\u201cAnd when will writers stand up, as they did against the rise of fascism in the 1930s? When will film-makers stand up, as they did against the Cold War in the 1940s? When will satirists stand up, as they did a generation ago? <\/em><\/p>\n

Having soaked for 82 years in a deep bath of righteousness that is the official version of the last world war, isn\u2019t it time those who are meant to keep the record straight declared their independence and decoded the propaganda? The urgency is greater than ever<\/em>.\u201d \u2013 John Pilger<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With each passing year, censorship of major stories in the public interest appears to get worse.<\/p>\n

Think about unspoken truths at the heart of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. The missing information demonstrating the covid situation was anything but \u201csafe and effective<\/em>.\u201d Or the evidence that \u201cRussia-gate<\/em>\u201d tying President Trump to Vladimir Putin was not so much a \u201cbig catch<\/em>\u201d as a \u201cred herring<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

And at the same time, people who articulate such statements are denounced as writers of \u201cdis-information<\/em>,\u201d probably conceived inside the Kremlin to mislead people. These sorts of counter-attacks represent a new tactic for confronting the \u201cMinistry of Truth.\u201d Many serious alternative news websites have faced attacks on their journalism by the powerful in this regard.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin this new year, 2024, with a look at the truths of 2023 which have been considered vital to understanding items very much in the public interest that have been trodden over by the military-state-corporate machinery with plans to build expressways of compliance into the brains of the multitudes. This is necessary activity for those wanting to maintain democracy as safe for corporate greed and elite ambition.<\/p>\n

In a recent broadcast, Global Research News Hour<\/em> intends to unmask the villains in charge. In the first half hour, Project Censored<\/em>\u2019s associate director Andy Lee Roth gives a rundown of some of what his team considers the most censored stories of 2023, and also highlights some of the other components of the book Censored 2024<\/em>. In the second half hour, activist and author Yves Engler highlights what he thinks are the most censored stories from a Canadian foreign policy perspective. Finally, we will hear from Ryan Cristian of the Serena Shim Award<\/em> winning TheLastAmericanVagabond.com<\/em> about what important story he feels the mainstream media left out of discussion.<\/p>\n

Andy Lee Roth is the Associate Director of Project Censored<\/em>, a media research program which fosters student development of media literacy and critical thinking skills as applied to news media censorship in the United States.<\/p>\n

Yves Engler has been dubbed \u201cone of the most important voices on the Canadian Left today<\/em>\u201d (Briarpatch<\/em>), \u201cin the mould of I.F. Stone<\/em>\u201d and \u201cpart of that rare but growing group of social critics unafraid to confront Canada\u2019s self-satisfied myths<\/em>\u201d (Quill & Quire<\/em>). He has published twelve books with a thirteenth coming out in February.<\/p>\n

Ryan Cristian is the Founder and Editor of The Last American Vagabond<\/em>, an independent media critic, and recipient of the Serena Shim Award For Uncompromising Integrity In Journalism<\/em>.<\/p>\n
