China censors parts of Obama speech

(1/1)

admin:
those in power literally can do as they wish...

according to news reports, a snippet of the Obama inauguration speech was cut-out when Obama made a reference to past stances against "Facism and Communism"...

the offending statement:

Quote>>>>Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions.
<<<<
the out-right censorship of words, thoughts and ideologies is disturbing, and i'm glad we do not experience censorship directly as that... but censorship does exist in the United States. believe that!  :-X
