Articles Chowk Staff (tahmed & Co) have censored

Posted: Jul 22, 2008 Tue 02:41 am     Views: 183    Interacts: 6

The following articles were submitted to Chowk Staff, but were censored with no explanation given. This censorship is going on because of a few members, namely tahmed, mohammad gill and Sohail the shrink. By doing so, just because they cannot argue with my anti-imperialist stance, which they support, they are trying to suppress my voice.

Recently a few other good members (those not yet on the dark side of the empire) Hurricane, Iron_mask, Zeemax and a few others started a publish masadi campaign.

The following articles were censored by chowk staff, they were subsequently published elsewhere or on my blog, use google to read them:

As you can see they have been censoring any and every article I have submitted since March 2007 which is over a year and a half. Other members who are being robbed of meaningful discourse and knowledge by these few thugs should stand up to get rid of this censorship.

Thanks!

Regarding the people I have named, like I said it is "speculation based on circumstantial evidence". Those people, among the chowk elders in all probability the shadowy chowk editors have been the ones most vocal in calling for my censorship and not publishing my articles based on their BS of insults and what not

Masadi miaN, on what basis do you level the charge that those individuals are blocking your pieces?! They are not the only ones to criticize you on line. The chowk editorial world is a world of shadows.

msadi, I would also like to understand how do you know that the people you have named are responsible for this censorship? Please clarify. You realize that when you accuse someone you bring responsibility of proof on yourself. I would hope you would at least illustrate some basis of that claim.

msadi, thanks for the list. I googled and it goes to all sorts of funny stuff. Would you kindly give us your blog's URL. I am intrigued by all this discussion about you and before I can form an opinion want to read your articles.
