FA Day two: Withdrawal continues

Day two. No Face Book for two whole days. Handling it rather well. Unfortunately no one else in the group FA (FaceBookies Anonymosity).

The entire compulsion is to write snappy comments. Tweeter sucks. It only allows a maximum 140 characters. What's with that. The brown streak on a run of toilet paper stretches longer than that.

Ol Buddy. He, from the looks of it the only one I got left out of the whole schmozilane sequence of events. Old Buddy relayed by email that yes indeed that CNN had said that FaceBook was selecting those who supported Omar Khadr furiously got turfed from the service.

The excuse was that by supporting Khadr I supported terrorism. Nothing of the kind. I supported strongly the idea that he was shot in the back, imprisoned wrongly because according to the United Nations that poor guy, another Canadian citizen, was at the time a Child Soldier.

Some guy from Detroit, with a fake identity decided to counteract that statement by calling me a moron. So first I told him that it was an internal Canadian issue and Americans weren't welcome and that he was a racist goof.

I was going by his profile picture where he conveyed an image of being a Christian Crusader. Crusaders being positively anti-Islamic. Its very hypocritical to promote the suppression of antisemitism which I encourage, and on the other hand be anti-Islamic. I worked for employers from both cultures and both were okay to work for. Except one. He wanted someone to marry his daughter. There were three of us and the boss kept the one who tried to date his daughter. Really strange.

The reality is so distant from the libelous myths that one group says about another. And the fundamentalist Christians chime in about how ruthless Islam is. They tend. No. Christians forget the brutal regimes of the Inquisition, the suppression of the Cathars, and the massacre of the Templars. There was only one St. Francis of Assisi.

If Khadr was from a well off old world British family Canada and its leadership would fall over themselves to give the poor kid another chance. But his skin is brown, his dad was a jihadist, and he was pressed into Al Qaeda as a child soldier. Regardless, if true I believe that FaceBook is working for the American Government in its campaign to make this one young man the poster boy for all the American problems.

Anyhow, the administrators ignored the fact that the commentator simply called me a moron. Instead I believe, because I was an advocate for the civil rights that Khadr was entitled to, the rights every Canadian citizen is entitled to, some racist prick working for FaceBook in Palo Alto decided to block access to FaceBook and closed my account.

FaceBook dislikes free speech as much as any other bunch of racist hypocrites.

Hooray.

Facebook: the World 'Cordin' to Zuck the F'ck

Four years ago, I almost got knocked off FaceBook. This morning the same thing happened. Some obscure Palo Alto cyber gnome sent me an alert to say that a comment had been deleted. The problem was that I didn't know exactly which.

One sore point was where some Yankee from Detroit weighed in on Khadr. The guys avatar painted him a Christian Crusader. His retort was to simply call me a moron. Okay, but substantiate it.

Here's what I found in all the attacks on Omar Khadr's release. First, without exception they are ignorant people, usually Conservatives or American Republicans and their entire comments involve name calling and catch phrases. Face facts, Americans are a racist culture, white and black inclusive. However they want to apply their racism north of the border and will block off any view that seems effectively anti-American. FaceBook after all serves the USA globally and that's the working reality.

He just called names. I looked at his FaceBook page. One I told him that the Omar Khadr affair was an internal Canadian affair, then I checked his FaceBook Page which carried the Crusader or an anti-islamic shield, I then called him a racist goof. Well perhaps the FaceBook adjudicator, another American racist residing in Palo Alto California, decided to ban or in their lovely phrase "Deactivate your Account." Which they did.


But FaceBook censorship is the biggest bully of all. It deletes or criticizes comments according to charges from someone or anyone with no ample effort to request a defense from the accused. For one thing I don't know if I am out of line. Without referring to the actual comment, its hard to define whether a person exceeded some limit. Americans take offence very easily. Its a very low bar.

However their bar allowing comments against Islamic people, or anyone with Liberal affiliation seems very high. Conservatives can call people names and make racist comments without fear on FaceBook. About three years ago I complained about a Conservative American making a racist comment on a topic that was definitely not according to the Conservative world that Zuckerboy is trying to instill but the only reply was that this wasn't racist, nor offensive. It was a really bad judgement.

But here is the second problem, I am not sure. Here's why. About six months before the last federal election, a couple hundred of Conservative volunteers and sometimes paid cyber operatives activate phony FaceBook accounts and begin trashing anything that isn't Conservative. The last time I ran afoul of the Facebook censor, in fact everytime, was when I took after those phony critics.  With practice, over the years I've got quite good at coming back at their blatant lies and slanderous nicknames. For every Lieberals they puked up, I countered with a Con-Troll. Yes I invented that nickname.

Here is the problem, Liberal thinking peoples don't gang up like the Conservative bullies do. Over time they have learned to gang up on other posters that defend their positions opposite of their conservative views. If a person proves effective they gang up to complain about that person and have them banned despite the fact that most of their identities are phony. FaceBook never cancels those phony accounts. Any Liberal accounts they ban or deactivate without a second thought.

So going into the next election remember one thing... FaceBook permits Con-Trolls not their liberal critics. Anything that goes through FaceBook should be considered with a severe conservative bias.

That is the problem, FaceBook doesn't quite tell you. Its a feudal empire with Zuck the F'ck as emperor. Any judgement they render is always done by secret deliberation. So you can't tell whether one went over a line or this is just another political gambit by the Conservative Party cyber hitmen secreted over the internet.
