HuffPost UK · This Is What Glenn Close Actually Said During Her Censored Golden Globes Speech
Exclusive: #LuigisManifesto (HT @LeftistLawyer )
Read the manifesto the media refused to publish
Ken Klippenstein, Dec 10, 2024
“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has [allowed] them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Top Ten Tactics for Recognising #Propaganda : 1 - Brand #Censored
If someone is #branding their #media as 'censored' - consider the reach they actually have (number of followers? number of 'likes'/shares?). READ MORE

In 2013, I was #censored by #Facebook for my coverage of the annual #RedUmbrella awareness day in solidarity with local & global #SexWorkers. I actually never violated any of their TOS. My performer friend was clothed but wore nude bodysuit & pasties. Red Umbrella march & rally is to advocate for sex workers' rights & their safety & to honour the lives of sex workers lives lost & bring awareness to a marginalized population of our society.
I decided to do a cookies protest against FB #censorship & they censored my cookies too.
I'm so glad to have deleted my FB.
Cop Killer - #BodyCount
https://youtu.be/yg_S4JJMxPU?si=mpviAV4Om_G7yHwg
Fab live coverage from 1992.
When talking about #controversial #music, there are few more shining examples than #CopKiller. Recorded by #IceT’s rock group Body Count, “Cop Killer” is a heated #song about a victim of #PoliceBrutality who violently takes matters into his own hands. The song faced criticism from #LawEnforcement agencies, the Parents Music Resource Center #PMRC, President #GeorgeHWBush and the public in general. Some people responded through #protests and #boycotts of any company associated with the distribution of the record. This caused sales to skyrocket, but also prompted certain stores to take the album off their shelves. Some countries, such as #NewZealand, attempted to have the song and the #rap group itself completely #banned. Stockholders threatened to pull out from #WarnerBrosRecords and executives received #DeathThreats. While Ice-T stood by his work, stating that it was a #ProtestSong meant to reflect hateful emotions rather than encourage violence, he subsequently decided to recall the album, removing the trouble-making song upon re-release.

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - #RollingStones
https://youtu.be/bG8L3CnjmBo?si=ThNGLGOD7vBxtHi8
In 1965, during a performance of this world-famous chart-topper on #ABC’s #music variety show, Shindig!, the song’s line “trying to make some girl” was #censored. Not surprisingly, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” had faced much criticism for its #SexualInnuendo and critical statements about #commercialism. However, when the Rolling Stones performed the song again 40 years later during the February 2006 #SuperBowlXL halftime show, this was the only song that wasn’t censored.

Physical - #OliviaNewtonJohn (September 1981)
https://youtu.be/vWz9VN40nCA?si=isq-QBdwCFHTVdji
“Physical” was very popular in the US & UK but some radio stations #banned the #song due to #SexualContent & they #censored lines - “There’s nothing left to talk about unless it’s horizontally.”
#Controversy also surrounded this song because the #MusicVideo featured a #GayCouple holding hands (who ignored Olivia’s advances). That one scene caused it to be banned by some broadcasters & #MTV censored it.
I have a personal connection to #Wikileaks, as they were quite aware of me on the bird site, and one of my Tweets was the first one they "liked". I read and posted many of their documents, which exposed #corruption and human rights abuses.
#JulianAssange is Free
By #Wikileaks, #CensoredNews, June 25, 2024
"Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
"This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations.
"This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
"After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
"WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of #GovernmentCorruption and #HumanRights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions.
"As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know. As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom. Julian's freedom is our freedom.
#Censored News original series: Wikileaks exposed espionage of #IndigenousPeoples
"Censored News spent six months reading the Wikileaks files, which revealed the U.S. spying on Presidents Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez; promoting deadly mining in Peru; and a mandate for U.S Ambassadors to collect DNA and iris scans.
"The U.S. worked behind the scenes to thwart passage of the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples.
"The most spied on by the U.S. State Department were #Mohawks and #Mapuches."

Strange Fruit - #BillieHoliday (1939)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Web007rzSOI
This song was a profound & powerful depiction of Billie Holiday’s horror over a #lynching. It was #BannedInTheUSA radio for its heavy, morbid content upon its release in 1939. As dark as the lyrics were, this was a song that the public truly needed to hear at the time. In 1965, Billie Holiday’s #music was #censored again when #ABCradio refused to play “Love for Sale” as the #song’s #lyrics were about #prostitution.
1928 Poster of #Hitler with tape on his Mouth Claiming he is Being #Censored
The text under the image translates to:
“One alone out of 2000 Million humans on earth is not allowed to speak in Germany".
(damn this is EXACTLY #Trump. Also, someone show this to #SCOTUS re the #conservatives arguing they’re being censored by #SocialMedia #moderation.)

3/3 A key GOP message:
Our highest priority is to keep children safe from harm!
How they use it:
As an excuse to inact policies they want, even if they harm children (who have already been born so how important are they really)?

3/ More fallout from the #HugoAwardsDebacle includes a number of resignations...
File 770 - Mike Glyer's news of science fiction fandom · Cheryl Morgan, Dave McCarty Resign from WSFS’ Hugo Award Marketing Committee - File 770WSFS’ Hugo Awards Marketing Committee (“HAMC”) members Cheryl Morgan and chair Dave McCarty have resigned. New chair Linda Deneroff says, “We are currently in a holding pattern. I have taken over leading the HAMC, but I still need to contact the other members of the committee to see if they wish to remain on it.”
Replied in thread
I kept noticing that so many of the emails (from the people making the award decisions!) had things in them along the lines of, "I've never read it, but it MIGHT be a problem..." and "I've never read it, but I've heard..."
Censorship is always based on ignorance-- not only the desire to remain ignorant of new ideas, but the opinions of people who have never actually read or viewed the books/film/art they are trying to censor.
I guess now we can only *hope* that the people who vote on #TheOscars actually spend a few hours watching all of the nominated films before voting. 
Continued thread
2/ For anyone wanting to read more about the backstory to this #HugoAwardsDebacle, this article gives more details about the specific authors, books, and short stories which were blocked from consideration and about the Committee's leaked emails.
Something which should also be scandalous on some level, imo, is that the Committee was voting on works they say they had never read. How can you fairly evaluate and compare stories you've never read?
Apparently, the Hugos are decided on book sleeve blurbs and social media posts.
[The linked article says it is "Free for a limited time." I generally try not to post articles if they are behind paywalls.]

1/ You might have heard there's been a #censorship scandal rocking #ScienceFiction literature's biggest award, the #HugoAwards.
The annual ceremony was held in #Chengdu, #China. Although no evidence has been found linking any direct Chinese govt influence on the Award Committee's actions, leaked emails prove that the Hugo Committee DID remove potential nominees before they could be considered, because they were anticipating possible offenses against Chinese govt policies.
(This is how #Fascist governments work-- not only because govt cronies enforce their own authoritarian laws, but because ordinary people join in and support their policies.)
Now, author #SamanthaMills (who won the Hugo for her #ShortStory "RabbitTest," about abortion access) has posted that she has refused her Hugo and removed mentions of her award from her website and books.
