Then who hid the pure news report about GM potatoes?  
There are people who only read the hidden and stuff that has lots of 
discussions, and they never look at the center column.
The hidden propaganda put up by the Exploiter Capitalists about Cuba is 
still readable but is unanswerable.
It is time to rethink the guidelines - were they drawn up by the CIA?
