Yes, we have Propaganda and Censorship right here in the Free U.S. (and Globally). Again, I can’t but help but compare the New Follow-the-Science (FtS) Religion[1] to the Catholic Religion with regard to the Control of Information.
For more than a thousand years the Catholic Church had very good Control of Information (just ask Galileo). The Bible was only available in Latin, and only the Priests could read that language and then pass along the Dogma in the vernacular to the Laity. The Church also had Inquisitions to root out Heretics. And if you wanted to publish a book, you needed to have an Imprimatur signifying that the book was not in disagreement with any Dogma. We may laugh at this today, thinking those days have long passed, but Censorship is here today, new and improved, and beyond what either the Catholic Church or George Orwell himself could have envisioned (just ask Julian Assange or Seymour Hersh).
In Mussolini’s words, "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." What then would you call the merger of the Democratic Party, the Alphabet Agencies (e.g. CIA, NSA, FBI, etc.), Mainstream Media (MSM), Apple, Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Amazon (and the Banks, etc.) ? You’d call it Fascism. And these Fascists “filter out”, censor, or shadow-ban any writings that disagree with their Narratives. Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you must be very aware of how this Fascist State has been censoring any information negative about Biden while promoting anything, regardless of veracity, negative about Trump (and I did not vote for Trump, nor for the stuffed shirt). And theses Fascists are also Bullies: just look at how Google, Amazon and Apple just shut down Parler[2], and Facebook has locked out Ron Paul for “violating community standards” (is preaching Liberty now something to be canceled ?). I have a problem with an Oligarchical Fascist Bullying State that Censors, regardless of how Woke, Right, Good, or Liberal they claim their Censorship to be, and so should you, regardless of which team you root for.
And this censorship is not limited to politics. I once thought that Science was a refuge from Narrative. But the Institutions of Science and Higher Learning have also (maybe always ?) been corrupted. While many are now just seeing this censorship in politics, I have seen this Censorship for many years regarding any information questioning the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) Narrative, and especially this last year with the CoVid-1984 Hysteria Narrative.
The control of information, and state-sponsored Propaganda is not new; it’s been going on for thousands of years to control populations and today it has the benefit of these thousands of years of psychological research and the best technology. Just look at all the religious Mask-Wearers and people going along with Totalitarian Lock-Downs while there are NO DATA showing the effectiveness of either and you can see just how powerful and effective this Propaganda and Censorship is. I will end this with a quote from William Blake (from Milton, 1804), as I could never say it any better:
Rouse up, O Young Men of the New Age! Set your foreheads against the
ignorant hirelings! For we have hirelings in the Camp, the Court, and
the University, who would, if they could, for ever depress mental, and
prolong corporeal war. Painters! on you I call. Sculptors!
Architects! suffer not the fashionable fools to depress your powers by
the prices they pretend to give for contemptible works, or the
expensive advertising boasts that they make of such
works: believe Christ and His Apostles that there is a
class of men whose whole delight is in destroying.

And I'm not the only one concerned about Censorship in the U.S.
Foreign Leaders Are Now Condemning US Regime For Brutal Censorship of American Citizens

It's interesting to see what they have to say about our Cencorship.
