so you agree with them silencing her

This is how bullshit is reinforced in echo chambers. It doesn't really work so well here.

The CIA did not make a call to Elektra Records to complain about a message board somewhere. That's simply bullshit, either made up of whole cloth or formulated out of bizarre rumor or outright lies.

Elektra Records, faced with an artist that might become popular for any reason at all, would not squelch them on any basis. Money is their god and their empire is crumbling. Making sure that artists do not sell is not in their operational way of thinking.

Much more likely is that she was sold on the basis of being hot, which everybody knows how to sell, and then proceeded to become political, which nobody in the business knows how to sell. Maybe somebody had to explain to her that they were not going to sell her, which is what happens to 90% of artists signed to labels.
