Julian in the Dock

Via Richard


Julian Assange’s extradition hearing has had very little media coverage. Even The Guardian and The New York Times barely mentioned it, though these newspapers made a fortune publishing Assange-provided cables. Unless you had been looking for it, you wouldn’t even know that on February 24 to 27, the first stage of Assange’s extradition hearing was being adjudicated in the secretive Woolwich Crown Court embedded within the huge Belmarsh Prison nicknamed “British Gitmo”. Luckily for us, Ambassador Craig Murray, the indomitable truth fighter, went there, waited in line for hours in the rain, underwent searches and discomfort, and wrote an extensive report (12,000 words) on this travesty of justice that went under the name of a ‘trial’. His reports leave nothing out, from the threatening atmosphere to the sinister legal arguments. He captured the menace and the abuse bordering with public torture, and delivered it to the world, something that none of the journalists on the payroll of the mass media had been allowed to do. Here are some insights from his report in my free rendering augmented with other sources.

  1. I had read a couple of weeks ago Assange was being placed in a
    glass cage with no access to the outside i.e. his attorney.
    They are making a spectacle of him. The one who should be in
    the glass cage should be that sadistic piss-ant judge.
    Hell, even Guzman the head honcho of the drug cartel sat up front
    with his attorney by his side. Assange doesn't have violent
    bone in his body. And this is justice - rot in Hell.

  2. At least Manning was released from prison, finally but there is
    a condition: you owe your soul to the company store.

    Yet, the fed is bailing out the banks again for a tune of 270
    billion dollars and the small businesses and the regular Joe will continue to struggle.

    2. The 270 Billion is for Wall Street. My mistake.
      This is for the banks. Parasites. I just as soon they
      all went under except for small private banks and credit
      unions.
