What's Going On?

2006-05-11T22:51:00.000-07:00

I'm informed that my Blog has been suspended. Let me check up on this and find out what is happening.

TAKING ON THESE ANTI-AMERICAN S.O.B.S!

2005-10-16T17:44:00.000-07:00

Damn. All this time and complaints, and I find that someone has moved my Blog to a new address. Now, how can that be? I thought that I was the only one who could move this Blog around, the only one with access to it, but I guess I am not. All I can think of is that someone at Blogger must also have a way to enter it.

But, enough of that. Tomorrow I am going to begin a series of articles on America, Patriotism, and these s.o.b.s who put Cuba and a fascist system of government ahead of their own country. I'm sparing no horses on this one. For, I am one pissed-off OLDE CODGER-TATOR, and both sites will be taking these sob's to task.

FINALLY, SOME HELP

2005-09-29T01:56:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally seem to have gotten the attention of Blogger Support and they're looking into my complaint. I wonder if my email to the CEO of Google, Dr. Schmidt, who now owns Blogger, was what got their attention? I always say, go to the top. Don't waste time with the guys in the lower ranks. I did that with Dell and my computer from Hell, and got absolutely nowhere.

We now have a new kind of spam, the guys who use your site to advertise theirs. Isn't that a bowlful of crap?

10/14/05 I am still having a great deal of difficulty with this Blog. It keeps disappearing from the Site.

2005-09-17T13:11:00.000-07:00

ONCE AGAIN, CENSORSHIP ALLOWED BY BLOGGER
Pay attention to what is going on. Each day I make an entry, and sometime later, it is closed off to the public. Censorship is alive and well at Blogger, and so, at Google, with CEO Eric Schmidt. Keep this in mind when you write your own Blogs.

That flag you see above stands for Freedom. One of our rights is "Freedom of Speech" and that right, with censorship by Blogger, is being curtailed. All I did was to enter a picture of a cockroach, but someone finds it objectionable. So, they cut off all my Blogs after August 1, and they keep cutting them off, not wanting YOU, my readers, to see them.

Let them take a good look at that Flag. Let them understand what it is all about. Let them live in Cuba for a year where they'll find that that human cockroach imprisons people for 25 years if they dare to exercise their right to dissent, to speak out, to disagree with him.

Do you understand that about Blogger, that anyone can simply put you off the airwaves?

STILL STANDING FIRM
Against Censorship on the Web, through votes. What crap that is.

BLOGGER BOSSES BUGGED, BAN BLOGGER’S BUGGY BLOG!

The Blogsite, www.yeoldecodger.com, by Howard E. Morseburg, has been banned by Blogger, the busy blogger’s Blog hosting company, for putting a big bug on his Blog site. The bug happens to be a large Cockroach, but to this big brown bug he has the affixed the head of fidel castro, the tyrannical Cuban dictator.

This obviously bugs some busy-body at Blogger, because they keep deleting his current blogs from the Web. Morseburg charges that they won’t answer his emails to tell him why they’re bugged and he’s banned, which bugs him too.

Because they deleted a smaller Cockroach he placed on another blog, he’s sure that’s what’s bugging Blogger’s bosses...bugs. “If it’s the bug on the blog that’s bugging them,” Morseburg says, “why won’t they simply tell me?”

Blogger was bought by Google, the world’s greatest Search Engine, so Morseburg wants to know whether it’s Blogger that’s bugged by the Cockroach or if Google banned the bug. He claims that it is an Editorial Cartoon, that it should be exempted from such censorship by Google and Blogger, because his Blogs are always editorials.

Dr. Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, has not yet responded to his complaint, so Morseburg doesn’t know if Dr. Schmidt is bugged or someone on down the line in the chain of command is going bugs over the bug on the Blog.

BLOGGER'S THOUGHT POLICE

Blogger has made a big mistake. They have created a monster while trying to eliminate porn blogs and hate blogs, a monster that will in turn make anyone with a political viewpoint subject to extreme harrassment or even being turned off by Blogger.

At the top of each Blog is a series of boxes, Previous, Flag, and Next. By clicking on Flat, it means that someone finds your material objectionable and then you are removed from the regular line up, so to speak, and your Blogs made unavailable to people surfing the Web, or to your regular readers.

I had enjoyed Blogging and have more than 250 posts but now, I am being censored, perhaps right out of Havana, or by Castro's thuggish followers in the United States.

I don't preach hate, but I do feel that 46 years of tyranny in Cuba is enough, that more than 15,000 executions are enough, that 2 million people dispossed of their rights to the extent that they left their beloved homeland is enough, that more than 83,000 drowned at sea while risking their lives and losing...is far more than enough, that depressing poverty for most of Cuba (unless they're part of the Ruling Class who enjoy special privileges is enough, that imprisonment of dissenters for thirty year terms in dungeons that recall the horrors of the middle ages is enough, that the theft of hundreds of millions of dollars from the nation by Castro and his thugs is enough, that the demolition of Cuba's heritage of old world architecture through neglect is enough, that government spies on every block is enough, that subjugation and living their whole lives as slaves of fidel castro (La Cucaracha Grande) is enough, that it is time for change and a chance to vote for the type of government they want, and that Cubans the world over should have the chance to go home to a Free Country is they should so desire.

And, that, my friends, is why I am being censored by Blogger, because someone does not wish to allow an elderly man of eighty to speak his mind, a man who served his country during war, who served his country during peace, and who continues to serve his country by speaking out against injustice.

But, though I have written Blogger, they will not respond, and have tried to shut my voice off from the World on the Internet.

May God be my witness, that I speak out for justice and freedom, whether it be here or in a small nation ninety miles off our shores, Cuba.

APOLOGIES TO THE COCKROACHES
but this is what seems to be causing me all the trouble, an image of the world's leading candidate for Cockroach of the Century, a mass-murderer who has signed the execution orders for thousands of ordinary Cuban citizens (and Che signed more than 2,500 himself, by his own admission.
Because of this image, Blogger keeps deleting my essays on the most depraved individual in the western hemisphere.
I am writing the nation's leading newspapers about Blogger and their owners, Google, and this act of censorship.

2005-09-08T19:15:00.000-07:00

FREE SPEECH vs CENSORSHIP
Pay attention to what is going on here. My Blogs are being deleted, all because we put the head of a murderous dictator on a cockroach!

Photo of squashed cockroaches was taken in one of Cuba's largest hospitals within the past year.

Doesn't the fact that 15,000 people have been executed in Cuba since 1959 mean anythingd? Is this a lovable Santa Claus? Is this a good representation of what government is all about - killing 15,000 people and driving 2 million more away? I think not.

Yet, when everything I write has been verified, checked out, and is a known fact, someone still can object to my telling the truth! This is nuts, and a lousy policy for Blogger to follow. I'm advising every Blogger I know about this. Let's bring it out into the open. Blogger practices censorship. Blogger does not believe in the U.S. Constitution, the Second Amendment, Free Speech (except for those who fall into the same political spectrum).

AN APOLOGY TO THE POOR COCKROACHES!
I owe every variety of cockroach known to man and even those yet undiscovered and therefore, unknown, as well, for besmirching them by putting fidelito's head on the body of one of them.

I DON'T BACK DOWN...

2005-09-08T12:11:00.000-07:00

Dark Clouds Hover Over America when Freedom of Speech is subject to "votes" as to what you can say!CENSORSHIP BY FIAT!

Well, my friends, here we go into the fray.
My Blogs are being censored. I've got some opponents who do not believe in the Freedom of Speech or Freedom of the Press clause in the Bill of Rights.

My Blog: www.yeoldecodger.com is being deleted every day and sometimes twice a day, a total now of eight times, but I keep reposting it.

What didn't they like about it? Well, I put a picture of a cockroach astride a globe, but this roach had little fidel castro's head on it.

Someone found it objectionable and so they clicked a box at the top of each blog and it was removed from my Blogsite, not just the cockroach with fidelito's head on it, but the whole blog. Then as I kept writing, two, three, four and now eight subsequent Blogs are deleted each day, once or twice.

But, I intend to Stand Firm. I shall not give in. I will write to the CEO of Google about this type of Censorship. You can swear, put nudity on a site, even porn, but not a cockroach with a scare mask on it, the face of fidelito, the largest mass murderer in the western hemisphere.

Let me know what you think about it. Should it be illegal for me to portray a cockroach as a cockroach, or as fidelito castro, tyrannical dictator and murderer, who holds the nation of Cuba hostage?

Every block in Cuba has a spy for the Secret Police, and you are not allowed to meet in groups. It is tyranny by La Cucaracha Grande.

WEARING A BREECH CLOUT (LOIN CLOTH)

2004-10-29T01:24:00.000-07:00

Gadzooks, I said in my last post that Michael should be tied, naked, to a post in the center of town...
which came from the admonition that it you're to go before the Big Boss and you're scared, almost too scared to talk, just visualize him standing before you clothes-less, in the nude, and you'll overcome that fear...
but with Michael, they can tie him there in a Breech Clout and it is just as effective when they want to stick pins in him...
sounds like voodoo, doesn't it?

WINDOWS ME BUYERS GOT SCREWED

2004-10-26T22:59:00.000-07:00

Now that I have experienced the difference, believe me, it is my very very very strong opinion that the buyers got screwed. They not only got screwed, but they got the royal shaft. There's not a single doubt in my mind that Dell Computer, by installing ME in the Dell Dimension 4100, screwed every purchaser big time.

It's not a simple matter of dollars and cents. So, you paid a thousand for the outfit and lost it. No, it is the time and aggravation day after day, trying to fix the unfixable, trying to understand what was wrong and there was no understanding it, trying to repair it with patches and finding that there were yet more and more glitches to patch up.

Time? What is YOUR time worth? Aggravation? How much does it take from your life? Hours and hours. Call the tech. Call your Guru. Call a friend who knows about computers. Irritating. They help you and you're calling them again tomorrow and the following week, time and time again. I took pictures. I have more than 100 of them showing my screen. I should make Screen Savers out of them.

Tie a naked Michael Dell to a pole in the center of the main street in Austin, Texas, and let each sufferer from ME just stick him once with a pin. No flames. Just a pin prick. A tiny pin prick. Paint M-E on his abdomen with blood, like that TV Ad, where the woman has something written around her belly button. A fantasy.

I'm a nut, you say? Hell, who cares? I say that a guy with $14 billion of personal wealth should have a conscience and he should have replaced that damnable Dell, the Computer from Hell. He's at the top. The buck (crap) stops there.

Now, if you want my opinion on anything else, just ask.

MAKING MISTAKES

2004-07-31T00:33:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you can be too friendly in business. It's a mistake if you let it interfere with the money end of business. Keep business as business on the one side, and friendship on the other. Michael Dell wears boots more expensive than this Dell Dimention 4100, but I cannot afford his hand-tooled fancy boots. I ain't a'kissing them either.

I'll do a new poem each week for ol' Michael Dell,
The CEO who brags that he knows how to sell,
List' Michael, it's an easy decision to make,
Just tell your guys to quickly rectify this mistake.
I'm just wasting my time with this Windows ME,
You owe me a Dimension with new Windows XP!
Every few minutes a "Windows will now close,"
To tell you the truth, it's a real pain up my...nose.
Windows ME was the worst program from Bill Gates,
And like a virus its spread through all fifty states.
Like a tire with a bubble, it'll never be right,
I know there were millions like me in the same plight,
With Windows ME, Dell has given us the shaft.
I know where it belongs..and up to the haft!
It's not fair to cheat people with Windows ME,
And cheated they are, when it won't work properly!
I'd like to think well of the CEO at Dell,
But how can I when I've this Computer from Hell?
"Lexplore will now close" four times has popped up on screen,
While writing this last verse, then erases it clean.
Some gibberish appears, words that mean nothing to me,
That's just one more day with Windows complexity.
Oh to leg-chain this computer to Michael Dell,
And his sentence? "Life with that Computer from Hell!"

Well, them's my sentiments, that's my opinion. Any questions, Bubby? And, then my computer locked up and an hour's work was lost, so I had to do this all over again. That's just another day with my Dell. Soon, pictures of my Dell from Hell.
