People have always spoken out against war, but were thrown in prisons in the past, for voicing their opinions. Now, Antiwar voices are hidden on obscure websites. The mainstream media doesn't like to cover outspoken opinions. The example I read about was AFRICOM and they were trying to hide the fact that 7 al-Shabaab fighters. First of all, the government isn't going to want the general public to see the U.S. is concealing a recent event that took place. When people read articles that incriminate the U.S., it reflects poorly on the government. The U.S. government heavily fighting with Somalia isn't news the government wants to be public. Government issues Keeping their image perfect also has to do with internet search engines. Google will hide certain search results causing people to be unaware of what is going on in the world.
Seeking out war voices will be hidden by an average search engine, so switching to another search engine may enable someone to find information hidden by the government. Switching the search engine can be a pain so another alternative is to be as specific as possible when searching for antiwar information. People already believe the government hides information, so them hiding incriminating information isn't surprising. Looking for specific writers or searching deep into the web will also help one find information. I have never heard of the antiwar website or the American Conservative Website. I am sure most people are uninformed about what the government does to cover up deaths and much more. For people to become aware of websites like this posting on websites like reddit and other online forums help the spread of information. Having multiple sources of information is key to releasing to public information. In order for someone to figure out antiwar information further, look into recent events or even talk to the local people to discover what has been hidden.
