This headline makes it sound like he's obsessed with gore videos– instead of highlighting how US prisons, esp. ADX or ADC where he's likely to be sent, are so inhumane they make people want to kill themselves.
The article omits that Dr. Blackwood has never been to a US prison, has no expertise on this issue.
He also based his report on AUSA Kromberg's affidavit (the prosecution!), thinking Alexandria detention has no solitary confinement. He didn't even read the defense's submission.
Assange is entitled to the First Amendment because he's human. You don't have to be a journalist or otherwise.
"Wrongdoing" seems a bit mild to describe assassinations, torture programs, or a mass grave of 15,000 Iraqis. Perhaps war crimes or mass murder might be more fitting?
The way MSM report on the #Assange trial is abysmal. They're practically working for the prosecution at this point, skewing whatever they can find for click bait. Almost every expert witness warns the court this is a witch hunt and Assange's life is in danger – which they omit.

BREAKING: Julian Assange has been granted limited leave to appeal by the High Court.
I have just been given the ruling and will provide more information below
Before I include more points of order (the ruling is around 66 pages) this means that Assange has not exhausted his legal options in the United Kingdom, and may yet convince a court to stay and bar the extradition to the United States
This is a full explanation of the Assange case, please watch it if unfamiliar (and even if you are) as it encapsulates the entire issue in one video.
There's no such thing as a "debate" about Israel. You don't debate theft. Theft is wrong.
Israelis are thieves. That's what colonialism is. This is not their land, and as long as they are there, there will be resistance. They will leave one day whether they like it or not.
What Israel have done is ruin the Jewish communities in Arab countries. The Israelis, on purpose, created hostile environments toward Jews in Arab countries, specifically to make them leave to Israel. How do we return these communities now? This is the only question that matters.
But the majority of Israelis, the Israelis who make political decisions, the ones who created the terrorist groups Haganah, Irgun, Lehi-- which then became the IDF-- they're all Europeans, and they can simply go back to Europe where they belong like all European colonizers.
Alas, Victoria Nuland resigns, her 10-year war against Russia a giant, pathetic flop.
My favorite moment was her trip to Niger last summer after the coup, expecting the red carpet treatment, and instead Tchiani refuses to meet and sends his adjutants.😂
Speaking of which, Putin ground Nuland and NATO's war against Russia to a total halt using well-placed, insurmountable fortifications. This is why the famed "spring counteroffensive" never came.
Russia's stockpiling and mass-production of shells, which the West couldn't catch to even in 50 years, is another major factor:
BRICS, and outmaneuvering sanctions also contributed to Russia's victory:
🧵THREAD: It's forbidden to say anything good about Yemen. If you do, the frauds calling themselves "fact-checkers" will descend on you to reinforce Western propaganda.
Take these two people, "Charlotte Green" and "Alex Demas" and their funny emails to me.
Yemen ensured the crew of a UK ship (RUBYMAR) got to safety after they had attacked it for violating the blockade. Crew were taken by a passing vessel to Djibouti, but that doesn't mean Yemen didn't help ensure their rescue. As I said, Yemen confirmed this in English & Arabic.
(People like Alex Demas and Charlotte Green, would know this if they weren't lazy. But they don't want you to hear the other side).
Yemen have never lied or given incorrect information in a press briefing. And neither Djibouti, nor the crew dispute that Yemen helped.
Palestinians get Palestine, and israelis return to their original countries.
It is a very selfish thing to be a Zionist: you leave your country to go take another person's country and then kick them while they're down
Many Israelis have dual citizenship. Those who don't can easily obtain nationality of their parents'/grandparents' countries & end the war
BTW, a story that comes to mind: when the Israelis wanted to kill a resistance leader in Dubai, one of them pretended his parents were Holocaust survivors to get German citizenship. Germany caught him, then sent him to israel. They also forged UK/US/Oz passports. Zero backlash.
LIVE THREAD: Day 2 of Assange High Court Hearing (2024)
I am attending Julian Assange’s hearing today from inside the Royal Courts of Justice. Live updates below and subsequent coverage on rumble.com/richardmedhurst
I'm seated in the court and hearing has just begun.
Please read my reporting on Day 1 of the hearing here if you haven't already:
Julian Assange not attending because not feeling well. He was not present yesterday either. This is due to years of persecution by this very US indictment and other state retaliation for his disclosures of US war crimes.
