Censorship Prohibits Spreading Truths, And Demands Spreading Lies
Back in or around 2014, 43 international-news media were publishing my articles, and some of them were mainstream liberal media, some were mainstream conservative, and others were libertarian, but the vast majority were non-mainstream.
