about

When reporting on crimes is treated as a crime.
Julian Assange is held in the UK waiting a court decision on whether he can be extradited to stand trial for exposing US war crimes in Iraq for his role in releasing incriminating material, essentially making it a crime to expose crime.
Assange committed the grievous 'crime' of releasing material which exposed the levels US military forces were willing to go to to do what they do, which in this case was kill innocent civilians, and various other war crimes.
YFC takes their 1983 hit 'Rolling Thunder' which address the Vietnam war and re-focuses it in a fully new version aimed at the current crisis of freedom of the press and the US's attempt to maintain a monopoly on espionage, ably assisted by its lapdog UK and limp Australian governments, and the world media who stand by silently as it all happens.
Assange has spent the last 10 years in confinement. 8 in the Ecuadorean embassy and 2 in solitary confinement UK prison, one year spent as an inmate for the crime of skipping bail in his efforts to escape capture and potential execution at the hands of the protectors of the free world and one awaiting the UK court to decide whether to wants to get on board with this travesty of justice toward that impending fate.
'Rolling Thunder 2021 Wikileaks' is from the forthcoming YFC 'Yankee Foxtrot Charlie' album due in mid 2021.
