US attempts to shutdown OWS online

The Occupy movement is about a week away from its third anniversary. A big part of the reason the movement is going strong is because of the financial contributions from people who share the same sentiment. OWS sought the services of AdBackers.com, a website that helps launch grassroots campaigns. Sergey Barr, founder of AdBacker.com, gives us his firsthand account with the US government trying to censor the OWS ads.

While Russia supports protests, USA censors OWS

@srs1800 i dont think everyone does know that. People seem to believe RT news is hard hitting honest journalism. I admit American news is crap, but RT is straight up propaganda. Most people on here dont agree though

[willythewildwino]

@leamese ahahha Russia supports protests? are you fucking serious? give your head a shake. You cant honestly believe that

[srs1800]

Everyone here knows that RT Network is conspiracy-theory propaganda (and anti-Semitic as well) created by Russian state-security (KGB)? Really!

Seems like a good guy, although he's trying to speak good English too hard lol.

Are you calling me weak?! Misogynist! Hehehehe ;-)

As to my wording...I was in a good mood and didn't want to introduce negative words into my day when I wrote the comment. But yes, "facilitated" is completely accurate.

Blessed Be

@TheGlynja You're welcome. ♥

I maintain that just because you may disagree with me does not make you 'confused'...I just hope we both know how the other came upon their view...mine comes from watching all this stuff closely for the last 4 decades and doing lots of homework to see how the cultural mind gets manipulated from many opposing forces...as longs as people believe the US Government is a business, those hoping it to be so will have undue influence and advantage...it is up to you and me to set such things straight.

@misslady1908 "Allow" is such a weak word in this context. I would say the government facilitated or caused the mortgage crisis with extremely low interest rates, guaranteeing Fannie May and Freddie Mac loans, and HUD threatening to prosecute lenders for discrimination if they didn't lend to people that couldn't pay the money back. But yes, that is a strategy to socialize housing.
