Listen to a reading of this article: I will never get used to living in a world where our rulers will openly imprison a journalist for telling the truth and then self-righteously pontificate about the need to stop authoritarian regimes from persecuting journalists.
Is there now, or has there ever been a more hypocritical country than the USA.
From Price "Journalists should never be punished for doing their job,"
From Blinken " No member of the press should be threatened, harassed, attacked, arrested, or killed for doing their job".
Would they care to review their statements in relation to the imprisonment and legal harassment of Julian Assange.
In a normal and honest media climate, just how long ago that was is beyond my memory, such hypocrisy would be all over the front pages of any publication worth its salt. These days, something of a joke. The only way one could hold such hypocrites to account would be in a live press environment. However, the questioner in such cases would likely be shuffled out of site, double quick.
But for all it is on the record, in this article and others who care for the truth. But unlikely anywhere (with a few exceptions) in the exceptional USA.
Oles Buzyna was a friend of mine, a journalist murdered in broad daylight on the streets of Kiev, for writing things that piss off the regime.
For that matter, the self-same regime and its cutouts compile the "myrotvorets" list of critics of the regime slated for murder. The list is maintained on a NATO server.
So why don't Blinken and Price ever mention the Kiev regime, which censored opposition media and instituted thought crimes even before the war was started? I mean, it's not as if the US has no leverage over its puppet.
Oh we all know it's only "official" sanctioned "journalist" friendly to western hegemony that are considered "persecuted" (western shills and mothpiecs for western empire) are considered "legit",, this is how they are trying to skate around their hypocrisy.
The gal of these scμm bags to try and paint themselves as sacrosanct with a straight face!
I hope some day they have that smirk slapped off their faces with the keys to a cell.
If only people would understand how the Uniparty manipulates division amongst people to gain mastery over them. Setting various ideologues to stir up hatred for their fellow man and thus so distracted that they cannot see how they are being used.
May God open everyone’s eyes to the need to strive to respect and love your fellow human beings.
Scribes and Pharisees: "do as they say, not as they do" When is someone going to scourge the moneychangers from the Temple of Democracy? Cause right now it looks to me like Satan is winning.
In the fall of 1727 Ben Franklin organized a group of men into a club whose primary purpose was inquiry into a variety of questions. This club thrived for nearly four decades and was known as the Junto, also as “the leather apron club.” (This group eventually evolved into the American Philosophical Society.) With few exceptions, the members of the group, like Franklin, were practical men: entrepreneurs, tradesmen, merchants. Only a few had much formal education.
Franklin was a student of Socrates. Could we create a Socratic Society?
Thanks for writing about these contradictions….hypocrites …..propagandists……frustrating to know that corporate owned rags simply ignore the subject….especially concerning Our dastardly disregard for justice and freedom of speech/press re Assange…Blinken and nod- have they not a single iota of conscience?
a systemic poison in the intellectual and moral atmosphere of collapsing US empire is the total inability for self reflection, self doubt, or humility. Compassion as well. It's all power, all the time.
Jullian Assange only made me realize how much higher moral standard the US has over eastern countries.
Killing a dozen of civilians is a stain on the millitary? How fucking kind the Americans are for such a case to become a national scandal? In the east, the minimum threshold for a massacre to even leave a record in the history is probabaly 10,000. For a easterner, the Americans are almost too humane to be outraged by merely a dozen deaths.

Hypocrites, one and all.
I am especially thankful on this Thanksgiving Day, for Caitlin Johnstone!

Probably just an oversight, right?

Keep up doing your good work!
THANK YOU for your work. I enjoy spending my mornings opening up substack and finding an article from you

I’d be naive to think this was incompetence

For them only domesticated lap dogs like NYT and WAPO are issued “press” credentials.
