A #WhiteHouse plot to axe international broadcasters #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty has been foiled after presidential advisor #KariLake was forced to rescind a letter cancelling the network’s grants.
It comes just a day after a judge temporarily halted an attempt by the #Trump administration to shut down the station, claiming it would “violate the #Constitution and federal laws.”

Stanislav #Aseyev is a Ukrainian philosopher, writer and journalist who reported from Russian-occupied Ukraine for #RadioLiberty after the first #Russian invasion of #Ukraine between 2015 and 2017.
"And now one of them has vanished. Now people without the intelligence to distinguish Radio Liberty from a radio receiver have accepted an equation from the hands of executioners and tyrants. This equation is much stronger than an electric current: 2+2=5."
- Stanislav Aseyev

"By that time I’d managed to write fifty-some articles for Radio Liberty, which exposed the totalitarian world of torture in the occupied territories of Ukraine. The masked people who tortured me told me Radio Liberty was still a branch of the CIA, and therefore an unequivocal enemy of Russia.
Like I said, everything was simple: two worlds – freedom and tyranny – and a chair with wires between them like a border between these worlds."

"The electric current that ran through my body on April 11, 2017, for articles I’d written for Radio Liberty, forces my muscles to contract. Victims’ psyches 'contract' in the same way, enabling them to endure torture: the organism musters everything it has.
Sitting in that chair at the 'Ministry of State Security' in Russian occupied Donetsk, I knew why I was there."

If America destroys one of its own symbols, and Russia applauds it from every federal channel - then maybe 2 + 2 really does equal 5?" - Timothy Snyder
#RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty sued the #Trump admin on Tues to try to block it from terminating all federal funds for the US-backed broadcaster.
In a federal lawsuit, the network argues that the #USAGM has violated the #Constitution & federal laws by withholding money #Congress expressly allocated for the broadcaster. USAGM disburses funds to US-backed international networks, including RFE/RL, that serve foreign lands w/o a free or robust press.
