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.

Right to exist, right to self-defense.....not!

The following is a post I made to The Algemeiner, an online Jewish publication, in response to "Golda Meir was no J-Streeter", http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/09/08/golda-meir-was-no-j-streeter/#comment-4474211. Like many Jewish publications The Algemeiner has a limited tolerance for the truth when the truth is critical of Israel and its supporters, and so, not surprisingly, the comment was deleted by "moderation". I reprint it here for your consideration. ************************** Make no mistake, I’m an American and a Jew. For those of you thoroughly infected with the Judiasm-destroying poison of Zionism, here is the antidote to your Kool-aid dreams. Drink deeply and wake up to reality. We often hear the phrase “Israel’s right to exist” and along with it, “Israel’s right to self-defense.” Hear them endlessly, by propagandists who repeat them endlessly. But endless repetition does not make a thing true. The phantom “legiti...

re censorship at antiwar.com

Really, Thomas? Who is the drama queen here? You're embarrassing yourself with this name calling. My comment disappeared. What am I to think, you're on a coffee break? So I posted the link to my backup, my all-but-invisible, low-traffic,... make that no-traffic,... blog. The "rules" you cite give the Jews a free pass on their complicity in the Zionist project. It's ok to criticize Zionism or Israel, but not the Jews that make their crimes possible. That appears to be the rule, and it amounts to Antiwar.com caving to Jewish/Zionist intimidation. It may be discretion -- as in "discretion is the better part of valor" -- but absent the lethality of bullets-and-bombs-combat, it's cowardly. It was cowardly then, as it is cowardly now. That said, it ***IS*** Justin's website and he gets to decide on when "discretion" -- strategic restraint -- is called for. I've had this issue since before you were moderator. Someone Jewis...

Political Self-Immolation

"What is relevant is Donald Jr's INTENT. In his email response (I am paraphrasing, but you can verify) he says, if the offer of dirt on Hillary is true, I love it! The intent behind this statement is loud and clear." I agree with you that this is the heart of the matter, and like you I am surprised that the so few of the anti-Trump people have zeroed in on this crucial element. Good on you for bringing it front and center. Let's take a look. Trump jr gets an email that says, "We've got dirt on HRC from the Russian govt, and we want to share it with you as part of Russia/Putin's effort to help Trump win the presidency." (This may not be absolutely the precise wording, but this will be the most aggressive/damning "parsing".) Then Trump jr says, "I love it, bring it on." This will be spun as Trump jr declaring his willingness and his INTENT (your caps) to collude, and as the very first substantive act in the process of collusi...
