I said I wasn't going to discuss this anymore, but after the post I just sent to this list, I received a newsletter from Jon Rappoport ( <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001pyHeb_B3NsAyLwRt4l3pljBCUODsG7W81x-4CGIjadzJ BEcRTzUdmFyan7UZxS07tAYLjYF2VXOkD7nbSbudpyEVRnBb3sZddQByCGsToA-Ye51VHTwGidME UJtinenNN969M9LvesXV3DDfHHCPjHqujFdfo_ixQSRU6X7ZkmQmFrVVB1HcEA==&c=f7KTL4DqN FWT-Odi1AS0O22yE6qH4n9P28TX-OKJV5BIrkyZdXYYWg==&ch=SNh8BA0IA98C8n3jyBSFli40F ocPIvUycEpswU30WdA0vd0Lzic_5A==> NoMoreFakeNews.com). He quotes a statement received from Mike Adams, in which Adams addressed the technical violations that Google said Natural News committed.
++++++beginning of Mike Adams's statement as reported by Rappoport++++++ UPDATE: Here is a statement from Mike Adams (2/24): "This morning, I was contacted by a Google technical person who directly emailed Natural News. According to the email, a Google techie found an obscure third party advertising script running on a tiny number of articles published 3+ years ago under the blogs.naturalnews.com subdomain, where content is posted by outside bloggers. (Many websites host similar blogs, including the NY Times.)..." "Just to be clear, this script was NOT running on the www.NaturalNews.com primary domain, it was not part of any in-house NaturalNews articles, and it was not even recent. It was from years ago." "This third party script, identified as invoking 'cpxcenter.com', has been so far identified on a grand total of 13 blog posts that were posted from 2013 - 2014 under the subdomain blogs.naturalnews.com." "Using this as their excuse, Google blacklisted the entire NaturalNews.com domain, including all 140,000+ pages of content that contained no such third party scripts, thereby 'silencing' Natural News content by invoking an obscure, dated, barely-visible technical issue." "This is the electronic equivalent of a rogue cop claiming, 'Yer tail light is busted! Hee-Haw'!" "In other words, Google scoured the entire Natural News site and all its subdomains, including blogger articles, in order to find some 'justification' to ban the entire website. Even worse, they did not issue any warning to Natural News on this 'Manual Action,' they did not limit the content ban to the subdomain in question (blogs.) and they did not even tell Natural News which URLs were being flagged by Google, because that would have made it much quicker for us to identify the issue they claimed was responsible for the delisting. (They only told us about one URL today, after days of censorship of the entire website...)" "But since then, we've discovered that Google's own Blogspot network is running the same third party code! According to Google's own logic, Google should have blacklisted the entire Blogspot.com domain. But they haven't. Wonder why?" ++++++end of Mike Adams's statement as reported by Rappoport++++++
