Thank you, Caitlin. Love to RM and to Syria! Peace to all! (As delusional it sounds now and then, it's still sincerely, resoundingly and consistently felt.)
Medium, my former publisher, owns my writings and has canceled me. I do have access(to my writings) for whatever that is worth. I will move to Substack in the near future, but 4+ years worth of my materiel is now, in toto, censored. Freedom of speech is really a figment, an ideal, they proselytize as lessons in grade schools in "democracy". What a crock. Speak out about the corruption of Big Pharma--the *vaccines*--and get censored. Or, for that matter, anything that government/big business deems 'inappropriate'. Like enemies of the state, Soleimani, for example. Fascism is here now in all its ugly, vainglorious spectacle. It will only worsen from here on out. Peace, The Ol' Hippy
we know who the criminals are and what they have done to humanity and mother earth. they can never erase their crimes no matter how they may try. we shall make sure that each and every one of them pay for each and every crime of theirs sooner than later.
Problem is it's private companies. They did the same to me stating I was supporting the Taliban. Iran is not my enemy. Neither are the Taliban. Good read. Thanks Cait.
At least, if you believe the justification given, the corporate censorship took place because "anything which seems supportive of [Soleimani] constitutes a violation of US sanctions and must therefore be removed."
Of course, that's just an excuse, Meta using sanctions as a pretext to do what they wanted to do.
Thanks for taking on censorship. I have leftist friends who dismiss it as just a RW boogeyman/talking point. The sooner we can disabuse them of this misguided notion, the better.
The US was taken over a long time ago, and not just The US. Politicians are script-reading puppets Trump included. Conspiracy reality:'Since the beginning of the Corona operation, many people began to realize that their governments have been taken over by very powerful and extremely evil forces, making political leaders worldwide move in unison to unleash unprecedented tyranny on their citizens.': The Hidden History of the Revived Roman Empire https://lionessofjudah.substack.com/p/the-hidden-history-of-the-revived
So much for the First Amendment. Just say the magic words "Muh Foreign Terrorist Organization Abracadabra!" and the Bill of Rights vanishes without a trace.
For what it's worth, I'd like to know from where the "It's not government censorship; it's just corporations being corporations" nonsense sprung, because it's the exact same response my BlueAnon family-member offered me. I thought at the time it was uniquely incredible.
Thanks for covering this, Caitlin, as well as for reminding us all what a complete Zionist sycophant Donald Trump is, and, with his silencing of Assange, he's every bit as dangerous a censor as any authoritarian democrat. With 2024 looming, Trump remains an only slightly different iteration of the problems which afflict us.
Anyone who wages war on knowledge and information for whatever reason is our true enemy.
At the same time, the neocons seamlessly shifted their support to Team D, as soon as it became apparent that Team D would be in power and would give them the wars and empire they so crave.
So can we finally admit that things like censoring talk about dead people in the west has caught up with CCP censorship? Or are we still not there yet?
I have to ask, why do you pick out only Fox? Do you actually watch Fox? I sometimes see Tucker Carlson clips when they're posted in various outlets.
If you want to see Hate and Censorship, (that's a rhetorical "want") then Reddit is the place. Discussion is so completely siloed that only a couple of subs allow "debate", but it isn't really "debate" because the participants are so ignorant. I don't condemn them for "not knowing" but for "not wanting to know".
Sigh, I see I've probably fallen into the same trap.
Anyway, for some alternate views I've found https://thesaker.is to be quite helpful. Their analysis of the coming war in Ukraine and the stupidity of Israel bombing Syria and the way Israel keeps tweaking Iran was very enlightening. Not everything there is "high quality", but that's true almost everywhere (and "quality" is in the eye of the reader anyway). I found the explanation of the rift between this site and antiwar.com disturbing.
And of course https://www.opednews.com where I keep finding Scott Ritter. (Who tells me that Russia's $60B/year army can kick America's ass in the Ukraine any day of the week)
Lastly, the last 3 podcasts from Moderate Rebels https://moderaterebels.com which included Ritter discussing America's "war" with Russia and some eye-opening explanations of what is going on in South and Central America that I've heard no where else. The expulsion of Taiwan diplomats in exchange for Economic Aid from the PRC, including building a canal across Nicaragua highlights how ineffective American "power" is.
America's judgement day seems to be fast approaching. The Bully is about to get its' comeuppance.

Correct, which tells me whatever lip service Trump gave to fighting the deep state, he continued empowering the worst elements of it.
