The below from November 10 I have not as yet published as the content – touching on the chalk-screeching-on-blackboard, aluminium-electrolysis-metal-amalgam-dental-fillings narcissist-careerist – hey look at me/ look at me/ l.. – politically-, historically-, economically, LARGELY ecologically-ignorant and certainly energy-, geophysics- atmospheric science- and Weather Systems-ignorant influencers, professors of “social computing” (sic) and @TikTok @X @Meta @Instagram ET-SET-ERA airtime-thieves WHO JIBBER ON ABOUT the ENSO and NEVER ANSWER THEIR READERS’ QUESTIONS, ENGAGE, OR BUILD RELATIONSHIP AT ALL and are clearly HOSTILE to liberal democratic process, opposed to voices other than their own being heard from any Lyndon Larouche citizen-initiated furball or Public Square presentation, display, meme or Show & Tell – is turgid: vacuous, sycophantic. dull, boring & psycho-culturally bereft.

To my mind, as apparently the only serious McLuhanite scholar left on Earth, public presentations that have nothing to say about human purposes, process, context and culture – about just what it is we might DO after we’ve sounded off (and now with the Social Universe Psychosis semi-robotised and therefore in full horrific bloom EVEN GOTTEN PAID for our blurtings and squirtings) are toxic.

The foregoing was not a rhetorical statement. Be warned in time, people, and take immediate corrective action because the lives health, and happiness of all depend on your (as my) recommendations NOT your protestations or horrors like the Israel Defence Forces, Mossad and Shin Bet (‘the General Security Service’; Arabic: جهاز الأمن العام, romanized: jihāz al’amn al`ami), better known by the acronym Shabak (Hebrew: שב״כ; IPA: [ʃaˈbak]) MANAGEMENT of Hamas.

For comprehensive clarity – that way we all thrive if we can – here’s the Nov 10 input I’ve held back till now..

BREAKING NEWS: Prominent climate activist, with large following, removed from this platform without – it would seem – any explanation. Zoe Cohen is missing. Please help bring her back.

She has, if I recall, a folllowing of some 30,000 people, reflective of her tireless efforts as a peaceful protestor to bring the perils of climate change and the need for urgent action to the attention of more people.

I am honoured that Zoe is speaking on our panel for the next PTRC Fireside Chat I am chairing on 16 November which addresses climate action. When I posted on Monday about this event and went to tag Zoe, I couldn’t find her. She had vanished from LinkedIn. How could this be?

I have since been in touch with Zoe and learnt the following.

When she tried to use LinkedIn on Sunday, she couldn’t get access and got a page saying “Your account has been temporarily restricted as a precaution” and asking for her to verify who she was by uploading ID.

She was cautious of this in case of some sort of scam so did a bit of research before reluctantly uploading an image of her passport, hoping this would unlock her account. But actually all that happened was that she received an email from LinkedIn Customer Support saying the following:

“We’ve deemed the activity in your account in violation of the LinkedIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies. Your appeal has been denied and your account has been restricted permanently.”

Zoe is currently in a DM conversation with LinkedIn via Twitter. She has asked if others might be happy to post about this “as I have no voice or presence on there now”.

I follow(ed) Zoe – I find/found her posts informative, thought provoking and vitally important in relation to climate literacy and news about climate change developments and climate action efforts. I do not recall anything in her many posts and shares that I would have classed as problematic and warranting being permanently silenced. I find this development extremely alarming, raising questions about freedom of speech in a fragile era for humanity when populism and suppression seem to have become real threats.

If you support Zoe can you please share this to signal your concern that she has gone missing. If you have any direct experience of account suspension and how to constructively resolve any misunderstandings in relation to this important professional platform please share this in comments below. If you are uncomfortable sharing anything publicly, please direct message me and I will pass information on to Zoe.

From Glenn Lyons with our thanks, for the many of us long term Zoe Cohen readers.

Yarda yarda, young people.
