From Project Censored:

“On this Project Censored Show, Mickey Huff and Chase Palmieri continue their discussion regarding efforts to censor voices critical of the US empire from journalists to veterans and whistleblowers. They’re rejoined by Abby Martin of The Empire Files about online censorship and recent attacks of her work on TeleSUR; followed by Mike Prysner, a noted activist and veteran against the ongoing wars, who discusses his latest work on the Eyes Left podcast that encourages resistance within the military and offers counsel to people inside the military as well as support to veterans who want to speak out against imperial wars. The program continues with independent journalist Kevin Gosztola from Shadowproof.com about NSA whistleblower Reality Winner’s case and recent sentencing, the longest for unauthorized disclosure in US history.”

On The Jimmy Dore Show, Host of Empire Files Abby Martin and producer Mike Prysner discuss the attack on their show and their network TeleSUR by the U.S. government.

Due to sanctions imposed by the current administration, Empire Files is now being forced to ask for support from viewers and is promoting a GoFundMe and Patreon to ensure that their show and their message continues.

As Dore explores, censorship of TeleSUR extends beyond the government into the capitalist industry, with Facebook removing and censoring the TeleSUR Facebook page twice in just one year. Abby adds that the warnings and censorship extend to both Twitter and YouTube.
