Censorship, smearing and imprisonment await you if you
speak out against the US Imperialist MIC.
News media influences me a lot.
It makes me angry that it is so divorced from the reality of what is actually happening and it is, in my opinion, mostly political spin and profiteering.
Political influence that benefits the US MIC extends to Universities and colleges who have to tow the party line with what they are teaching if they wish to keep income from their government or, particularly in the States, from private donors. For example, the Open University in the UK repeats that Russia is a ‘dubious foreign agent’ who has used ‘Russian Intelligence linked trolls’ to influence US society. Though there is no evidence that links trolls with the Russian government nor that they had any influence whatsoever; this creates Russophobia and support for the US’s proxy war and profits for the MIC.
Even the BBC’s so-called ‘Verify’ bulletins continue to expose things like US trolls living in Russia spreading ‘fake news’ about Zelensky buying yachts claiming that these trolls are part of a ‘pro-Russian’ conspiracy (though it suspiciously played into the Republican narrative over funding for Ukraine). NB the Russians know they are going to ‘win’ regardless of how much funding or weapons the US sends, why would they bother with all this nonsense.
Debunked Russiagate is already being rolled out again. The anti-genocide protesters predicted at the Democratic conference are according to ‘experts in misinformation’ influenced by Russian trolls and bots at Putin’s direction. Independent journalists at the Grayzone are also being accused of being funded by Russia.
Journalist Fred Kaplan writes; “Openness allows the free exchange of ideas and expression of dissent but also leaves the system, and everyone in it, prey to criminals, terrorists, and, in this case, foreign spies and propagandists: all of them shrouded in anonymity … It may be time to impose some regulations on this system.”
To which the Grayzone responds ‘Censoring the Internet because it’s too free and doesn’t protect us from “the Russians” — this is the acceptable elite opinion in American politics today.’
Speaking out against vaccines is allowed as long as one promotes IVM, supplements or chicken immunoglobulins, keeps the virus narrative going, promotes unscientific claims about eating animal products, claims that the WEF have got several fields of science to lie and that climate change is not happening (like a doctor saying a patient isn’t ill; it’s all in their head) or comes up with ridiculous reasons that it is happening (like a doctor saying it’s invisible entities causing symptoms not the most obvious pollution in a patient’s environment). In other words, you’re allowed to get away with it if you’re really working to fossil fuel/animal ag/pharma/MIC’s benefit.
Censorship (which under Trump could include the scientists at NOAA who are deemed to be climate alarmists endangering fossil fuel profits) plus the smearing of journalists with nonsense about being Russian operatives and imprisonment in maximum security jails await those who speak out against the US/Israel hegemonic MIC.

Tragically, the consequences can be much worse than jail. You take your life, and the lives of your loved ones, in your hands when you criticize any aspect of the establishment narrative, especially if you're a journalist with a following.
