There is still free press? He has worked as a representative of NBC News and the New York Times. If you ask whether the government can keep information secret from the public and the public media? The following stories could tell you ...

"Free" press

I was a senior consultant in the Karen Silkwood case against Kee McGee's nuclear plant in Oklahoma. The public did not even know that 98% of pure radioactive plutonium went outside the private sector to Israel, Iran, South Africa and Brazil. But this was known by the CIA. I personally communicated this information to Peter DHStockton, the lead investigator for the House Commerce Commission and the Energy and Enviroment subcommittee. I also handed this information personally to Congressman John Dingle. He requested a direct investigation from CIA Director Stansfield Turner. This investigation has confirmed that this is true. This information never reached the American public.

In fact, the New York Times would never print me if they knew it. The CIA and the NSA had their own people in all major news media all over the United States. In truth, I saw a classified document that said that since 1990 I learned about the document, 42 had full-time, self-employed people working for the CIA, the NSA and the Military Intelligence Office. These people worked for all major news media in the United States and their job was to detain the publication of national security information.

Free press is a myth

Indeed, independent free press is a complete myth. Keith Schneider was a reporter for the New York Times during the Iranian conflict. She had very good information on the numbers of aircraft that helped to smuggle drugs. She had accurate information about what was happening. She told me personally: I know, Dane, we in the New York Times have very good information from good sources inside the CIA. I answered her: Yes, Keith, you are talking directly with the guy who is the General Counsel for the Times.

Frankly, even if we have such information, the CIA does not want to confirm it officially for the New York Times. Under such conditions, we can not print it.

That's how Free Press works in the United States right now.
