RT deletion re Assange

It seems I have run afoul of some moderation standard, though for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. My comment was smart and funny and truthful and,... and now it's gone. I used no foul language, I spoke disparagingly of the premier American intelligence agency, and I spoke approvingly for the most part of Julian Assange. I'm no troll, but apparently it seems so to the man behind the curtain -- don't you just hate the anonymity of censorship by moderation? Wouldn't you rather that they had the courage to stand in the sunlight when they arrogate to themselves the right to cancel your freedom of speech? -- the man behind the curtain saw fit to erase me from the record. Will this comment get past the hidden gatekeepers? I suspect not, because of what I'm about to do next? But then you can never tell.

If anyone cares to view the deleted comment it can be found on my blog,

And if, perchance the moderator(s) should happen to see this before deleting it, please feel free to drop by my blog and explain your actions.   Here's the offending comment:
The £12m is chump change for the CIA. I'm sure they have already payed, and gladly, that and more to the Brits (and the Swedes) for keeping Assange locked up in an Ecuadorian jail,...er, embassy. The US doesn't really care about punishing Assange so much as discrediting him, making an example of him, destroying his power as an international heroic figure and inspiration to other would-be Robin Hoods. They accomplish that perfectly by keeping him in jail indefinitely on nothing more than tawdry and groundless non-charges. Assange, who had humiliated the US, has now had the tables turned, all the power and celebrity sucked out of his image, reduced to a self-evidently powerless loudmouth facing five more years of jerking off in what amounts to a one room Ecuadoran jail cell.


Had he been a truly heroic figure he would have broken out of his UK confinement, gone shopping at Harrod's next door, taken a helicopter ride to the Ecuadoran embassy in Oslo, and from the balcony there, thoroughly humiliated the Swedish prosecutors and other assorted US stooges in the Swedish government, while Swedish babes lined up around the block for the chance to party with him all night long. But sadly, after famously poking Uncle Sam in the eye, he lost his nerve, and got boxed in by lawyers who put a leash and choke chain around those once legendary big brass ones.


Game, set, and match to the CIA.

"Terrorism" and other manipulations

From The Next Big Future, which I believe is Brian Wang's website/blog (I'm new at this stuff) , I find a piece entitled Terrorism is a subset of Murder http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/terrorism-is-subset-of-murder.html (asserting, if I get it right, that Terrorism is illegitimate by virtue of being criminal). One commenter, Gigi, responded: As I have already tried to say before, I consider any use of the word “terrorism” more or less pointless. In fact, reading much of the western media about “terrorism” there is almost nowhere any clear definition of the word “terrorism”, for the simple reason that for any kind of such definition many of the military actions taken by the West against unarmed civilians in, say, Iraq or Vietnam may well fall in this definition. Is this an action of terrorism? http://boingboing.net/2010/04/... Simply put it, if Hamas kills one Israeli civilian it is terrorism, if the US or Israel directly kill 10 or more Palestinian it is

Origins of Covid

Posted to the comments section of Genetic Literacy Project (and then almost immediately removed as Spam.  But then almost immediately reposted and marked as ***NOT SPAM***.) https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2021/03/25/about-bats-and-covid-why-the-wuhan-lab-leak-theory-shouldnt-be-dismissed-out-of-hand-and-other-reflections-one-year-into-the-crisis/  An aspect of this matter that has not been covered/mentioned, even by Ron Unz in his review: Twenty years ago, witnessing the rise of China with double digit GDP growth, and the rapid Neoliberal transfer of manufacturing to China, I thought to myself that the US could only recover competitiveness and the US jobs that were then being moved to China, in (***only***) one of two ways: (1) Nuke China "back to the stone age" (radical in the extreme, as well as "impractical" because of China's nuclear deterrent, and because the barbaric severity would have correspondingly severe global political implications).

Yet another comment critical of Israel and its tribal criminal accomplices, removed by the "moderator" at Antiwar.com This was comment in response to "jake", to    Israel’s Bennet Warns There are Non-Peaceful Ways to Deal With Iran , 10/13/2021.   No surprise of course.  We live in the Age of Censorship and cancellation, so Antiwar.com must be careful lest it be "disappeared".                              ************************************************ Jake = Jacob = just another hasbarist. "Israel is a free country." No. " Israel is a democracy." No. Zionism is a criminal ideology, perpetuating itself through the purchase and coercion of governments and concealing its evil behind an indisputably brilliant global program of sanitizing propaganda. Israel is a geopolitical crime-in-progress. No crime has "a right to exist". No criminal enterprise has "a right to defend itself ". It has a right to surrender to a compet
