At mid-day on Friday, September 23, 2011, the popular alternative news blog, ActivistPost.com, was taken offline. Activist Post receives over one million views per month and has been hosted by Google’s Blogger since its founding in June 2010.

“We remain puzzled as to why Activist Post was erased completely by Google,” said chief editor and co-founder Michael Edwards. “When we tried to load our back-up file into our secondary Blogger account, that was blocked as well,” he added.

It remains unclear whether Google has acted to censor ActivistPost.com for their controversial reporting.  Google is becoming somewhat notorious for clamping down on truth and liberty activists, of which Activist Post is known for.

“Clearly, this is a huge set back for us and the work we do,” said co-founder Eric Blair.  “Our entire crew is working on resolving the issue and restoring the website.  We certainly look forward to an explanation from Google.”

  • A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Activist Post will file an appeal with Google to restore the site in full, and asks their loyal supporters to make their voices heard as well.  However, they also are seeking other hosting services to avoid these types of censorship issues in the future.

“We want to thank our loyal readers, contributors, and advertisers for being patient while we work this out.  We plan to come on even stronger in face of this adversity,” Edwards said

  1. Mike: I look forward to going to the new address. Wrote to google. Taklng down your site is a form of trauma based mind control. I am sure google is aware of the effect it has on people who think.

  2. My posts on CNN get deleted if I mention the word “God” or “Jesus”. Not a joke.

  3. I guess we’re going to have to start meeting up with like-minded people at the convenience stores/gas stations and hand each other hand-written notes about our opinions and thoughts. Or, we could just talk to each other, but we’ve gotten so used to posting, etc.

    The only problem is that while we’re discussing our opinions and issues we’ll have to endure groups of illegal aliens who also meet there to go mow yards and what have you. Then as we become more impoverished, we’ll have to complete with them for those jobs…it could get nasty, but I think we can take ‘em if we get hungry enough, maybe even confiscate their lawn mowers and what have you since we are legal, for whatever that’s worth these days. But Hell, you have to assert a right to keep it, so…we’ll just assert it on them.

    Anyway, it may be sooner than you think, the military helicopters are in an increased activity mode this morning, I’ll bet it’s happening near some of you as well….those Marshall Law “Drills” you heard tell about. So, you bring the beer and let’s start mowin’ and use the money to start a Civilian Army, as well funded and powerful as the military, it has been approved by all those generals, don’t believe me just watch the vid with Obama saying so, and you know he wouldn’t lie. See ‘ya round the gas station.

    • When they shut down the “grid”, passing notes will be the only gas that gets passed at the gas station, I will be the guy on the mountain bike. We can “barter” for coffee, cigarettes and moon pies.
      I will see ya’ll there.

  4. Thank you Infowars and Prison Planet for posting this article, and thank you to the many great comments here — we truly appreciate the support and feedback. We’ll be in action ASAP.

  5. The 1st amendmend has been taken away by the government. They pay trolls to read evrything about what “John Q Public” is saying about them. Does this sound like “America home of the free” or a communist country?

  6. well i didn’t even know about the activist post thanks….. i will now folllow this… thanx google for letting freedom down again(China)…..hiel google!

    • Thanks for following. We hope to have something up and running by Monday at the latest.

  7. WTF??!!

    I hope they restore this account because Activist Post was doing very good work, and very consistently.

    Fingers Crossed. If they don’t restore them, I will be very upset.

    • Thank you for the kind words!

  8. People have to start finding alternatives to Google for everything now. They have become another corrupt company as money and power is going to their heads. It will be extremely difficult but everyone must try to not use Google’s service whenever possible.

    • Use “Startpage”.

      • Startpage serves up Google’s results, just helps in masking your identity. If Google is filtering search results and/or removing content from their hosted services, Startpage will not help

    • Use Scroogle . com

  9. NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! Reagan this, Clinton that, Bush this, Obama that, Democrat, Republican, The MSM, INFOWARS. Blah, Blah, Blah.
    Wake up folks! I mean truly wake up! This is all useless noise. The conspiracy to destroy liberty has been long and subtle in the making. It is now complete, save a few systemic / infrastructure items in the works. You can bet good money that once they have everything they need in place, the plug will be pulled. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
    Should we be informed about the minutae of NWO preparations? Absolutely. But to think, as AJ continually spouts off about, that we can somehow defeat it, is foolish. Should we support Ron Paul in the cause of liberty? Of course. It is right to stand with righteous men.
    The liberty of your physical body, the freedom to move about as you like, to make choices as you like, that is clearly coming to a quick end. Most of you realize that the entire world gov’t has been corrupted and co-opted. Most of you realize that our food supply, energy supply and communications have been seized by nefarious people. There is no going back.
    So what are we to do? Prepare yourself. Prepare your family. When it goes down, the best you can hope for is that you will have made good preparations. Hopefully you will be able to link up with like minded folks, but it is likely to get very ugly, with every man for himself.
    But more than that, you need to consider the liberty of your soul. Your death can come at any moment, obviously, but your appointment with death appears to be accelerating with the dawning of the NWO.
    The Bible has clearly foretold much about this, as many of you are aware. And so again, the Bible is validating it’s own message as we se these things take place. It is time for you to consider the bigger picture. A Sovereign Creator has a plan and a message for you. Open your heart. Turn your heart and mind toward God. Pray and ask to be guided in the truth. Open the Bible and read it. Read the first 7 chapters of Genesis and then read the Gospels. Won’t take much time at all. See if the claims of Jesus Christ ring true.
    The world of Satan and our your flesh are passing away. Mourn for the loss of liberty, mourn for the loss of the once righteous United States. But for your own sake, move on. Do not get caught up in the noise. Quiet yourself and your soul and seek God and His Son Jesus Christ.

    • You post this same thing on evey post. I think that is called spam! Most will not even bother to read it because it is just a long rant!

  10. Google this Infowars artical. If this is the usuall kind of articals Activist Post reports then theirs’ is no great loss, OTHER than their free speach right to post such Anti-American and Anti-Christian twaddle. Google;“9/11 Anniversary Only “Celebrates” America’s Destruction.
    Below is PART of what I had to say MASTER Moderator whould not allow all of what I had to say! Alex O’Brien is doing what he is told!

    Most of this artical repeated the old Cia/Bin Laden reason for the 911 “attack” it was because of “Americas” policies and “Americas” involement in Iraq, Americas this, and Americas that, NEVER mentioning the fact that Israel guides and directs U.S. policy!
    Some more glareingly obvious expressions of hate is were he said. “Timothy McVeigh popped into my head and I thought that maybe this was some Christian radical attack, an American freedom fighter plan.
    McVeighs “Attack” was not “some Christian radical attack”. Another thing he wrote that really “reeks” was this, “The Nation of Islam has been purposely titled as evil by mass media and Christian zealots wanting to rekindle the Crusades”… what a lieing hateful thing to write.
    And THIS. “If we were all follow the premise and logic of the argument that a few had represented an entire Nation when they attacked the Twin Towers, then Timothy McVeigh’s actions in the bombing in Oklahoma City would define all Christianity as evil. But that would be truth and we aren’t allowed to have any of that to disrupt the spread of our barbaric empire. ” BUT THAT WOULD BE TRUTH???

    • please , Ok city was another dam govt job…how did 2 more explosive devices get inside the building…? both were larger than the explosives in the VAN.

      search and see…

  11. I understand just a little bit of that pain! I produced over 7,000 pages at HubPages with mostly comic book stories. Near the end I had entries critical of Muslim Kenyan Hussein Obama, Never Address Serious Allegations (NASA) lies, 911 inside job plus a host of conspiracy disclosures. One day I went to log in only to learn my account was inactive. Requests from HubPages for an explanation have yet to be answered. Frustrating and infuriating. Now on Tumblr as Stendek. At least as of a few minutes ago.

  12. Boycott Google and their search engine if they continue to suppress free speach.

  13. The problem with the sheeple is they need proof. I know, i am this way too. It helps to see shit with your own eyes to make you a believer. I filmed a 4 minute clip of a yahoo thread being shut down from me just showing up to comment. It is not the best video, but the important parts are all there.
    My point is this, bring more personable concrete evidence with for the sheep you encounter in the real world. Internet has a stigma nowadays, hard core film is hard to refute…..
    Film your police brutality, chem trails, and even your blogging experience. It makes for a more credible story… Gotta go mow my 2 acre Ron paul sign now.

    • That is excellent advise.

  14. .

    Which Rockefeller was it who said “We Never Should Have Given THEM The Internet!” ? (“THEM” as in “US”, ordinary folks).

    I saw his statement as Reverse Psychology. THEY intend using the computer and internet to lead us toward THE totally CONTROLLED SysteM THEY have planned for US and THEY couldn’t do such a thing without TRAINING THE MASS into it by using the … Inter-”NET”.

    And what does “We Never Should Have Given Them The Internet!” truly mean when THEY Block or Censor THOSE who get in THEIR way?

    / .

  15. THE MESSAGE:
    ADVERTISE RON PAUL 2012! ADVERTISE RON PAUL 2012! ADVERTISE RON PAUL 2012!

    ADVERTISE RON PAUL 2012! ADVERTISE RON PAUL 2012! ADVERTISE RON PAUL 2012!

    ADVERTISE RON PAUL 2012! ADVERTISE RON PAUL 2012! ADVERTISE RON PAUL 2012!

    WALK THE WALK AND TALK THE TALK!

    ADVERTISE RON PAUL 2012!

  16. Lets Boycott Google any way we can.

  17. didnt you know the bill of rights is over and done with?!

  18. Apparently they won’t let you say c*r*a*p on this site. I just wrote a critique on Google and why not use gmail or its search engine. I called Google the C word and IW would not post it. Sounds like the censorship here is just as bad. A lot of websites have started to moderate their comments and if you say anything contrary to the party line you get tossed. “You are Free”… Sure, free to say what they approve.

  19. Clearly more litigation will have to be pursued to clarify the rights of Free Speech to individuals on the net and make the law more “settled” on this issue. Here is what the A.C.L.U. says on it’s website: (I am not usually a fan of the A.C.L.U. but on this I agree with them.)

    “The ACLU’s vision of an uncensored Internet was clearly shared by the U.S. Supreme Court when it declared, in Reno v. ACLU, the Internet to be a free speech zone, deserving at least as much First Amendment protection as that afforded to books, newspapers and magazines. The government, the court said, can no more restrict a person’s access to words or images on the Internet than it could be allowed to snatch a book out of a reader’s hands in the library, or cover over a statue of a nude in a museum.”

    (2002 resource):” In a sweeping victory for free speech rights in cyberspace, the Supreme Court struck down the Communications Decency Act in Reno v. ACLU in June 1997. The Court granted the highest level of First Amendment protection to the Internet, and cyber-activists are still dancing in the streets. Despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, states are busy crafting censorship laws at home.”

    • yeah i don’t understand why this can’t be accomplished. we need to reinstate that precedent, particularly regarding fair use etc. maybe the ACLU will help. the only way it’s going to stop is if they have to PAY. otherwise they will not relent.

      • ok, the ACLU doesn’t take contingency cases or charge for services, but apparently they don’t represent in the case of a private firm. they recommended EFF, which i already tried and went through referrals. they were helpful, but couldn’t because of conflicts of interest etc. so apparently its just a strange situation. guess we’ll just have to wait for some capital generation and do it the old fashioned way.

  20. Does anybody ever wonder if one day we won’t be able to say certain things on this comment board, if we’ll be able to comment at all. What would we do? All that useful information.

  21. You can’t impose tyranny on a population without having total control over everything, and most especially over independent sources of news and information — which is why the globalists, bent on installing a one-world government over us all, has been working feverishly to gain more and more control over access to the internet, and over whatever content they can manage to grasp.

    Note, then, how this trend is accompanied by most federal agencies (FEMA, FBI, DEA, …) acting traitorously; like they are completely out of control — engaging in illegal, unconstitutional, and immoral raids, seizures, overt coercion, murder, and more. But if you look carefully, you can detect a pattern of behavior there; one that clearly serves the aims of the criminal bankster elite who are now afraid, due to their machinations being exposed (by Alex Jones, and others), that their plan to destroy the global economy (to use as an excuse to install themselves as overlords of the Earth) will be interrupted by the people of the various countries of the world.

    Look at all the terrible actions the Federal Government is taking. How else can you explain it without recognizing that we now live in a real police state, where law-enforcement is employed not to help the people, but to help Wall Street traitors takeover?

  22. So, they take a site off their servers, and the result will be 10 days of no site for Activist Post, followed by 1 million hits a month going somewhere OTHER than Google, and vowing to never do business with Google again.

    Their own hubris and corruption will bring them down. Don’t want +1 million hit a month to advertise to? FINE! FU!

    • I pretty much agree. Market forces still exist to a certain point. When vacuums are created, they are filled. Much with the current Netflix developments. In fact, we might hope that the hubris and corruption you describe will also bring down “the system”. Humans are not gods (though it seems AJ wants us to think so) and the powerful overreach or are even sometimes destroyed by their own schemes. Otherwise, I firmly believe, world “domination” would already exist.

  23. Since 9/11, as nearly all of us know, our rights under the Constitution have been taken gradually and on a regular basis. Legislation, which most of the Congress doesn’t even entirely read has been passed that takes our liberties under the guise of “protecting” us and for “security” purposes.
    We know what it is, it is a tyrannical Fascist take over based on the 9/11 and economic False Flags which have been staged.

    It is entirely possible, I believe, that the controllers of information on the net, you know the list of usual suspects, have simply decided, well since there really is not Constitution anymore for all intents and purposes, let’s just complete the circle by censoring information and thereby limit the addition of newcomers to the ranks of the informed who you and I have brought out of the dark sheep pens in which they were living previously. It is a sign the you, me and Alex Jones and others have been effective and they now fear us. The fear us enough to censor us. The question is how do we get around it? I have complained to the owner/founder Joseph Farah of Worldnetdaily and to Yahoo and cancelled by Facebook account. I have, to date, about 5 days later, heard nothing back on my complaints. I am considering a letter with some legal implications. We need to get them to realize how serious the issue is, but they may be so encouraged by the courts ignoring rights too many times like when no discovery has been allowed in any court where eligibility suits have been filed, that they feel emboldened to simply censor us at will know.

    • Sorry about the typos, I typed too fast and should proofread.

    • The Constitution hasn’t applied since Zachary Taylor. This was re-affirmed in 1965 when we lost the definition of the dollar following the JFK assassination.

      Dollar = 100 cents
      cent = 1/100 of a dollar

      Prior to 1965 a dollar was defined in terms of grains of fine silver. Now, it’s not defined in terms of anything. Define the dollar is terms of ANYTHING in existence, known to man, and things will start getting better immediately.

      • Perhaps you are right, but back then, at least a person could speak freely as long as it did not meet the criteria of threatening some harm or whatever. Now, we have a more blatant form of non-Constitutional activity, it is more overt and in your face. I guess we need to get the Constitution to be noticed by the general population more and maybe they will Think that it is real and valid and if they think that then the Elite has to explain to the teeming masses why it is not. It will become reinvigorated whether the Elite say it applies or not when they face those masses demanded that the document be followed.

        In short, it needs to be rammed down the throats of the Elite until they choke on it. I am confident it will apply henceforward.

    • You can’t really sue them. You must have a harm that can be remedied by money, and you probably agreed to allow them to do whatever the h-ll they want with your info, when you signed up for Facebook, or Yahoo.

      I have noticed Twitter blocks my tweets in hash-tag conversations. My followers get the tweets, I get them in my account, but the hash-tag group doesn’t get them at all. I experienced this during the #GOPDebate and the #occupywallstreet protest (that is STILL on-going, btw.)

      Remember, we are using their technology against them, but it is still THEIR technology. We are NOT going to be able to do anything brute strength-wise (in the courts or using the government in any way) to stop them. We have to, instead, show them for the dictators they are, by forcing them to do this to us (shut us down, block us) and let it be known to the people of the world.

      Mayor Bloomberg for example is looking a lot like Mayor Mubarak! The Oakland BART, same thing. It just emboldens people. Imagine, if they has just let the #occupywallstreet crowd actually occupy wall street last Saturday, and not blocked them, the protest would have ended last Saturday. Instead, ….

      • I don’t think that I could waiver my rights under the Constitution by any such agreement with Yahoo or whoever. Those rights are “inalienable”.

        • Again, the Constitution is null and void. And as long as you propagate the DREAM that it still exists or that the government still operates under its restraints, we won’t move forward on “rights” issues.

          2 clauses from the Constitution ignored by every court in the land. And if ANYONE tries to give an excuse as to why these 2 clauses are ignored, any reason at all, just understand that the excuse YOU give me, is the excuse EXACT SAME EXCUSE they give, when they decide to ignore the Constitution just as YOU are then doing.

          1. Article 1 Section 10 Paragraph 1 “No State shall … make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; ….”

          2. Article 2 Section 1 Paragraph 5 “No Person except a natural born Citizen, (COMMA) or a Citizen of the United States, (COMMA) at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, (COMMA) shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office ….”

          Now, there has NEVER been an amendment to either of these clauses, yet BOTH are ignored by the courts. The same excuse you use to ignore these two clauses, are the EXACT SAME EXCUSES that they use to ignore EVERYTHING as it suits them!

          If you look to have your rights protected, you better be grabbing for your STATES Constitution, not the US NULL AND VOID CONSTITUTION.

          Cheers

      • I understand your premise but the fact that corruption exists in our courts is not new. Ridiculous and seemingly uneducated decisions are made all the time. That is what appeals courts are for and yes, who do you go to when it happens at the Supreme Court level? You continue to litigate. You cannot simply accept Unconstitutional decisions, to do so is to accept a tyranny, which you may have conceded but I have not. It is tiring, I know, to fight anymore, some will give up, I still have some energy left.

        If the courts do not comply with the Constitution, and here we have a public entity, the Internet, which was paid for by our tax dollars, developed by the government which we own, and has no right to consign or sell it to private interests which then use it for the purposes of violating the inalienable rights of the people who paid for it.

        This issue is not settled.

        • If we cannot any longer litigate to victory and enough has been tried then, I agree, a Revolution will ensue. I am just not willing at this point to begin firing the shot heard round the world, and still believe in this game of “Chicken” with the courts/judges/politcians/law enforcement/etc. that a bold and determined showing will cause them to back down. The right to throw off a tyranny is always an option and no court will receive a pleading when and/if it occurs.

  24. ………..”GOLD STAR” BEING AFFIXED TO “DRIVER LICENCES”…CONNECTICUT…OCTOBER 3rd 2011

    • ^…GERMANY/HITLER…JEWS…^ “GOLD STAR”——DRIVER LICENCES CONNECTICUT OCT. 3rd 2011…!

    • Why do you have a drivers license? Are you a driver? Do you get paid to drive? Do you operate your conveyance for profit or hire? Is your automobile a vehicle? Does it earn you money?

      Transportation – The carrying of people or products, for hire or profit, in a place called, “this State.”

      Motor Vehicle – A vehicle with a motor

      Vehicle – The conveyance used to carry people or products, for hire or profit, in a place called “tins State.”

      Driver – Person at the controls of a vehicle

      Operator – Person at the controls of a motor vehicle.

      DOES ANY OF THIS APPLY TO YOU?

      Texas Transportation Code 201.904 – “SPEED SIGNS. The department shall erect and maintain on the highways and roads of this state appropriate signs that show the maximum lawful speed for commercial motor vehicles, truck tractors, truck trailers, truck semitrailers, and motor vehicles engaged in the business of transporting passengers for compensation or hire (buses).”

      GET IT?

  25. that’s what you get from not operating your OWN website as was common before all those damn blogs , facebook, twitter and all that crap started to appear.
    now they just delete, ban or otherwise sabotage you when they dont like you

    • Good point!

      You would think a million hits a month, you might just get your own site, right?

      Cheers

  26. Yahoo and Facebook are apparently doing this also, but on an individual level and not for moderation but for politics and or anything they consider controversial and not within the parameters of their political which they have determined. Free speech or the First Amendment shall be damned whenever those entities decide it to be so.

    I have been simply not allowed to post, but did not post anything obscene, threatening, (you know, the “shouting fire in a crowded theater type of thing”), or otherwise that was worse than anyone had been saying. I did mention that I thought it odd that Reggie Love, Obama’s personal trainer and valet was always on vacation with him even when Michelle and the kids were not, and that more and more they were not with him on vacation.

    Shortly, after this statement, I could not post and nothing was sent indidcating that I had violated any rules as I had not. I did have some problems posting because of a Facebook log in which I described in a post on this forum before, but is too lengthy to go into here but it appears that Facebook and Yahoo are simply deleting posts and preventing posts from people that they politically disagree with and give no reason and you don’t have to be in violation of any rules they have set. This is a serious issue and is increasing. Here is a link to a site that backs up my experiences: (modified since no links are allowed here, put the dot and paste into browser) www (dot) hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/77877/

    • It happened on Worldnetdaily, in the comments section beneath their stories.

    • Absolutely. On the rare occasion I do try to post anything, it will invariably be blocked if it references the Constitution, 9/11, economy (in any context other than “omg prez obuma wil totly fix the ekonmy!”), firearms, Congress… Basically, if its the truth, Facebook does not want you to share it.

      Its not a problem of Internet connection either- immediately after repeatedly attempting (and failing) to post something political, I change it to some inane waste of words, it will be accepted post haste.

      • Yes, I can affirm that my experience is the same. This is real and this is a real and growing problem. It is frightening actually since this is the crucial time to get the information that you and I have out to the public, otherwise the Sheeple remain as they are and we must stand by and watch them go over the cliff and take us with them.

    • Yea Yahoo is doing the same thing for me. Half of the time they never post what I wrote even after I repost it a dozen times and refresh to make sure it is there. It doesn’t help that I always sending an angry email to their supposed “Political Analysts” Holly Bailey and Chad Moody. They probably love me by now. LOL Neither one of them ever reports on Ron Paul and are obsessed with Obama, Perry and Romney. So I always let them have it with my wonderful curse words and bitching. So much for free speech.

  27. Huffpo is heavily censored. You can bitch and moan, but don’t dare back up comments with links to infowars material that expose political corruption at its deepest levels or the comment will not be published.

  28. On tvu player caught world news tv channel. Said that the computors because of the hits thought it was spam. Said sight went back up later. Never checked for myself, but what the guy said, I suck at remembering names unless I feel they are important I guess. It’s what I know about it, what they tell me.lol

    • they also said it was yahoo, so i guess maybe google shut them down completely

  29. Why would a group like this ever trust a service form GOOGLE and trust THEM to store all of their data anyway?

    If they don’t have their web site files, database, and their original source files backed up on their local machines then all I can say is…

    DUMB ASSES!

    • Some of the nicest people don’t know didly about computers. Most people assume google is not evil.

      they mentioned they tried up upload liberated date to another account, so i assume they had a backup.

      hosting and domains outside the USA might solve a lot of problems for anyone like this.

    • What are you talking about? They have their stuff backed up. Read the article. They won’t let them put the back-up, back up, either.

  30. P.S. it happened on WorldnetDaily in the comments section of their stories.
