Yahoo Blocked Emails About Wall Street Protests

itwbennett writes "People trying to email information about the Wall Street protests on Monday using Yahoo mail, found themselves on the receiving end of messages from Yahoo claiming 'suspicious activity'. ThinkProgress.org has a YouTube video of users trying to send emails that mention the 'OccupyWallSt.org' web site, which seemed to be the magic phrase to get your email blocked. Via Twitter, Yahoo announced the blockage was now fixed, but 'there may be residual delays.'"

    When?

    When it, as a corporation, has more rights than a REAL corpus, a flesh and blood person. Corporations have always bought of Congressmen with "campaign contributions", which used to be called bribes, but since the SCOTUS ruling a couple years ago that corporations can bribe as many as they want with what ever amounts they want and they don't have to account to anyone showing how much and too whom, the Cabal is now complete. There already exists a revolving door arrangement between corporate CEOs & managers and the heads of the FDA, FCC, SEC, etc... Instead of fulfilling their mandate to protect the citizens from corporate greed and evil, they now protect the corporations from the wrath of the taxpayers.

    So, when millions of voters elect a person or campaign for legislation to enable their wishes, a few million dollars, well placed, nullifies the votes of millions of REAL citizens. That kind of evil makes corporations an extension of our government and turns our republic into a cabal.
