MSN Lifts Permanent Ban on Duffminster and Restores Nearly All 7000 Posts that Were Deleted.
I am happy to report that after the overwhelming support of the MSN community and what must have been substantial effort on behalf of MSN staff that the Permanent Ban on Duffminster has been lifted and that despite earlier claims by MSN moderators that there was no way to restore the nearly 7000 posts that were deleted from the MSN boards that I had posted, all of my posts appear to have been restored.
I count this as a victory for Freedom of Speech and a testament to the power of protest and persistence as well as the power of knowledge of how things work in the real world. It is also clear that MSN is one of the few forums in which Freedom of Speech is taken seriously and where alternative views on finance, economy, politics and markets is not only well tolerated but in a reasonably fair way, encouraged. It is why I have most often come here to read, post and participate. This restoration of the deleted content has restored my faith in MSN and that human beings still have relevancy in the very rapidly growing web-sphere I have referred to as "the machine".
Again, thanks to each and everyone of you who persistently pursued justice and the "right thing" in this matter and "never gave up" and for your understanding that Freedom is always worth defending, even if the freedom or speech you are defending doesn't necessarily always represent what you believe. It is the freedom we all believe in. Standing together we can accomplish great things and defend great ideas. Freedom of speech and justice are two of the greatest things we have.
God Bless
Very Truly,
Duffminster

Comments on MSN Lifts Permanent Ban on Duffminster and Restores Nearly All 7000 Posts that Were Deleted.
Hi Duff,
This is a testament to the power of your words! I wanted to post the following here as I see that stocks are blowing the next bubble and people are waiting for R&D to grow here in the US(all the perma-bulls at Market Talk). The article I am including below says differently.
We're busy buying homes we can't afford, then bailing-out the bonuses of the executives of large home builders. We are busy generating enormous profits (read: executive bonuses) for the makers of armaments and the military-industrial complex by buying hugely expensive, unnecessary weapons systems and getting involved in hugely expensive, unnecessary wars. We are busy generating enormous profits & executive bonuses for the war-zone 'reconstruction' companies by paying for hugely expensive, wasteful, inefficient 'reconstruction' projects to rebuild the infrastructure destroyed in said wars. And while we're busy wasting lives and trillions of dollars US treasure on these wasteful projects, while we're busy building the infrastruture of foreign lands and bailing out the bonuses of very rich people, while we're busy treading water and marching in place, China and other countries continue to grow and modernize, and get US jobs. "China Drawing High-Tech Research From U.S. — American companies with factories in China are now building high-tech research labs there as well. For example, Applied Materials labs in Xian, China." — NY Times, today's edition: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/18/business/global…
Hello Rick,
I agree totally with everything you said. We live in a world of vested interests that operate without reference to the common good or of common sense. The Military Industrial Compex comprises a department of offense and not defense. We do not have a Peace Department.
It is a history of false flag operations and manufactured "intelligence" that has acted as political cover for the many adventures designed to feed the huge energy and banking interests new physical resources like Iraqi oil and the pathyway for the new pipeline through Afghanastan.
You are so correct about the US leadership allowing not only most of our manufacturning jobs to move to China but that now our intellectual and creative jobs are heading there as well.
The allow this at the same time they systematically chip away at Civil and Human Rights, promoting a War with Drugs, which is also another huge vested interest for Government, Law Enforcement and acts as an excuse for incursion into sovereign nations.
Alcohol, Cigarettes and Perscription drugs probably kill more people every week than illegal drugs kill in a decade. But they are all right. The Alcohol, Cigarettes adn Perscription Drugs are "Legal" and that makes them Good and Ok. Actually, Alcohol, Cigarettes and Perscription Drugs are a form of warfare on citizens health. I wonder how many people died from usnig Marijuana in the last 10 years? Maybe Zero? I'll bet you 10,000 died in the drug war trying to make a living or feed their family.
The US blatantly uses age old practice from the British and the Nazi's to invade nations.
If you haven't already read it, I recommend this link called
History of American False Flag Operations
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Terrorism/Hx_US_False_Flag_Oper.html
This one also sheds some light on the subject. Many believe that 911 was a false flag operation performed by a cover shadow intellgience group associated with Cheney. if they hadn't destroyed all the Ground Zero materials before doing extensive forensic analysis we might be able to prove it decisively. But they did a great job destroying nearly of of it. Made a great excuse to start a never ending war on "terror".
Duff, thanks for the reply…are you still going to do a general blog? The following is on gold, thought it was interesting. best.
