How U.S. Spy Ops Censor Web Political Speech

• A co-opted and compliant mainstream media sacrifices its constitutional rights along with the rights of its consumers by refusing to investigate credible reports of Big Brother media censorship.


GET POLITICAL w/ VIC LIVINGSTON



When this journalist attempts to post comments to New York Times internet articles, an elaborate electronic charade often makes it appear that my political opinion gets posted on the paper's web site -- when, in fact, the comment appears only on a "spoofed page" inserted into my data stream by surveillance operatives doubling as government censors.

How do I know this?  Because the M.O. of this unconstitutional apparatus is obvious and transparent.  Here's how it works:

When I hit the "submit comment" button on a New York Times web article, my comment is reproduced on my computer screen with the message that the comments section is moderated, and that comments are "generally posted" unless they are off-topic and abusive in nature.  So far, so good.

A minute or so later, when I refresh the page, my comment appears at the top of the queue, even if I click on the "oldest" comment option.  When I click on "newest," my comment still appears at the top of the queue -- even though other comments listed below are time-stamped as having been posted after the time of my posting.

The data listed in the browser task bar seems to betray the apparent chicanery of government censors.  When I hit the "refresh" button, the task bar indicates that data is being received from "graphics8.nytimes.com."  It appears that this URL has been expropriated by surveillance operatives to generate a "spoofed," or faked -- counterfeit -- page, custom-inserted into my data stream by way of real-time remote computing software.  

In effect, my computer is being hijacked in real-time;  my comment may have never reached The New York Times' computers; instead, it appears that my political speech often is censored, or subject to "prior restraint" (also unconstitutional, according to the U.S. Supreme Court), by way of "spoofed page" web technology.

Another blatant, tell-tale sign:  My comment, as displayed on my computer, lacks the "recommend" button that is incorporated into every other posted comment.

I attempted to convert the suspect page containing my  "spoofed" comment into a photo file so I could post the graphic as "evidence" to accompany this article -- but the file functions on my computer suddenly and mysteriously "grayed out," preventing me from calling up the saved page.  

This malicious tampering with my computer functions has happened to me many times each day for nearly six years -- since I first realized that I have been unjustly targeted by a covert multi-agency program of extrajudicial persecution.

http://NowPublic.com/scrivener

When this censorship scenario happened last week, I received an on-screen message, ostensibly from The Times' web site, saying that comments were no longer being accepted.  The comment count on the page stood at 263.  I returned to the web page the next day to see if my comment showed up,  I scanned every comment posted;  I could not find mine.  There were more than 300 comments posted to that article; the on-screen message indicating that the comments section had been closed was a lie.

All of this obvious, malicious, falsified manipulation makes me wonder why the autocrats who devised this protocol even go to the trouble to try to camouflage their flagrant abuse of power and constitutional rights.

A co-opted, compliant and lazy mainstream media has never bothered to seriously investigate credible claims that the U.S. government is censoring the telecommunications of American citizens -- under the pretext of warrantless surveillance conducted in the name of national security.  That is ironic, given that mainstream media is the target of this censorship -- a violation of the constitutional rights of media owners and media consumers alike.

Under-the-radar media censorship in the United States should be exposed by the mainstream media, decried as national scandal.  The media, the Obama administration, and Congress  must wake up and realize that their naivete has enabled a draconian age of Big Brotherism -- making a mockery of the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.

The hacks against me as a victim of these "government programs" are the *classics* of internet exploits.

Spoofed websites (you say pages) are easy for anyone *legally*? riding your connection. You are simply redirected through their server that holds the spoofed website. You see what appears to be the current actual site and *they* either respond, observe and/or send your communications to the real website or not.

This, in reality, is a "man-in the middle" attack.

It's a real "no-brainer' for any computer geek to grasp and most of the computer generation are aware of the fact of spoofing.

The criminal spoofing of banking websites to acquire login information is proof enough of spoofing.

I believe that is exactly what's going on.  Your "man in the middle" analogy explains it much more clearly than I did.

But here's the $64,000 question:  Why do they let anything go through that's controversial or contrary to the "program"?

The answer, I believe, is what gives me the will to carry on.

The fascists within try to censor me at every turn.  They still try to get away with the "held for blog owner" canard.  Blatant government censorship.

But there are good people on the inside.  I believe agents representing several agencies are sitting somewhere in a command center, most likely, the fusion center in Newtown, PA known as MAGLOCEN.  And some agency that's part of this apparatus has had enough of this American fascism and their top command is putting asses on the line for democracy and the rule of law.

That's my theory.  You might say it's my religion now.  I believe in them.  And I think they are going to prevail.

Why else would I still be up and running despite having to go through an obviously spoofed site?  There is no other explanation.

I only hope the good people on the inside also stop the stalker hackers who think they have free license to steal from our bank and credit accounts (and poison our food and water and enter and vandalize our home and property because they know the compromised local cops won't touch them.

The good people on the inside have NOT stopped the microwave attacks.  They were targeting my right front temple just moments ago.  They've got to have this house in some kind of an invisible laser grid that gives them a constant read-out of coordinates.  The attacks are precise, to the millimeter.

Now ask yourself:  If they can do this to me, how come they can't get Bin Laden?
Or is he someone's foil, or someone's convenient invention? 

This is a nationwide -- make that global -- organized war crimes ring we are dealing with here, with official participation.  This is the Fourth Reich. The rule of law truly has broken down and I believe military and secretive security agencies around the globe are the ultimate protectors of this genocidal apparatus.

This global infrastructure is separate and apart from the world's elected officials.  Most  public officials are its patsies.  Some are aware and complicit. That's my theory.

And what's going on here is a global genocide.  A slow-bleed, slow-kill death by a thousand cuts (or rads) genocide.

The good people on the inside must act now.  There is nothing to lose.  Because if the forces of good do not prevail, who wants to live in the kind of world that's left?

It has been said to me several times that "you have freedom of speech."

I know now that "freedom of speech" is all we have to fight these assaults.

We better speak up while we can.

I will never give up.

Question: Why do they let anything go through that's controversial or  contrary to the "program"?  Answer:  On a large interactive site, it  is difficult for saboteurs to be "sneaky" enough to surgically cull  messages from the incoming stream. The code filters that they  would insert into the site's code-base could be noticed by others  who are not "playing the game".  Censoring the sites of small  operators is no problem: mine (all three) have been completely  clamped off.  Many of the technocrats who maintain internet sites  are young bucks "with attitude".  "Showing off" this misdirected  "attitude" is the reason many of them do the dirty work - and in  many cases this "attitude" works contrary to the wishes of their  controllers (contained in the "attitude" is a desire to see you  complain). At the same time, the "attitude" of subordinates works  for the ring-leaders, because it gives them a hook into the young  recruits via age-old angst and youth-related problems.

They are not censoring "the site" per se (NowPublic.com). They are unconstitutionally and illegally monitoring and censoring MY INTERNET CONNECTION without any reasonable justification or cause.  That is apparent by the pattern and methodology.  I'm being targeted, not NowPublic.

And it appears the local fusion center has been ordered to monitor and harass and censor my connection 24/7.  These operatives, whether government contractors or employees, are under command and control. 

Your theory about "attitude" certain sounds plausible, given my experience, but either there's gross insubordination here, or their management is operating under orders and the system is corrupt.  You decide which theory fits.

"Attitude" does not mean anything when encrypted traffic comes through.

Then, mindless website/posting blocking can be implemented with or without permission from owners.

These assholes hate "Tor," because real freedom of speech pisses them off either innately or as

a part of a Stasi mind-set that *is* part and parcel of their indoctrination.

We've all seen it. The news journalists lapping up political press briefings, not asking the hard-hitting questions.

Not calling politicians on known deceits. Putting viewers on the psychological defensive in their relationship with their society and their government.

Selling "luxury wars" like Iraq and, most recently, Iran with the same advertising technique.

What the heck is going on here?

Why are the media pulling punches with corporations and politicians?

Why are they using a "divide and conquer" approach with their viewers?

And why are they reporting so much non-news when major stuff is happening every day?

The information is beginning to come out now. Our news has been tampered with by the military itself.

At the risk of sounding self-aggrandizing, guys like me have been purged from the mainstream media by this program.  In my case, the microwave/laser/LRAD attacks did me in, rendered me inchoate for four years, and continue to keep me in a weakened state today.

I am being constantly tortured, physically degraded, psychologically harassed, held prisoner in my own home.  This is domestic terrorism executed by government.   

This isn't just a military operation, although I think the military is doing the slow-killing. It's a multi-agency affair, involving non-military security and intel agencies as well as the Pentagon.  Reporters are profiled.  Those who cause "trouble" are eliminated, one way or the other.  I am a prime example.   Now that I look back, I can put the pieces together -- the instances of sabotage I encountered in my last mainstream media news job.  It all makes sense now.  I've got a novel in me for sure -- if I live long enough to write it.

Where are the heroes?  Please, step up.  Now.  Before more people suffer.

The following URL seems to indicate that you are not the only  reporter in town being "roughed up" these days.  The described  situation seems real enough, but there are so many  "gate-keepers" in these times - high profile entities who profess  to  be defined by some criteria that draws in "similar feathered"  people (aka - a honey-pot operation).  Anyway - the action that  "roughs up" both you and your "source" is a step up from the  "Scrivener Episode".  www.prisonplanet.com/investigative-reporter-wayne-madsen-arrested.html

Question: "Why are the media pulling punches with corporations and  politicians?" Answer: A few companies own mainstream media -  lock,  stock, and barrel, and big banks and corporations own the  politicians.  The politicians changed the law to allow unlimited  monopolization of the press a few year ago ... potentially the worst  thing that has ever happened to this country.

I have come to the obvious conclusion that the withholding or filtering of posts is more of a "mind game," but still a managed discourse not allowing and discrediting anything of clarity or actual truth.

These diversions are business as usual for the alphabet agencies.

Do *they* rule our world?

Or do *they* work for us.

*We* are "their" boss, they need to re-assess their jobs.

We need to understand the reality and responsibility of democracy.

We need to kick ass, take names and make things right.

Interesting that the "comments" web form field and the "edit" and "reply" buttons are now missing from my recent story about digital TV signals being expropriated as a psychological harassment/torture modality.


Clearly my NP pages are being intercepted and maliciously tampered with.  The people doing this are un-American.  Their rogue program has been exposed.  They should be looking over their own shoulders now...

Scrivener

Well, I'm back at the computer an hour or so later, and the buttons have reappeared.

Just more proof that these pages are being "spoofed" (faked) and that operatives are playing "man in the middle" with remote computing software that intercepts my connection and in effect CONTROLS what does and does not go up on the net.

This is the face of American fascism.  Fusion center operatives, are you proud of your "work"? Calling these operatives "frat boy Nazis" is really an insult to frat boys.  This is a criminal enterprise being run under the false pretense of, what? 

I know there are good people on the inside.  Why do they countenance this perversion of government?  Oh, that's right.  They can always blame rogue "contractors."

UPDATE: Sept. 3rd, 12:19 p.m.:  The "edit" and "reply" buttons are again missing on all comments to the "digital TV weaponized" story...

The malicious tampering continues...

Have you "turned off" comments for your "weaponized digital tv"  article?  When I load that page from NP, it does not  show  the  "reply" buttons or the "Add a comment" box.  This page  (to  which I  am now posting a comment) had the same problem a  few  moments  ago.  Quite weird.  If you have no control over the  "enable/disable"  comment functionality, then a) something  squirrelly is going on  with NP servers, or b) they have pipelined my  connection the same  as yours ...

I have no control.  My pages are "spoofed" and a third party (guess who?) is deciding what goes up to NP computers in Canada, and in what (tampered?  altered?) form.


This is the face of telecommunications fascism in the Security State.  The Bill of Rights has been reduced to hollow words on a page.

I might add that I can post to any other page on NP.  Go figure ...

I have an "url watcher" utility running, and it shows me exactly  which urls are being loaded into the browser as I browse.  Watching  the urls float by, I see nothing coming in outside of the  "Now Public" domain and sub-domains except for Google-Analytics,  StatCounter and Quantserve ...  with the exception of images.  This  implies that what we are seeing  is either generated by NP, is a  result of a "pipelining" of our own  internet connections through a  clandestine "third party"  connection, or is a hidden re-direct that  is  the result of compromised name server service.

"Sub-domains"?  Or phony URLs that generate spoofed (faked) pages?  It appears to me that most of the "re-directs" are not even hidden.  Seems to be a real Mickey Mouse methodology.  Not only are innocent people being denied their constitutional rights -- this program appears to be inept.

This is not statecraft.   Alert the DNI.  Roz Mazer, is the algorithm getting this message to you?

Can you see your own "reply" tags on the "weaponized-digital-tv" article?

Never mind ... I see your post, made closer to the top of the thread,  where you say that your "reply" button is missing.  This implies, if  both of our connections have not been misdirected or pipelined in  exactly the same way, that the page as generated by NP is missing  the button.

Perhaps your prescription for this problem (another venue) is  something to be seriously considered.  I'll put up a server if you  post to it (you're a helluva lot better writer than I).   While I'm  pretty  good with servers, we have the not-so-small problem that all  of my sites have been censored.  Perhaps triangulation efforts  from  just a few people (us) could help to solve that riddle too ...

I just received a phone call (which I didn't answer) that yielded a  "Caller  ID" display of "Server Experts R Us" or some  such  thing.  This call came in only moments after I posted the  previous  message ... It's bloody ridiculous.

I forgot to say that *they* can just track and follow you to a site/forum and infiltrate to subvert and gaslight.

This, definitely. has been done to me.

Also, anyone should not be "over-reactive" to these electronic assaults, as the reality can be easily displaced/discredited by those so inclined to an uneducated public.

This might not or will not prove so after full integration of computer literacy and updated knowledge of the possibilities and realities of electronic warfare.

And, other stalking individuals or groups should not be "acknowledged" as such, because that is part of the "gas-lighting" goal, to have the victim claim the actual events and then call them crazy or "schizophrenic."

A maniacal game?

For sure.

Scrivener

Sure, that's why they withhold posts and after I write about apparent censorship, they will often post the material... or perhaps it went up immediately, and was withheld from my view by way of a spoofed page.

That is why I am careful to say "censorship and/or prior restraint."

As for the effort to paint victims as crazy or schizophrenic or delusional -- it won't work.  Too many people know the truth.  And the locals are rightfully insulted and pissed off at having their intelligence insulted and their power (as guaranteed by the 10th Amendment -- state's rights) usurped.

I truly believe that some powerful "locals" are quietly rooting me on.  That's how this federally-spawned but locally enabled fascism will be broken -- by the good people on the inside on both the federal and local levels...  Take that to the bank.

As I wrote the words above a few moments ago, I was assaulted by two sharp hits to the head, a microwave directed energy assault.  And another sharp, piercing hit as I just pasted this comment from my word processing program.  More evidence that the attacks are in response to real-time surveillance, and are calibrated instantaneously... an indication that my premise is within a targeting "grid" as has been described by retired Army Col. Bearden in his papers on "scalar" electromagnetic weapons.  


http://www.prahlad.org/pub/bearden/scalar_wars.htm

I am pretty much convinced that these attacks are coming from Tesla-inspired pulsed electromagnetic waves being generated from terrestrial-based antennae installed on regional cell phone towers -- or perhaps from low-orbit GPS-type military attack satellites.

I am leaning toward the terrestrial-based EMF scenario.  

Comments?

UPDATE: Two minutes later.  I am now in pain, woozy in the head, feeling like I was hit over the head with a club.  Please help.  This is felonious assault and attempted HOMICIDE. Torture is too benign a term.  This is surely that, and an attempted genocide.  I AM BEING SLOW-KILLED.  Is this what they did to Ted Kennedy??  Homicidal maniacs are destroying our nation and the world.  The good people who are left must ACT NOW.

You are correct, "info4u".  No regime of tyrants, whether ensconced  by a protective government, or operating directly as organized  crime, has ever evaded the truth, the exposure, and the subsequent  retribution for such acts as we converse about on a daily basis  (commited by brownshirt/stasi ops), or the more overt ones sure to  come (genocide). Hitler's nasty "brown shirts", his Gestapo, and his  military held sway for only a dozen years.  Stalin, and his followers  held out for a little longer ...
