A THREAD:

Quick view of some of the speeches outside the court (from livestreams). Clips will no doubt follow.

#FreeJulianAssangeNow #PardonAssangeNOW Speech from @JohnWRees:

"I would say 95% of this judge's judgment was to uphold the prosecution's case for extradition.

She refused extradition at the last moment ... because [putting him] under SAMs in the US would be an oppressive act."

Short THREAD:
This article addresses the recent (19 Aug 2020) #Facebook policy change:

"An Update to How We Address Movements and Organizations Tied to Violence"
about.fb.com/news/2020/08/a… On the face of things, most people would agree that it is better not to allow the glorification &/or encouragement of violence.

But where does the real celebration - nay glorification - of violence come from?

Please help @CraigMurrayOrg:

"I am EXTREMELY keen for you to follow tomorrow’s procedural hearing where the question of what evidence is permitted will be addressed."

Wed 26 Sep 2020 9:45am BST
Dial (+44)-207 660 8149
Access code 137 161 9904
Rules: scotcourts.gov.uk/coming-to-cour… See comments on Craig's blog for updates re procedural hearing today, but main point seems to be:

"The Judges rejected the Crown application & basically said all the Defence evidence needs to be considered at the full hearing where they will decide if it is relevant or not."

A THREAD

There's been a meme around for a long time that goes like this:

"First they came for the journalists. We don't know what happened after that." Of course, it was obvious to all those who looked with open eyes that #JulianAssange was the canary in the #FreePress coal mine.

Or was, perhaps, Alexander Pope's butterfly - broken on a (Catherine) wheel. [From Pope's "Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot"]

THREAD

The NY book launch of "In Defense of Julian Assange" edited by Tariq Ali and Margaret Kustler, and published by @orbooks, was held at the former home of the late Michael Ratner, Assange's former attorney 21 Nov 2019.

Read a review here:
portside.org/2019-11-20/tri… @orbooks First speaker was civil rights attorney, Margaret Kunstler @granmarga.

"The Powers That Be are upping the ante.
Charging a journalist with espionage is eating the 1st Amendment. It’s outrageous. The 1st doesn’t allow for an espionage charge."

In EU Parliament (14 Nov 2019), @NilsMelzer, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, describes questions he asked of UK, US, EC, & Sweden, & their replies.

For 50 detailed questions of Sweden about their legal process, there was zero explanation.

web-guengl.streamovations.be/index.php/even… (at 45:30) @NilsMelzer "We are talking about someone who has exposed information & evidence for serious government misconduct. THAT is what needs to be investigated.

If he [Assange] has committed any offences, let's investigate them, but [cats & skateboards just] deflect attention ..."

Why is the YouTube version of @wikileaks' Collateral Murder video assigned to the "inappropriate for some users" category - so it can't be played directly on YT or Twitter (& has no 'share' button)?

What does this say about YouTube's "community standards"? The Youtube version is here:

A smaller version CAN be played direct from the @wikileaks site: collateralmurder.wikileaks.org

At Wikileaks, there are also both short and full versions, & a companion video giving US Soldier @EthanMcCord's Eyewitness Story.

THREAD - Did Julian Assange REALLY say that?

This thread examines the evidence for the often repeated statement that Julian Assange is purported to have made related to informants who might be named or identified by publication of the Afghan War Logs (25 July 2010). The original publication of this statement appears to be in the book "Wikileaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy" by David Leigh & Luke Harding (Guardian Books/Hachette, 8 Feb 2011).

The archival footage in this clip ⬆️(filmed in SYD 8 Aug 2019 at "Julian Assange: the Alliance Against the US Culture of Revenge") is from "Inside Wikileaks" (2010) - where Mark Davis was on the scene as the reporter.

The great Australian journalist @johnpilger:

"Julian is a touchstone for opposition to so much of what is going on in our world - the rise of fascism, the threat of nuclear war.

He needs popular support - people in the streets."

#JulianAssange Today's QUOTE:

2010 May 18: Oslo Freedom Forum: "We are now approaching the state of Orwell's dictum, that 'he who controls the present, controls the past.'
He who controls internet servers controls the intellectual record of mankind ..."

Today's #JulianAssange QUOTE:

When asked what exactly he does in life, his answer is long, but precise:

"I am an activist, journalist, software programmer expert in cryptography, specialized in systems designed to protect human rights defenders."
