Censorship -- in the US of A -- does it exist pervasive or secretly done ?
V Dare the organization which you cite, is a racist , anti immigration, xenophobic organization. Nonetheless they happen to be right,. Because both Conservatives , Liberals, Socialists, and anyone else who thinks out side the box is subject to censorship and persecution. Carl Marx's books were used as evidence in the Smith Act Sedition trials against US Communists, John Peter Zenger was accused of being subversive, Isolationists, some of them Nazis during world War 2 were charged with sedition for newspapers which he published. Then there was Gen Westmoreland's suit about Vietnam , and the Daniel Ellsberg Papers, where both he and the NY Times were accused of espionage, but had their cases dismissed , So US history is fraught with censorship, and the censors continue to have lots of tricks up their sleeves. So much for the US being a Democracy. Oh, I forgot, the Zinn A people's History of the United Statres Act allows the FBI to go into libraries and check on people's reading habits.I am sure the US practices both overt and covert censorship.
