I submitted my articles to WordPress Blaze.
Carefully researched, fact-based investigations into Alfred Nobel, his white-powder fortune, and the contradictions of a legacy that feeds both peace and war.

Rejected.

Not for plagiarism.
Not for hate.
Not for misinformation.

Rejected because my words didn’t fit their invisible brand-safe box.

The Gatekeeping at Work

Blaze markets itself as a tool for creators: “Promote your post, reach more readers.” But when I tried to advertise:

“White Powder, Dark Legacy” was flagged.

“Merchant of Death” in the title became unpublishable.

Rumble’s Battles in Brazil

Articles challenging comfortable historical myths were quietly buried.


Why? Because Blaze, like every ad platform, runs on sanitization:

Words like “death,” “war,” “corruption,” “contradiction” trigger filters.

Articles that expose uncomfortable truths are “sensitive content.”

Meanwhile, safe consumer fluff sails through.

Blaze as a Historical Gatekeeper

By rejecting investigative work, Blaze isn’t just avoiding controversy—it is promoting historical misinformation by omission.

It tells readers:

Praise the Nobel Prize, but never question its bloody roots.

Celebrate legacies, but never analyze contradictions.

Advertise entertainment, but not truth.


This isn’t neutrality. This is bias in favor of sanitized history.

The Illusion of Free Expression

WordPress claims to champion creators. But Blaze proves otherwise. Blaze wants content that’s glossy, uncontroversial, advertiser-friendly.

What does that mean?
It means the very platform that claims to empower voices is quietly silencing those who interrogate power.

Freedom of speech exists—but not in the marketplace of ads. There, only what sells survives.

Why I’m Flagging Blaze

I will not re-title my work to appease algorithmic gatekeepers.
I will not dilute history to fit a marketing funnel.

I’m flagging Blaze itself as biased—because when it blocks truth under the banner of “policy,” it becomes complicit in promoting the very myths it pretends to be neutral about.

History is messy. History is bloody. History is contradiction.
To erase those realities in the name of “safety” is not protecting readers—it is protecting power.
