When Obama took office eight years ago, the first thing he did was to get rid of almost everybody in the FBI and the CIA and convert these institutions to bastions of liberalism. The FBI after all was the main agency that persecuted leftists in the US and the CIA was overthrowing foreign governments that it suspected of being friendly to communists. And when Brenen and Holder and Comey took over those agencies, they fired everybody who was conservative and hired ACLU members. They would replace the guys who interrogated the terrorists with the people who represented the terrorists at Guantanamo as their lawyers. And this 180 degree shift, this paradigm shift in these agencies, meant that the deep state was now firmly embedded with the left and with the liberal media. And thats how this entire plot to frame Trump over this Russian scandal has emerged.
"Why doesn't Maxine Waters want to live in her own district?
Because she doesn't want to suffer the consequences of her own policies.
Riots and violence surge in our streets. While our buildings and businesses burn.
Maxine sits safe in her mansion guarded by the same police she demonizes.
Maxine has never had to deal with violence or riots in her neighborhood."

These emails are true smoking guns. At any other time in American history - Biden would be toast... just for these. But also, at any other time in American history, a "Joe Biden" in his current condition and state of mind would never become a nominee for any political party, much less one of the two major US parties.
There is one delicious irony to the email story. Pelosi started the impeachment stunt (it could never have passed in the Senate, so it was never going to mean anything) and the hearings drew attention to the whole issue of the Bidens and Ukraine. It is entirely possible that she inadvertently pulled the whole house of cards down with that one mistake.
Presumably that must also mean that many Democratic politicians were unaware of this problem - so I wonder if a few of them might start to disassociate themselves from their party?

That method might work technically but it is not a really a satisfactory solution because many fewer people will look at the article if there isn't a real link. This means the conservative web sites will not get as much web traffic when they are censored. This has ramifications beyond just the story being censored because it will result in fewer subscribers and less revenue for commercial sites. In the bigger picture, the problem isn't so much a problem of one article being censored - the information gets out and people talk about what is in the article in spite of the censorship.
The real problem is that most web sites need readers to share articles to twitter and facebook etc by clicking on the twitter or facebook icon on the web page with the article. That generates a post to your twitter or facebook feed with a link to the article. The point is that some of your friends and followers will hopefully retweet it or share it on facebook too, and also click on the link and go to the web site posting the article and then maybe click on advertisers - which is how they make money. Unless sharing can generate a real link in the social media posts, fewer people will go to the original article and subscribers and revenue will be much less.
The social media censorship puts conservative media companies and web sites at a disadvantage it is much harder for them gain readers and revenue so it is harder for them to survive without fair and equal social media access. This includes being fairly represented in search result and news feed algorithms in social media as well as search engines.
Twitter and facebook have a huge influence on the viability of commercial sites. If you don't have equal access to twitter and facebook your business might not be viable. Its a antitrust issue as well as a censorship issue.

If they disassociate themselves from their party the money they need to campaign will not be available. In the US we had campaign finance reform which restricted the amount of money an individual could give to a candidate. The idea was to prevent rich people and corporations from buying politicians or influencing elections unduly. The result (unforeseen by the public but expected by the party leadership) was that the money was shifted to political parties instead of candidates and the party spends the money in ways that help their candidates. So instead of a few candidates being bought, now the entire party is bought.
It's why so many republicans were against Trump. They know which side their bread is buttered on, actually they would never have gotten in to office if they were not acceptable to the big donors in the first place.
In the US, politicians including "moderate" democrats are not corrupted once they get into office, they never get into office if they are not compliant from the beginning.
The big donors never liked Trump who wanted to drain the swamp. Multinational corporations don't like Trump's pro-worker trade policies, armaments manufactures don't like his anti-war foreign policies, drug companies don't like his policies to reduce the cost of pharmaceuticals, etc etc. Even government regulation which you would think would be onerous to corporations creates a barrier to entry for smaller companies that might destabilize an industry with new technology - so when Trump reduces government regulation he is also threatening large corporations. This is why all the power structures in the world are against Trump he is an existential threat to their unfettered looting of the American people.

Well.... if I see a url spelled out that way, I know it is important. A lot of stuff is censored nowadays and that trick alerts people to the situation.
Signifying the fact that information is being censored is itself important.
Alternatively, creating a TinyURL might fool the censoring software for a while.

This is a brilliant one paragraph summary. Anyone who would go any other direction with their vote, their support (both vocally and/or financially) represents the segment of humanity dictated to by the lower egoic aspect of their being. Soul, for these folks is either meaningless or secondary. This (IMO) is an election (and I do not mean the voting... I mean the outcome) which will clarify whether or not soulful, meaningful life remains dominant. The alternative may very well signal the end of meaningful life on this planet in the future for eons to come.
