The aggressiveness with which the state is censoring and shutting down access to dissent is petrifying. Already it's difficult to see anything other than the darkness of an iron curtain coming down, surrounding us.

Again Sam, thank you so much for your commitment to honest reportage. Since the Reagan administration relaxed laws allowing media mergers and that was exacerbated by Clinton and the GW Bush during his terms in the White House, independent news has been strangled to at best a trickle. We have anti-monopoly laws on the books dating back to the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 which is a federal statute prohibiting activities that restrict interstate commerce and competition in the marketplace. It outlaws any contract, conspiracy, or combination of business interests in restraint of foreign or interstate trade. It needs to be applied to governmental coercion.
