A Disgrace: Julian Assange Extradition

 

The news that the UK High Court ratified Julian Assange's extradition to the United States came as a shock but indeed not a surprise. Similar to the government of Australia, the United Kingdom follows the commands of Imperialistic America like a well-trained poodle.

For centuries, the UK judicial system was something Western countries could emulate. Now, like every other branch of government, those in high places follow the orders of the Military-Industrial Complex. To be sure, it is disgraceful and a system that deserves our scorn.

As I write this, news has broken that Assange has experienced a stroke. At this stage, we don't know how severe the attack was, but its timing is appropriate considering the level of persecution the publisher has experienced over the last ten years.

What is astonishing is the number of foremost stream journalists skating around the real issue here. This is not just about one publisher. This is about press freedom. Extraditing an Australian citizen for publishing embarrassing truths about the Empire, war crimes should be frightening to anyone concerned about our humanitarian and civil rights. These "journalists" in mainstream media have often been called stenographers for the Military-Industrial Complex. Attempting to listen to these soulless fools lie to the public about Assange was absolutely painful. When you work for the "man," lying and misinforming the public is essentially your job. It's a wonder how so many people continue to take these pseudo-journalists seriously. Yet, the misinformation continues without consequence.

When a true dissident and truth-teller exposes the machinations of the establishment, they are attacked, dragged through the court of public opinion, and imprisoned. So anyone claiming to be left-wing, a truth-teller, and adored by the establishment is a fraud. So the authorities put dissidents and truth-tellers in jail...and send their ghost-written new book to the NYT Bestseller list.

This latest decision to extradite Julian Assange to the United States has come with assurances from the government. One of the conditions is if found guilty, will be sent to Australia to serve his sentence. Please, don't believe a word of this rubbish. Once on US soil, the man will disappear into their prison system. The US prison system is infamous for its horrendous conditions and cruelty. The US government is a liar, and I don't see them changing their tune now.

It appears to be human nature to blame others for one's condition. In the case of the US presidential 2016 election, the warmonger and wall street puppet, Hillary Clinton, accused the FBI and Wikileaks of her colossal loss in the election. Morons blamed Russia and Wikileaks for her defeat when it was her corruption that the leaks revealed that contributed to this loss. When it comes to the democratic party, it's always Wikileaks or Russia's fault for everything. This is the primary reason the Biden Administration continues its prosecution of the publisher. Revealing their endemic corruption will never be forgotten.

What I find the most disheartening of all is that now the Judicial system has been corrupted by those in power. I was reminded of the Donziger case, where the lawyer was under house arrest for a misdemeanor and later put in jail. See article: https://sychronicity1.blogspot.com/2021/10/assangedonzigner-similar-corruption. His only crime was suing a corporate oil giant for committing environmental maleficence. The judge and the prosecutors, in this case, are both financed by the same corporation. This is pure and unadulterated corruption and a wholly compromised judicial system.

The Julian Assange extradition case has set a precedent for all investigative journalists and the news media itself. A good journalist will now think twice when a source presents them with classified information. "Well hell, if I publish these government crimes, will they come after me, no matter what country I live in." Nevertheless, there is certain information that the population needs to know about their respective governments. In all its forms, war crimes and corruption fall in the category of the 'public right to know.'

The fourth estate is in the constitution to "keep the bastards honest." A government that acts in secrecy is anathema to a democracy. If a free press is compromised, a totalitarian government is a result.

The decision to extradite an Australian publisher for exposing government war crimes and corruption has set a new precedent.

Now anyone exposing the crimes of power is fair game.
