Hey everyone, I wanted to make it known that myself and another person at MintPress have been made aware of recent behind the scenes smears that may go public soon against MintPress, and specifically me, from other alt media ppl and sites that used to support us.

A Thread:

I have learned that this is mostly coming from two different camps, described below. This is based on what I was told by four diff independent journalists, incl. some I work with, who directly heard or were told about smears of me in private made by other alt medi ppl

One side of this seems to be upset at my recent reporting that is critical of Israel, esp my report on the 9/11 FOIA release. My reporting on Israel has always been consistent yet these "antiSemite" accusations have only started from other altmedia ppl since that report came out.

The other part of this seems to be related to a long standing "beef" I have with a certain alt media personality and that person's growing influence over a handful of alt media pages which have recently associated themselves with a movement where this person is influential.

To set the record straight, if any of these alt media personalities have an issue with my reporting, they should say it publicly and allow me to respond on a public forum for readers to see, not in private conversations to my colleagues.

If you want to make ad hom attacks behind my back on me instead of have a legit, public discussion about my reporting, maybe you should consider working in MSM and not in indie media. Indie media has enough problems as it is. btw, this is from ppl who repubbed my work for yrs.

To those accusing me of "anti-Semitism," let me make it clear that I will not be intimidated to stop critical reporting on Zionist extremism, Likud policies or the GOVERNMENT of a foreign nation and its influence abroad.

If you are conflating the billionaire Zionist extremists, corrupt Israeli politicians and Mossad actions that I report on with “the Jews,” you are part of the problem and are enabling the groups trying to wipe out alt media, esp outlets like MintPress that support BDS.

If you treat critical reporting on the actions of the Mossad as an attack on Judaism but would not treat critical reporting on the CIA as an attack on all Americans, you are a hypocrite period.
