ISPs in AU and NZ start censoring the internet without legal precedent

Private internet access ^

Several websites including Voat, ZeroHedge, Archive.is, LiveLeak, and others have been blocked in Australia and New Zealand in direct contravention to civil liberties that citizens are supposed to have. The biggest of these internet providers, Telstra, has published a blog post defending their censorship action – even acknowledging that free speech has been sacrificed by company decision:

If you hear anyone arguing that the censorship is justified, send them this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/jan/06/terrorism.comment

[I want the USA back]

White anglo countries are the first to implement Discreet Control of Speech. Those countries pride themselves on being perfect democracies that respect human rights.

Social media and search engines are already enforcing fascistic control of thought in the USA, with the government standing by and watching, and doing nothing about it.

It’s happening now. We are losing what was left of “freedom of speech.” It’s gradual. The media doesn’t let on what’s happening - in fact, the media applauds it. I expect it to be complete 6 months before the presidential election in 2020.

This is the beginnings of the Globalists and One-worlders ... devising and improving their mechanisms for censoring everything not approved by officials.

It’s time for us to start honing our skills for how to get around that. Do that now. Try to find copies of the video and the manifesto (the manifesto is not as difficult to find) and downloading them ... just to see if your skills are currently good.

Wonder if this would fly here in the US? Could ISP’s do the same thing because they are private companies and not government entities governed under the 1st amendment free speech protections. Or would the fact they are under federal telecommunication rules like radio and TV stations prevent them from censoring content?

Government knows best...

Nothing says Slaughter our Citizens better than Censoring Bad News so they can’t prepare.

I’m over on 4chan right now and they are pizzed. The ISPs even blocked Zero Hedge.

Not all of them are English speaking countries who implemented this kind of control first. And many are following the lead of Red China, which is of course non-white and non-“anglo”. In addition, don’t forget that New Zealand’s current PM, Jacinda Ardern, is a hardcore socialist who once was president of the International Union of Socialist Youth just a decade ago.

As Woodrow Wilson said, “socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same.” That’s why he backed the 16^th and 17^th Amendments, in order to turn the USA away from being a republic. Also, The Principles of Communism said that the revolution “will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct and indirect dominance of the proletariat”. One has to look into the past to see who the supporters of democracy were and how they saw democracy.

ISPs own the fiber and the switch gear, but none of them own all of the fiber and all of the switch gear that make up the “internet”. This fact I think, has given people an illusion that everything would be available always on the internet.

ISPs can deliver content, or not, at their own discretion.

One election away from happening here.

I would block any site that posts the video.
