I was shocked to find out that this website is being censored. Posts that go against the mainstream media are being removed because they are considered "conspiracy theories". Posts for Ron Lawl are being taken down. If Occupy Wall Street is saying how important freedom of speach is, why are they censoring other people on their website!

I am referring to: "Read the Rules before Posting" above.

What censoring? Has anyone really took a look at the post on this forum if that is censoring according to the rulesI am Daffy Duck. Most true believes don't bother with the trashy posts anyways.

What is the difference between this site and the MSM limiting free speech? NONE

This is a forum devoted to fixing a disastrous financial system. Conspiracy theories are irrelevant and counter-productive. Besides, the website says it will remove these things and free speach is important for a country, not a specific forum.

At one point to even think that the financial system and their corrupting influences in Washington was seen as a conspiracy theory.

The lack of transparency in the government has served to only invite and propagate these conspiracy theories... and one of the few politicians who wants to shed light on some of these issues is RP (who knew that some of the theories were right eg. findings that came out in the first ever partial audit of the federal reserve).

But what does RP have to do with conspiracies?

Nothing, but they also don't support political campaigns, nor do they want this forum to be used for one

Though gaining a little more air time, RonPaul's anti-pre-emptive wars make him out to be feared by some such as Republicans (and Democrats) and those who profit from the wars--the same people who own corporations that fund the MSM through advertisements. This may be the reason why RonPaul gets so little time to speak in the GOP debates and is unfairly covered by MSM (something OWS can identify with).

For this reason, even guys like Jon Stewart supports fair air time for RonPaul. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-stewart-why-doesnt-ron-paul-get-his-shot-as-media-frontrunner/

This OWS website must be funded by someone and I'm sure is not a representation of all of OWS.. and so explains the censoring.

It's too bad that OWS is now being censored on the streets as seen with these horrible pepper spraying incidents.

It's all about thought control, baby! If you don't believe correctly, you are banned.

I wrote RON P A U L in my post above but it changed the name to Ron Lawl. Looks like this is more proof that Occupy Wall Street doesn't want comments that go against the mainstream media. Is OWS just an campaign organization being used to push the presidents agenda to tax the rich?
