The Horror of Censorship

Or, the inconsistency of Troofers. Hilariously, the dolts are all up in arms over Jesse Ventura's 9-11 fruitcake rant being removed from the Huffington Post:

"I can't believe the Huffington Post today will practice censorship," Ventura says in astonishment. "I've got news for them. ... I won't ever write for 'em again."


Of course the Huffington Post has had a long-standing policy against posting 9-11 nuttery, and while that policy has been inconsistently enforced (see here, here and here for examples of Truthiness that have been allowed to stand), it is at least well-known.

And where do the Troofers get off complaining about censorship? Do they allow me to post at 9-11 Flogger? Not on your life; I was banned over there years ago. Would they let me post at Truth Action? I haven't tried registering, but I was pretty quickly banned from their chatroom. Do they allow non-Troofers to post at the Debunkers blog? Of course not.

Here's the Body himself on the always reliably Troofer-friendly Russia Today:

So, when did Jesse Ventura start looking like Doc Brown?

Doc Brown, Riff Raff, the village idiot ... certainly not the tough guy who didn't have time to bleed.

yet another 2006/07-ish coOpted truither bullshit campaign: “Building What?!” by Bob McIlvaine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH9meDbrlP8 +++ i also disagree with simon shack here *again. Bob is not smart enough to be an "actor". I know him personally since 2002. He first got systematically oppressed, censored and then brainwashed by Kyle Hence, and after that maybe from even more sinister 'insiders'. All he represents is a fool, a robotized 'microphone' and puppet in the hand of an Orwellianized DoubleThink Movement, run by bechtel- and privatized, pro-europe leaning defense contractor assholes; I am also sure he never heard about EADS, Thales and co. and doesn't know anything about Directed Energy Weapons. The Orwellian Truthers "wiped" out his last brain cells. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH9meDbrlP8

Actually what I was most reminded of is the guy who played Scrooge in the early 1950s black and white version.

It's not "censorship" on a private web site.

All Ventura is saying, "Look, if you decide to practice censorhip, I ain't gonna' write for your website no more." Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

As for your "truthers are all censorship all the time" - well, I don't practice it on my blogs.

 
At 13 March, 2010 08:33, Blogger Boris Epstein said...

Actually, the part I missed (and also the part Pat failed to cover) is that Ventura had been asked to be a contributing editor at HuffPo - so naturally, when after that he was censored that upset him.

Why - he is 100% right in this situation, as far as I can tell.

Great site you got going there, Arianna.

Incidentally Boris, can you spot the difference between a statement like this?:

'Common names or not, the biggest problem - or one of the biggest - is that the people listed as hijackers and looking like whoever was on the photos of alleged hijackers, have since allegedly surfaced very much alive.'

And this?:

'Mr B, I do not know if those people are still alive. Nor do I know if the story that there were people claiming to be erroneously identified as hijackers were (sic) correct to begin with.'

Yes, the first statement somewhat expands on clarifies the first.

Er, no, Boris. In your first statement you say there is definite proof that some of the suspected hijackers are still alive, and in the second you admit that you don't have a clue.

'....and then Patrick the Ninny from Cincy said and then Bilbo Baggins said and then Nico Haupt said and then Paddie (up at the crack of dawn!!) said and then PornBoy said and then Soldier Boyo said.......you get the message.'

So why do you keep coming back here, Walt?

Such a loss!

As for your "truthers are all censorship all the time" - well, I don't practice it on my blogs.

Nobody reads your blogs, so you can't censor anyone in the first place.

Also, as Lazarus Long said, a private website deciding who can and cannot post is not censorship. I'd love an Op Ed at the New York Times, but they aren't "censoring" me if I don't get one.

Let me know when the government jails Ventura (or any other "truther") for their idiocy and I'll agree with you about censorship. Hell, even Barrett's borderline treason isn't getting him in trouble.

Well, yes, he is.

What kind of threat is it that some Mongoloid moron refuses to write any more articles?

It would be a bigger threat to say he was going to write more.

That'll learn 'em!

Yes, he is a stupid man and so are you for thinking otherwise.

Yup. Affirmed by the Supreme Court in Tornillo v. Miami Herald.

You guys are good at everything but answering/debating the physics and engineering which indicates irrefutable proof of controlled demolition and opens up a litny of other issues.
Bring on all your certified architects and engineers...hmmm Gross and Sunder, under what rock are they hiding? Its a simple debate, you guys claim you are correct, lets settle it once and for all. Call up your pals at NIST and tell them its time to shut up the 1100 [and growing] Architects and Engineers. If your going to talk it, walk it.

Oh, another debate we can put together, the issue of superthermite. Get your peer reviewed group of physicists to take on Dr. Jones group. Call up your pals at NIST, they actually know a whole lot about superthermite. NIST is one of the leaders in superthermite development. They know what are the red/gray chips.

Here is a quick example you can use as debunking ammo. 2/9/2009 Mandarin Oriental Hotel 44 story total inferno. Steel and concrete structure still standing after fire is put out. WTC #7 47 floors, small isolated fires, turns into a pile of rubble 7 hours later.

They've probably got better uses to put their knowledge to than arguing on the Internet with screwballs.

Oh good one angrysoba.

Still, no one steps to the plate to settle the issues. We are waiting for the liars and deniars to gather up their engineering/physics team and accurately refute the scientific findings as forwarded by 1100 A/E and 9 global peer reviewed physicists.

Gross, Sunder and Bazant have every reason to come forward to defend their work? Its industry protocol to defend ones research.

WHY ARE YOU WAITING? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?

WHY ARE WAITING?

I'm not being ironic, Walt. I genuinely think you're a waste of DNA, and that if you had any shred of self-awareness you'd top yourself.
