DISCUSS: Julian Assange to be Extradited?
A British magistrate’s court has approved Julian Assange’s extradition order, meaning the Australian journalist may soon be sent to the United States to face up to 175 years in prison for “revealing state secrets” and “computer hacking”.
Assange’s legal team will doubtless appeal the ruling, probably fruitlessly, but it’s part of the process.
The decision now moves on to the UK’s Home Secretary Priti Patel, to either approve or deny the order. One would assume she would pass it over and ship Assange stateside without much delay, but you never know.
Interestingly, there are a few signs of anti-extradition opinion among mainstream politicians…
Whatever you may think of Julian Assange, the UK's extradition treaty with the US is still fundamentally asymmetric and unbalanced in favour of the United States. https://t.co/sUhCVC2HxS

It may be that in the final analysis, the establishment sees more to be gained in handing the “left” a win and pretending to some national independence. If that’s the case, the order might be denied. It’s unlikely, but possible.
Julian Assange's wife speaks after todays court hearing: "The UK has no obligation to extradite Julian Assange to the US, in fact it is required by its international obligations to stop this extradition..this is a political case..free Julian Assange" @stellamoris1 #FreeAssangeNOW pic.twitter.com/MBjsw9SfXm

We are aware that many of our readers, and some in the independent media, do not trust Wikileaks or the Assange story in general. We get emails and comments about that whenever Assange is in the news, but whatever your opinion and whatever the truth of the matter, the official narrative we’re being sold should be cause for concern for anyone who cares about human rights.
Consider just what is being slowly normalised by the UK government’s treatment of Assange:
- Silencing of publishers and journalists by the state.
- Criminalising the exposure of government wrong-doing.
- Indefinite detention without charge or trial.
- Court proceedings hearings via video-link only.
Whether or not you like or trust WikiLeaks and Assange is almost immaterial – the story we’re being told is just plain wrong, and in protesting this treatment we hope to protect not just Assange, but any one of us who may one day find themselves in the crosshairs of the state.
But what do you think?

Extradite him – we intradite a few million third worlders for cheap labour in return. It’s a good deal, we don’t want to rock the boat. (irony alert)
Wikileaks and Assange are a psyop. He is not “heldup”. Come one people, this is controlled oppostion just like BLM, Antifa etc… Assange is working for intelligence. Here is a snippet from Global Research’s Michel Chossudovsky from his article “Who is Behind Wikileaks?” Who is Behind Wikileaks? – Global ResearchGlobal Research – Centre for Research on Globalization “While the project and its editor Julian Assange reveal a commitment and concern for truth in media, the recent Wikileaks releases of embassy cables have been carefully “redacted” by the mainstream media in liaison with the US government. (See Interview with David E. Sanger, Fresh Air, PBS, December 8, 2010) This collaboration between Wikileaks and selected mainstream media is not fortuitous; it was part of an agreement between several major US and European newspapers and Wikileaks’ editor Julian Assange. The important question is who controls and oversees the selection, distribution and editing of… Read more »
I do not believe Julian is working for intelligence. I believe that Wikileaks has been massively infiltrated and he is suffering poor judgement or simply the influence of infiltrators. It’s not as if he’s a straight-talking, simple honest truth-seeker but he is not an agent and has been encircled … by even his wife by the look of things. Sara Gonzalez changed her name to Stella Moris with one r? Why would that be? Why would she change her name to Stella Moris, one letter different from Stella Maris, which has occult associations with the Sirens, those who lured sailors to their deaths. Is she like the German spy in the film, Allies (based on real life), played by Marion Cotillard, who ends up marrying a US officer, played by Brad Pitt, and having a child with him. Is this what’s happened? Allies is not the only example, Helen Steel,… Read more »
I am surrounded by spies – Placebo
Petra, Assange has a long track record of working for Intel, as do so many of his fellow travellers. i mean, he may have other things in his file that recommend him, but not unspookery.
Besides, he has a long association with Pirate Bay defendant and far right figure, Carl Lundström, Swedish fascist. And others of that stripe.
This link gives a bit on that:
https://thehackernews.com/2011/11/wikileaks-founder-julian-assange-hires.html
I just don’t see how Assange comes out clean of Intel, and a lot else.
Emory at spitfirelist.com has been rather closely tracking him for many years and I have heard him call Assange a “Nazi” on the air. As he has called Lundström, with much supportive evidence.
Just quoting!
John, the main reason I don’t believe Julian is working for intelligence is that he really looks like he’s been locked up and is suffering ill health which isn’t to say that he hasn’t been let out on occasion and I have no idea how he had the two children he was supposed to have had and so on but he definitely looks as if he’s suffering serious ill health from being locked up … you only need to look at Chelsea’s shining face for comparison. She’s out being feted in glamour photoshoots in MSM, he’s not. Why is that? Secondly you need to take into consideration that people will try to make him look like he works for intelligence, the controlled opposition will try to make him look bad. He has been duped and has probably been misled into doing things that he wouldn’t otherwise do, not realising their… Read more »
If they can fill the twin towers with dust, using Occam’s razor, why can’t they stick some sickly-looking makeup on a man and occasionally smuggle him into an embassy? A2
Sam, I shall be editing my dust page to ensure it speaks of dust in the buildings purely as a theory. Dust stored in the buildings is definitely in the realm of theory and I made a grave error to speak of it as fact. The amount of dust covering Ground Zero is rather remarkable though because I don’t think demolitions usually involve so much dust. Actually, I might delete the page altogether because whether dust was stored in the buildings or not is not really significant is it and I ask you to never refer to my claims about dust again. They fake things all the time it’s true but they almost always let you know when they’re faking it and I see no signs with Julian’s appearance. The reason that I can state with certainty that Chelsea is an agent and that the film Collateral Murder is faked… Read more »
Absolutely my opinion too.
But “could be” faked is not a strong argument and certainly not part of Occam’s Razor without a golden nugget or a number of pieces of evidence that line up to favour Julian being an agent.
All I see is evidence supporting that he has been duped. Perhaps he did some work for intel and then when he went rogue with Wikileaks they thought, “OK, mate, we’ll get you.” They really do seem to have it in for him. I don’t know.
When he speaks of Collateral Murder he certainly seems genuinely shocked by it – “could be” acted, yes, I know but as I say ad nauseam, they always give us the clues and not only with their events but also their agents.
Come on. Look at what’s happened with Chelsea in comparison. There is none.
Actually, as soon as you start saying “could be” you’re going against Occam’s Razor except where the item concerned is related to a golden nugget. Recently I’ve been arguing with people about the cause of wtc-7’s collapse and they’ve been going nuts about the lack of sounds of explosions. There are in fact very low sounds of explosions however we don’t really need to concern ourselves with the sounds of explosions because the visual evidence alone tells us clearly that it’s controlled demolition so unless the issue with sounds of explosion was essential to the argument we don’t need to concern ourselves with them. Perhaps the sounds were recorded at very low volume, perhaps they used thermite and as has been claimed by some, thermite produces very low sounds. We don’t know but we can see that there can be some way to explain the very minimal sound of explosions… Read more »
On further reflection, I favour the recorded-at-low-volume/plus-omitted-from-audio explosions theory for the reasons of minimal sounds of explosions in the audios of WTC-7’s collapse over low-noise-thermite massively now that I’ve looked at thermite in action. It seems to produce loads of light and molten steel and while we’ve been told about the molten steel that seems to clearly be propaganda. And where’s the light? Where’s the light produced by thermite? Additionally, there is simply no other example of building demolition we can find on the internet using thermite which makes you wonder why this is the case. Light and molten steel produced by thermite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdCsbZf1_Ng Molten steel propaganda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txk6tCZ1p6s In answer to the question on Quora, Buildings: How could thermite be used in the demolition of a multi-story structure? https://www.quora.com/Buildings-How-could-thermite-be-used-in-the-demolition-of-a-multi-story-structure “Thermite destroys by causing intense heat as it burns, setting fire to and/or melting whatever it is in contact with. Because… Read more »
Now you’re just trolling. 1. How do you propose any light produced by nanothermite in the elevator shafts and internal structures would have been visible on the outside? 2. There are literally dozens of eyewitness accounts of molten steel at ground zero. How does that lame video debunk that? 3. Quora? Why not just cite Popular Mechanics? Someone needs to explain to those bozos the difference between thermite and nanothermite, which is marketed as an explosive. (This info has been available for fifteen years, how did you possibly manage to ‘research’ 9/11 for this long and not come across it?) 4. So, if literally all the proposed theories for how the towers came down are just put out there to delude people less clever than you, what DID bring them down, in your opinion? Or do you think they’re still there? PS – there actually is hard evidence for nanothermite… Read more »
To answer your question about the video. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep track of the source of the image from that video that was put forward as showing molten steel. As we can see in the video it’s just workers using searchlights. The image appears in the first frame of the video but it doesn’t have a source, however, I know I’ve seen that image in a context claiming it shows molten metal. However, in this video where responders speak of molten metal like lava they also speak of “channel rails”. Here is a link to some channel rails. I can’t figure out exactly what they are even from the link but I somehow feel they wouldn’t have been a feature in the rubble … but, of course, I could be wrong. Any ideas? https://www.lowellmfg.com/product/ss30-channel-rails/ Actually, just watching the video I link to re channel rails I see the twin towers… Read more »
Well you are indeed doing an excellent job at that. 👍
I only judge by source when I have no other option to evaluate and I think it’s a good principle. Quora is as good as YouTube is as good as a medical journal is as good as OffGuardian is as good as any other source where it says things that make sense. We know absolute rubbish is published in reputable medical journals and in mainstream and alternative media. I puzzle over why you express disdain at any particular source. Can you explain to me what sources you believe are more trustworthy than Quora and why? I’ve found a few wonderful explanations on Quora I must say. Lots of rubbish published there too but that’s everywhere no? Even where the editors of journals might be completely genuine they’re always vulnerable to controlled opposition, no? My apologies, Sophie. I should have made it clear that I think it most… Read more »
I had always known “Stella Maris” as one of the throng of names for Mary of Nazareth, an historical figure of some renown. We have several schools or Catholic churches in Southern California, my beat from L. A. to San Diego. There is one in San Pedro and I believe another in San Diego, not surprising for an area so imbued in maritime associations. I already knew that it was Latin for “Star of the Sea” but didn’t know about this til just a moment ago, so grateful for that: “‘The title “Stella Maris” first arose back in the 5th Century when St. Jerome translated Mary’s Hebrew name Miryam, which means “drop of the sea” to the Latin “Stilla Maris”. Mary later went from a “drop in the ocean” to the “star of the sea” when “Stilla Maris” became “Stella Maris”.Sep 27, 2021′” She is also the only female mentioned… Read more »
Stella Maris certainly has a lot of connections, doesn’t it, John?
What prompted my inquiry about it was a friend pointing out the one letter difference upon which I internet-searched “stella maris occult” and found a page on its occult meaning which contained a link to La Sirène which is where the “luring of sailors” comes from.

Within such states of rising awareness, float one thought:
What if Julian Assange were the Author of * The Bitcoin Whitepaper * ?
Then ask yourself, what would you do in his shoes, other than invent an Alias ?
And extreme secrecy. . . Around Satoshi Nakamoto !
Legal N.B. Even if Assange is not Satoshi Nakamoto,
He should declare himself to be Satoshi Nakamoto, Because Win-Win, see?
Some-body will react. Nothing left to lose. Grabbing Maximum Martyrdom, highlighting?

Extradition
Why is this such a big deal ? All it means is a transfer of this guy from the mother country to it’s closest ally. He could get to participate in more Simpson’s episodes. It would be a welcome change for someone allegedly cooped up in an embassy for years.
Julian Assange will not be extradited..
JULIAN ASSANGE will be extradited.
Problem is Julian Assange doesnt know the trick. So he pays the penalty & takes the fall.
His useless lawyers could have him released if only they knew the truth.
Some of his defence at least show signs of being controlled opposition which of course is only to be expected.
One secret he can’t be accused of leaking is the alleged shooting of Iraqi civilians by US soldiers in Apache helicopters because the film Collateral Murder is obviously faked and was used to infiltrate Wikileaks by agent, Chelsea Manning. Why all those supporting Julian refuse to pick up on this glaring piece of evidence that should surely help him I do not know.
This analysis reveals: — the evidence of fakery of the film including clear indication of stitching together of audio snippets and a highly anomalous appearance of 13 callsigns considering the two Apache crews didn’t even have contact – also highly anomalously – with Ethan McCord’s ground crew — the evidence that Chelsea Manning is an infiltrator (feted by the mainstream media, topnotch transition job while allegedly in prison for treason) — anomalies in Ethan McCord’s testimony — anomalies in Adrian Lamo’s Wikipedia bio — anomalies in reporting of the Crazy Horse Apache crews activities outside their alleged participation in the shooting shown in Collateral Murder https://occamsrazorterrorevents.weebly.com/wikileaks-controlled-opposition.html This is a blog post written by someone who believes the film is authentic simply I’d say because the idea that it isn’t has not occurred to him and seems too counterintuitive, however, he points out numerous anomalies in the narrative. https://5thstate.wordpress.com/2010/04/ I simply… Read more »
What would be the purpose of faking the Collateral Murder video? Certainly not to enrage the docile American public. Nor even to later reveal the fakery to discredit anyone.
I love a good mystery. But at some point it has to make sense. And this makes none, from any angle.
I don’t see a mystery Howard and I provide the reason for the faking of Collateral Murder in my comment: to infiltrate Wikileaks. I have to say though I find it interesting the way so many people reject a claim on the basis that there’s no obvious motive. My first question is always what’s the evidence not what’s the motive because I have to allow I may not know the motive but the evidence will still show the claim to be true regardless. From my analysis: To accept that an artefact such as Collateral Murder, a video showing US soldiers firing on unarmed Iraqi civilians, might be a fakery used to infiltrate Wikileaks it is helpful to consider the following: We can anticipate with certainty that infiltration will be attempted so what better way to establish credibility for a would-be infiltrator than to present such a document, a serious indictment… Read more »
The purpose of the video was to establish Wikileaks’ credibility as a fake opposition. This allowed it to publish CIA material against regimes the CIA wanted to bring down as part of the Arab Spring.
Yes, but they didn’t start Wikileaks, it was started genuinely … they were waiting in the wings for any such organisation to emerge – they probably anticipated it – and leapt in to infiltrate it.
Or, as another plausible (“enough”) alternate view, it was “their” creation from the start!
That has been almost SOP at CIA for decades. And ever more so, really.
It all stems, conceptually, from James Angleton’s (CIA chief of counterintelligence for 25 years or so until 1975, more or less) much buried adage: “We want our adversaries to find themselves in a wilderness of mirrors.”
By “adversaries” I’m pretty sure he meant anyone and everyone who doesn’t submit entirely to “them”. To the Iron Heel of Oligarchy.
An ever-broadening category?
I do know that agents all the way up don’t like anyone referencing or using the phrase about mirrors, since it is intimately bound to their long-range plans of internet technocracy and such.
What a fabulous quote and it’s so obviously been followed. How come I’ve never seen it before? All I ever see is the alleged quote from Lenin, “In order to defeat the opposition we must lead it ourselves.” Aren’t they so good at propagandizing? Make out it’s the opposition who indulge in controlled opposition activities when they’re the main proponents of it. “We want our adversaries to find themselves in a wilderness of mirrors.” James Angleton I’m well aware that many opposition organisations are their creations from the start, including the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry and the Corona Investigative Committee but presumably genuine organisations would also be infiltrated even if perhaps they’re infiltrated as they’re forming so to say whether they’re their own creation or not is a moot point – there is a difference though between setting up from the absolute start as an opposition organisation from one… Read more »
Excellent analysis. I read this kind of material years ago. The fake video, the Manning and Lamo anomalies It’s clear controlled opposition.
Published in the Guardian and NYT ! That’s the biggest red flag.
Too true. If they’re publishing stuff against themselves in the MSM – yep – big red flag.
“I simply do not understand people’s capacity to maintain their belief against massive amounts of clear evidence” Well surely we’ve had enough decades to get used to people doing just that. However, “massive amounts of clear evidence” are not what I see in front of me. Most of what we get to hear about influential organizations comes through the media which we are constantly criticizing for being utterly corrupt. Which means that most of what we see on TV – and on even a lot of the ‘alternative’ media may, or may not, be true. That’s the only honest conclusion one can generally come to. I sometimes think our best bet is simply to build our own narrative – but of course a better one than the narrative the ‘authorities’ are constantly shoving down our throats. I can live with my own narrative, because I know I am not trying… Read more »
Wardropper, my breadth of knowledge and understanding of the world is very limited, however, beyond realising that numerous events are wildly different from how they are reported there are two things I’ve learnt that I’ve embraced massively to my bosom and I’m not sure why others don’t even when they’re familiar with the two phenomena: –1– Underneath the propaganda they tell us the truth – In psyops, they always give us the clues, they always undermine their already-low-on-credibility narrative with gratuitous anomalies that cannot fail to let you know they’re lying to you. Thus, the evidence for Chelsea being an agent and the Collateral Murder being faked is massively laid before us. The only way you cannot see it – when it’s pointed out at least – is to wilfully ignore it. Yes, the media lie to us all the time but the way of lying in psyops has a… Read more »
No you dont get the point. Only a Corporation can be charged, a man or woman need never go to court as the charge is always with our corporate id. In Julians case its THE UNITED STATES OF AMAERICA V JULIAN ASSANGE. Only if accepts his name in that format does he have to go through the legal process.
There is no justice only legal trickery.
That freeman on the land nonsense will not help anyone, just as the courts did jack shit to stop the covid coup despite many lawsuits.
The ones with the guns make the laws and they can break them anytime they want. If you’re a problem to them, they will do their best to get you, legally or para-legally, like they did with Assange and many less known (and more serious) threats before him .
Re Chelsea: The idea that a very young i.e. low ranking GI should be able to download and copy reams of military data and walk away with it baffled me from the start. As the story developped I’d expected the whole reporting line up to senior command level would be axed (including figures from military intelligence, but that wouldn’t have become public).But apparently no. Later the photo of the wired man under a hood became World Press Photo. Would the Pentagon not have suppressed it?
I liked the move to swap Bradley for Chelsea, though. The guy who dunnit doesn’t even exist any more. It is so brazen, so in-your-face.
Surely, HRC adored Manning’s chosen name…
And Obama laughed: Probably privately, still.
I hadn’t thought about the failure of those in the reporting line. Yeah credibility a little low … they don’t pull any punches on the nonsensifying of the downloading: “On January 5, 2010, Manning downloaded the 400,000 documents that became known as the Iraq War logs.[105] On January 8, she downloaded 91,000 documents from the Afghanistan database, known later as part of the Afghan War logs. She saved the material on CD-RW and smuggled it through security by labeling the CD-RW media “Lady Gaga” and storing it in a Gaga CD case. She was lipsyncing to Lady Gaga music, to make it appear that she was using the classified computer’s CD player to listen to music.[106] She then copied it onto her personal computer.[107] The next day, she wrote a message in a readme.txt file, which she told the court was initially intended for The Washington Post.[108]” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Manning Wired man under a hood?

The crux of the situation: “Indefinite detention without charge or trial.” Exactly. And who is the State? When “states” have to secret away their counterfeit and corrupt operations, the civil public has already lost. All your “leaders” are assholes. Figure it out.
Some backstory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Seth_Rich The murder of Seth Rich occurred on Sunday, July 10, 2016, at 4:20 a.m. in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C.[2] Rich died about an hour and a half after being shot twice in the back. He was murdered by unknown perpetrators for unknown reasons, but police suspected he had been the victim of an attempted robbery.[1][3] The 27-year-old Rich was an employee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and his murder spawned several right-wing conspiracy theories,[1][4] including the false claim, contradicted by the law enforcement branches that investigated the murder, that Rich had been involved with the leaked DNC emails in 2016.[5][6] It was also contradicted by the July 2018 indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence agents for hacking the e-mail accounts and networks of Democratic Party officials[7] and by the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion the leaked DNC emails were part of Russian interference in the… Read more »
IF Seth Rich was killed for leaking to Assange, than who found out about this?
Who ordered this kill; HRC, some DNCer or some in the FBI, the CIA, ….?
Probably the same answer for both questions.
Julian Assange stayed vague on Seth’s leak because he didn’t want to scare off future leakers.
Typical Dickhead TV interrogator. In this case an a Dutch SS Dickhead TV cronie.
I believe that Seth Rich was a Republican plant and his alleged murder was a psyop. Check out his grieving parents – the weirdest family tableau you’ll ever see. What a great coup for the Republicans. Pretend to kill him and make it look like the Dems did it and the Dems could do absolutely nothing about it cos no one calls out anyone else’s psyops. But then maybe they’re all in it together somehow. Who the hell knows?
I’ve not bothered looking into it, but I’m aware of some of the theories and the “murder” seems highly suspect. And it’s also why I don’t believe anything about JA.

The ‘Murder’ of Seth Rich: Everything we thought we knew is wrong!
June 21, 2017
They are all in it together. Red and blue work together against the public. That’s how the psychopaths stay in power, by always using controlled opposition and always colluding against the public.
Rich was never shot and never died. It was publicity stunt to boost the enmity against Hillary, and at the same time, legitimize the intentional “leak” of Democratic emails given to Wikileaks by the NSA-FBI-State Dept.
Which is WHY there’s never anything particularly incriminating in any of the alleged leaks.
All we ever see is unconvincing FBI psyop “investigations“ that go nowhere. This applies to both Republicans and Democrats in perpetrating the divide and conquer scam narratives.
Russiagate was another manufactured psyop perpetrated by the Trump camp, Democrats and Republicans in collusion with the Russians and MI6. The target of these psyops is always the voters.
Nice to see we agree on something, Researcher.
Whaddya reckon?
Reckon the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry will go anywhere. Betcha any amount it won’t … cos it ain’t got nowhere to go.
No. The “committees“ are all controlled opposition. And the lawyers, judges and courts are all under the umbrella of the Masonic, banking-merchant-military cartel that controls the world.
Check out this video on the Seth Rich hoax, and his lsrael-Intel-military background. There’s also pictures of him alive, (after his alleged murder) with bleached hair at an anti-Sharia march, giving the 666 hand sign.
Thanks, Researcher. Love it! Actually, I’m pretty sure I watched it a few years ago but forgot all about it. I’ll add it to my webpage.
The Reeps are full of “identity” trix in recent years, pulling a sort of “ideological” Chelsea Manning gender bender, with their civil liberties allegiances, or if that metaphor is way too mixed, just substitute the concept: “switcheroo”.
They pretend, practically en masse, that they stand for the things, when at all feasible, that civil libertarians have stood for, as a tradition, but those kinds of traditions have never been their strong suit.
Curious. But all expedited I guess by an internet of smoke and mirrors. A lot of disingenuous styling has become their lot. And a lot.
Not the same thing as a staunch conviction, though. (The BLM Floyd protests in Spring 2020, all well-heeled white people in some parts of town here, were a glaring example! Hard to keep a straight face for very long, in our day and age!)
Thanks for that.
It’s clear that Assange is claiming Rich gave the material to Wikileaks and implying he was murdered by dark forces. I agree with that but suspect it was Wikileaks who contacted the dark forces.
There has been a very powerful drive to blame the Russians for the leaks and later even to claim they put Trump in power. Clinton’s campaign was very strongly anti Russia. It seemed to me driving that message home was as important as winning the election.
Now we have a proxy war with Russia.
.
David Davis: I don’t like his “whatever you may think of..” line. Hardly a full-throated cry for freedom, although to his credit, Davis has taken a libertarian line on quite a few issues. “Libertarian” is a dirty word among the Lazy-minded Left, although it absolutely shouldn’t be.
As many on Twitter have pointed out, the US government has been quick to condemn Putin’s alleged war-crimes, while threatening to lock up (and throw away the key) a journalist for exposing their war-crimes.
That’s what caused my initial split with Philip Roddis of Steel City Scribblings i.e. he referred to those suspicious of covid as “libertarians”. This is presumably based on the idea that these covid sceptics are putting liberty before safety – a notion that only carries if the deadliness of covid is presupposed – which is the very thing the sceptics are sceptical about.
But that was a steep learning curve for me when I became aware of the underhanded methods used to shore up covid.
Any harm on purely political prisoner Julian Assange is on the five aye aye Sirs.
He exposed their laundry and dirty it was, specially for their own citizens. Shoot messenger Assange: more surely they are shooting themselves in the feet.
So eager to compete with the CCP on a vise like grip on their own fellow people, not wise.
It comes over as poor acting, I think these people all look the same because it is unschooled, just what ordinary people think emotions should look like. People actually hide their emotions.
I guess she could be faking an emotional response to help JA. But it seems to me she would not do that if she was real.
Just my gut feel but that is worth something.
I agree. Bad acting. Another NSA-MI6 managed asset, perpetuating the good guy Russia/bad guy USA narrative.
Does it matter what a few offG readers think?
Judging by the amount of shills and agenda-managers we get commenting here, the answer is apparently “YES”.
It matters to their chances in the afterllife. We shall each one be judged at the End of Days.
“Cast your Karma on the waters, and it shall come back to you after many days” — New Testament
Karma? New Testament???
I apologise for that convoluted attempt at a Joycean transcendental portmanteau pun over the alleged insignificance of OffG’s little community of Truthers. The word Karma arose when I quoted “Cast your bread” to a friend during a discussion about not being ashamed of your good action even if you think it will probably be useless. My friend, who was a good man but not a Christian (one of those whom Dante described in Limbo as a “Hindu living on the banks of the Ganges who lives a virtuous life but will never get to Heaven, God alone knows why”) replied:
“You mean like Karma?”
“But isn’t Karma a bitch? You mean the road to Hell is paved with good intentions?”
“There is good Karma as well as bad Karma”.
“I didn’t know that”.
It clearly matters enough for you to make that snarky comment!
Mr Yseguy is clearly snarked by the success of OffG in attracting Truth Lovers. However, he can take consolation that Kit, Catte and Sam have not yet received the ultimate badge of honour for their “insignificance”. As has now happened to Pepe Escobar:

I celebrated the cancellation in front of the Aegean Sea, at the home of Herodotus, the Father of History. Additionally, it was heart-warming to be recognized by the great George Galloway in his moving tribute to these targets of the new McCarthyism.
Cancel culture is inbuilt in the modern techno-version of feudalism: conform to the authorised story, or be cancelled.”
It is very concerning that this is happening to Assange. Why don’t the courts rather protect him from the abuse of power by this magistrate who appears to be captured by the Anglo-American establishment? He had the guts to expose the war crimes of the USA.
Since I saw the interview as a result of a posting on this site, I post a link to the panic reaction of TPTB.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/20/who-is-graham-phillips-the-youtuber-accused-of-war-crimes
It is quite obvious that the war criminal being interviewed was a mercenary who had previously fought in Syria alongside the other “Ukrainian patriot”.
He has breached UK law, will he be prosecuted, despite his support from the Tory Party, and in particular Bob Jen Rik. an admitted globalist?
Don’t you think that anyone that has a free choice to ply his trade should be free to do so?. Even if you don’t agree with his choice. Mercenaries also fight for money, it is a career with high risks. Politicians do the same for money, but with no risk?
Note that the law can be very one sided, look at the Assange issue. He exposed the American war crimes, and the same “Justice” Law system want to extradite him for bravery and send him into the arms of the very criminals who exposed.
Right ho! Can you not read? This man is being promoted as a saintly figure, fighting for the Nazis for the sake of all that is decent and his Ukrainian wife and imaginary family. The establishment, the Guardian and the BBC, are denying that he is a mercenary. Their narrative is that he settled in Ukraine for love and is defending his adoptive homeland for the sake of that love. The story has been exposed for what it is and now they come for the exposer.
Pass the sick bag Alice.
What if the purpose of the propaganda is not to convince you but simply create a polarised response of acceptance or rejection.
What if the crassness is intentional. Maybe they know it will convince the stupid but alienate the more discerning. And maybe both responses are desired.
Exactly. More divide and conquer. The nonsense narratives in the news are the absurd and polarizing distractions that people focus their attention on, while the controllers build the digital panopticon.
Mercenaries deal in death, they need death and they should receive it. The death sentence is most fitting.
I believe that OG has censored my recent post regarding the above fake image of the protest, where is my post?

Good on you Sophie.
I know you guys are part of the alternative agenda, but you do a great job of containing the controversy. Better here than on social media, right? We all need the venting therapy of the OG forum. Albeit amongst the mine field of spooks.
Whilst you are at it, perhaps you could prevent all my posts going to the filtered “Pending” status… It’s been happening for a long time now. I know I’m a loose cannon, but hey… Free speech an all.

You’ve been around here for a while & know about the spam filter – have a little patience …
It’s priceless when people (especially those who think of themselves as conscious)
defend censorship as a necessity to fight against, wait for it, Spam.
FFS, nothing more important in the world than the fight against Spam. It justifies everything. Yes, it does.
How exactly is delaying the publication of a post “censorship”?
Our treatment of Julian Assange makes me ashamed to be British, and even more so of the mainstream media of which, by and large. I was proud to have been a part until I retired more than two decades ago. Witnessing Western society descent into a nightmarish blend of Brave New World and 1984, with worse to come as the globalist technocracy tightens its grip on the levers of power, makes me thankful to have been born when I was, on the cusp of a second world war. Those of us who grew up during that wicked, wasteful conflict and the decades of austerity which followed, discovered the hard way that basic human freedoms are not a given. They must fought for, and when won, constantly defended. Sadly, succeeding generations appear not to have learned this lesson and are capitulating, with scarcely a whimper of protest, to the dark forces… Read more »

I tend to view JA and Wikileaks as supplanting a pseudo ICAC, that is; acting like an independent commission against corruption, because lord knows, the delegated ‘authorities’ like the ICC/ICJ, UN etc. etc. have been well and truly taken over by the assortment of oligarchs and self-appointed WEF perps. I mean, when you sit staring at the politics and politicians in whichever country you live in, you would have to ask yourself; is “this the best that we, as XYZ society can come up with?” If you answer YES, I have a bridge I would like to sell to you.

Too true, just as the Kennedy assassinations were not about the Kennedy’s, but about what their friend Mort Sahl (1st modern age standup comic, still cracking wise, if deep state muted, at 93) identified as the cause is humanity” ~ this is not about Assange but global law, or lack thereof.
[My father, and namesake (ecjlaw.com) was President of the U.N. Association in the last decade or so of his life, until his April 1982 assassination, and he had a helluva lot of 33° Freemasons as clients. It’s my strong conviction that they (High Cabal Masons) and allies, took over the U.N. , if the U.N. wasn’t in fact, designed as a global engine for theur treacherous ways from its very start, cleverly disguised by many, all “human shields”.]

Clarification: he (John W. Ervin) was President of the United Nations of LOS ANGELES, specifically. But in and of itself it must have been a significant position, as he was awarded the U.N. Peace Medal, in 1978 I believe. One of his clients, Dr. Norman Cousins, was also given that award, no doubt for his remarkable task of serving as backchannel liaison between JFK, Pope St. John XXIII, and Kruschev, by JFK’s request. That is covered unforgettably, in Cousin’s book, “The Improbable Triumvirate”. Cousins taught at UCLA where Dr. Ervin (père) was found off-campus in a locked Lincoln, 40 years ago, since this past Saturday. He had just produced 2 films on nuclear disarmament for the U.N., which were never released, as he predeceased the necessary signings, as producer, etc. An obvious contract killing, still a cold case, which I have discussed elsewhere on these threads, for their much relevance… Read more »
FYI, Mort Sahl died on October 26, 2021. RIP. 😢
I intended to post a link, but I had to smile when the search results overwhelmingly listed conventional corporate mass-media venues; I don’t have an ironclad defense to the challenge “Aha! That’s what the Mighty Wurlitzer wants you to believe!” 😉
If that’s what you meant by “deep state muted”, pardon the gratuitous information.
End of an era. Mort Sahl, American, no world, class hero. Thanks for the update, if to my rue. This is how USA, LLC, handles its peace heroes: I do regular searches about every couple months, for “notable deaths”. I did one several weeks ago, and Sahl’s name should have popped up. A real legend and valiant to the bone, the marrow! Talk about blacklisting! I never came across his obit. That’s pretty spooky, too, since I copied his wiki for the glaring disinfo (lies) not long ago, even quoted Jimmy Wales’ muted sections of steer manure, not long ago. Sahl was still doing comedy shows into 2020, when the lockdowns seen to have muted him. He and Robin Williams became friends in the ’90s. I think you can find conspiracy dots to connect, since Robin was clearly “muted”. It speaks volumes, trilogies of them, how Sahl’s rep has been… Read more »
Not only has Assange not been prosecuted (I don’t think he ever will be), he hasn’t been extradited. Priti Patel could massive improve her popularity by simply not sending him to Rwanda.
While his supporters claimed he was being tortured in the embassy, it appears he’d been making making babies with his lawyer. The exact opposite. I am open to the idea that he was only in the embassy and Belmarsh to pose for the media.
Off Guardian published an article
“Assange lawyers’ links to US govt & Bill Browder raises questions
The network of lawyers in conflicting roles in Browder, Assange and US government cases raises questions about Julian Assange’s defense.”
Most of all. Wikileaks’ major material was published by intelligence operations The Guardian and New York Times. If it was harmful to American interests they would never have published
That became my suspicion, and also about other “false defectors” (the term used for Richard Bissell’s 1950s program which missioned a teen Lee Harvey Oswald to Russia, a tenure shared for a much longer span now by Assange confederate, and also a “past” CIA agent, Snowden). Daniel ELLSBERG comes to mind, also someone whose “tell-all” leaks were first published by NYT and WaPo, tabloids of record well-known to historians of any credibility whatever as the virtual right and left arm of CIA disinformation, Homeland style, going back to Tillman Durdin of NYT and his total complicity in the Place Garnier car bombings in Saigon, 1952 (dramatized in The Quiet American, Greene novel and 2001 film). Further notoriety stems from the established facts that Ellsberg was aide-de-camp to Lt. Col. Ed Lansdale, to my mind one of the most deadly and notorious high-rankers at CIA yl for all time, who bought… Read more »

Excellent, thanks. This post illustrates that to know things beyond what is seen in intelligence propaganda channels like the BBC, Guardian and NYT to understand how things work. Ellsberg was the name I was trying to remember as the Assange analogue who never went to jail.
That’s why my original post covered Assange’s origins in 1991.To illustrate that most people think he’s a journalist and his fanboys foam at the mouth claiming to defend journalism. What journalism ?There is only propaganda left.
Play silly games, win silly prizes.

I am Scottish, retired (awake late) and think American corporate liberals are the lowest form of human life. Contrasting with the vibrant culture in the 1960s before COINTELPRO, before Dylan was terrified by the JFK assassination.
Very astute comment. Dylan certainly got out pretty sharpish, went all country and everntually born again etc. Jagger had always protected himself with cynicism. Lennon however failed to “learn his lesson”. And we all know what happened to him.

Julian Assange is not the issue here.
Nor is Wikileaks…
Well, yes and no. I’m not sure how anyone can say that categorically, but that’s what’s so troubling about such things, “these days”.
Well yes he is, he not only proved massive cover ups and war crimes but his arrest has silenced the gutless fucks called global media who are all only too happen to help him expose the crimes but tell him to fuck off now.
Fuck the rest of the trash media, they don’t deserve the press freedom they claim to want because they simply do not earn it.
His so called “exposure of government” only got air time by main stream. Not sure if you actually read the documents exposing the war crimes, but there were supposedly thousands of them. So not only would one have to read them all, one would also need a degree in law to understand the terminology used. So, the average Joe would have to visit Wikileaks, locate the documents, download them, spend thousands of hours reading and understanding them. Not likely. However, the main stream and their merry men supposedly did just this and broadcast the documents in a summery report into every lounge room in the western world via local news. Without this broadcast nobody would have known the story. Meanwhile Assange gets pinched for leaking docs when it was the main stream that broadcast them to the world. Without the coverage nobody would have known. This is the story we… Read more »

9/11
This fellow accepts the 19 boxcutter brandishing cave dwellers version of 9/11. That suggests that this whole thing is a long running psyop.
It’s more likely that the spin, that disclosures like Assange’s are planted propaganda, is the ACTUAL propaganda. See the CIA internal memo: “How To Make Everything Unbelievable & Thus Eliminate Scrutiny Of Everything We Do”.

Bobby Kennedy Jr. a half hour into his interview by Jimmy Dore, says, “…there is a little known federal law that was very big in Tony Fauci’s mind, that you cannot get emergency use authorization for a vaccine, for any reason, if there is a medication that has been proven effective against the target illness…” And so on. He and Dore go on to show pages from Virology Journal and NIH’s own library going back almost TWENTY YEARS that document how extremely effective Ivermectin is, IN THEIR OWN STUDIES.

Gonzalo Lira dead confirms Scott Ritter in Telegram post. Details below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oonmPZM9XJ0
A very bad day all round.
Ritter does not confirm that Gonzalo Lira is dead in the Telegram post referred to in that video. When Belorussian authorities pulled Roman Protasevich, a blogger who had served a combat tour in the neo-Nazi Azov battalion before working for Radio Free Europe’s Belarus channel out of Prague, off an airplane in May, 2021, on charges of inciting a political opposition (roughly the equivalent of sedition), the world went crazy, accusing Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of trampling on free speech. Protasevich is alive and well, living under house arrest while awaiting trial.When reports emerged that Gonzo Lira, a Chilean social media “influencer” who resided in Kharkov, Ukraine, and who published online content critical of the Ukrainian government, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by the Kraken Unit, part of the Azov battalion affiliated with the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU), the West is silent.Free speech isn’t a one way street. To remain… Read more »

Although I accept that the confirmation is from the Russian news aggregator, he now seems to rowing back from his position based on that statement, although it is pretty unambiguous.

Intel Slava Z posted that, not Ritter, and it is an edited version of Ritter’s original Telegram post, the full text of which is in my previous reply. Ritter himself said in a subsequent RT article: The internet being the internet, my post was immediately cited as my “confirmation” that Gonzalo Lira had, in fact, been kidnapped and murdered by the SBU. I quickly sent out a follow-on post to correct the record..“A point of clarification,” I wrote, “I have no direct evidence that Gonzalo has been killed. I was clear I was referring to ‘reports emerging’ about his demise. But Gonzo said any disappearance of more than 12 hours should be treated as if something bad had happened to him. It’s been five days. If this had been a New York Times reporter disappearing in Russian-controlled territory, it would be headline news – especially if a Chechen ‘hunter killer’… Read more »

Why is Ritter a reliable source? He comes over to me as a blowhard horn-tooter trading on having once worked for the UN. Loves to be in the public eye. Loves to make like he’s in the know.
FWIW (not much) I always thought he (and Gonzalo Lira actually) were spooks.
I like how the above image of the the so called protesters are so in tune with the multicultural, male/female equality agenda. It’s amazing how all the diversity standing together can be captured in a single image.
Get your daily dose of fake news repeated here folks.
I don’t exactly “distrust” Wikileaks, but I find it curious that it seems to have become virtually dormant since its 2007 “Collateral Damage” heyday, and since Assange was heinously captured and imprisoned. I haven’t commented about this much in recent years, but in the past my comments that Wikileaks has virtually gone quiet provoked furious responses from Assange/Wikileaks supporters. The rebuttals claimed that Wikileaks has indeed provided a steady stream of revelations, though perhaps not as sensational as the “Collateral Damage” video, but that conventional mass-media refuses to report continuing releases and disclosures because of its anti-Assange bias. Alternatively, I was reproved that since Wikileaks relies on outside whistleblowers to supply newsworthy information and evidence, it couldn’t be “blamed” if it wasn’t getting as much input as formerly. I wasn’t “blaming” Wikileaks, or faulting Assange. But apart from its reduced output, there was one mystery that no one seemed to insightfully or… Read more »
WikiLeaks, to date, seems to be the Mother of All False Flags. Dave Emory covered so much of this in the past 15 years, ongoing, at spitfirelist.com, and his long series “Eddie the Friendly Spook”. What he says in his broadcasts, and expanded material, just makes so much sense, though I would shout Easter hosannas if he were proven wrong. More than a shadow of a doubt. What Assange produced in the Middle East led to a power vacuum quickly filled by the Muslim Brotherhood and sundry fascisms.
Doesn’t leave a good taste.
“You shall know them by their fruits”.
Rotten fruits, and even nastier taste.
Assange didn’t produce anything, he didn’t create the fucking war or the vaccuum, that was the scum doing the invading and killing. For fuck’s sake he published facts, that is his crime.
Straight to the point. +1
Excellent, spot on.
Thanks, I’ve actually compared notes with a couple ofCoptic priests, on separate occasions, it’s hard to miss them out and about, in their black cassocks. They, longtime residents of Cairo, both agreed point by point with my assessment. I traced the steps by which Assanges’s leaks first caused havoc in the Tunisian power structure, and the rest were dominos. Mohammed Morsi, erstwhile victor of the protests in Cairo, was educated next door to me in L.A., at USC, where my father had taught law for 2 decades+, then Morsi went to work for NASA….? The one disagreement with the 2ndCoptic priest, during the lift in the lockdowns, summer of ’20, was that I alleged Morsi had been assassinated in 2019, though official reports had him dying in jail. The priest said, “No, he died of a heart attack’.” I countered,”Yeah, and his brother died within a couple months of him… Read more »
It’s interesting that Wikileaks was founded 5 years after 9/11 i.e. at a time when the suspicions of that event were mounting and Assange was always implacably hostile to any alternative accounts. He was part of that chorus who would chirp about the “real crimes” of the state rather than (allegedly) imaginary ones.
And then the now disgraced WSWS would have their entire main page given over to Assange, as did Consortium. None of which is meant to imply that Assange is “in on it”. His distress is probably real. But there are no doubt many shades between spook and dupe. And many different pawn configurations.
Compared to forcing millions to get a toxic needle, ruining their businesses, livelihoods, causing family and friend dislocation any thing Julian may have done pales into insignificance,,..and one can almost bet the perpetrators of the current crimes against humanity will be let off on basis of following orders and science…
I occasionally feel for Julian as he wandered around my neck of the woods for a time long ago…would have been better to have lived the simple life here but some of us have interesting destinies we are obviously drawn too.
more diversionary bullshit.
Although i’d have to say that gaining complete apathy on the part of the public re his treatment paved the way for Operation Pandemic.
Well, yes, if it’s really apathy, or if coronapalooza is…. flu, or bat dung, from outer space.
Was it “apathy” that started modern America on its road down, paved or otherwise, when most everyone ignored the signs of a Nazi coup d’état with the JFK murder? A lot of “citizens” were OK with that. I felt it, as an eleven years old. 4 years before that I had my eyebrows seriously raised when I learned that my fanboy’s NASA space race was headed by Hitler’s top rocket scientist. When I complained, a LOT of neighbors (in our well-heeled town of Newport Beach, CA) were wary of me. The same people started calling me “hostile”.
Still am!
I took an an interest in and followed this incredible story from very early on. While acknowledging that there may be elements to the whole wikileaks/Assange affair that are unknowable to most, I believe that anything less than the immediate release of Mr Assange further darkens the growing stain on the UK justice system and the nation’s ability to make independent decisions on crucial matters of international concern.
Regardless of your stance on the case, the treatment of this human being by the parties responsible is inhuman and deplorable and should be roundly condemned. We should be better than this by now.
The haters of Assange are the pollies whose crimes were exposed and the media too lazy to do any actual work. His arrest and abuse is disgusting on every level and the tired old bullshit of ”no matter what you think of Assange” blah, blah, blah has to fucking stop.
It’s wrong. FULL STOP, END,
And we know this because… The same people who are selling the flu as a killer told us so?
Assange, started out as a teen hacker based on Magnetic Island apparently. Fuck me, they still use push bikes as the main mode of transport on the island.
Pretty sure there was no internet connection on the island back in the early 90s. I was living in Townsville at the time and was an early adopter of the internet. There were few providers back then, usually local ISPs, micro providers with servers in there garage.
More lies…
There’s something wrong with that?
Bit defensive there Cliff.
Don’t worry, i’m an environmentalist too, not by my avatar status, but by action. However, not to the extreme of WEF you understand.
My point was time moves slowly on the Island. It’s an unlikely story that Mr Assange was a early day hacker situated on a prehistoric Island with little communication, let alone advance internet.
But since I’m explaining myself here, it’s likely you have missed my point.
I’m not worried at all. Your point is blunt.
Suspect you may have to check exactly where he was when he started the game of hacking…I have memories of it being melbourne…not sure they stayed long on mag is…he was here on atherton tableland at some point early….there were the odd servers around…and other interesting ways to connect to the net that I witnessed by computer experts…
Check where Edith? Are you suggesting I need to investigate further. Why not simply show us the compelling evidence that has convinced you, don’t leave us all in suspenders.
He lived in Melbourne
I heard that the family moved about a lot when he was young after they got mixed up in a “cult” incidentally called the Family.
We know that Assange, like Ellsberg worked for CIA. Ellsberg didn’t go to jail, Assange did.
There were reasons, but none really that exonerate either one.

Outing CIA black ops doesn’t really seem very practicable, or an ironclad life insurance policy. So there’s always that to throw a little shade on the respective alibis of both!

This is such an obvious ploy to stop people from speaking out. It’s crazy to me to that speaking Truth is seen as being a crime where you can be locked up forever.
In a documentary on Mordechai Vanunu (who exposed Israel’s nuclear research), an associate was asked to comment, and replied with a shake of the head, “We know what they did to Vanunu.”
“In the world according to TB.Liar, telling the truth is a capital offense.” — with apologies to 1984.
Dr.David Kelly, RIP.
I would agree, a few years in advance of the crime of the century. Speak out if you dare.
I totally agree! Extraditing him at this point sends multiple messages, but probably not any of them good. Well, at least in regards to most of the public, or world itself, which doesn’t yet seem to have any true clue as to Assange’s allegiances. (In our era of quintuple crosses, or asymmetric espionage, perhaps even Mr. Assange no longer has one, who could blame him. But all the same he no doubt still sides with what may or not be the public interest, against extradition. Or not. The waters have all been muddied, and at various depths, so who knows..) Either Mrs. Assange, or the crowd behind her, seems to be dancing? Am I right? That’s just simple multi-tasking. Maybe a two-step naturally comes with a public display. (We had one like it in grammar school lo these many years, some yanks might still remember it, “You do the Hokey… Read more »
I think HMG has gone rouge ever since early 2020. They have used military grade PsyOps through their Nudge Unit, aka BIT, raining fear and damnation upon their own people.

I feel so powerless. One way or another I have been campaigning on behalf of all journalists, not just Assange, but his case is perhaps the highest profile. My country, the country I love and was raised in, has gone from being a country that largely opposed human rights breaches to one which wholeheartedly supports them. Journalists are not allowed to have a different opinion from mainstream – in short we have gone full Nazi.

In the case of Willem Engel the Dutch court did the right thing, at least temporarily. This shows there are still honest people among the judiciary. There were thousands of letters in support of Willem Engel and hopefully that played a part.
There are many thousands of times more of us than there are of the would-be global-owners. Tomorrow is not the time to take action.
This really needed to be nipped in the bud while Bliar was fawning over GWB back in 2003.
Some tried, but not enough.
So of course things got even worse.

Which country is that ?
Sad, but also predictable. There’s been a reasonably successful full court press to neutralize him, to paint him as an egomaniac, a dangerous yet irrelevant looney sort that relies on the short attention span of the public but unconvincing for those of us who are cursed with longer memories. All this has done is drag the legal system (and by extension the government) of the UK into disrepute — but then anyone who’s been half awake in recent times knows they don’t have much of a ‘repute’ to ‘dis’ to start with.
Once in the US Federal system I don’t rate his chances too highly.
Don’t trust the Wikileaks story? This would mean not believing that US foreign policy has been the prosecution of violent empire since the Spanish American “War”. Anyone who knows history knows the US is the most violent murderous country on Earth post WW2. Exposing just fraction of this to the mainstream makes Assange untrustworthy? Please. Get a clue. Cointelpro at home. CIA abroad. Slaves at home, slaves abroad. The master empire.
Wikipedia, not exactly a radical source tells us 1000x what Assange did. Right in the open. Truth that even the CIA does not dispute. Read some history and get a clue.

@Sandy: in what anti-imperialist bubble a la Caitlin Johnstone do you live and exclusively socialise? Some Politics department with a Marxist tradition? Because your assumption that “anyone who knows history” know what you know is wrong. That is because the bulk of the sheeple in Western countries do not know and do not want to know. As C Austin Fitts says US citizens have been doing well out of Empire. As John Connally said, the US dollar is our currency and your problem .I estimate that 1 in 1,000 will have heard of Cointelpro. And I suspect it is entirely possible to get a degree in US Studies without having been told of it. Btw, do you yourself know who Harry Elmer Barnes was? I thought not. That is why Harold Pinter held his famous Nobel Prize on the topic in 2005 or so. Hence Assange is indeed a danger… Read more »
Of course he is. I was trying to point the absurdity of making him an enemy of the state when the greatest enemy to all of us is the State.
There’s a difference between trusting WikiLeaks and believing some of the stuff they put out. All controlled ops and honeypots put out some gold. Just enough to convince the gullible.
what a fucked up censorship site. if you write the word M o s s a n g e your comment will not be published.
sigh…
your other comments where you call the man ‘Mossange’ are also right where you put them btw
I think that only a finite idiot will believe that MSM (superhero published in NYT, Spigel, Guardian, Economist, etc.) would allow to publish anything against its owners.
Could someone finally write what Mossange revealed that we would not have known before, except that he helped destroy rival Rothschilds in Switzerland, supported the Empire’s “Arab Spring” with his “revelations” and supported the official version of 911? Anything?
and one more thing
If you say Corbett is right about the war in Ukraine, why are you denying his opinion about Mossange? And if he is not right about Mossange, why is he right about Ukraine?
All of those facts are damning of his credibility to be an anti establishment journalist.
Are they “denying his opinion” about Assange? What is his opinion? They don’t seem to be denying it whatever it is. They don’t seem to be denying anything.

Why is one eye shaded? I like the artwork…
Thank you for that reminder of a man who tried to warn us of early signs of a plague that is now engulfing the earth.
Gary Webb, RIP.
Thank you.Perhaps you could have done this in two posts? JA and Gary Webb are like night and day.
Here’s an interesting article I just read. It’s not about Mr Assange; yet neither is it “off topic.” It shows what the state of that bugaboo thing-a-ma-jig we call The Law has degenerated to. While Mr Assange gets extradited, innocent folks in the US get just a bit more roughed up.

yeah a swat team came to my neighborhood, full on military style humvee/tank, dozens of cops, sniffer dogs. Terrorized the whole quiet street. Later I found out it was to serve a warrant. FFS.
How else are They going to train the swat except ‘on the job’ ? Almost daily in a busy inner Sydney suburb, Sarge, followed by half a dozen newly minted Enforcers, like a mother duck leading her brood, is on the prowl for your stereotypical “Loser” to use to teach the brood how to do a “body search” in public, without feeling self-conscious, embarrassed… The Loser, always a young male “scruff”, is stood against a wall, stripped almost naked, every inch of him, his clothes and kit, thoroughly searched. The Loser is degraded, humiliated in public… The brood form a semi-circle, backs to the public. Body language: evident is discomfort, even shame over the humiliation they are inflicting on the stranger… But they wont be Good Enforcers if they bother about his feelings or what the public thinks about the ‘work’ they are required to do. They wont be Good… Read more »
“Wir klopft nicht an” (We do not knock). SS slogan.
Why knock when you can bust the door?
But what do you think?
Its quite a PR make over for David Davis he has ‘new media’ mention him quite a lot.

Cant Assange’s legal team prank call Priti Patel ?
This is entirely consistent for David Davis.
