.@YouTube @YouTubeCreators is censoring my report on Israeli soldiers choking an elderly Palestinian man Khairi Hanoun in the same way George Floyd was killed in a knee-hold by police.

YouTube restricts videos like this and Collateral Murder to cover for US & Israeli war crimes. Image
The report in question.
Khairi Hanoun is 60 years old. He was peacefully protesting against further illegal annexations before IOF choked him.
IOF then proceeded to smash the car window and point a machine gun in the driver’s face, with Hanoun in the back waiting to be taken to hospital.

1. A British appeals court has overturned a July ruling which recognized the US-backed puppet Guaido as Venezuela's interim president.

The Bank of England used this ruling by the High Court to steal $1.8bn of Venezuelan gold.
2. The appeal court couldn't reach a final decision and is sending the case back to the High Court to ascertain who the UK recognizes as Venezuela's leader (and to whom the gold belongs).

While today's ruling appears positive, pay attention to the following points 128 and 129:
3. The appeal court advises the High Court to seek counsel from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on this issue. This of course means only one thing: the FCO will advise the High Court not to recognize Maduro and recognize Guaido instead, who they've been helping to prop up.

Just wrapped up the panel. That was a crucially important and detailed discussion on the inner workings of the #Assange extradition hearing by journalists who covered the case.

Big thank you to @kgosztola and @jlpassarelli for hosting this. Image

Day 15 of the #Assange extradition hearing. Live updates in this thread:

(Apologies, I was prevented from following the court proceedings this morning).
Court returns from lunch.

Joel Sickler continues his testimony from this morning. Sickler is an expert on US prisons with 40 years of experience in corrections and sentencing. #AssangeTrial
Some key points from Sickler’s morning testimony:

-He firmly believes #Assange will be thrown in ad-seg (solitary) at ADC or the “X-unit
-Limited interaction and communication with other prisoners. None if placed under SAMs

Day 14 of the Julian #Assange extradition hearing begins at the Old Bailey.

Live updates in this thread:
First witness to testify is computer forensics expert Patrick Eller.

Prosecution sent him its bundle in the middle of the night (typical). Judge gives the defense an hour for Eller to go through the documents. #AssangeTrial
While we wait, watch a full video summary of Day 12 & 13 #AssangeTrial

Is that all you have to say?

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.

Garbage click-bait. This is shameful.
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?

Day 13 of the Julian #Assange extradition hearing begins.

Live updates in this thread:
The prosecution calls its second witness to date, Dr. Nigel Blackwood, reader in Forensic Psychiatry at KCL.
Blackwood maintains that JA suffers from MDD but not as severely as described by previous expert witnesses. Blackwood alleges suicide risk is manageable; patient has 'capacity to resist'.
