WITHIN THE PAST FEW DAYS, Democracy has taken some hard censorship hits in the U.S. It seems the new dawn has brought unprecedented limits on how information is allowed to be seen and heard in America. I don’t think that trend is going to improve for a long time.An Iron Information Curtain is descending around us. It has NEVER happened before in the history of America.
