I am struck by, and suspicious of the lack of follow-up reporting. A suspicion enhanced by some other reports on increasing media intimidation. Am I being a bit paranoid, or an observant realist?
Substack is blocking direct replies over two or three lines to comments from readers. This is for Mike Hampton: The Tik Tok post said she was found "in her apartment" then the few article found said it was a "open rooftop terrace" or balcony. We are now a week out from her being found. One thing I did not mention in the post is friends found her after they had not heard from her or get responses to messages for two or three days. Could a body lay out on a balcony or roof top in a crowded French city and not be spotted for that long.
This post has had over 500 views and I am guessing at least a few people went searching for updates but I have not heard of anything back from them.
Yes, you are right. People in Britain have received fines and incarceration for social media posts. I think there is a growing movement among the western oligarchs a dn Zion*azis to shut down free speech and a meaningful media.
The silence is deafening as they say. Why haven't we heard any follow-up stories on these journalists who have been killed, detained, questioned and harassed? It's like we're supposed to "forget" any of of these injustices occurred and go about our merry ways. I, for one, am not going to forget them. I hope we hear more from Julian Assange and Wikileaks about these events as well. Power to the citizen journalists!
It really is, Diana. The story of the raid and abuse of the Florida RT reporter is obscene and I didn't find any follow-up stories or commentaries. I don't recall the last time I found so little on a story of such significance as the two female journalists. Let me know if you come across any follow-up stories of leads.
We live in dark times when it's become downright dangerous to be criticizing empire and then having no one around for safety.
Another substack writer critical of empire was demonetized very recently, which goes to show that the extend of their influence goes far beyond this platform, so expect that they're reading these same articles, it's a public forum after all while they conduct their affairs in total secrecy.
Oh, no doubt. I already suspect I have a couple "followers" who are some kind of agency or shady private group. Platforms like Substack could easily be shut down in the next year.
Man, moving around that website is difficult! Looks like a lot of good information, but pages would shift on me.
The fact that there is no update on the information they posted, which was what the mainstream media was providing immediately after the death was reported, indicates nothing is being done. And the press is doing nothing. No interviews with family or co-workers/editors. Strongly suggest state involvement and ongoing suppression.
I wanted to contact them about a photo of "Genocide" Joe Biden hugging some unnamed female journalist who had been released from some country, to point out that through his unconditional support of Israel, Biden is directly responsible for the murder of some 200+ journalists (and counting) and the imprisonment and torture of only god knows how many others, but I couldn't find a 'contact' tab.
Or they send in the bots and the web crawlers - there's not much that we can do about that on a public forum, apart from becoming better informed there's not much that can be done here, the change that we all desire won't happen by remaining seated behind our pc screens, we're up against the uniformed and carefully chosen bullies, in other words what;s required is a revolution a global on at that however the only time when the uniforms changed sides was during the Russian revolution, so back to the drawing board.

Thanks. We need some of the citizen activism being seen in South Korea. They had a million on the streets. A friend who lived in SK for a number of years told me the people are very politically aware and speak up.
The web will continue to serve a purpose however remember how the Gilet Jeunes started out by talking to people on street corners every friday afternoon - How convenient the plandemic kept everyone inside.
I hope so. I live in a community where there is no political activity. People don't even discuss political issues. We're only about 10,000 and 2.5 hours from the nearest large city, so there's a degree of (temporary) insulation from the reality of what is happening in the states. Whenever I have tried to have any kind of political discussion the subject is changed or the other person suddenly remembers and appointment they have to go to.
Earlier today there was a meeting of the state Green Party at the other end of the state. I was going to watch it on Zoom to see what they were up to. But the link didn't work.
Parked in front of the PC is my only option at this point. I make everything available for free in hope that my effort can have some reach and positive effect. It's one thing I can do.
What is the prevailing ideology in that community - A lot of people have quite simply given up and just want to live out the rest of their days with no issues and a roof over their head.
If no political activity they might just be leaning towards self rule and or anarchistic ideology, a lot will depends on how this is presented to them.
We're up against empire and not everyone understands that or how that effects the decision making process of a government - As an Australian it's perfectly clear to me how Canberra is being ruled and manipulated from afar - All our so called democratically elected Western governments are being ruled from afar and there's a lot more to that as it's the result of the previous 2 world wars - From that aspect I'm all for self government and appreciate anarchistic ideology.
Substack blocked #1, so here's #2. I have no more faith in the courage of most corporate journalists than I do in the Democrats. Today's Surveillance State can 'cancel' or 'disappear' any of us, no matter how small our 'audience' with the push of a button.
With the capabilities of today's Surveillance State, anyone of us, no matter how small our 'audience,' can be 'silenced' with a simple push of a button. Based on the treatment of the likes of Chris Hedges, Matt Taibbi, etc. I fear the corporate hacks will simply accept the new, even more restrictive narrative of Empire. I have no more faith in their courage or integrity than I do in the Democrats.
Jenny, you don't have to pay me. I haven't even turned the pay feature on. I just make everything available for free. If people put the art and information to use to make change. That's the only payment I hope for. I'm not rich, but I focus on living moderately. Either hold on to the money or donate it to one of the non-profits trying to help the Palestinian. Thanks for the support.
It is so kind and generous of you. I feel I’m substack-poor but I want to help independent journalists get established and be able to report news that will never make it past mainstream censors. It wouldn’t surprise me if they try to close down substack under the guise of “misinformation.”
Thanks, I enjoy the work and it provides me a bit of a safety valve to release some of my frustration and outrage. A few years ago a friend sent me a NYTimes photo of a protest in Paris and the image of Trump that was on a large poster being held up by three young women was a large copy of one of my cartoons. That made my week.

This also happened to Richard Medhurst and others in Britain.
Yes, you are right. People in Britain have received fines and incarceration for social media posts. I think there is a growing movement among the western oligarchs a dn Zion*azis to shut down free speech and a meaningful media.
Most likely. The empire's lies aren't working anymore and the ruling class can't allow that.
Yup. That's how it looks. They don't believe in truth or real facts.
Absolutely correct in NATOSTAN.

Another journalist dead.
That's really sad.
Yet more proff that God's chosen people have a far darker plan than Greater Israel.
Global Domination.
Any resistance will be throughly crushed.
As for our Constitution, it's meaningless without people willing to die for it.
It's meaningless anyway.

Yeah, that is one of the stories I linked to. It was the most detailed I found.
Yes, that is all I have found so far too ☹
I will search further while doing the News Roundup
Thanks. Active censorship. I hope her family is okay and getting real information.
As do I Mark. It’s terrifying that our lives are worth nothing to these lunatics because we are against genocide.
She was found on the rooftop of her building. If there's no "suspicious situation", then why did the police not say "suicide".
Mike I'm having weird problems replying, I have to post a separate note.
This is really chilling. Thanks for sharing, Mark.
It really is, Diana. The story of the raid and abuse of the Florida RT reporter is obscene and I didn't find any follow-up stories or commentaries. I don't recall the last time I found so little on a story of such significance as the two female journalists. Let me know if you come across any follow-up stories of leads.
Will do, Mark.
There's hardly anything to be found. https://www.womeninjournalism.org/alerts/france-transparent-inquiry-needed-as-pro-palestine-journalist-marine-vlahovic-found-dead-in-her-home

Silencing demonetizing and murdering their critics.
Maybe she was whacked by a Mossad sniper.

I've known knocks on my door in my country.
Jenny, how are you protecting them.
