"A technique has been developed in the west of punishment as process." | Julian Assange
From 2015. Give it a watch, throw a like on it, share it around, this is from his wife's channel. Assange has been effectively imprisoned without charges since 2012.
Don't let Assange be killed by being forgotten-to-death. When all else fails, that's their final death-blow. The cases Assange covers in this video are all an open wound: Manning, Snowden, Binney, Greenwald, Poitras, and of course, Assange himself. And we can add to this list the J6 prisoners. The West has transitioned from its former pretense of moral superiority, to openly maintaining out-and-out political prisoners. It has become everything it loudly protested against in the former communist-bloc. If we just "let it slide", if we just "drop it", the whole matter has been conceded and we're next. There is zero possibility of compromise here. Either we put a stop to them, or they will destroy us. There is no middle ground, do not be lulled into believing these people can be reasoned, negotiated or bargained with in any way, shape or form. Look at what just happened with Mike Johnson -- what they call "compromise" is just back-stabbing betrayal. How many more times are we gonna Charlie Brown the Lucy-football? There aren't that many more kicks left in us.
To extend what Assange says here, the West -- that is, the US government, in particular -- has advanced the art of the process-crime far beyond the skill of its ancestors. In former times, Chateau d'If was where innocent political prisoners were sent because those were "the ones they're ashamed of" (The Count of Monte Cristo). Today, however, there is no attempt to hide the fact that the subject is innocent. In fact, that's part of the deal... openly attacking and crucifying an innocent man is a powerful way to send a warning to any others who might be stupid or arrogant enough to thumb their nose at the ruling "elites". But the American tyrants have sharpened the process to a much finer point than the tyrants of Europe or England ever managed to do. The point is not so much whether they are innocent or guilty, but whether they can be made guilty.
"Show me the man, I'll show you the crime" is no longer a statement about the effectiveness of interrogation and torture, it's a statement about the effectiveness of honeypots and sting operations. The FBI, it seems, will gladly plunge their targets into an Inception-like dream-world where up is down, and down is up, in order to "get their man". The actual guilt or actual innocence before the law is utterly beside the point. The point is whether they can save face and kick the living crap out of somebody who dared step out of line... by any means necessary. You might think that "any means necessary" is reserved only for the nation's enemies, but no, "any means necessary" is now standard-operating procedure for any yahoo with a federal badge. And the resources apparently at their disposal in this endeavor would make King Louis XIV to have looked like a blind pauper begging in the dung-covered streets of a Parisian intersection, by comparison. These programs wipe their ass with gold-foil toilet-paper. No expense spared... no such thing even as an "expense". ANY means necessary.
Until people start waking up and realizing that this is operational, and these are the rules they're playing by, they'll continue to stack wins on wins. We don't need to stage a revolution. No, they are the revolutionaries, the mutinous pirates, traitors and rebels. We just need to start waking our fellow patriots up out of their Cabelas-and-white-picket-fence stupor. Time to put away the pollyannaish, wishful-thinking of the past. Time to start examining the real state of our country under the hot white lights of an operating room. The tyrants have picked a game that they lose unless we let them win. They're literally betting that we will let them win. WAKE UP AND DON'T LET THEM WIN!!!
