Facebook Reverses Itself Three, Four Times?

I didn’t sign up to be the modern Kafka.

I just wanted to make sure people understood what fascism is, since it’s resurgent and spreading everywhere you look.

The dystopian corporate control of society continues at rapid pace. So many willingly cede their freedom to unelected, unaccountable profiteers without a second thought. You do enough of that, you get a Blade Runner styled hell on earth.

The recent rise of the billionaire oligarchs meddling in our lives and in our governments should be a flashing alarm to anyone with even half a brain, but they tend to worship the overlords rather than fight them. It’s like the world was smarter a century ago when “Robber Barons” were understood to need reining in. Today, they make them president and die trying to keep them in power after they lose elections.

Perhaps Facebook relies more on small-time ad purchases than it does government contracts (and I have spent money there). So, maybe they aren’t completely entangled in government/corporate “partnerships” yet. That may bear on my specific case. But, the chilling effect of erasing people from platforms when they say things your bosses don’t like remains a serious problem right here, right now.

ADDITIONALLY

My Facebook account is now BROKEN–deliberately? Maliciously? Is this plan D? Of course, there’s no one to talk to about it. Welcome to the machine, my son.

While I can post on my main page, I cannot post on any of the sub pages I have created there. It freezes up with a little bar that only says “Share to a Page.” My posting option is removed on all the sub-pages. This is a type of ban that may be intentional on their part, and/or it may go away after 90 days, as that was the original ban.

Remember, all this corporate harassment is simply for posting the definition of fascism, as people don’t want to know.

Facebook Censoring Ideas and Quotes

PPS — UPDATE 2!

Facebook has reversed its reversal, and now attacked me about 10 times for the same post made a year ago. The post is simply the guy who invented fascism giving the definition of fascism (Mussolini). Apparently Facebook is a blatantly fascist enterprise and it doesn’t want you to know what it’s doing.

#

Fuckerberg’s dystopian nightmare is finally coming into view. This is now not allowed to be known :

Previously, they censored Goebbels saying to blame the other side for the crimes you perpetrate. People are no longer allowed to know anything about fascism, and we see the results. They fucking don’t.

It seems these corporations are fighting on the wrong side and punishing those who oppose the fascism they are now supporting. In Zuckerland, Ignorance is Bliss–does saying that go against their ridiculous “Community Standards” too?

PS

UPDATE: Things moved quickly this time.

1. They rejected my “disagreeing” with the decision.
2. They also dinged me 5 times for the same post, a way of making the offense count five times instead of one?
3. A new review system is in place, where you make an account to “appeal” which I did.
4. After a lengthy, sarcastic as fuck “appeal” they REVERSED the decision.
5. HOWEVER–They didn’t link the reversal to the appeal, with no apparent connection. It could have been one of the three “disagreements” I had previously done. The Zuckerberg labyrinth remains intact. Who knows how anything was decided, since they don’t have to tell you anything. They most certainly will not take the appeal to be a catalyst for examining their own practices.

But Wait, There’s More! (of course there is)

Oliver Stone on Election 2020

Oliver Stone writes:

Many of you have faulted me for voting against Trump because he “didn’t start any wars.” Putting aside the recent riot in our Capitol, consider the new meaning of “war” in this hybrid-cyber age. Jeremy Kuzmarov of Covert Action Magazine (founded by Ellen Ray and Bill Schapp, who published Jim Garrison’s last book) reminds us below of the extremely hostile foreign actions taken by Trump on behalf of our country. For those who don’t care to read this article before forming an opinion, here’s a brief synopsis:

1. He broke the Iran Treaty and withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord.
2. He withdrew from the INF Treaty with Russia and will not renew the Start Treaty, which expires next month.
3. He accelerated the ‘war,’ hybrid and cyber, on China and Russia through sanctions, trade tariffs, and threatening military actions on their borders. He’s also covertly promoted regime change in Belarus on the border of Russia. He sent packages of lethal arms to Taiwan, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, and others — $55 billion in weapons sales, a new record. He also unfroze military aid to a tyrannical Egypt and bombed Syria, winning bipartisan praise from a warhawk media and Congress.
4. He significantly hiked our military budget (favoring a major increase in nuclear weaponry). He expanded our endless drone war and killed hundreds of civilians, and dropped the “Gravity Bomb,” “the mother of all bombs” on Afghanistan. He created a “Space Force” to militarize what’s left of this universe as we know it, and he’s fetishized several times his worship of our military muscle with absurd descriptions such as “big,” “glorious,” and “beautiful.”
5. Israel — where can I start? He made it abundantly clear to the world that the United States is totally one-sided in favor of Israel’s occupation of Palestine. Has ended forever the fiction of America as a neutral force in the Middle East.
6. He avidly sought regime change in Iran and illegally murdered a high Government official, General Soleimani, by drone in Iraq — a national hero to Iranians.
7. He vetoed Congress on any end to US involvement supporting Saudi Arabia in its brutal war on Yemen.
8. He supported right-wing coups in Bolivia and Venezuela and continues a dirty covert war against Venezuela’s sovereignty, won through elections far more honest than their corrupt opponents propped up by the US.
9. He restored the worst of our malignant policy against Cuba to please Rubio and his Cuban exiles in Florida.
10. Besides continuing our illegal surveillance program (domestic and foreign) and breaking all the rules of a free press, common sense, and decency, he’s prosecuted Julian Assange to a point of absurdity, although he’s not even an American citizen. At the same time, he outrageously pardoned several war criminals found guilty in court-martials by our military; some of these crimes, ironically, were revealed by Assange’s journalism.
11. Appointing Pompeo as Secretary of State and John Bolton as his National Security Adviser has to be seen as a degraded nod to the crackpot neoconservatives of our Government, which, like moths in a closet, never seem to go away, even after being discredited for their lies during the Second Iraq War. Both men are disgusting symbols of the worst part of America, consistently threatening and bullying foreign countries.
12. On the positive side, yes, he did question NATO, which many believe has outgrown its purpose. The only reason it’s given such giant budgets is enabled by their over-hyped warnings of Russian threats. He’s also pushed for withdrawing troops from various countries and made efforts at a lasting peace with North Korea, but did not accomplish his goals.
13. What bodes ill for our country is that the Democrats generally supported these actions and condemned any attempts to withdraw from Syria. So much for America’s bipartisan relationship with the world. This is a disastrous cul-de-sac, leading us to vast expenditure and further growth of our arms industry. It’s the wrong course, a state of strategic tension that abolishes the possibility of a progressive partnership with Russia and China on things such as climate change and nuclear weapons. On the world stage, America, like Trump, has become an outlaw nation.
14. Further to this bipartisan attitude, on January 6, in the shadow of the riot in D.C., an equally sinister event was unfolding, minimally reported to the American public. Biden appointed neocon warrior queen Victoria Nuland as #3 in the State Department, a very important post with significant powers. The “Beast” of Ukraine, Libya, and the Steele Dossier, Nuland will go to any lengths to destroy Russian sovereignty. With her steely determination, she — a monster in waiting — now has the ability to lead us towards an unnecessary nuclear conflict, which will dwarf all the other problems on this page.
    Be warned, be alert, and despite the odds, I wish you all a fulfilling happy/sad New Year in 2021.
