ASSANGE 2021

Four times this year before what happened this week I’ve written about Assange:

Navalny or Assange 26 January 2021

He publicly and skillfully exposed the corruption and criminality of the rulers.   They then framed him and one way or another tried to discredit, delegitimize and kill him.  He then as a result quite understandably “skipped bail”.   They then arrested him.   Many worldwide have protested for his release and vindication.  

It’s not one or the other, it’s both Navalny and Assange.    And what needs saying the most is how inexcusably duplicitous and hypocritical the Americans and the Brits are, having in fact in many ways treated Assange far far worse for far far longer than the Russians have treated Navalny.   Yet the Americans and Brits are loudly screaming and manipulating for Navalny’s release while doing the very opposite when it comes to Assange.  

Our Trial of the Century 7 June 2021

There are Trials and Legal Proceedings that go down in history. In some cases very positively – like Brown vs Board of Education. But most are remembered for their infamy – like Dreyfus, Dred Scott, Daniel Ellsberg. The most meaningful trial and legal proceeding underway for nearly a decade now is Julian Assange. Yes it is not hyperbole to call if Assange “The Trial of the Century”.

This is not the place to go into the details of why this trial is so critical; there’s plenty of information about that for those who seek it. Like all such matters, the individual is a scape-goat for something much bigger. In this case the real goal of the American Empire is to frighten and intimidate all journalists and whistle-blowers, worldwide, to enable them to keep their “classified” secrets (i.e. in many cases crimes) from reaching the public.

What does need to be emphasized is that Obama needs to be remembered and shamed for what he did when he was responsible, with Biden at his side. And Biden now needs to be damned in today’s new circumstances, now that he is is fully responsible, if he does not relent.

When and if Assange gets out, what they have done to him is truly horrific and if at all possible he should find a way to bring suit against the U.S. It is government officials who need to be put on notice they can never do such things again….or else.

Damn both Biden and MSM 7 July 2021

Biden has just blew it with the unexpected opportunity to stop persecuting Julian Assange. If he needed an excuse to stop pushing for Assange’s extradition from the U.K. he had a great one — just days ago the top witness against Assange not only admitted he fabricated everything, but that he did so in coordination with the FBI and CIA!    Damn Biden that he failed us all, and the Constitution itself, once again!

The so-called Main Stream Media — the big corporate titans including the major broadcast and cable networks as well as the major newspapers — are to be damned even more. From the start, for so many reasons, they should themselves have been damning the USG for hounding, setting up, defaming, lying, persecuting, and torturing, Assange. When the major media so badly omit, distort, and misinform the American public it should be of tremendous concern to the whole society.

The credibility of American politicians, corporate media, and the justice system all may be at an all-time low — and rightly so. The Assange Trial of the Century — designed to intimidate and frighten all journalists and insider whistle-blowers from reporting on purposefuly “classified” American crimes — has seriously tarnised and exposed the perpetrators.

American values are being badly trampled and increasingly undermined by those who are suppose to protect them. The Assange Trial of the Century is one example, but a very telling one. The injustice by basic institutions of the American Empire with regard to Assange is indeed frightening; for this situation is not about the past, it is about the future. As our polity experiences it’s values further unraveling through such blatant duplicity and hypocrisy, expect to come more and growing forms of retribution and rebellion — both domestically and internationally.

Julian Assange Week Ahead 23 October 2021

The week ahead is JULIAN ASSANGE WEEK. His own personal future and in many other ways our own is going to be decided in the UK, itself in so many ways an extension of the U.S. and CIA.

The matter of Julian Assange is a critically important issue for journalistic freedom in our world today, as well as the most important pubic matter for restraining the imperial abuse and criminality of the CIA and associated clandestine organizations. Decades ago they tried so hard to put Daniel Ellsberg in prison in order to cower and block American journalism — they almost succeeded. Since then they have found many other ways to infiltrate and control. Now the matter of Julian Assange is more important than any other with tremendous historic global ramifications.

This year the Nobel Committee decided to give the Peace Prize to two journalists. Whatever the merits of the winners the prize clearly should have gone to Julian Assange. But we all know how badly the Nobel has been tarnished in the past and now it has been tarnished once again.

And when it comes to Joe Biden and his Democratic Party, they deserve to be severely condemned for not ending the gross Assange travesty, all the more so as they actually had an easy way out when they came to power earlier this year.

A week ago last Saturday quite a creative event was held in Washington DC at the historic Tabard Inn from where it was broadcast online. It can be watched from the link above. Warning it’s two and a half hours. Additional warning, though the event itself was thoughtfully put together, the video was not — you may want to skip ahead to 1 hour 24 minutes where John Kiriakou speaks followed by Max Blumenthal and Lee Camp. What those three especially have to say is if considerable importance.

Despite the poor video, despite the organizers not making a 15-minute summary highlights as they should have immediately done, despite the incestuousness of the event without the major advertising and promotion campaign that should have been pursued, we all have the obligation to be aware and concerned about this important event last weekend and the upcoming Julian Assange Week. Assange has been personally grossly persecuted, and according to official U.N. documents psychologically tortured for so many years. But the real purpose for destroying Assange is to keep all of us from knowing the horrendous details of what is being done in our name as Americans and to keep other journalists, academics, and experts afraid and under control.
