Uhh that's bat shit crazy actually. I'm an entirely crowdfunded writer and I've only been writing since 2016. Many different websites republish my work online; I don't write for any of them. I wrote to Katehon in 2018 and asked them not to use my work; they ignored me.
I think I've been accused of working for every single government that has been targeted by US imperialism. I do not work for or with any government nor write anything at anyone's behest. I'm entirely independent and nobody tells me what to write.
The person circulating today's slander has me blocked, FYI.

'Journalists' Who Smear Assange Are Pure Scum

"There's shit, there's the shit that would come out of shit if shit could shit, and then there's people like @jamesrbuk."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/journalists-…
I wouldn't have thought that any mass media reporters would have the temerity to continue the public smear campaign against Julian Assange after it became clear to everyone that his case threatens everyone. But if anyone was going to try it, it would be the odious James Ball.
Ball, who as @Suzi3D documented in 2016 has been working within the MSM to destroy Assange's reputation for years, has just published yet another ugly smear piece titled "Julian Assange is no hero. I should know — I lived with him and his awful gang".

Capitalism doesn't drive innovation, it crushes it. If this were driven by profit-seeking this design would have been kept secret for years--making worldwide collaboration impossible--while the copyright was put in place so a medical company could sell it at extortionate prices.
Imagine a humanity where this was how innovation manifested in our world.

We need to evolve.

"Well I'm a leftist and I haven't been banned on social media."

That's because you're politically impotent, you fucking tool. Unless this is just a hobby for you, at some point you should plan on becoming a threat to the oligarchs and warmongers. What do you think happens then?
Do you really think if the left actually becomes a threat to the status quo the Neera Tandens and Rachel Maddows aren't going to suddenly discover a reason why you're dangerous and need to be censored? The only way to be fine with censorship is to plan on never challenging power.
Tech billionaires are not on your side, and neither are the government agencies and plutocratic media leaning on them to implement censorship. Those institutions don't give a shit about silencing the right, they want to implement measures to silence you when the time comes.

The Boot Is Coming Down Hard And Fast

"This is all happening just in time for the Biden administration, about which critics had already been voicing grave concerns regarding the future of internet censorship."

Biden has announced plans to roll out new domestic terrorism laws in the wake of the Capitol Hill riot.

Did you know that Biden has often boasted about being the original author of the US Patriot Act?

MSM Already Using Capitol Hill Riot To Call For More Internet Censorship

@nytimes has wasted no time publishing not one but two new articles bolstering the narrative that more internet censorship is needed to prevent repeats of today's incidents.
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/msm-already-…
The United States received a very small taste of its own medicine today as rioting Trump fanatics temporarily forced their way into the nation's Capitol building, and now the whole nation is freaking out.
rt.com/op-ed/511740-u…
I am being generous when I say the US got a taste of its own medicine; unlike the horrific coups and violent uprisings the US routinely orchestrates in nations around the world, this one stood exactly zero chance of seizing control of the government, and only one person died.

Aaand there it is, right in alignment with the US Senate Judiciary Committee who told social media giants in 2017 that it is their duty to "prevent the fomenting of discord.” Expect this to become the dominant narrative.
"Civil wars don’t start with gunshots, they start with words. America’s war with itself has already begun. We all must act now on the social media battlefield to quell information rebellions"
~ @selectedwisdom to social media officials at the hearing.

Rightist wingnuts are always used to justify policies that are designed to neuter the left. That's why any leftist who's cheered internet censorship for the wingnuts has been applying their own muzzle on behalf of the authoritarians. Many still don't realize this.
