Patterned Silence

"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows"
--Simon & Garfunkel

Glenn Greenwald discusses the near universal censorship of 'skeptical' info w.r.t. the Ukraine situation. Anything that does not jibe with the party line--the parties being the United States, EU, NATO, or Ukraine--is being silenced. 

The question is why. Why must any view that counters the mainstream about a remote skirmish in Eastern Europe be buried? After all, there were plenty of skirmishes in this region prior to Russia's recent campaign--many of them inside Ukraine.

Greenwald suggests that it's primarily because it is to the military industrial complex's benefit. 

That's part of it, sure. But there's likely more--probably much more. 

Broad censoring programs were in force, and seemingly growing, prior to the Ukraine conflict. They included the silencing of dissent and 'disinformation' related to:

Clinton campaign corruption

Trump/Russia

Black Lives Matter protests

CV19 policy

2020 election corruption

Who is on the silencing side of all of these campaigns? Who is getting silenced?

The patterns point to why.
