The UK a mere Vassal State to USA

Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, killing thousands across the globe, prisons in many countries, have released their non-violent inmates. The reason for this is institutions with people living in close quarters, are more likely to be infected. In the UK, Julian Assange, a political prisoner, was refused release, despite the fact he is a non-violent offender. This action reveals how much the UK is beholden to the US regime.

Assange is currently attending extradite hearings as a defendant, arguing whether to stand trial in the US under the espionage act.

If you have followed these hearings at all, you realise that it's a set up, a kangaroo court, and based on UK law, a “political prisoner” cannot be extradited. The hearings will continue in May 2020.

Assange is being held in Belmarsh prison, the UK's most hardest, as it holds England's worse of the worst: rapist, murderers and paedophiles. Julian Assange is not a dangerous terrorist, but a publisher who released damning evidence of US war crimes in Iraq. He shouldn't be treated this way, but the UK government, in accordance with US orders, have kept him locked up in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, and has experienced other unspeakable treatment in order to break the man's spirit.

As I've discussed before on this Blog, during Assange's hearing, he was locked in a glass cage like a dangerous serial killer, stripped searched about 11 times, and could not confer with his defence attorneys. Added to this, he has been given little or no time to prepare a case, and refused to read the legal briefs. During the hearings, his defence was constantly interrupted by the judge, revealing the judge's bias in the case. In a word, these hearings are a farce, and when asking any barrister aware of UK jurisprudence, will tell you the same thing.

Generally, when the US government tells other countries to jump, the overall response is always, “How High?” This was more than evident in 2018, when the US announced Juan Guaido, a man unknown in the US, the true president of Venezuela. Really, no one around the planet had ever heard of him. But like true, little vassal states, many countries came into line with this announcement. Of course, first it was the UK, France, Germany, Canada and a week later, Australia came into line Nicolas Maduro was the elected president, who acquired over 80% of the vote. Rather than going into details about this on-going regime-change efforts by the US in Venezuela, my point is no matter the facts, the UK will follow American foreign policy, without so much as blinking an eye.

The UK is bending the knee to US empire to such an extent, that their willing to keep a political prisoner in solitary confinement, risking his life to a pandemic, to satisfy their American leaders.

The arrogance of the US is beyond the pale of all rationality. Might makes right, and you better follow or else. The United Kingdom certainly has kissed the bottom of US empire.
