If you are going to call someone controlled opposition, why not do it directly? As if some cannot understand the implications of the title. Good job supporting “lesser evil” Gary Johnson, though. Much less evil than Trump even though he wanted to use force in very similar ways, if on a smaller scale.
In short, nice hit video. Maybe Alex is just trying to be “pragmatic” by reaching the larger audience on YouTube. You know, as you say, we should be pushing “the movement” forward, and not debating with each other.
I agree @kafkanarchy84 , in addition to that: The steem blockchain may in fact be censorship-free, however the Steemit UI is not. Steemit allows for powerful users to soft-censor the posts of other users. This results in posts getting dithered out, and being hidden from view. It can also result in comments being collapsed, and then dithered out. It may also lead to potential rewards being diverted to their intended recipients, and sent back to the reward pool.
I don't blame Adam for having fallen for Steemit's clever propaganda about being censorship free, I fell for the same thing. However, if you listen closely to them when they talk about it being censorship free, they are always talking about the blockchain and never the actual UI itself.
Ultimately, if Jones comes to the platform he will be able to easily defeat any censorship efforts at first. That is until the George Soros funded instaWHALES are activated. Then he'll be so busy trying to fight steemit censorship and engaging in downvote wars that he'll lose focus of the more important aspect of the info war. It might be better if Alex Joined one of the other services on the blockchain that don't engage in soft-censorship.
Busy.org doesn't hide flagged content, I don't believe it does. D.tube might not either, I am not sure though. One thing I know for certain that Jones would be interested in about Steem is the last paragraph of page 16 in the whitepaper. Jones focused allot on Sean Parker, when he came out to reveal how facebook was exploiting a vulnerability in the human psyche. Well Steem has that fact written right into their whitepaper.
Prepare for the great MEME Steem war of 2018, the censorship will be exposed!
It's intellectually dishonest for this platform to hide behind the uncensored nature of the blockchain when promoting Steemit, as if though Steemit has the same values.
Also, Adam it could be said that you were leading people astray by having them vote for Gary Johnson, he was openly in favor of the carbon credit scheme, and also pro-mandatory vaccination. That guy didn't have a libertarian bone in his body and it absolutely baffled me when you endorsed him. I don't know if all you libertarian folks signed a contract pledging to support the nominee, but if that's what you did, I would encourage you to try and get out of that contract. That endorsement was absolutely mind-boggling to say the very least of it!
I wish your comment could be resteemed.
As for the title by Adam. I find it typical of a growing number of people on the web. Alex Jones has spent his entire life arguing and exposing the Cabal, at a time when others would be killed for doing the same, yet now he is working with them? What are the other accusations I have heard? That he does it for the money and, that he is an Israeli and is trying to influence us so that we love Israel. Really? Is that why he is against the son in law of Trump?
To me, all the above, it does not say anything bad about Alex, just about those who make these allegations (without proof of course) and I have even less respect for those who do so without speaking out clearly, just imlying....
I find Alex annoying, but it is because I have old fashioned ideas of what I find dignified, but he obviously knows what he is doing, as apparently many love the fact that he hams it up now and then, otherwise, I must say I have never seen him make a false allecation - and if he makes a mistake, he is the first to broadcast an apology.
Perhaps Adam does have some good ideas in his book, but the truth is, he has lost me and I will bot be reading it, thanks to his underhanded methods.

I downloaded the pdf, but did not see any article with numbers, so I presume you are speaking of the psychology as outlined for the casinos? If so, I agree, it is definitely horrible and typical of the so-called Elite Cabal. A pity this is true for Steemit. I've already had a couple of fights with dolphins and I was threatened I would be flagged to zero (I did not and do not care, it is not as if I have drawn a cent or made a huge capital amount.)
My fights were about censorship (you guessed it? I am pro antivaccine posts and one was attacked; so was an author of very well-written books). They claimed that by making their posts not visible, it is not censorship, since anyone can click to make them cisible for a while. I told them it is in effect censorship and I finally had to stop, for they very doggedly insisted on them being in the right, not conceding any points.
It does mean I am now only half-heartedly posting here. I'll also go take a look at what Kafka mentioned, but I am also thinking, it seems the only way to justify staying here is to deposit some cash so that my upvotes are worth enough and then keep posting and rewarding myself, or helping others to reward me by my rewarding them - as the dolphins and whales do - god, have you checked out their often rubbish posts that earn huge rewards!
Hello @arthur.grafo
Sorry to hear that you too have been a victim of Steemit's soft-censorship, yes it can be very discouraging! You know, I'm holding a contest right now and will be giving away 25.00 sbd.
It's a meme contest intended to point out how ridiculous it is that Steemit engages in soft-censorship. Winners will be announced on the 31st so you have plenty of time to enter.
Also if you get a chance join FFF-SOS (Foundation for Free Speech on SteemitⓀ)
We'll do some virtue signaling of our own, about a value that actually has merit.
"The fact that everyone "wins something" plays on the same psychology that casinos use to keep people gambling. In other words, small rewards help reinforce the idea that it is possible to earn bigger rewards." – SteemWhitePaper.pdf- (Page 16) last paragraph!Thanks for the invite, but I'm not good at memes, I am only good where I can be long-winded - which is why I write stories (one story about 25,000 pages and not finished yet...)
:)
Even a search did not help me find FFF-SOS
@arthur.grafo
Got one here for you, hot off the press!
It's a pretty simple group, but a powerful message.
Wow! - Good luck on your story Sir!
What are you writing about?
It is a fantasy story about a baby girl born with the gift of empathy. Not only can she feel the emotions of others (their emoting), she can also send hers so as to reduce their pain, anger, and so on. She meets a man she feels compelled to be with, and because she is able to take what little he feels for her and send it back with her own feelings, the two of them fall deeply in love - and his mind, because of her constantly 'touching' it, opens and he develops gifts (he refuses to call them powers). He dies and she races after his soul to the void, where the void is already 'streaming' his soul to its next life and she grabs at the core of his soul and brings him back. It takes years for him to grow out of the damage. He evolves, from his natural healing energy a healer and a protector (two faces of the same coin) and since the protector power is what I gifted him (they learn about me) no other Talent, even over million of years, is able to grow as powerful as him.
I am at about the 200th year of their lives and by then, Robert has over fifty wives.
It is a fantasy to amuse myself (I lost my business and had no money to even go out for a coffee), so I started the story. But it also has serious intent. Two of them: I wanted to know what a world would be like if empathy grows (not what I thought) and I also wrote it in the hope of touching the heart of 'good' paedophiles - to me, 'good' paedophiles are those who are attracted to children, but because they idealise them, they refuse to allow themselves to have any kind of sexual relationship with a child, but they do sometimes find themselves tempted, so I wanted to help them keep in mind that a child is not just the body it has; that what is most special about it is its heart and innocent mind. I have had two, one man and one woman, communicate in private messages that I affected them, stopping them at a time they were tempted. A third one asked for my help and luckily he held to his love and a few years later the girl found out how he had felt (he confessed) and she was so horrified, he told me he'll forever be grateful I helped him stop - but he was a drug addict and disappeared.
I do not ask for anyone to follow, even sometimes tell them not to, as I understand that most people would get upset at reading a story that examines such a subject - plus I have at times been extremely upset by real-life cases and built them into the story so that Robert can punish the perpetrators for me (and for the child harmed in this world).
However, I am elderly and alone, so I wanted that my story is on the blockchain before I die, so that I feel it has lived on beyond me.
Was that a long enough (and honest enough) reply?
:)
Gotta be honest man, the beginning part of the story sounded pretty cool, but the other part about pedos, it just gives me the creeps.
Alex Jones wont attack the hand that feed him (zionism)
https://alexjonesexposed.info/
i stopped listening to that disinfo agent half a decade ago
on the other hand i been listening to MIlton William Cooper the whole day, 2 broadcast from before and after the 9/11 attacks.
have you listen to The Hour of the Times ?
if not, shame on you :)
Shame on me? You sound like you are a typical Democrat or a snowflake. Alex Jones is under heavy attack (you do know that he is being accused of being anti-jewish by a former employee?) and you think I should believe nonsense accusations which are not backed by facts, just innuendos and emotional arguments. That is how Antifa works, not how I do.
Actually, your other comment proves you are against conservatives. I suppose Soros is your hero!
However, I do owe you a thank you. Because of your accusations, before answering I wanted to check for facts and found Dr Bill and his video about Islam. It is a bit old but still great. I've now posted it elsewhere for more people to learn the truth. See? Even when globalists try to cause harm, they still get it wrong and unintended good sometimes comes out of it.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, yes, I have downloaded a few of his talks. Since he died years ago, how does he mark me as shameful, intelligent or not since he is hardly relevant anymore?
Yes! The Steemit UI could be compromised in the blink of an eye, and many users would have no idea how to access their funds. We've got a small anarchist network (Just search "Circle of Noisemakers" in the Steemit search bar) we are building if you care to join our old-fashioned support directory, exactly because of these types of realities.
As for the soft-censoring, that is good to know about Busy.org and D.tube.
My main gripe here is that Kokesh is clearly trying to paint Jones as controlled opposition via a cleverly worded title, and attacking him for being pro-Trump, while he himself was pushing not voting "lesser evil," and voting for the "ethical candidate" Gary Johnson. I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught on to this strange contradictory behavior.
Nice, I'll have to check into that circle, as I'm planning on making some noise too!
