Listen to a reading of this article: Seven progressive Democrats from the House of Representatives have signed a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland calling for the Biden administration to drop the charges against Julian Assange and cease seeking his extradition.
"The issue is not that Assange's persecution makes the US look bad, the issue is that it proves the US is bad."
This. This is the undeniable fact, the elephant in the room that cannot be denied. Or in other words, "By their fruits you shall know them." The US has done some very bad things. No amount of postering or denying them will erase them from human memory. Every day Julian Assange spends in captivity further worsens the US's reputation. The only way the we can redeem ourselves is by doing the right thing now, today, by releasing Assange from these trumped up charges and continuing to act morally from this point forward. Only time will repair our reputation and heal the wounds that we've inflicted on the world.
The key word in the letter: "stated". America's stated values of press freedom; then there's its stated value of equality of opportunity; of freedom of speech; of the right to privacy. Lies, all lies; or it minimum, steaming piles of excrement. One need go no further than these scams -- these mismatches between proclamation and actuality -- to know for certain that the US is unfit to lead any global renaissance. Then you lump all the economic and actual violence on top of that hypocrisy and the judgment against America is overwhelming. It's going to be painful and I wish I belonged elsewhere, but it's really time to get the hell off the stage, America.
The US has NEVER in its history had any moral authority. In order to bury something after its death, it first has to be born. America's moral authority did not even reach the zygote stage of development.
According to the rules of 5th generation warfare, the country which captures the moral high ground will win the support of the majority of people and consequently win the war. Misinformation can be used to fool people for a long time but the truth is eventually exposed.
The USA has not only lost the moral high ground, it is now considered to be an evil empire by most people of the world.
Individual Psychopaths, by their very nature, gravitate to leadership positions in "GOVERNMENT" and in CORPORATIONS. It's common knowledge that the character and personality of an institution is a direct reflection from of its leadership. The complete immorality and cold-hearted lack of compassion or compunction displayed for the past 150 years by the psychopathic institution called the U.S. "GOVERNMENT" and its like-minded operatives is just now enjoying its persecution of JULIAN ASSANGE....just as it did in IRAQU at Abu Gharibe prison..
Caitlin - FYI, listen to Prof. Mearsheimer speak to Australian Center For Independent Studies on "new world Order" and Australia's upcoming choice to join US or China - he says some interesting things - don't know when this discussion occurred
Even if Assange were to be released today, the Empire still has already made an example out of him.
In terms of simple humanity, the US fails at home and abroad.

The USA government is a criminal cabal. Why would anyone expect it to have any morals?

Something that never lived cannot die.
“US Moral Authority Is Dead And Buried”
. . . Caitlin, pardon me . . . but review your history . . .
it died four hundred & seventeen years ago when
Jamestown colony inmates
- sent by the Virginia Company, a British trading company -
set ground on the “New World”.
Ask the indigenous First Peoples if want want corroboration.

To maintain the 1984 system of endless war, peace and prosperity must be defeated.
