It is September and time for my quarterly request that some of you who are not monthly donors provide some financial support for this website if it is to continue.

Because of the organized suppression of facts and because of the campaigns against truth-tellers, it is increasingly difficult and risky to provide truthful accounts.  Only writers who support the official narratives are tolerated.

Retribution is becoming commonplace.  The level of retribution depends upon the level of threat the writer is perceived to present.  Julian Assange is the top level threat because of his worldwide reach via Wikileaks and his courage to publish leaks revealing war crimes and other criminal actions of the United States government.  Assange has been incarcerated without trial  in one form or another for a decade.  In recent years Assange has been held in solitary confinement in a British maximum security prison while the corrupt British legal system goes through the motions pretending to comply with British law, but always delivering the result its Washington master demands.
