The most famous river in the world is the river that flows from present day Kenya through Ethiopia all the way to Egypt. This river we know as the Nile. A historical lie, the true name of the river is Ghion. If that name sounds familiar, it's because the Ghion river is the second river mentioned in Genesis.
Thus the raison d'etre of the Ghion Journal, our aim is to discuss history, politics, culture, faith and love in a way that is unifying and in the process serve to counter the divisive and derisive nature of the age we live in. Ghion Journal aims to reclaim journalism from the clutches of a corporate owned main stream media whose sole aim is not to edify and inform but to misinform and profit from our misfortune.
Where the MSM has abandoned their principle, Ghion Journal—along with our fellow citizen journalists and independent reporters—steps into the breach to speak truth to power and more importantly convey stories and articles that speak to our common struggles and common hopes. We make no secrets about it, we are against the powerful and stand with the people.
Ghion Journal is powered by and through the people. We will NEVER take corporate money, corporations are not people and corporations are not welcome in this space. We walk instead with the people and reside among the people; we do not pontificate from a distance in the comforts of ivory towers. Our mission is to redress historical lies, to reclaim responsible journalism, and always treat our readers as thinking adults instead of feeding unthinking followers empty calories of outrage and sensationalism.
We are not partisan, if we have a dog in the fight it's the underdogs throughout the world. Join us and be with us, we are always on a quest to find our "second"— as in the second person who will give wings to our audacious hopes. The second person, just like the seconds of the clock, are infinite because there is always another person (second) who can join us and walk with us on our journey. This is how change happens, one person dreams up an idea but it's the second person who turns a dream into a movement.
What we are writing is a revolution in the making, not a revolution of guns and violence, but a revolution of the mind and the heart. And this revolution starts with the most powerful weapon of them all, the power of words imbued by love and it is words we keep writing daily. We are depending on you the reader to take the word and plant them into the hearts of the world. #GhionJournal
