This horrific news is all part and parcel of the Empire's Ruling Class
attack on the Working Classes Freedom. While Donald Trump postures
and primps in front of the cameras, saying outrageous stuff, his well
greased Profiteers are robbing us blind...in the case of us blind
folk, blinder. Because we are forced to, or perhaps allow ourselves
to play by the Empire's rules, we will never win. At least six
decades of trying should have taught us that.

You may or may not be aware that the websites from which I get most of
my
articles, are in trouble. Google has changed their algorithms so that
when
people do searches, articles from those websites, websites like
Alternet,
Truthout, Popular Resistance, and Truthdig, don't appear in the results.
The
email digests from some of these websites, which I have been receiving,
are
disappearing. Reader Supported News has disappeared. Truthdig appears
only
once or twice a week. Yesterday, Truthdig did appear. But when I
attempted
to read an article, I kept getting a message that the website's
certificate
was faulty with a question, did I want to continue anyway? Even though I
kept saying yes. I was stalled at that point in the article with the
question reappearing until I just gave up. There are other changes as
well.
Many of the daily digest emails are in html which Outlook has difficulty
reading. Much of the ssame information which is in articles, appears in
podcasts in a less distilled manner, but all of the podcasts depend on
listeners' contributions to some extent or completely. I point this out
because I want you to realize that our ability to see and hear
information
that is different from what corporations and the government wants us to
hear, are diminishing. Many of my favorite websites are asking people to
spread their information through social media. However, Facebook and
Twitter, particularly Facebook, is quickly succumbing to government
pressure. There was an excellent report on TRN (The Real News Network)
the
other day, about the insanity of the congressional investigation of what
are
purported to be, Russian ads on Facebook. The TRN reporter who was at
the
hearings and Max Blumenthal, countered the assertions that you are
hearing
about these account from mainstream media with ease. But the upshot of
all
of this is that our freedom of the press and free speech, are fast
disappearing. And I suspect that email lists will soon follow because of
this trend.
