@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz 1/ John Pilger: Julian is confined to a glass corridor. "For Julian to talk to his lawyer, he must get on his knees & try to make a sign to people who have their backs to him."
@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz 2/ John Pilger: He can send it [a note] through a chain of 4 people to the barristers arguing his case at the front. He must speak through a slit in the glass. "His knees must be quite abraised at the end of it [the day in court]."
@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz 3/ John Pilger (paraphrased): He [Assange] is stripped naked, strip searched, x-rayed, shackled - goes through at least three checks at least as draconian as this ...
@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz 4/ John Pilger (paraphrased): ... and then as @StellaMoris1 says, he [Assange] is moved in what looks like a large refrigerator van for 1 1/2 hours to the court...

"I'm always astonished at the man's resilience."
@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz @StellaMoris1 5/ John Pilger: "Throughout the day, he's [Assange] forever taking notes, trying to pass these notes to the barristers."

@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz @StellaMoris1 6/ John Pilger: "This is a show trial of the worse kind. Due process has been replaced by due revenge."

@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz @StellaMoris1 7/ John Pilger: It's a capricious, it's a cruel occasion ... In so many ways, Julian Assange is now [our] collective conscience.
"People like Dan [Ellsberg], people like Julian are critical to society's sense of decency."

@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz @StellaMoris1 8/ John Pilger (paraphrased): The court is using those issues [argued now] to conceal war crimes. Cablegate showed the British army ... exposed what was happening in Sweden ...
@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz @StellaMoris1 9/ John Pilger (paraphrased): [Cablegate exposed] that Hillary Clinton had ordered diplomats to steal information, DNA...from other U.N. diplomats; that Britain's Iraq inquiry was fixed "to protect U.S. interests."

@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz @StellaMoris1 10/ John Pilger: All of it [documents released by WikiLeaks] was authentic. It's 100 percent authentic ... including 800,000 files from Russia.

@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz @StellaMoris1 12/ @johnpilger ~36:28: "This prosecution has been left with redaction as an issue. Redaction isn't an issue."

Brig. Gen. Carr spent a year with a team that investigated if anyone had come into harms way. He said, "There are no specific examples..."
@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz @StellaMoris1 13/@johnpilger ~min 37: Set in the context of what WikiLeaks revealed ... a recent study by Brown U ... 37 million people have been displaced by the war on terror with 12 million deaths. "That's what @wikileaks was giving us true evidence of."
@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz @StellaMoris1 @wikileaks 14/ @DanielEllsberg ~min 44: "When they [the U.S.] were offered the chance to redact ... when they were asked to give those names so they could be redacted, they refused to do that."
See thread.

@Consortiumnews @DanielEllsberg @johnpilger @AMercouris @KimDotcom @unjoe @ElizabethleaVos @DEAcampaign @couragefound @CathyVoganSPK @caitoz @StellaMoris1 @wikileaks 15/ @DanielEllsberg ~min 45: Ellsberg ironically compares the movie,The Man in the Glass Box (about the war criminal Eichman's trial) to Assange's trial.

"It's as if the one who EXPOSED the holocaust [Assange] is sitting in a glass cage."

@wikileaks I’m glad NYT called out the Guardian story as bunk, but this one has so many lies.

“Not only had Mr. Assange not been charged at the time of Mr. Manafort’s trip ...”

WRONG! JA’s indictment is sealed. Most evidence suggests it is from 2010-11 regarding the Manning trial. 1/?
@wikileaks NYT, you need new fact checkers.

There is NO EVIDENCE for this statement:

“... about the role that Mr. Assange and WikiLeaks played in facilitating the Russian effort to help Mr. Trump in the 2016 presidential electio ...”. 2/?
@wikileaks AUTHORS of this bunk?

“...secretly pursued a plan to provide him a diplomatic post in Russia as a way to free him from confinement in the embassy in London.”

Include Dan Collyns & Luke Harding, the discredited authors of the Guardian story YOU ARE DISCOUNTING HERE. 3/?

#BeingJulianAssange

Amazing conversation! Tonight with @Suzi3D , @KimDotcom and @ElizabethleaVos

Thread from it begins below:

Kim: his interest in @wikileaks started when “Collateral Murder” was released. Kim already knew the reason for the Iraq war was fabricated.
2/
#BeingJulianAssange

Kim:

“When @wikileaks releases the collateral damage video and documents, we were getting this no where else. Media was compliant to the #DeepState.”
3/
#BeingJulianAssange

Kim:

@wikileaks became the last beacon of hope that we would be told the truth...donated big then and have been following the story of @JulianAssange and Wikileaks since then.”
