1. oggi vedo su #Repubblica l'accusa più antica del mondo: i #pacifisti accusati di fare il gioco del nemico,di essere la quinta colonna della Russia o del dittatore di turno.C'è un libro maestoso che dovete leggere: "The Burglary" di Betty Medsger. E' solo in inglese
2. Betty Medsger era giornalista del Washington Post durante la guerra in #Vietnam: i pacifisti scelsero lei per farle arrivare un pacco di documenti che provavano la guerra sporca dell'#FBI di Edgar Hoover contro i pacifisti
3. un gruppo di #pacifisti,tra cui professori universitari di alta estrazione sociale, si addestrarono, entrarono la notte del famoso incontro di boxe Mohammed Ali-Frazier, nella sede dell'FBI e rubarono i documenti dell'FBI che provavano la guerra sporca contro i pacifisti

Set to (online) attend The Belmarsh Tribunal hosted by @ProgIntl: with @Stella_Assange @yanisvaroufakis @MaryKostakidis @bobjcarr @BridgetArcherMP @suigenerisjen & others calling for release of Julian Assange cc @CroakeyNews
FYI from @ProgIntl: Belmarsh Tribunal is inspired by the Russell-Sartre Tribunals of the Vietnam War, brings together a range of expert witnesses — lawyers, journalists, MPs, union officials, whistleblowers and human rights defenders — to press for Assange's release

Ukraine may turn out to be the first climate-driven war in Europe. This IS climate statecraft. thread. 1/n
2/n The notion that it is only climate policy when 100+ nations sit in a circle and decide *by consensus* is profoundly strange. Always has been.
A serious failure of imagination in climate analysts and scientists.

I am following the #BelmarshTribunal today. Listening to the details of the Assange case it is always distressing, even after so many years. The magnitude of the case, its ripercussions and the human costs on Assange are astonishing and outrageous. A blatant abuse of power.
It can't be said louder and clearer: this is the biggest case against journalism of this era, made even more concerning following recent revelations on CIA plans for actually assassinating JA. The case has all the reasons for causing international outrage. Yet, it is not.
Reasons for this are several, mostly political or related to opportunism. JA is an "easy target", as said by @ewenmacaskill at the #BelmarshTribunal earlier today. This case is about destroying him and set a precedent. And it is about publishing secrets. It is about journalism.
"Julian Assange is put on trial for revealing war crimes, while the real criminals drink champagne and celebrate the Apocalypse." — @HorvatSrecko
"Unlike the Russell Tribunal, we do not need witnesses, WikiLeaks has already revealed the crimes, from the assassination of innocent civilians to torture." — @HorvatSrecko
