Translated, that means that individual rights and freedom do not exist in empires<\/strong> and that freedom of speech represents a deadly threat to empires because they are of necessity based on lies.<\/p>\n

In referring to the criminal trials of Julian Assange, it must be emphasized that it is the trials themselves that were criminal, not any proven allegations against Julian Assange<\/strong>. His ‘crime’ was to shine a light on the empire of lies.<\/p>\n

Among the greatest of those lies were the narratives contrived to justify perpetual war<\/strong>. With an understanding that war depends on lies while peace depends on truth, the necessity of false narratives on the part of the war mongering ‘military industrial complex’ becomes self-evident. <\/p>\n

How something as undemocratic as a ‘military industrial complex’ could have arisen within a democracy can partially be explained by learning that the original name of that complex was the ‘Military Industrial Congressional Complex.’<\/strong> In other words, the democratic component of the complex appears to have been Congress itself, and the word ‘Congressional’ was duly removed to help conceal that association.<\/p>\n

The false narratives were spread by what Donald Trump famously coined ‘the fake news media’ while those who revealed true narratives were subject to censorship and political imprisonment. Despite a past Supreme Court ruling that “a free press is intended to serve the governed, not the government,” it is clear that there is no longer a functional Fourth Estate dedicated to that task and responsibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thankfully it appears that the rising influence of social media<\/strong>, combined with the falling influence of mainstream media, is having a positive effect towards creating a better informed citizenry. Independent journalism seems to be an ideal way to re-establish a Fourth Estate that serves the governed in a way that is Just Right. <\/p>\n
