They're Worried About The Spread Of Information, Not Disinformation by Caitlin Johnstone published on 2022-05-23T14:57:52Z We're in the final countdown to British Home Secretary Priti Patel's decision on the fate of Julian Assange, with the WikiLeaks founder's extradition to the United States due to be approved or rejected by the end of the month. Joe Lauria has a new article out with Consortium News on the various pressures that Patel is being faced with from both sides of this history-making issue at this crucial time. And I can't stop thinking, as this situation comes to a boil, about how absurd it is that the US empire is working to set a precedent which essentially outlaws information-sharing that the US doesn't like at the same time western news media are full of hand-wringing headlines about the dangerous threat of "disinformation".

Perhaps it is. 2022-05-24T03:24:35Z Comment by User 205078170 Nicely presented Caitlin especially considering the ongoing physical attack on Julian Assange. However, are we truly mobilizing our strengths together interactively, or just mirroring MSM in a propaganda-war? I'm always surprised at how disconnected calls for right-of-expression or 'Freedom-of-the-Press' in monologues are from the reality of 'dialogue'. i.e. the Right to express information is always tied to the reciprocal right of those impacted by our information to demand an engaged responsive dialogue. All humanity's worldwide 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') ancestors ensured 'Council-Process' or the dialectic right for all to call for Council with anyone they felt impacted by. Of course there are procedures, checks & balances. Generally Council was ensured at every level of human association. from family, friend, associate, ~100 (50-150) personMultihome (eg. Longhouse-apartment, Pueblo-townhouse & Kanata-village). city, region, nation, confederacy & continental councils. 2022-05-23T16:03:58Z
