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… 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,… Read more »

In the electronic age, ignorance is a choice. Reddit is a subsidiary of Condé Nast’s parent company, Advance Publications, a privately held Jewish-American media company owned by the descendants of S.I. Newhouse Sr., Donald Newhouse and S.I. Newhouse Jr. They have a financial, political, and Zionist interests in promoting and defending the US Government’s official 9/11 conspiracy theory of “19 bad guys with box cutters”.

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.

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… 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… 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… 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… Read more »

Give it a couple of years and it will be virtually impossible for the “inexperienced” web surfing citizen to stumble across any content that the Cabal considers subversive.
Censorship is lurking everywhere. Take MacOSX High Sierra for instance.

If you regularly visit bookmarked mainstream sites such as BBC , Independent , Guardian , Ebay , Amazon etc. those sites will be showcased as “frequently visited” by OSX in your bookmarks index.

If , however you regularly visit bookmarked sites such as Sputnik , RT , OffGuardian , Craig Murray , Southfront , Jonathon Cook etc. these sites will NEVER be showcased by OSX no matter how many times you visit these sites per day. Visit them each 25 times a day and they will NOT get highlighted as “frequently visited” by OSX .

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.… Read more »

So der Deutschers gotta keep bowed low for their sins. But, to be fair, the Bish. doesn’t say that the jews were not sorely maltreated; he only says none were gassed! And does that amount to a denial of evil perpetrated? The German judicial system does, though. They found him guilty, gave him a 10,000 Euro fine; he put in an appeal and the case rests. Wonder why?

This approach may backfire. It’s a common phenomenon for taboo or banned stuff to attract a huge audience. As one example, this matter of declaring something taboo is not only the driving force behind the entire porn industry but the reason for that industry’s existence in the first place.

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… Read more »

Hello Binra – nice of you to comment on my “off the cuff” (and flippant?) comment on porn. I had a sort of harmless, “soft porn – fantasy” in mind when suggesting that it is a natural state….sex as pure experience, indulgence….but not in any way perverted…or “questionable”……practises…..God forbid!

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… 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… Read more »
