    That's pure B.S. --all at once? Please. This was a concerted effort to knock him off the social media table, plain and simple. Now, if we want to argue if it's right to do that or not, be my guest. But, Infowars certainly did not break all the rules of all the social media sites in one day.

    What are the odds that he breaks all the sites’ TOS in one day? Highly unlikely. Not a fan of his but this does look fishy. He does NOT have the right to a congressional hearing over it though. I have to side with companies’ right to refuse service. Maybe more conservative versions of these services should be discussed more.

    Absolutely concur. For all of the sites to do it at the same time is no coincidence, definitely planned and coordinated, and I would give good odds that @Broker hit is squarely, "Me thinks it's more about money and "who" may have interests in keeping the competition out of their market." Yes, he was wronged but a congressional hearing? I think not.

    I used to occasionally hear him on the radio. As I avoid all "social media" like the plague (though I do watch things on Youtube), his being removed makes no difference to me. He still has his radio program, and can get on some TV station or other. Net effect on his rantings...... nada.

    Here is an example - today - of where Infowars is reporting something that will either not be reported or delayed a week or so by other media outlets: Antifa Vows “Bullets” For Political Enemies; Media Ignores Threat

    This is AntiFa upping the rhetoric to lethal force. Keep in mind that anyone to the right of Socialism is their definition of a Fascist. This isn't tin foil or conspiracy click bait.

    InfoWars is like a really, really bad restaurant that periodically does something really well.

    Damn, that's a great analogy.

    Folks just don't care. They "think" they are informed, they "think" they can figure this shit out, but they keep on voting for the same two party's and they keep watching corporate media channels, they keep ignoring the warning signs, and they keep believing it will all get better. The problem is, they don't "think" at all --their masters are doing the thinking for them.

    Antifa, child sex trade, human sex trafficking, what's really happening in S. Africa, you name it. Alternative media (the "crazy" people) are the only ones delivering actual news to people, every day. Real investigative journalism, not filtered and censored and pre-approved corporate propaganda.

    Yes it is. The question then becomes "How many times must I puke before I give up trying for a proper scallopini?"

    Interesting...I wonder if it's GMO if there are no seeds? And, that's kind of funny to have oranges imported to Florida. :)
    I do miss living there. The SW coast was my paradise.

    We do see California oranges in our North Florida stores. I prefer native Florida oranges. They seem jucier and sweeter to me. It's a matter of trade, and the fact of croploss some seasons due to weather.

    The further a fruit has to be shipped the more compromises there will be to quality. It even gets down to the specific varieties as some are designed for shipping, others for less distance, and some for juicing, canning, etc.. Any fruit or vegetable will lose moisture during shipping.

    InfoWars is being attacked at this time and the site is down. I did hear an interesting term as applied to fakebook, google, twitter etc as corporate naziism. Whatever you want to call it, we are in a very dangerous time in this country when PC as far as the left is concerned trumps the Constitution.

    Patriot humour? Sheeeeit, the meme creator evidently doesn't know very much about the Constitution.

    Firstly the PRC doesn't have a 1A equivalent to America^s Constitution.

    The 1A only applies to government control of freedom of the press and freedom of expression. Private corporations, as persons are not strictly bound by the 1A. The 14A may affect businesses offering public accomodations, (equal protectiion laws) but I'm doubtful that Alex Jones could make much of a case on those grounds. Loud mouth, right wing conspiracy theorist, whack jobs aren't a protected class......yet. :rolleyes:

    My take on the AJ situation is...too bad, so sad.:cry:

    Zimmy Wait, I'm not ready!

    If Jones is such a freedom fighter, how come anonymous, q-anon ect aren't out there hacking youtube ect out of existence?

    I think Google employs some of the best in the field, not sure hacking will do much aside from annoy some people and possibly land them in jail or a job with the NSA.
