Henry Giroux: Killing Children, the Burdens of Conscience, and the Israel-Hamas War: A Criminal Policy of Revenge

What Media? Alternatives to Mainstream Corporate Media and where to find them.
Alternative news sources and journalists to the Mainstream Corporate Media (MSM). A long list and where to find them, but not definitive.. Do your own exploring. There's a wealth of opinion and information with research, analysis, and fresh approaches by experienced journalists and commentators.
The Belmarsh Tribunal, Free Assange, hosted by Democracy Now!
What is at stake: To all people of conscience an exhortation to act: "We will not be silent." Expert witnesses from the U.S. and Europe speak to what amounts to the "framing" of Julian Assange, how his case progressed as Trump filed the indictments, then to the hearings, and to how all of this will affect free speech if Assange is extradited and found guilty in a U.S. court for publishing the truth about American drones' "collateral damage" in the murder of civilians. Mike Pompeo characterized WikiLeaks (a publisher!) as an "enemy espionage organization" for the release of condemning CIA data. And the global rise of fascism begins with targeting and discrediting journalists. Freedom of the press and the right of people to know what their government is doing as well as the rights of journalists and their publishers of all viewpoints to publish the truth is threatened, but Biden foolishly pushes forward to extradite Assange instead of freeing him, although journalist and human rights organizations as well as heads of state worldwide have spoken up for Assange, press freedom, and the people's right to the truth.

Caitlin Johnstone: The Mad Propaganda Push To Normalize War Profiteering In Ukraine
Ukraine is a giant advertisement for weapons of mass slaughter, and the cost of that corporate ad is not money but human blood.
The Lies of War Can Be Ended by Truth, by Amy Blumenshine
While the perpetrators of those war crimes were never charged, Assange, the publisher of the documentation revealing them, faces a possible U.S. prison sentence of 175 years in what will effectively be solitary confinement. Free Speech, Free Julian Assange!
Caitlin Johnstone: A giant empire attacking nations who have the temerity to insist on their own national sovereignty and The demolition of Gaza is not necessary.
Hamas is incapable of producing recruitment materials more effective than the footage Israel itself is creating by incinerating Palestinian families in full view of the entire world.
