We began calling the Eastern District of Virginia over the Assange case a few weeks ago now. And what began as a few hundred calls a day, ballooned into thousands and thousands of them 24/7. #FreeAssange 1/
Today, the EDVA has begun to actively attempt to discourage people from calling over the case because public pressure has become a massive issue.
---
As such, we have begun recording these negative live interactions and compiling these calls. #FreeAssange 2/
If you would like to be a part of that effort, join the thousands of others actively fighting this fight in The Silent War Room ( T.me/SilentWarRoom ). #FreeAssange 3/
The EDVA is actively refusing to listen, actively attempting to subvert legal methods of public support 2 weeks before the appeal hearing. We intend to weaponize that against them. Our silence is their weapon. Add your voice to this fight. #FreeAssanget.me/SilentWarRoom
Today we are recording live calls to the EDVA +1( 703-299-3700 ) over Assange's case. They have become.... less than friendly to those efforts. #FreeAssange

I often hear from misinformed people, that Julian Assange & Wikileaks endangered the lives of our men and women in uniform with their release of war documents.
But here is the truth:
In July 2010, when WikiLeaks began revealing secret documents about the war in Afghanistan...1/
the Pentagon immediately accused Assange + Wikileaks of having blood on their hands, because their publication would put Afghan translators and informants at risk, those who collaborated with American and Western coalition troops... 2/
Pentagon + CIA created large task forces of intelligence analysts to sift through every single name that came out of those documents to try to find out if any of them had been killed, injured or imprisoned b/c of Wikileaks publication.... 3/
