For the last two years, I have been posting political essays at Medium.com. Many of these essays dealt with Russiagate, of which I have been severely skeptical from the very start. And by that I mean not just the idiot partisan fantasy that the Trump campaign "colluded" with the Russian government, but the underlying predicate that the Russian government executed a plan to interfere in the 2016 election. The same Deep State actors and Clintonite partisan hacks who invented the collusion narrative also provided the "proof" of Russian interference. My considered opinion of this "proof" is that it is by turns evidence-free, overtly bogus, and inane. And I view it as yet another component of an overall campaign of our Deep State and its political and media tools to demonize Russia and Russia's allies at every possible opportunity - the purpose being to insure that our military-industrial complex has the enemy needed to justify sucking up vast quantities of OUR money that could better be employed serving humane needs. And that's the underlying reason that I am so exercised about the Russiagate hoax, and so dedicated to doing what little I can to debunking it.

About a week ago, after publication on Medium of one of my Russiagate essays, I received the following response from a "Stuart Fisher":

I find it highly suspicious that this article drops after the Mueller document punctures some big holes in the Seth Rich theory. It stinks to high heaven of active measures.

I’ve reported this article to Medium, I hope they have the journalistic integrity to remove this propaganda piece.

(Note: "active measures" refers to activities of Russian intelligence, as Wikipedia informs me.)

Within a few days, my entire body of work at Medium was suspended, without explanation. I have received no explanation from Medium, and my several emails to them have gone unanswered. Here is the most recent of them:

Sirs - It has been three days, and I have yet to receive a response as to why my entire body of work at Medium - 234 essays and comments - has been suspended. Your own website states that authors are contacted prior to the suspension of an essay.

I honestly do not believe that I have slandered private individuals, engaged in obscenity, or encouraged illegal violence. But, if I had done so in a specific essay, you should have contacted me beforehand - and then suspended only the offending article. Instead, MY ENTIRE BODY OF WORK HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. This is the sort of treatment I could have expected if I had been a German defending Jews in Nazi Germany.

And maybe that gets to the crux of the issue - because "Russians" in the US now enjoy the same high regard as Jews did in Nazi Germany. And I have been at pains to debunk the constant stream of Russophobic lies that our powers-that-be are employing to insure that we have an enemy meriting the continuing expenditure ot trillions of dollars on our war machine and empire.

I am not Russian, sadly have never known a Russian. I was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and am a biomedical scientist of some significance:

I am a native-born American who wants his country to be at peace with the rest of the world so that we can all work together to build a better civilization for all of us. And my constant mission is to debunk the lies and liars that keep us at loggerheads with others for no good reason.

In the lead up to the Iraq invasion, I, like many others, figured out that the so-called evidence for Saddam's WMDs was total bunk. The essays I wrote to warn Americans of this are still on-line:

This had nothing to do with Russia - it had to do with preventing needless, illegal, catastrophic war rooted in lies. I am operating in the same spirit today.

If you revoke my suspension, I am willing to let bygone-be-bygones. But if you don't, I will take pains to insure that the alternative media are alerted to the atrocity that has been perpetrated on me. If you are willing to let people learn that Medium is a fascistic organization under the thumb of the Deep State, so be it.

I await your prompt response.

Sincerely, Mark F. McCarty, San Diego

I should add that, in the weeks preceding my suspension, I had been receiving what I interpreted as threatening phone calls. As soon as I posted a new article on Medium, I received 5 or 6 phone calls per day - each from numbers that were "private" or that used area codes not corresponding to real areas. When I answered these calls, all I could hear was silence. After several days, these harrassing calls would taper off - until I posted another essay on Medium. After I was suspended, these phone calls wholly ceased.

It's also curious that "Stuart Fisher" has never before or since published an essay or a comment on Medium. I suspect that he was part of the group making the phone calls.

I also suspect I was getting too close to developing an understanding of what actually happened between the DNC, Crowdstrike, "Guccifer 2.0", and Seth Rich. Since my work is still not well known, those tracking me felt that it would be smart to "disappear" my work now, before I became better known and it would be more difficult to censor me.

I have managed to save html webpages of my censored articles. I therefore propose to reconstruct many of them here at caucus99percent - most particularly those dealing with Russiagate, although I have also written about the "Assad gassing his own people" hoax, the Skripal case, and the shoot-down of MH17, among other things. I have also critiqued the Deep State vendetta against the Trump campaign - whereas I view Trump as an idiotic and in some respects tragic excuse for a President, the warrantless vendetta against him is inexcusable, as it sets a precedent for Deep State control of our democracy.

I plan to post one essay a day, beginning with those pertaining to Russiagate. I will post them in chronological order, because some of the later essays have links to the earlier essays, and I can't add the links until the previous essay has been posted. I apologize that I will be posting articles some of which are as much as two years old, but I will add their original dates of publication so that you can bear this in mind if you choose to read them.

As to my political orientation, I am a strong supporter of both Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard, and spend a fair amount of my time at the Way of the Bern subreddit. But I have posted several essays at Caucus99percent in the past. In fact, if I had been wise enough to chose this venue rather than Medium to post my long-form essays, I wouldn't have my current problem!

Thanks for this opportunity to do an end run around the Medium censors. I will not be deterred!
