Ventura ran afoul of the left gatekeepers, the so-called 'A List' prog blogs are no more interested in critical thinking and research than the mainstream corporate media. Huffington Post which flushed Ventura's recent story down the memory hole is a sad fucking joke just as Daily Kos (about as left wing as Stalin) is because along with many of the larger but lesser prog blogs there is a chilling form of censorship practiced where the official government lies are not allowed to be questioned or the pressure is ratcheted up and the one who dares to ask the forbidden questions is quickly stigmatized, discredited and eventually banned. I know about these things because I have experienced them as have many, many others.
The sad truth is that so many of the at one time insurgent blogs have been long co-opted and turned into de-facto arms of the corrupt Democrat party, one need to just look at the way that Cindy Sheehan was excommunicated once the 2006 elections put the other criminal party back in control of congress and she was no longer needed. The antiwar movement is virtually non-existent on the 'left' and solely seems to exist in places like the libertarian Antiwar.com or the non-interventionist Ron Paul camp but even now that is being stomped out with the farce that is Jihad Jane who must be Joe Lieberman's wet dream given that now it allows the 'terrorist' lable to be applied to white Americans too.
I split from the 'left' because I just could no longer tolerate the fawning adulation for TV Mockingbirds like Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and Bill Maher along with comedian Jon Stewart who are nothing more than the millionaire counterparts of the fascists on FOX. When do you ever hear any sort of questioning of the American Reichstag Fire anywhere over on the progressive side? It is non-existent just as are any serious criticisms by Olbermann or Maddow of the permanent state of war that the lie of 9/11 has created or for that matter the police state, the naked body scanners or our very special genocidal friends in Israel. Were any of those phonies to ever even mention anything deviating from the official government line they would be out of their studios like shit through a goose.
Anyway, the pathetic censorship of Ventura is no surprise at all.
Just my two cents
