There is currently a war being waged on this planet, a war between the forces of light and darkness, between those standing for freedom and those seeking to enslave the human race, between those seeking truth and those seeking to silence all forms of dissent; and there are few places untouched by this battle for the soul of humanity, with the Hive blockchain being no exception. Censorship is one of the primary tools systematically used by the forces of darkness in an attempt to silence dissent, and combined with relentless propaganda it is one of the most effective tools the tyrants have. The scale of censorship seen over the past 2 years is unprecedented, the modern day version of book burning, and no doubt the largest ‘book burning’ the world has ever seen.
Hive has always been advertised as a censorship free platform, and many chose the platform as a healthy alternative to Big Tech social media where censorship has run rampant to unprecedented levels over the past 2 years. Downvotes are often used by enemies of truth and freedom to diminish the rewards of content ideologically opposed to the establishment narrative, and it has always been argued by a great many devs and whales that this does not amount to censorship because posts, even if they are hidden on the front end due to low ratings, are never removed from the blockchain.
And this is true, but it is also true that removing content is not the only form of censorship, with any suppression of content constituting a form of censorship. Such forms of censorship can be seen in the common use of shadow-banning on Twitter to make targeted content invisible to the common user without actually deleting the censored Tweet. YouTube similarly engages in more subtle forms of censorship along with its overt removal of videos and entire channels, with algorithms designed to keep specific targeted content from showing up in ‘next playing’ lists, and also with age restrictions and such.
Using downvotes to remove targeted content from the trending page on Hive is just another such subtle form of censorship currently being employed by the ‘blockchain police’, Hive’s version of the Big Tech censors. If a post is popular and receives a high enough payout to make it to trending, it will naturally garner more views, and thus to utilize downvotes to remove that content from the trending page is a very real form of censorship, just as posts that are hidden due to low ratings have been effectively censored, despite not actually being deleted from the blockchain.
Censorship is alive and well on Hive, despite what the powers that be may say; it just isn’t as overt a form of censorship as that which is employed by Facebook, Twitter, Tick Tock, Instagram and YouTube policies that literally remove content and delete entire channels and user profiles. I should know, as I just had two of my most popular, highest payout posts in months targeted in such fashion, as soon as they began trending, with massive downvotes that knocked them off the trending page ($48 combined downvotes on the first, $35 single downvote on the second).
But that wasn’t good enough for those systematically targeting my content, no, both of these posts were then subsequently zeroed out by Curangel and that account’s curation trail of dozens of users, many of whom likely have no idea what their votes are being used for. Curangel advertises itself as a curator of quality content, but the trail followers’ vote power is unwittingly being used to target content ideologically opposed to Curangel’s personal views and the establishment propaganda narrative.
I believe the most recent of these posts - a documentary I put together on ‘vaccine’ victims featuring clips of their own stories about their personal and very real injuries, in their own words - had actually managed to get back on trending before Curangel zeroed it out, which would mean the hive power of these trail followers is not only being used to downvote content and in this case remove $72 in rewards from popular content that took countless hours to be put together, not only to zero out popular content, but also to remove it from the trending page, suppressing the information and censoring it to limit the number of additional views it would otherwise receive.
I know I would feel deceived and taken advantage of if I signed up for a curation trail I was told was all about upvoting particular content but was simultaneously used at times to downvote content, and not only that, but to target content based solely on ideological differences and not even the quality of the content. I also know from past experience with Curangel downvotes that not everyone on the trail is aware the account is being used in this manner, and at least some have been quite unhappy to find out their vote power was being used to downvote content, especially to target content they actually liked and supported (like mine!). Those individuals I know of subsequently removed themselves from the trail, and their quest to determine why the downvotes were given was futile. But how many others who are still trail followers are unaware that their vote power is being abused, as myself and others would argue, to silence and punish targeted content creators and content Curangel personally has an ideological aversion to?
All those who would censor and attempt to silence in any way, shape or form the real life stories of individuals who have been injured by these experimental injections in horrific ways and have been caused immense physical and emotional suffering as a result should all be ashamed of themselves, and they are accomplices in the orchestrated attempt to deny informed consent to all potential future recipients, which is a crime against humanity.
Based on the comments, upvotes, and the number of reblogs on the post/video, this is an important albeit highly suppressed story that both needs to be heard and which people want to hear. For those who may not have seen it and are interested in hearing their story, or would like to share it to help raise awareness in these dark times and offset the censorship, here is the post with video on BitChute and 3Speak along with a ton of links, and the documentary embedded for viewing below:
That there are those in the business of actively and systematically ignoring, suppressing, ridiculing, discounting and censoring these true stories for the sole purpose of getting as many injections into as many arms as possible at any and all costs, is testament to the diabolically evil nature of this mandavaxx cult, so evil that it would knowingly sacrifice the health and even the lives of thousands of Americans for a profit-driven agenda to vaccinate the entire population with an experimental injection shown to be killing at least twice as many people as it saves, which is at the same time highly ineffective at doing anything to stop the spread of this ‘virus’, or even to prevent infection, hospitalization or death, as real world data and scientific studies continue to repeatedly demonstrate.

So how does it feel to be systematically censored, both on and off the blockchain, and systematically targeted by a gang of ruthless blockchain bullies with a massive investment against the truth - 8 posts downvoted in a row, 3 posts zeroed out in a week’s time, 2 posts removed from trending, over $200 in rewards nullified (plus nearly $75 last week), and not a single attempt by anyone to dispute any of the vast amount of source material used?
I’ll tell you what it feels like, it feels like I’m “deep in the trenches, in the heart of a war, and that’s the place a martyr is born...”
Because this is a war, and it is being waged right here on Hive as much as anywhere else. And I must be doing something right, because I’m an awfully small account with a small (but still steadily growing) following, with limited resources, and yet my work, for some reason (I know the reason - it is extremely comprehensive and well sourced material with indisputable evidence) - attracts THIS much downvote action and systematic targeting which has been going on for months (although not to this degree) by the enemies of truth and freedom here on the blockchain.
It happens to others too, as @lucylin, @shepz1 and other targets can attest to, usually small accounts like mine putting out powerful messages of truth and freedom, and it doesn’t ever stop, it only gets more ruthless and relentless with time. And neither will I stop; I will not be silenced, I will not stop speaking up for the voiceless and documenting the crimes against humanity being perpetrated by this cult or pointing out their lies and shredding their vile propaganda to pieces. It’s what I do, and no amount of censorship, pressure, bullying or targeting of my rewards will ever stop that. After all, I’m not in this for the money, I’m in this for the sake of the truth and the freedom of all humanity.
And to all my fellow warriors for truth and freedom out there: Stand strong, and do not let your voices be silenced. The forces of darkness have incredible power in their hands and are attacking those standing for truth and freedom from all sides and from every angle, but one thing they don’t have, one thing they will never have is the truth, a love for humanity and the fire of freedom burning in their hearts. With that I shall leave you with a battle song, “The Martyr,” by Immortal Technique, from which my quote above was taken.
And while I’m at it, here’s a relevant tune to end the post with, Payday Monsanto’s “Naked Truth” -
Enjoy the music, have a good day, and stay free out there; the fight for truth and freedom will go on...
