Note the report in column 5: "Forced To Mourn Son Still Alive"
(A report about a German family who heard from a foreign broadcast that their son was not dead but was a POW in England. Listening to such broadcasts was prohibited by the Nazi government. It was a crime punishable by imprisonment and even death. This family was reported and arrested by the Gestapo, their fate is unknown to me.)
 
The above report is just a small glimpse into what happens in a totalitarian society where communications are banned or censored. To be fair ALL totalitarian societies throttle communications and only approved messages are allowed to be broadcast. I have added this commentary because while I was making this page a report came across my computer. It was almost as if current events were determined to merge with the voices of the past in an eerie warning of how what happened before was beginning to happen again. The report, "facebook removes video of Trump interview", was disturbing. It reports that the digital Nazis at facebook pulled a video interview of President Donald Trump from their site. They have decided that even hearing the voice of a former President, that they don't like, was too dangerous for free people to hear. Exactly like the Nazis decided that hearing foreign voices were too dangerous for their citizens to hear. One of Mark Zuckerberg's stormtroopers, calling herself Katelyn (who, like a coward, did not post her last name) sent Lara Trump the following message;

"We are reaching out to let you know that we removed content from Lara Trump's facebook page that featured President Trump speaking. In line with the block we placed on Donald Trump's facebook and instagram accounts, further content posted in the voice of Donald Trump will be removed and result in additional limitations on the accounts."

I should point out that facebook is a private company and can allow or disallow anyone for any reason from using their platform. With that said, everyone should be aware of who facebook does allow to utilize their platform. They allow terrorists like the Ayatollah Khomeini, murderers like Vladimir Putin, leftist hate mongers and vile anti-Semites like Louis Farrakhan, domestic terrorist groups like black lives (lies) matter, antifa and the genocidal communist Chinese to have use of their platform. I am reasonably sure that every filthy, degenerate rapper is also allowed to have a facebook page as well. These are just but a few examples of the type of people that facebook gives a voice to.

This clearly indicates who Mr. Zuckerberg and his stormtroopers stand with and who they stand against. One wonders, how many more warnings does this world need before something is done to stop this decent into the abyss?
