JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

SCOTTSBORO WEATHER - SUN & MOON RISE

Censorship Causes Blindness to reality - courtesy of "Al.com" and Advanced Internet



Internet censorship concerning political issues - a serious problem for al.com forum editors,  has once again grown out of control on the Al.com Scottsboro Forum ( http://www.al.com/forums/scottsboro/index.ssf?initial=true ). All postings on the Al.com Scottsboro Forum relating to Scottsboro and political issues have been removed - except todays questioning, what has happened to Scootsboro issues? Any discussion about Scottsboro was removed,  remaining - a majority of postings bashing President Obama.

This used to be a problem a few years back. It was the reason this blog was formed in 2007.  Currently the "Al.com" Scottsboro forum has an infestation of racist, right wing extremist posters. I have removed the forum link from this blog's forum listings in the right hand column. "Al.com" has always been susceptible to political censorship. Currently there is an attempt to control the forum by the right wing extremists of the Republican Party. Previous control attempts were made by the Democrat Party extremists. Seems neither can stand the truth and "Al.com" forum editors allow themselves to be controlled like political puppets.

It becomes obvious the management of Al.com cares naught about responsible speech, or editorial standards on a so called "open forum." Al.com's actions support political censorship and right-wing extremism. When I complained about threats, racist comments, cursed out and slandered on the forum, the forum editorial management removed the offending postings, but also removed all my postings while allowing the offenders postings, mostly bashing our current President, to remain. Velcum to zee neu Republikan socialist repression.

CAN POLITICAL CENSORSHIP BE PURCHASED? 

Al.com's parent organization is Advance Internet,  part of Advance Publications. The largest privately owned media organization in the U.S., supporting forum censorship. It is their forum to do as they may, just as it is my right to complain about their lack of sensible editorial practices which have resulted in political censorship.

In past instances of political censorship on Al.com's Scottsboro forum has revolved around political issues of local government entities. Sources tell me this time it involves the county commission race.  Wonder who that would be, wonder who has enough money for such tactics?

Elect no incumbent on the county commission - don't forget this county commission's failed leadership and the story of Little Napoleon.  http://arklite.blogspot.com/search/label/Little%20Napoleon
