Renegade Editor’s Note: As you likely know, I
do not like it when organizations like the ADL are compared to “Nazis” in their
censorship of dissenters, although it does serve to show chosenite hypocricy,
as they are behaving similarly to how they say the “Nazis” acted. Actually, I
don’t remember any atrocity propaganda about “Nazis” putting jews into an open
air concentration camp like Gaza and then bombing them with white phosphorous,
spraying them with skunk spray, cutting off their water supply, etc. Anyway, it
is good to see people who are not in line with our way of thinking starting to
speak out against the ADL and their criminal conspirators.

If you are reading this, that means that articles that speak against
the activities of the Anti-Defamation League are not being automatically
scrubbed from the internet.
Yet.
In a foreboding sign that the free expression of opinion on the
internet is too much of a threat to the powerful elite of our
society, the Anti-Defamation League is leading the charge in turning their own
subjective opinions on ‘hate speech’ into the absolute rule of
Internet law. As this
Cnet article reports,
Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft,
among others, are joining with the ADL to form a Cyberhate Problem-Solving Lab, the companies and
the civil rights group said Tuesday. They’ll exchange ideas and develop
strategies to try to curb hate speech and abuse on
the companies’ various platforms and across the internet.
“These companies have an added responsibility to do everything within their
power to stop hate from flourishing on their watch,” ADL CEO Jonathan
Greenblatt said in a statement. “We look forward to tackling this pressing
challenge together.”
Wow. A Cyberhate Problem-Solving Lab. What heroes of selfless service to
humanity.
Like Monika Bickert, Facebook’s head of global policy, who said in a
statement that “some of the best minds in engineering will work alongside the
ADL to help us rise to the occasion.” What occasion? The threat of
the power that the proliferation of free speech on the internet is giving
to individual human beings fighting for truth and justice.
Who Died and Made Them King?
It is disconcerting to me that we are moving into a time where a once
free and neutral internet has suddenly come more and more under the control of
powerful dictatorial forces. Yes, dictatorial. The ADL is marching into
the internet cyberscape with the sense of entitlement to DICTATE what
should and shouldn’t be said by the rest of us. Doesn’t this mimic that actions
of a certain dictator from the past that the ADL would claim to have been
zealously opposed to? (I won’t name names for fear of triggering some
sophisticated ADL-Google-keyword-cyber-censoring mechanism).
The obvious fact is that the cabal of organizations that will be
sitting down at the Cyberhate Problem-Solving Lab will likely make little
mention of the impact of cyber-bullying and online hate speech on human
individuals. They will be more prone to focus on how to
continue hiding crimes against humanity
perpetrated by the global elite since time immemorial, crimes like
massive fraud, slavery, pedophilia, torture, and murder. And why would these
organizations be motivated to hide these crimes? Because they are now
controlled by the very global elite who are perpetrating them in the first
place.
The War on Hate
The whole narrative of a group that self-identifies as having the
authority ‘to curb hate speech and abuse’ on the internet is deeply flawed and
even hypocritical. And employing tactics in the same mold as the failed
wars on drugs, cancer, and terrorism further gives them away. These are nothing
more than tactics of obfuscation of what is really going on.
Human growth is not advanced by attempts to stifle, destroy, or
eradicate darkness. As I discussed in my article ‘Let’s
Discard The ‘Right’ To Be Insulted By Free Speech,’ we do
not evolve by stopping people from expressing any hatred or other
negative emotions that are deep inside them, we evolve by allowing people
to express themselves freely and becoming immune to their ‘offensive’ remarks
by learning not to take them personally.
Hate speech in itself cannot demean the object of hatred, it only reveals
the unhealed emotions of its source. And the more we allow these unhealed
emotions a chance to be let out, the more space we create for personal and
collective healing.
In that regard, attempts to actually do something positive about human
hatred through censorship is at best naive, and in most cases like this
one, it turns out to be a vehicle of domination for those who would wish to
maintain and expand control over information and the self-expression of
individuals.
The Need to Move Off These Platforms
The ADL aside, internet corporations like Facebook that continue
to delve more deeply into censorship are playing a bit of a risky game. Perhaps
many of them feel that they are ‘too big to fail,’ in the sense that they
believe they are too essential to the lives of most people to suddenly get
abandoned en masse. Perhaps, for now, that is true. But I’m not
sure that they should really be messing with an Awakening Community that is
growing larger by the heartbeat.
