Alex Jones banned from Facebook, Apple, Spotify, and Youtube.

Except the government isn't "coming" for Jones, nor are his works being burned.

Just this once, could we stick to actual facts in evidence, rather than wild, alarmist conjecture?

The latest from Alex. Interesting bits in bold, extra-interesting bits bold and italicized:

"It now stands with you and the U.S. military who I know already understand who the Chicom operatives and the traitors are to understand who's trying to take the First Amendment, who’s trying to bankrupt the country, who’s trying to shut down everything, who went ahead and admitted they wanted to bankrupt health care in America to bring us to our knees. We’re under attack and you know that, and you pointed out mainstream media is the enemy.

But now it’s time to act on the enemy before they do a false flag. I know the Justice Department's crippled, a bunch of followers and cowards. But there’s groups, there’s grand juries, there’s -- you called for it and it’s time politically and economically and judiciously and legally and criminally to move against these people. It’s got to be done now. Get together the people you know aren’t traitors, and aren’t cowards, and aren’t hedging their frickin’ bets like all these other ******** do, and let’s go, let’s do it. Because they’re coming. Now, in your wisdom you may be playing possum and waiting for them to come in. But America needs to know that they’ve got their little pathetic commie red teams ready. And they’ve got their targets picked out: the sheriffs, the judges, the police chiefs, the patriots, the veterans, the talk show hosts, everybody. And everyone’s going to be amazed when they come and when those cowards come and it’s going to hit in the middle of the night, and they’re coming. And they’re coming. And they’re coming.

They think they can really take down America. And this is it. So, people need to have their battle rifles and everything ready at their bedsides and you got to be ready because the media is so disciplined in their deception. Antifa attacked all these people at the White House, beat up reporters, beat up women, children, no coverage. And they’ve got discipline folks, they’ve got criminal discipline because they’re a bunch of followers."

I expected he'd throw a temper tantrum, but... that looks an awful lot like outright trying to incite domestic terrorism. If his name were Ahmed Al-Jiwaz rather than Alex Jones, people would say the above was a terrorist rant.

Well, Alice, I guess he was talking figuratively.

And btw, I still don't understand why he was banned from YouTube, but I recall that a certain Soros had promised he would have censored opponents on social media and platforms.

You're starting to sound like Alex Jones....Wait a second are YOU Alex Jones?! Did I just break the biggest Conspiracy on RF?!

On Facebook, it's Zuckerberg, and those he apoints to make such decisions, it being a private company. What part of this is problematic for you? If you don't like how Zuckerberg runs his company, you're free not to use it, hey, even start your own and host all the crazy rants you want.

Dude. Give. It. A. Rest. About Soros. Every fricken thread you bring him up, never with anything at all relevant to the topic.

I do not use it, but there is a principle at stake here.

I think it's probably more for the purpose of projecting a certain political image for public relations' sake. Especially since Facebook has been coming under fire lately. They seem to be extra careful and on guard against hackers, trolls, and anyone who might try to stir the poop. Perhaps there might be some short-run return or political capital in doing so (although in today's atmosphere, it may be a gamble).

I don't know if they have anything to hide. I think it's more a matter of political uncertainty and worry.

The "principle" is simple, Alex Jones violated the terms of service of a private company, and got booted. Simple.

Now, if Facebook were a government platform, you'd have a point. But they're not.

Yep, I admit it. Nonsense spouting trolls who speak in non sequiturs fray my nerves. Mea Culpa.

The video is unavailable in your link.

From what I gather, you seem to think that he has broken the law. If this is the case then he should be prosecuted by our fair and balanced legal system and if he is convicted by a jury of his peers, justice will prevail. If on the other hand he were found not guilty of the charge, he would be released without a stain on his character. What is wrong with that I ask you?

This man goes into great detail about the importance of Free Speech.

He gets to the crux of the issue at about 22 minutes in for those that don’t like watching videos.

Do we want to live in a world as this poor man finds himself?

Give Jones a can of spray paint and he can exercise his freedom of speech on any wall he wishes.

If I can exercise my right to protect my property he can. I don't know if that's an actually right that really exists, but I have no doubts he's gone on about it. And unlike his paranoid prepper crap of violence and doomsday and death and destruction, I'm going to hose him with gorilla glue, glitter bomb him, and hose him with fluorescent fluids, and tell him to explain that overly flamboyant look to his masculine macholy manly crowd.

True. They're left-leaning organizations all the same.
