Jimmy Dore about censorship

"And that's why they have to do censorship. And that's why they just banned Twitter or X in Brazil and Telegram and to rub rumble. And that's what the same thing they did to Julian Assange. They weren't, they didn't put Julian Assange in prison because he was spreading misinformation and lies. You get in trouble for telling the truth. I tell people this all the time. Tucker Carlson didn't get fired for lying. He got fired when he was lying, repeating the lies about the Iraq war They gave him his own show on CNN and then I gave him his own show on MSNBC Then they gave him his own show on Fox It was when he started to tell the truth about Ukraine Russiagate and then he told the truth and brought on Bobby Kenny to tell truth about covid and vaccines That was the last drop so you don't get in trouble in this oligarchy for lying you get promoted Rachel Maddow did Russia gate for seven straight years she got a 30 million dollar contract that's a hundred thousand dollars a day she gets paid for lying and that's and that's because she's doing the service and the bidding of the war machine so I know I keep missing things but they actually do go together and that's what censorship is all about because if they can't control the narrative then they lose and then they have to start disappearing people and they'll do that too, but it's a lot harder for them. And let's remember where censorship started. It started with Alex Jones, some guy that they could make everybody hate, very easy to hate. And I would, so I spoke out against that, even though Alex Jones and I had a very contentious relationship, I knew that as goes Alex Jones, as goes me.
And I wasn't stupid. People go, why are you defending Alex Jones? I'm not defending Alex Jones. I'm defending the first amendment and my right to use the first amendment. If you can take it away from him, you can take it away from it. So they said, hey, we're just gonna start with Alex Jones. And guess where it led to? Within a couple of years, it led to the leading journalists being censored, the leading doctors, the leading scientists, and finally the president of the United States got censored. So that's, so if they can do that to them, they can do it to anybody. And that's why you have to stand up against censorship in any form."
