"In the east, journalists are taken from their homes in the middle of the night.
But in the west, homes are taken from journalists in the middle of the day.
The primary mechanism of censhorship and control of the press, publishers and dissidents was economic.
I think that was true for many years with occasional exceptions.
But what is novel about our present period is that that subtle form of very effective thought control and censorship has become so extreme that it is no longer subtle.
It's become so extreme that it mirrors the traditional notions of censorship and human rights abuse that the west has always complained about when it wants to criticize the actions of other states.'
