On March 15th
2025 President Donald Trump has started a crackdown on Radio Free Europe /
Radio Liberty, the Voice of America and other affiliated programs. Almost the
complete staff has been sent home, broadcasts have been shut down and websites
terminated. In May Trump appointed Kari Lake announced that One America News
- a far-right pro-Trump network – is to provide news coverage for VOA.
This attack on access to free information is
unprecedented and a slap in the face for all those who stand up for freedom and
democratic values. RFE/RL President and CEO Stephen Capus said:
“The
cancellation of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s grant agreement would be a
massive gift to America’s enemies. The Iranian Ayatollahs, Chinese communist
leaders, and autocrats in Moscow and Minsk would celebrate the demise of RFE/RL
after 75 years. Handing our adversaries a win would make them stronger and
America weaker.
We’ve
benefitted from strong bipartisan support throughout RFE/RL’s storied history.
Without us, the nearly 50 million people in closed societies who depend on us
for accurate news and information each week won’t have access to the truth
about America and the world.”
Freedom isn’t
everything,
but without
freedom everything is nothing.
************************************
Freedom goes
far beyond any political program or individual experience.
In its real
meaning freedom constitutes a transcendent reality.
Freedom ist the ultimate guideline for human history.
In the end
freedom will prevail.
If liberty
means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want
to hear
George Orwell
