Being the somewhat hardcore activist that I am, I have to wonder what type of censorship Substack will try to bring? I ran into that on Medium a while back and decided to post here instead, with a copy sent to Medium for the small handful of people who actually do read my drivel there. Medium started shadow banning my political articles and stories by burying them so deep few could find them without a direct email.
Will Substack start doing that too? I have no desire to try and set up a coded alphabet in order to talk to my friends or publish my thoughts. Too much trouble. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if anything goes awry in the future and deal with it. I suppose if Substack banishes me, I can always post to my own website blog but I would lose a lot of readers if I did that. My website has an Irish name and most English speaking people can't be bothered unless it has some kind of catchy English name.
If you do decide to go all covert and such down the road, you'll have to send us a decoder of some sort. Bad ces to the peelers if they want to start suppressing our free speech here on these platforms.
I don't think it was Substack that did it. I think it was an Australian writer who got in trouble with the US because of their support for Palestine. I would have provided links if I could have found them again.
I read about that. You're right, it was an Australian Substack writer who wrote articles in support of the Palestinians and the CBP detained him in Los Angles and sent him home over his articles, or so he told some U.S,. news company.
He's not the only one though. There have been several other people who've been turned around lately at U.S. airports over their social media or journalism that Trump and company doesn't like. Now, international students will have their social media profiles scrutinized during their student visa application process, before being granted or denied entry.
As for us who are, so far, still legal citizens of the U.S., we still can write what we please for now. But I suspect that will change soon as well. I plan to keep pushing until they come for me, just because.
As for the encryption idea watch the movie "Zero Dark 30" and pay attention to the efforts taken by OBL. The only way to encrypt a message securely is to transfer the encryption code by hand between parties and only use it once. The Internet is an open book to the government. Proton mail may be "end to end encrypted" but Google wrote the Android operating system and the email is decrypted for you to read. Nuff said?
Federal law prohibits an encryption routine they can't read as well.
I thought the movie was a nice piece of propaganda because I think obl was already dead but it did shed some light on message handling and the surveillance capabilities and methods (that they allowed shown) of the CIA
As for the homeless asshole he's just parroting the MSM and government. The homeless "crisis " is being created by the government as part of the corporate master plan to take over America. "Safety nets" are meaningless words on paper to cover up the takeover. It's all THE BIG LIE.
America isn't being destroyed. It has been. Trump is just putting the final touches on the destruction to complete the Nazi corporate work of art.
What I find most humorous is the fact that the right wing Christians voted in what I would consider to be the Anti Christ. The slick tongued talking satanic liar, promising a utopia from Revelations. Satan managed to fool the Bible thumping true believers!
"As for the homeless asshole" Just in case. He's not homeless, he's a well off instructor who currently lives in Oklahoma in a big house on a lake where he drinks expensive whisky, smokes expensive cigars and expounds on the world from the safety of his porch.
I knew he wasn't homeless. Just an asshole. But I do appreciate the added description. An educator of sorts showing us his skills. Is it any wonder 70 per cent of the county is functionally illiterate?. Our president and his cabinet have never read the constitution. Have no idea what the oath of office means. And I'll include the majority of the federal government in those comments.
I make it a point to meet homeless people when I get out. I haven't met a single drug addict or mentally ill one. They've all found shelter in the white house, Congress and on wall street.
Off topic but whatever happened to all the children sex slaves on Epstein Island? Any idea? I have some. Zero media coverage. Odd for the story of the century.
