Taking a Stand Against Free Speech
Preventing the Spread of Dangerous Misinformation
An open letter to Vocal.MEDIA by M. ROCK STONE
Conspiracy theories.
Vocal takes a cautious approach to stories related to conspiracy theory content, especially content that can be linked to real-world violence. Stories and comments that discuss this material in historical or journalistic contexts can be shared on Vocal, but content that endorses or grants any level of credence to unfounded conspiracies that can be traced to unrest in society will be flagged by our Moderation team. We believe in doing our part to prevent dangerous misinformation from spreading.
I'm left to assume that this is the reason you won't publish my work on your platform, as you have been intentionally ambiguous in communicating to me exactly what it is in my content that your moderators have found to be objectionable. If indeed, the foregoing clause in your "Community Guidelines" is the reason that you have decided to reject my content, then you have done so in error.

The Rock Stone Report features analysis of current events in a historical context, for the purpose of "connecting the dots" and showing the larger pattern within seemingly unrelated events in order to bring a more comprehensive picture into focus, this is what is meant by the RSTV tagline: "CHAOS IS NOT RANDOM". The subject of my most recently rejected submission, in point of fact, is to "discuss the material" concerning this contemporary development of an arguably pathological need to censor, ban, and marginalize any voice that endeavors to call into question the carefully crafted and feverishly defended treacherous gaslight narrative (as it has been put forth by banks, politicians, and puppet media in the form of Tavistock Institute approved propaganda - a la Bernays), due to an apparently irrational fear of the dangers of investigation. They use the term "conspiracy theory" to identify an idea as a perceived threat to the status quo, the collective community (it's for the greater good, after all), and the control of an abusive, overreaching, global, technocratic, socio-corporate establishment.
Content that endorses or grants any level of credence to unfounded conspiracies that can be traced to unrest in society.
I illustrate this fact with historical context, through the vehicle of addresses given by two U.S. presidents, hardly unfounded. In the first case, President Dwight D. Eisenhower famously warned the nation to guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex in his final speech in January of 1961. The puzzling nature of Ike's riddle left many Americans to conclude that he must have been alluding to the advancement of some agenda to take control of government policy, as directed by a secret conspiracy of an unknown and mysterious scientific elite, within the councils of government. At the time, Operation Paperclip was regarded as top secret, so the American people had no way of knowing about the thousands of elite Nazi scientists that Truman had recruited to start NASA and run the alphabet intelligence agencies, in competition with the Soviets.
In the second case, and more importantly, I've included the words of President John F. Kennedy, as he delivered them only two short years following Eisenhower's statement - and with a transcript, wherein he states in very clear language that our way of life is under attack and we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy - not a theory. In historical context, it is well-known that it wasn't long after Kennedy gave his famous speech that he was shot to death on live television.
Then, for additional historical context, it is considered a fact that Jack Ruby shot Oswald to death on live television not long after he'd been officially fingered as the lone gunman in our president's televised assassination. Without causing any injury to Vocal's Community Guidelines, I'd have to say that's some content that can not only be linked to real-world violence but also grants a level of credence to conspiracies that can be traced to unrest in society. The significant issue that's worthy to take note of here is that NONE of this is theoretical, but rather, in point of fact, something that is known in erudite circles as "historical context".
Having established this frame of reference in historical context, what is discovered in my submission titled No Secret Is Revealed is that the weaponization of the term "conspiracy theory" against a questioning public did not occur under the presidencies of Truman, Eisenhower, or Kennedy - but, instead was used as a truncheon by the deep state operatives of the Operation Mockingbird media following that fateful November day in Dallas, as a means to crush free speech and silence any American brave enough to assert that the "lone gunman" narrative wasn't adding up. And, JFK was the last president to ever publicly warn this nation of the secret enemy conspiracy that is in opposition to the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the American way of life. And, it appears there is nothing new under the sun.
So, as I made clear in my initial statement, if the above-cited clause in your "Community Guidelines" is the reason that you have decided to reject my content, then you have done so in error. As such, it is a shame on you. One is left with the conclusion that either the Vocal Moderation team is occupied by arrogantly ignorant, dull-minded, slacker trolls, or that your corporate "belief" of doing our part to prevent dangerous misinformation from spreading is nothing more than a pig in pretty pink lipstick. I'm glad that you've revealed the truncheon you were concealing, behind a facade of being a platform that supports artists’ voices, before you were allowed to make any money from my content.
You do not support free speech, you support oligarchical authoritarian control and the censorship of artists’ voices. I no longer consent to have my content published on your platform. But, know this: YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
Yours truly,
M. ROCK STONE
