Recently many social media users across the spectrum have witnessed this week the largest broad internet crack down of Free Speech. Social media sites like Facebook , Twitter , Youtube and others have begun regulating their private platforms of what would be considered polarizing and angry content. These private corporations who opened up their platforms to the public are now claiming they have all the justification in the world because the platforms are still privately owned and not owned by the general public. Some would say this attempt to reign in inflammatory rhetoric is long over due , but now that it has gained the support of politicians and activist groups the tech giants cannot ignore the majority that wants it controlled.
So as example " Youtube " owned by Google , has de-monetized several Youtube accounts and have removed the accounts from search engines. The account owners can post their content yet they will not be able to advertise or gain subscribers because they have been removed from the " worldwide web " search engines. Many account holders are retreating to sites like Patreon.com but who knows if the regulatory actions will stop there. With the intent of the tech giants one would assume the cleansing of the internet will be the entire internet.
Also recently other nations have conducted complete internet blackouts. Complete denial of access of the internet. https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/internet-blackouts-rise-government-imposed-shut-downs-190614091628723.html Recently in Sudan the internet was shutdown. And many other countries are conducting the same rash moves. Other countries like Syria , China , Vietnam either block most of the internet or all of it completely. Our world is essentially going back in time. We can imagine countries like Syria and China being concerned of the internet because they have massive tyrannical control over their population. But who would ever imagine this to occur within the United States of America. Where we are suppose to be the " Land of the Free ".
https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/448820-tech-giants-head-down-dangerous-censorship-path The Hill today also did a article of the recent crack down. They also state this is something the tech giants allowed to occur over time and became a festering disaster. Now nothing can be done and not escape it looking like censorship of Free Speech. And something that is against our American ideals upon what our fathers have set forth in the United States Constitution.
We hope our blog itself does no fall victim to the ax.

YouTube engages in censorship and de-monentizes conservative Free Speech.
https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/3k37yk/youtube-miserably-fails-to-explain-why-it-didnt-ban-steven-crowder-for-antagonizing-carlos-maza
Prior to posting this article Youtube's policies were read so we would have a accurate and informed position. This post may not reflect your views or policies but we reserve our rights and freedoms given per the United States Constitution thereof.
The Conservative Youtube sensation Steven Crowder gets first banned but then de-monentized. Mainly because of his what we know of as Free Speech. It seems Youtube has joined the censorship band wagon if you speak against the liberal left agenda. Now whether your a leftist or a part of the right , being able to share your views and avoid oppressive censorship should be the norm. But recently after a meeting at the White House suddenly many social media giants are censoring many inflammatory right wing , conservative venues. You would think that if viewers don't like what they are viewing they would just avoid and not view the media. But those who are on the left are viewing the content and then intimidating the social media giants to censor anything they may find offensive or speaks against their views. With the intent of silencing anything they don't like.
Youtube is a social media platform which is used for income by many people worldwide. Or just to add their videos for entertainment value. In conclusion it is their venue or platform and are able to do with it what they will. I.e. owned by Google. But it is clear that all conservative channels and prepper channels and the like have been targeted by Youtube due to their content and being said not " in line with Youtube's values and ethics ". And Youtube is aware that with those they are finding against their views receive economic income from their channels intentionally de-monentize the channels to hurt the income revenue made. In hopes these conservative speakers fade away.
Youtube has also altered their algorithm's so the channels will not come up in the search engines. It is definitely a active denial of allowing Free Speech and Freedom of Expression. And we actually wonder who else is being electronically targeted by the those who seek to stifle the freedoms.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMRxoFJPZiBcxgFzxN0ao-w " Slightly Offensive " is a right wing channel that has been targeted among many more for the so called " offensive in nature " content. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQMb7c66tJ7Si8IrWHOgAPg " Liberty Hangout " is another conservative channel that has been regulated by Youtube. Both channels are found to be informative and of value. They do bring knowledge and expose the crazy ideology of those who seek to oppress them. And hence they are targeted.
We like the enforcement of everyone's civil rights. Not just one community and exclude another. And we discourage any actions that force the acceptance of what you decide to do in the bedroom. That should most definitely be private information. If this activity is made public you should always know you risk public opinion that may not be favorable to your beliefs.

Are you a agent of hate or using free speech? Facebook decides.
Recently revealed Facebook is monitoring and labeling those who may have an opposing view against the social media norm ( per say ) or what is portrayed society's norm on or offline. Also Facebook is said to not only be tracking dissenters via their platform but also offline as well. Among these individuals deemed " Hate Agents " Facebook is likely tracking those who we purposely label as people haters or extremists who dare to advertise their hateful rhetoric via social media.
In a story published by Daily Beast , spoke about how people being doxxed after publicly speaking against immigration and later Facebook using those public statements later to effectively ban individuals associated with " Proud Boys " ( considered a alt right hate group ). from their platform. And helping media outlets to perform publicized hit jobs on the individuals identified. https://www.thedailybeast.com/doxxing-its-like-hacking-but-legal .
Does this labeling seem to have a liberal or left leaning view on societal , political ideology to basically identify the opposing advocates? It seems to have a resounding Yes answer. Is this right for this type of Orwellian , 1984 tactic to be used? No , but to be expected. We note it does violate the principals of free speech. Hence how this article made it on our blog.

Governor Ducey signs emergency 70% SB1310 Some inmates released tomorrow.
Governor Doug Ducey signed SB1310 June 8 , 2019.
The bill seen as an emergency bill deals with those who were convicted for possession or use of marijuana or dangerous narcotics. Not to include the transport or manufacture of. The law states that seen as an emergency bill that means it takes effect the day after it is signed by the governor.
A statement received by Arizona Department of Corrections Director Charles Ryan , said " that some inmates will be released tomorrow. Others will have to wait 15 days ". The bill reads that earned credit days will change from every 6 days served 1 day is given , to 7 days served 3 days given towards early release. Which equates to 70% time served instead of the 85% time served requirement.
If our readers remember HB2270 died early and didn't have a chance and essentially was poorly written by legislators.

Arizona Prisons in Crisis Mode
Numerous reports of locks not working at the Lewis Prison Complex where there was also a hostage situation few years prior https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/southwest-valley-breaking/2018/12/26/arizona-state-prison-complex-lewis-inmate-takes-employee-hostage/2415676002/
2006 , now a video leaked by their own sergeant reveals inmates setting fires. https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/renewed-pressure-on-governor-ducey-to-take-action-on-prison-director The video has been leaked because it was discovered Department of Corrections was making a attempt to cover up the security issues.
Guards were told to not intervene and stop the inmates. Guards were present and watched the inmates as the fires were lit. This is just a series of issues that have plagued Arizona Department of Corrections. AZDOC has also just recently let go the healthcare provider Corizon due to lack of care and not providing proper treatment to inmates.
The latest leak of video has now prompted two AZDOC officials to resign. https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/two-top-arizona-department-of-corrections-officials-plan-to-retire-at-the-end-of-the-month But should the resignations not stop with these two. Many are saying Director of Arizona Department of Corrections Charles Ryan should resign as well. The two officials are being allowed to retire. Which means they will be receiving a monthly retirement check. Why are they not being held accountable for their actions. Inmates have needlessly died on their watch. Yes they were incarcerated but there is still a expectancy of care. We will follow up and keep our readers updated.

No Reintegration from Incarceration for you. Prison Penalty.
What can be best describe as the Prison Penalty this article is about how our society , our neighbors make it very hard for formerly incarcerated individuals return to society without a massive stigma. Prisons run a annual cost of 80 billion for the United States. Considering we are leading the world in incarceration of its people. Everyday approximately ten thousand inmates are released daily and 650,000 annually. Two thirds of those released annually are unfortunately rearrested and return to prison within three years. Why is this? How is this possible? What challenges do felons face? Economic considerations , employment concerns , housing restrictions , denial of social programs for those who qualified prior to incarceration now are disqualified mostly due to violent or drug related crimes and sex crimes.
The U.S. Department of housing and urban development have exclusionary policies that restrict certain felons more so today than days of old. Even though this violates the Fair Housing Act. Many landlords and municipal governments are encouraged to still have restrictions and deny felons residence.
Employment for felons is a very difficult aspect also. Employers have an easier way of screening would be applicants today with the assistance of Google and social media. It allows instant information on a persons past and whether they were incarcerated in the past and for what. There was a campaign that was popular during the presidency of President Obama called " Ban the box ". This was a effort to remove the box next to the question " Were you formerly arrested or convicted of a felony? " If a person was they would check the box. Removing this " box " was a attempt to give those with a criminal record and made bad decisions in their past , have a fresh second chance. Some opponents of this campaign said this posed a security risk for the work force and the general public. I.e. You wouldn't want Hannibal Lector serving Sushi. The employer upon hiring the felon accepts the responsibility of that felon's actions. It also has been noted that most businesses who have hired felons find that they outperform the employee's that were not ever incarcerated.
A study conducted by the Center of American Progress https://www.americanprogress.org/ found one in three Americans have a criminal record. Such a frightening statistic shows us the sobering reality that half of the children in America have at least one parent with a criminal record. The United States leads the world concerning a nation with the highest percentage of its population incarcerated. Modern media define this as " Mass Incarceration " or " For Profit Prison ". https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/ We are suppose to be the Land of the free. " Give me liberty or give me death " Patrick Henry March 23rd 1775. During the Second Virginia convention at Saint Johns Church. Our founding fathers have to be flipping in their graves seeing how our nation has destroyed our citizens liberties. Whether if your African American , Native American , White , Chinese etc. This stigma is shared among all nationalities. People are not perfect in the good Lord's eyes so we are prone to make mistakes in life.
Do you have that neighborhood watchdog? That patrols the neighborhood and snoops and regulates everyone's yards? https://noblepig.com/2008/04/are-you-being-watched-by-your-neighbors/ This happens in many communities throughout America. More so in environments where there are more retiree's than not. These are those who make it very clear who has a criminal record or not. They further the stigma against felons and hold the " Holier than thou " mindset. We all know they are not but that doesn't stop them from appearing proactive to be securing the area like some desperate security guard. Many times those who were formerly incarcerated , rehabilitated and received their Civil Rights have some promising ground to stand on. You have the right to privacy. Freedom of speech , press , expression , religion , assembly and petition https://billofrightsinstitute.org/founding-documents/bill-of-rights/ .
In conclusion those who are felons and released back into the world seem to have the cards stacked against them more than ever. They need to be very positive and not allow the restrictions snowball into a monster snowstorm. Seek education and continue education till the day the good Lord takes you. Education is key to success. It opens many doors that would never have been opened otherwise. Even if you don't have your high school diploma or GED. There are programs in your community that do not discriminate against anyone. If someone ever tells you no , go at it in a different direction. And to your best ability don't listen to the noise and the haters. They were not part of your sentencing. Don't give them the platform to hate or put that stigma on you that holds you back.
Here are some local options for those who need that step up.

Parkland School Safety officer faces 11 charges.
The Parkland School shooting was yet another gross tragedy that we are facing far to common in America. It has been literally school shooting after school shooting. Several , but not enough schools are taking action. Arming the teachers in some cases and other remedies. Our kids are getting combat action in their own school before even going off to war in the military. In case in point the spineless deputy of Broward County , Florida Scot Peterson now faces eleven charges because of his inaction at the Parkland School Shooting.
Deputy Peterson was the only armed person at the Parkland School on February 14th , 2018. Assailant Nikolas Cruz entered the school and killed seventeen. Becoming the deadliest school shooting in the United States , Cruz likely achieved his notorious goal. But as for Deputy Peterson he hid at the base of some stairs according to court documents of Deputy Peterson's statement. He failed to enter the school and perform as a law enforcement officer and stop the deadly threat to students. Agents of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement stated " Deputy Peterson did absolutely nothing to mitigate the threat posed at the school ".
When all is said and done former Deputy Peterson 56 years old , could potentially receive 96 years of incarceration. We will be following this and will update our readers.
