10 topics the mainstream media block all discussion about

Tucker Carlson says that in modern journalism “curiosity is the greatest crime” – here are ten stories that the western corporate media are proactively not interested in / supressing because they are not journalists of principle at all – but propagandists for profit.

(1) Nord Stream 2:

The deafening lack of interest into who blew up a critical multi-billion undersea gas pipeline pivots around NOT asking (a) who had the most to benefit? and (b) who had the means? The answer to both of those questions is the USA which is why such questions are not asked – much less investigated.

The matter was investigated by Seymour Hirsch one of the world’s most celebrated investigative journalists who provided a detailed answer to both questions – answers which were 100% ignored by the entirety of the corporate media who now dismiss Hirsch as a ‘blogger’.

This at least is certainly true, not because he is any kind of crank as they imply but because he is blacklisted by every major news outlet and his stories rejected out of hand.

This is because their heterodox content is taboo, because Hirsch is an actual specialist with many informants within the U.S intelligence community and mostly because Hirsch is an actual journalist who speaks truth to power. I

If you want to see bloggers then head over to The Guardian and watch a rota of so called ‘journalists’ copy and paste propaganda updates from various western intelligence agencies all day long.

(2) The Bidens and Ukraine

Hunter Biden’s laptop contains damning evidence that he peddled access to his father for cash to dozens of foreign agents including a goodly number from Ukraine, it is perfectly obvious if one chooses to look that he has been laundering that money through the kind of banal schemes that a crackhead like Hunter would dream up.

But Hunter has just been given a deal so sweet from the U.S. justice department that it is more a love letter than a judgement. The silence about the grotesque corruption of the Biden’s, what their relationship is with Ukrainian politicians, what ‘investments’ the Bidens have in Ukraine and how that might be influencing their conduct of the west’s proxy war in Ukraine is damning – if predictable.

(3) Corruption in Ukraine:

The western media were happy to report on the endemic corruption of this nation before the arrival of a NATO / EU friendly stooge in Zelensky but are very quiet about it now. Hundreds of billions of pounds have been sent to Ukraine and gone goodness knows where. Brave Ukrainian soldiers still report a lack of ammunition, equipment and training on the ground and also the grift of officers within the Ukrainian military. Where has all the money gone – nobody seems to care and the EU / ERB / IMF vultures are now circling with loan agreements in hand to ensure that ordinary Ukrainian people will have to pay the price.

(4) Ukrainian casualties in the current conflict.

While the BBC runs a dedicated page tracking Russian war graves, the corporate media hides the horror of bloody Ukrainian losses behind a wall of silence and carefully selected war porn pictures.

(5) Israeli war crimes.

While the media froth with righteous fury about the illegal invasion and occupation of Ukraine by Russia and fall over themselves to amplify each and every accusation from the west of Russian war crimes… they having nothing to say about the illegal invasion and occupation of Palestine, the ethnic cleansing and the war crimes which are a daily fact of life for long suffering Palestinian men, women and children. All criticism of this disgraceful double standard is deemed anti-Semitic.

(6) American military power, regime change attempts, economic imperialism.

The mainstream media love to talk up ‘threats’ like Russia, China, Iran, North Korea but are oddly silent about the sprawling menace of the worlds largest military spenders (by far) and their 800 military bases, black-ops torture centres, invasive spy networks, regime change meddling and thinly veiled threats. Oddly uncurious as to how nations not in the western club might legitimately view the USA as the world’s biggest threat.

(7) Julian Assange.

Not only are outlets like The Guardian uninterested in the plight of whistleblower Julian Assange they are actively hostile and happy to amplify the trumped up charges against him and to blacklist those who even mention his name. Its easy to see why, for Julian does what they should be doing – holding power to account via truth telling and he shows them up for the shills that they are.

(8) Media ownership and control.

The corporate media are oddly un-interested in investigating the ownership and control of the corporate media. Perhaps a starting point might be to reflect on the dangers of having all global media organisations owned by a handful of billionaire oligarchs and infested with agents of the governments they are supposed to be holding to account.

(9) The revolving door.

No contemporary churnalist is interested in the very cosy relationship between wealth, power and the media – this is because their job depends on them not asking and because of the revolving door between the media, politics and corporate power. You aren’t going to investigate the people you hope to work for tomorrow, people you share dinner parties and holiday villas with. It just isn’t done.

(10) Climate change, bio-diversity loss, nuclear war and the future.

The corporate media doesn’t have any interest in the future or the past – it just lives in an endlessly reinvented now in which the onrushing genuine threat of our total extinction has no roots in the past sins of corporate power, no link to the ongoing failure of the mainstream media to hold corporate power to account and no bearing on what life might be like in 30 years time. There is only the now – the latest set of GDP figures, the stock market, the latest gadgets and resort reviews. It doesn’t advance one’s career in journalism as a corporate water carrier to even think about such things – much less sound the alarm that no-one is at the wheel and we are plunging over a cliff.

Since 2013 I have worked on this Ad-Free site: trying to give a voice to those without the power or agency to speak out for themselves and speaking simple truths that well paid journalists in the corporate media dare not utter.

I am a home schooling parent on a low income – paying for the domain, web hosting and security entirely out of my own pocket.  

If you find this website useful and could spare us a few shillings to help keep our lights on, it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in solidarity with all our readers. John Lynch, Editor.
