 Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 9:37 am Post subject: Top 25 Censored Stories for 2009 |
 |
|
Each one of these deserves a thread in itself. #5 is especially chilling in that it allows not only for the seizure of assets of anyone seen as hindering the mission in Iraq (say, by protesting against it) as well as the person's spouse and dependent children, but anyone providing food or medicine to such a person can also become liable! So all his assets are seized, and no one can feed him, and if he gets sick, no doctor or hospital can help him???

Questions for the CT/OP:
1. How were these stories censored?
2. By whom were they censored?
3. What's the evidence proving the assertions in the story titles are true?
4. If these stories have been censored, how do you know about them?

I don't think this affects protestors. More like insurgents. |

WTF does this question mean? |
Fixed. BTW, CC/OP, of course, means Conspiracy Theorist/Original Poster in this thread. You did make the original post in this thread and you announce plenty of times on this board that you're a conspiracy theorist so that can't bug you. |

I defy you to quote anything from me where I have announced even a single time that I am a "conspiracy theorist."
If you cannot, then realize that you are getting personal and thus violating the TOS.
This is becoming irksome when I want to discuss an issue, but someone wants to instead discuss me. Yeah, yeah, I know I am fascinating and all that, but I like to change the subject now and then.  |

Come now, comrade OP-answer the question: if the capitalist-imperialist-Zionist network/ruling class elite(yada, yada) has decreed that these stories are to be censored, how is it that we are reading about them at Dave's?
Well?

If I remember rightly, you deny there is a category of 'conspiracy theory' and consider, for example, two teenagers plotting to rob the local 7-11 a conspiracy in the same category as the CIA/Cubans/space aliens offing JFK. |

| Click the large-font headline. The "Censored News" project has been around for a while. |

| They abuse the word 'censored'. What they really mean is 25 stories that the MSM decided not to run. Mostly. |

Ah, my bad, I missed that. I thought it was just blue for attention grabbing. |

Yes, I use the terms "conspiracy" and "theory" as defined in a dictionary. I call someone who sees plots all around him in the lack of objective evidence a "paranoid psychotic."
And you consider the idea of alien lizards on Mars controlling people's minds on Earth as equivalent to the idea that perhaps some guys in a cave on the other side of the world may not have masterminded the 9/11 attacks against history's greatest military power.
My title of that thread is 9/11 was no conspiracy.

Wow, so many people have not heard of Project Censored?

I am glad someone gets it.

Yet, some still don't.
Cute. |

Au contaire, bubby. I consider people who think Bush masterminded the attack on the WTC to be flaky. I am able to grasp the difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy theory. So far, you have not.
However, given the weirdness of this last August and the total outrageousness of the far right, I am beginning to reassess my evaluation of the JFK assassination. Given the "I'm just bringing my AK-47 to a presidential speech because the Second Amendment says I can and who are you to be asking me about it" attitude, I have begun to think again that just maybe ole Lee Harvey was recruited by the good old boys of Texas--Rick Perry anyone? I have to ask: Is it entirely impossible that the Birthers/Deathers etc daddies masterminded the assassination of a modestly liberal president, given the hysteria they have shown with another modestly liberal president? [The chink in the armor is: Could such wingnuts mastermind anything more complicated than a circle jerk?] |
