Twitter succumbs to pressure and complaints from CNN, Merkel, Juncker and EU Commission by suspending The 5th Estate account "REPLATE NEWS" - the third account over the last three years to be taken down for reporting the truth
THE 5TH ESTATE ASIA

On May 12, Twitter suspended The 5th Estate account "REPLATE NEWS" citing "violations of their terms of usage."
This is now the third account that has been suspended following complaints from CNN, the EU Commission, Angela Merkel, Jean Claude Juncker and others who took exception to our published reports on the Greek economic rape and destruction by the EU, Brexit, the "migrant crisis" and other globalist actions that have caused havoc and chaos worldwide. It is important to note that The 5th Estate is only one of hundreds that have been targeted by the Twitter censors.
Interestingly enough, the vast majority of news reports posted on REPLATE NEWS' Twitter account were in fact picked up from the wire and other Independent and indeed some MSM media bureaus.
It is fairly common knowledge and now proven fact that Twitter censors news and private accounts that it does not like or meet with their globalist, elitist, corporate criminal party line.
It is also evident and ironic that Twitter selectively uses complaints of "bias" and "fake" news against Independent Media bureaus to shut them down - even as they publish, promote and portray "mainstream media" fake news outlets such as CNN and the BBC as "credible" news sources.
REPLATE NEWS, among others, exposed them on Twitter on a daily basis and it is one thing to be recognised as simply annoying, however we were astounded and indeed honored to be informed of complaints filed by Angela Merkel, Juncker and the EU Commission and that they had taken steps to ban The 5th Estate Asia from Europe.
The ultimate intention of the so-called "mainstream media," governments and globalist "elites" is to eradicate Independent Media from the Internet, and recent censorship moves by Facebook, Twitter and other social media to label any news other than that emanating from the MSM corporate frauds, hacks and warmongers as "fake news" has borne this out.
Twitter is already on the ropes financially, it's credibility trashed and exposed as anything other than a conveyance mechanism for the fake news bureaus such as CNN, the BBC and other MSM corporate mouthpieces.
They are the confirmed enemy of objective, credible news reporting - and the truth.
