Assange - Hypothetical Protest - a Thought Game.

 

The Assange case is finally reaching a conclusion. On the one hand, he will be extradited to the US and put on trial in a kangaroo court filled with spooks and weapon manufacturers under the antiquated Espionage Act, where there is zero due process. He will certainly be found guilty and thrown into a dark hole where he will be forgotten. He can also come home to an Australian prison where he'll receive proper Health Care. As the current Prime Minister said, "Enough is enough" because this case must be resolved. 

In the meantime, the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, lectured the Australian parliament, telling lies about Assange. He said his publications may have enabled our enemies to kill and capture American lives. At least, he said, may have placed our assets in danger. I guess Blinky Boy didn't read the memo. The Pentagon reported that the WikiLeaks publications resulted in no deaths or endangered any American or allied assets. Similar to most politicians and leaders of the Security State, he blatantly lied. 

After watching and reading about Niger and how they basically told the US and France to piss off, the US war pig and neocon, Victorian Nuland, traveled to Niger to persuade them against the recent coup. This American "diplomat" failed and left with her head in her hands. This got me thinking. 

What if Australia made a stand over the Assange case? 

Australia has been America's closest ally, next to the UK, since the end of WWII. We have followed them into at least 80% of their "conflicts" around the world, beginning with Korea. What if we told the US to bugger off unless they release Julian Assange? What would the all-powerful bully boy of the planet do to Australia? 

If I was in power, I'd list what Australia would do if they continued prosecuting an Australian citizen who was merely doing his job as a journalist/publisher.

1. All US military basis, including their black sites, must be shut down and moved out of the country in 90 days. 

2. All American spooks will be found and injected from the country.

3. Australia will remove our membership in the five eyes network of intelligence agencies.

4. Australia will remove our membership from AUKUS. 

5. The American embassy will be closed down.

6. All weapon deals, including the multi-billion nuclear Submarine deal, are now null and void. 

7. All trade deals with the US will stop.  

8. Australia will remove all its military personnel from US bases worldwide. 

This is only the beginning. 

If you do not release Julian Assange from UK custody, these actions will come into effect immediately. 

A thought game, of course, but if Australia had any backbone, the government would disconnect from the American empire, and the world would be a different place entirely.

Dangerous? Yes. Standing up to the world's bullies is necessary for real democracy to continue to exist. 

One can only speculate on the ramifications and response by the US Security of State. 

The US depends on Australia, including Japan and South Korea, amongst other countries, to maintain its strong presence in the Pacific Rim. For Australia to do something like this would be unprecedented and reveal to the world that US hegemony is not the only game in town. 

When one considers what these sociopathic, warmongering assholes have done to Julian Assange, also considering the threat to Freedom of the Press, something drastic needs to occur. 

This was merely a 'thought exercise,' a what-if movement of thought. 

Our PM is right, "Enough is enough." 

Free Julian Assange.
