"They’re just squeezing and squeezing this man as hard as they can for as long as they can get away with to keep him silent and make an example of him to show what happens when journalists reveal unauthorized information about the empire. Just like Gaza, the persecution of Julian Assange makes a lie of everything the US and its western allies claim to stand for, and reveals the cruel face of tyranny beneath the mask of liberal democracy."
Just like what they are doing to J6er prisoners! They are setting an example that this is what will happen to you if you protest an illegitimate and rigged election from now on! They know who they want to install in November: Gavin Newsom and Big Mike Obama as President and Vice President! The Government knows that We, the People of the United States, don't want that, but the Government's attitude is who cares what the people want! Both are corrupt political parties, by the way!
Protests have been held by several groups of little toads outside Belmarsh prison every weekend for years, there's been some high profile human chains around the Houses of Parliament and the American Embassy and there's now a near constant presence outside the High Court.
If Assange is extradited this is going to get extremely intense.
I’m glad to know that. I was referring to the judges and the people in power who could stop this miscarriage of justice but who have been complicit in his imprisonment.
fwiw, Petraeus also enabled his mistress to access a lot of classified information when she was writing a puff piece biography of him I don't remember his "punishment", it was some slap on the wrist.
Next week I will be interviewing Julian’s brother Gabriel. Please watch out for my piece and share as wide as possible. As for the Biden Administration and their relentless pursuit of Julian - when Biden passes there’ll be a spot in hell reserved for him and his criminal cartel.
Instead of hoping for hell to do our job,let’s get the Biden Administration to focus on the criminal charges they so rightly deserve. 18 U.S. Code § 1091 is the statute that incorporated the Genocide Convention in US criminal law. Members of this administration shouldn't go a single day without having this statute in their faces, up front and center at every protest at every meeting, press conference, briefing, and trips home and abroad.
They may feel they are immune now, but let's get them considering what is possible when they leave office, given they have set the precedent of charging former presidents. They should have visions of prison all the days of their lives. Let us find the way.
It’s like taxes. The Queen of Mean, Leona Helmsley (nee Rosenthal) said “ We don't pay taxes; only the little people pay taxes" She disinherited her grandchildren for not bowing deeply enough. At least the money was earned by her husband Harry.
This is Obama, Clinton's, Soros, Gates, and the rest! Joe doesn't even know where he is at, and there are times that the person they put out in public doesn't even look like Joe Biden, looks like he has a mask on to look like Brandon! If you look at movies where Hollywood made actors look like old people and young people you will see they do a great job of disguising people's looks!
Watching Biden and his attendants, Blinken, Sullivan and Kirby, makes me wish there were a heaven and hell. They, together with the neo-con entourage, belong there.
And in this the Australian government is complicit. They could have sent a top notch team of lawyers to defend Assange (like South Africa did at the ICJ) to signal to the Americans that they (Australia) will be putting in their weight politically because, by now, we all know this is a political game rather than a legal case.
The news about Assange this morning was no surprise but it is heartbreaking for his near and dear ones and for all who supported his just cause. US assurances won't be worth the paper it's written on. Assange is being used as a warning and a lesson for any others brave enough to go against the empire. A political prisoner denied justice and kept locked up for years. Was the regime change in Ecuador -which allowed Assange to be dragged out of the embassy by UK police - just a coincidence?
His persecution is the venting of anger and revenge by the US ( just as they will take revenge from Iran - via their proxy Israel - for taking their embassy staff hostage during the Revolution ).
Australia, UK and other countries involved in this injustice haven't covered themselves in glory either. Successive Australian governments played dumb for a long time and at last when Labor pleaded Assange's case, what if anything has been achieved.
All atrocities of empire chillingly hang together - the incarceration of Assange, war crimes, how vassal states are diminished, and most brutal of all a genocide.
In America to tell the truth is to lie. The country and all its so called allies are these days sucked into an insidious Kafkaesque paradox from which it seems almost impossible to escape. The idea that truth is indivisible and therefore cannot recognize itself is a lie designed to blind everyone to the actual fact that the truth will set them free. If truth is to be suppressed then it will not be long before it is defended at the barricades
But he pardoned the Jared “the Weasel” Kushner’s father, who did time for hiring a prostitute to seduce his sister’s husband so he could humiliate her, jeopardize her marriage, shame any nieces or nephews and cause her anguish. Just out of spite. Similar to Clinton pardoning Marc Rich, the Israeli businessman and crook.
Priorities. Sort of like the poor duped fools who insisted till the end that Trump Had A Plan to leave Syria or whatever.
Did Trump lose his special signing pen? Is there no Staples near DC? Were his lucky Underoos still in the wash and Trump can't do that sort of thing if he doesn't have his Superman Underoos on?
I don't want to get into a pissing contest with you Feral, I think we agree on most things, but it (seems) that you might be watching too much MSNBC. I've never been a Trump supporter, but I'll damn sure take him over murderer Joe Biden. Jill Stein, Cornel West don't stand a chance in hell. RFK Jr. MIGHT. Sad situation we have here, but it is what it is.
spread here. The two-party system is not written into the constitution, it is an evolution of power distribution. The idea that a voter must decide “the lesser of two evils” in order to be a responsible citizen participating in democracy is cynical and absurd—vote for the representative whom you believe best suited to actually represent you!
One, among many pieces of evidence the US government (all three branches and the deep state) are now corrupt beyond any reasonable doubt. The US Constitution might as well go up in smoke with the corrupt clowns now running the country.
The US Constitution has gone up in smoke. Because “we the people“ suck. There’s no party at fault there is no media entity at fault, there is no foreign antagonist at fault. It is squarely on the shoulders of the not well informed and educated electorate. Obviously, you’ve done your part……
No. There’s millions of examples of that. Prosecuting someone who broke and the government computers is not one of them. It’s not about what he published. You don’t understand this. You probably shouldn’t comment on it if you want a thing called credibility.
aligning oneself with the empire narrative that someone publishing leaked evidence of governmental war crimes and other shenanigans, broke into government computers might be an example of how these narratives corrupt otherwise credible people.
I should’ve mentioned, I’m not aligning myself with them. I am agreeing with their prosecution of Syd charges. There is no hidden agenda or otherwise disingenuous bad faith here. If that same information would have been gained by legal means, I promise you, there would’ve been no prosecution. your Russian talking points are old and hardly carry a suspension of belief to anyone with knowledge of the subject.
Critical thinkers already knew our government is and was corrupt. That’s not relevant to cyber crime. Now, due to your impressive level of stupidity, I’m gonna have to block you.
My letter referencing a weak Prime Minister in Australia.
"If this now obviously feeble and weak Labour government allows Julian Assange to become even more of a plaything for US political gain, it will indicate to all voters in this country that we are managed by a weak and totally subservient government, controlled in all we do by a corrupted, genocide supporting US administration, a country now being seen by all for what it has become since 1963.
If you consider that cost of living, housing, health and other matters are the only deciders in the next election in 2025, then think again. The return of Julian Assange to freedom is equally as important to so many in this country as is the need to extract our country from the AUKUS shambles and American subservience.
Be aware, Prime Minister and take some action for Julian Assange, NOW."
***
Of course, as Australia is in the middle of the football season, he may not even get to read it. Such is the importance he and his government have shown to this criminal American action.
While on the subject of Prime Ministers in these White countries of the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, not-so-affectionately known as "The Anglos", (all of who support the killing of thousands in Gaza by the way), back in the days of US murder and mayhem, in other words the US war environments (plural), all had troops voluntarily assisting the Americans in Korea, Syria, Vietnam, Afghanistan and anywhere else where the US was pursuing its hegemonic objectives.
All we like sheep.
All suffer from the disease called US / Zionist subservience, the "just whistle and we'll be there, Joe" syndrome. As a result Julian may not even get a thought from any of them, all with newspapers so many years ago in the days of "truth in reporting", extremely happy to print Julian's Wikileaks reports, one after the other, word for word.
But now, hypocrites.
Slippery opportunists, one and all, but all of them now no better than tame little ladies of the night to a once-upon-a-time respected American man, seriously suffering from low levels of testosterone, suffering also from anxiety, depression and fatigue with decency and all credibility lost...... by any possible measure.
With all due respect, the australian PM already knows full well that he is an American catamite. He doesn't care, as long as his subservience to his American Master is what allows him to retain his position. And he cares nothing about australia or australians.
"They’re just squeezing and squeezing this man as hard as they can for as long as they can get away with to keep him silent and make an example of him to show what happens when journalists reveal unauthorized information about the empire.

Well said, Caitlin.

Holding him hostage cruelly until he is so weak he dies, so very sad
He'd be better off dead than subjected to what has been done and will be done to him.
I just re-stacked the last line. Agree.
It’s truly sickening. And the little toadie Brits have shown themselves to be as unethical as they are spineless.
Protests have been held by several groups of little toads outside Belmarsh prison every weekend for years, there's been some high profile human chains around the Houses of Parliament and the American Embassy and there's now a near constant presence outside the High Court.
If Assange is extradited this is going to get extremely intense.
I’m glad to know that. I was referring to the judges and the people in power who could stop this miscarriage of justice but who have been complicit in his imprisonment.
Hiya, yes I realised that SW but referred to us as little grumpy toads for effect, it's quite a good image!
Our politicians are craven, pathetic lapdogs of the US permanent state and the war industry profiteers who control it; it's beyond embarrassing.
always perfidious albion...
The vicious crime of embarrassment. Assange has already served more time than the average convicted murderer in the US. It is completely disgusting.
Here is an actual cable at Wikileaks:
https://search.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/10SANAA4_a.html
❚
Obama's acceptance speech in Oslo for the Nobel Peace Prize was December 10th, 2009.
On December 17th, 2009 Obama ordered an attack upon Yemen targeting someone
**not yet** on the official terrorist list. Illegal.
❚
Obama missed his target but killed dozens of women and children instead.
❚
Obama then sought to cover up his war crime with the help of Yemen leaders.
He bribed them with more US weapons and they continued to claim that it was their own Yemen forces that had killed all the women and children.
❚
Also, General Patraeus conspired to break the law by going around Congress.
In the leaked cable the Yemen leaders asked if weapons could come from
the stockpile of weapons the US had supplied to Saudi Arabia or the UAE
if Congress did not give "quick approval". Patraeus said that he was already
in discussion with Saudi Arabia on the matter.

The real criminals are walking free while Assange is being tortured by the process.
fwiw, Petraeus also enabled his mistress to access a lot of classified information when she was writing a puff piece biography of him I don't remember his "punishment", it was some slap on the wrist.
My disgust has no boundaries for US & UK! Free Julian Now!
The process is the punishment.
The fact that the death penalty exists in the USA should be an automatic barrier to anyone being extradited there.

Nothing will happen. Zilch. These fuckers never receive their due.
Finster's Second Law readeth thusly:
There is no such thing as law. There is only context.
The longer form of this can phrased such:
Laws are for little people. Policy is for The People Who Matter, because policy determines when the law is applied, to whom and to what degree.
It’s like taxes. The Queen of Mean, Leona Helmsley (nee Rosenthal) said “ We don't pay taxes; only the little people pay taxes" She disinherited her grandchildren for not bowing deeply enough. At least the money was earned by her husband Harry.
This is Obama, Clinton's, Soros, Gates, and the rest! Joe doesn't even know where he is at, and there are times that the person they put out in public doesn't even look like Joe Biden, looks like he has a mask on to look like Brandon! If you look at movies where Hollywood made actors look like old people and young people you will see they do a great job of disguising people's looks!
Watching Biden and his attendants, Blinken, Sullivan and Kirby, makes me wish there were a heaven and hell. They, together with the neo-con entourage, belong there.
Final desperate days of the U.S. empire.
I disagree with the ongoing cries by many that the U.S. is on it's deathbed. With Gaza, Ukraine and Assange, seems they're doing just fine.
Not a quick death, but still happening, in my opinion.
Not desperate at all.
And in this the Australian government is complicit. They could have sent a top notch team of lawyers to defend Assange (like South Africa did at the ICJ) to signal to the Americans that they (Australia) will be putting in their weight politically because, by now, we all know this is a political game rather than a legal case.
Screw lawyers, screw laws. The United States and its british catamite routinely ignore both when convenient at the moment.
Australia could have put the submarine purchase on hold until Assange is turned loose. That would have gotten some attention, right quick.
An "assurance" from the US is not worth the lickspittle it is expressed with.
Hear hear!
The news about Assange this morning was no surprise but it is heartbreaking for his near and dear ones and for all who supported his just cause. US assurances won't be worth the paper it's written on. Assange is being used as a warning and a lesson for any others brave enough to go against the empire.

Well dinner is pretty important.
One more kick in the ass by Joe Biden before he's ejected in November. That fucker can't go soon enough.
Keep in mind that Trump had four years to pardon Assange. He did not.
But he pardoned the Jared “the Weasel” Kushner’s father, who did time for hiring a prostitute to seduce his sister’s husband so he could humiliate her, jeopardize her marriage, shame any nieces or nephews and cause her anguish. Just out of spite. Similar to Clinton pardoning Marc Rich, the Israeli businessman and crook.

The reason to vote third party is not because the third party candidate is at all likely to win.
Exactly! We’re not working a point

Where in my comment was Donald Trump mentioned?
Yes, I know. I also know he wasn't responsible for permitting a fucking genocide. Not a Trump fan, but I'll take him any day over Joe Biden.
Yemen.
To be replaced by just another Empire Zionist loving stooge no doubt.
No doubt.
The US's treatment of Assange is proof that the US government is corrupt beyond correction.
One, among many pieces of evidence the US government (all three branches and the deep state) are now corrupt beyond any reasonable doubt. The US Constitution might as well go up in smoke with the corrupt clowns now running the country.
