NBC News Uses Ex-FBI Official Frank Figliuzzi to Urge Assange's Extradition, Hiding His Key Role
The most dangerous, and under-discussed, development in corporate media is the spate of ex-security state agents now employed to deliver the "news."

Assange had a hit out on him, anyway, and may only have survived because of custody. Some people think he is already dead and the Assange stuff is just more distraction theater around the ghost.

ASSANGE: Trump had no connection to Russia. When foreign companies, governments wanted a State Dept decision in their favor they donated to the Clinton Foundation

https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-neoliberal-war-on-dissent-in?source=patrick.net

The decade-long repression of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, standing alone, demonstrates how grave neoliberal attacks on dissent have become. Many are aware of key parts of this repression — particularly the decade-long effective detention of Assange — but have forgotten or, due to media malfeasance, never knew several of the most extreme aspects.

While the Obama DOJ under Attorney General Eric Holder failed to find evidence of criminality after convening a years-long Grand Jury investigation, the then-Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), succeeded in pressuring financial services companies such as MasterCard, Visa, PayPal and Bank of America to terminate WikiLeaks’ accounts and thus banish them from the financial system, choking off their ability to receive funds from supporters or pay their bills. Lieberman and his neocon allies also pressured Amazon to remove WikiLeaks from its hosting services, causing the whistleblower group to be temporarily offline. All of that succeeded in crippling WikiLeaks’ ability to operate despite being charged with no crime: indeed, as the DOJ admitted, it could not prove that the group committed any crimes, yet this extra-legal punishment was nonetheless meted out.

Those tactics pioneered against WikiLeaks — excluding dissenters from the financial system and coercing tech companies to deny them internet access without a whiff of due process — have now become standard weapons. Trudeau's government seizes and freezes bank accounts with no judicial process. The "charity” fundraising site GoFundMe first blocked the millions of dollars raised for the truckers and announced it would redirect those funds to other charities, then refunded the donations when people pointed out, rightly, that their original plan amounted to a form of stealing. When an alternative fundraising site, GiveSendGo, raised millions more for the truckers, Canadian courts blocked its distribution. And it was just over a year ago when Democratic politicians such as Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) successfully pressured tech monopolies Google and Apple to remove Parler from its stores and then pressured Amazon to remove the social media site from its servers, at exactly the time the social media alternative became the single most-downloaded app in America. (This morning we published a new video report on Rumble that traces the emergence of this new anti-dissent tactic first pioneered on WikiLeaks and now widely used against dissent generally: “Banishment from the Financial System: the War on Dissent"). ...

It was Assange's reporting on and denouncing of violence by the Spanish government against its own citizens that was the final cause of Ecuador's decision to rescind its asylum. The Spanish government made clear to Ecuador how indignant they were that Assange was publicizing their abuses. It was just several months after the first protest movement that Ecuador announced it was cutting off Assange’s internet access, claiming the WikiLeaks founder had been "interfer[ing] with other states” — meaning speaking out on the civil liberties abuses by Madrid. And it was the following year that Ecuador, pressured by the U.S., UK and Spain, withdrew its asylum protection and allowed the London police to enter its embassy, arrest Assange, and then put him in the high-security Belmarsh prison where he has remained ever since despite being convicted of no crime other than a misdemeanor count of bail-jumping. All of this reflects, and stems from, a clear and growing Western intolerance for dissent.

The UK's Decision to Extradite Assange Shows Why The US/UK's Freedom Lectures Are a Farce
The Assange persecution is the greatest threat to Western press freedoms in years. It is also a shining monument to the fraud of American and British self-depictions.

That statue was never intended to represent liberty, or to be given to the US. US was a backup, and statue is a giant NWO symbol.

Now it makes sense why the US Govt didn’t want Julian Assange to be free despite most human rights organizations demanding his release.

Julian would have exposed the US proxy war in Ukraine and endangered another big money laundering operation for the Military Industrial elites.

I don't know it was as nice as that. I'm guessing any president who even dreamed of pardoning Assange would be saying bye-bye to a loved one. Doesn't excuse it, just saying..

it weren’t liberals who wanted to lock him up. it was Bush worshipping faggots. i remember that well.

at some point parties did a switcharoo. uniparty is real.

The uniparty is real, and it hates liberty, is pro ignorance and ultimately pro death Satan worshipping baby killing reprobates.

Makes sense as America was formed as a Republic.

Most people are robots. They just mindlessly repeat what their "news" media tells them to repeat.

Bush worshiping faggots are no different than Obama worshiping faggots - but it's the Bush worshiping faggots that have shown they can change, and they are willing to think. I would have NEVER thought I would say that 15 years ago. There is absolutely no question that "conservatives" have more diversity and critical thinking today than the shitlibs. Absolutely no question.

And yes, the uniparty is real, for people in "elected" positions, but there's a real divide on the voters themselves. It's 75% NPC's versus 25 human beings.

@"Eric Holder"

What are you talking about?

Are you referring to my disbelief about our lying, neocon, mass murdering fucker's reports on what Russia is doing? Of course I do. Neocons are no different than Libshits. Nothing they say nor their lapdog media claims can be trusted.

You think I approve of George W. Bush lying us into a war just because Julian Assange showed that Hillary Clinton was a bloodthirsty Neocon?

If I had the power, I would just kill every government official and every government employee and every intelligence agent, anybody that was a general or above, and every fucking journalist, and everybody in financial services. Now, there would be a few innocent people killed (less than 1%) but just imagine the result?

Maybe the vaccines will do this. We'll see.

Remember, these are the people you still, inexplicably, listen to:

The "staged" Bucha massacre of course. It was staged to smear innocent Mother Russia, wasn't it? Gimme the latest sceptic scoop on this one. And no tangents this time, plz.

This is easy, provide a link to the story that verifies it, and is not from AP/mainstream media/propaganda networks. Or you could take a hard dose of reality and read antiwar.com. Their only agenda is peace.

Russia isn't innocent. Quit this stupid false dichotomy.

Eric Holder says

Will you think for a moment? Just think.

How does this advantage Russia in any way? Who benefits from this propaganda? I'm using propaganda in the way Edward Bernays used it. Cui Bono?

Why did the mayor of Bucha not mention this when he announced Russia had left, why did he wait days?

Why didn't citizens record it happening capturing Russian soldiers in the act? Everybody has a camera today on their phone, that's been true for over 15 years really. I'm sure acts WERE recorded, but they wouldn't be broadcast in the United States, allowed on youtube, or facebook, or twitter if, say, the Azov Battalion did this, or the Right Sector against Russian sympathizers.

Ukraine has openly shown torture of Russian soldiers several times. Has Russia? You can find that pretty easily on youtube, facebook, and twitter.

I know what sort of news media we have. Think about Ghouta's gas attack. How did this advantage Assad? It gave the US an excuse to bomb Syria, and the US warned Assad BEFORE that chemical attack that if Assad did a chemical attack, it would invite the US into the conflict. Is Assad stupid? Are his advisors stupid? If he just wanted to indiscriminately kill people, why not use conventional weapons? Again, who benefits?

The type of propaganda we're being fed about the Ukraine war is as stupid, as mindless, and as ridiculous as it is in EVERY war. Do you truly believe this nonsense?

The US media is now claiming that Russia blew up their OWN INFRASTRUCTURE - why would they do this? Why didn't they just turn off the pipeline? Cui bono? Well, the US is going to be selling a lot more LNG to Europe now...

I seriously do not believe you are this oblivious. I don't believe you actually believe the nonsense coming out of our government. I am old enough to remember when the US media would make fun of the claims made in Pravda and Izvestia. Now, there are people like Jimmy Dore that make a living making fun of our media. It's trivial to do.

This is how gullible they expect the public to be:


original link

Do you see anything ludicrous in that? Two whistleblowers from the OPCW came forward to point out that never happened. That was in Douma, or that's what CNN claims. How can you NOT suspect our government MIGHT be lying, at this point? That was in 2018. That was 5 years ago. How can you not know what our government does at this late stage? Find that weapons of mass destruction program yet? Do you not remember when Dick Cheney was claiming that binLaden worked with Hussein to do 9/11? Do you not remember that the government, and the media was claiming that Qaddafi was taking viagra pills to rape young girls, and that the US had to bomb it to prevent a humanitarian crisis? How can you not remember?

Our media and government's lies are simply embarrassing at this point. I remember when our propaganda stood the test of time, and it didn't collapse in a couple of days, like the "Bucha massacre" did.

You have never shown your ability to think, and I'm certain you can think. I just don't believe you honestly hold the opinion you claim to hold. You're named after probably our most criminal attorney general in the United States, a man that refused to prosecute anybody in the banking sector, and said it publicly, even after massive mortgage fraud. I think you must be a troll or a glowie. Every group is infiltrated, EVERY group is. Propagandists don't get paid well, and as a result, they're not very good at their job. The main purpose of propaganda isn't to fool smart people, it's designed to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all. People are told what to believe, but they are never told why they should think that. Why should anybody believe Russia did a massacre in Bucha? Ukraine has been in civil war for over 8 years now, why should we believe their military wouldn't brutalize Russian sympathizers, when they've been doing this for nearly a decade?

Is it the high credibility of the US government and it's "news" system that causes you to uncritically believe this?

Demonstrate you can think. I KNOW you can. People in the propaganda haze, they exit, but it's a mistake to think they are stupid. They aren't, they just go down the path of least resistance, even if it's morally reprehensible to do so.

Eric Holder says

Sounds like legit reasons. The flood of illegals is an undesirable side effect, of course, but the rest is solid.

No, that's not an undesirable effect of bombing Libya. The US, for whatever reason, is actively trying to destroy Europe. I don't know why, but that's what every single one of their actions is leading toward.

The government always would rather appear to be incompetent rather than what they actually are, criminal.

Europe could put an end to the immigration problem by going against the United States, and point out that the US is creating the refugee crisis, which they are. Europe is run by traitors, they don't represent their population. It's the same in the United States. We are not governed by consent.

I'm not a glowie, nor do I play one on television, but I have to say that this is one of the most enlightening insights on the purpose of propaganda that I've come across on Patnet.I guess the propagandists really do think we're stupid ostriches whose only job is to keep our heads in the sand.

Just beware that nobody is immune from propaganda, neither you or me.

PLAUSIBLE stuff is said all the time, that is false. There's a false dichotomy between the "left" and "right" as well. Don't think you're immune, nobody is. Right now the "conservatives" are being told that there will be investigations into the FIB and CIA and other trash criminal organizations for suppressing the 1st amendment. I'm telling you, IF there is any hearings at all, it will be sham.

Remember the Durham Report? Whatever fucking happened to that? We're being told that Kari Lake MIGHT get her day in court - no she won't. Again, at best, it will be a sham.

These are forms of propaganda as well.

I remember when I was expecting George W. Bush to actually have to deal with impeachment when it was clear the evidence for the phantom weapons of mass destruction program was revealed. Nope.

richwicks says

yep, and just a bit more. don’t hold others to impossible standard of not being victim to propaganda. it gets everyone sooner or later.

in Christ we learn to forgive, and to the best of my ability i try to do that. hope this is useful.

Commendable, but I do not feel forgiveness to those who created or mandated the jab. I want justice.

You can forgive someone and sentence them to the gallows. The two are not mutually exclusive.
