Journalism in Crisis—The War on Dissent

Whitney Webb reports:

“With each passing day, it seems that Journalism is becoming less of a profession and more of a war zone. Indeed, the difference between journalism and ‘information warfare’ is becoming increasingly difficult to pinpoint.

Whereas journalism continues to be defined as ‘writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation’ – in practice, it has become a battlefield where the most powerful media outlets – that is, those closest to the centers of power – deliberately manipulate or omit facts to craft narratives that expressly benefit the powerful while also colluding to censor their more truthful competition. These media outlets act as mercenaries, with little or no regard for how their actions negatively impact our society and distort reality. Their allegiances lie not with the public, but with those with the deepest pockets.

In doing so, in many cases these media mercenaries actively work to suppress the facts and malign those in journalism who do strive to champion the truth above all else. Instead of holding the powerful to account, many so-called journalists today act more as accessories to the crimes committed by the powerful against the public.

Objective presentation of the facts, as far as the bulk of mainstream media is concerned, is dead and has been dead for some time. As a consequence, public trust in these media outlets has completely cratered. Yet, even the ostensible challenge to mainstream media, so-called independent or alternative media, is often troubled by similar issues, as the quest for clicks and fame can often supersede objective, factual reporting even outside the bounds of mainstream media. As a result, navigating the world of journalism has never been more difficult or more precarious than it is right now.

But if some get their way, navigating the media landscape in search of truth will soon become impossible. There are major efforts, years in the making, to censor dissenting opinions under the guise of censoring ‘misinformation.’ As many readers are undoubtedly aware, what was last year’s ‘misinformation’ with respect to COVID-19 injections has only recently undergone a dramatic change into ‘breaking news.’ Yet, many of us who were right all along and were censored when factual information that is now recognized as true was erroneously labeled ‘misinformation,’ have received no apologies or compensation from our lost income. In many cases, our old platforms have not been returned to us. The censorship hammer has not been wielded with incompetence, instead it has been and is being intentionally used to squeeze out those of us who would dare to speak the truth, no matter how inconvenient it may be at the time.

As the online censorship onslaught continues, it is becoming increasingly normalized. Growing restrictions, de-platforming and its other manifestations have become so pervasive that many have simply come to accept it as a ‘new normal.’ This ‘new normal’ for free speech is as insidious as it has been gradual, as we are being trained to accept unconstitutional limitations on what we can express on the websites that dominate online socialization.”

The Real Origins of COVID-19 and the Continuing Government & Deep State Cover Up

OCA’s U.S. Political Director, Alexis Baden-Mayer, has become a leading researcher, writer, and podcaster on the origins of COVID-19 and the machinations of Military-Big Pharma industrial complex that lie at the root of recent outbreaks and bioweapon releases (Lyme’s Disease, Anthrax, Ebola) as well as the recent COVID “plandemic.”

As Alexis writes on Substack:

“Personally, I’ve come to the conclusion that SARS-CoV-2 is a bioweapon.

I believe it was developed and released by people who make use of governments but aren’t especially patriotic. They might be paid by their countries, but they don’t really work for them. They work for the interests of corporations and billionaires.

They work within structures that took power in the U.S. and around the world in dozens of CIA coups, including the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Their objective is to inject us, not only with liability-free vaccines paid for by the taxpayers, but ultimately with implanted surveillance chips that serve as IDs, credit cards and keys in the brave new world of Central Bank Digital Currencies and social credit systems.

Just like 9/11 and the 2001 anthrax attacks were false flag operations that paved the way to domestic police states and global war, the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns and mandates were designed to push us into the Great Reset.

The corporate-controlled media wants us to see the origin of COVID as either a natural “spillover” from an animal “reservoir” or a lab “accident.” They want us to lay responsibility for its release either on China or the U.S.

This would makes perfect sense if you’d never heard of Event 201, [in October 2019] where George Gao [head of China’s Center for Disease Control] and Avril Haines [former Deputy Director of the U.S. CIA] sat side-by-side rehearsing the Plandemic. Or, if you didn’t know anything about the history of the U.S. biological weapons program.

But, there’s no reason to assume that North Carolina Senator Richard Burr or his Senate Committee on Health Education, Labor and Pensions Minority Oversight Staff, authors of “An Analysis of the Origins of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Interim Report” are that ignorant. Burr, recently the subject of a COVID-related insider trading investigation, is the in-the-know type. Did he agree to help craft a white-washed official story in exchange for the government closing its inquiry without filing any charges?

Whatever Burr’s motivation, his analysis of COVID origins fails to mention key people, places and things. Here’s what’s missing in the recent Republican Congressional Minority Oversight Staff Report on COVID-19:

(1) Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill;

(2) The Fauci-Farr cover-up, intended to hide evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was genetically engineered;

(3) How U.S. funding contributed to the origin of COVID-19;

(4) U.S. doctors, scientists, military personnel and citizens who were in Wuhan in the second half 2019;

(5) Fort Detrick, the largest U.S. biological weapons facility, shut down [over safety concerns] in [August of] 2019;

(6) The full results of the 2021 Intelligence Community investigation into the origins of COVID-19 and more.
