    That's right! I forgot to mention to search for: ' "jordanian militia" -danleonida -zeropaid -whatismyip '

    I just tried it from Vancouver, Canada and only got 93 hits! Here's the link:

    http://www.google.com/search?q="jord...p -mybroadband

    Thx. for reminding me!

    Zeropaid.com is a forum that was open for about a month and 7990 views, then closed!

    WhatIsMyIP.com is another forum that was quite active. I just got a very polite post from the admin saying they don't want this topic to 'grow' on their forum because of business reasons. Have a look:

    http://forum.whatismyip.com/f26/inte...sorship-t1942/

    It did get some 1500+ views in the less then two months since I started it!

    Be good and do disturb!
    Not disturbed enough yet!

    Both of these sites (ZeroPaid.com and cycling74.com) seem very specific and non military.
    ZeroPaid also deleted a post entitled “Adult Section Links”.
    So...You are familiar with Zippy! Next time you are there say hello for me to the mod gang! They acted on "high level imperatives" just like Google did! I have no hard feelings and I hope it's mutual!

    The full Zippy threads are still available from my Cloud Nine of Outer Space:

    ===========================================

    “1. 'Jordanian militia' is censored on the Internet in Canada! WHY? WHY? WHY? Help anyone

    Hi all!

    I'm in Vancouver, Canada and some time ago I developed an interest in "Jordanian militia"

    I searched for it and was very surprised by the very low numbers of hits I was getting from all engines I tried (Yahoo, MSN, Google, Blekko, Bing, etc., etc.!) I even got nothing from the CIA website and their World Factbook!!

    I suspected Internet censoring and set out to prove it. I created and Excel file (almost 25 Mbytes which I'm willing to share/publish) in which I searched and recorded the hits (MSN, Yahoo, Google and some CIA) of almost 10k of the darnest things I could think of!

    The "Jordanian militia" came in in the first percentile when the file was sorted in the order of increasing number of hits. I used the average hit counts from MSN, Yahoo and Google for the sorting. Its average hit-count was 18. Other odd ones: Rummedin Fayziddinovich Sharpov = 19, Magnanimous and Invincible Order of Blackmen = 21, Castrators of Russia = 844 (no joke!), Togo Pogo Stick Union = 41 (still no joke!), homemade thermonuclear device = 32 (serious as before!), etc., etc. for over 9000 times.

    Of fewer than 'Jordanian militia' hits are three Guantanamo Bay alumni, one serial killer, 13 Malaysian poisons, 54 trade unions, two Christian Democratic parties, one hate group, two communist parties, six U.S. militias, four convicted ex-cult leaders, one suicide attack in Israel, two Norwegian fjords and a partridge in a pear tree! ;o)

    I would very much want to find out if searches for “Jordanian militia” are similar elsewhere in the world. So...

    If anybody reading the present post is willing to land a hand, I can be reached at danleonida-at-yahoo-dot-com, or on this forum. I started a campaign of forum posts, such as the preset one, yesterday and the results are already coming in.

    I posted in the morning on this thread: http://cycling74.com/forums/topic.php?id=37616

    My post was: http://cycling74.com/forums/topic.php?id=40296

    By early evening my post was deleted and the whole tread was shadow-filtered (could only get to the thread via my own URL. The thread was NOT in the Forum Index! I understand why they shadow-filtered the thread. Cycling74 just writes software for artists! The thread just didn’t belong there! BUT… Why did they have to delete mine?! (

    Please include the general location of the searches and a date, should you decide to land a hand.

    If it's not too difficult, I would appreciate screenshot of the first page of search results to the email above. (Screenshots how to: The "Print Screen/SysRq" key in the upper right hand corner of your keyboard will place the screen - pixel be pixel - on the clipboard. It can then be pasted in MS Word, Excel, or what have you.)

    Thx in advance and

    c u –dan

    P.S. The 25 Meg Excel file is clean, presentable, easy to navigate, includes screenshots of some of the “problems“’ I have encountered during the six months of work and the Excel file is Copylefted. Anybody is more that welcome to it, if desired. It even has a “Help Wanted“ tab already hyperlinked such that searches are only one click away. “

    ===========================================

    The thread was locked at first, then deleted/hidden despite its popularity:

    The complete thread as well as two others where I contributed got deleted and I eventually got banned follow:

    I would like to continue the same discussion – with the moderators/administrators permission – on an offshore forum.

    That is what brings me here today! I'll more than glad to answer as many quetions as I can.

    Some - of the few - hits describe it as an organization friendly to the West [cntrl-f militia]:

    http://news.newamericamedia.org/news...article_id=831

    Others describe them more as a terrorist group fighting alongside PLO:

    http://www.nbcuniversalarchives.com/...2472005_s01.do

    ...or crashing Jewish headstones to make cement [cntrl-f militia in following url]:

    Zeropaid (Zippy) received "high-level imperatives" (just as google did) to prevent all dialogue on the topic. Posters were deleted and their accounts closed if NOT ON THE APPROVED LIST.

    The following links are to automated emails from Zippy subscribed threads. The links within emails lead NOWHERE! Honeyjasmin was deleted/terminated just for saying “That’s a nice post” or something.

    Eventually the mods/admins disabled emails from deleted posts. Let me put it another way… The thread got 7990 views when it was hidden/deleted (Why didn’t they just lock it?!) and NOT ONE intelligent reply? Just look for yourself!

    Why do you consider the subject of Internet censorship as belonging with history revisionism?!

    Now you got me puzzled!
    ====================================
    After posting above, I went out to look at some other of your posts. The following intrigued me:

    http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthre...t=#post8591133

    I also found an identical post by 'infidel' here:

    http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t823672/

    Infidel credits it to 'The Decision to Use the Bomb' by Gar Alperovitz!!!

    At least I think is the same post. I only googled the last paragraph and only read the full post on mybroadband:

    http://www.google.com/search?q=%22jo...w=1280&bih=799

    Talking about stormfront!

    FFS stop ending all your posts with your email address. No wonder there's censorship in Canada if you all behave like this. Eh??!!

    Don't be a prick. He leaves his email in case someone equally enthusiastic about internet censorship wants to contact him directly. Obviously.

    Thx. again! I was contacted from SA already.

    BTW, given my suspicious nature that I acquired by necessity, I think the "high level imperatives” I talk about in post #22 also apply to MyBB. I want to contact the mods/admins and ask them about it. Being new here, I don't know who they are, yet. Can you help?

    Q: Is it normal for MyBB to be so lively the first day and quiet the next?

    Cheers,

    I forgot to include the link to the main body of research on "jordanian militia". It is included in the deleted Zippy thread, but not many people had a look at it.

    Is it some kind of forum etiquette violation? I hope not!

    The Zippy thread was a positive and fun learning experience for me. Here's the link again, just in case...

    http://www.4shared.com/folder/cwuaPr...3_Threads.html

    The main body of research is an Excel file (25 Mbytes) that compare the hit-count of over 9000 entries in Google, Yahoo, MSN and some CIA! I gave up on the later because of their slowness. The file includes some peculiar findings as well as screenshot of some of the adventures I encountered while compiling it! It is NOT just boring numbers! Here it is in both Excel and OpenOffice format:

    2012.06.15...MAIN CENSORSHIP -- Excel & OpenOffice.ods
    2012.06.15...MAIN CENSORSHIP -- Excel & OpenOffice.xls

    Have fun and remember...

    IMHO, Curiosity is NOT a threat!

    I did a reverse trace on MyBB and here's what I found:

    https://ipdb.at/ip/41.203.21.137

    or, if the link does not work, here's my saved copy of the screenshot:

    Crop Circles next to MyBB in SA!

    Are those thinggies 'crop circles' and is MyBB really from outer space?
