Confronted with discontent over her Censorship, her clear and apparent hypocrisy, and an insurgency among the more spirited Postership of Liberty Post Goldi-Lox went into severe psychodrama and conducted a Jim Robinson style purge of LP Posters who were not remaining silent in the face of her clearly hypocritical and blatant attempt to silence discussion of Ron Paul by a censorial fiat forbidding the posting of articles about Ron Paul by any of Ron Paul's numerous supporters on Liberty Post. This was done also to eliminate Ron Paul from the public view of lurkers and visitors to Liberty Post. The Jim Robinson style of the “night of the long knives” has struck deep by eliminating some of Liberty Post's best posters of long standing. I think we can safely rename Liberty Post as “Israel First” Post and know that the loyalty of the Site Administrator is NOT first to the United States and most assuredly not Liberty. Confronted by a group of liberty minded posters calling her to account for her high handed CENSORSHIP she chose the avenue which I expected and instituted a Fraud Republic style purge of anyone who was not acquiescing silently to her censorship and pointing out the arrant hypocrisy of her actions.
While she is trying to fob this off as “necessary” for the health of the site and bandwidth usage what it actually is, is nothing more than a purge of those who not remain silent let her freely engage in Censorship contrary to the alleged rationale for Liberty Post's existence. Those who raised their voice to point out the hypocrisy and even offer compromise solutions were eliminated in one fell swoop.
Following is her Public Relations attempt to justify her silencing of dissenting views. My juxtaposed comments are in blue.
I've given you some time to settle down. Most of you have. Those few of you who have NOT will find that posting PRIVILEGES on LP have been revoked.
Translation: Those of you who would not roll over kiss my ass and remain silent in the face of obvious Stalinesque censorship have been summarily booted for no offense greater than pointing out that I am a flaming hypocrite.
It's a shame that those people felt it was more important to create disruption than to try to adhere to some new rules in order to get control of an unwieldy situation. It's impacting the site performance, bandwidth, and our costs. It was my obligation and duty to FIX the situation.
Translation: It's a shame that you people would not shut up and forced me to falsely assert you were a disruption thus forcing me take another obvious hypocritical action on top of my previous hypocritical action. I hope that all the suckers will believe my rationale that this is affecting site performance – despite the fact that the people posting are posting no more than they normally do if not less – since most of their posting is on this one thread. So, I took the necessary action to shut up those who had the flaming gall to point out that I am flaming hypocrite. I am hoping that this action will save what little credibility I have left and silence any further dissent by metaphorically chopping off the heads of those were pointing out and underscoring my dishonesty and hypocrisy.
Since I did not say Ron Paul could not be discussed, I have not removed commentary about him. I would not do that. That would be censorship. However, if you RE READ my original post on this tread, I only banned THREADS. Because too many were balling up the sidebars, and we were losing the news content.
Translation: I hope you remaining sheep will gladly toe the line and not bring up any uncomfortable references to my hypocritical actions and betrayal of all the standards of open discussion that I falsely proclaim as my standard. Also I hope that you morons will believe that by allowing you to continue to talk out of public view about Ron Paul that it really isn't censorship.
There were a lot of complaints. And the point is to make everyone or almost everyone satisfied. The Ron Paul threads had become a disruption.
Translation: Since Ron Paul refuses to suck up to the Israel Lobby and will not put Israel first I want to do what little I can to hamper discussion and the possibility that he might gain sufficient widespread popularity to threaten Israel's Welfare Check and it's ability to commit genocide at will.
This is first and foremost a NEWS DISCUSSION FORUM.
Translation: First and foremost what I say is news is news and what I don't like isn't news and I don't like Ron Paul because he is not beholden to the Israel Lobby.
It's not a cheerleading site for anyone. And no advertising is permitted.
Translation: I will not allow enthusiasm to be expressed for any candidate that does not do what the Israel Lobby tells them to do. Considerations of Liberty and Decency are totally secondary and subordinated to whatever Israel wants and to hell with liberty or the United States.
Today, I have pulled several articles - some of them contained ads.
Translation: This is a “fig leaf” comment to cover up the fact that I just purged all of the posters who were calmly and politely pointing out that I am a flaming hypocrite.
Posting of ANY future ads will cause the poster to be banned. I've stated that often. I'm just reminding you. This is nothing new.
Translation: Additional gratuitous commentary to try to cover over the fact that I am silencing anyone who dares to point out that I am violating my own alleged standards and am a traitor to the United States.
Have a good discussion...and that includes Ron Paul. But NO threads please.
Translation: Anyone who dares to post something not in keeping with my hypocritical standards based upon a hidden agenda, Israel First, will be silenced.
I don't want to have to ban anyone else.
Translation: This is a warning you cretins do not dare to try to hold me accountable to my own professed standards. I do not want to hear anything else about that damned Ron Paul or his damned non-interventionist America Centric American Foreign Policy. It's Israel First! Get It!
==== Note: I realize that every time I make one of these decisions, some of you will find it intolerable, and leave. I would like you to stay...but you have to follow your heart, and if one forum doesn't fit you, perhaps another one will. I will only wish you good luck in your cyber travels, and maybe you'll pass this way again.
Translation: I realize some of you are intelligent enough to know that I am lying through my teeth and am a flaming hypocrite who just silenced a big embarassment by banning everyone who would not let the matter of high handed censorship rest. I don't really want you real Conservatives and Libertarians to stay because sooner or later you are going to oppose the primary purpose of this forum which is CONTROLLED Opposition. Nevertheless, I don't want my site to drop to a ranking below ten million overnight so some of you can stay as long as you don't really expect me to live up to the standards I claim.
