An Insane Level Of Censorship Regarding Seymour Hersh
I knew that the MSM was censoring Seymour Hersh, but I dramatically underestimated it.
Scores of hits from publications across the globe pop up from an internet search for veteran investigative reporter Seymour Hersh’s claim that the US destroyed Russia’s Nord Stream gas pipeline.But what is most striking about the page after page of results from Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo in the weeks following the February 8 posting of Hersh’s story isn’t what is there, but what is not to be found:
The Times of London (2/8/23) reported Hersh’s story hours after he posted it on his Substack account, but nothing in the New York Times.
Britain’s Reuters News Agency moved at least ten stories (2/8/23, 2/9/23, 2/12/2, 2/15/23, among others), the Associated Press not one.
Not a word broadcast by the major US broadcast networks—NBC, ABC, CBS—or the publicly funded broadcasters PBS and NPR.
No news stories on the nation’s major cable outlets, CNN, MSNBC and Fox News.
It's not often that you see shoulder-to-shoulder uniformity in the media. From DuckDuckGo to Fox.
Let's take a moment and consider how Hersh, the greatest journalist of our lifetime, is being 100% censored by the private media companies (not the government)for the crime of practicing journalism.

Whatever does not fit the US narrative
will not be broadcast to US audiences. Seems we, here, are in a minority where we
get our news and opinions. Slipstream not mainstream.
question everything
There is no private media
It is all Government media.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.

True.

I believe the opposite
There's no government except what the corporations allow
The corporations?
Or the Oligarchs that own the Corporations and the Government?
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Very, very true
Sadly.

The Reuters reporter and cameraman
that got splattered in Bagdad by an American gunship hardly registered a complaint from corporate headquarters. And nothing reported in American MSM. Thanks to Julian Assange the world knows.
When Jamal Khashoggi was cut up we heard nothing much from his employer, the Washington Post or its owner Besos.
Now they are going after Tucker Carlson. Will Fox step up to defend him?
It is clear, the MSM knows their place. Don't rock the boat.
IMHO

It's really weird. Once you
It's really weird. Once you notice one thing off, it all starts to look off. It's all there, but you have to look for it. No one is broadcasting warning signs in the mainstream, there can be no other reason for that.
If it was easy, everyone would do it.
Empire is flailing, and their narratives are failing.
When undeniable reality clashes with Empire’s curated narratives, risible absurdities are sure to follow. Like the US announcing that a handful of pro Ukrainian Russian nationals and rented sailboat were responsible for the Nordstream sabotage. Seriously?
Only in America is the population so thoroughly propagandized that the utter absurdity of the claim is not immediately dismissed.
Mission Accomplished.

It is likely
that he will experience a horrific botched robbery soon...
And the overwhelming response will be "Who could have foreseen such a thing?".
Right. Nothing to see here, move along. There are Kardashians on the teevee.
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
Old school honest journalists are being weeded out of
the gardens of truth. Being replaced by astroturf seamless info machines.
Sad. At least we, of a certain vintage, remember an alternate reality.
question everything
Matt Taibbi
is testifying in Congress this morning regarding censorship and government control of social media and the news media. While it does not mention Hersh, and focuses on The Twitter Files, he might bring up the subject in the question/answer segment.
Government directs what is and is not in all media. There is no doubt the Government has directed the media to steer clear of the Hersh bomb shell expose'.

Just the other day, the NY Times
...published an announcement that unnamed sources from the top Leadership of the US Intelligence Community have discovered that a secret Pro-Ukraine group — which is unaffiliated with the Ukrainian government — are the ones who bombed Nord Stream 2.
That's the official word from the CIA Mouthpiece NYT — and they are sticking to it. Everything else is a conspiracy theory.
And if Hersh is mentioned at all,
When they do it, it is Truth. When others do it, it is CT. Always.

Hersh was not mentioned.
Wonder if they will call Hersh
Ok. LOL!

Yup
Anyone who says that it’s only the media that is ignoring the Hersh story and not the government making sure that they do hasn’t been paying attention to the Twitter files or what happened way back during the Russia gate saga. Lots of people here knew that it was leading to censorship. Now the shitlibs are telling the general to censor anyone who doesn’t parrot the government line on what they think the truth is. Misinformation kills! Damn right it does. Safe and effective is not only misinformation, it’s a lie. Effective means you don’t have to keep taking jabs over and over and still getting infected.
Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.
Speaking of government censorship
This needs some serious attention.

America's Secret Censorship-Industrial Complex
Information warfare…that’s a excellent description of what has been happening and it has gotten worse since Obama rescinded the anti propaganda act just in time for the government and intelligence agencies to lie to us about Trump, Putin and Russia. I’m still working my way through the 2nd essay.
Also remember that any president can order you arrested and thrown in prison without access to a lawyer or a trial. Isn’t that just what we are seeing with the number of people who were at the capitol on 1/6? At least they have had access to a lawyer and will eventually get a trial, but they are being labeled as domestic terrorists which is probably why the event was allowed to happen without adequate security. Schumer said again yesterday that 5 cops were killed during the riots, but that isn’t true. And one cop that they said had been killed was videod after the time he was supposed to have been.
