report on how Facebook operates.

Wm Shanley filed in 2014. His complaint was that the New York Times put a caption under the pix of kids in the Sandy Hook schoolyard that did not match reality. He asked for a trillion dollars in damages.
It was dismissed as frivolous in a Connecticut court in 2015 and he passed away in November 2017.
I follow/support various ppl from alt-light to alt-right and I’ve followed AJ on and off for 8 years.
There is abundant disinfo about him in MSM and even alt-media over the years, escalating lately.
The only thing different he has done lately is ramp up commentary that the Chinese have increasing control over many US institutions like universities, Hollywood, Big Tech and the IC.
This is MSM/BigTech making their move as they are losing the information war.
If you want inside info on the behind-the-scenes intelligence war between the black hats (Swamp) and white hats (Trump), see:
https://www.neonrevolt.com/2018/07/11/who-is-qanon-an-introduction-to-the-qanon-phenomenon-qanon-greatawakening/
And BTW, AJ never said no one died at Sandy Hook.
He had Wolfgang Halbig on his show, who said as such but AJ never said it (I think it was a training exercise that “went live”).
Everyone who is interested in freedom of speech MUST get behind AJ at this point whether you agree with him or not.
Otherwise it will be a case of – first they came for Alex Jones…
Richard, tonite i was in a restaurant that has a big screen but I was not close enough to it to hear, just see. That screen on other days when I visited was FOX so I am guessing it was FOX. I am in New Hampshire).
Anyway they had a segment about Alex Jones. They showed many scenes of him in which he was jumping around and getting red in the face and looking like a nut. But I must say it looked like he was doing that on purpose so FOX could do what they did. (as it were).
Since you have followed it for 8 years I will bow to you, as I have almost no experience with Jones. But what do you think he is all about? Whom does he work for? What makes him say scary things?
I sometimes really like his aggressive approach — warrior like speak. Its a change to the BS on television. After all these years listening to how passionate he gets… he is really against the globalist agenda.
Those snippets of him jumping up and down Mary would have been “picked” from hours and hours of him just jabbering away. He is verbally confrontational, but the Neoncons are confrontational too… they just bomb and kill people (politely).
Will Dee be prevented from satire?

Re the Hoax-Hoax issue:
People who aren’t focused on anything more than personal comfort are bound to swing from one pole of planet Woo Woo to the other, busting out of the place altogether being just too much like hard work. The phenomena might have the same effect as counterintelligence but there really isn’t any conscious strategy per se; imputing undue credit is a big mistake.
it’s really just up to every individual to remain neutral about everything that can’t be corroborated by physical evidence
Fiona tweeted
“Alex Jones permanently banned after interviewing @IsaacKappy. Soon all victims and whistle-blowers of CIA child trafficking will be shut down by the CIA-owned social media sites. A source just warned me I am next.”
I agree.
by it’s very nature truth suppression is bound to be counterproductive
For what its worth, I have lodged my protest by deleting my facebook account.
Come on others. It will not be the end of your world, believe it or not. You can do without face book.
And you can even do without your mobile phone. Lets get rid of some of the deadly radio-activity from our lives, before we have 5G foisted on us. 5G will multiply may times the radiation swilling around our environment. Aren’t enough people being brought down with cancer caused by radio activity already?
I’ve never had anything to do with Facebook and it’s beyond me why anybody would
Me neither, I refuse to even click on any link to it. It also looks like is going to get worse for the manipulation at FB, check out this article on its’ new links to NATO.

Alex Jones has been in the internet arena for how many years? All of a sudden numerous techo companies act within days of each other to get rid of his program, watched daily by millions of people. And we are told that there was no conspiracy involved. Eh What! Give me a break. Big Brother just showed his hand.
We had been warned, but very few have listened. Now reap, what you have sown.
What or who will be next to be put out of business? The internet? Or will it be made illegal to correspond with your local politician, as you could be mis-leading them, for your own purposes. As if that hasn’t happened for the benefit of big business for years.
After having looked at the internet site of Richard’s suggestion above, I have a more positive outlook on our future than I had this morning, if what is stated is actually happening.
It seems there may be some people in very high places organising Mr Trump’s political moves in a positive direction.
” – together 4 billion users a month – ”
Is this the mark of the beast or the scientific evolution of artificial intelligence ?
I sum it up this way….If big agency’s have something to HIDE/COVER , eg: CIA, FBI FACEBOOK, they WILL take it down and any-one around them as they please! and then on the other side, If you do NOTHING to HIDE/COVER they want touch it or you! because its USELESS to them..
The Maddie McCain story is a good example…
Pizza Gate, Vatican, Boys/Girls homes, Police, Hollywood, these all have the cover-up factor, and sooner or later, they will protect it by taking it down and worse!
The world is corrupt, and run with demonic forces, for power and control, NWO, Zuckerburg is only one of them….

Check out Greg Buck’s video above, to see what will eventually happen to these techo companies. This maybe is why they are all of a sudden attacking the alternative media. They are running out of time to implement their One World dream, before the financial crash eventuates. If the financial crash happens before the big take-over it will be too late for many of the high flyers. They will be buried.
When interest rates go up, Facebook and others will go down financially in a big burst of flames, with share holders coming out empty handed. As Greg explains these sorts of companies show on their books massive incomes, but don’t legally have to show the massive debts being incurred on their borrowing that actually keep the company operating. A huge Ponzi scheme.
Stumbled across Real.Video because of other site(s) that had been extinguished by google’s youtube and were mentioned in other independent media sites.

I have not been a close follower of Alex Jones (still some nagging doubts) – but FWIW, here is his channel on Real.Video

I posted this video in the Lauren Southern in Lakemba comments section, for those that missed it, here it is. Lauren and Stephan Molyneux left Australia and then went to New Zealand to give a talk. You need to watch the video to see what happened to them.
This clampdown on free speech is much bigger than the internet. There are some SERIOUS entities behind all this international clampdown to control the narratives. This is not just some bunch of fruit-loop liberals, this (IMO) involves intelligence agencies monitoring anything that poses a threat to the approved narrative – and then taking moves to subvert the truth.
It is the same thing I went though 15-20 years ago, but the technology has changed, so the methods of control have changed.

“conquered territory, conquered land”
And Pine Gap?
And what,exactly, did the Cronulla riots achieve ?
It’s been brought to my attention that the Bilderburger meeting in June of this year had a topic of discussion on the ‘post-truth’ world.
Post-truth, which was Oxford English Dictionary’s word of the year in 2016, is an adjective defined by the dictionary compiler as “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opnion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.”
So, two months later we are seeing a ‘purge’ of people who are trying to discuss facts, while using the cover of emotive calls against ‘hate speech’. – Interesting ‘coincidence’. The fact the tech companies were in heavy attendance is probably just another ‘coincidence’.
I hope someone can dig up some more information on what was actually discussed at the elite’s Bilderburg meeting. I got a feeling this ‘conspiracy theory’ has got some legs.
The New Zealand ‘purge’ on free speech is apparently bigger than just the Southern and Molyneux speech. Check out this bit of nonsense.

Terry, it is even more telling that the only headlines on th sidebar of that NZ Herald that you linked are:

Hey, here’s one they could use:

I’d have to say that, given the idiotic questions posed by a p. c. interviewer, Southern and Molyneux did a superb job:

Jones Bashing…. “they have considered not showing this clip because it has DANGEROUS IDEAS”
Here is another way to look at the “Purge” issue.
There were various social parties in town last week and I did not get invited to any of them. So does that mean my right to speech was taken away? After all I may have wanted to natter on about pedophilia at those parties.
No, of course not. I don’t have a constitutional right to be invited to private meetings. Facebook is a private party to which the public was invited, at no charge and with no “dress code” about, say, criticizing pedophilia.
Then the meeting-place owner said “Shut up everybody. I’m the boss here and there well be no discussion of certain topics.”
Then folks interpreted that as a chilling of free speech, which it wasn’t – and started VOLUNTARILY to bite their collective tongue
A month later the owner said “And you will all wear long sleeves at my house.” Then people realized he was just being a pratt and then wandered away and started a new “short sleeves” club.
Since there were no electronics available anymore, they met in public fora. They met at barbecues in local parks. They “leafletted” whole neighborhoods. They spoke at the Inverness Forum. They put on plays at the student union.
They actually exerted a bit of effort in the task of overcoming the rich and “powerful.” People’s biochemistry went into high gear, as it does when in battle or when there is camaraderie.
They invited Facebook’s owner to one of their parties and he was glad to accept, as life had been lonely for him ever since Aussiemal and the others quit. He said “What must I wear?”
They all fell on the floor laughing at him.
I hop people noticed my adjustment on the “F” on the photograph
I spotted it, very clever way of illustrating the new religion. I also spotted that you wrote ‘hop’ instead of ‘hope’.
