Yes, you read that correctly - Newsmax.com has written an article favorable to Ron Paul! Yes, I checked - it's ten below zero and snowing in Hell.

Also interesting is what happens when you input the title of the article into google and search it. It does not come up. Try it! Type "ignoring ron paul has reached cosmic proportions newsmax" and click search. It will not come up.

If you type in "newsmax ron paul", this article shows up as the fourth result, below Newsmax.com's own article entitled "Ron Paul won't be president but..."

I just think it's funny. Here's the link.

Don't bother with the poll they speak of atop the story. It's another scam to collect email addresses.

Doug Wead has been writing quite a few good articles lately .

It's by Doug Wead (senior adviser to the campaign), the same way Jack Hunter writes for the Daily Caller sometimes.

Please pardon my ignorance - would you please educate me, and explain the irony?

I was unaware that the author was in some way tied to the RP campaign. That would explain why NMax ran the article...I'll tell ya, I was shocked to see it.

I actually wasn't trying to be ironic. Yes Doug Wead is on the official campaign as the article states at the end, and he is known for writing a lot of good articles on RP for credible publications (search this forum, there are lots). But it is indeed surprising that Newsmax would publish one of his articles. My "crazy" was a serious expression of surprise, as Newsmax usually publishes articles designed to marginalize RP.

Google is censoring positive Ron Paul items. The campaign or someone needs to get on this ASAP

I apologize, Paulitics. In the meantime, I googled Mr. Wead, and learned a bit about him.

What the heck is Newsmax doing, allowing (what appears to be) an honest man to write an article for their site? :-)

What can we do to fix this? Organize a mass google bomb of some kind?

I have a Nook Color subscription to the NewsMax magazine. It didn't seem totally biased towards any one in particular. This month's main article was on Rick Perry and it was down the middle.

It needs some research. I've been on a couple of sites that were censored by google before. I don't remember what they did but it was resolved, after quite a bit of effort. I'll see if I can find out how they did it.

I'll add a prayer for your success to my nightly session with the Big Guy upstairs. :-)

Over 11 million websites have been blacklisted and banned by Google. A massive block of websites registered for free through the co.cc subdomain have been silenced after the Internet giants have determined many of them to be unfit for the Web.

Google's Matt Cutts writes on his Google Plus account that the company has the right to pull the plug on sites if they "see a very large fraction of sites on a specific freehost be spammy or low-quality." 11 million sites hosted on the free-host co.cc were banned as a result, after Google decided that a large chunk of the content was malicious or otherwise below par for their Internet standards.

On Google's Online Security Blog, the company's Oliver Fisher writes:

Google's automated malware scanning systems detect sites that distribute malware. To help protect users we recently modified those systems to identify bulk subdomain services which are being abused. In some severe cases our systems may now flag the whole bulk domain.

The domain of .cc is revealed by The Register to have twice as many phishng attacks of other domain extensions, and its subdomain of .co.cc is to blame. On that subdomain, the company hosts 11,383,746 freely registered domains, now all blocked by Google.

On his blog post, Fishes says that owners of a shut-down site should contact their subdomain provider if Google's SafeBrowsing service shows it to be unsecure. From there, they say, they can use tools available through Google to help remedy the problem.

Another Google worker, John Mu, writes:

If you feel that your particular site is in line with our Webmaster Guidelines, I would recommend submitting a reconsideration request. Additionally, if you use a subdomain on a widely used domain name, and feel that your subdomain provider is not up to par with regards to preventing and handling abuse quickly - be it webspam, phishing, or malware - you may wish to look into ways of remedying that.

Google doesn't explicitly offer how to remedy that problem, however, and the company often takes weeks to process a reconsideration request.

In the meantime, 11 million sites - malicious and not - have been blacklisted and blocked by Google worldwide.

The writing is on the wall and they don't want to be marginalized by the future White House occupant.
