r/CBTS_Stream gets site ban

114  2018-03-14 by WarSanchez

CBTS was banned today.

Not aware of the reason yet. Will update when aware.

Edit: Inciting Violence is the reason given according to former mods.

Less than a month ago though, some of these very mods were trying to get their users to abamdon Reddit and go to Voat, was this their play or was this more Reddit censorship. You decide.

Came here to see if anyone else posted, thanks.

I'll look for updates.

I came here to look for the reason. Oh my god. So we are right.

Any info on a new sub?

Where do we go now?

/r/Greatawakening looks good

good call, thanks

Lol. I forgot to hit new and posted the same post!!

I'd love to see the justification on this one. That was an absolutely harmless sub.

Look at my edit. Maybe an inside job as well.

Probable. Tools available to mods are insufficient to run a sub with rising popularity on a volunteer team, without finding the mod team adding accounts that create problems or agitate for control.

The same site that hosts kiddie diddlers now has an issue with a bunch of normies researching and collecting information on government surveillance and illegal government activities.....THE HORROR!!!!!! SHUT THEM DOWN!!

a bunch of normies researching and collecting information on government surveillance and illegal government activities

I didn't spend any time there... but that doesn't sound like what I saw at all. They were some weird quasi-cult that believed in a final showdown between the ancient deity Moloch and Donald Trump

"I didn't spend any time there...." - "doesn't sound like what I saw at all...." Uhhhhhhh......so you didn't spend ANY time there, but you somehow can make that conclusion?!?! Okayyyy.....

Someone crossposted something from there literally two days ago. I clicked it, wondered what it was about, and read the FAQ. I quoted part of it to someone because it was funny, so it's still saved in my post history:

Behind the scenes, a titanic battle of good versus evil is taking place. On the good side, the President of the United States, the NSA and his loyal armed forces. On the evil side, the elites who rule over us and their friends. Q says 80% of this battle will never see the light of day but it is happening, it's very real and the ramifications will one day extend to the entire planet.

Why? There's no easy way to build up to this so I will just go ahead and say it: the vast majority of the elites are Satan worshippers who sacrifice children to the **ancient god Moloch. They run the global child trafficking networks to supply themselves with vulnerable children to murder, rape, and harvest for organs and blood to keep them young. Their hundred year plan which kicked off in the middle of WWI was meant to completely subjugate the West both through immigration and through cultural subversion. Bits and pieces of the full picture are documented in many places but it's very hard to study in detail because the subject matter is repulsive and because it attracts a lot of distraction. It is quite likely although not yet confirmed that Hollywood and most of Washington D.C. are full of pedophiles. If you find this completely unbelievable, then ask yourself this: how many Hollywood personalities and media executives have resigned in just the last month because of accusations of sexual impropriety? Has PizzaGate really been debunked? Are there a hundred and one coded references to cult behaviour in the leaked emails of Hillary Clinton, John Podesta and his brother Tony? What do these people like to do on a Friday night with their friends from Hollywood?

So yeah, weird quasi-cult that believed in a final showdown between the ancient deity Moloch and Donald Trump.

So you're saying that a TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME sub just got banned? I subbed in it and never realized how fucking cool it was until you just summarized it.

This is Bullshit.

Our rights are being eroded - and quickly.

Right, but who cares...they have every right, or should have every right to discuss that.

We have subs way worse.

Only care because I first saw that sub two days ago and read the FAQ and it was hilarious. I'm also interested in why they were banned. I assume that it was like some of the other mid-sized and larger subs that have been banned for doxxing/directing attacks at private individuals (a la FPH). Has anyone given the reason why it was banned? At least the mods would know, right?

Reason was for "Inciting violence" i got banned. NOTHING in the mod log or que was violent

Except for the posts where they were fantasizing about how to execute ”the elites”

Jesus, executing the opposition or wishing death upon others seems to pop up in every political sub. How many have wished painful death upon Trump on Reddit? Let people vent already

You're right I've heard worse in subs.

I kind of agree in principle. But that shit was dark. A whole thread of just execution fantasies. When you add that they continuously name names accusing random billionaires (Soros, of course, plus a bunch of others) of being Satanist pedophiles who cannibalize dead children (or something) the combo gets a bit dangerous, maybe.

How long have you been on this sub? Not exactly a light place, nor should it be. Conspiracies occur in the dark and the elites being blood sucking satanists is nothing new. There exists enough evidence of the darkness of elites to warrant investigation.

The fantasies. Not the sub. The fantasies were dark. The sub was mostly your run of the mill batshit. The fantasies about how to execute the elites were dark. Like detailed and with a creepy gusto. Again, combined with the name-naming, not a good look

The fantasies we're a very small part of the sub. The majority of the threads contained none of this. Nothing a simple downvoted and move on couldn't handle. Half of it was humor.

What 'name naming' do you refer to? Was anyone named who wasn't already a public figure? I saw alot of connections being made among politicians and corporate figures but it's not like some Joe schmo was being attacked or bullied. Just run of the mill social media trolling. It's not like someone went and shot up some pizzerias hard drive or anything.

Conspiracies occur in the dark and the elites being blood sucking satanists is nothing new.

... which makes me think they probably got banned for doxxing someone or something like that. Like you said, if snuff fantasies and child sacrifice theories were enough to get a sub banned this one wouldn't exist

They are satanic pedophile who screw kids and ritually sacrifice them to Moloch. This has been inown for over a year now.

If you have compelling proof, walk in any Federal Prosecutor's office and show them. I'm sure you'll find someone eager to win every election they'll ever run for from that moment on, on the back of such a slam dunk, high profile case.

It has been tried already. The people in control of the Federal Prosecutor's office are Satanists/Luciferians. Same with the States. Same with the Judges. Same with the FBI and CIA. Same with local law enforcement.

You must be new here.

Wow. That's really unlucky for you. You have proof and no one would listen. Tough gig you picked, my man.

You joke about it, but you do not realize it is true. LOL.

No, you should be heartbroken about it. I’m the LOL one, I thought. Let's try again.

Do your research, then come back.

https://youtu.be/1aKWeRhm-kY

Lol why are you here?

So you need proof to post thoughts to reddit now? C'mon, gtfo.

No, to post on Reddit you clearly don't need anything but a keyboard. I assumed, since you said it was a well known ”fact”, that you’d seen proof. My mistake. Fantasyland. All good

conspiracy THEORY

Lol like how Hillary conducted top secret work on a private server and got away with it, even after lying? Or how Bush got away unscathed after starting an illegal war?

Please don't tell me that you're in r/conspiracy advocating that the rich and powerful abide by the same rules as we do.

Call of Cthulhu was fiction fam

I wish. I really do.

Wouldn't it be crazy if it were true, but most of the world did not realize it? It is true, and it is crazy.

Kind of an extraordinary claim -- I'm all for being inquisitive, but saying that the world is being run by a millennias-old cult of Moloch worshippers with no evidence other than random 4Chan posts is a little bit much

Yes, it is extraordinary. I did not believe it when I first heard about it. I thought people were using it as a figure of speech, but they were being serious. You know, like saying someone is a Satanic Priestess. I did not take it literally at first.

Well, keep digging, if you like. I will assume you are familiar with Bohemian Grove and Skull and Bones, but that is just the beginning of that rabbit hole.

Swinging on the Gates of Hades – Remembrance Day Exposed:

http://www.oneballmedia.com/category/articles/category/articles/2007/11/04/swinging-on-the-gates-of-hades-remembrance-day-exposed/

I never saw that. I never saw any incitement to violence. CBTS stands for Calm Before the Storm, which is a phrase Trump used. CBST mostly followed the Q posts and did related research. They pointed to very strong evidence of certain elites engaging in pedophilia and/or satanism, including the elites' use of related symbols, pictures, comments, artwork, bizarre connections, historical pedophile scandals, the elites' close ties to known pedophiles or satanists, and the testimony of their alleged victims. They believed Trump and his administration were on top of things behind the scenes, and seemed perfectly content to leave justice up to them.

Random? JFC.

”random” ’cause there's no actual proof that Soros is a Satanist. If all it takes is a hint of badly built suspicion, it’s called random.

It's not random and Soros, while (maybe) not a satanist is guilty of a litany of international financial crimes and has backed radical leftist groups for years and is now trying to delegitimize our duly elected president.

Also, eat a dick pal.

Someone is skipping on the lithium...

Is there a reason your ENTIRE post history is comments like this on issues like this? GTFO.

Yep. It’s fun.

Also: not really. A lot of it is arguing with morons, granted, but you made me curious about it and there’s s fair amount of other stuff. Quite a bit of stuff about incels. Some economics shit. Some local stuff about Sydney. It’s not the ENTIRE history.

Yup, very much selective enforcement. I wonder why they were really banned. I didn't even know the sub exists.

It makes it suspicious when a sub is small and there is no glaring violation. Many on that sub will feel more validated, however, who knows the true reason. Hopefully, this will draw more intrigue to Q. It's a puzzling mind fuck with just enough plausibility to keep it interesting. Q inspires investigation into legit conspiracies and shady characters.

Yup, regardless of whether Q is a LARP or not, I find the posts fun to think about. I find it suspicious that the shill here seem to hate Q so much and always downvote spam anything to do with it. That behavior almost makes me think Q might not be a LARP.

My thoughts exactly. Very small sub, no personal information was posted, and the closest they got to violence was the occasional title of wishing harm on the elites. Very fishy.

If they get Due Process beforehand, then I do not see a problem.

Yeah, I have seen posts advocating the assassination of certain politicians, and they are applauded. Say something similar about ambanker, and the ENTIRE sub gets banned. Not the post, not the user, but the ENTIRE sub. Lol.

I think they were looking for an excuse to shut down Free Speech.

Our tax money goes to the Vatican and Bank of England. This is Treason, and the penalty for Treason is very severe.

You don’t have the right for a private company having to pay for the server space and bandwidth to host your thoughts. Like you don’t have a 1st embedment right to writing a column for the NYT or to have a segment on Fox. If they want to throw you off their servers because they don’t like you (or me), they should be able to.

Freedom of speech just means the government should not arrest you or detain you or compel your speech. A sub being banned does none of those things. Stop whining.

If the private company takes taxpayer money then the story is different. Also, if the private company is an agent of the U.S. government, then the story is also different.

Freedom of Speech is much broader than that. Sorry. Please learn some law before you pipe in.

Reddit is an agent for the Government? That's your answer.

They owe a Free Speech platform IF they are subsidized with U.S. taxpayer money OR if they are operating as agents of the government. That is my answer.

And Reddit is which? Links? Proof? Something?

Not sure, actually. I have not researched it in any great detail. I did look at google, youtube, twitter, amazon, and facebook.

This is a great read:

When Google Met Wikileaks by Julian Assange.

The problem is that certain government agencies are barred from violating the U.S. Constitution, so they get a corporation to do it for them. They try to use this as a loophole.

Except that's what reddit was created for.

That's still not in any way shape or form a violation of your freedom of speech.

Didn't say it was.

The comment I was replying to did. He called it ”shutting down free speech”. I said it wasn't. You agree with me. Good.

Censorship is exactly "shutting down free speech". That should be obvious. No amount of wordplay will change that.

Just because you are unable to separate the first amendment from the concept of free speech, doesnt make you right...

Say something similar about a banker, and the ENTIRE sub gets banned.

FullCommunism posts about sending the capitalists to gulags (mostly satirically?). T_D has a popular post about lynching/guillotining/shooting George Soros every other day. (probably not mostly satirically?). I don't think that holds up.

But, they mean he will have a fair trial beforehand. It is the least we can do... Many of the people killed in the wars created by Soros and the International Bankers never got a fair trial. They were killed like insects so that these people can make a buck.

But, they mean he will have a fair trial beforehand.

Maybe? They don't say it, though. My point is that both T_D and FullCommunism have called for killing bankers and haven't been banned.

I believe it. I don't see why the entire sub was banned, along with certain mods. They did not just ban the posts and the people who made the posts. Very strange, unless they have an agenda.

Once again, saying what's going to happen as the result of a conviction of a crime is a far cry from INCITING VIOLENCE. If you say otherwise you're a goddamn moron.

Well argued. Adieu

Literally every liberal sub talks about punching Nazis. That's violence. They praise and cheer man shooting up republican baseball game or anything remotely right getting hurt. That's promoting literal violence. Latestage talks about killing the elite and overthrowing capitalist pigs all the time. Same with communism. Those subs are allowed to stay active and recommended all the time by "the algorithm". Definitely not promoted by the communist fucks that run this site.

I think the distinction would be in how apt are the mods at enforcing and policing the ”no inciting violence” policy. Not saying you're necessarily wrong (on the merit; your tone is crazy) but that's a factor.

And T_D has posts about lynching/shooting politicians they don't like. So yeah, probably didn't get taken down just for that

So people do t say stuff like that in literally every other sub, like r/politics.

I guess punching Nazis doesn't qualify as inciting violence. Same old reddit.

Real Nazi's are an enemy of the American people. I'm fine with that.

The new neo-nazis are a bunch of pussies who get beat up by Antifa nerds lol.

What are real nazis? Aren't they all 90+ years old now?

I wouldn't have an issue with someone saying punch Isis. These are specific enemies. Same with Nazis.

Most are 80+ or dead. Nazis are enemies of the American people and the Allies for the things they did to our troops.

All the new neo nazis are a bunch of larpers doing it for online fame. None of them are even pure blooded Aryans.

They are still bad guys, just playing for a different team aka the CIA.

The UK and Russia also got some of those. Why, to be able to continue the programs started just for their benefit. These scientists knew what they were doing, they aren't innocent.

The fact this is downvoted is all any organic user here needs to know.

This is crazy, reminds me of /r/pizzagate :(

I literally just commented over there before my lunch break. Gone with the wind. They also banned or r/uncensorednews.

When we discovered Keystone....that changed everything...and POOF.....BANNED

Broken link. Heads up.

To avoid censoring/deletion. Paste it all together.

Ahhhh. Gotcha. I also read the mod post at the top of the page when I scrolled up. Makes sense. Thought you just might hit the spacebar by accident.

No prob!

Erh ok, but why is kstone a big deal? I mean, NSA spying was quickly accepted worldwide and people still use compromised technology like it was no issue.

Just further proves that our tech is completely compromised. Also the fact that other programs like VLC and some anti-viruses are compromised and DO NOT in fact offer protection.

Thanks for clarifying that! I'm going with the alternative explanation, that the subreddit had some offensive users and didn't remove them.

I actually skimmed the sub a few days ago, and recent thing that stood out was when Trump seemed to confirm Q's signal via a speech.

I also saw a photograph of L Rothschild in front of a moloch-painting, but not necessarily a new photo or leak.

What about what your describing counts as violent, threatening, or doxxing??

How so?

when Trump seemed to confirm Q's signal via a speech.

Sounds fair and civil.

a countdown exists within Q's post numbering

Sounds fair and civil.

that Nov 11th is an important date to watch.

Sounds fair and civil.

a photograph of L Rothschild in front of a moloch-painting

Sounds fair and civil. The image seems to have been publicly available and was only shared because of public concern. I've seen video testimonies from children raped and killed by the elites. L Rothschild hosted the ex-boyfriend of the man who is central to pizzag ate, so they know each other to some degree. Moloch is a classic god that is known for giving power if children are sacrificed. If L Rothschild has a huge painting of that god in her house, that's a cause for public concern. Check out the judicial concept "necessity defense": https://www.justia.com/criminal/defenses/necessity/

"The defendant must reasonably have believed that there was an actual and specific threat that required immediate action

The defendant must have had no realistic alternative to completing the criminal act

The harm caused by the criminal act must not be greater than the harm avoided

The defendant did not himself contribute to or cause the threat"

recent focus on Merkel as a descendant of Adolf Hitler

Again, public concern could possibly justify exposure of Merkel's past.

Outstanding KeK!

Never went to cbts_stream but good riddance of unsensorednews.

Uncensorednews was more like cherry picked racist news. They would cherrypick non whites getting arrested and then a bunch of bigots would leave racist ass comments. I remember I was excited to see a sub dedicated to unfiltered news but after having been subbed a few months you could tell it was definitely filtered for white supremacists' to all jack each other off to

I'm the furthest from a white supremacist, but censorship over people saying things you don't believe in is never the way to go. Slippery slope.

I mean, I was subbed there for a while and definitely identify with conservative philosophies but I'm not a racist. There were definitely terms of service violations in that sub regardless of my personal feelings. Inciting violence against specific people just one, extremely common, example.

What examples do you have? Because I'm sure it's easy to make claims like that when the evidence to back up your accusations is no longer available.

You realize what a senseless and fallacious counter point this is right? Your incredulity can go both ways. The sub is dead. Clearly I have no solid examples for you. Do you see the many other users echoing largely my same laments of the sub? Excited for an unsensored themed sub, disappointment months later as it turned out to be a secret racism waking haven. Just popping in to reply to your ass I see at least 3 others.

That point being made I'll take the bait. A common l, common example that anyone who browsed the sub (who wouldn't be asking your questions in the first place) can vouch for would be minorities in Europe with the influx of refugees. Many posts were of some migrant fucking up, non white of course, and of all the many commenters, ones riding the most upvotes would often be of a flavor of "the guards should do the world a favor and hang (slur) in his cell"

It's like sure, this happened, that minority raped somebody or what have you. How many white people getting arrested for the same in this "unsensored" sub were posted about? Just about 0. The couple I remember, the people were usually on his side in some convoluted reasoning or another.

You wouldn't have liked that cesspool then, they completely censored anyone who went against their weird little white supremacist groupthink.

you and i both know there is a very big difference between mods removing an individual's comment in a particular sub and one of the biggest online forums silencing a community (not just one individual) for wrongthink

It was super terrible. They were heavily censored. I got banned immediately because I tried giving real sources on a terrible clickbait article that someone posted. It was worse than t_d when it came to posting normal human stuff.

This is true but they still have that right to be vulgar and racist no matter how bad it made them look.

You can feel as racist as you want to and discuss it but there were ToS violations there on the daily. Inciting/encouraging violence against certain people just one example

If you find a sub that was as terrible as them but on another team, please post it here. Politics is dumb but they're not an example if you have s rational mind (not directed at you but just the weird nonsense I see posted here).

What right? It's the internet mate. Follow the TOS or find another site. Not all shit opinions are created equal or just accepted. Get over it

I guess I'll report you for your opinion because I deem it shit. That's equal right?

If I broke TOS, sure.

That's not at all what went on there. They discussed Q-Anon's posts and related research.

I hope to god you're talking about cbts_stream bc you're blind or either never checked unsensorednews man. There's was maybe 3% valuable discussion content on that sub. You might have happened upon 1 legitimate post out of 100s

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Unknown

https://www.youtu be.com/watch?v=xe9TfmHXF8M

The Purge is On: Reddit, FB, YT, Goolag, etc

They just banned r/UncensoredNews yesterday also. It had 100k subs. It seems like they are banning and censoring any sub that isn't a liberal echo-chamber.

It seems like they are banning and censoring any sub that isn't a partisan echo-chamber.

FTFY.

Which liberal echo-chamber subreddits have been banned?

Did you even stop and take a second to consider why I changed your word "liberal" to partisan? That was the point of my reply. Deal with it directly.

You really think they have the intellect to understand that? I suspect both of them define political idealogies based on whatever they dislike independent of actual beliefs.

Somebody does I hope. But for anyone else reading who is not sure, I'll give an example. Recently one of the supposedly "liberal" subs was praising George W. Bush, not only for criticizing Donald Trump, but they went on to say he wasn't so bad, or he had humanity, or he did x or y good things.

"Liberals" wouldn't be praising George W. Bush. Partisans might.

You didn't fix it, that makes no sense. 95% of subs on Reddit are liberal echo chambers and they don't get banned.

Methinks you need to learn what "liberal" and "conservative" are before posting again. Hint, they aren't whatever you want them to be, independent of any actual beliefs. And they're definitely not defined by what you don't like.

You're right, actually. They aren't liberal echo-chambers, they're leftist echo-chambers. Most of the real liberals are labeled "conservative" these days.

The uncensored news removal is interesting. That sub was created as a result of censoring discussion around the Snowdan information on domestic spying. Subscribers of news and worldnews became frustrated with topics in the news they wanted to discuss being removed by mods on the default subs, so created a new sub.

That's what happens when throwing a brick into the wasp nest to disrupt conversation. The swarm takes flight and settles three new nests expanding visibility and complicating containment.

But then it turned into a race baiting shit hole.

Why is it that people are going around acting like UncensoredNews wasn't literally filled with people calling for mass genocide? Even if it was a false flag, the mods blatantly allowed it and took zero steps to do anything. I would go so far to say as they encouraged it.

I think a lot of the defenders are people that used it and call themselves “race realists”. They want it back to “red pill” and radicalize more people to be like them.

Because those people played into it and enjoyed that type of shit.

t his is p!sy ops, and t his is h ow they keep us divi ded r ight, don't fa ll for it for Gents, M a% g a

Eh, I was a subscriber there to get the occasional actual uncensored news story, but it was full of shameless racism and flat-out calls for violence. The mods didn't give a shit and did nothing to clean it up, so they got banned. I can't imagine it came out of the blue.

but it was full of shameless racism and flat-out calls for violence.

This tactic is used to shut down subs.

The tactic used to shut down subs where the mods do literally nothing to stop it, despite it being very obvious and well known.

Moderating a sub requires significant time and effort that is difficult to provide on a volunteer basis. If your small community grows rapidly, you quickly need more mods to handle the load. With inviting in additional mods come its own headaches as new mods is the primary avenue used to take over subs and grab power within a community. There is a whole host of strategies for agitation that can be deployed once on the inside. Don't really see fault in moderators given the thankless dirty job volunteer moderating entails.

Okay, so you know what you do when you can no longer stop a subreddit from being a toxic shithole calling for mass genocide? You ban it. If it can't be controlled by the mods, then too bad.

Everyone keeps trying to work this argument in but it is ignoring the fact that the moderators of /r/uncensorednews were actual neo-nazis and white supremacists. They didn't fail to moderate because it was too much work, they chose not to moderate because this was the content they wanted in their sub. And I'm being hyperbolic when I say they were neo-nazis, these were their own words at numerous times in the past. They didn't deny it or try to hide it, they proudly admitted it. Several of the mods even moderated /r/nazi and /r/europeannationalism when those subs still existed.

Everyone keeps trying to work this argument in but it is ignoring the fact that the moderators of /r/uncensorednews were actual neo-nazis and white supremacists.

Bold claim. Sources?

I suppose me saying that I saw it myself when I was subscribed there for like the first month of the sub isn't going to be good enough? They would regularly say this when users called out the racist content in the sub. They didn't even try to hide it, and I have a feeling if they were here now they wouldn't deny it either. I don't have any screenshots from that long ago, and the subreddit and the moderators' accounts have all been removed. You can still use SnoopSnoo to get some basic history from all of the mods though. One of them had his top three subreddits as uncensorednews, europeannationalism, and DylannRoofinnocent. One of his top used words was "white". Another had "jew" as his top word. I know, that's not hard proof of anything, but that's the best I can scrape up this quickly. I can keep digging a bit later and see what else I can find if you want.

The things I see in r/conspiracy these days. Too many people advocating for censorship.

There's a difference between advocating censorship and advocating mods not letting people preach mass genocide and expecting no repercussions on a privately owned forum.

Whatever helps you rationalize that mate.

It was the uncensorednews mods fault that it got shut down.

The mods here play the hand they are dealt (e.g. no Voat links) but at least the sub stays live.

Its a pretty obvious tactic at that....

For once it was for real, I swear. The main mod was a proud and un-ironic skinhead from Finland, and quite infamous. He belonged to the Nordic Resistance Group and changed the subreddit's header to have their logo on it, and would often advertise his white supremacist sites by stickying mod comments on top of unrelated threads.

This is the ONLY time it really was nazis, please believe me. It wasn't "disagreed with SJWs". I agree with every other deletion being BS, but not Uncensorednews. He (ramblingrambo) often unabashedly commented on how women, black people, people who don't own any land, unfit people etc. should not vote and how non-whites should be driven out of white countries. He had a swastika next to his username too.

There is definitely a theme to the censorship on reddit and elsewhere.

That sub was 100% full of neo nazis, they didn't even try to be subtle about it.

"UncensoredNews" was the most heavily censored sub I've seen short of Pyongyang and FullCommunism. It doesn't get any more echo chamber than that.

YES.....Reddit JUST banned r/CBTS_Stream......Say what you want about Q and their research forum, but in NO WAY did r/CBTS "encourage or incite violence/post personal/confidential information"....Reddit trying to SILENCE people AGAIN. People here should be just as alarmed. They could shut down r/conspiracy just as fast!!!

What the fuck did CBTS etc even stand for or mean? First time I've heard of it.

Calm Before The Storm. Mostly a Q research board. It triggered someone apparently.

Interesting, thanks. I remember when Trump made that ominous statement at that press briefing public thing.

You should look into it. My source was with Trump when he posted in some of the Q threads, the ones signed 4 10 20.

Yes they did. Mod level doxxing etc.

shills are pushing hard to get r_conspiracy, and T_D banned.

they don't need to ban conspiracy. this place is already shilled to death, constant attacks on people wanting to explore conspiracies they politically disagree with

Hey all.

Do not, under any circumstances, link to archives, screenshots, or crossposts of content that may have resulted in the banning of CBTS. This includes voat links or links from outside reddit.

We will not be checking outside links for the possibility of content that resulted in the ban of that subreddit.

If you see any content being linked or posted here that may have resulted in the banning of CBTS please directly message the mod team with a link to the content.

Thanks!

Was the ban justified?

I don't know anything about the circumstances surrounding the ban.

OK. Just curious. Me neither. I was driving and listening to the livestream when I learned of it.

I would look into the mods that were involved with the "Voat Exodus" all the mods at that time were less than a month in I think. Very weird.

I've seen evidence in the other thread and elsewhere of moderator level doxxing, and general calls for violence that were not removed.

what is CBTS?

Calm Before The Storm

Interesting.

About 3/4 of CBTS_Stream came in as troll accounts trying to slide and disrupt discussion. The campaign to disrupt has followed the topic across multiple platforms.

Effort frequently includes taking a line of discussion being researched and delved into, then attributing big foot, UFOs, some wild conspiracy direction. Attaching a line of reasoning easy to dismiss and distracting from the actual topic of research.

On the 4chan side the ongoing campaign to shut down conversation included mass posting of gore filling up topics to make it more difficult to coordinate. Eventually the platform had security issues that lead to moving elsewhere.

Given the opposition this sub has faced on every platform its landed I suspect inciting violence content was most likely seeded by the very same people trying to shut down communication on the topic.

Perfectly put!

Your last paragraph is spot on.

Excellent post!

Reddit is using false flagging to ban subs they disagree with, or in the case of stuff like deepfakes they're just redefining their rules to get ahead of a potential PR problem. This site is in the shitter and I hope a competitor kills it soon, i'd be happy to never use it again.

Yea. I've been planning on getting on my desktop to delete my account. Looks like tomorrow when I get home will be the day

Please do it, we need to leave this censorship shit hole. I followed CBTS closely, mods were always on using about no personal info. There was absolutely nothing violent going on there. It was harmless, but apparently not harmless to everyone....

They've found some magic words ("inciting violence") that they can use to ban groups without stirring up outrage. They don't know or care what the words mean; they just know that people find their actions justified when they say them. Magic words like that only work a few times before people realize they are just that. A year or two ago the magic words were "publishing personal information." A month or two ago they were "involuntary pornography."

When they banned the uncensored news subreddit, they used the same excuse, and there was a swarm of people defending the act and foaming at the mouth to demand censorship of stuff they found offensive.

Hope they ban the_donald next

Why do you hate free speech?

Truth hurts, apparently.

I’ll finally have a reason to leave this shit website

What violence? This is bullshit.

per the discussion elsewhere, there's a vidya release coming of Hillary molesting a child.

hence why many anti pedo/demotard sub's are being shut down

Four hours later and I barely got a notification about your comment, kinda odd.

So, what is the plan for when this sub gets banned? This and T_D are next. Should we all meet at Starbucks?

Or you all can just get a real job instead of trolling online :)`

This place is controlled, they don't need to ban it.

You will be next. Banning CBTS is a blatant strike at freedom of 1) Speech, 2) Assembly and ) Press, as this is a new form of that wide dissemination of information, opinion and feedback that we associate with a free press. Only difference being it is owned by the Anonymous People and not an anonymous corporation. This must not prevail.

18 U.S. Code § 2385 - ADVOCATING OVERTHROW OF GOVERNMENT Just what does that mean?

REDDIT has knowingly and willfully advocated, abetted, advised and taught the duty, necessity, desireability and propriety of undermining the basic unit of social order in our nation: self-governance made possible by a civilized people who have set aside weapons and instead use words to sort out and resolve differences.

By dissolving the CBTS Subreddit (Calm Before The Storm), representing a vital political sunbdivision of these United States, banning its users and destroying the intellectual property produced by them, the REDDIT moderators launched an assault on every aspect of the First Amendment: an ACT prohibiting protected speech, an ACT denying freedom of assembly, an ACT impeding the formation of closely held beliefs and the free exercise thereof. As CBTS served as a self-published news service followed by thousands, providing information, interactive analysis and participant commentary that was read, digested and debated vigorously, it deserves every protection offered to the traditional free press, this ACT also violated that guarantee.

This ACT is more than the mere dispersion of a dissonant group of intellectuals. It is encouraging others to advocate for censorship and other ways to gag free speach, assembly and public expression of opposing views; sometime resorting to intimidation and violence to that end.

This ACT is an attack on the fundamentals of governance enshrined in the United States Constitution and, left to run its course, will pose as serious threat to the stability and continuance of our form of government. In effect, Reddit's ACT today is advocating the eventual overthrow of our Government. [18 USC § 2385]

Just shooting false flags - It was a hit.

" First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win"?

" The Only Difference in Conspiracy Theory and Truth Is Time" - Me. Use. Spread It. Thank you.

" In a Time of Universal Deceit - Telling the Truth Is a Revolutionary Act " - George Orwell

" Its easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled ". - Mark Twain

" To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize". - Voltaire

They were already trying to move their users to voat and they got themselves banned on purpose to that end, and for added allure and edginess.

False flag.

Fuck this.

Which liberal echo-chamber subreddits have been banned?

You didn't fix it, that makes no sense. 95% of subs on Reddit are liberal echo chambers and they don't get banned.

You don’t have the right for a private company having to pay for the server space and bandwidth to host your thoughts. Like you don’t have a 1st embedment right to writing a column for the NYT or to have a segment on Fox. If they want to throw you off their servers because they don’t like you (or me), they should be able to.

Freedom of speech just means the government should not arrest you or detain you or compel your speech. A sub being banned does none of those things. Stop whining.

You can feel as racist as you want to and discuss it but there were ToS violations there on the daily. Inciting/encouraging violence against certain people just one example

Say something similar about a banker, and the ENTIRE sub gets banned.

FullCommunism posts about sending the capitalists to gulags (mostly satirically?). T_D has a popular post about lynching/guillotining/shooting George Soros every other day. (probably not mostly satirically?). I don't think that holds up.

I wish. I really do.

Wouldn't it be crazy if it were true, but most of the world did not realize it? It is true, and it is crazy.

Kind of an extraordinary claim -- I'm all for being inquisitive, but saying that the world is being run by a millennias-old cult of Moloch worshippers with no evidence other than random 4Chan posts is a little bit much

What right? It's the internet mate. Follow the TOS or find another site. Not all shit opinions are created equal or just accepted. Get over it
