My latest: the UK sending depleted uranium to #Ukraine is more than an escalation in a potentially nuclear proxy war. It is an admission that Kiev does not expect to retain the land it is fighting on.

consortiumnews.com/2023/05/02/usi… The #Pentagonleak allegedly posted by Jack Teixera have already shown Ukrainian forces are faring far worse than previously reported.

By initially sensationalizing the Finders story, the media profited from immediate shock value while permitting this very sensationalism to become the premise for dismissing the issue, and Finders ties to the CIA to remain unexplored.

mintpressnews.com/the-finders-ci… The Finders trail would ultimately lead to allegations of a cult involved in ritual abuse, an international child-trafficking ring, evidence of child abuse confirmed and later denied, and ties with the CIA, which was alleged to have interfered in the case.

Unlike #Russianhacking or #TrumpRussiaCollusion, there is a legitimate and serious scandal when it comes to Trump's involvement in the #Assange prosecution. The fact that the media hasn't covered it is a travesty multiple times over. It's an utter abandonment of the free press by the same media that claimed Trump was attacking them.

My latest: Media Silence on #Assange Aids #Trump

Testimony given in the last week of the Assange hearing was particularly damning for the White House, as evidence was aired that connected the Administration directly to the efforts to prosecute Assange.

consortiumnews.com/2020/10/31/ele… During the hearing, journalist Cassandra Fairbanks testified that, “President Donald Trump had personally ordered Julian Assange’s arrest from the Ecuadorian embassy."

Said it once, and I'll say it again: #StreisandEffect trending on Twitter is the highlight of this election season.

archive.vn/qYQMI And if people start getting suspended for sharing the information relevant to this story I will be totally unsurprised.

In general, social media censorship has been ramped up for weeks, especially noticeable during the #Assange extradition hearing.

Two new documentaries on the Jeffery #Epstein affair delve into lurid details and give voice to his victims, but both scratch the surface of the political and intelligence dimensions of the scandal.

The special followed @netflix release of "#JeffreyEpsteinfilthyrich."

Plutocrats:

"Democracy is the enemy of democracy.

If you disagree with us, you are a Russian asset, a bot network or a GRU hacker." Is this a joke?

It’s the @DNC, Stupid: Democratic Party, Not #Russia, Has Delegitimized the Democratic Process

consortiumnews.com/2019/11/04/its… @DNC Clinton’s comments to the effect that @TulsiGabbard is being groomed by Russia & that @DrJillStein is a #RussianAsset were echoed by #DNC-friendly pundits, externalizing what Gabbard called the “rot” in the Democratic party onto domestic critics and a nation across the planet.

Now get someone on your show who can actually tell the accurate story on #Assange, @joerogan. @joerogan No rush, but *before* he dies in custody would be nice. @joerogan

The problem is less picking one candidate over the other, & more about backlash from recognizing that the @DNC primary process is so overtly rigged that it's not a matter of if there will be cheating, but how are the respective candidates going to react to it. @DNC Some people aren't ready to face that reality. The problem with Bernie specifically is that we already saw his non-response to being cheated once, & Tulsi stood up for him more than he stood up for himself. Recognizing that is where a lot of Bernie supporters get angry.

Matthew Hoh told #Unity4J shortly before #Assange's arrest:

“When they get their hands on him, they will do things that will be criminal, it will be immoral, it will be torture.” #FreeAssange

consortiumnews.com/2019/04/15/jul… Prior to #Assange's arrest, Chris Hedges also told #Unity4J

"Everyone has a breaking point, and they will attempt to psychologically destroy him, and we have seen with #Guantanamo that several of these detainees, are emotionally crippled for life. It will be scientific torture."

"... Many on social media are misleading others into thinking that there are legal proceedings afoot in Sweden today. This assertion is simply wrong. #Assange has never been charged in Sweden, the investigation into the alleged sexual misconduct was closed, twice." "There are only two live issues before the courts, leaving aside the sentencing for breach of bail. They are, the extradition request and the accompanying charges brought by the U.S...."

"The so-called “Protocol” forced on #Assange without his consent has no legal legitimacy whatsoever, and never applied to the @WikiLeaks Twitter account, which Assange has not been able to access for over a year."
