Does this explain the ongoing censorship of Paul on Digg???
Stories being "burried" despite thousands of diggs?!

UPDATE: After just one bury, this article too was deleted from Digg's upcoming category.

The self-proclaimed 'digital democracy' Digg.com has been caught red-handed artificially suppressing and censoring Ron Paul stories by expunging them from the website with just one bury, despite the fact that thousands of other Digg users are voting the stories up.

Digg allows users to vote stories up (digg them) or vote them down (bury them). The content of Digg's main page, which receives millions of readers a day, is decided upon this apparently democratic system.

For months allegations have been flying around concerning how stories about Ron Paul, which routinely receive well over a thousand diggs, rarely make it to the main page on Digg as a "popular" item.

The revelation that Digg is artificially suppressing political content that it doesn't like actually appeared on an anti-Ron Paul website, TechCrunch, which has ridiculed Paul supporters in the past.

The writer, Duncan Riley, submitted his story about Paypal freezing the funds of Ron Paul supporters to Digg and tracked its progress via the Ajaxonomy Bury Recorder (ABR) service, a tool "that allows you to see the the number of buries on a Digg story by the time of each bury, the reason and at what stage in the voting process it was buried."

"Thinking that the Ron Paul story might get a few votes, I decided to run it in ABR through out the afternoon to see what might happen," writes Riley.
"At exactly 43 votes the story received one bury for spam, and then it completely disappeared from the upcoming sidebar at Digg in its particular category. I ran a search for TechCrunch posts (newest via URL) on Digg to see whether it was there; nothing, clicked the include buried stories post: bingo, the post appeared in the list."

Keep up the good work.
And be sure to make a thread about it every time.
 
You should just make a "W4d5Y Thread" so you can stop posting so many new threads.
 
Oh, that's just a lame excuse to ignore what really needs to be said.

Also, by what definition does "W4d5Y" go?
It simply represents anything I post, and you have terrible prejudice towards me, so in the end it's gonna be a place to dump all the stuff that you won't dare talk about.

There mustn't be any taboos in this world, so fisting let me post my threads that I deem worth posting. -.-#

finally, one supporter for my troubling actions! :D Hooray!

Dude, you might just as well go reading prisonplanet.
Or other alternative news outlets, I just prefer prisonplanet because they have the money to run this site efficiently.

You could just make a "W4d5Y's Ron Paul thread", although that would pretty much be the same thing as "The W4d5Y thread". If it was called "W4d5Y's thread on Ron Paul loving and occasional 9/11 idiocy", it would cover everything.
 
W, you wouldn't get such hostile and dismissive reactions if you constrained your eccentrics at most to one topic every few days.

You do not need to flood the front page with this incessant bullshit. There are already 10 topics by you up and they are all more or less centered around conspiracies. Give it a rest for a while.
 
Ron Paul is the worst possible presidential candidate.
 
nah I'd say the jesus freak that used to be really fat is the worst
 
You were told to keep it to one thread.

Mods please ban him, you have a legitimate reason, everyone hates him, no reason to keep him here.

I understood about 0% of this post. I hope English isnt your native language.
 
W4D, reading prisonplanet just because it's more organized is absolutely no reason to read it. There are plenty of other, non-crazy media outlets. I really doubt you've sat down and actually listened to the guy behind all those websites you keep using as sources. Not half an hour, not an hour, listen to the Alex Jones until it's over. Once is all you need to judge the man insane. Please dude, do just yourself this favor: If you're gonna be a Lefty, don't get your political influence from prisonplanet. It's no different than a righty getting his from Nazis; it's all about paranoia. I really don't think you've listened to his show, because if you had, you could at least admit that the guy was, with no reservations, crazy. Unlike Solaris, I'm not gonna be mean-spirited, I'll just tell you what the problem is with posting this stuff. Ok, hypothetical scenario: If you do agree that he's crazy after listening to his show(this is the logical conclusion when you hear someone screaming and shouting and going paranoid on his own radio show), would you at least consider the fact that a big part of what he says could be... paranoia?

Summery - Prisonplanet is not a source. It's one man's homage to his own paranoia, with the bizarre twist of him having actual fans, albeit a crazy person.
 
There's one thing I don't get: Why exactly is Alex Jones freaking out about vaccinations? Ok, that's an easy one - He thinks they're trying to kill the American public by injecting them with cancer, but seriously, what does he gain from such crazyness? I mean his readers or listeners must be grade-a morans to buy into that sort of crap. I mean there really are bigger issues facing American than some guy yelling "THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL 80% OF US!", before ranting on about the American government trying to kill the people through vaccinations. I mean seriously, some day I hope Prison Planet will be replaced with an "I'm sorry" page, explaining that it was all a stunt to illustrate how gullible people can be.
 
how can I put this?...hmm...

He's a manipulator. He either wants people to follow him so when our government does finally collapse(and it will), he can control an empire, or he's just mentally iznane.

I think the 1st, but is he really that smart?

Yeah, he is loudmouth and everything, and he jumps to his conclusions a bit too fast and DOES create paranoia, and yes, I have listened to his shows, but mostly out of hillarity due to the nature of his constant screaming and ranting.

I believe that a world elite certainly would require the number of human entities decreased, while I doubt he can just stick to his 80% number because it has no evidence, however 80% maybe just is a reasonable number.
Oh, funny bit, he could also put it in this way: They'll keep the population at 20%, but killing off 80% of humanity sounds...MOAR, you know.
