Subject: My Two-Weeks of "Restrictions" Due to an Unknown Breach of Regulations by Google+ was Never Revealed to Me as to What and Why I was Restricted
My Loyal Readers, Friends, and Loyal Brothers and Sisters-in-Arms dedicated to Liberty:
On February 6, 2014, I received on my Gmail account a message from Google informing me that I had violated again one of its rules and regulations, but did not state as to the reason why. This has occurred before, but not for the reason you may suspect. In either November or early December, I received a notice from Google stating I had been found in violation of one of its policies, but that I was to be placed on a warning and would face penalties for subsequent breaches of rules. Upon receiving the first notice, a moderator in the Republican Party group messaged me to inform me that his group had reported me in a sort of automated manner since my posts were being sent to his group's trash bin, and stated that this issue should be resolved if I write a brief detailing of what each post's subject pertained to "since most members do not read blog posts anyway." I followed the moderator's suggestion and acted accordingly, having done this in every subsequent post, of which there have been very few since July due to my fear of facing targeting by the Obama administration's myriad of resources, as well as on my poetry blog, Tennessee Fried Poetry, Part Deux. I have recently decided to throw caution into the wind and go on the attack once again just as vehemently, voraciously, and directly as I did during the spring and summer months of 2013. I have addressed many issues, but posted many debates I have engaged with members of the Far Left on Facebook forums and even those whom I would consider neoconservatives who border upon socialists and are war-mongers. I also have discussed sociological phenomena, constitutional laws and principles and the Western philosophical concepts which influenced our forefathers upon the founding of Anglo-America in the first permanent settlement in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. Furthermore, I have discussed the GOP's lack of consistency in defending the Establishment Clause within the First Amendment ("right to the free exercise of religion") and the bigotry many conservatives display upon addressing issues pertaining to individuals of different races, ethnicities, religious identities, and cultures, and how that has served as a deterrent to ascertain as many votes from those who identify themselves as "conservative" politically who are therefore lured to the Democratic political candidates due to this scourge. Finally, I have exposed the truth behind the Obama administration's plot to use Obamacare to destroy the U.S. economy and to render the vast majority of citizens to relying upon the federal government in receiving their food, clothing, and shelter in order to survive under what Jay Carney stated as the encouragement of people "achieving their passions." With more than 91 million Americans out of the labor force and in four years more Americans projected to be out of the workforce than those who are and are charged with providing the tax base for subsidizing the majority who are out of work, our nation as we once knew it is on the verge of a catastrophic collapse. The great experiment in the American democratic-republican system of governance will have then been destroyed and in its place, a dictatorship installed.
When I received the notice on February 6, I was stunned. I read very carefully each and every detail of what the message stated. It was very detailed regarding penalties and the types of violations I could be found guilty of committing, most of which were a large variety of bigotries, but also what are considered "adult topics and images," and the sort. The latter appeared fishy, as one can literally stretch the definition of "adult topics and images" to stand for any concept one so wishes. With regards to the issue with bigotry, though, I knew that I had not once written a word which could be defined as racist or bigoted, and to ensure this was the case, I carefully reviewed each and every post since November, and my assertion was indeed correct: there were no bigoted nor racist comments. This baffled me to a enormous extreme, and I therefore replied to the message inquiring what my offense was and if it was a formatting error to a group as it was last time, what I needed to correct the situation in order to avoid future issues. I never received an answer to that message, nor to the next two I wrote over the two weeks I would serve my penalty.
Wednesday was the first day I was eligible to have full operational control over posting comments and sharing my blog articles within my circles. I have not been at my desktop to engage in these activities until today due to my recent bouts with first a six month period of an extreme manic episode, followed by nearly two months of severe depression; I suffer from the most severe form of bipolar disorder with which one may be diagnosed. Today, I feel better than I have in a while, and I am writing to each of you who have so loyally followed my blog and been so kind as to encourage me to continue the fight against the Far Left's attempt to subvert popular sovereignty as guaranteed by our Constitution. I have enjoyed my engagements in conversations with each and every one of you who have been available to chat or simply to reply to comments addressing my posts, whether they are in dissent, in agreement, or in asking a series of questions to clarify what I wrote within my postulations and my derivatives of the conclusions of each article.
As of today at 4:04 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), my blog has received a total of 12,868 page views, or hits, since its launch on May 3, 2013, of which about 76 have been fully published while six were never completed for one reason or another. In all, not bad, not bad at all. My message is spreading, and I have only sparingly posted new articles since July 25, the last day I wrote my mass frequency of posts. This is an average of 169 hits per article, and this is a misleading statistic because by the time I returned to posting in November, I began receiving between 1,000 and 2,000 hits per article, as I had not yet reached the enormous number of regular readers until then. I am humbled to be an individual many of you seem to consider a fairly well-capable analyst of domestic and foreign political situations, as I always predicated my positions upon history, Western political philosophy, and the manner of wielding political power particularly in terms of Machiavellian principles in Niccolo Machiavelli's landmark pamphlet The Prince. I read that pamphlet for two separate political science classes, both pertaining to Western political philosophy. My degree is in History, which I earned at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in 2012, following 11 years of false starts and reboots due to my mental illnesses and three nervous breakdowns. I never submitted to the emotional pain derived from my health issues, and I consider this a key trait to my personality as one very stubborn and tenacious individual who will never stop fighting until I attain my goals, whether or not the final products are ugly in presentation.
Sometimes victories are ugly, and as the old cliche goes, "In order to make an omelet, you have break some eggs." And this will be true in the fight by conservatives, libertarians, and those such as myself who align with the likes of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) as conservative-libertarians, to end the Far Left's hegemony, absolutist rule both in government and pop culture, for as long as our movement chooses wisely its positions to champion, what policies to implement, and how dedicated to the propagation of liberty our elected officials are. So far, our movement is failing due to the fight between the neoconservative faction known as the RINO's and those aligning with the Tea Party. The GOP struggles to come to a consensus on every policy posited by both the Republican caucus in Congress as a collective as well as those from the Democrats. The Democrats have a near-supermajority in the Senate, and due to the "nuclear option" having been achieved by Senate Majority Harry Reid (D-NV), the GOP senators have little control over the bills they may stifle due to the new require for bills to reach a final vote of 51-49 rather than the 60-40 mark once required, and this also includes the measure required to implement cloture to end a filibuster. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) would never have filibustered for 30 seconds had the "nuclear option" been in effect in September 2013. As for the House, the GOP are a majority in name only; Nancy Pelosi controls about a quarter to a third of the Republican representation who as RINO's vote in her favor.
In conclusion, I am going to relate the current state of affairs faced by both our side of the political spectrum, but especially myself, by using University of Tennessee football coach Butch Jones' quest to rebuild the legendary Volunteer football program. UT football has won 805 victories, the eight highest total in college football history, but since 2005, has only enjoyed three winning seasons. The program was nearly destroyed first with Lane Kiffin, the successor to Vol legendary head coach and former All-SEC offensive guard Phillip Fulmer following the latter's dismissal due to his program's decline in 2008. Kiffin coached the program to a 7-6 record in 2009, an improvement from the previous season's 5-7 mark which included a loss on Homecoming to lowly Wyoming. Less than two weeks following the 2008 season's conclusion with UT's embarrassing loss to a far-superior top ten Virginia Tech squad 38-14, Kiffin suddenly resigned his position as my alma mater's head coach to accept the same position at the University of Southern California (USC). What had been a paid lip-service every newly-hired head coach at a major collegiate program states as being his "dream job" was nothing more than a ruse; Kiffin and his wife named their newborn "Knox" while he lived here in my hometown of Knoxville. He played the political and public relations game like a heart from Hell, and just as quickly left within 14 months of his hiring. The gentleman serving at the time as UT's Athletic Director, Mike Hamilton, had been responsible for his hiring and took a great deal of well-deserved heat for his choice after Kiffin's former boss in the late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis placing a phone call to him warning the AD about Kiffin's ruthlessness. It was an irony that this came from Al Davis due to his dubious history of battling first former NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle followed by his successor, Paul Tagliabue, but Davis, a shark in his own right when it comes to achieving the means to his ends, called it as it happened, and Hamilton did not listen. Hamilton immediately engaged in a frantic hunt for a head coach, and quickly found a little known coach from a legendary college football family in Derek Dooley, the former head coach and Athletic Director at Louisiana Tech University and son of iconic University of Georgia head coach Vince Dooley. Dooley was a certified lawyer, and at his insistence, he wrote his own contract in very meticulous detail, including the terms of the buyout of his contract should he be dismissed. Within three years, Dooley was fired, having fielded three consecutive seven loss seasons which resulted in the average attendance at Neyland Stadium declining from 106,000-107,000 during the Fulmer-era to an unofficial total of approximately 68,000 at Homecoming 2012, which was officially announced at 80,000 due to confirmed ticket purchases, in a game the Vols nearly lost to Troy. Dooley was fired following the Vols' blowout loss to instate rival Vanderbilt, 41-17, with one game remaining. The legendary UT football program had hit its lowest point in its 122 year history, of which during that time, 116 teams had been fielded, six national championships (1938, 1940, 1950, 1951, 1967, and 1998), and numerous All-Americans. Oh, and four legendary players named Peyton Manning, Reggie White (RIP), Doug Atkins, and Jason Witten are Vol legacies. Not bad.
In December 2012, Butch Jones, the former head coach at first Central Michigan University for three seasons followed by the University of Cincinnati for another three, was hired, resulting in great scrutiny of the current-Athletic Director Dave Hart, who replaced the embattled Hamilton who was blamed for the firing of Fulmer which was unpopular, the hires of Kiffin and Dooley, the hire of Bruce Pearl who despite leading the UT men's basketball program to its greatest series of successful squads since the Ray Mears (RIP) era (1962-77) and the hiring of another unknown and now-known poor coach in Cuonzo Martin, was relieved of his duties following the 2011 NCAA Tournament Second Round blowout loss to Michigan due to his being under investigation by the NCAA for violations of recruiting protocol and his lying to the Rules Violations Committee that likely would have let him off with a "slap on the wrist" had he not lied. Hamilton also fired UT's most successful head baseball coach in program history in Rod Delmonico, and had successfully almost destroyed the Athletic Department, leaving in his wake upon his dismissal a program hemorrhaging money and millions of dollars in debt, which hurt the academic revenues of the university as well as it claims a portion of the Athletic Department's totals.
Butch Jones inherited a program which had hit its lowest point, and had a plan in place where he promised to do the following things: the program would embark upon an aggressive agenda of progressions in returning to the top of the SEC and national standings using this cliche: "We will rise to the top by building the program 'brick-by-brick.'" And he quickly delivered upon his vow, taking a standing recruiting class which was ranking near 45th nationally under Dooley and increasing it to a national ranking of around 15th nationally according the major collegiate football recruiting media. And this year, despite the Vols, who are now forever to be known as "Team 117" due to the heart and tremendous effort each player gave under Jones yet only finishing 5-7 due to a dearth of talent that was less than the worst of Dooley's and included a win over #11 South Carolina, the first win over a nationally-ranked program since 2009, Jones has amassed a top five recruiting class, ranked no lower than fifth nationally and in some services, higher than that. He has kept his promise, and Team 118 should see improvement despite a large contingent of freshmen who will be starting due to those who graduated. And the academic status of the Vol football program, ranked dead last in the SEC during the Dooley era, had the honor of 34 athletes out of the 52 within the entire UT athletic department receive Academic All-SEC honors for the Fall 2013 semester. Overall, not bad. He is winning on the field and in the classroom.
If the GOP is to seriously challenge President Obama and the Democrats who control both chambers - including the House, as a sizable contingent of the RINO faction vote for Nancy Pelosi - it will have to come together or there need be new blood within the party elected. Regardless of what the solution may be, there will always be a brighter tomorrow, many days of sunshine following the rainy and cloudy days. You and I have a rendezvous with destiny, as Ronald Reagan stated in 1964 in his "A Time for Choosing" stump speech for GOP nominee Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-AZ). And this is a time for choosing: for in the immortal words of Benjamin Franklin, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." It is up to you, the population who is pondering what are to become of their liberties and legal rights, and furthermore, to me to continue the fight against these usurpations of our liberties and legal rights. Do not let the government silence you, for silence only begets the loudest screams of suffering.
