about 20years ago that crazy man was yelling on that cheap looking public access channel, yelling about a global government and how the top bankers, media titans, energy leaders, politicians and top CEOS would secretly get together every year to discuss how to steer humanity in a certain direction.


That is all proven BS now right?

Nope. The NFL is not a government agency or any other arm of the government. So the First Amendment doesn't enter into it at all. At any rate, the spit on others sounds like sensationalist distortion of truth - and that at best.

Real America sees through the "progressive" hypocrisy.
Slander and libel (Sandy Hook, Parkland, etc) are not protected free speech. At any rate, again, the First Amendment applies only to the government, not private entities. Private entities have a right to ban anyone who damages the reputation, safety, etc. of their business, especially if it violates fundamental human rights and dignity, for example, dehumanizing others based merely on their identity or state of being (as opposed to having damaged or destroyed other peoples lives or property or seeks to marginalize them merely based on that identity).

He did the same to TYT several years ago at one of the major party's presidential conventions (one of the 2016 ones, IIRC).

The NFL is a private business, yet you liberals and Democrats don't think the team owners should have a right to tell Colin Kaepernick and his buddies to stand for the flag or else! Kaepernick has a right to express his radical, racist, inaccurate views OFF THE JOB but his bosses don't have to tolerate it on the clock!

That's how conspiracy theorists operate. If the common man ran things, he would no longer be common. By running things, he becomes part of the elite.

If you want to cook up a conspiracy theory, who else but the most powerful in a society are going to be the natural suspects?

I'm not saying Jones is right or wrong. The guy acts so off-his-hut crazy that he's impossible to believe using logic alone.

One either has to believe Jones is right and every single other person is wrong, or that Jones is the only one who's wrong. It all boils down to either believing in the crazy guy who's eternally yelling, perched on his soapbox, or not.

Most pass that guy by. But there are always a few who take the ranting seriously. That's human nature.

And he can still rant and rave his craziness. But alas you have no understanding of what free speech is.

I don't understand what you think this has to do with free speech or liberals. Twitter can choose to ban who they want to ban.

Plenty of conservatives still posting all over the internet, on FB, Twitter, and elsewhere. They are clearly getting along with whatever TOS applies. Just as you are managing to get your point across here without running afoul of c-ds TOS. Really, it isn't that hard to color inside the lines.


Yes, AJ was speaking in front of the camera during Rubio's interview so that he can be heard.

His words have to be intermingled with Rubio's or they will be edited out. I get what he is doing.

Alex Jones aside, the left want the conservative voice silenced unless their speech stays within the pc acceptable range.
There may be some leftists who aren't trying to stifle the right, but far more are calling for them to be banned, stopped, shut up etc.

Just look at the radicals who protest and destroy college campuses because a conservative is speaking there.

The radical left are unbelievably intolerant. Control freaks.

Twitter knows the Leftist base, they are easily manipulated and it's easy to get them to believe and spread fake news. They are worried that they will start to believe Jones so they had to ban him so the pollution and propaganda can only come from their approved sources. They can't have confused putty brains when they are trying to install a new operating system into their skulls.

Any rational person should worry about people believing the BS Alex Jones puts forth as factual.

None of this has anything to do with Free Speech unless the government is preventing Alex Jones form speaking. Individuals and businesses cannot violate the Freedom of Speech law.

Learn your terminology.
