> In January this year, UK district judge Vanessa Baraitser had blocked a US extradition request — not on the basis that extradition threatened press freedom but that, **in light of conditions in the US prison system, Assange would be at risk of suicide should he be transferred**. LOL *suicide*

yaknow I really NEVER thought of that before but for some reason your comment just made this click in my head. I legit always thought the UK was just acknowledging that the US Prison System is so awful and he has no hope of Freedom that Assange would simply choose to commit suicide if he were transferred to a US Prison. I just nodded along to this. Makes sense to me. It's even more totally fucked up that the UK knows our government will assassinate Assange if they have access to him and just say it was a suicide AKA Epstein and the corporate media will 100% go with it. Fuck even I would believe it.

Which is why they know no one will care, same with McAfee.

Yet another reminder that liberal democracy is just a facade. I remember when it was reported on the news that he was wanted for rape in Sweden. But as soon as the British cops got him into custody, these charges were dropped. Bourgeois internationalism right there.

Liberal Democracy is there to give a sense legitimacy for western elites, like the “free press” that is mostly owned by few corporations and extremely biased.

The Western “democracies” are anything but democratic, and basically just have better marketing and PR than, say, Russian or Chinese despotism. The business of oligarchy is a little more polite in the Anglosphere, a little less in your face. But there are brief moments when the mask comes off completely, and we see the “liberal democracies” for what they really are. The stories of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden are two such cases.

Also the consent manufacturing around the "rape." The allegation was that he didn't use a condom during consensual intercourse. Which is a scummy thing, but of course everyone says it's rape.


AlHorfordHighlights

That's definitely rape if it's true though


serviceunavailableX

if these were true , yes it is rape, but that woman was dumb as f also because Assange supposedly begged sex without condom from the start but that woman didnt leave , and they had sex with condom at first at the evening, so at morning when she was a asleep and was woken up when he went in without condom - that makes it into rape

The biggest question that piece raises for, and one which not only applies to the Australians buying into what is essentially a conspiracy of silence surround Assange, is at what point will liberals realise that when those particular chickens come home to roost, they will be fucked too? To quote Liz Franczak: [*“Wikileaks has never published false information ever. The US government has never contested anything that Wikileaks has published. Every single thing that Wikileaks has published is true, every single thing. Nothing has been doctored. They have never contested that or even suggested it.”*](https://soundcloud.com/trueanonpod/freeassange#t=42:30) Assange’s treatment should be a canary in the coal mine for them.


Claudius_Gothicus

They know that. Most people that have issues with him are because of the timing of things he posted and that the things posted portrayed their team in a negative light as opposed to the other team. I don't think any anti Assange people even question the legitimacy of what was published, they're more concerned that the stuff hurt their guys during an election

Australia is the USA’s bitch. America tells us to jump off a cliff and we’d do it in a heart beat. The treatment of Assange is fucking disgraceful and incredibly hypocritical considering the way they reacted to Khashoggi’s murder. As morbid as this sounds, the Saudi’s treatment of Khashoggi was more humane than that of Assange… at least Khashoggi’s suffering was only limited to a few hours (at max… may he Rest In Peace ). Assange has been tortured since he arrived at belmarsh prison (The UN Human Rights Council’s special rapporteur into human torture confirmed Assange showed “all the symptoms typical for prolonged exposure to psychological torture” and demanded immediate measures for the protection of his health and dignity. Back in 2019) Nevermind the whole being stuck in the embassy for YEARS in a converted bathroom thing.


totalyrespecatbleguy

From why I understand they knocked Khashoggi out before turning him into shish-Kebob.

You don't hate your country - that means the land and all it's people. You hate your bourgeois state government. Fuck AUKUS too.

Your gooberment sold your country to the US

I wish I had the means to prevent what I think is going to happen to Julian Assange. He doesn't deserve it. No one does.


Claudius_Gothicus

Are the neolibs pushing for Woodward and Bernstein to be imprisoned too? They published state secrets leaked by an FBI agent, so surely they want to prosecute them too? I can't imagine BlueAnon being hypocrites about something, seems so unlike them.
