about

Inspired by Julian Assange, Caitlin Johnstone and all Journalists and Artists who endeavor to tell the truth.
Journalism is under threat. Free Julian Assange !

‘One film that Hollywood did make which envisioned an incipient American fascism, largely forgotten today, was Keeper of the Flame (1943), the least well-known screen partnership of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, in which a successful businessman turned popular demagogue leads a conspiratorial group planning a fascist coup. After his death, his widow reveals the plot to a journalist: “I saw the face of fascism in my own home: hatred, arrogance, cruelty. I saw what German women were facing. Of course, they didn’t call it fascism. They painted it red, white and blue, and called it Americanism. In here are the funds to see it through. Fantastic amounts subscribed by a few private individuals to whom money didn’t mean anything any more but who wanted political power. Knew they could never get it by democratic means.” Keeper of the Flame does not depict mob violence, but it does recognise the dangers of the incipient mob: “The crowds loved him. The crowds always loved him.” But as the conspiracy is revealed, the film ends with a montage of the people restored to decency through the heroic power of journalism.. ‘

LYRICS
Power is the ability to exert control
Over what happens in the world
Absolute power is the ability to exert control
Over what people think happens in the world

Free Assange

From building 7, to Building Consent
From Iraq to Sweden to London
To Equador to Belmarsh and Beyond
From Covert to Covid
What do we know
What do we know,
Only story.

Expose the story. Expose the story
Free Assange

Give me hope before despair.
But give me despair before delusion
give me Truth. GIVE ME TRUTH
Hope and hopelessness might just be an opening to a discovery of something that is far beyond them both.
Something boundless.
Something crackling with potentiality.
And something the bastards never saw coming.

If wars can be started,
Started with Lies,
Peace can begin by truth
