Censorship is still censorship. Whether it’s Republican or Democrat. So much for freedom.

Once again, fantastic reporting. I think about how we used to talk about strikes during the last wars and this one has been radio silence other than the nonsense propaganda. We aren’t even getting correct numbers for casualties. Then, this BS about a cease fire. It’s like drinking from a fire hose…. Spewing bullshit.

It seems that the number if Ukrainian soldiers killed is classified so this comes as no surprise.

None of this was surprising, but I'm glad I read it. Thanks as always Ken.

So grateful for your reporting. One of the few places I learn what’s really going on.

Foreign policy geeks who have been following the Israel-Palestinian conflict and settlement expansion since the '70s, the bogus War On Terror since the. '90s, the phoney WMD Iraq War, the Gaza genocide , and know the history of the Israeli Likud Party and AIPAC, know what this phoney war is about. We don't need no stinking Pentagon documents.

Literally making America awful again. Why fight these wars and shield Americans from the truth when it's our tax dollars paying the contracts. The government funds the contracts but it's not the government's money... it's ours.

I guess it's up to we, the people, to make some serious changes to those who rule us, if we have any interest in, or chance of, living free. I appreciate the good job you are doing in this vital effort.

My first thought; can these satellites be hacked to show us what's really going on? I haven't a clue on how they operate, so yeah this may be a dumb question, but I couldn't help but wonder.

What follows is not recommended as a bedtime story for children.

I visualize what has been happening in particular since 9/11 as a giant mushroom over the heads of we the people who are on the ground beneath it.

The stalk of this giant mushroom is the government and corporations who are united in not wanting us to know what is going on as their power is increased, growing the mushroom.

The head of the mushroom represents all that is kept from our knowledge as it grows ever larger. The shadow of ignorance that it spreads over us grows as it grows.

But there is a problem. Though the head of the mushroom, all the classified things we may not be allowed to know about grows ever bigger, the stalk of those with an interest in keeping us ignorant does not as it is composed of the same government agencies and companies and people obsessed with power.

The mushroom gets more unstable as the head grows far too big for the stalk to support. The head finally crashes to the ground, representing all the things we don't know about hurting us, injuring all of us who had been living in the shadow of ignorance never realizing the dangers casting that shadow.

I don't see a problem with the particular recommendations you've shown here. Satellite companies are not journalistic institutions; they don't necessarily know how to report these observations. All they're being told is not to jump to conclusions, but to stick to the bare facts visible in the image. Seems like good advice for all of us!
