 Censorship?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Well now, after being reasonably ignored for quite some time now, apparently the PIETECH BUILDER\u2019S MANUAL seems to have caught some unwanted attention. Out of sheer convenience, I decided to use the eBay platform as a service for interested people to purchase the manual. After being listed for just two weeks, the listing has suddenly \u201cdisappeared\u201d completely from eBay and erased from their archives. After speaking with a genuine human being at eBay they now claim that I must have never had such a listing as they show NO ACTIVITY on my seller account over the last 90 days. Since at the time of this writing, it was listed on eBay 15 days ago and I still have the link to the now non-existent listing saved, both on the PIETECH web page and other media as well, I am very certain that it wasn\u2019t a dream.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

This, of course, happened on the same day that YouTube issued another crack-down on anyone speaking about corruption within the US election, immediately removing entire channels for simply voicing an opinion. These are online corporate strong-arm tactics at their worst and simply underline the need for private web sites to voice those opinions and highlight relevant facts.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Maybe we need to start an old fashioned \u201cweb ring\u201d as a \u201cNo Censorship Zone\u201d.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

I have experienced this type of censorship before, but I really was hoping that we as a people had gotten past this covert draconianism (echoes of the \u201ccold war\u201d) but apparently not. <\/o:p><\/p>\n

I suppose that I should actually take this as a form of encouragement. After all, if there was \u201cnothing to it\u201d nobody would take the time to censor it and if I weren\u2019t on the right track it would not be perceived as a threat within some corporate-type organization.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

I will make a new listing for a place to purchase the manual and I will keep publishing the ongoing work with \u201creactionless propulsion\u201d as public as possible, after all there is at least some \u201csafety in numbers\u201d.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

I will also begin the creation of a private online store so that the likes of eBay and Amazon will have no control over what is listed, said, printed or sold. Maybe I will host my own videos as well\u2026 We shall see\u2026<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Thanks for letting me rant! Good day.<\/o:p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
