#RussiaUpClose#Censorship#DigitalWarfare In this episode of I’ll Tell You What, Eddie Gonzales — former Texas law enforcement officer and co-host of Russia Up Close — exposes the new censorship machine: the Information-Industrial Complex. The truth is simple: If they can censor anyone… they can censor you. Russia Up Close is a show that brings Russians and Westerners into direct, honest conversation. Its goal is to break stereotypes, building a two way bridge between Russia and the West, and offer a grounded, human look at life inside Russia through real voices and real stories. ____ Please Follow Us on Our Platforms: ➡️X: https://x.com/russiaupclose ➡️YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ruclose ➡️Telegram: https://t.me/RussiaUpClose ➡️VK: https://vk.com/russiaupclose ➡️RuTube: https://rutube.ru/u/russiaupclose ➡️Yandex: https://dzen.ru/russiaupclose ➡️MAX: https://max.ru/join/fp1u2YfMAlbbS65bgK87EvVKEgD9Z4pjmi71tthNv9o ➡️Our Website: https://www.RussiaUpClose.ru For Advertising Inquiries: [email protected] ____ The Hosts Jozef A.

We invite viewers to join the conversation, challenge assumptions, and become part of a community that values direct dialogue over media filters. ____ Russia Up Close aims to expand into a major media community featuring long-form interviews, weekly segments, field reporting, and community-driven storytelling. Our long-term vision is to become the premier space where Russians and Westerners meet, speak openly, and rebuild understanding. https://youtu.be/h1Re55NRDww
