Some of you know that Ben Swann is probably my all time favorite journalist.   I liked his unbiased approach to news reporting where he just reported information and encouraged people to research and make up their own minds.    He did articles and documentaries on many controversial subjects.    He is definitely a Libertarian and possibly even Anarcho-Capitalist leaning journalist.    As such I felt a kinship in the search for the truth no matter how uncomfortable it may make us feel.

Considering the fact he challenged everything from Big Pharma, Monsanto, and other controversial subjects, and the fact that he interviewed President Obama about Syrian Terrorists being provided weapons by the U.S., it is ironic what it took to take him down.

He did a RealityCheck episode  on PizzaGate on CBS46.   He did not accuse anyone of anything.   He simply looked over the information, and went through the FBIs own documentation and said "*It looks like there is at least enough here to do an investigation*" and that was all it took.   It is important he was not accusing anyone of anything.   He just noticed there had actually been no actual investigation though the things people pointed out do match FBI signs to watch for.    People were saying PizzaGate was not true yet there had been no investigation.   They are stating it is not true when not a damn thing had been done to prove or disprove it.    So that was the scope of Ben's crime.    He said there should be an investigation to see if there is anything to it.

The flood gates opened and soon he was having to post that his site (*Truthinmedia.com*) was going to go dark on Tzuday, Feb 1st and to trust him.    When that time came around the purge of Ben Swann was significantly greater than that site going dark.
Truthinmedia.com which had great documentaries and journalism was gone.    All of his youtube videos were deleted.    His facebook and twitter accounts were also closed.

Had I and many of us known the extent of what was going to happen we would at the very least have archived his videos and documents, as there was extremely informative and good content that he had generated for years.

As I kept writing occasionally about this on steemit I found myself increasingly worrying about his health and safety.   Why?   People hadn't really seen him.   He had supposedly appeared once on CBS46 with the microphone turned off.    It began to make some of us wonder whether he had disappeared or been suicided.

After some time we did find evidence he is still around.   What could so silence one of the best journalists I know is concerning.

Anyway, I decided to do my occasional search to see if there is any new Ben Swann news and I found a website that did a pretty comprehensive write up and details on it.    I highly recommend it to any of you that are Ben Swann fans or if I have just interested you enough that you want to know more.

He has spoken about many things beyond PizzaGate and they are reported in an unbiased fashion that is extremely rare these days.    It was simply a 5 to 6 minute blurb on a local news channel about PizzaGate that did him in.    I will say that prior to that I only was vaguely paying attention to PizzaGate.    After the extreme overreaction to Ben's piece and then later on a similar thing with Alex Jones (*who is far from unbiased*) I started to take the topic a lot more seriously.   I didn't see why something that hadn't actually been investigated would warrant this crazy a crack down unless there was something to it.   This is especially true considering many of the other topics Ben has covered over the years.

Here is the website I just found that inspired this post:

I am going to quote a few sections here using screenshots.   I may also grab a few images, but if you are truly interested I recommend going to the site as I will be skipping a lot of material.
