Question...I need help

[peanutbrittle]

At one point in time I thought that I had seen a place on DU that had a list of inappropriate authors websites, uncredible sources etc. that should not be posted here. I can't find it now and maybe I'm crazy...lol..not sure. Maybe someone can direct me to it if it is there.

Specifically I see a new article out at Alex Jones' site that looks interesting as well as something new at Rense.

Is it ok to post articles from either of these if they seem appropriate? One is regarding Dycorp and Haliburton Sex Slave Scandal written by Paul Joseph Watson and the other is something new from Wayne Madsen. Are there people here that will have a problem with either of these sources?

1. I believe the moderators don't allow links to prison planet

I think that Wayne Madsen like Doug Thompson at CHB is not considered a credible source,
I read him all the time.

PS Prison Planet is Alex Jones home site, Rense gets censure because of the anti-zionist
articles posted therein.

these are just observations, not censure

2. Here's a hint

If the NWO (New World Order) is part of the author's thesis, then you can pretty much guess that it is crap and likely rooted in antisemitic beliefs. Jones stuff is laced with antisemitic code words. The old fears about "Jewish bankers" no longer sell so they need to coach them in softer language. Scratch below the surface though and you will see all the old stereotypes and hate. Madsen is just nuts.

3. Here are a few

no rense
no Madsen
no prison planet

Post them in the September 11 forum, then they won't be moved there. If they are not new articles, it's probably already there.

-- from the detailed rules:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/forums/rules_detailed.html
Do not quote or link to "conspiracy theory" websites, except in our September 11 forum, which is the only forum on Democratic Underground where we permit members to debate highly speculative conspiracy theories. A reasonable person should be able to identify a conspiracy theory website without much difficulty.

Edit - here is what Skinner wrote a while back

We are the incubators of the progressive message. But we also understand that in order to be effective, we have to strike a balance between openness and censorship, between throwing open the floodgates and trying to maintain some standards of credibility. We are a partisan website, we are not the mainstream media by any stretch of the imagination, but we don't want to be so far out of the mainstream that we are like kryptonite.

4. Thank you all very much...

LOL Put the cart before the horse. I posted them and then deleted them in GD.

Maybe in the 9/11 forum

5. I like some of the stuff on "What Really Happened" BUT --

the moderator is a serious anti-Zionist and seems to support holocaust deniers big time. Anybody else have a comment about that site?
