I write, using basically just two publications as my platform, from which my writing goes to the world, in various languages.

But that 'small and petty world' is obviously monitoring me. And what it sees, it does not like.

*

After launching with one of the mightiest publications in the West (I don't really want to name the publication, but my readers, most likely know which one I'm talking about) some 300 essays in the last 7 or 8 years, I was literally dumped by it at the very end of 2017. I will never find out the real reason, but most likely it was due to my 'too left wing' convictions, and too anti-Western, too open rhetoric. And yes, there was actually some hint: The editors did not like it that I write for 'Russian state-sponsored media', which in turn has some links to allegedly radical left-wing sites in the U.S.

In the eyes of the anti-Communist, 'we-go-by-the-issues' Western media, any 'state sponsored' or 'state controlled' media is bad, extremely bad!

Even if it belongs to those countries that are heroically fighting against Western imperialism, trying to save our Planet. Or perhaps it is considered especially bad if it belongs to such countries. It obviously applies to the Chinese, Russian, Venezuelan, Cuban, or Iranian media outlets. In summary -- it applies to all media worldwide that is fighting to prevent the Western monstrous imperialist endgame from taking place; to the media that is fighting with force and zeal, and with (lately) tremendous success.

Instead of obediently waiting for the Western right or Western left, to define the world, now the Chinese, Russians, Latin Americans and the Middle Easterners are suddenly daring to re-define events that are taking place on this Planet. They are interviewing Westerners themselves, while holding a mirror to those monsters that became both the European and North American societies.

And instead of letting only Westerners speak, there are suddenly African, Asian, Russian, Arab and Latin American people appearing in front of the cameras.
