U.S. IMPERIALISM - FOLLOW THE MONEY
The Jimmy Dore Show
Years pass and Julian Assange languishes in a dungeon. His crime? Well, he hasn't been convicted of anything yet, but he had the intolerable courage to embarrass the U.S. military and national security state, by reporting on how American soldiers murdered Iraqis for sport. This was a truth the pentagon never wanted aired to the world. But Assange did just that. His collaborator, Chelsea Manning, was instantly clapped into prison and tortured until she attempted suicide.
The viciousness with which the so-called justice system pursued her even involved a de facto double jeopardy prosecution. Meanwhile Assange hid out in the Ecuadorian embassy for seven years in London, where he had been granted asylum – until he wasn't, because the U.S. hunted him with relentless belligerence and pugnacity. The objective was to crush him, maybe kill him, and thus, by example, to finish off a free press once and for all.
Despite media mockery which turned out to be entirely wrong, Assange holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy to avoid extradition to the U.S. Arrogant, expert naysayers in newspapers like the Guardian pooh-poohed this worry. It turned out to be spot on.
For the moment in 2019 when British police stormed the embassy, laid hands on Assange and then tossed him into maximum security Belmarsh prison where he has been ever since, the U.S. started extradition proceedings to bring Assange to the very hostile territory of Northern Virginia, populated by employees of the U.S. security state.
Just try to get juror unbiased against whistle-blowers from Northern Virginia – you can't. There Assange would stand trial under the odious Espionage Act, a law that would not exist in anything remotely daring to call itself a free country. Assange faces 175 years in prison if convicted. He was right. The press know-it-alls were idiots.
Plenty of people fight for Assange. Most recently, his father released a film, "Ithaka," which follows his son's 2019 struggle against extradition to the U.S. There were other films about Assange, one rather biased against him by Laura Poitras in 2017, the documentary "Risk." Protests of varying sizes have occurred, and lots of luminaries have argued publicly for his release and that his extradition trial was a sham.
Heads of state like Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador admirably displayed backbone by personally intervening – AMLO twice wrote U.S. president Joe Biden about Assange, offering the journalist asylum in Mexico. But so far nothing besides surly silence out of the white house greeted either epistle, which could end this appalling assault on a journalist and a free press in an instant – if Biden so chose. One can only hope the U.S. president is mulling the role of a hero on the world stage, for releasing an unjustly imprisoned publisher.
