Is this FB shadow banning?

Posted on April 30, 2021 by Walter H. Schneider

Is this FB shadow banning? On 2021 04 29 I posted a link to an ABC article on my FB timeline. 19 hours later the posting had not received a single like or comment. Here is a screen shot of the posting: Given that it is a hot topic for which I had wanted to start a discussion thread, and that I have close to 3000 FB friends, it seems hardly possible that almost a whole day later there has not been a single like or comment on the initial FB posting. The posting is listed in my FB activity log. I have no problem with accessing it on my … Continue reading →

FB censorship reaches absurd levels

Posted on April 25, 2021 by Walter H. Schneider

FB censorship reaches absurd levels. Today I tried to post a comment on a FB-friend’s timeline. Facebook prevented me from doing so, twice, without offering an explanation. Here is the comment that offended Facebook. My previous comment vanished into the black void. To put the COVID-19 pandemic [în India] into context, have a look at the appended graph (interactive at its source). Source of appended graph: https://tinyurl.com/4vb87562 The curious aspect of that is that not even the fact that the graph came from a reputable source (Our World in Data), and that the data displayed in the graph comes from an impeccable source (Johns Hopkins University) prevented Facebook from censoring … Continue reading →

FB censorship intrudes into family life

Posted on April 23, 2021 by Walter H. Schneider

FB censorship intrudes into family life but not only that. In the name of political correctness, it censors the truth and not merely opinions. The other day, on Facebook, I shared a photo that showed a car with a sheet of plywood stuck in the windshield.  The caption was, “Was gonna go through insurance but sold the plywood and bought a brand new car.” Lumber prices have gone through the roof. The caption of the photo is almost too true to be funny. My daughter shared the photo and posted it at her FB time line, as the initial posting for a new discussion thread. She explained there to someone … Continue reading →

Support, a euphemism for censorship

Posted on April 11, 2021 by Walter H. Schneider

Updates2021 04 11: to show  screen shot of FB spam notification 2021 04 12: to describe the next stage of FB censorship Support, a euphemism for censorship — A “support message” is not a support message when FB sends it to its clients. That is when the  support message is a notification that a comment a FB client had wanted to post in a FB discussion thread will not be displayed by FB. The other day I wanted to post a comment but found that it never made its appearance in the FB discussion thread it had been intended for. Today I received a Facebook “support message” that solved the … Continue reading →

Recovering All the Past with Amaury de Riencourt

Posted on April 10, 2021 by Walter H. Schneider

Recovering All the Past with Amaury de Riencourt, a review by Frank Zepezauer (first published in the Jan/Feb 2000 issue of The Liberator) Recovering All the Past with Amaury de Riencourt By Frank Zepezauer, Resident Philosopher In 1974, Amaury de Riencourt wrote a book which helped to recover a past that feminists were busily trashing. It was Sex and Power in History[1]. The title is somewhat misleading. Feminists at the time were trashing the entire past, all of humanity’s story going back to our departure from the higher primates. Which meant not only all of history, what has been written, but all of pre-history everything that happened before the written … Continue reading →

Recovering the American Past with Brian C. Robertson

Posted on April 9, 2021 by Walter H. Schneider

Recovering the American Past with Brian C. Robertson, a review by Frank Zepezauer (first published in the Mar/Apr 2000 issue of The Liberator), presents information about gender roles that modern feminism opposes, censors, or derogates. Recovering the American Past with Brian C. Robertson by Frank Zepezauer, resident philosopher Have you ever heard of the National Congress of Mothers? Until recently I didn’t know about them myself and I’ve spent a lot of time studying women’s organizations. It so happens that the NCM was actually the biggest women’s lobby in American history. Founded during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, it had 190,000 members by 1920 and over one million by 1930. The National Organization for Women, … Continue reading →

The 1966 Agenda of the National Organization of Women (NOW)

Posted on April 5, 2021 by Walter H. Schneider

The 1966 Agenda of the National Organization of Women (NOW) was only the first of many such agendas and has undergone numerous changes and transitions since the first in the long series was published. During the 1990s, I downloaded the 1966 agenda of NOW, because I feared that at some time in the future the agenda wouldn’t be available at the NOW web site anymore, either because NOW will become defunct, or because NOW might find their 1966 agenda to become an embarrassment, or both.  The 1966 Agenda is quoted here unabridged, except for the comments I provided after each of the portion of the quoted text of the 1966 … Continue reading →

76 years after the end of WWII – still no peace treaty with Germany?

Posted on April 4, 2021 by Walter H. Schneider

76 years after the end of WWII there is still no peace treaty with Germany. Will there ever be one? Let’s wait and see. “Following the German military leaders’ unconditional surrender in May 1945, the country lay prostrate. The German state had ceased to exist, and sovereign authority passed to the victorious Allied powers…. The Soviets unilaterally severed the German territories east of the Oder and Neisse rivers and placed these under the direct administrative authority of the Soviet Union and Poland, with the larger share going to the Poles as compensation for territory they lost to the Soviet Union. The former provinces of East Prussia, most of Pomerania, and … Continue reading →
