Julian Assange: UK Breaking International Law


Julian Assange has now been locked up in the UK's maximum security prison, Belmarish, going onto two years. He is in solitary confinement, meaning, lock down for 23 hours, with 1 hour for exercise. According to the UN articles of what constitutes torture, this is one of the most egregious type, with no contact with any human beings, and only an hour of sunlight, that will eventually drive a mind insane. And according to recent reports coming from those who visited the man, his health and faculties are failing. The UK government is carrying out this torture on Julian Assange with the intent of breaking his spirit, and this is a documented international crime against humanity. The UK should be brought before the Hague (International war crimes court) on these charges, but are not. Why?

The reason Assange is in prison in the first place is the charge of aiding Chelsea Manning, allegedly, hacking into classified military files, and exposing American war crimes in Afghanistan, At the moment, Manning is in jail on contempt charges for refusing to answer questions to a Grand Jury. These are trumped up charges, as Manning has already spent 7 years in a military prison because of these crimes. This is a new attempt by the current Trump administration to silence whistle blowers and publishers, releasing sensitive information, including the war crimes of the United States of America.

The UK is holding Julian Assange for the US, and at the same time, committing crimes of their own. From the beginning, the US and their intelligence agencies have been spreading false information about Wikileaks and Julian Assange. Unfortunately this propaganda has worked. But to hold a “political prisoner”, deny his right to meet with his lawyers, (only permitting two meetings since in Belmarish), is another crime, and is certainly against the UK justice system. That said, the UK, like Australia, has become a mere vassal state of the US. We do what we're told.

The US has been committing war crimes since they dropped two Atom bombs on Japan. After the formation of NSC 68, in 1948, the creation of the CIA, etc., war crimes has been a constant in American foreign policy. The latest war crime that we know about, was the assassination of a Iranian general, Soleimani, while travelling to Baghdad on a peace mission. This brought the world to the brink of war. Now Trump's lies he's putting aside, claiming it doesn't matter if the Iranian was an imminent threat, we did it anyway. The US and the UK are committing war crimes in plain sight, and the MSM, for the most part, is right behind them. How can we allow these evil actions to continue as a people?

The central problem is that all the main stream news outlets, including those who published the Wikileaks revelations, have been attacking Assange, and promoting the lies that the intelligence community has asked them to spread. In a few words, the attack on Julian Assange is an attack on the US constitution, that is, Freedom of the press. If Julian goes down, this sets a precedent, the rest of the “free press” go down to...and every news outlet will become state sponsored, like the Soviet Union, in their hey day. No real news, simply state propaganda.

Many independent news pundits have been screaming from the roof tops about Julian Assange. However, the MSM, like the good little corporate/state funded apparatuses they are, remain silent, or even worse, spread disinformation, like, for example: Julian Assange works for the Russians. Don't get me started on that Russia-gate bandwagon, CIA sponsored fiasco.

The UK is actually committing crimes against their own justice system, by keeping Assange away from his lawyers, and committing torture on the man, against International Law. And no one, except a few noteworthy journalists, public intellectuals and many enlightened people around the world, has said a damn thing.

As said above, the UK, from the behest of the US government, are committing crimes against humanity, as well as crimes against their own justice system. And many, including the British people, are not saying a damn thing about it.

Our governments are committing crimes around the world. The US, UK, Australia, and Julian Assange, a man who enlightened us to this egregious behaviour is in prison, denied due process and tortured.

These elites in power, and their sleazy mouth pieces, the MSM, need to be held accountable.
