PERVERSELY CURIOUS AS to how long Facebook's overtly Neoliberal, incipiently ChristoNazi censors might allow it to remain up, I posted the following to the Tacoma Communist Labor Party's FB site a few minutes ago:
THE END: Facebook's censors locked me out of this page for the past five days, thereby destroying the day-to-day connection and relationship between FB and my blog, Dispatches from Dystopia. Obviously I can no longer trust FB to carry any genuinely relevant news; the first report it suppressed last Wednesday (30 January 2019) was "If the Supreme Court Doesn't Stay a Louisiana Law Next Week, Roe v. Way Will Be All but Dead," and though FB censors finally allowed the story to appear a few moments ago, its old-news tardiness has reduced it to nothing more than a historical footnote. Because this is not the first time my reportorial efforts have been undone by FB censorship -- see today's Dispatches for details -- I will no longer attempt to post on any FB site and am re-formatting Dispatches accordingly. My apology to those who may thusly be inconvenienced.
Obviously FB's censors and their robotic slaves (whether human or electronic) have figured out "Loren Tacoma" is the Loren Bliss they permanently banished in 2010 for daring to suggest the so-called "Great Recession" was deliberately inflicted as a means of expediting Neoliberal/ChristoNazi destruction of governmental social services and indeed all other governmental services that do not serve our Capitalist overlords specifically as armies of conquest, death squads, domestic stormtroopers, secret police and any other tyranny or apocalypse-facilitating functions. Not only was that 2010 post disappeared literally within minutes of its posting; FB also severed (and obstructed forever) the permalink between itself and my blog -- a definitively hostile act Typepad technical experts said they had never before encountered. Hence eight years later, when -- at the insistence of my CLP comrades -- I resumed my relationship with FB, it was of course not as Loren Bliss but as "Loren Tacoma."
Vital reports from last week's alternative Internet news sources obstructed by this episode of FB censorship include the following:

And so collaborated with their more overtly ChristoNazi Congressional colleagues to ensure the extinction of our species and the reduction of our Mother Earth to a bug planet.
(Heads from original texts are in boldface; my comments are in lightface italic.)
Obviously I knew FB's censors would eventually see through the "Loren Tacoma" deception, so I am not at all surprised by what obtained. Moreover because of my old age and the sort of traditional liberal-arts education we USians are now forever forbidden, I am wise enough and knowledgeable enough to resist the must-use brainwashing by which younger USians have been conditioned to believe they cannot survive without 100 percent dependence on electronic media -- a system that was from its earliest conceptual moments intended to function as the most effective surveillance apparatus our species has yet developed. Indeed I cheer the Russian countermeasures -- reversion to typewriters, mimeograph machines and non-electronic transmission -- as the only truly effective defense against the 100-percent surveillance to which all social-media users must submissively surrender each time we turn on a cellphone or a computer.
As a result, it's back to the drawing board for Dispatches. Don't know when I will resume regular posting, but it will be as soon as possible, so please stay tuned.
Meanwhile a slightly belated Joyous Imbolg with an evocative blessing for us all and a heartfelt thank-you for your faithful readership.
