U.S. Gov't Censors Net Political Speech of 'Targeted' Americans

Real-time intercepts, re-directed web traffic to "spoofed" sites controlled by government operatives.

"Man in the middle attacks" let rogue surveillance contractors censor -- or maliciously tamper with telecommunications -- on a whim.

Media web site blog and comments moderation:  perfect "cover" for ideological censorship?


GET POLITICAL w/VIC LIVINGSTON


The New York Times, like some other mainstream media outlets, "moderates" the comments sections of its web site, nytimes.com.  But do the moderators ever see the submissions of those unfortunate citizens who have been extrajudicially (and, I would argue, unconstitutionally) "targeted" by government agencies whose covert agents deem them to be "dissidents" or "undesirables?"

Apparently, this journalist is one of those people.  And there is convincing evidence that my unjust "targeting" explains why my comments to Times web articles get posted only once in a blue moon.  Here are the most recent set of facts that back up my contention:

Once again on this day, a comment submitted by this journalist to a Times web article generated a "held for moderation" message.  That's normal, since The Times does subject its internet comments sections to moderation.

What is NOT normal is the fact that almost all of my comments fail to post.  And the suspect URLs (web addresses) that whiz by in my Firefox "task bar" (such as "graphics8.nytimes.com"), as well as URLs displayed at the top of the browser page, often are unique to "targeted" citizens -- phony addresses that direct their connection to "spoofed," or faked, web sites under the control of a warrantless surveillance operatives who apparently can censor a target's telecommunications on a whim.

How can I make this allegation?  Because the facts speak for themselves.  Here's how government operatives apparently use The New York Time's system of internet comment moderation as a "cover" for ideologically-driven censorship -- or just plain malicious harassment of extrajudicially "targeted" American citizens:

A submitted comment appears on my computer display, along with the "held for moderation" message, which also states that comments are "generally" posted if deemed on-topic and not abusive.  The URL at the top of my browser window reads as follows:

http://community.nytimes.com/comments/www.nytimes.com/2010/04/25/magazine/25allen-t.html?sort=oldest&offset=2

Suspecting that repetitive URL is a "spoofed" or faked page page devised by government operative surveillance censors -- the "www.nytimes.com" placed incongruously in the middle of this URL makes it suspect -- I force-quit the Firebox browser, then quickly re-opened the program and again navigated to "www.nytimes.com" front page.

I placed my cursor over the link to the comments section of the article in question -- but I did not click upon the link.  I glanced at the Firefox task bar in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.

THIS time, the URL read, "http://community.nytimes.com/article/magazine..."

There was no "community.nytimes.com/comments/www.nytimes.com..." to be seen this time.  But when I clicked on the link, I was re-directed to that longer, "spoofed" URL enumerated above.   The phony URLs re-direct the internet traffic of "targeted individuals" to "spoofed" or faked web sites hosted by government operative computers -- the modus operandi of what appears to be ideologically-driven censorship and malicious tampering with telecommunications.

Apparently, it doesn't take much to become a "target." Former National Security Agency analyst Russell Tice claimed in an appearance on MSNBC nearly two years ago that the government has conducted extensive surveillance of the telecommunications of virtually all mainstream journalists.

So it was no surprise that when I again returned to the main "www.nytimes.com" splash page, the link to the comments section of the article in question suddenly had disappeared from view -- even though the headline to the article was intact.  For years, apparently, my telecommunications have been monitored in real time, most likely by contractor operatives working under the authority of the regional multi-agency "fusion center" known as MAGLOCLEN, based in Philadelphia's northern suburbs. whose assigned territory covers many of the Mid-Atlantic states.

Later, I returned to the "nytimes.com" web site article to see if my comment was posted.  It was nowhere to be found.  Given the "spoofed" URLs, it is extremely doubtful that any New York Times web moderator ever saw my submission.

I believe the above facts, as well as case histories I have presented at the free speech section of the ACLU "freedom blog," demonstrate that the U.S. government imposes ideologically-driven censorship on internet telecommunications in America, employing high-tech, real-time algorithms to re-direct, and sometimes "spike,"  the political speech of citizens who are unknowingly "targeted" by this constitutionally irregular regimen. 

Not all comments of "targeted" persons are censored; apparently, that would be too obvious.  It is my experience that these operatives are given the power to censor (or maliciously tamper) at will, in what the spooks term a "man in the middle attack."  Apparently, "information systems" defense contractors have been enlisted by security state bureaucrats as America's mercenary gatekeepers.

What is truly sad is that the Obama administration, from the President on down, insists that the U.S. government does not censor the internet, or impose a political litmus test on those who, rightly or wrongly, come under government scrutiny.

That, I maintain, is a lie -- even if President Obama and his cabinet naively believe otherwise.

And so I ask again:  When will the Obama administration get a grip on what appears to be a rogue bureaucracy?

Oh good lord why does nowpublic let this guy post his lies? TO WIT:

Yesterday I noticed on my Facebook page a notation that I supposedly made an inquiry as to the "status"  of author and civil liberties advocate Naomi Wolf. I made no such inquiry.  
 

Yet in his other most recent article he says:

at 15:48 on April 12th, 2010

ADDENDUM TO VL'S POSTING ABOVE ABOUT APPARENT GOV'T "SPOOFING" OF WEB SITES --  THE MECHANISM FOR IDEOLOGICAL CENSORSHIP OF POLITICAL SPEECH

When I attempt to access the web site of journalist and author Naomi Wolf, my Firefox browser line reads:

www.facebook.com/pages/Naomi-Wolf/27231109475?filter=1

"Filter 1?"  And just what is that -- and whose handiwork placed "filter 1" into my data stream?  A blatant signal to me that I am being censored?  Such hubris.

Are my comments to Ms. Wolf visible to her -- or am I looking at a fake, "spoofed" Facebook page controlled by the government's fusion center good squad?

When I try to access the button for the author "and fans," I can't immediately get through.  The browser stays on the button for just the author's comments only, not submissions by her readers.

Is that the way the government operative censors are trying to hide the possible "black holing" of my comments to that particular Facebook page?

I find it notable that I have gotten only no responses to my posted comment, from either Ms. Wolf or other readers.  That seems odd, given the nature of my comment, which I offer here:

Vic Livingston  --

Naomi: It's journalist Vic Livingston. I have been trying to reach you for literally two years, and I apparently have been prevented from doing so by the multi-agency "program" that has extrajudicially targeted me in what I describe in my articles as "Gestapo USA." I have exposed a nationwide cell tower- based micro...wave/laser radio frequency weapon system that is being used to silently assault, torture, impair and neurologically subjugate U.S. citizens, most of whom have no idea that this technology exists. Please read my articles at http://NowPublic.com/scrivener, especially these: "U.S. Silently Tortures..." "Gestapo USA" and "How U.S. Spy Ops Censor Net Political Speech." I would like to meet with you ASAP. It appears that some of the good people on the inside have begun a quiet campaign to take down this "torture matrix" -- probably why this message appears to be getting thru (I say "appears" because I could look looking at a "spoofed" or faked page). scrivener50@verizon.net

Vic Livingston --

Hello? Did my message get thru on Naomi's side -- or am I still "black-holed" and looking at a spoofed page with my comment only visible to me? You know they can do that, Naomi, just like gov't agencies slander journalists they seek to neutralize. Read this:

http://nowpublic.com/world/how-u-s-spy-ops-censor-web-political-speech

Yesterday at 6:05pm ·


Could some REAL reader here (if there are any!) please check Mr. Wolf's Facebook page and let me know if my comments actually posted -- or whether I can see only the spoofed or fake Naomi Wolf Facebook page that facilitates the government's draconian but obvious system of ideological censorship of political speech on the internet...

And will someone please clue in President Obama that his bureaucracy is making a liar out of him over the internet censorship issue?

 I suspect that rogue agents of a certain agency or multi-agency task force have sabotaged my finances 

I think it may have more to do with the fact by your own claims you haven't worked in six years... and even before then it was "sports business reporter for the madison square garden network"

what's that, like "wayne's world" for hockey fans employed by the sanitation department? did they pay you or did you pay them for access to air time?

Oh but someone drained the finances of the Vic Livingston media mogul dynasty, you're the best kept secret in investigative reporting! The way your articles treat facts like they are a foreign language and your magnimously affable manners replying to readers, NOT, it's a wonder the editorial offices of all media aren't beating on your door...  hoping you'll open it so they can beat harder!

Simple Logic People

So if it was ok for everyone to be a homosexual, then how would we as a species reproduce? You might suggest such measures as invitro-fertilization, but that goes against the very laws of nature that have been set in place for us. The only reason you see homosexuality in the animal kingdom (which is where most of you Babylonian loving people get your reasoning for this unnatural act) is because animals are controlled merely by instinct and if they want to get laid, which are natural urges and desires, then they will seek out the nearest member of the same species regardless of sex and proceed to satisfy their instinctive wants. If we are to follow the lusts of our "heart" and not the simple logics of the brain, then we are bound to do the things that are purely controlled by pleasure. Thus you will argue on your own behalf because you "feel" it is right whether it IS right or not. This is creating justification for ourselves and therefore it is purely subjective (what you want) and not objective (what is). Let me put it this way, the subjective truth is based upon desire (ie I do not want to be a liar), but the objective truth is based upon right and wrong (ie I am not going to be a liar because it is the right thing to do whether I like it or not). This means that you are basing homosexuality to be a rightful cause because you "feel" it is right, even though the natural reproduction cycle is clearly evident in the world today. I do not argue against homosexuality because I feel it to be right or wrong, but I argue against it because it is obviously wrong according to the order of life set as an example in all species that we see today. I could go on for hours about the logistics of our lives and why things are right and wrong. I'll leave you with this, if homosexuality is in fact right (because all choices in this world are either right or they are wrong, no double-minded answers) then you have the right to choose whether you wish to be a gay or not even though that conflicts with someone elses moral code, then what is to stop me from following the ways of Stalin because it is my freedom of choice even though it goes against your moral code or agenda? I couldnt be wrong for being a Stalinist because if I am wrong, then you are wrong and therefore you contradict your very own logic.

ATTENTION PROJECT GENEVA AND ALL GOOD PEOPLE ON THE INSIDE:

This censorship/telecommunications harassment regime extends well beyond what I have written here.  Just this morning, my Mac Safari browser crashed repeatedly, as it does every  day, forcing me to use Firefox.  The evidence leads me to conclude that rogue operatives are doing the crashing so that I will be forced to use Firefox, which appears to be better suited to the technology being used to re-direct, tamper with, and censor telecommunications of targeted persons.  

For example, with Safari (before it invariably crashes) I can actually access "www.nowpublic.com."  With Firefox, my browser is always re-directed to "my.nowpublic.com," which I believe is a "spoofed" or faked web site address under the direct control of this unconstitutional, rogue censorship regimen.

Also, after several years of trying to access Facebook and MySpace, I finally was able to sign up for a Facebook account.  But I have trouble posting family photos, and I cannot access the photos of my daughter's wedding, hosted on a Facebook page.  The Facebook URL sometimes displays these characters:  "filter1."

My conclusion, based in empirical evidence, is that this multi-agency program that I describe as an extrajudicial genocide has slandered me as some kind of a deviate or social misfit, and has unilaterally and unconstitutionally limited my access to certain features of so-called "social networking" sites.

I also believe a covert campaign of character assassination and attempts to frame me continue to this day.  Yesterday I noticed on my Facebook page a notation that I supposedly made an inquiry as to the "status"  of author and civil liberties advocate Naomi Wolf. I made no such inquiry.  

I have been receiving mail for "James Realty," addressed to my home address, for over a year now.  I also receive offers of credit, loans, etc., with this business name and address.  I do not think this is an accident.  I suspect that rogue agents of a certain agency or multi-agency task force have sabotaged my finances and perhaps have been setting me up for a take-down based on their false, slanderous and planted "evidence."

As I have said, there is a gestapo in this country, a multi-agency cabal that is conducting a purge of American society -- employing illegal, unconstitutional, inhumane, felonious -- and genocidal -- tactics and methods.... my opinion based on six years of victimization.

When will the good people on the inside excise this extrajudicial cancer from the American body politic?

Nice variation on, "There is nothing to see here -- move along!"

Fact is, even when I am not signed in, I get the "my.nowpublic.com" URL when using Firefox, whereas Safari allows me to get onto the site with "www.nowpublic.com." 

Until Safari crashes -- perhaps on command of the rogue operatives who are unconstitutionally surveilling and harassing Americans via their telecommunications?

My conclusion:  The government's rogue warrantless censorship-surveillance program -- you know, the one you paid trolls are blog-spamming for -- is "optimized" for Firefox when it comes to unconstitutionally spying on and censoring Mac users.

Let's see what Project Geneva has to say about these covert psy ops against Americans, shall we?

Have a nice day, jackels and lackeys!

"This thought leaped into my head: Is THIS how they got Ted Kennedy?"

That's a fairly crazy thought you had. Then, this thought just leaped into my head.

The average life expectancy in the US is 77-78 years. Ted was 77-78 years old when he passed away.

Hmm, another coincidence?

Can "porkpie" say, COLOR OF LAW VIOLATOR?

They really think they are above the law.  Just like the original Nazis.

They will not stand down.  They must be TAKEN DOWN -- forcefully and PUBLICLY.

Bucks County, PA is the centcom of the Mid-Atlantic states branch of the American Gestapo.

I am a hostage to home invader-vandals, some of whom live in the neighborhood, protected by the locals.  The rule of law has completely broken down in this county.

(Republishing this attack report, filed two days ago, due to what I believe is its significance in terms of exposing the extent of the evil being committed by a multi-agency cabal in the name of "national security.")

MICROWAVE/RF ATTACK REPORT -- Wed., April 21, 2010

The government operative microwave/radio frequency torturers now appear to be doing their most heinous assaults at night, while this victim sleeps.

I awoke at 5:50 a.m. to sharp, persistent pain in my right front temple area, the area most frequently targeted for precision microwave attack. It felt as though an arrow was piercing my skull. This pain was accompanied by reddish skin, floaters in the eyes, and a feeling of weakness and malaise. The pain in the forehead persisted for well over an hour.

This thought leaped into my head: Is THIS how they got Ted Kennedy?

Later in the morning, between about 10:30 and 11:30 a.m., I had to fight to stay awake and could not stop yawning. The broadcast of certain frequencies can induce sleep, or a state of wakefulness. This is how the rogue operatives manipulate the functioning of human beings -- they are playing God. It is now noon, and the feeling of extreme weariness has dissipated. It usually resumes after 5 p.m. (when "the suits" have gone home for the day).

My accounts can be compared to surveillance and logs of the MAGLOCLEN fusion center and its affiliate agencies, commands and corporations. Like the original Nazis, the superiors of today's Nazis surely are surveilling and logging the actions of their underlings. However, it also appears that many operatives, agents and perhaps sworn officers are authorized to "use" the cell tower- based multi-functional microwave/laser radio frequency directed energy weapon system. So the U.S. government appears to have opened a microwave Pandora's Box, a weapon the usage of which cannot be contained or controlled.

That is why this heinous nationwide weapon of silent torture, impairment and enslavement must be TAKEN DOWN, DISASSEMBLED, DECOMMISSIONED, AND BANNED FROM EVER BEING DEPLOYED AGAIN.

***

Addendum to the above attack report, April 21, 2010 @ 12:29 p.m.:

When I first tried to submit this comment to the "my.nowpublic.com" site (apparently a "spoofed" or faked URL web site controlled by government operative computers, since I cannot access "www.nowpublic.com" using the Firefox browser), there was a L-O-N-G "waiting for my.nowpublic.com" stall...

...and then a full screen message appeared, complete with a graphic of a little bug crawling on the screen, stating that NowPublic.com was "down for routine maintenance."

I had seen this ruse before -- an obviously faked page inserted into my data stream when I attempted to post a comment that the rogue surveillance censors do not want out on the internet.

And what triggered this apparent knee-jerk censorship?

I believe it was the sentence in the comment making reference to Ted Kennedy.

Let me be clear: I have absolutely no evidence that Ted Kennedy's fatal brain tumor was induced by a microwave weapon.

Do I believe that could be the case? YES, I DO.

A few moments later, I again attempted to post the comment -- and this time, just moments later after I received the "down for routine maintenance" message, the comment was posted (at least, as seen over my apparently government-controlled "my.nowpublic.com/scrivener" pages).

I do not know which is worse -- the evil banality of this torture matrix, or its astounding ineptitude.

Was your microwave weaponry technology responsible for all those cases of brain cancers too?

I did not inquire about her "status," as in was written on my Facebook page.  I posted a message asking her if she had read my articles, and I asked rhetorically whether I was being "black-holed" by a rogue government surveillance-censor regime.  Nothing I posted had anything to do with anyone's "status," wharever that is supposed to mean. 


But to sex-obsessed anal-retentives on a witch-hunt, posting false messages like that could be part of a very lame character assassination psy op.  Project Geneva, please take note...

You are attempting to parse words to the point of utter idiocy, which is expected as you are faced with the utter idiocy of your claims. You made repeated pleas as to whether Ms. Wolf had been aware of attempts of yours for two years trying to contact her, and asked "readers" if they could contact her  for you. You claim this inability to contact her is evidence you are being censored by MAGLOCEN.  Later in this article you claim their mention of your checking on her "status" was a fabrication and this was evidence of a campaign to slander you. 

It used to be you would have to scan a whole page of your comments in your articles to find an outright lie or outrageously dumb thing you said to point out, but now it's gotten to the point where each post contains several.

parsing words. I C/P'd both of your statements and of course you'd rather reply to it down here to distance yourself from the absurdity of your argument.

So:  Posting on Ms. Wolf's page about your story...

Asking  if Ms. Wolf was aware you had been trying to contact her for two years...

And asking any readers who might be in contact with her to see if any of this was getting through to her...

Is now described by you as this:

I did not inquire about her "status,"

Nothing I posted had anything to do with anyone's "status," 

And facebook acknowledging your inquiries is described by you as:

I also believe a covert campaign of character assassination and attempts to frame me continue to this day.  Yesterday I noticed on my Facebook page a notation that I supposedly made an inquiry as to the "status"  of author and civil liberties advocate Naomi Wolf. I made no such inquiry.


No wonder you now have only this to reply:  Educated with a master's degree in journalism but pretending he doesn't know the meaning of a common six letter word.

 The common theme throughout Vic's story (besides girly man drama queening, embellishing minimal facts with technical inaccuracies and appearing foolish by intent) is to appear mentally disturbed and hopelessly inept, and continue to insist that the inept delusions are proof themselves he is not inept and delusional. 

How many times has it been pointed out to him that it's normal to see my.now.public in his brower's url window? Yet once again someone points it out to him and that's proof of their lame "psy ops".
