Real Journalism Gets You Fired - Reporter Dilyanna Gaytandzhieva Axed For Exposing Terrorist Weapons Smuggling

in journalism •  7 years ago  (edited)

Trud Reporter Dilyanna Gaytandzhieva Fired Without Justification.




Dilyana broke the story about a massive weapons smuggling operation from eastern European nations to multiple conflict zones in the Middle-East.


Anonymous Bulgarian on twitter (@anon_bg) provided government records and shipping documentation as undeniable evidence.

Instead of receiving the attention that this courageous reporting merited, Dilyana has been released by her employer without reason.

Dilyana's Original piece at Trud.bg:

https://trud.bg/350-diplomatic-flights-carry-weapons-for-terrorists/



Dilyana Gaytandzhiev on Twitter   I ve just got fired for telling the truth about weapons supplies for  terrorists in  Syria on diplomatic flights https   t.co wSJTRIzKnr (3).png

For a complete rundown on this story please check out my series Weapons Smuggling at Steemshelves.com

http://www.steemshelves.com/silkway-airlines-ship-billions-in-weapons/


At the center of the billion dollar illegal weapons smuggling operation are the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan, Silkway Airlines, Bulgarian weapons manufactures, SOCOM and multiple US contractors including - Orbital ATK, Purple Shovel and Chemring Group.



This is a travesty.

Dilyanna is a True Journalist of the Highest Caliber.

Meanwhile, we are fed an endless amount of manufactured events, state propaganda and sensational distractions on a daily basis.


I want to extend a big thank you to fellow steemian @sarahabed for alerting me of this situation.

No truth is allowed in mainstream media. Only way to unplug from fake news is throw your TV away. The truth is so obvious, don't understand how anybody don't see it by now. Decentilazed alternative media is only solution (not like Rebel media)

Wow. You got nuked. I swear your rep was on 56 earlier.

Yeah, sure shows the hate here.
I ment no harm, I did not know offering a gift/post was Spam. And this is how I am treated?
Did anyone take the time to see I do a Steemian of the day regular post. I am here wanting to be positive and share.
I did not mean to upset so many people here/ so much hate????
50 score to 5
for trying to help others?

It must suck. I can't have any sympathy for you when you replied to every comment on multiple posts with the same reply.

Electronic spamming is the use of electronic messaging systems to send an unsolicited message (spam), especially advertising, as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site.

You're not trying to help others you are only trying to help yourself. They are affiliate links you are posting which means you get paid every time some signs up via your link.

Don't try and justify your actions just except you fucked up and move on.

I did fuck up. yeah it was a affiliate link, its the only way to give the free token.

I have been trying to make ammends. I am new to social media, find a heart please to forgive me.
I gave my word I would not do it again.

This sh*t has got to end, we need to be able to protect these brave voices risking it all. I'm sure everyone remembers Serena Shim :'(

Nature didn’t promise us a just and fair world. Those who do this must understand the risks.

We can try to build tools for enable humans to protect themselves. We can never entirely remove ruthlessness from nature.

What we may want, believe and feel, is not relevant if it is not also realistic and viable.

yes my first thought went to her :(

Such a tragedy. She exposed an invasion and they killed her for it.

Reminds me of Serena Shim who exposed how jihadi mercenaries were being smuggled from Turkey into Syria in World Food Program (UN) vehicles. She was killed 2 days later in a "car accident".
ChopURTW0AADO3k.jpg
The US ignored her death (she's a US ctizen) and Press TV forgot all about her after a few days.
That's why the Media is so full of presstitutes and shills, the few journalists with integrity they get rid of.

Media and Journalism is a way more dangerous weapon then any powerful weapon out there, I am a witness of that in many case, My country was at war 17 Years a go, and i could see what an influence media reporting has, The Serbian forces that was killing innocent Albanian people had control over media, and they were showing the propaganda to the Serbian nation, so it is the Media that in fact made all Serbian people believe that Serbian regime was leading a war against terrorist, but they never showed the truth, on how they were killing women and children, to this day many people in Serbia don't know the truth about the war here. so i pray and hope that one day media will really understand that they have the most powerful weapon.

They know the media is the most powerful weapon, that's why the Elites have kept such a tight grip on it (and are still trying to control it with censorship).
Btw it wasn't only Serbs manipulated by propaganda, but also Kosovan and Albanians.
Western intelligence agencies played classic divide & conquer in the Balkans.
And seems it is actually you in Kosovo that have been kept in the dark about the real nature of the war. It is now admitted the CIA & Western intelligence supported the KLA with the purpose to start a rebellion and break up Yugoslavia. Even NATO generals over the years admitted most of the violence was initiated by the KLA, and more evidence of their brutality emerged in the recent organ harvest trials. Of course we only find out about these things once the war is over. If the Western public had know this before they would have not supported the war against Serbia.
Also the Red Cross numbers show most of the displaced in Kosovo were infact ethnic serbs, which undermines the whole "albanian ethnic cleansing" narrative. And still today we keep seeing serbs forced and intimidated to leave Kosovo.
The good thing is that now thanks to social media there are self funded citizen journalists, and the media is not controlled solely by powerful interests anymore.

More evidence of the near total control of 'the shitstem' by the same elements. Upvoted and Resteemed!

Sad but true.

Sounds like a refugee who could find a good home writing stories here on Steemit.

I was thinking the same ;)

One of the most powerful aspects of Steemit!

Citizen journalism, which is independent, and is not beholden to the interests of some company or nation has to pick up what corporate journalism has stopped supporting.

Big thank you @v4vapid this is really sad to see high caliber journalist with a deep understanding of what their job is about to get fired for telling the truth. All over the western world, today facts are less important than propaganda. EU is one of the worst places today for real journalist. The so called free world today has become a communist world who is not telling its name. Today in EU if you are expressing an opinion different than the mainstream one you can end up in jail and EU politician are calling it freedom of expression. The time will come when all those responsible for this situation will face the people trail. We know that EU and USA are feeding the terrorist with weapons and make the mass immigration to EU possible. If you want to look at the top of the pyramid there is a little country in the middle east who take advantage of it and may soon after that expand its territory, of course, this country is back up by USA and EU for decades and what ever you said about this country can bring you to jail. Dilyanna Gaytandzhiev must join the dissident press and take care of herself as the EU is ready to do everything to bring down good journalists. She is one of the journalists who is real and she must be rewarded for that and not fired. Love her.

Maybe this is a good thing, now she is free from that crap and now start real journalism by creating her own media like fb, youtube, steemit :)

Journalism is so important this day in age and yet there is still so much done to stop journalists from doing their job, we need more outlets like this to help bring attention to the injustices happening

Men only want to see what they want to hear and nothing else :(
This is the sad reality of paid media and the reason why people are loosing their faith in News companies.

Wow!!
Incredible courage the #journalism Dilyana.
We can only see people like him, compared 1:1.000.000 maybye. Bc most of us are indifferent to the things that smell or violence whit #weaponssmuggling "for some people in this years". N today most people are concerned wiht #politics rather rhan the salvation of the souls of others.

Hopefully in the future we can find a lot people like his courage.

Awesome article, and thank you for the mention! Glad you are making people aware of this. Can't believe I didn't see it till now. Just a minor correction my twitter handle is sarahabed84 :-) but no worries it's correct in the screenshots. Also, as an update, it looks like Julian Assange is looking into hiring her. I just hope she stays safe because we know what happened to #serenashim and would not want more of our amazing truth advocates to face a similar fate. God rest her soul.

@sarahabed, thanks for responding ;) I've been a little busy lately. Sorry I misspelled your twitter...will fix that asap. I just noticed that i also spelled Dilyana's last name incorrectly in the title! ffs...
Very interesting that Assange is showing interest, could turn out to be a good thing in the end, who knows, right?!

Also, I will be sharing this on my facebook and twitter accounts, and I will tag Dilyana too so that she can see the incredible amount of love and support here. So glad we crossed paths @v4vapid

Thanks for bringing this to our attention buddy. I guess the only silver lining is getting fired isn't the same as getting whacked! There are too many truth tellers that have had tragic accidents or been suicided. If anyone needed any more evidence of the creeping Orwellian police state that is planned for us look no further, it's already here. When telling the truth is a sure way to get fired or worse you know your society is in trouble.

Govt. is the hidden enemy of real journalism. They know how to manipulate, influence and contaminate values.

This is another reason why Steemit is so amazing! The true story can be found instead of the endless. Arrage of distraction and division programmed media. Steem on Baby!
Upvoted and resteemed :)

Cheers! from @thedamus

I never really liked her journalism anyway always seemed half assed

Upvoted and also resteemed :]

Good luck 💪 @v4vapid

thanks for post

sorry for sending you unwanted post.
deleting them all now.

the problem here is she to so hot and smart. have to stop that. she can only have one. haha just kidding, my wife would punch me

What I find outstanding is that people pay attention to these stories, while ignoring how truly wonderful life actually is, it's not all that bad, it could be better. However focus on the nice things of the world!

Firing reporters for speaking the truth is censorship.

She should be lauded for her incredible work, not lose her job...

the world is not all unicorns and rainbows my friend.

Ignoring the truth and being complacent is why we are in the situation as humanity we are in.
Journalist like this are ESSENTIAL to an accountable society.

nice post thanks for sharing

sorry for sending you unwanted post.

I can't believe this reporter who is trying to uncover the lies and deceptions and bring truth to the people is being silenced and muted which absolutely disgusts me.

It seems like rather than having a system where we can be transparent and uncover the truth, the government and other elites try to hide things for their own gain.

Coincidentally I wrote a post yesterday stating if money really makes you happy, but it seems the government values power and technocracy and that is their source of happiness.

I guess smuggling weapons into these countries to carry on this political warfare is more important than losing influence or trying to strive towards peace.

I think as photo-moment said, blockchain technology will be advocated by everyone sooner or later. When this transparent system is set up, it will be virtually difficult to suppress anything from the public, and we can finally stop being manipulated @v4vapid.

Thanks to God, we killed all the terrorists in Mosul

Sadly journalism has been corrupted by the media, many things go out every day that need to be told but only the ones that sell go published.

So SAD!

great work done....nice information,followed you

Shocking how people still blindly accept info off of their TV news.

Unfortunately this happens more than we even know. This is devastating for a couple reasons.

  1. It keeps us from getting the important info they would otherwise be sharing.
  2. It scars and thus deters others from covering such important issues.

Diabolical world we live in.

Good work... In this world, true journalists are usually out of work. :(

Well, its people who are brave enough to seek, live and share truth and knowledge that keeps the world from going dark.

a great journalist

sorry for sending you unwanted post.

This happens all too often. This will hopefully end up as a net positive for her. The exposure of her firing (and the story she covered) are sure to hit other online outlets. I hope to hear/see her on a bunch of my favorite podcasts or web programs.

This is exactly what crypto currencies are for. There is no disintermediation between the people and those seeking to further truth in the name of the people.

Unfortunately independent reporters are viewed as the greatest threat by government around the world. A lot of excellent reporters have been blackballed and effectively silenced by the corporate press that has been taking marching orders from the CIA for literally decades.

http://www.carlbernstein.com/magazine_cia_and_media.php

This war on journalism is especially pronounced in matters related to Syria, as again illustrated in the case of Dilyanna Gaytandzhiev. The CIA and other clandestine spy services from USA, Saudi Arabia the UAE and elsewhere fueling the proxy war in Syria hate having their dirty secrets exposed by intrepid journalists. Seymour Hersh has written a series of excellent exposes on the dirty war in Syria, stretching well back into the tenure of the Obama administration.

https://www.lrb.co.uk/v36/n08/seymour-m-hersh/the-red-line-and-the-rat-line

The Pulitzer-prize winning Hersh has been exiled from the US press for insisting on exposing the crimes of the powerful. If it can happen to a journalism with the credentials and prestige of Hersh, it can happen to anyone.

Wow! Unbelievable! When I hear that US contractors are involved in anything related to gun smuggling or other elicit wrong doings it infuriates me. Courageous reporter for having the fortitude to come forward with this information. She should be receiving an award. 🐓🐓

She shouldn't have been fired if this is true. To uncover something like that must have took a lot of hard work, investigative skills and true journalism skill!

This is typical for the mainstream media. Remember David Web who exposed the CIA drug-smuggling operation. He was then harassed and ostracized among journalists, and in the end "suicided" with two(sic) bullets in the head.

yeah, Gary Web is/was a legend! He did better work from the San Jose Mercury than the entire msm combined... sad ending. I think people now'days are able to support independent journalists a little more through social media. Idk if that would have helped Web but I'd like to think so.

There is a growing need for alternatives to the mainstream news media. For too long we've relied on their truthful reporting of events- especially in the past where people rarely communicated with those outside of their immediate area and therefore had no way to verify the information they'd heard.

Today, with the advent of the internet, traditional media is being challenged and anyone worldwide can now call themselves a reporter using Twitter and other social media. This, while very much a positive step, has led to an over saturation in the news and information available. With varying facts, statistics and accounts- reliable information is hard to come by.

How can we utilise the power of the internet to bring accountability to media organisations yet ensure validity and accuracy of news?

that is BULLS#!T, what is happening here in this planet !

Spamming is not cool. I hope you understand why you've been flagged.

sending you a free gift is SPAM?

It's SPAM if I didn't ask or want a free gift.

I know this now.
You really think hurting someones reputation like this is justified?
Steemit is my first social media website ever. Look for yourself on all the sites.
I did not know this was Spamming. My intentions were to share.

Just so you know, it was the account @adm, one of the original starters of this site, that originally downvoted you to the rep of 6. And he wasn't giving you full power downvote. You could have been in the negative numbers. Try posting original content and personal stories or reading other posts and commenting. People like those who show interest in their work.

I will appologize to him to.
thanks for your help.

I relooked at your account and @adm wasn't the first downvoter today. The following have downvoted you also: @klye, @fractalnode, @leoplaw, @bacchist, @ats-david and @whatsup. Pretty heavy hitters. You might want to do a post addressing this issue. Mention all names that I have told you about in the body of the post. Tell them what happened and let them know you will make things right. Who knows, you might get some $$ and get some reputation points back. Couldn't hurt.

Share via your own post. Not others.

Just so you know I wouldn't have made a dent in your reputation with my small amount of SP. You obviously caught the attention of a big angry whale.

Good day to you sir.

Have a blessed day.
