Host your own conversation with the video link below of @raymcgovern & @NilsMelzer including a call - in by @deepa_driver correcting the decade of smears against Julian. Powerful! Thank you, Ray, Nils & Deepa!
Clips from the January 17, 2021 Unitarian Society Milwaukee event with @NilsMelzer and @raymcgovern 👏youtube.com/playlist?list=…
"If Assange leaves the UK, ... if he goes to France, the US can immediately ask for extradition in France, move him from country to country, right? ... playbook Stratfor came up with ten years ago ... @NilsMelzer
“Anyone, ANYONE, anywhere in the world publishing any information that the government doesn’t want to be published can be prosecuted, and I call it persecuted, because it is for political reasons -and silenced through criminal law - as a spy" @NilsMelzer
“Augusto Pinochet ... he was in extradition detention in the UK in a luxurious villa and Mrs. Thatcher brought him whiskey. But you know, Julian Assange is legally in exactly the same situation, except he is not being held in a villa.” @NilsMelzer
"This judgement confirms one more thing. It confirms that Julian was right all along that he couldn’t leave the embassy freely, as these governments falsely claimed. Because had he left freely, he would have faced not justice, but injustice." @NilsMelzer
“That’s a standard arrow in the quiver of covert action, the way you smear someone, the way you discredit them, ... is by using sexual accusations, and in reality no accusations were made by the Swedish Government." @raymcgovern
“I worked with William Casey who was the head of the CIA" (@raymcgovern describes Casey said the CIA would know they had succeeded when everything the American people believe is actually false. A friend was there & statement was given to a WaPo reporter.)

"[Sweden] said they did not have enough evidence to charge him. Now what does that mean if the police questioned you and they investigate FOR NINE YEARS and they don’t have enough evidence to charge you, it means by law you are innocent." @NilsMelzer
"... given uncontrolled power, with time power corrupts. … we know we can’t live with secrecy and we certainly cannot allow the truth to be criminalized.” @NilsMelzer

From January 17, 2021 Unitarian panel on Assange with @NilsMelzer and @raymcgovern - mashup of clips. See thread above for each individual clip and link to event.

@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 ...

@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.”
