This is weird.

No sound for DU videos. Ran Avast and got audio confirmation when complete. MSNBC videos play, but not Youtube or DU.

Adjust your computer's audio level using the speaker icon in the taskbar.
Adjust your volume in the YouTube video toolbar.

2. Thank you!

It was the Youtube video volume.

Should have thought of that myself.

3. Internet being stopped

I have been documenting my issues on the computer for some time. At one time, an unknown antagonist wrote me a message that I would never play video games again. For over 3 years this has been and on again off again occurrence regarding the threat.
I enter into any website and it is as if I must wait for someone to push a switch before I am allowed to enter. I believed this is Politically motivated, and has to do with Verizon in NJ. I purchased a new computer recently, and it is still occurring. I tried to get help from Verizon tech support and they put me on hold and eventually hang up. My computer has a up to date videocard and 24 ram.

What can I do about this, if the powers that be are violating our freedoms without repercussions?

4. you should post that in the conspiracy theories forum

This is more than likely a technical issue. Nobody is targeting you to stop your internet. Perhaps your router has erroneous settings.
If you do not get a satisfactory answer with the verizon tech support, insist on speaking to a supervisor. I had technical problems before where the level 1 customer support (the first people you speak to, they follow a script and are not techies at al) kept giving me the run around. After escalading to higher level (asking to speak to a supervisor), they finally put me in touch with a real tech who figured out what was going on.
