Julian Assange testified to the Council of Europe which has investigated his unjust imprisonment's effect on human rights, journalists and whistleblowers.
It's good to see Julian Assange giving the unjust Hell again. I am still extatic over his reunited family. It's so wonderful to know Julian and Stella are in each other's arms.
A very welcome report, and a wonderful opportunity to hear Julian Assange speak publicly about his case. Many thanks (again) Mike. If not for this article I doubt I'd have heard about this PACE investigation!
A week?? Nah… Just a couple more days and it'll be “official”. Thanks for so much excellent reporting today, but do get some rest or you’ll be no good to us tomorrow! 🫠
Just watched it Mike. And though this probably does mark the “official” beginning of WWIII it cheered me up so much I’m probably some sort of sick war criminal now. But I don’t care! Fuck “israel”! - No one's Free until Palestine is free! 🇵🇸💚🇵🇸✊
Oooo! Cutting. But Point taken. As a born (albeit sometimes wavering these days) optimist though, would you object if I were to insert the word “yet” in there somewhere? 😉
While the US government was the most despicable element in the persecution of Julian Assange, sniffing right up the government’s butt-cheeks was the corporate media. Though many — like The Guardian and New York Times and Washington Post had collaborated with and profited off work with Assange — after the government went after him they abandoned him. Unlike alternative media, which doggedly covered the case, the big money corporate media let the story of his imprisonment and the implications for all of us fade. Assange is an amazing journalist, and good and brave man.
It's unsurprising their sins continue e.g. in a normal world there would have been a week of coverage in build-up to his speech. Julian knows how it feels to be an American dock worker about to go on strike.
thanks Mike - bit slow on getting to watching this, but life's been busy. Heartbreaking to compare Julian now to footage of him pre-embassy and solitary confinement.
And he is totally correct on what he is discussing, and I hope PACE eventually do the right thing. But it is absolutely vital to note that Europe itself is now forcefully prosecuting the act of publishing true information, or ignoring their own constitutions when it comes to the publication of opposing viewpoints to official narrative. Two major examples are the Digital Services act, and the case of @CJ Hopkins in Berlin. And the digital services act has already been deployed to remove content on platforms officially based outside of europe, written by people who are not european.
This whole thing is not bound by political borders now, it is simply the quashing of dissent by the only power structure in the world, the one that only recognises profit/power. The one that is dominant in all countries from China to the US. That system now brooks no dissent that reaches any form of visibility or volume and is busy shoring up all legal arguments to legitimise its actions. And of course, this process is moving quickest, further along and most successfully where the majority of the profit lives.
There’s no sword cutting for us, they are all double-edged. Highlighting small word messages isn’t the same as creating flesh on the ground. It’s a firefly in a dark world, but I clung to it anyways.

I hope Julian's children understand what a hero their Dad is!
Poor kids. They're gonna hear that so many times it'll be like two grannies pinching their cheeks day and night.

Been following news for 21 hours straight. It’ll be my luck that WW3 starts when I turn my computer off for a week.

Sending love. 💚🙏
Hubby just now showed me footage of the missiles getting through and striking the genocidal squatter-state. I only hope they can see it from Gaza!
I included a video in my post.
70km from Tel Aviv to Gaza City.
If Iran hit military targets, like taking out jets, then it will have the moral upperhand.

No one's free. Full stop.

Speaking of the Dock Strike: Let It Rip.
Solidarity!
Only through interruptions to American consumerism will the world be saved from America.
