    Maybe its true, in the west they dont disappear journalist, here those who run afoul of the ruling class simply suicide by shooting themselves… in the back of the head… with a revolver… twice. Discretion is just not necessary.

      It’s more that if you don’t toe the line enough in the imperial core you lose access to sources, then lose your job (or change careers because you never get promoted) as a result of not having that access. All the viable careers in journalism require one to be a stenographer of power. This means in the long term you drum out all those who are too willing to be critical.

    I want to assume that the statistics was intentionally distorted by Pax Americana to misled people, but the statistics is not too politicall biased to assume falsification. Even if the statistics is accurate, it does not mean that the government of the country in question is behind their disappearance since the Pax Americana always blame the Communist governments for human right violation by unrelated parties from the assumption that every bad things in Communist countries were caused by the Communist governments. Anyway, it is interesting that they listed Mexico as one of the worst case, do not accuse Venezuela, and accuse Sweden.

    About the attacks against journalists by Israel, the Israel had admitted that they are practicing the same anti-terrorist policy by Pax Americana to massacre everyone in a region that predominately consists of people of colors in order to kill a few terrorist suspects. There could be no journalist disappearance when they admitted that they intentionally kill the journalists as a sacrificial offerings to the god of democracy. Furthermore, the Israel give Palestinians the opportunity to abandon their livelihood, homes, food, and other basic necessities so that the Palestianians could die in poverty rather than from terrorist attacks by Israel which gives Israel the justification to launch terrorist attacks against the people of color without consequence.
