Infowars reports:
The following is a list of Facebook accounts operated by individuals in the alternative media that have been shut down by Facebook staff over the past 24 hours. Infowars writer Aaron Dykes and political dissident Brandon J. Raub have also had their accounts deleted. Raub was snatched by police and forcibly imprisoned in a psychiatric ward earlier this year for posting political content on Facebook. Infowars editor Kurt Nimmo also had his account suspended this morning.

UPDATE:
Here's what Michael Rivero at WhatReallyHappened.com has posted:
ATTENTION: Facebook has blocked my account. I get a message "For security reasons your account is temporarily locked" and a button to verify I am the owner. When I press that button I get a scrambled number to enter in a text box, which then leads to a page that says "No verification methods are currently available. Please come back later."
Was it something I said? :)
I never received any message from Facebook that I was in violation of their rules and policies. My account has simply been shut down without warning, supposedly for "Security", while the mechanism to restore my account is unavailable.
Please spread the word among your Facebook friends, and please share any articles of interest you find here on your Facebook accounts, as I am apparently being censored.
UPDATE: The message "No verification methods are currently available" has gone away and now I am presented with a challenge to prove who I am. I am asked to identify the people in these pictures.

Obviously, in these images, recognition is impossible. and I do not recognize the names. They may be Facebook followers but I have a lot of Facebook followers, and given that I cannot access my Facebook account, I can't check to see if those names are on my list of followers, let alone do comparisons with their own Facebook pages. This is either extreme stupidity on the part of whoever designed this Facebook verification system, or it is a covert form of harassment and censorship. Again, I have received no message from Facebook itself regarding what the "security" problem might be.UPDATE 2: According to a member post below, Facebook accounts for truth bloggers are being shut down by Facebook. These include...

Sean Wright and Katherine Albrect are gone as wellIn the days before 9-11, the FBI went around the nation shutting down the websites of Muslim charities, so that no opposing voice could be heard to challenge the "Muslims did it" propaganda. Looks like a repeat, which may herald a major false-flag event in the immediate future.
Amazing, Sad, but not surpirsing...
ReplyDeleteGood. Facebook is a waste of time, but I'm glad they'll give Alex Jones legitimacy.
ReplyDeleteJones's message is getting out to a lot of people (most just mock him at this point), but I imagine this will lend plenty of credibility to what he's saying.
"Facebook is a waste of time"
DeleteI hate comments like this. They are right up their with people saying gaming is a waste of time. It may be a waste of time to YOU, but you are not the authority on how other people use their time.
i agree ..... these are going to be operatives in info.war and FB is only one letter away from FBI yet they link and continue to link to that
Delete@ Richie
DeleteDid he say he is speaking for you or others? Did he propose a method on how to force other people to spend their time differently? He obviously just gave his own opinion.
I think Facebook is a waste of time too. Especially if it is being run by thought police for the state. Deal with it.
Its a big psyop to give these shills legitimacy
Deleteyou're absolutely right.
DeleteFacebook obviously gets to control everything in their domain so you're basically giving them full control of any content you put on "your" facebook page.
ReplyDeleteYet another reason to avoid Facebook and control your own destiny via your own owned website...any third party ownership/involvment in your content is a bad, bad thing.
Not only that, but it's obvious the Feds have been working with all the major players...Facebook, Yahoo, Google, etc. to gain access to "people of interest" when information is wanted on them.
I never cared for any of the social media bullcrap. The whole thing is too easily monitored and controlled by the state and presupposes an interest in the minutiae of other people's lives which I just don't have. I couldn't care less about Facebook or where somebody I haven't seen for 10 years ate lunch today. But this is worrisome (if it's legit) because I'm sure it's a harbinger of more to come.
ReplyDeleteScary. The more I read about Fbook and the founding the more obvious is becomes that the NSA and CIA were heavily involved in the creation. That's why "The Social Network" is so obviously propaganda, and at odds with the reality of the founding. Just like with "Zero Dark Thirty" the movies are becoming more about spreading the elite memes in an entertaining way then creating art.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they were all hacked and now have to try to reclaim their accounts. It is frustrating to do but manageable. I would not blame Facebook for or accuse them of censoring them.
ReplyDeleteThey obviously were targeted by hackers. I am shocked these guys can't recognize this.
this is normal for facebook to do to an account that has been breached.
Don't use Facebook. Definitely won't start using it now.
ReplyDeleteJones is a limited hangout. He's best avoided and is no great loss.
ReplyDeleteRivero, Peter Dale Scott, Rodriguez and Rudkowski? Plain ol' censorship. Politbook in action.
Just like the media and our college campuses. Fuck these leftists.

Wow! Glad I rarely use FB, the ultimate data mining, snooping social network. At least Google owned YouTube did not shut down Jone's channel, but one wonders when they follow suit, along with the likes of Twitter, others?
ReplyDeleteSo much for free speech in America, more road kill!
While I do think this is unfortunate, I do think Facebook has the prerogative to monitor its eco-system and its own servers. But, if facebook is doing this selective filtering at the behest of the State, that is another thing altogether.
ReplyDeleteI do hope people protect their own content and self-host their content on their own blog/site or whatever and do not rely on Facebook or Twitter to be the primary place the syndicate their material. It is worth the investment.
I feel like not enough people are familiar w/ Bob Bowman (one of the names who had their FB account inactivated). He should be one of the most (if not the most) prominent "9/11 Truther" out there. He's a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the US Air Force. He holds a Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering from the California Institute of Technology. He was IN CHARGE OF the "Star Wars" program (to shoot down - from outer space - nuclear missiles shot by our enemies) under presidents Carter and Ford. Check out the video below.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Mr Wenzel, I would think Dr. Bowman would be a great guest for your show.

http://www.naturalnews.com/038484_Gandhi_quote_Facebook_censorship.html
ReplyDeleteFacebook is apparently upset at the Gandhi quote about the worst crime the British committed against the Indians was disarming them. Natural News had its page suspended after posting that quote.
Because Facebook (and most social sites from the US) aims to appeal to the masses, the American mainstream, aims not to ruffle feathers of both the left and right, to keep global sensibilities in mind, they are keen to censor.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, it really is not one particular thing with them at all. It's EVERYTHING.
Zerohedge already posted this censorship-list leak a while back from: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/02/22/low-wage-facebook-contractor-leaks-secret-censorship-list/
This happens all the time, silently. It just comes to light in some circles because they happen to be affected. But it's wrong to assume they have a specific political agenda. Here's something you've probably never heard of at the OPPOSITE end of the spectrum:
http://cbldf.org/2012/06/facebook-removes-israeli-artists-cartoons/
Facebook Removes Israeli Artist’s Cartoons
Again, this happens constantly, with temporary suspension for "hate speech", and some items permanently removed (those with nudity).
You can of course, host your own site, although you are still at the behest of service providers, and the blogging services like Blogger and Wordpress are significantly more tolerant than Facebook. But I am not aware of any social networking site that has the guts to really allow free expression for all of its members. I personally think this is a niche that is waiting to be filled. One can have curation groups and content tags for personalized filtering, without actually banning people or having a centralized, one-size-fits-all censoring policy.
Many have suggested a link between Facebook and the CIA/NSA. Any truth to this?
ReplyDeleteNice Psyop trolls
ReplyDeleteTrying to build up cred since it's been shattered ever since Jones was caught with his pants down on Stratfor
Thats exactly what this is, these accounts are being closed because people are figuring out that the "Truthers" are really paid shills , spreading Dis-Info, Alex Jones being the "Ring leader" people need to stop listening to this guy, he has direct connections to the CIA and has Employees that were ex Stratfor Employees, which we all know Strafor is a corporation set up by and used for the CIA, Be careful who you are getting your news from. They are not telling you the truth as to what is to come
DeleteJONES HIRED STATFOR/CIA AGENT !!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNO ONE BELIEVES YOU LOSERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALEX JONES HIRED A STATFOR/CIA AGENT
ReplyDeleteHER NAME IS Molly Maroney !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU SHILLS ANYMORE !!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU GUYS ARE LOSERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had something similar happen to me. I am a nobody activist that tends to piss off shills here and there (over the years). One day, I couldn't log into facebook. Next the email linked to facebook gave me basically the same message: wrong password.
ReplyDeleteWeeks later I got back into my FB account using the very same password that wouldn't work before. Same with my email. (Gmail). <I have access to other computers and internet connections = got the same: wrong password. Both at Gmail and FB.
I wrote both companies, never heard a word back.
Just like that...
