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.
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.
Ukraine is a giant advertisement for weapons of mass slaughter, and the cost of that corporate ad is not money but human blood.
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!
“We clearly have deep concerns about Mr Assange's case,” said the congressman. "People should understand that the charges against him are part of an alarming Global Trend, a sharp increase in attacks against the freedom of the press that is happening in countries around the world including our own."
From Washington and London, the virulence has no limit. Israel, the colonial anachronism and unleashed attack dog, is armed to the teeth and granted historical impunity so that ‘we’ the West ensure the blood and tears never dry in Palestine.
