Julian Assange was never in a cult. Ever. Not even for five minutes. Never on cult premises, never a member.

Christine Assange was never in a cult. Ever. Not even for five minutes. Never on cult premises, never a member.

People claiming they were, are recirculating smears.
The reason some people think the Assanges were in a cult, is because malign forces wanting to smear Julian, took something he said about a third person and then extrapolated it by 10 steps, assigning it to him directly & laundering the smear from conspiracy circles to mainstream.
The calculated process of laundering smears of targets from agents into mainstream narrative, and then onto the official historical record, is one I've been studying and covering in my @1vs5i livestream series. I'll also be covering it off in the article I'm presently writing.

THREAD

Julian Assange has a very large, very loyal, very disparate, global support base. Since his silencing, they have been largely kept in the dark about many aspects of what is going on within the organisation he built, his legal case, his status and the campaign to free him.
This highly problematic information vacuum has created an environment that aids and fosters the circulation of misinformation and smears. It provides cover to those with malign intent, and makes many supporters lambs to the slaughter insofar as narrative is concerned.
Because those who thirst for information in the absence of reliable official sources of it, become susceptible to rumour and conjecture. They are easily misled and manipulated. They are disempowered.

I too, have been party to the general silence. It doesn't sit right with me.

Agreed - it frustrates me deeply when alternate media sets their narratives by whatever the "Deep State TV" (credit: @aaronjmate) is pushing this week

Countering them is important, but at our best we force them to chase OUR narratives. Must shift focus!

@aaronjmate Key example: 2013-2016 we (particularly WL/Snowden et al) were firmly in control of the conversation and the MSM were forced to chase after and try to discredit our narratives. They were on the back foot. We were setting the agenda. We lost that post-election. Need to get it back
@aaronjmate Election cycles in mass media seem to exist:

* to distract the populace for 18 months
* to maintain veneer of democracy
* to make bank
* to control narratives

Without WL to do it this time around, it's on us to change the conversation and push MSM onto the back foot

For the record, I reached out to Kiwi investigative journos including @paulapenfold about the targeting of me, long *before* I left New Zealand.

I called @avancenz the *day after* agents tried to run me off the road.

NZ media knew what was happening & they said & did nothing.
@paulapenfold @avancenz These same media judge me for leaving NZ, when they wouldn't lift a finger to protect myself and my children while we were still in NZ.

The Police refused to act to protect me. Media refused to act to protect me. What choices did I have as a targeted solo mother alone? None.
@paulapenfold @avancenz NZ media are still failing myself and my children, to this day. The lack of conscience on display is frankly chilling.

MEP Clare Daly speaking last night on the US DOJ's political prosecution ploy against Julian #Assange: "What is at stake here is fundamental press freedoms and if the Espionage Act is used in this way and this extradition is successful then society itself will be fatally wounded"
"So what's at stake here is an attempt to criminalise journalism," Ms Daly told a crowd gathered in the New Theatre in central Dublin. "That's what Julian's prosecution is about: his attempts to hold the powerful to account." @ClareDalyMEP @wikileaks @couragefound
"There's an 18-count indictment -- it's about receiving national defense information and disclosing that information to persons who are not entitled to know. And the persons who are not entitled to know are us: the public," the Irish MEP said. @ClareDalyMEP @wikileaks

Not a convention debate! We're going to do a series of one on one debates. Robin Lustig interviews @arusbridger first. #assange
Lustig: what we are going to discuss here is whether #Assange is deserving of our solidarity. Ok then, let's have that conversation..
Rusbridger: #assange has many different identities, but he's certainly part journalist. "the things he is accused of are things journalists do every day of the week, or should do"

Julian #Assange has been charged with conspiracy to commit journalism. The free press has not ducked a bullet here; it’s taken one to the chest. 1/7
Here are the “manners and means of the conspiracy" from the indictment. There are only four of them. 2/7
1) “It was part of the conspiracy that Assange and Manning used the ‘Jabber’ online chat service to collaborate…” THEY USED AN ENCRYPTED TEXTING APP TO COMMUNICATE 3/7

#Assange Prosecution Will Focus On #ChelseaManning Era Releases, Not #DNCEmails

disobedientmedia.com/2018/11/assang…
Recent reports have indicated that formerly secret charges pending against #JulianAssange will focus on material relating to @xychelsea and the earliest releases published by #WikiLeaks.
This latest news directly counters allegations published by #Russiagate hysterics, who suggested the charges would relate to WikiLeaks’ 2016 publications of the #DNC and #JohnPodesta emails.
