A Full-blown Cultural War

Thought police.
First they cut off Wikileaks from funding, then they came for Julian Assange. Then they demonitized alternative media on YouTube. Then the FBI came after alternative media -- Antiwar.com and Justin Raimondo "investigated". Then Antiwar's own Scott Horton erased from Twitter (and Facebook?) along with Alex Jones and a "turncoat" NYT investigative reporter.
You would think this would inspire AW.C to defend freedom of speech. But no, the thought police are here as well. Don't think of criticizing the .... (not allowed to write the name.)
You can find the "offending" material at .... (but no, not allowed even to tell you that.)
AW.C: cowed, if not owned, by the Hasbara.
For twenty years AW.C has been at the top of my bookmarks, and the first place I go each day to check on the inspiring lack of human progress.
I'd like to hear from Justin. Defend this policy. Why are you allowing the same abuses to which you and AW.C have been subjected, to be practiced here on AW.C?
And one other thing. Why is it that "Jake", the Hasbara rep currently assigned to AW.C, cannot be blocked? Check it out, you'll see that it's true. What's that about? Does he come in through a "backdoor" not owned by Disqus?

    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...

    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...

    Sunshine on the Suck-ups

    In response to an article -- "a splendid little war could end Trump's presidency" --  by Jim Jatras https://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/a-splendid-little-war-could-end-trumps-presidency-/ Jatras is a perfect example of the comprehensive cluelessnesss of the political class. Here, on display is the reason US foreign policy has been a flat out disaster for the last thirty years. Generations in the echo chamber of foreign policy "expertise", where the rule is bobble-headed yes-man servility and craven obsequiousness to the interests of the 1%, has lead US foreign policy to a place where an enforced and self-reinforcing notion of "expertise" is in fact zombified incompetence. Trump is in the big chair. That Jatras cannot see him except through the lens of "a shallow, superficial, unqualified Twitter-addicted unstable personality who never should have been allowed into the Oval Office..." clearly indicates that a war for the definition of ...
