'Truth Is Treason' - The Torture Of Julian Assange

Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange appeared before a UK judge to request more time to prepare his case against the US extradition request. Acting more like a Soviet tribunal, the judge went on to deny his every request. He is not allowed to prepare to fight his extradition. Even though Assange has served his time for "jumping bail," the British court ruled that he must remain in prison. His shocking mental and physical condition after being held for months in UK's notorious Belmarsh prison only confirms the UN torture official's assessment that he is being tortured by the US and UK governments. Why? For publishing the truth. The lesson to others is clear: challenge the global US military empire and you will be destroyed.

The way Assange is being treated is disgusting. It's a witch-hunt, not a trial. The man shouldn't have been charged to begin with.

If Assange was in China, he would be in a Concentration camp and on an organ donor list.

In the UK/US, he is in solitary confinement, being tortured and drugged.

Such tough alternatives.

The difference is that we in the west are groomed to think we're superior to the Chinese as far as the justice system goes. As Ron Paul said, it's the deep state - all of it, not just what's happening in the UK right now. The swamp is full of gators, and they have so many convinced that it's people like Julian Assange, whom I doubt actually broke the law by publishing leaked information, and Edward Snowden, who really should be pardoned or his jury should read up on jury nullification. Hint: it's the reason why the Founders made sure we had the right to a jury trial, but after people were using it to acquit runaway slaves and the like, judges stopped telling people that they could vote against the law in any case they see fit to do so.

We are the illusion of freedom. In many ways, the United States is far more libertarian than many countries (Liechtenstein is probably the most libertarian, but good luck getting there), but we're also a far cry from where we were designed to be.

We will catch up with China at some point...
