The Strange Demise of the American Herald Tribune — Philip Giraldi

Censorship watch. 

Philip Giraldi credentials are impeccable as are those of and other dissident former intelligence officers like Ray McGovern and former diplomats like Craig Murray. The notion that they are Russian bots or dupes is preposterous. 

Giraldi was also marginalized — ostracized really — on the grounds of being antisemitic for criticizing US Israeli policy and relations and the US Israel lobby, which is nonsense. This is a matter of politics and policy — "Zionism" as  Israeli domination of its region and its treatment of Palestinians — rather than on the basis of ethnicity or religion. 

Why do these people publish on their own blogs and "non-acceptable" venues that are excluded from popular social media sites? They have no good alternative beyond the reach of those attempting to control the narrative.
