How can you feign anger over others’ attacks on a free press when you imprison Assange as punishment for his vital revelations about U.S. officials?

Continuing his world tour doling out righteous lectures to the world, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday proclaimed — in a sermon you have to hear to believe — that few things are more sacred in a democracy than “independent journalism.” ...

That the Biden administration is such a stalwart believer in the sanctity of independent journalism and is devoted to defending it wherever it is threatened would come as a great surprise to many, many people. Among them would be Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks and the person responsible for breaking more major stories about the actions of top U.S. officials than virtually all U.S. journalists employed in the corporate press combined.

Currently, Assange is sitting in a cell in the British high-security Belmarsh prison because the Biden administration is not only trying to extradite him to stand trial on espionage charges for having published documents embarrassing to the U.S. Government and the Democratic Party but also has appealed a British judge's January ruling rejecting that extradition request. The Biden administration is doing all of this, noted The New York Times, despite the fact that “human rights and civil liberties groups had asked the [administration] to abandon the effort to prosecute Mr. Assange, arguing that the case . . . could establish a precedent posing a grave threat to press freedoms” — press freedoms, exactly the value which Blinken just righteously spent the week celebrating and vowing to uphold. ...

It is hardly new for the U.S. to dole out lectures which the rest of the world recognizes as complete farces. In 2015, then-President Obama was prancing around India giving lectures on the importance of human rights, only to cut short his trip to fly to Saudi Arabia, where he met numerous top officials of the U.S. Government to pay homage to Saudi King Abdullah, their long-time close and highly repressive ally whose totalitarian regime Obama did so much to fortify.


This is one of Trump's failings as well. He should have pardoned both Assange and Snowden.

They are just mascots for a criminal group.


Most ironic part is how they kept the land and removed the Indian in the name of equity or some similar shit...

I will also note that Trump did not pardon him. Instead, Trump pardoned mostly useless individuals.


Yep I saw that, Tucker on FOX even talked about it. For some reason Mitch McConnel told Trump that he'll likely be impeached if he pardons JA. It's very eye opening that such importance is put on not pardoning him coming from swamp creature faggot McConnel who really should be worried about other things and not concerned with JA.

He shouldn't have ran way way way back when he did. He should have faced all of his accusers, and blew everyone up with the truth bombs.

Don't forget, way back in 2012 or when ever it was he ran from the US charges, and the bogus rape charges. We still had some journalist institutions that still felt it their job to report the news. That includes, the other side of the story in cases like these. He could have brought down the Biden administration had not ran from them .

Trump is proof, if you lean into these creeps and face their accusations head on, their counter case against you, always disintegrates.

I don't know. There's multiple reasons. France wanted it for some reason, it prevented Qaddafi from introducing the new gold dinar which could have competed against the US dollar, Libya's gold was all stolen, and it opened up the floodgates for massive immigration into Europe.

That's the results of it. I don't know of any pipeline, but that could have been part of the deal.

Sounds like legit reasons. The flood of illegals is an undesirable side effect, of course, but the rest is solid. I mean, more gold in your country's coffers is better than less gold in your country coffers, amirite?

But did they really hold him down to inject? I think it's unlikely. He most probably did not resist. Big, big mistake on his part.

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.

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:

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.
