thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-04--Editorial In New England Journal Of Medicine Calls For Mandatory Vaccine Under Medical Tyranny

The medical profession , specifically physicians , and public health officials have absolutely lost their morals , ethics , scientific critical thinking skills , compassion , and common sense .
In other words , they have lost their entire minds , robotically parroting the programmed propaganda surrounding the “ vaccine ” for CON-VID-19 .
On October 1 , 2020 , the New England Journal of Medicine published an opinion piece authored by various individuals holding either an M.P.H .
or Ph.D or both , calling for mandatory CON-VID-19 vaccinations for the population of the US .
Their argument for “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ individuals , including the right to self-determine one ’ s health care and medical treatment or none at all , the right to be secure in one ’ s person , the right to work and freedom of movement .
Moreover , their suggestions for penalties are aimed at avoiding any legal challenges “ on procedural due process grounds.
” Their premise for “ mandating ” vaccines begins with citing the need for “ herd immunity ” through vaccination .
As Covid-19 continues to exact a heavy toll , development of a vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ normalcy to civil life .
Perhaps no scientific breakthrough is more eagerly anticipated .
But bringing a vaccine to market is only half the challenge ; also critical is ensuring a high enough vaccination rate to achieve herd immunity .
Concerningly , a recent poll found that only 49 % of Americans planned to get vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.1 One option for increasing vaccine uptake is to require it .
Mandatory vaccination has proven effective in ensuring high childhood immunization rates in many high-income countries .
However , except for influenza vaccination of health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ widely used for adults .
The authors – Mello , Silverman , and Omer , acknowledge a vaccine may be some time in the making ; however , they urge developing a policy strategy framework to ensure uptake of the vaccine , which is where “ mandates ” come into play .
These individuals ’ recommendations are guided by “ lessons from U.S. experiences with vaccines for the 1976 “ swine flu , ” H1N1 influenza , smallpox , and human papillomavirus ( HPV ) .
” If you know anything about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rushed into production , sidestepping many safeguards , and resulted in substantial injury to recipients .
Gardasil is the measuring stick for the rushed CON-VID-19 vaccine .
We believe that six substantive criteria should be met before a state imposes a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine mandate ( see box ) .
The first is the existence of evidence that Covid-19 is inadequately controlled in the state by other measures , such as testing , contact tracing , and isolation and quarantine — as indicated by sustained , troubling trends in new cases , hospitalizations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law and ethics require that interventions that impinge on autonomy be reasonable and necessary ; therefore , Covid-19 must present an ongoing threat .
By the time a vaccine is available , more will be known about natural immunity in the population , the consequences of relaxing community mitigation measures , and the feasibility of scaling up test-and-trace strategies .
There should be a reasonable indication as to whether further measures are needed .
The six criteria are : • Covid-19 is not adequately contained in the state .
• The Advisory Committee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the groups for which a mandate is being considered .
• The supply of vaccine is sufficient to cover the population groups for which a mandate is being considered .
• Available evidence about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine has been transparently communicated .
• The state has created infrastructure to provide access to vaccination without financial or logistic barriers , compensation to workers who have adverse effects from a required vaccine , and real-time surveillance of vaccine side effects .
• In a time-limited evaluation , voluntary uptake of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the level required to prevent epidemic spread .
In the second criteria , the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices ( ACIP ) has to recommend vaccination for persons “ who would be covered by a mandate ” , AFTER the committee reviewed the safety and efficacy reports .
Where are these safety and efficacy reports originating – the pharmaceutical company , the Food and Drug Administration , etc.
?
Big Pharma pays for FDA staff to approve new drugs through their payments to the FDA for approval applications .
Those who the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like health care workers , nursing home patients , high-risk elderly , prison inmates , the military , and dormitory residents .
Mandates , these individuals assert , has to hinge on an adequate supply of the vaccination , meaning someone has to decide who gets the vaccine first .
Another criterion is evidence of the vaccine ’ s safety and efficacy , which should be “ transparently communicated ” , according to these experts .
Again , Gardasil is the benchmark here .
Despite the “ communicated safety and efficacy ” , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be transparent , Gardasil has caused terrible long-lasting effects in many individuals .
Now , Congress has made Big Pharma immune from litigation resulting from injury from this CON-VID-19 vaccine .
The solution these individuals contend is to have the “ state ” , read government that gets its money from taxpayers , establish avenues to compensate those who are injured as a result of the vaccine , in addition to providing “ free ” vaccines , while “ monitoring ” for vaccine side effects .
In other words , those promoting “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are advocating the taxpayer cough up compensation for those injured by these vaccines , instead of the pharmaceutical companies and those pushing for a vaccine , aka Bill Gates , Anthony Fauci , Robert Redfield , Deborah Birx , and a host of others .
They go on to malign the observational evidence of Hydroxychloroquine against this type of influenza that can not be contributed to any “ new ” microorganism because the microorganism has not been isolated .
These individuals who are to base recommendations on science ignore the established , gold @ @ @ @ @ @ @ methods ignoring Koch ’ s and Rivers ’ postulates , “ viral loads ” ( which has not been discussed because no proof of a microorganism has been established ) and fast-tracked vaccines that ignore proper procedures , while denying the fact that no vaccine has been proven to be safe and/or effective .
These individuals support a mandatory vaccine after “ time-limited trial of voluntary vaccine provision has proved unsuccessful.
” And , who determines the amount of time that would be and what would be considered “ unsuccessful ” – those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ science and scientific malpractice ?
If this was not enough , these individuals suggest that States should exact penalties against those who refuse to be vaccinated with this poisonous soup no one knows what is in it much less what illness the vaccination is designed to prevent .
Instead of fines or criminal penalties , these individuals suggest denying individuals who refuse the vaccination the ability to work and/or placing vaccine refusers under house arrest .
Their rejection of fines and criminal penalties are two-fold – disadvantaging the poor through fines and invitation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with criminal penalties .
Getting the picture ?
These individuals advocate for stripping individuals of their God-given individual unalienable rights through medical tyranny involving forced house arrest for non-compliant individuals with a mandate no government or government entity has the authority to issue .
They are cleverly trying to provide a “ work around ” to the right to due process through medical dictates despite the fact that everyone has the right to choose or deny any medical treatment whatsoever .
And in their last sentiments , these unethical tyranny supporting individuals have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trust ” .
The need to build public trust requires that state officials implement vaccination policy through a transparent and inclusive process , working closely with stakeholder groups such as local health officers , health professional and hospital associations , representatives of high-risk population groups , and groups concerned about vaccine safety .
States ’ experience with HPV vaccination mandates offers another process tip : vaccine manufacturers should stay on the sidelines .
The HPV vaccine manufacturer ’ s direct involvement in crafting and lobbying for mandate legislation raised suspicion that profit rather @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proposals , undercutting support for vaccination even without a mandatory regime.5 As with social distancing orders , we can expect that the advent of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will spark intense clashes of feeling about what people owe to one another in the fight against the pandemic .
In contrast to earlier phases of the pandemic , though , we currently have some time on our side .
Careful deliberation now about state vaccination policy can help ensure that we have a strategy when the breakthrough comes .
This is not a conspiracy theory ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the New England Journal of Medicine authored by unethical medical science tyrants .
Take note of who these tyrants are looking toward to gain “ public trust ” – local health officials , health professionals and hospital associations , representatives of high-risk population groups , and groups concerned about vaccine safety .
In other words , secure the support of these types of “ groups ” and get those groups to send the propaganda to “ their people ” who will then push it upon their patients and communities .
While doing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ garbage to the sidelines to avoid raising suspicion of gaining profit over “ public health motives ” .
Fortunately , Bill Gates has already stepped forward to declare he will profit from this to the tune of $ 200 BILLION dollars from a $ 10 BILLION dollar investment .
That should be enough to raise suspicion considering Gates contended that with a proper vaccine initiative the world ’ s population could be reduced by 10 to 15 percent .
Moreover , “ Daddy ” Gates , who recently died , headed Planned Parenthood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for years and was a well-known eugenicist .
The CDC has come clean on CON-VID-19 as reported by Ron Paul , with the audio being broadcast by Bradlee Dean on The Sons of Liberty radio show .
The overall survival rate from CON-VID-19 is 99.94 % .
The supposed microorganism causing this “ Con ” coronavirus has never been isolated and likely never will .
The vaccines being developed uses mRNA technology that has the potential to rewrite human DNA and may contain tracking biochips , nanobots , and other technology that will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ send and receive information , possibly alter brain patterns and a host of other “ intended ” consequences that no one will be informed about until afterward .
Article after article is available on The Sons of Liberty Media containing accurate information on CON-VID-19 , as well as a host of videos on various platforms by reputable doctors such as Dr. Carrie Modej , Dr. Andrew Kaufman , and dozens of others who are risking everything to inform the public of the truth .
As they say , “ you can lead a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t make it drink ” .
It ’ s been outlined for you .
It ’ s been detailed for you .
It is up to you to avail yourself of the information to be fully informed .
The plan is being put in place to “ coerce ” your compliance .
In other words , a conspiracy is at foot against the American people to ensure the demise of your liberty and freedom .
It is not a theory , but a fact .
If they can ’ t “ coerce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forced through various measures – medical tyranny , as indicated here , food shortages , “ house arrests ” , denial of work , denial of services , street rioting and violence , neighbor exposing neighbor , friend against friend , family against family , and other governmental tyranny .
Take is as you will or don ’ t .
These people are desperate to initiate the global government , a “ new world order ” , and will stop at nothing to do it .
And , desperate times call for desperate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feel the pain of various measures that will be unleashed against them , the desperate fearful public will engage in any action that will appear to ease their suffering only to find their suffering increases , which will perpetuate a cycle culminating in total submission and a breaking of will .
The tyranny clock is now set at one minute to midnight .
The alarm went off some time back .
Wake up now and prepare to resist or be resigned to live as a people without freedom or liberty .
As the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t know what you have until it ’ s gone ; they paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

One option for increasing vaccine uptake is to require it. Mandatory vaccination has proven effective in ensuring high childhood immunization rates in many high-income countries. However, except for influenza vaccination of health care workers, mandates have not been widely used for adults.
The authors – Mello, Silverman, and Omer, acknowledge a vaccine may be some time in the making; however, they urge developing a policy strategy framework to ensure uptake of the vaccine, which is where “mandates” come into play. These individuals’ recommendations are guided by “lessons from U.S. experiences with vaccines for the 1976 “swine flu,” H1N1 influenza, smallpox, and human papillomavirus (HPV).” If you know anything about the human papillomavirus vaccine Gardasil, it was rushed into production, sidestepping many safeguards, and resulted in substantial injury to recipients. Gardasil is the measuring stick for the rushed CON-VID-19 vaccine.
Their mandatory vaccine campaign article continues:
We believe that six substantive criteria should be met before a state imposes a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine mandate (see box).

There should be a reasonable indication as to whether further measures are needed.
The six criteria are:
Covid-19 is not adequately contained in the state.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recommended vaccination for the groups for which a mandate is being considered.
The supply of vaccine is sufficient to cover the population groups for which a mandate is being considered.
Available evidence about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine has been transparently communicated.
The state has created infrastructure to provide access to vaccination without financial or logistic barriers, compensation to workers who have adverse effects from a required vaccine, and real-time surveillance of vaccine side effects.
In a time-limited evaluation, voluntary uptake of the vaccine among high-priority groups has fallen short of the level required to prevent epidemic spread.
In the second criteria, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has to recommend vaccination for persons “who would be covered by a mandate”, AFTER the committee reviewed the safety and efficacy reports. Where are these safety and efficacy reports originating – the pharmaceutical company, the Food and Drug Administration, etc.?

Those who the ACIP recommends a mandate would be groups like health care workers, nursing home patients, high-risk elderly, prison inmates, the military, and dormitory residents.

They go on to malign the observational evidence of Hydroxychloroquine against this type of influenza that cannot be contributed to any “new” microorganism because the microorganism has not been isolated. These individuals who are to base recommendations on science ignore the established, gold standard science in favor of short cut methods ignoring Koch’s and Rivers’ postulates, “viral loads” (which has not been discussed because no proof of a microorganism has been established) and fast-tracked vaccines that ignore proper procedures, while denying the fact that no vaccine has been proven to be safe and/or effective.

This is not a conspiracy theory; it is straight from a commentary appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine authored by unethical medical science tyrants.

Quite possibly it’s to ramp up for the vaccines that the Trump administration unconstitutionally spent billions of the American people’s money for that most people do not want in the first place and that is a public health threat all by itself. Still, a former Pfizer executive has destroyed the lying media and politicians’ narrative and told the American people the truth.
Ethan Huff at Natural News has the story.
(Natural News) Despite claims by Anthony Fauci and others that Americans should brace for a “second wave” of the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19), former Pfizer Chief Science Officer Dr. Mike Yeadon says this is nothing but fear-mongering based on junk science and fraud.
A former vice president at the pharmaceutical giant, Dr. Yeadon claims that “almost all” of the tests being conducted for the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19) are “false positives,” a phenomenon that has already been observed in Florida. Dr. Yeadon also says that “there is no science to suggest a second wave should happen.”
Any “second wave” that comes along is completely manufactured based on fake “new cases,” Dr. Yeadon is further quoted as saying, responding in the affirmative when asked if “we are basing a government policy, an economic policy, a civil liberties policy, in terms of limiting people to six persons in a meeting … all based on what may well be completely fake data.”

Be sure to check out the following video from Brighteon.com in which Dr. Yeadon talks to interviewer Julia Hartley-Brewer about the truth concerning the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19) plandemic:

Dr. Yeadon published a paper suggesting that the “curve” was “flattened” months ago
Earlier this month, Dr. Yeadon and his colleagues published a paper they co-authored about the so-called “pandemic.” Entitled, “How Likely is a Second Wave?” this paper explains that most of the deaths associated with the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19) occurred back in March and April, and quickly tapered off in the months that followed.
By April, most countries, including the U.S., had successfully “flattened the curve,” though increased testing, most of which is fraudulent, continues to report new “cases” that those in favor of continued pandemic restrictions are using as “evidence” to push for endless mask-wearing, physical distancing and in some cases, lockdowns.
“It has widely been observed that in all heavily infected countries in Europe and several of the U.S. states likewise, that the shape of the daily deaths vs. time curves is similar to ours in the U.K.,” this paper reveals. “Many of these curves are not just similar, but almost super imposable.”
This is further reflected in the latest survival figures, which since the month of May have risen to 99.8 percent of infections – meaning only 0.2 percent of people who test positive for the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19) end up dying at some point after being “diagnosed.”
This 99.8 percent survival rate is significantly higher than the one proposed by Fauci back in March and April when he falsely claimed that upwards of 6 percent of Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19) patients would die from the virus – meaning Fauci incorrectly claimed that the novel virus was 20 to 30 times more deadly than it actually is.
“The Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) value accepted by Yeadon et al in the paper is .26%,” writes Ralph Lopez for HubPages. “The survival rate of a disease is 100% minus the IFR.”
Concerning the allegedly “novel” nature of the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19), Dr. Yeadon claims that it is only novel in the sense that it is a new type of coronavirus. As it turns out, there are many other types of coronaviruses in existence, including four other strains that are freely circulating throughout the population as you read this.
“They all have striking sequence similarity to the new coronavirus,” Dr. Yeadon points out in his paper, offering a different perspective that is rarely, if ever, mentioned by the mainstream media.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-04--Despite Trump’s Boast, Insulin in America Among the Most Expensive Liquids on Earth

Editor ’ s Note : The only place it seems that costs were slashed is if a person is dependent upon socialized American government medicine through Medicare , and basically that ’ s because it is subsidized by fellow Americans .
The New York Post reported , “ The deal struck with the nation ’ s insulin manufacturers and health care providers will limit the co-pay for a month ’ s supply of insulin to $ 35 — a 66 percent reduction to current costs , White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said .
The initiative will apply to the 1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which is approximately 3 million people.
” So , if you ’ re not on the government dole , those cost cuts don ’ t really apply to you .
One of Trump ’ s more questionable claims he made at the now infamous first presidential debate was that he was driving down medical costs for ordinary Americans .
Under his presidency , the 74-year-old New Yorker claimed , diabetes medicine insulin had gone from so expensive that it was “ destroying families ” to “ so cheap it ’ s like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” he added .
Trump had indeed signed an executive order on insulin in July .
But the scope of the new legislation was extremely limited , targeting only a small group of health care providers and benefitting only two percent of the relevant outlets for insulin .
In reality , insulin prices have tripled in the last decade , rising to new exorbitant highs not seen anywhere else in the world .
A 10ml vial of insulin from Novo Nordisk or Eli Lilly , for example , costs Americans $ 290 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chanel No .
5 and scorpion venom as among the most expensive liquids in the world .
Over 10 percent of the American population is diabetic , including over a quarter of all senior citizens , and the disease is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States .
The condition is particularly prevalent among people of color .

Editor’s Note: The only place it seems that costs were slashed is if a person is dependent upon socialized American government medicine through Medicare, and basically that’s because it is subsidized by fellow Americans. The New York Post reported, “The deal struck with the nation’s insulin manufacturers and health care providers will limit the co-pay for a month’s supply of insulin to $35 — a 66 percent reduction to current costs, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said. The initiative will apply to the 1 in 3 Medicare enrollees who have diabetes, which is approximately 3 million people.” So, if you’re not on the government dole, those cost cuts don’t really apply to you.
One of Trump’s more questionable claims he made at the now infamous first presidential debate was that he was driving down medical costs for ordinary Americans. Under his presidency, the 74-year-old New Yorker claimed, diabetes medicine insulin had gone from so expensive that it was “destroying families” to “so cheap it’s like water.” “This is big stuff,” he added.
Trump had indeed signed an executive order on insulin in July. But the scope of the new legislation was extremely limited, targeting only a small group of health care providers and benefitting only two percent of the relevant outlets for insulin. In reality, insulin prices have tripled in the last decade, rising to new exorbitant highs not seen anywhere else in the world. A 10ml vial of insulin from Novo Nordisk or Eli Lilly, for example, costs Americans $290, ranking them alongside the likes of Chanel No. 5 and scorpion venom as among the most expensive liquids in the world.
Over 10 percent of the American population is diabetic, including over a quarter of all senior citizens, and the disease is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. The condition is particularly prevalent among people of color. Once insulin is injected into the body, a patient is on the medicine for life, as we lose the ability to naturally produce the protein hormone ourselves. Thus, big pharmaceutical companies have the perfect captive market: millions of repeat customers whose lives literally depend on accessing their product. And in a profit-driven healthcare market, they have taken advantage of their customers’ desperation, hence the price (something which is not seen in virtually any other country, given the United States’ unique approach to healthcare in the developed world). Thus, American diabetics must find thousands of dollars monthly to pay for the liquid.

This is not an easy, or even possible, task for many Americans. Research shows that one in four ration their insulin due to its cost, risking entering a diabetic coma and dying. Reusing costly needles is also commonplace. Turning 26 (the age where you are no longer eligible on your parents’ health plans) is a grizzly right of passage for young diabetics, and the milestone can literally be a death sentence. Last year 27-year-old Josh Wilkerson died on the job at a Virginian dog kennel, his blood sugar level 17 times higher than normal. He had stopped using his prescribed insulin at 26, switching to an inferior generic.
So common and normalized is the practice of dangerous self medication that an ESPN feature on a champion MMA fighter casually noted — in the 17th paragraph — that he could not afford insulin when fighting as an amateur, so he injected himself with dog insulin as a substitute. A similar phenomenon occurs whereby Americans forego costly antibiotics in favor of consuming those meant for fish instead, sold at a much cheaper price. Amazon reviews for the product made clear in an oblique way that users are ingesting them themselves. So goes the dysfunctional American healthcare system.

Former CIA agent and whistleblower Kevin Shipp was targeted by the CIA when he blew the whistle on them alleging that it had placed them in a mold-contaminated home that made them sick and required nearly all their possessions to be destroyed .

This may have been because both candidates support infringements on the Second Amendment .
Joe Biden was chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee when it passed gun control measures like the assault weapons ban and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not only banned bump stocks by executive order , which President Obama refused to do because his Attorney General correctly determined that the President lacks the authority to do so , but has enthusiastically endorsed “ red flag ” laws .

One topic that did not come up was gun control. This may have been because both candidates support infringements on the Second Amendment. Joe Biden was chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee when it passed gun control measures like the assault weapons ban and the “Brady Bill.” President Trump has not only banned bump stocks by executive order, which President Obama refused to do because his Attorney General correctly determined that the President lacks the authority to do so, but has enthusiastically endorsed “red flag” laws.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-05--The Absurdity of Pseudo COVID “Cases”

The Absurdity of Pseudo COVID “Cases”

The impact of the propaganda from the alleged “ number of COVID cases ” around the world , which doesn ’ t really mean anything at all considering they have never isolated the alleged “ virus ” in the first place to the propaganda stories about President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump having COVID to 19,000 Amazon workers getting COVID on the job are quite telling that people actually believe the lies they are being sold day in and day out in order to get them to give up their essential liberty for the illusion , and yes that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and security .

The impact of the propaganda from the alleged “number of COVID cases” around the world, which doesn’t really mean anything at all considering they have never isolated the alleged “virus” in the first place to the propaganda stories about President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump having COVID to 19,000 Amazon workers getting COVID on the job are quite telling that people actually believe the lies they are being sold day in and day out in order to get them to give up their essential liberty for the illusion, and yes that is what it is, of safety and security. Yet, people around the world, and sadly, many in America are all to willing to do it because such and such said it was true or the lying mainstream media that virtually everyone says they don’t believe says it is true.

We still don’t know how many of the reported two hundred thousand US covid-19 deaths were actually caused by the SARS-CoV-2 respiratory disease, or simply reflect people who died of other causes after exposure to covid-19. We do know that the harms caused by the lockdowns far outweigh the harms posed by the covid-19 virus.
We have had nearly eight months of life and liberty stolen from us by politicians and their hysteria-promoting accomplices in media. How much more will we accept?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-05--Reporters Claim Facebook is Censoring Information on Julian Assange Case

Craig Murray , the former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and longtime confidant of Julian Assange , has been fastidiously reporting on the Australian publisher ’ s extradition hearing to the United States .
Yet few people have been reading it .
This , according to Murray , is because of a deliberate decision by online media giants to downplay or suppress discussion of the case .
On his blog , Murray wrote that he usually receives around 50 percent of his readers from Twitter and 40 percent from Facebook links , but that has dropped to 3 percent and 9 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While the February hearings sent around 200,000 readers to his site daily , now that figure is only 3,000 .

The court system has also blocked human rights groups @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proceedings .
Still , considering the implications for the future of journalism , the lack of coverage might surprise some .
The New York Times , the flagship outlet of American print media ( and a Wikileaks partner ) printed only two articles on the subject and has not mentioned Assange in over two weeks .

“90% of my traffic has just been cut off by what seems to be a general algorithm command of some kind to downplay Assange.” “I think it is as simple as that.”
Craig Murray, the former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and longtime confidant of Julian Assange, has been fastidiously reporting on the Australian publisher’s extradition hearing to the United States. Yet few people have been reading it. This, according to Murray, is because of a deliberate decision by online media giants to downplay or suppress discussion of the case. On his blog, Murray wrote that he usually receives around 50 percent of his readers from Twitter and 40 percent from Facebook links, but that has dropped to 3 percent and 9 percent, respectively during the hearing. While the February hearings sent around 200,000 readers to his site daily, now that figure is only 3,000.
To be plain that is very much less than my normal daily traffic from them just in ordinary times. It is the insidious nature of this censorship that is especially sinister – people believe they have successfully shared my articles on Twitter and Facebook, while those corporations hide from them that in fact it went into nobody’s timeline,” he added.
Asked about the situation by former New York Times reporter Chris Hedges, Murray explained that
Anybody who is at all radical or takes any view of anything that is outwith the official establishment view gets used to occasional shadow banning, but I have never seen anything on this scale before.”
“90% of my traffic has just been cut off by what seems to be a general algorithm command of some kind to downplay Assange,” he added. “I think it is as simple as that.”

There has been considerable public interest in the court proceedings, but very little mainstream attention given to them. To be fair, British authorities have made it inordinately difficult to cover the case, allowing only a small handful of journalists into the Old Bailey court system, where they can watch a live television link up but cannot bring in recording devices. An online stream can only be watched if one registers and signs in between exactly 9:30 and 9:40 a.m., and if they suffer even a momentary lapse in wifi connection, they are shut out of the session. The court system has also blocked human rights groups, including Amnesty International, from monitoring proceedings.
Still, considering the implications for the future of journalism, the lack of coverage might surprise some. The New York Times, the flagship outlet of American print media (and a Wikileaks partner) printed only two articles on the subject and has not mentioned Assange in over two weeks. Its broadcast journalism equivalent CNN, meanwhile, has not touched the issue at all.
Online media creators have, for many years, lived with the threat of algorithmic suppression or demonetization of content on sensitive or controversial issues. YouTube regularly cuts all advertising on videos on the Syrian Civil War, fracking, or other topics on which advertisers might not wish to promote scrutiny. Even airsoft and paintball enthusiasts have learned not to use words like “shoot” and “gun” in their titles, lest the platform demonetizes their content.
Perhaps more alarmingly, however, Silicon Valley tech giants are becoming increasingly closely intertwined with the state department, to the point where it is often difficult to tell where one ends, and another begins. “What Lockheed Martin was to the twentieth century…technology and cyber-security companies [like Google] will be to the twenty-first,” wrote Google executives Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen in their book, “The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business.” For example, Facebook is now in a close partnership with the Atlantic Council, who essentially decides for them what content to promote in people’s news feeds and what content is discarded as fake news, misinformation, or low quality. The problem is that the Atlantic Council is a NATO cutout, and a government-funded organization whose board of directors is a who’s who of deep state officials, including virtually every living ex-C.I.A. director, Bush-era cabinet members like Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell, and military generals like Wesley Clark and David Petraeus. Thus, an organization like this deciding what the world sees on their screens is barely one step removed from total government control of the flow of information.
The U.S. government also frequently directly interferes with content appearing on prominent social media. Earlier this year, Facebook announced that it would remove all comments or posts in praise of recently-slain Iranian General Qassem Soleimani from all its platforms. This was done to comply with the Trump administration’s designation of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (which Soleimani led) as a terrorist organization. The problem is that Soleimani was Iran’s most popular political figure, with an over 80 percent approval rating, and that Instagram is used by around one-third of the entire Iranian population. Thus, Iranians speaking in their local language were barred from sharing a majority opinion with their country folk because of a decision by Donald Trump.
The Middle East is a particularly contentious area of the world. Yet when news broke that the British Army’s online psychological operations brigade had managed to become a senior Twitter executive, responsible for Middle Eastern content, media largely ignored it, raising even more questions. Algorithm changes have also hammered independent alternative media outlets — often precisely the ones most likely to cover the Assange case — drastically reducing their search engine traffic flow.
Former C.I.A. chief Leon Panetta (an honorary director of the Atlantic Council) recently admitted that Assange is being prosecuted as a warning to journalists. “All you can do is hope that you can ultimately take action against those that were involved in revealing that information so you can send a message to others not to do the same thing,” he told a German documentary crew.
