you’ve answered your own question wendy - we are lap dogs of the US - subservient, obsequious, brown nosing servants of a criminal master. we are prepared to sacrifice our own to keep sweet with a criminal state and as long as those at the top benefit from their criminality at the expense of the truth and those who deliver it we mean nothing.
too true... while we are the majority, we don't have the Voice that others do - those who have the mega phone with Uni students indoctrination, mainstream and social media. That's why the left started saying "it's my truth" - as if that's acceptable? ... that's just crap, the truth is the truth... not what your preference of the truth is. A world upside down... Orwell would be rolling over in his grave, albeit he warned that this would happen in his book 1984.
It seems to me that Assange’s case becomes more important every day. With the relentless persecution of journalists in Gaza and the increasing censorship of speech in the US and most of the West, how his case plays out is no small matter in the eyes of the world (to say nothing of here in the US).
we who value freedom of speech and the presenting of visual witness to the criminal depredations against journalists and publishers are in your egregious debt, george. thank you for maintaining an enduring commitment to julian assange's decades-long martyrdom against the power-elite in the US and UK. their collective malfeasance against those, like assange, who courageously dare to pull their nefarious crimes into the sphere of public illumination, must be divulgated regnantly, tirelessly, and ubiquitously.
The Shiptons have no choice but to take the approach they're taking. But it seems to me that while they're accepting the framing of this being a legal battle over a criminal case, that's not what's really going on here. What's really going on is that a very powerful empire in its dotage, feels threatened by the rise of other power centers, and threatened by the revelations that came from Wikileaks. This empire depends on a constant barrage of propaganda manipulation of opinion, especially at home. The media--the "mainstream", mass, corporate media--are all extremely obedient and will push whatever narrative the CIA tells them to push, even when it's absurd, and this has kept dissent down to a dull roar --along with the manipulations that have herded people into two hostile camps, which has kept the ruling class unchallenged even as it vacuums in more wealth than perhaps ever before in history for itself at the expense of everyone else and future generations.. Wikileaks, with Assange at its helm, blew holes in their narrative.
So I don't think they'll release him and I don't think they'll import him to the US, unless they kill him on the way, because I don't think they want a trial or to have Assange in prison in the US for years. The object is to have him visibly suffer, year after year, as a warning to journalists that exposing the empire's villainy has too high a personal price. Therefore they want the legal back-and-forth to go on as long as possible.
I keep thinking that if Assange were free and Wikileaks was still a viable enterprise, someone in Mossad might have leaked documents showing that they knew exactly what was coming on October 7, possibly even assisted it, as a deliberate plan to sacrifice 1000 Jews to justify a full ethnic cleansing of Gaza, with the hope that Egypt would take the refugees, creating huge tent camps in the desert for decades. That might be the one thing that would be a bridge too far for both Israelis and US people.
So, so true ... much we don't don't know when it comes to the truth with false flags etc. The Media are supposed to "keep them honest", yet all they do is facilitate the corruption for whoever they politically support. Hence why alternative media, like George - is just so important.
Great article George and thank you for shedding light on this issue. Question is; why isn't the AUS govt doing more for one of our own? we're part of the 5 eyes with the US, we significantly contributed to the Russian Collusion lie and debacle in 2016 to give Hilary Clinton (a true criminal) a way out, we made things harder for Trump as a new President. We are the lap dogs of the US and they treat us just like that. The actual whistle blower who gave Assange the information, was imprisoned for a short amount of time, then his sex change op was paid for by Obama and he's treated like a hero because he's now a "woman" and Assange was brutalized and victimized ... his extradition to the US is a death sentence. If we can't have faith in our own government to force the US to release him to us, we can't rely on them to help its own citizens in times of crisis. This could be any one of us. Albanese is only good at buying votes, spending billions on meaningless items that don't help the majority of Australians - his complete ineptness is astounding. Once again, we look like the 51st State of America, run by corrupt Democrats.

Thank you for this update. US must stop this persecution of Julian Assange.

How long is Julian Assange supposed to suffer?
How long does it take for a few judges to decide on whether to deport or not?
I have had only one feeling with regard to this and that is, the powers that be are wanting Julian to die soon so they won't have to deal with it.
IF this happens or extradition, people will understand that there is NO mercy or law in either country!
