Facebook Deleted 9/11 Truthers & OWS Activists Posts from Aug31 to Sept18, 2012

September 20th, 2012 -- Max Mogren reporting from Jackson Hole, WY

Two big Anniversaries come up in the first two weeks of September each year from here on out.  September 11th, 2012 marked the 11th Anniversary of the most dastardly and deceptive false-flag, inside-job attack in American history, and September 17th, 2012 maked the 1st Anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street Movement.

Activists and visionaries on the blogosphere and social networks get exceptionally fired up about exposing the ongoing coverup of what really happened on 9/11 and the disgusting police state crackdown on dissent that has plagued America since the Occupy Movement first showed up a year ago.  If Police Departments and Federal Agencies hadn't violently evicted occupations shortly after they showed up, a growing legion of occupiers would still be on the scene across the continent and around the world, and our world would be a more aware and rapidly changing place.  Instead, we now see the crackdown on dissent and activism blatantly rearing up in cyberspace.

9/11/01: NEVER FORGET THE MOST BLATANT TREASON IN HISTORY.
This morning it was brought to my attention that many activists and groups timelines had been altered, eliminating all of their activity between August 30th and September 17th.  I immediately checked my profile (I generally share 20-30 links daily) and LOLed when I realized my profile had been tampered with too.  Here you can see a post from Tuesday, September 18th and the previous post is on a friend shared with me on August 31st: two and a half weeks earlier.  One hundred+ posts (many of them "commemorating" 9/11, supporting #OWS, rooting out corruption, and exposing truth) are just GONE.

And if you think this is in any way shape or form acceptable, heed the words of The Lorax in my first post this side of the purge...

ACTIVISTS' POSTS VANISHED FOR TWO WEEKS IN SEPTEMBER: AUGUST 31st-SEPTEMBER 18th 2012

Cyber Censorship: Covert Ops Against Independent Media in the US' "War on Information"

***
“World War Three will be a guerrilla information war
with no division between military & civilian participation.”
—Marshall McLuhan, 1968
***


I have had the privilege to work at Collapse Network for the last 11 months, and it really has been a treat: I get paid to tell the truth and stick it to "The Man".  How many people get to do that for a living?!


CollapseNet is primarily a news service, and our methods are pretty simple: we sift through the global mainstream media and pull nuggets of truth from the distracting and misleading bullshit corporate-owned, advertising-funded, establishment sources pass off as news.


Our World News Desk is updated daily with dozens of stories from reputable sources around the globe which give our members a clear idea of what's really going on. Our researchers perpetually scan the internet for news, and to the best of our knowledge there is no other website in existence that does what we do as well as we do it.


Whether you agree that industrial civilization is headed for collapse or not, it's impossible to dispute that our stories are reputably sourced and that we uphold high standards of journalistic integrity.


Over the past eleven months, I have seen our membership numbers almost double and our average daily visitors more than triple.  It is inspiring to know that we are reaching an ever growing number of people as we promote a reality-based worldview.


Unfortunately, the US Goverment has a declared "War on Information" (which they're admittedly losing), and cyber attacks have plagued CollapseNet -- and other independent media sources -- for the last several months.  If not for our brilliant IT staff with a combined 50 years of experience, CollapseNet would have been taken offline permanently a long time ago.


Since the Occupy Movement has really gained momentum, these attacks against CollapseNet have increased in frequency and intensity.  We now have an IT expert monitoring the site 24/7, and experience multiple DDOS attacks daily.


Over the last two weeks attacks have become more creative, and we are experiencing vicious attacks on staff computers.   Some of our computers have been sabotaged and are being used to launch DDOS attacks... against CollapseNet!


This slows our computers to a crawl  and makes CollapseNet's firewall cut off access to the site.  It has even resulted in some of our IP addresses being flagged for "hacker" activity and subsequently shut down by service providers.  Just last night, one staff member's router was literally fried while he was experiencing attacks.


These attacks are clearly issuing from a very powerful and coordinated source.  The nature of CollapseNet's content and the services we provide makes it pretty obvious that a large corporation or the Federal Governement is behind these attacks.


Intimidating, annoying, sabotaging, and shutting down the independent media is clearly Treason which violates the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution declaring that no one shall infringe upon the freedom of the press.


If you think Free Speech is essential to a Free Society, please support CollapseNet and other independent media.  At times like this, we need all the help we can get.

Long Term Occupier Gear Checklist: #OccupyTogether, #OccupyWallStreet, #OccupyLA, #OccupyDC, #OccupyChicago, #OccupyMN, #OccupyPortland, #OccupySF, #OccupyAmerica, #OccupyHouston, #OccupyBoston, #OccupySeattle, #OccupyUSA, #OccupyPlanetEarth


Compiled by Max Mogren, OilFreeFun.com

In this Campaign of Occupation, it is crucial to stay healthy, well-rested, and comfortably peaceful.  As camps spring up around the world, we should strive to make them the safest and most accommodating communities we can envision: Prototypes for what will come after the Revolution succeeds.

When we come prepared for long term occupation, our encampments show that we mean business.  Also, creating a Welcoming Home is crucial to keeping occupiers warm, hydrated, well fed, and productive.

Inadequate equipment could limit the successes of the 99% Movement.

With adequate equipment, occupying will be easier and more enjoyable than the oppressive lifestyles we’ve dealt with since Infinite Growth Economics died and the corrupt commenced looting the collapsing global economic system.

***

Load up a backpack, put your crap in storage, quit paying rent, and hit the road to the nearest occupation.  You’ll make a bunch of new friends, learn a lot about everything, gather stories to tell your grand-kids, and Save the Friggin’ Planet.  You’ll also save a heck of a lot of money by living rent free and eating communally.

No job?  No problem... in fact, being "out of work" now is one step in our Path to Resolution.

Hopefully this list helps you get the right gear together.  Incidentally, all of these items would also be useful in the event of an ugly revolution or full-tilt civilizational COLLAPSE.  At this stage in the game, if Peaceful Occupation doesn’t force the changes we need, it’ll boil down to either one or the other.  It's just a matter of time, really...

Long Term Occupier Gear Checklist

(general list for all climates… please add suggestions in the comments.)


BASIC ESSENTIALS

*Sandals or Slippas for hot days and downtime

*Sporty (ideally “Trail Running”) Shoes

*Lots of SOCKS

*Durable, Comfortable, Layerable Clothes

*Wool Sweater… retains warmth when wet

*Rain Gear… a good rain coat or winter parka could come in really handy

*Down Jacket or Extra Sweater… look bigger while being warmer

*Sun Hat and Cold Weather Hat... also hides

*Scarf… useful in a variety of situations

*Sun Glasses… the goofier, the better

*Gas Mask… they’re cheap ($12), fun to play with, and you never know…

*Towel(s)

*Laundry Bag

*Duct Tape or Gorilla Tape… to fix holes in anything, hang signs, etc!

*Cordage/Rope… for hanging tarps, signs, etc.

*Tarps… you can’t possibly bring too many

*Tents… big cheapos are great in a warm climate but you’ll want a decent tent as winter sets in… you can always throw a tarp on top of a tent to make it more resilient.

*Sleeping Bag (ideally a Double Sleeping Bag) … you’re going to make lots of new friends: be ready to accommodate one.

*Foam Pads… or an even more comfortable experience invest in some affordable interlocking Anti-Fatigue Floor Mats which are also great for sleeping on

*Wool Blanket… retains heat, even when wet

*Sanitary, Durable Water Bottle… stainless steel is best because it doesn’t retain odors or flavors

*Spork and Bowl… communal cooking and meals is the name of the game for a low-hassle, long-term occupation

*Toothbrush… and Toothpaste

*Deodorant… (optional)

*BOOKS… in NYC is seems like the Camp Library is one of the coolest services being offered

*Headlamp… see in the dark!!!

*Foldable Solar Panel… you’ll make lots of friends if you can charge people’s gizmos.  Odds are businesses near your occupation won’t take too kindly to loitering Chargers.

*Headphones and/or Ear Plugs… useful while trying to sleep in a crowd or for a little “alone time” with your music.

*Trash Bags… useful for lots of things

*Large Backpack… a quality backpacking pack in dark/earthy colors is ideal

*Tote bags… aka reusable shopping bags, which are great for carrying lots of stuff

*Lots of food… contribute to the camp stockpile by bringing whatever you can.

*Large Cooler… great for sitting on and storing anything that needs to be dry and protected (or wet and frosty!)

*DELUXE: Crazy Creek Power Lounger Chair… sometimes a back rest feels really good, also doubles as a great sleeping pad

INDIVIDUAL MEDIA KIT

*Sign-making Tools… markers, paints, cardboard, poster board, posts, tape, etc.  "The thing about hand-written signs is that unless you go out of your way, they end up looking like the scrawl of the Unabomber."  --Jenna Orkin... MAKE QUALITY SIGNS!

*Laptop/TabletPC/SmartPhone/etc… Social Media is our best friend.  "World War Three will be a guerilla information war, with no division between military and civilian participation." -- Marshall McLuhan

*Camera… consider a durable, weatherproof, wearable, and pole mountable POV Camera.  Shoot hands free by wearing it on your head or mount it on a pole for hard to get shots like a group watching a speech or some confused cops walloping on your fellow occupiers.

*All the cords and accessories you’ll need to keep your personal media machine powered up and operating.

ENCAMPMENT ORGANIZERS

*Support and Storage Vehicles… for storing and transporting food, water, fuel, equipment, etc

*First Aid Kits

*Trash Cans… and trash bags

*Kitchen Equipment and Supplies… stoves, grills, propane tanks, pots, pans, utensils, buckets, scrubbers, dish soap, water tanks, coolers, etc.

*Portable Generator... Honda's are reliable, quiet, and buying one supports the struggling Japanese

*Small Solar/Wind Power Setup

*Portable High Speed WiFi System

*Portable toilets… or some sanitation system that works given your location

*Lots of food…

*Even more water… or at least a system to replenish water supplies to 5 gallon jugs, 55 gallon drums, etc.

*Legal Defense Specialists… look for disgruntled lawyers!  There are plenty out there.

*Social Networking Media Team...

*Medical Personnel...

*Resupply Network...

 *And So Forth...
