The New McCarthyism: Trump’s War on Independent Journalism Has Been Launched
Paul Craig Roberts
The Zionist-dominated Trump regime has come up with a new enemy–“far left terrorism” to campaign against in order to draw attention away from rising awareness of Israel’s sway over Washington.
The first victim–Breakthrough News–has received a Department of Justice subpoena.
I took a look at the Breakthrough News website. It seems that “far left terrorism” amounts to reporting news that the elite don’t permit the whore media to report. Have a look yourself and see what you think: https://breakthroughnews.org/
In 1975 Congress abolished the remains of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. It seems to be the House tax committee, Ways and Means, that has launched the attack on Breakthrough News with demands for the website’s internal communications and financial records, which suggests that the attack on Breakthrough News will be an IRS issue. Will the claim be that Breakthrough News is a front organization for Cuba or Iran or Hamas? Perhaps the Chinese?
What is clear is that Republicans on the House Ways & Means Committee comprise a front organization for the Israel Lobby. The website “Useful Idiots” lists 9 Republicans on the committee who together have been paid $2,758,953 in “campaign contributions.”
Interviewed by Useful Idiots, Breakthrough News’ Rania Khalek makes some interesting points. She says that the purpose of the “investigation” is not to find evidence or to prove the website did something wrong for which it can be punished. She said that it is the process that is the punishment and that Breakthrough News will be punished by the process of investigation regardless of whether evidence of wrongdoing is found.
She said “They don’t actually need to prove that we’ve done anything wrong, they don’t really even need to win. They can’t win because we haven’t done anything, but they just need to bury us in legal proceedings and hostile press from Fox News until our resources drain away and the reporting stops. That’s what these kinds of attacks are all about.” https://www.usefulidiotspodcast.com/p/the-war-on-independent-journalism?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=304318&post_id=208749065&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=10r3uc&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
The investigative process is designed to shut down the website regardless of the facts. This is how black NY Attorney General Letitia James destroyed the immigration website Vdare.
Those of us who had hopes that President Trump would lead us back from the precipice that the Democrats had us on are disappointed that instead he has adopted the Democrat’s corrupt methods and is leading us over the precipice.
