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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
IT's becoming increasingly obvious that 'deep diving' Journalists are being killed.
What can we do about this?
MY suggestion is: Instead of keeping away from these Journalists we need to stretch out out hands and bodies to protect them.
There are numerous people who walk away. I am not one of those.
WE PROTECT THEM with our lives.
At the same time these Journalists NEED to reach out to the public too.
WAS this brave woman without friends?
Did her 'friends so-called' turn her in? Did they know about her clandestine work?
IF anything happens to Scott Ritter we will all know.....he is famous.
The other Journalists are not worthy of reporting.
SHIT SHIT
I await a knock on my door everyday for speaking out in France.
I've known knocks on my door in my country.
Jenny, how are you protecting them.
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.

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.

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.

Will do, Mark.
You’re not paranoid.
It’s suspect.
Mark: I did one post which was accepted.
The other was not.
I am still trying to pay you.
I go to my home page it is obvious to me that my Visa card is old.
I will get there in the end.
SHIT I do not need this from substack!

Maybe she was whacked by a Mossad sniper.
