EP. #1254 Silenced: How Big Tech and the CIA Hijacked Sarah Westall
What happens when you tell the truth in a country that claims to value free speech? An independent journalist finds out: you get silenced, erased, and branded a conspirator. Former systems engineer and showrunner Sarah Westall joins Strange Planet to explain how her reporting on corruption and human trafficking was folded into a political psyop—and then neutralized. YouTube deleted her channel, Patreon wiped supporters, and impersonators stole her audience while platforms looked the other way. We trace the mechanics of deplatforming, digital impersonation, and institutional collusion between Big Tech, media, and power. Truth has consequences. So does silence.
GUEST: Sarah Westall is an investigative journalist, systems engineer, former university instructor, and media executive. Creator and host of The Sarah Westall Show and Business Game Changers (Apple Business News top-ranked), she built one of the largest independent platforms covering corruption, human trafficking, health innovation, and geopolitics. Known for rigorous interviews with whistleblowers and experts, Westall’s work reaches millions across Rumble, Apple Podcasts, Substack, and other platforms. Sarah is an international best-selling author, known for “Exposing Blackmail,” where she coined the powerful phrase: “Blackmail is the currency of the powerful.” Her fearless reporting has led to exposing FBI files on Jeffrey Epstein, the BURISMA scandal, Ukraine biolabs, global human trafficking networks, and COVID-19 narratives—all well ahead of mainstream coverage.
