The House is set to review a bill to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the nation’s warrantless surveillance program exposed by Edward Snowden. Additionally, this week, imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will find out in a two-day appeal hearing if he will be extradited to the US, where he faces life in prison for publishing classified documents exposing U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Kevin Gosztola, curator of TheDissenter.org newsletter & co-host of the podcast Unauthorized Disclosure, discusses the ongoing danger of Section 702, the status of Assange’s case, and the ‘lawlessness’ of the US government.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
