10 days ago or so we posted a few links on Facebook about the Julian Assange case and how it impacts Free Speech and Free journalism all over. We go kicked off while trying to make another post and had not been able to log back in. After several attempts to get assistance via Twitter since you need to be logged into Facebook to get help, I finally get this screen that walks me through “verifying” who is FiWeBelize. We are not uploading a picture to Facebook so we have to say goodbye on that platform except for the possible […]

Our Esteemed brother Paco Smith wrote up a great research paper on the inaccuracies of what is being sold as the greatest threat to Belize as a nation and people, meaning that our largest threat is not an external boogey man but rather a more familiar one, the real boogey man being our own governance and those that work together with them in the shadows.

Indeed, with the looming existential threat of Guatemala and its unfounded claim to […]
