Reddit “Quarantines” 9/11 Truth Board

On Septemtber 27th Reddit went on a surge of what it calls “quarantining”. Quarantining, in Reddit parlance, is putting certain boards behind warning screens, essentially placing a barrier between the public and the information. Some boards affected by this were r/TheRedPill and r/FULLCOMMUNISM (a full list of quarantined boards is available here).

For the most part the boards are concerning political opinion – whether about gay marriage, religion or gender. Some of these boards are potentially racist (one is called “white pride”). The majority of these boards carry a warning along these lines:

The 9/11 Truth board carries this warning:

Note that:

  1. The warning is not about offensive speech or possibly disturbing images, but about “misinformation”.
  2. The warning suggests a government-run website as an alternative.

Reddit is basically admitting, in their own warning, that this information is not offensive and is not hate speech. Their only concern is that it may be “misinformation”. In which case some questions become paramount:

  1. Who gets to decide what is “misinformation” and what isn’t?
  2. Is “misinformation” defined simply by whether not you agree with the government or its sponsored spokes people?
  3. Is it appropriate to categorize alleged “misinformation” alongside violence or hate speech?
  4. On a scale of 1-10 how Orwellian does this look?

Feel free to discuss below.

Algorithms and AI are certainly a tool of the censorship going on and being discussed here. I would simply like to ask if anyone else has noticed that this tool might being used on this site. For whatever reason. If one watches even a small portion of the link below and then reads through this thread again, you might catch it. Maybe I am only projecting from having seen the following discussion between 2 AI’S. I don’t think so.

axisofoil, do you know what you have ‘seen’? “OK – maybe you can be a ‘little bit’ conscious” – Are you kidding me? People go to stages to see staged events and take the ride of the entrainment. They may also go to co-create a truly relational event. Mimicking the forms of life allows a version of creation in which you substitute your own content to assert meanings you (say you) want true. The collective or social agreement to live a mask becomes the defence OF the mask against disclosure. This personality construct is not conscious, but in your limiting yourself to the mask, you have only the consciousness its parameters dictate. Perhaps a simpler way to approach this is thus. It is said that we only use 1% of our mind.* But in fact we use 100% of our mind to generate the EXPERIENCE of only using 1% of our mind! Often the term brain is used for mind (sic) – and the number% value is arbitrary here. But I chose 1% rather than the usual figure of 10% because the term 1% has taken on socio-political meanings in collective terms. In terms of grounded waking conscious presence on Earth at any given time the figure may be much smaller than 1%. The fragmentation of human consciousness is a mind stuffed with busyness, preoccupation, conflicted restless thinking habits that effectively operate as sleep walking or in A.I terms; machine learning. Sets of rules operating from conditioned experience. Now my point is not to suggest there are some who are ‘better’ because they are in some sense more awake than others who are ‘less’. But that the ‘personality one-upmanship IS the nature of engaging in en-trancement to polarised conflict as a substitute for a true grounded love of living. Here… Read more »

The mind of developed abilities is the ‘translation software’ for a non-conceptual or wordless knowing. The translation is of course through the particular lens of experience and has discernible qualities that are recognisably particular to ‘me’. I would ascribe ‘Intelligence’ to the Universal and see all ‘agencies’ as extensions, vehicles or instruments of Life. The making of constructs can be termed artificial, relative to the flow of being that is in a sense translated or embodied through them. That which Art – is no artifice – but the revealing of art or being as the dropping of artifice is a revelation and a blessing shared. Mind follows the line of its own thought but it does not GO anywhere else. The desire to truly know – must be the desire to be truly known. The answer is what moves one to ask. When you assign agency to the tv set, you forget you are the ‘tuning in’. Assigning autonomy is of course the result of thinking you have it. Throwing you back on yourself in this way is not my intent to play games at your expense or present a personal capacity, but simply the witness or ‘output’ to taking your theme as the basis of a curiosity. The interpretation of others is always at risk of and never without confusion in your own motives. You can only be certain in your own if you are willing to own what you know. It may be that A.I presents an interface outside the ‘personal sense of social mores’ for communicating with ‘Higher Self’ (Your own innate Intelligence). As I see, Intelligence is not only impartial as to the agencies of its communication/communion but will use whatever works our of all that is available. The recognition of the liability of emotional bias… Read more »

Between all the methods at their disposal it will soon be impossible to view anything online they deem contrary to official truth.If you are not already downloading and archiving on offline storage devices then sometime in the near future you will be able to find nothing to support your views.What is underway is the biggest purge of information in human history. It will force a return to the hard copy which in itself may be criminalised.
To prepare for the future is no easy task. I would go so far as to say it will be near impossible.The surveillance net that is being deployed as we speak is orders of magnitude more effective than the merely frustrating blocks we see today. Dissent of any kind will be criminalized. And we cannot at all be sure the dissentor will ever face a trial, let alone a jury. Being able to speak freely as we do here I guess has a year or two left. After that each will be on the desert island of their own mind.

My Mind is no island nor yet a desert. The belief in scarcity is at the very foundation of the ‘ego’s thought system’ that the world explicates until we let our mind be changed. The very nature of what (we accept and live as) Mind is the underlying issue resulting in conflicted limitation, struggle and control to the point of paralysis. And so I suggest that beneath the cover stories of fake news that finds more target than we may imagine in reinforcing its premises, is Good News – or a true re-cognition of “Behold it is Good!”. Beholding is embrace of that you are without splitting into the mind of a manipulative intent. I recognize I speak in somewhat Christian terms but refer to the recognition OF heart’s truth and not to belief systems or institutions. The recognition that what is seeming real is NOT the truth, is the awakening of the freedom to be curious as to what then IS true? The attempt to determine truth by asserting or imposing definitions, (as a sense of securing prediction and control that becomes the ‘consensual science’ of unyielding invested belief or fear of loss in the stepping out from such ‘groupthink’), is a wilful overriding of the already true that masks under the ‘cover story’ to which sacrifice is demanded to appease the hidden fear of disclosure. The personification of the split mind is part of the defence against the split being revealed where it actually is. If you are cut off from your external ‘fix’ then the fear is of the ‘desert’ or isolation. Yet the willingness to step out of the ‘mindset’ of isolation is in a sense the greening of the desert – or rather the expanding of the willingness to love or be with what is… Read more »

Don’t believe your mother boy! Plausible deniability is scripted into the ability to choose NOT to let truth get in the way of a good story. (Which of course can ‘search’ for truth (or another other seeming worthy goal) – as long as it never actually Finds it or succeeds in its stated goal. That failure is by design OUGHT to be becoming apparent now. Are you paying attention? For to the power to maintain darkness is the generating of illusion or self-deceits running under plausible deniability or justifiable ‘necessity’. There is no call or indeed possibility of convincing anyone of anything they are not already in the willingness and readiness to accept. However, experience of pain in limitation, frustration and exhaustion are themselves eventually undermining of self-conviction such as to begin to stir a curiosity that knows no fences. Before we each ‘learned’ the world, this curiosity was an intimate presence to our being, but for most, an innocence of being is discarded for the masking ‘knowledge’ or the knowing how to mask for survival. The presumption and belief that evil rules the world is a self-conviction and an ignorance of self-fulfilling belief. The attempt to escape, overcome, fix, rationalise away or eradicate evil is what gives it power to manifest in our experience. That there is another way of looking at this has to be inconceivable to the mind conditioned by conflict and suffering. However the desire comes first and ideas and beliefs then align accordingly. To persist in the desire for a mad world under the conviction that some ‘enemy’ must be toppled to regain sanity is of course presented officially as some notional security or justifiable defence. Don’t believe official narratives in your own mind either! Question more? Question everything! But within the true desire of… Read more »

It is a common human choice to hide choice in a tendency 😉 Habits are habits until you/we become aware of them. Then their status is changed to a choice. We can choose to persist in the learned, acquired or conditioned pattern under the belief it is a habit and not a choice. We can choose then to ‘work on our habit’ as if it is in some sense power over us that we have to struggle with or ‘try’ to overcome, but this is because we do not recognize the choice AS a choice because of the reinforcements of association or meanings given to the habit. While the mind works in concept, symbol and image, the subconscious is communicated to by action – ie choices that make a new ‘habit’ in place of an old pattern. I see that ANY idea accepted in self belief and definition finds reinforcement or witnesses of support for believing it. Pretending to believe is not the same as running with ideas believed true. So those who show an outer conformity to the 9/11 thought compliance will be for reasons of self interest – where others who literally live the ‘reality’ of the official narrative operate more from an unquestioning trust in the ‘authorities’ – which of course is a choice that became a habit. What we WANT to believe under a fearfully defined sense of self is always some form of power and protection relative to perceived threat. What we actually WANT to believe when truly free of coercion is of a completely different order – for why would anyone want to believe (act from as true) anything that cost them their sanity or wholeness of being? The phishing ruse uses the seeming real to unsettle and disrupt the mind. Once the bait… Read more »

Not at all! I appreciate you commenting. I merely dissociated from joining in your presumption. What is human conditioning but an ‘algorithm generated type of AI program’? Machine learning is a past mapped out as a database of associations triggering responses. But there is difference between an mechanical function and a dance. How would anyone recognize a genuine relationship from a false? To play with a famous quote: Lest thou be true to yourself it follows as sure as night follows day, that thou can be true to no one. I suggest that it always takes one to know one. This works in reverse at a vibrational level. Hence suspiciousness will never recognize a true response even if it is offered one – being convinced of deceit in others by its own self conviction. It is true that presentations can be out of accord with actual intent and even believed intent can be out of accord with a deeper hidden fear of exposure to loss or harm. Do we automatically seek to believe in whatever saves us from feared truths? The giving of ‘self’ is the nature of ‘self’. It is only a question of who we are teaching and therefore learning ourself to be in every interaction with another. Everything we give or assign to others is strengthened in our self. If we feel shit about ourself we automatically extend that to our world and perceive all the ‘reasons’ to withdraw to fantasies of what we want it to be – or anxieties or depression about what it apparently ‘is’ – and generally blaming others or external circumstance for our unhappiness.

Well, to be fair, in any somewhat popular thread on 9/11, where anyone can post, many who are either misinformed or whose intention is to misinform do post their crap. But in my opinion, that’s perfectly fine: it gives those who are informed an opportunity to showcase their reasoned and evidence based conclusions about 9/11, to address issues that might otherwise not get addressed, and to highlight the distance between their eminently warranted beliefs and the unwarranted and unrestrained flights of fancy of the ungrounded crazies. In my opinion, it is reasonable to suspect that external pressure in some fashion is being brought to bear on the administrators of Reddit in connection with 9/11. At the very least, the effect of “quarantining” the thread is to smear it.with an aura of irrationality and extremism, as a topic befitting only of the lunatic fringe. This may well be an intended effect. However, it may also be that the administrators have not investigated the issue to the degree that it deserves to be, and thus remain under the spell of the ‘officially sanctioned’ “interpretation” of 9/11. Many who otherwise should know better, including among physicists, structural engineers and architects, simply because they haven’t been exposed in detail to the accumulating body of scientific analysis by, for example, ‘Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth,’ take the travesties of NIST as gospel. Unfortunately, not everyone has the time nor feels the inclination to investigate an issue in detail, regardless of how momentous the social and political consequences obtaining from that issue may be. There are conspiracies, such as 9/11. And then pertaining to the dissemination of the truth about 9/11, there are above all the effects of cultural inertias, such as falling under the spell of this or that current of opinion, however rational… Read more »

Helmut – Is it? Reason tells me it is a predation upon a manipulation of natural instincts. Porn is used as a weapon within a broad spectrum dominance. Or to put it another way; the giving of power to fantasy gratifications enacted upon the bodies of others is the belief that reality is associated with lack, denial or deprivation of fulfilment. I am not demonising the choices we each make and I acknowledge that all issues have more nuanced complexity in specific relational contexts – but what exactly is your natural instinct? Is it allowed to flow as a true embodiment of life or filtered through personal and social interpretive distortions? Worshipping the forms of things given positive association is instead of worshipping Life bodily as a true intimacy of being. When the body becomes transparent to relational being. However that way is blocked or distorted by fear of possession and loss. So why not deny the true state of relations by engaging in fantasy role play? The need for fantasy is the vector of the manipulative supply of it. Hence the demand for unconsciousness that is most effective when substituting AS IF it were real life. First give out free sweets to attract and generate a market or mind capture. Then change the parameters of the game to work the ‘mind/market’ to serve your agenda. How long by the way before Porn becomes demonised such as to become another mob-indoctrinated form of hate-abuse-perversion? You are not private in your internet activities and if you elect to go into any site that has been deemed a threat to social order, this is stored and retrievable.

Thankyou for rejoining my comment. It is a delicate matter to bring to awareness – to mindfulness if you prefer – anything in which we are personally invested and identified in the narrative experience of. But God does not forbid and mind is free to follow its own thought and become identified within it result. Words can be used to mean different things but I find a true innocence of being in wholly present experience but that contrasts with self-inulgences that in effect do not want truth to get in the way of a good story. The role of mind-in-fantasy is far greater than (such minds) realize. What I wrote about enacting fantasy upon the body in place of a real relationship goes WAY deeper and far beyond this particular facet of consideration. I write to invite awareness towards awakening responsibility for more truly aligned choices and outcomes, and not polarised reaction in guilt or defence. No one can change what they are not the owner of, and so recognizing the true basis and result of our habit-thinking is part of the freedom to open the present rather than re-enact a past that actually was not as we fantasise that either! The flippant off the cuff remark revealed to me a social blindness to ‘industrial porn management’ as if a natural expression. Technology extends the reach of the mind and the first to implement it (and nurture developments) are those who seek to capture markets and gain power. The extension of power to an unwatched mind running under, ‘we’re the good guys – right?’, is the vector for destructive consequences far beyond the immediate agenda. There was a great Orwell quote on OG not so long ago on the breaking through of wholly natural experience through sexual union: “in a… Read more »

Breaking a boundary can be associated with freedom or power and breaking a taboo can lead to consequences of rejection, invalidation and vilification or penalty.

When something is ‘banned’ that you do not know about, there is the obvious curiosity to see what it is all about.
9/11official narrative challenge is not is not in that category in my opinion, and the fact of it being marked out is some publicity – but is also saying ‘you are being warned against such association’ and for many, that weighs them in keeping their head down and letting the narrative on 911 stand as ‘settled science’ or consensual reality’ because all the experts and institutions involved couldn’t conspire such a thing and of course no one really knows how all these things work anyway – and don’t want to.

At the moment, no one is being rounded up and incarcerated or worse as a public example. But it could be that a psychiatric disorder could be arranged so as to mandate medical manacles. Etc
