Censorship
It is not the first time I have touched on Freedom issues and will not be the last. I have made it clear over the years that “Freedom is in the mind of the beholder!” Other words what means freedom to you may not be crap to me…
America is no more free than most countries in this world. Just a different set of freedoms, with a different set of rules.
So today lets touch on Jesse Ventura. Jesse Ventura is an American politician, previous governor of Minnesota, retired professional wrestler (Jesse “The Body” Ventura), Navy UDT veteran, actor, former radio / television talk show host and lately contributing editor on Huffington Post!
The last one is what we will focus on for this article. Jesse was asked to write for the Huffington post and Jesse did just that. He was asked to write about anything that he wanted to express about and he did just that. Then the ax dropped after just a couple of posts…
Jesse had a article about the 9-11 terror issue. He quoted a few paragraphs from his book that he wrote called, American Conspiracies, to give some backing to the reason why more than one thousand architects and engineers had signed a petition demanding that Congress begin a new investigation into the destruction of the World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9/11.” because these architects see the signs of a controlled demolition as an important issue.
The article was front and center, (as we say) of Huffington Post when it first was printed, but after just a few hours it kinda fell off the earth.
Now all that you see is an editor’s note saying, “Editor’s Note: The Huffington Post’s editorial policy, laid out in our blogger guidelines, prohibits the promotion and promulgation of conspiracy theories — including those about 9/11. As such, we have removed this post.“
The note is followed by three pages of comments, that were gotten in before Huffington Post cut it off at the quick…
Looks like Huffington Post could not handle the heat from the government pressure it seems. For this was not a conspiracy situation but an asking of the facts to be re-verified. I know because I was one of the commenters and could not believe that article was censored. I was actually proud of Huffington Post for printing a breath of fresh air!
The 9-11 subject is very taboo in America and anyone who questions the facts of 9-11 are labeled as theorist, terrorists, trouble makers and about 20 other names. They are labeled and that is the problem. In this case it caused a censorship of a very serious article.
Jesse has a no holds approach to life and that is OK with me and is why I like him.
Jesse is correct when he says that:
“We call our country home of the brave and land of the free, but it’s not. We give a false portrayal of freedom. We’re not free – if we were, we’d allow people their freedom.” (Jesse Ventura)
I feel right when a man like Jesse who is a Navy SEAL amongst other things, questions our freedoms in America. When he brings to front issues that really need to be communicated about and not hidden in the shadows.
Then he is censored. That means we are censored and our freedoms are not just in danger, but are blowing away in the wind as we read this article…
