Though I don't typically agree with many of the tall-told tales of Mr. Jones and his cadre of supporting staff/guest list, I do think it strange that this website has made it a policy to deny that persuasion the liberty of manifesting itself in this forum. Tell me what in Mr. Jones words are so debilitating to freedom and the hopes that this movement apparently aspires to? I want your answers please!
I would also want to know the reason behind this censorship. I'm not a fan of everything Alex Jones, or of everything David Icke, but I do feel they have made significant contributions that help shed light on possible traps on the path to changing things for the good of all.

How about banning the police from pepperspraying their fellow Americans.
That is not related. Neither Ron.Paul nor Alex Jones condoned that.
In fact Ron.Paul the defended OWS movement and said Herman Cain was blaming the victims.

seems not healthy to censor anything, it then becomes same like msm. seems people should be free to speak what they will, and then let community determine what is important
Cencorship by an "OWS Website" (bullshit! "coughing") = Controlled Psyop. And calling people like Alex Jones a Fascist is as ridiculous as calling Joseph Stalin a Libertarian. THIS SITE IS SOOOOO OBVIOUSLY controlled by George Soros & the like, who could give a shit about equality, they only care about World Dictatorship disguised as "socialism". "Occupy Wall Street"....shit man, ...... you got the wrong target! Wall Street are the lowly foot soldiers of the realm....try occupying the Federal Reserve....or have George Soros & Michael Moore instructed against that!!??
Apparently OWS has not done any deep investigation into Alex Jones's website PrisonPlanet.com It exposes how the 99% are repressed and oppressed by the 1%. AlexJones is a great and courageous journalist who exposedthe annual Bilderberg Conference at The Bohemian Grove. This meeting was one of the ELITE 1% most sacred cows and he exposed it.Iin fact because of his courageous reporting much of the Occupy movement across the USA has been so much better informed. You may not be in 100% agreement with all of his opinions, nor am I ,but I certainly respect his courage. Alex Jones does not sensor his audience.Using the word Conspiracy Theorist in a way that neutralizes or dismisses any body that OWS does not agree with on all points will have serious consequences for the 99%. Think.Free Speech.Sincerely,Flagsintheair.
Hey people who hate where we are in America today... did you ever really LEARN and understand the Constitution and Bill of Rights? The further away we get from the principles laid out in those documents (Put together by conservative AND liberal voices) the worse off our country gets. COINCIDENCE?? I THINK NOT.

Crypto-fascist conspiracy theorist demagogues are no friend to freedom.
Dangerous propaganda is dangerous.

So to ignore it is the better option? Are you telling me that everything that comes out of government is 100 percent truthful? If not then there is a conspiracy.

Ad Hominem is no friend to freedom.
Who are u to decide for the rest of us? I'll match my I.Q. against yours any day of the week.
"I'll match my I.Q. against yours any day of the week"
Small mind and cock.
Really amusing, but is that the best u can do?
I, too, am concerned about the arbitrary exclusion of anyone. There is obviously a back story behind this prohibition that someone isn't telling. Let the Marketplace of Freedom of Speech determine whether he is "too hot to handle" or listen to.
I am progressive, and I second this sentiment. What the heck? Alex Jones, for all his foibles, has a lot of info and many, many guests on the frontlines of freedom, liberty and America. By taking this route, you are falling into the divide-and-conquer trap. Screw Duke and LaRouch, but Alex Jones is a great information source and his organization is crucial to the movement of liberating ideas. This really makes me concerned about what OWS is becoming.
Why don't you ban communists?? I don't promote any censorship because I believe in freedom of speech even if it's not popular, but seriously!
All this censorship does is divide people. If Occupy's goals are bringing people together to fight for a just cause, they're failing miserably. The moderators of this website will be partly to blame if Occupy fails at its attempts.
Excellent comment...As if there's not enough censorship coming from the 1%. This is a severe case of Stockholm syndrom.
They are censoring this thread RIGHT NOW: http://occupywallst.org/forum/ows-website-posting-rules-censorship/
Go contribute!
So.. the statement was found where?? And did it happen to say ,.. "This content is user submitted and not an official statement "
OWS protests people who mess with the constitution & bill of rights (like the little peppersprayer cop, or his paylords of Goldman Sachs, or the FED stealing 99%'s money via taxes, or FEMA and TSA harassing the population). - Dont fight Your neighbour, wake up!
Can I see evidence of FEMA harassing the population that doesn't rely on a debunked theory about concentration camps? <-- why AJ is dangerous.
FEMA's useless, it's the TSA that harasses. For the incompetence of FEMA, take a look at the hurricane Katrina situation. For TSA harassment, try flying 4 times a week...

They did not look into Ron.Paul who defended OWS movement and said Herman Cain was blaming the victims.

LaRouche does have a lot of intersting insights on the global finacial system, like him or not, he is worth a read from time to time.All this site is doing is going to cause the movement to splinter more to other sites that aren't censored.
A lot of people that are mad at Wall Street and are out protesting aren't interested in taking their ques from the Democratic or GOP establishment, and establishment friendly media. Don't like it? too bad. we all have just as much freedom of speech and the right to be out protesting too.
This site also has a problem with allowing people to mention Ron P a u l. If you enter his name it will be changed. I consider that censorhip. The name chnges to Ron Lawl.
If "OWS corporate" does not agree with something it is removed or modified.
That's not censorship. Mangling a presidential candidates name is mockery and it's repulsive -- having no place among mature debate about serious issues.
The people responsible for that 'feature' should be ashamed, and they should stop right away.
I believe it is a form of censorship.
Censorship -- the control of the information and ideas circulated within a society
Of course it is, I was making a point -- about degrees.
You idiots... you take down the motivation for the average person wanting to be a part of OWS. News flash for you... the people who want to censor us are the BIG BANKERS and their whore GOVERNMENTS. If this site sensors any site, this CANNOT be considered a grass roots movement for Freedom and Liberty anymore! Don't push aside the sleeping giant. We are all Americans and all being screwed. For example, OWS and ORIGINAL Tea Party have a lot in common.
OWS says: Corporations have way too much power.
Tea Party says: Government has way too much power.
Reality: Large corporations lobby government to have more power, and in return the government enacts laws and regulations favorable to large corporations.

Big mistake..AJ has millions of listeners all over the globe. This is insular thinking....
i dont know who alex jones is but obviously free speech is not one of ows demands or beliefs
one of his older documentaries

Banning reference to Alex Jones as "fascist" is...fascist.
It's correct - Alex Jones is a dangerous puppet opposition leader who works against OWS. We don't need such leaders. He takes your photo when you visit his infowars (via rented livestream channel) Wisdom is with you OWS - GO ahead!
Incorrect: Ahmed Maher http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/10/egypt-occupy-wall-street/ and Adbusters http://activistcash.com/organization_financials.cfm/o/36-adbusters are big money assets in an attempt to degrade OWS to a puppet opposition. The ridiculous ban on free speech tells it all.
OWS claims to have no leaders and claims that their movement is made from different groups with different agendas ranging from far left to far right on the political spectrum. The one uniting factor is claimed to be the opposition of the corruption in the relationship between Wall Street and and Government. YET, we can clearly see, with this censorship policy, that there are leaders that are firmly in control with a specific agenda for the overall movement.
Just to let you know, Alex jones is one of the few sources of information where we can get the intricate details that the MSM doesn't dare touch. This is a war of information and this censorship policy CLEARLY identifies on which side the leaders of this movement are.
I was on the brink of supporting this movement but you've been exposed for what you really are now so I hope your fake (or now co-opted) dissatisfaction movement dies. I just hope you haven't tarnished the image of protests for the future (real ones) that will follow in the coming years, but I'm sure that was one of the goal of this farce...
Well Spoken!!
With sorrow, I have to agree with you, but I hold out hope that reasonable leadership will emerge and make OWS what it should have been. Until then, I bid OWS a not-so-fond farewell.
well being some one that knows info wars pretty well I do know that Alex Jones would not agree with the no border,no amnesty for illegal immigrants and no guns for the citizens of the usa beleifs that OWS pushes,,but since Alex recently took money from the Koch bros he shows he is not trustworthy as for OWS taking money from Soros,,they are both wolves in sheep clothing
it is possible that those ridiculous lists of demands that were being posted were propaganda to make OWS look like fools....
Where is your PROOF AJ took money from the Koch brothers?? He is just as against the fake right as the fake left. SHOW ME.
go look it up for yourself but it was right before he got his new studio
Jones may have a bit of a Yahoo style, but his message and history are dead on accurate when it comes to:
End the Federal Reserve Central Banking Cartel Big Brother "Patriot Act" threats The Phoney 2 Party System and the coming Crash manipulated by Wall Street
To be against what he warns is to be ignorant, or too proud to appreciate that someone else can see through the mainstream lies too.
This is a time to unite forces, not splinter them. Whether you like "him"or not, Jones is a dedicated warrior for the cause.
Search his documentaries on Youtube, and tell me where he is going wrong?
