"Don't just rely on the headline"/ How the reader can distinguish news from manipulation
You don't have to be a journalist to protect yourself from...

On the 40th day of the grand protest for a "new Albania", the hero of free speech, these eagles, who were not defeated by extreme heat, nor by the world football competition, are facing the forties of the infamous power, contemptuous of the communist renaissance, with denigrations, insults and hateful divisions commanded by Prime Minister Edi Rama, towards the national demands of the peaceful protesters against the Stalinist political establishment, installed in Albania from 1990 onwards.
A few days ago, he took Dritëro Agolli's poem "A Madman Makes a Mad Country". And he labeled freedom fighters as crazy, when on the contrary, a madman holds power!
Every day of protests, the Prime Minister insults them: crows, boulevard crows, all the propaganda of his government is denigration, insult, after not having enough of "fuck you" in the world press, he continues with 800,000 fake addresses that deal with the denigration of peaceful and freedom-loving protesters, who with their mission have exalted Albania in the world arena, presenting a different Albania, an Albania with culture, a peaceful Albania, an Albania that knows how to defend its freedom, and not that Albania of drugs, not that Albania of organized crime, the ruler of democratic institutions!
All of Stalinist propaganda, dressed in democratic garb, was shattered by these good and intelligent Albanians in 40 days before the democratic world and exposed the nakedness of its propaganda.
And the peaceful protesters, on the 40th day of insults and denigration of the young Enverists, respond with the brilliant and timely poetry of the martyred poet Havzi Nela, written in 1977 in the infamous Burrel prison:
It's better to leave this world.
It's better to let worms eat me.
It's better to become stone and dirt
when the wicked start insulting me!The Albanian ruler has not read the poems of this brave hero because his party hanged the poet in August 1988 when Europe was collapsing the Berlin Wall, but that bright-minded poet predicted the collapse of the dictatorship and warned that death with honor is more honorable than being ruled by a villain!
Better oak, grass or field
Better grass, grazing cattle,
Better no one knows you
When the villain is sitting on your head!
The black ravens, the crows of communism, have launched an attack on the missionaries of the new Albania, and to this attack of the Halabaks, the defenders of the executioners of communism, the missionaries respond with the poetry of the martyr poet who hanged himself for a new Albania, for this Albania that Albanians are fighting against the Stalinist Albania of Edi Rama.
The new Albania is an unstoppable mission of the Albanians and a dictatorial power, led by a political force that has caused Albanians to lose human lives, suffer hundreds of thousands of political imprisonments, and depopulate the country of Albanians, can never become eternal rulers and prohibit freedom and democracy for Albanians!
The verses of the martyred poet, written 49 years ago in the gulag of the infamous Burrel prison, are today a guide for the missionaries of the new Albania for 40 days, and an alarm bell for dictators who want to hold power by force!
The peace of missionaries has won over the power of dictators! This is what the world history of democratic revolutions shows us. Enough is enough, Edi Rama, Albania is not your pawn, but the homeland of all Albanians. The new Albania is dawning with sunshine, the old one is disappearing in darkness.
