- https://twitter.com/…BonSeff
- He'll be ripping his shirt off and BBQ-ing like mad right now. Surely it'll only make his fan base believe his pish even more though?PhanLo
- good ... queue the retards who think this has something to do with freedom of speech ... it doesn'tmonospaced
- Bitchute is the new channel I believerobotron3k
- Bitchute looks like some grim viewing. It sounds like another word for fartpipe.PhanLo
- private companies should be able to ban whomever they damn well please... that IS a part of freedom of speech btw (for the private co... not Alex) :)PonyBoy
- Who?sab
- So the left fights fascism then impliment fascism? OK.Hayoth
- by left fascism you mean triggering assholes to doubt people's dead children, then yea. fuck this wannabe bobby heenan.BonSeff
- Hayoth are you a crisis actor for Alex Jones?utopian
- Damnit. That’s not what fascism even is! Why are we still having this conversation. This is a company saying they don’t like a crazy asshole in their business.monospaced
- And just because the heads of most major social media networks happen to be liberal doesn’t mean it’s the government. Just means they’re better people.monospaced
- GoodBennn
- Lol liberals are better people mono, I mean who on earth would even want to normalize pedophilia? Or is that something you would defend??robotron3k
- https://ageofshitlor…robotron3k
- i respect their right to ban him as much as a baker to not bake a cake for gays. I wonder if ppl see the hypocrisy in how this stuff is defended********
- or even willingly will admit there choice of hypocrisy********
- on a side note i'd like to point out hes an entertainer in the same vain as john oliver. News as entertainment with a spin********
- i think it says plenty about the platforms decisions in which way they lean. not all inclusive, but our views only. like a religious baker. line has been drawn********
- i actually applaud them for their honesty and standing by what they believe vs trying to lie and say they're all inclusive and shit for sales.********
- Unlike John Oliver, he doesn't always have facts and he promotes products he profits off of.********
- haha well id say they both operate off facts. interuptations different. and where as aj promotes products network does the same in the form of advertisements********
- slightly different mediums for advertisements. but thats what pays them both at the end of the day. personally i prefered oliver in community********
- and jones in waking life. the news personas do lil for me. think they are the bottom of the barrel acting, albeit profitable********
- but to the main point the hypocrisy. will anyone willingly admit it? or will they try to skate around it?********
- and for fun thought experiment think of the Interpretations of what is news. most is all based on same facts and spun differently for audience********
- how is that also applied to todays big media and google analytics. the data and the people trying to determine what it means. there real intents and spins********
- Maybe he'll just get more into making music .... https://i.redd.it/0k… Expect him in the Making Beats thread soon ....microkorg
- Maybe uncle Donnie will save him.PhanLo
- mono, you must be a troll? you can't be that fucking stupid. BANNING someone from SPEAKING just because you disagree with them is an attack on FREE SPEECH.Milan
- "Censoring certain views based on politics means that Facebook is a publisher not a platform and therefore they should have their liability waiver on illegal...Milan
- user posted content revoked."Milan
- is calling the victims of a shooting 'crisis actors/hoax' political?..really? or is it hate speech?exador1
- When people say free speech in the U.S., they're usually talking about the First Amendment which protects you from being censored by the government.yuekit
- Whereas a corporation censoring someone is seen as an example of THEIR freedom of speech. Having said that I do agree it's a problem when you have one site likeyuekit
- YouTube that is basically the only video site. Technically it's a private decision and no one would deny you the right to ban someone from your personalyuekit
- site if they are being a piece of shit. But effectively it is silencing someone when so much power is in the hands of a handful of companies. Everyone wants toyuekit
- be 100% on one side or the other but I don't think it's such a black and white issue.yuekit
- The interesting thing is that for all the criticism they get, we are living in an age of extreme free speech right now largely thanks to these platforms.yuekit
- Even 5-10 years ago you didn't have nearly as many channels to watch and extreme content as we have now...the genie has been let out of the bottle so to speak.yuekit
- Banning them from social media is not a free speech infringement, no matter how much you stomp your feet and whine like a baby about it.monospaced
- And last I checked, liberals aren't out to "normalize pedophilia." That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard.monospaced
- Look up free speech, Milan, and educate yourself. You sound like an idiot talking about it when you CLEARLY have no fucking idea what it encompasses.monospaced
- If an asshole walks into a restaurant, and starts making a scene, talking shit to guests and turning the place into a shithole, the owner has a RIGHT to evict.monospaced
- This is the same thing. The moment a government SUPPRESSES speech, that's when it's an issue. Right now Alex is FREE to speak his mind where he's accepted.monospaced
- Any private company that wants to allow him to speak is allowed to, and nobody will be punished LEGALLY for it. THAT IS FREE SPEECH. Not infringed. Grow up!monospaced
- That's the great thing about this country. Free to speak like an asshole, and free to kick out assholes you don't like. Government isn't even involved.monospaced
- 'liberals normalise pedophilia' - robo 2018.

- for all the family however many fingers your kids have. DO NOT FORGET TO READ THE SMALL PRINT.fadein11
- Surely Jones has made a decent amount of cash by now, he should just retire and BBQ full time before he explodes.PhanLo
- Until Alex Jones is imprisoned or charged with a legal infraction for speaking, anyone saying there's a freedom of speech issue is full of bullshit.monospaced
- it's less about speech and more that it is simple discrimination of a private company in providing a service. unfortunately they will be sued for it as the********
- baker was. Maybe this time they will win and reverse a the precedence that a private company has to serve everyone equally. Brings rights back to busines ownrs********
- private companies can delete whatever the fuck they like and deleting someone who claimed Sandy Hook didn't happen and the parents were actors is +1 from me.fadein11
- Alex still has Instagram for posting memes.PhanLo
- The question is if you can discriminate based on political beliefs, which are broad and derived upon many things like religion/racial/econ... etc..********
- you open the door to roll back all anti-discrimination laws. i also wonder the legal hiccups of state vs federal law for a business that crosses state lines.********
- The whole discrimination argument may work if infowars was a not for profit org... Have you watched it recently deathboy? Its all about the $$$ dude not freedomfadein11
- of speechfadein11
- LMFAO!LMFAO
- Those sites kick people off all the time for violating their terms of service, you just don't hear about it since they aren't as famous as Alex Jones.yuekit
- There are also people with similar and more extreme views still on those platforms. Richard Spencer has a YouTube channel. So not much of an argument in termsyuekit
- of it being political discrimination. And no it's not going to result in all anti-discrimination laws being rolled back lol.yuekit
- it has potential yuekit. they're already being sued for shadow banning conservative views. if they were to win it would set a legal precedent. but would it be********
- fed vs state level. it has a lot of interesting legal angles. but gov probably seize it all anyways under russia prevention narrative.********
- but still how can some people support infowars ban vs a religious business owner not wanting to bake a cake for a gay couple. or even refusing to serve politic********
- al candidates they dont support. religious business owner BK over deal while others get applauded. the hypocrisy on this stuff is ridiculous********
- There's a difference between banning someone for who they are vs. their behavior. i.e. banning someone foryuekit
- being black vs. kicking someone out for breaking the merchandise and taking a shit on the floor. The first one canyuekit
- be debated, but it would be silly to suggest that someone has an absolute right to stay in your store when they are breaking the rules.yuekit
- google+sted
- lol he is a lair, his apps are upp and running.sted
- honestly, if your[e still claiming freedom of speech issues, you're seriously confused. Alex is FREE to spout his nonsense on his own site, or on the sidewalk.monospaced
- or ANYWHERE where people are so morally fucked they will allow him ... maybe even FOX News. Point is, he's FREE to do that without punishment.monospaced
- Stupid thing is both Apple and Google decided his videos should be banned from their platforms, yet decided his top-downloaded app was worthy of keeping. SMHridlerontheroof

- When you go off herding camels for a few months, how do you ensure your wife doesn't sleep around? Cover her entirely, and limit her contact with males.shapesalad
- The thing is, in 2018 in Sweden there aren't that many camel herders. So these religious rules, burqa etc, are just causing divide and seem alien.shapesalad
- LOL. No law was changed or created!!! It’s just a ruling that she was discriminated against by not getting a job based on religious custom.monospaced

Seeking justice for Justice the horse
Can a neglected animal sue?https://www.washingtonpost.com/n…
Justice is an 8-year-old American quarter horse who used to be named Shadow. And when he was named Shadow, he suffered. At a veterinarian’s exam last year, he was 300 pounds underweight, his black coat lice-ridden, his skin scabbed and his genitals so frostbitten that they might still require amputation.
The horse had been left outside and underfed by his previous owner, who last summer pleaded guilty to criminal neglect. And now Justice, who today resides with other rescued equines on a quiet wooded farm within view of Oregon’s Cascade mountains, is suing his former owner for negligence. In a lawsuit filed in his new name in a county court, the horse seeks at least $100,000 for veterinary care, as well as damages “for pain and suffering,” to fund a trust that would stay with him no matter who is his caretaker

Ex-Nazi Guard in U.S., Now 95, Is Deported to Germany
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/…
The Nazi guard lived a quiet life in a racially diverse corner of New York City for decades, having lied on his United States immigration papers in 1949 about the type of work he did during World War II. But on Tuesday, he was deported to Germany, ending a 14-year battle to remove him from American soil.

Volkswagen accused of ruining Mexican crops with weather-altering 'hail cannons'
Local groups have accused the German automaker of causing a dry spell with hail cannons that shoot sonic booms into the air to prevent the formation of hail. The devices are used to protect cars parked outside the factory from dents caused by hailstones.
Following the complaints, Volkswagen has promised to reduce its use of the cannons at its Puebla factory.
