It's sad that people don't seem to realize the aggressive level of censorship required to prop up our collapsing empire.

1) Over 80% of airwaves owned by just 5 corporations - anything that doesn't agree w/ corporate America is purged, pushed out to the edges of the internet.

2) Julian Assange has been imprisoned & cut off lest he keep revealing war crimes & the truth about the empire. He serves as an example to any others who might dare to inform the citizenry about the crimes done in their names.

3) Those revealing the anti-corporate or anti-capitalist reality are heavily suppressed on YouTube. My Redacted Tonight account has 230,000 subscribers & yet every video is shown to about 2% of those. No one is "recommended" a Redacted video any more.

4) Facebook heavily suppresses & shadow bans those of us revealing the anti-corporate/ anti-capitalist reality. I have 330,000 Facebook followers & yet my posts are generally shown to less than 1% of them, & the number of followers has not increased for 4 years.

5) Wikipedia has also carefully perpetrated a campaign of propaganda & fear against those of us speaking the truth, including excellent outlets like the @TheGrayzoneNews & @MintPressNews. Meanwhile corporate state propaganda outlets like the NY Times are held up as holy.

6) America claims to have "free speech" yet the oligarchy knows truly free speech is dangerous. Big tech funnels millions of viewers to the corporate pro-war media outlets while shutting out all of us who are pro-peace & against neoliberal exploitation.
