Blogger's Response to a Censorship by Facebook of a Shared Post regarding Venezuelans Wishing they were Still Armed

A few minutes ago, I had curated and share-posted an online article regarding the popular sentiment by Venezuelans wishing that they had not renounced and surrendered their privately owned firearms as demanded by a decree of the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.

In response to my unsuccessful postings, Facebook blocked them by citing certain "community standards" that rendered these postings as unwelcome.







I protested but doubt that my protest will persuade them to reverse their decision.

Given that recently the US Presidential contender Beto O'Roarke at a recent Democratic Party debate stated that if he were triumph in his bid for the US Presidency, come the election of the year 2020, that he would impose a nationwide confiscation drive of all privately owned Assault Rifles, particularly the AR-15 and AK47s. 

 Because the article I sought to share on Facebook is an affront to Beto's rhetoric and shows, in fast forward motion, how a gun confiscation drive would enable a politician to more easily impose tyranny over a previously free people who were previously free because they had been previously armed. 

 Thus this article which I sought to share or curate first on my blog and later on Facebook was too hot for them to permit and so they blocked me from posting it, and to justify such blockage, they speciously used their community standards to do so.

As a consequence of their creed discrimination against my right to free expressly my opinion, I am writing this dissent blog post in response. 

 I understand that Facebook is a privately owned entity and that this corporation is legally permitted to block certain types of material from being posted on the website. 

 But Facebook is not the only game in town - just the best known and the biggest.

What I Love about my National Anthem, the Star Spangled Banner

What do I love so much about the National Anthem, the Star Spangled Banner -- that is also my National Anthem? I have a fiery spirit that doesn't often show itself unless it's provoked. The actions of the NFL players, particularly that guy Colin - they infuriated me. How much does that dude know about the history of that anthem? I don't think he really ever took the time to learn about it; he doesn't really identify with it. I happen to identify with it, a lot. You see? The rebellious, unyielding fiery spirit that supports it - it's the same antioppressive spirit that inspired the national anthem of the country where I was born, Cuba. La Bayamesa, the inational anthem of Cuba starts "We're up, going into combat. And it continues with blood-pumping slogans such as "Living on your knees is dying." "Dying on your feet is living." That sort of spirit is the same sort of spirit that drove the American defenders of Fort McHenr...
