CENSORED AGAIN! REFLECTIONS ON MY LATEST 7-DAY FACEBOOK BAN
PANDEMIC WRITINGS, Melbourne, Australia (2020-2022): piece originally published June 18, 2021
Alas, once again, a recent Facebook post became entangled in the dreaded Algorithmic Driftnet of reality censorship — resulting in an account suspension for the last 7 days. It was determined that I was communicating a forbidden truth and challenging the Official Lie — and my little flicker of Truth in the omnipresent dark had to be snuffed, and penance served. Yes, it is just Facebook, but it has become an almost indispensible outlet for daily communication and correspondence, and I am passionate about my writing and presenting information to those sharing a propensity for truth. So, having my online “social connection” effectively unplugged on the basis of what amounts to targeted suppression, is undeniably disruptive and infuriating.
Only the lie will do, only the LIE for YOU!
I initially received a ’24-hour ban’ based on a post that was automatically deemed to have violated “community standards,” (interestingly, the very same subject was later discussed in The Age, ‘Little evidence to support outdoor mask-wearing rule, scientists say,’ Liam Mannix, June 11) and then I was presented with an option to appeal the decision, as if in the interests of fairness the decision was being properly considered, and that I might actually have a chance to uphold my right to freedom of expression. Naturally, I elected to ‘disagree with the decision’ and I chose the option: ‘I do not believe my post went against Facebook community standards.’ In typical Abuser reflex, my 24-hour ban was immediately increased to 7-days for daring to question the decision of the Infallible Authority.
It was obviously a bated set-up. Facebook is undeniably aware that those motivated to communicate Truth will neither recant, nor renounce their material — it would be a betrayal of our core principles and alignment with Light. The very fact that we are even communicating the truth amongst a cacophonous atmosphere of celebrated and ubiquitous deception shows that we are equipped with the fortitude and dignity to maintain our stance, and hold our ground.
Directly interfering in the freedom of expression and imposing punitive measures to curtail the expression of truth is undeniably totalitarian overreach — it runs contrary to all that comprises a free human society.
Facebook should never be able to exercise such unwarranted and unjustifiable interference. Historically, all previous totalitarian regimes (in which this inchoate and emerging Global Technocratic-Medical Tyranny - aided by social media censorship - is evidently the latest) have all resorted to censorship to further their destructive agendas, stifle truth, and cement the Essential Lie. History is replete with Tyrants and their necessary apparatuses of tyranny frantically erasing and censoring both truths and problematic people (the communicators of such).
A lie is either useful to the Tyrant, or if unrelated, and not repeatedly energized by those driving the agenda, it fades naturally due to its own illogical inconsistencies that fool few. Such falsehoods generally die quickly in the light of the discerning mind, and by their very false nature, they are fated to wither; but Truths require the light of the mind to germinate and to grow robust amongst the illumination of other minds.
Is it any wonder they wish for us all to perceive our current reality beneath dimed-light, and preferably total darkness?
This Light will never be dimmed.
