Or when proof is overwhelming

> Image: You're causing a scene, madam; With all your whistleblowing

Summary: Systematic demonisation of (lesser convenient to those in power) truth-tellers isn’t a new thing; we ought not fall for it

TRUTH can hurt status

Or a legal apparatus

Facts can cause death Depending on their breadth

Guns don’t kill people Don’t mind that ripple

Sites promote hate Censorship arrives late

Corruption is everywhere We should really not care

Journalists are spies People we must despise

> Image: We'll cut him in half

Leaks are unauthorised They must all be supervised

Laws are objective For the objectives of the rich

Loose lips sink ships Same for anonymous tips

Gossip is everywhere Especially when people care

Accuracy is meager For PR on 6-figure

> Image: You're causing a scene, sir With all your publications

Conspiratorial thinking The stigma they love milking

Hard evidence shown The exposed then moan

Russian agents in every corner Controlling every loner

Privacy is dark “Dark web” is stark

Anonymity is trolling In the eyes of those falling

> Image: I didn't even leak anything, I just published what leakers had sent me

Governments protect us Every lad and lass

Corporations protect authority Except for antitrust scrutiny

Journalism begets disaster When it helps expose a master

The peasantry dissenting Revolting after venting

Unions are for socialists Instead we need just loyalists █
