It is not enough for journalists to see themselves as mere messengers without understanding the hidden agendas of the message and the myths that surround it

The Vichy journalists of the MSM have finally taken fright that the monstrous US charges against Julian #Assange are now a threat to them. Yet the cowards at the NYT, the Guardian etc continue to smear this heroic man who shamed them by refusing to join their gatekeepers' club.

The fascist nature of the charges against Julian #Assange is demonstrated by those that relate to documents about Guantanamo Bay and "CIA detainee interrogation videos" -- torture videos. If the courts in Britain do not stop this grotesque charade, justice will lose all meaning.

The filthy war on Julian #Assange and Chelsea Manning, whose heresy is to have revealed the crimes of great power, intensifies. Craven Sweden plays to its theatre of darkness while Assange the prisoner is denied even his glasses. Read this fine piece ....

I visited Julian #Assange in prison. He has been ill, but his courage is astonishing. He is locked up for up to 23 hours. Let no one doubt he is a political prisoner, fraudulent events in Sweden included. His crime is truthful journalism. Shame on those who feign otherwise.

The ex head of the Swedish Bar Association condemns Assange's treatment as "deplorable". Texts by the women involved were suppressed, After the alleged offence, Anna Arden texted her delight at being with Assange and "the world's coolest people". She later said, "I was not raped"

Sweden suppresses vital evidence in the Assange case. Damning texts from the women include: "I did not want to put any charges against JA," and "it was the police who fabricated the charges”. Once extradited, Assange faces a secret trial, with no jury. This is an epic injustice.

The Swedish case against Julian Assange stinks and has always stunk. One of the women involved said the police "railroaded" her. As in Pompeo's Washington, the aim is to "get" Assange regardless of facts: for the crime of embarrassing corrupt power.

The persecution of Julian Assange and the US assault on Venezuela are two urgent issues. In this interview on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, I refute the disinformation campaigns against both. Here's the audio link. abc.net.au/radionational/…

Whatever abuse of justice British magistrates hand down to Julian Assange, remember his words: “I do not wish to surrender myself for extradition for doing journalism which has protected many, many people”. Now we must protect him with massive support. Please think about it.

Mark Weisbrot's and Jeffrey Sachs's shocking report that the US embargo on Venezuela has killed 40,000 people has almost no media pick up. No surprise; but consider the suffering, and the prospect of a Pinochet-style coup, the next time the Guardian solicits donations.

While the "left" in the US embraces the Democratic Party, a prime source of imperialist violence, and Jeremy Corbyn remains effectively silent, in France an extraordinary movement grows, and grows. theguardian.com/world/2019/apr…

The Extinction Rebellion consuming London streets is an inspiration. This is real politics. Imagine the same rebellion in support of Julian Assange. Now is the time to show the thugs who rule and arrest and their tame Vichy journalists that "ye are many, they are few".

Peter Greste, imprisoned by Egypt and now UNESCO chair of journalism at Queensland University and ubiquitous "press freedom advocate", writes that Julian Assange is not a journalist and is unworthy of our support. His students must challenge him. He is a disgrace.

This is a superb statement by Christine Assange, mother of Julian. She tweeted: “Shame on you Lenín Moreno ! May the Ecuadorean people seek vengeance upon you, you you dirty, deceitful traitor! May the face of my suffering son haunt your sleepless nights ... " Amen to that!

This man is a son, a father, a brother. He has won dozens of journalism awards. He's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize every year since 2010. Powerful actors, including CIA, are engaged in a sophisticated effort to dehumanise, delegitimize and imprison him. #ProtectJulian pic.twitter.com/dVBf1EcMa5

The action of the British police in literally dragging Julian Assange from the Ecuadorean embassy and the smashing of international law by the Ecuadorean regime in permitting this barbarity are crimes against the most basic natural justice. This is a warning to all journalists.

WikiLeaks reports that Julian Assange is on the verge of being expelled from the Ecuadorean Embassy in London. Please fill the street outside the embassy and protect him, and show solidarity with a courageous man, whose struggle ought to touch us all. twitter.com/wikileaks/stat…
