[...] and it resulted in very liberal investigators and administrators who knew nothing about Palestine - who know nothing that's going
on aside from what our political leaders and corporate media - determining that I was an anti-semitic monster because of the sort of things about me that actually make me a good anthropologist. Like I question power, I question institutions, I question empire and settler-colonialism. That's actually kind of inherent to what I think a good anthropologist should be doing.

Glenn Diesen in conversation with the former CIA Director of Russia analysis

Glenn Diesen:

[...] if you try to explain the policies of the opponent it's said "well now you're legitimizing their view" and everything is seemingly these days about shaping narratives to construct a favorable reality if you will, and becomes very difficult to do any analysis I noticed.

George Bebee:

Yes there's been a lot of narrative management if you want to call it that, going on in the west, there's a policing of public discourse that's meant to rule out certain things, and it began happening even before the Russian invasion, but it was quite clearly intensified afterwards. [...] I would imagine that if I were to go back and and look at Western media coverage of the invasion just from a content analysis point of view that word "unprovoked" would be very, very frequent in this use in front of invasion anybody that suggested that there may have been some element of provocation that affected Russian decisions on all of this of course was immediately anathematized you know. [...] And that actually obscures our ability to understand what's going on it doesn't enhance it unfortunately.

The sickening ratcheting up of pressure on Palestine supporters by super Zionist Keir Starmer continued yesterday with a 6am raid on highly distinguished journalist Asa Winstanley. All his electronics and journalistic materials were seized. [...]

YouTube just removed my entire channel, claiming I violated their β€œHate Speech” policy. 8 years of tireless work, and 63,000 subscribers gone. I know it doesn’t come as a surprise given YouTube’s recent crackdown, but I’m still devastated.

I attempted to appeal, and it was denied within minutes.

Our YouTube channel was unjustly ripped away today under the pathetic pretext of 'repeated violations of community guidelines'β€”with ZERO prior warnings. This blatant act of Western censorship is nothing short of absurd, and frankly, we don’t expect to see our channel restored anytime soon.

This is an outrageous attack on free speech, a direct effort to silence us because we dare to challenge the mainstream narrative.

Now, more than ever, we need your support. Please donate at DDGeopolitics. com β€”your contributions are critical to keeping us afloat. In the meantime, follow us on X, Rumble, and Odysee β€”platforms that still value freedom of expression.

We won’t be silenced. We’ll keep you updated and, with your support, we’ll keep fighting!

Richard Medhurst Arrested

I was arrested at Heathrow Airport under the Terrorism Act, Sec 12 because of my reporting.

6 police officers were waiting for me at the entrance of the aircraft.

I was held for almost 24 hours and questioned.

I believe I'm the first journalist to be arrested under this provision of the Terrorism Act.

I feel that this is a political persecution and hampers my ability to work as a journalist.

[W]e’re back in this sort of period in which um the federal government is very intolerant of any opinion that does not support its policies and actions, and few people have been as effective as Scott Ritter in questioning the official narrative, particularly about Ukraine.

The state department - and this is no exaggeration George - has tried to kill me. It seeks to silence me through violence and intimidation. That's what they do with the Ukrainian government as their proxies. The state department funds it, organizes it, and approves everything they do. I've been listed as the the number one so-called Russian propagandist on this Myrotvorets hit list and on the center for countering disinformation. Having failed to either kill me, intimidate me, or silence me, they now have revoked my passport to prevent me from talking.
