The Truth I will get my story straight Before we meet at the hotel lobby bar Before we take this any further Before we tear this apart Well I hear you have them eating from the palm of your hand I hear your grass is greener I hear you're making a stand They'll blow their bitter trumpets As I read the room Repeat after me Is that the best you can do? Is that the best you can do? Is that the best you can do? Well how much do you know? And how much can you give us? How much do you know and how much are they asking for? I'm not here to make friends It's a means to an end It's a means to an end I'm not here to make friends It is not something I would recommend But equally well I am not offended The truth is an exercise in patience The truth is not what we signed up for The truth is no longer concerned with the facts The truth is a constant stream of non-sequiturs The truth is an unmade bed The truth is, love works in mysterious ways I guess we'll never know The truth is I don't know whether to sink or swim The truth is a one-way system in an unfamiliar city The truth is I'm not sure how we got here The truth is I'm not sure we can ever leave The truth waits for no one The truth is, I have never met or been in contact with that person in my life The truth is I don't remember The truth is not what it was The truth is ready when you are The truth is all things to all men The truth is all things to some men The truth is where you draw the line The truth is whatever you want it to be The truth is a rabbit in a hat The truth is a foreign language The truth is your browsing history The truth is a bitter pill The truth is unpasteurised The proof is in the pudding The truth is neither here nor there I suspect the truth lies somewhere in the middle I suspect the truth lies somewhere in the middle The truth is unnamed source The truth is not available for comment at this time The truth is an infinite playlist The truth is not what you expected The truth has over one hundred million views The truth is unverified and unverifiable but it is the truth if I say it is The truth will not be televised The truth is, we're no longer sure it is my voice on those recordings The truth is a sinking ship The truth is a moot point Cry me a river The truth comes in different sizes The truth is a no nonsense haircut The truth is around here somewhere I remembering having it but not what I did with it The truth is in a Moscow hotel room The truth is hidden in a complex series of offshore companies The truth is encrypted The truth is a cold shower The truth is I don't know what I'm doing And I've been scratching around for some way to say it The truth is a liquid lunch The truth is your privacy is important to us The truth is all of the above Delete as applicable Well I keep friends in all the right places And I'll feed you dirt on a need to know basis Bathe me in soft light And capture my good side If you get the drinks in I will give it my all tonight I'll work the room like I know what I'm doing A picture of calm under a killing room My fingers are pins And my head is a ruin But I'll work the room like I know what I'm doing The truth is I hold all the cards here The truth is I hold all the cards The truth is The truth is I am the truth You will never see me again and even if you did you wouldn't recognise me You will never see me again and even if you did you wouldn't recognise me The truth is You will never see me again and even if you did you wouldn't recognise me You will never see me again and even if you did you wouldn't recognise me

about

The events currently unfolding in Belarus are terrifying and, perhaps, miraculous.

Terrifying because the illegitimate president Aleksandr Lukashenko, known as “Europe’s last dictator”, is waging a war against his citizens in plain sight - his forces are beating, torturing, and killing peaceful protesters who are fighting for their right to honest, transparent elections. Thousands of people were arrested.

Miraculous because the largest act of solidarity in Belarusian history is being conducted without coordination, leadership, or even an internet connection on the first days after elections. Kilometer-long chains of women in white with flowers are blocking security forces from continuing their violent suppression of entirely peaceful protestors. Factory workers on strike are having their lost wages supplemented by charitable contributions. And everywhere a spirit of joy, pride, and hope permeates this movement, despite the overwhelming repression and force with which they have been met.

While Belarusians have real hope for a victory of the righteous, they need your support, your help, and your awareness.

The aim of this international compilation is to show solidarity with these brave Belarusians and collect money for the victims of repression. Funds will be sent directly to Belarus Solidarity Foundation - one of several foundations currently helping Belarus. There is no time to wait — they desperately need our help now.
