“The freedom of the press, protected by the First Amendment, is critical to a democracy in which the government is accountable to the people.” ACLU
To Fellow Fly Pirates/World Town and all other Progressives: Quite simply, if it weren’t for the courageous journalists and other individuals who have spoken up about the atrocities that have occurred in this world, we wouldn’t know about them, and they would be happening more often and on a wider scale. What they did is journalism, a free right that is provided to all individuals and is outlined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In other words, Freedom of the Press is protected by the US Constitution, by law, making it official that JOURNALISM IS NOT A CRIME. Courage Foundation defends journalists and other individuals who are being prosecuted for having exposed war crimes and other heinous and illegal activities by the world’s governments. So, please support the organization in the work they do. Watch this Video by MIA where she talks candidly about it, including about the importance of supporting Courage Foundation. [Video: “M.I.A. • Real talk about her and NFT / new song “BABYLON” is coming! | INSTAGRAM LIVE” on channel FlyPirates – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbbhC_IUPfU&t=661s. Here’s also an informative article regarding the Julian Assange case, from Amnesty International – “US/UK: “Drop the charges, stop the extradition and free Julian Assange,” says Amnesty head” – https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/10/us-uk-drop-the-charges-stop-the-extradition-and-free-julian-assange-says-amnesty-head/.]
** Still currently away; won’t be posting on social media for a while. Just needed to post this right now, particularly because Julian Assange and other whistleblowers are presently on trial, and it’s a dire situation. So, please watch the video, do your research, and help Courage Foundation so they can efficiently help to defend Julian Assange and all the other heroic journalists and whistleblowers of this twisted, CORRUPT world. They’re essential! Peace. **
