"The Biden administration is colluding with ideological allies and powerful partisan supporters to deep-six what it doesn’t want the public to see. By proposing that alleged malefactors be banned from all sites at once, it confirms that this isn’t about private sector businesses making separate decisions to compete in a free market but a program of orchestrated censorship."

I am currently reading Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham, the story of the nuclear disaster with some history of the USSR's race against the West for space and nuclear supremacy to give context. With this, of course, are the details of how the communist and socialist mindset led to the disaster and the human cost during and after. 

One of the most interesting (and horrific) facts was the control and censorship of information from the government and their ability to shut down any information they didn't want anyone to know, to include everyone from plant operators to the average person to people in control of building nuclear reactors. Most information about their nuclear program was classified as state secrets which led to a chain reaction of SNAFUS that led to the Chernobyl disaster. During and after, the government refused to be honest with the people involved and affected by it which led to many deaths. To this day their official number of people who died as a result of Chernobyl is 31. Anyone who tried to report or talk about anything the government didn't deem factual (according to them) was shut down, threatened and likely killed. 

It's not that the info was incorrect, it's that they didn't want anything outside of their narrative to be discussed. We are not at the USSR level of censorship yet, but we're headed there if this keeps up. Anyone who doesn't see it is blind or willfully ignorant. 

There are other subjects that could be discussed from the book that are happening now but this is enough for now.
