Keir Starmer's police state is again deployed against pro Palestine journalists as Electronic Intifada's Asa Winstanley's home is raided. Right, so following on from the arrest and detention of journalists Richard Medhurst and Sarah Wilkinson, a third prominent and it has to be said, non mainstream journalist has been targeted by the police under frankly the abuse of counterterrorism laws, the real crime of course of writing about what Israel have been doing, are still doing and holding them to account in a manner the Zionist without qualification leading the country right now and becoming ever more unpopular at a rate of knots as he is doing so, Keir Starmer, doesn’t like it. The targeting of journalists writing about the truth of matters in the Middle East based here in the UK since Starmer took over as PM, puts this pretty much beyond doubt in the minds of most people. Therefore perhaps it’s no surprise that Electronic Intifada Associate Editor and author Asa Winstanley has had his home raided by the police and all of his electronic equipment seized, though has not at this time been arrested. Journalism is not a crime, but Keir Starmer is trying his damndest to make real journalism, journalism to deliver the truth, to hold power to account, to oppose fascism a crime. He’s trying to cow independent media and alternative media into silence, but that’s the thing with journalism with integrity – the integrity bit matters more – and therefore his authoritarianism will fail, it must fail and every journalist he targets will basically have had a badge slapped on them, saying: this person says important things and we should listen more to them, not less. Right, so I daresay Keir Starmer does have a warped sense of journalism this is evidently what he thinks passes for it, fawning sycophancy for tasty titbits and nonsensical scoops, but this is nothing of the sort, these people represent grossly overpaid dross, stenography, writing what he says and passing it off as news, mind-numbing drivel to dumb down the populus, it is what mainstream media and their media baron billionaire bosses have done for decades quite successfully. But now we live in an era of social media, an era of people able to become journalists from their living rooms pretty much, and no longer needing to be born into a silver spoon family to be able to get a leg up on the media ladder, who’s families could support them whist they spent years as unpaid interns at various newspapers. And you know what? It’s a good thing. It means power is getting held to account by media start ups that go from strength to strength, from Skwawkbox, to Vox Political, to Novara Media, Electronic Intifada, Evolve Politics and more and this has given rise to an army of far better informed activists, and the more media sources you read the better you can formulate your own opinions based on that, foreign media too, and that in turn gives rise to people like me, giving us plenty to talk about, people for whom the mainstream media is too much of a pro establishment force, now challenged by others spreading more of the truth and telling the stories they refuse to and breaking that connection between them and the political classes who are too close. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Damien Willey.
