Journalism in Europe on Life Support

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 04, 2024

THIS week we've done a lot of coverage - or merely relayed coverage - that the mainstream (corporate) media would not. It was about Julian Assange in France and it focused on his public appearances in political echelons over there. Assange articulated some of the ordeals he went through ("ordeals" is an understatement; they wanted to kill him) and we're hoping to see him giving more talks on the issue, even if the "mass media" looks the other way and pretends it never heard of this man or that he's some "Russian stooge" or "Trump supporter" or whatever.

Seeing how the European media has handled EPO crimes (yes, white-collar crimes and corruption that crosses over to the EU), it's clear that this problem is unresolved. A lot of self-professed "professional journalists" participate in the crimes or cover up the crimes. This is not OK. As a result we now have fake (illegal and unconstitutional) patent "courts" in the EU, complementing a totally corrupt patent office that bribes critics, bribes the media, bribes academia (even in the United States), and pays several law firms to blackmail me into silence. Yes, it pays law firms to attack the person who highlights the crimes, in order to cover up the crimes. So much for "law"...

What has happened to Europe? Making fun of the Kremlin is all good... but make sure you're not swimming in a vast pool of hypocrisy and double-standards. █
