Jimmy Dore：美国政府利用虚假信息和捏造罪名对African Stream进行审查，社交媒体平台对此立即执行，此举压制批评声音，违反言论自由。他认为美国政府是最大的说谎者，企业媒体次之，再次是非洲Stream这样的媒体。政府利用"俄罗斯资助"的指控来压制批评声音，对African Stream的审查是此类行为的例子，并提及对Russell Brand的审查。他认为美国政府对African Stream的指控是谎言，这与他们之前在通俄门和拜登电脑门等事件中的行为一致，并认为政府攻击African Stream是基于毫无根据的指控，并暗示非洲人缺乏独立思考能力。 Stef Zamorano：西方公司为了利润最大化而牺牲非洲人民的福祉，这种行为被掩盖在便利性的幌子下，她认为这是不道德的，并呼吁人们关注这一问题。 African Stream团队：美国政府基于Reddit谣言对African Stream进行了攻击和封禁，在Antony Blinken发表声明后，African Stream的YouTube频道和Meta平台账号被迅速删除。他们认为美国政府的审查行为违反了《世界人权宣言》中关于言论自由和新闻自由的规定，并指出African Stream的反帝国主义立场源于非洲自身的殖民历史和血泪史，而非来自中国、俄罗斯或伊朗。他们认为对African Stream的审查是“红色恐怖2.0”的翻版，目标仍然是非洲泛非主义者，美国政府审查African Stream是因为African Stream对非洲的分析不被美国国务院认可，并指出美国政府将African Stream描绘成克里姆林宫的工具，以掩盖其针对非洲反帝国主义者的真实意图。 Antony Blinken: (间接提及) 指控African Stream秘密传播克里姆林宫的内容和信息。

Shownotes Transcript

On September 13, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a press conference in which he accused the Russian media outlet RT of covertly disseminating Kremlin-produced content and messaging via African Stream, a PanAfrican media platform distributed via its website, AfricanStream.media, and on social media platforms.   Shortly after Blinken’s press conference YouTube suspended African Stream’s channel. Meta rapidly followed suit, suspending its accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. On September 24th, TikTok bowed to the pressure and suspended African Stream’s account as well.   Jimmy discusses this transparent act of government censorship that liberals will nevertheless applaud because they’ve fully bought into Russiagate.   Plus segments on Rep. Thomas Massie calling out both parties’ corruption over the budget, former CIA head Leon Panetta describing Israel’s pager attacks on Lebanon as “terrorism,” Elon Musk caving to Brazilian censors and more than 700 members of the deep state endorsing Kamala Harris.   Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Joe Biden!
