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!
"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
“... 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 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.”
