The 'Journalist' Hit Squad
I loved Glen Greenwald’s full frontal assault on the small group of mainstream media reporters who have been going around “investigating” people for wrongthink. Glenn absolutely skewers them in a fairly long piece entitled “The Journalistic Tattletale and Censorship Industry Suffers Several Well-Deserved Blows”
Here’s his opening paragraph:
SNAP!
What makes this particularly delicious for me is that I’ve mentioned a few of these characters numerous times myself, mostly in videos about child trafficking and child sex abuse. I don’t so much see them as tattle-tales, though. I see them the way Andrew Brietbart saw John Podesta: I see them as pedophile cover-upperers.
Ben Collins, in particular, comes to life when there is a story about child sex trafficking to deflect from. I believe the whole reason that he was obsessed with the Q anon phenomenon is because of its focus on breaking up child trafficking networks and outing prominent pedophiles. Further, it’s pretty obvious that NBC news hired him for the sole purpose of attempting to shame every alternative journalist who looked into human trafficking by painting them as a conspiracy theorist. If it weren’t for his platform on that network I'm certain no one would have ever heard of him. When Ben gave a talk at Pitzer College before Q started, almost no one attended.
What’s that... 6 audience members? And check out the ratio of thumbs-downs to thumbs-ups. Pitzer has deleted all the comments, as well. No dissent allowed or Ben might cry. I must say that Nick Schou (the other speaker) gave a professional presentation that was fairly interesting. Ben, though, failed to read his audience and gave a lengthy, profanity laden and frenetic monologue that must have sounded like complete gibberish to the handful of people who were polite enough not to get up and leave 2 minutes in.
The job seems to be taking a toll on young Ben. He makes these faces a lot.
Shout-out to IPOT who also smelled the stench coming off of Collins ages ago. I bet Sir Patrick enjoys this new attention Ben & his cronies are receiving from some powerhouse alternative media writers as much I do.
Greenwald also mentions snitchy Brandy Zadrozny, another awful person whose whole job is to try and ruin the lives of the people who cover topics or say words of which she does not approve while calling herself a 'reporter in the disinformation space.'
Darren Beattie of Revolver did a segment on Zadrozny a few months back and I’ve been onto this wretched wannabe Stasi for a year or so as well. I wish I could link you to the interview, but alas I cannot locate it on the search engines so the best I can do is a screengrab from one of the hundreds of articles I could find which reference it, denounce it, debunk it, etc - but none actually dares to show its readers the original segment. Quelle surprise!
It’s nice to hear well known writers give their no-holds-barred assessment of dangerous people like Collins & Zadrozny who only pretend to be doing journalism so that they can justify their full time persecution of their paymasters’ political opposition.
Greenwald puts it this way:
”This little crew of tattletale millennials assembled by NBC — who refer to their twerpy work with the self-glorifying title of “working in the disinformation space”: as intrepid and hazardous as exposing corruption by repressive regimes or reporting from war zones — spend their dreary days scrolling through 4Chan boards to expose the offensive memes and bad words used by transgressive adolescents; they then pat themselves on the back for confronting dangerous power centers, even when it is nothing more trivial and bullying than doxxing the identities of powerless, obscure citizens.”
In my opinion Collins, Zadrozny & others who are paid to do similar work are engaged in criminal harassment sponsored by some of the most powerful people in the world. In seems reasonable to assume that these people are threatened by freedom of expression. Gee, I wonder why that might be?
And this brings us to the element that Greenwald doesn’t get in to. He doesn't touch on the background connections ie who is footing the bill for all of this and why. He doesn’t mention (maybe because he doesn’t know) about the larger operation at play. Let me fill in a couple of blanks.
Media Matters for America, David Brock’s progressive propaganda outfit that has specially close ties to Hillary Clinton, may have coordinated with Zadrozny/Collins in their efforts to have all q-related content removed from Youtube. They succeeded in their mission during the run up to the election just as the Hunter Biden Laptop scandal was surfacing. Curious timing, I’d say. The coordinated take-downs didn't stop at video content, though - Olivia LIttle from Media Matters relentlessly pursed all digital platforms she could think of (Patreon, Etsy, Instagram, Twitter, etc) to bully them into deplatforming its users. (sample)
Are all of these 'tattle-tale' journalists connected? I don't have a money trail to show you, nor do I have a network of spies hacking into their Zoom meetings to find out, but here’s MMFA defending Zadrozny after Darren Beattie accurately reported on her activities:
Why is the possible connection worth thinking about? Because Media Matters is very well funded by all the usual supects and then some. It gets money from the Democracy Alliance, for example, which is a mega PAC full of rich celebrities & billionaires out of Hollywood. Media Matters also takes cash from far left figures such as George Soros and John Podesta. Major Unions have supported the group as well. See the tip of the iceberg here.
It's not only the who that matters, it's the method as well. In my opinion what is being funded here, through a chain of like minded powerful people, is out-in-the-open stalking. It’s harassment done in the full light of day. It is undeniable intimidation aimed solely at conservatives and independent thinkers. It’s a digital hit squad hell bent on crushing any dissent and publicly celebrating the scalps taken as a deterrent to anybody else thinking about speaking ill of the cabal of oligarchs who would rather not see their ugly reflections on the pages of the internet.
Here is Brandy Zadrozny taking a victory lap while dozens of people lost years work of work and had their incomes and reputations destroyed after Youtube kicked her targets off the platform without reason or warning.
Brandy doesn’t know what it’s like to work hard to earn an audience because she gets paid to spy, lie and destroy rather than to create anything of value. It must be a bummer to get up every morning thinking, "Who can I ruin today!?"
Whether she hates herself for what she is or whether she is soulless enough to enjoy it, I can assure you that creative people just get MORE creative when they are limited, confined and attacked. Sure, we get knocked down by these people - they do after all have enormous power behind them - but we get back up again with new ideas and an even stronger commitment to our mission. It's happening right now. To my knowledge none of the people she and her band of bitter little haters managed to get kicked off Youtube have given up making content and working for a better future. Through the efforts of all good people, soon the old guard will be buried under their own weight. Boring, repetitive, mean, authoritarian and smug, the 'journalistasi' will probably find it hard to reference their past careers in the not too distant future.
Post Script: I've just seen that Matt Taibi has written his own piece riffing off Glen Greenwald here: The War on Privacy.
Could the screws finally be being turned on these nefarious players? Perhaps.
Next come the tables.

I love the way you ended this. Positive and powerful. I read the Greenwald article and you are right, it took them apart. These desperate, sad people won't even be a footnote in history.

Hey Everyone!
Just a quick note to apologize for the disappearing comments on the front page. Yesterday I did some 'renovations' here and they got deleted when I tried to set up a folder for them on the back end. :( Chalk it up to a learning experience. God bless!
