I just had Luke Rudowski on Anarchast to talk about what he’s been up to recently. One of the things we discussed was just how censored Luke had been and continues to be by Facebook and Youtube.
Luke touched upon some of his suspicions as to what is going on as well as his concerns regarding the closeness of large companies such as Google to US government alphabet agencies.
I pointed out how the root of the problem is the government and central bank support of those kinds of multinational conglomerates through a number of different means.
Luke thinks there could be more to the problem than that.
But in my opinion, if we just eradicated the most immoral and controlling entities, we would see prosperity on earth like we’ve never known it.
You will want to watch the full interview below so you don’t miss all the important news regarding google blacklisting and what the free market’s reaction has been to this kind of internet censorship.
Highly recommend checking out the STEALTH technology that is being integrated into Bitshares. Three second transactions at up to 180,000 transactions per second... absolutely private, untraceable, blinded. Think about 100% private economies that can scale to 100x what Visa or Mastercard currently do (globally) where guys like Luke could be funded and banked with absolute privacy from censorship and seizure. Imagine how many more people would support alt media if they knew they could do so without fear of reprisal, how many more journalists would create content if they could get paid in absolute privacy and how many more alt media outlets would flourish if they could generate revenue and pay bills/salaries without having to go through fiat banks. Bitshares is making it happen right now...
wow! I did not know bitshares was doing that. They really should start advertising more or something. I have used and been to their site before but I swear I do not ever see any advertisements on reddit or facebook or anything like that.
If they are truly doing what you described they should be spending thousands per week to reach people! That is great!
I am so glad decentralized money (people trust networks) are HERE to stay. I can't imagine a world with out them now.
Agree!
I believe it's essential we steer steemit away from behaving like Google. I think the downvoting is a version of censorship and whales have too much power, not dissimilar to what's happening with google. Inflammatory knee jerk response material like citing paedophile images are used as the excuse for censorship just in the same way the main stream screams paedophiles or terrorists as an excuse for censorship/surveillance.
The end result of the downvoting/flagging that I've witnessed is people downvoting or flagging content that simply disagrees with their views. This isn't child porn or terrorism! The downvoting flagging system mirrors the tryanny of the mass opinion we see in Wikipedia and censored society - often an opinion drip-fed by MSM with no real foundation as they have censored history and science to suit their mandate. Steemit needs to be different.
I agree with Luke. Corporations control government and we should be very wary. I agree with Jeff. Get rid of centralised government and the Corporations have no puppets to bribe, push their agenda and protect their operations.
I couldn't agree more, I have had a couple of posts censored here on Steemit
Excellent comment. I resonate with your sentiment, Sir, 100%.
+1 with you
Google has created a monopoly into the web and as you say it's backed by government and used in surveillance, and tracking where you go and what you do, with advanced technology and just how far they will go to control people is what people need to realize.
I do agree with Jeff,stop watching tv programming, turn off Facebook, I cut off Facebook months ago and just use steem..
Spend more time reading, research history, stop being reactive and become proactive.
Don't let all that marketing subliminal brain washing tactic swallow your mind, break away and open your mind.
They are using devide and conquer and more hatred to control the masses.
I don't know how this all will end,but to see this country headed towards a civil war and that's what they want, order out of caos
Wonderful post @dollarvigilante! Because it features 2 or more of the beautiful humans from The Tribe, it has been re-steemed by our communal account: @tribesteemup!
Great post, I see your perspective very well, because I share it too.
With the billions of dollars Google has gotten from the government, I refuse to consider them a private corporation. They are a government sponsored corporation monopolizing the flow of information and censoring that which does not cooperate with their official narrative.
Yup. What Luke is not understanding for whatever reason, is these corporations only have the power they have because they are granted with economic advantages from the State. Remove the State mechanism and Google or any other company would have no ability to monopolize industry.
It's a mercantilist system borrowed from the British Empire, that was present when the US State was created.
I think he understands it, he's mentioned it in a couple of his past videos over the last couple of weeks.
That's good. Perhaps he just thinks we need to have more of a spotlight on corporations rather then just the usual suspects.
Yes, that's definitely part of it, certain powerful families have been in bed with the State for centuries.
What I intended to say was the merchant-state was the type of system in place from the colonial era to this day. The history of the US is based on economic activity, largely land speculation, being alined with the State; it blurs the line between private enterprise and government. There's also important influence from the Protestant movement/Puritans who came to settle in America.
Early 20th century book The History United States by Charles Beard and more recently from a couple years ago Sheldon Richman's America's Counter-Revolution: The Constitution Revisited go more in depth.
Keep working, stop paying.
Keep what you got, if you are over 50, then as soon as someone younger replaces you at work, you can go to a beach.
When taxes, gov'ts, banks, or anybody else that 'profits' from value created by workers, but doesn't contribute to the production, are cut out of the middle, the price of things goes way down.
When all there are are producers and consumers we don't have to support the parasites created by the various accounting departments.
We shame conspicuous consumption, work 20 hours a week for ~20,000 hours between 20 and 50, and viola, the shelves are full and everything is free.
But, of course, that could never be allowed to happen,...
google survives by selling our information to government agencies around the world, it is a company subscribed by governments to spy on the largest number of people on earth, to mark trends and continue to sell information to companies, the media also do the same and hide the vast majority of information for the benefit of few, luckily there are other places where this hidden information is shared for all of us, very good post, thanks for sharing!
And where might those places be?
Technically government is a corporation so I don't see why the splitting of hairs on this issue. I've read rumors that the "United States of America, Inc" is owned by "The Crown" which is a British corporate entity.. Makes one wonder if the USA is poised to "fight for independence" all over again.
It will be rendered moot though by the technologies that underlie bitcoin. If they use the internet kill switch, there will be revolution and that option is suicide to the bankers. If they let bitcoin run its course, then it will drain the power of the USD and other national currencies. I suspect major changes are coming very soon.
Equifax can't keep losing half of the populations data without serious repercussions. That data is making its way to the dark web and of course msm is using this opportunity to bash bitcoin (when Equifax is the real criminal).
A curious novelty is the original "Grand Union Flag" which preceded the stars and stripes and flew over continental army garrisons as well as serving as a naval ensign... it's practically identical to flags of the East India Company.

Excellent interview. The answer to all the tyranny and censorship of google , youtube and facebook is steemit(D-tube). Google and its ilk stop at nothing to generate billions in revenue. Hopefully steemit and other cryptos will soon tame them :)
Yep Nice interview. Got high hopes from D-tube and onG.social ... wheee

All you need to know about modern society.
"Look," Pharaoh said to the priests – down long lines chained slaves are one stone. They were guarded by many soldiers. The more slaves, the better for the state because we have always believed. But, the more slaves, the more necessary to be afraid of their rebellion. We are strengthening security. We have well fed their slaves, otherwise they will not be able to perform heavy physical work. But they – anyway, lazy and prone to rebellion...
– Watch as they move slowly and lazy guards do not drive them with whips and beats even healthy and strong slaves. But, they will move much faster. They will not need a guardian. The guards also become slaves. Similar can be accomplished. Let today before sunset heralds smash decree of Pharaoh, saying: "With the dawn of a new day, all slaves granted complete freedom. For every stone delivered to the city, free person will receive one coin. Coins can be exchanged for food, clothing, housing, a Palace in the city and the city itself. From now on you are free people". ... The next morning the priests and Pharaoh rose once again to the site of artificial mountains. The picture appeared to their eyes, impressed. Thousands of people, former slaves, race dragged the same stones as before. Sweating, many carried two stones. Others who had one, and fled, raising dust. Some guards also dragged stones. People who considered themselves free – after all, they removed the shackles, tried to get as much coveted coins to build your happy life.
Kratom a few months spent on its site, with satisfaction watching the scene below.
And the changes were enormous. Some slaves came together in small groups, built the truck and loaded the brim with stones, sweating, pushing these trucks. They have a lot of devices naizobretayut – with satisfaction thinking to myself Kratom – that's already internal services emerged: the hawkers food and water... Soon will choose a captain, and judges. Let purchased: they, in fact, consider themselves free, but the essence has not changed, they still carry stones...
Jeff...please tell Luke that he looks just like my younger brother. Thanks Jeff! Upvoted, re$teemed & following!
Great post. thanks for sharing @dollarvigilante.
Because google is so big and with the money they are getting from the government they are not a private corporation. The monopoly for such companies are created by the state themselves for their own purposes.
I dont know how it's going to end in the future
Google best
Google best
Google's parent company is Alphabet. As in Alphabet agencies......
you are a blessing to the community @dollarvigilante thanks for what you continue to bring all of us; Information matters!
Google just hired 1000 'journalists,' so expect a flood of pro-Goolag propaganda to begin flooding non-stop through all forms of media.

I hate to notice people monitoring my activities because it is too dangerous. If that is true Google will answer for it.
All bloggers here on Steemit should BLACK BALL YOUTUBE and its SENSORSHIP BULLSHIT!
Jeff & Luke - the best guys to watch on Youtube!
Decentralization finally gives the power to individuals, it is not just about the blockchain and the technology behind crypto...it is a revolution in society
@dollarvigilante. I get so excited to hear you guys talking this way! And, I have a few questions. Why is your content not taken down from YouTube Jeff? And also a minor detail I'm sure, why is there a google powered search engine on steemit? How is that decentralized social media if we are using the same old tools?
As long as we support alternative platforms to google, like startpage, we will start to shift the control. This only seems like an impossible task when standing as individuals alone. We must combine our numbers and share these ideas for radical change to take place.
I just heard about you from another post. Thanks for 'educating' me to topics & issues I'm not very familiar with. Ixm still learning about crypto and LOVE Steemit!

Good article. I'm linking to this article in a new post I'm writing about Google and the others who are creating chaos through censorship in order to get people to beg for more governmental control over the Internet, which we are against.
