President Maduro declared an orange alert in the states that border with Colombia due to threats of military aggression. Brazilians are becoming rapidly disillusioned with their president Bolsonaro, largely due to the response to the fires in the Amazon. In France, a few hundred yellow vest protestors gathered for the 42nd week of street demonstrations. Then a Viewpoint on the recent fighting between Israel and Lebanon, triggered by an Israeli drone loaded with bombs that exploded on the roof of the Islamic resistance movement Hezbollah.

For this, he is a political refugee subjected to what the United Nations calls "arbitrary detention". The UN says he has the right of free passage to freedom, but this is denied. He has the right to medical treatment without fear of arrest, but this is denied. He has the right to compensation, but this is denied. As founder and editor of WikiLeaks, his crime has been to make sense of dark times. WikiLeaks has an impeccable record of accuracy and authenticity which no newspaper, no TV channel, no radio station, no BBC, no New York Times, no Washington Post, no Guardian can equal. Indeed, it shames them. That explains why he is being punished."--John Pilger Dan RobertsShortwave Report- www.outfarpress.comYouthSpeaksOut!-www.youthspeaksout.net
