The Gestapo Is Coming for
Julian Assange
The Gestapo Is Coming for Julian Assange
It looks like the utterly
corrupt US and UK governments have paid off the puppet president of Ecuador to
dishonor his country by revoking Assange’s political asylum so that Washington
can get revenge for Wikileaks disclosing Washington’s massive war crimes. Now
Washington and London will make every American and every Britisher ashamed of
their citizenship while they simultaneously demonstrate that neither the US nor
UK government deserves a nanoparticle of respect. They are
dishonorable governments.
Caitlin tells us what is at
stake.
The WikiLeaks Twitter account
has announced that it has high level information that the organization’s
founder Julian Assange could have his political asylum the Ecuadorian embassy
revoked for him to be arrested by the British government within hours. We need
to be ready to shake the earth should this happen. We need all hands on deck
for this one.
“BREAKING: A high level source
within the Ecuadorian state has told @WikiLeaks that Julian Assange will
be expelled within ‘hours to days’ using the #INApapers offshore scandal as a
pretext–and that it already has an agreement with the UK for his arrest,” the
leak publishing outlet tweeted,
with a
link to a story about the INA Papers leak.
The pretext that is being used
is almost irrelevant. Assange has been a target of the US-centralized power
establishment ever since WikiLeaks began publishing authentic documents
exposing the malfeasance of its leaders a decade ago, and strings are being
pulled around the world to funnel him into its jaws. That’s all that this is,
but it should surprise no one that the pretext is bogus as well. Journalist
Elizabeth Vos wrote
an article for Consortium News the other day summarizing
the false narrative being spun by the Ecuadorian government that the conditions
of asylum have been violated by the WikiLeaks account (not Assange) tweeting
about a scandal that has rocked Ecuador’s president Lenin Moreno.

To be clear, it
is a known fact that the US government is working to arrest and
imprison Assange, not for the Russia stuff that has had establishment loyalists
so excited over the last couple of years, but for the 2010 leaks exposing US
war crimes. The US has
an extradition treaty with the UK, and the British government
has refused
to comment on whether or not it has received an extradition request
for the Assange arrest that we absolutely know for a fact is an existing US
government agenda. This would be the same US government which tortured
Chelsea Manning after refusing
her a fair trial.
If Assange is arrested and
prosecuted under the Patriot Act, it will be a devastating
blow to press freedoms and constitute a greater leap in the direction
of Orwellian dystopia than the Patriot Act did. The US government exercising
the ability to imprison journalists for simply publishing facts about it, not
just in America but anywhere in the world, will be a poisoned dagger in the
heart of the world population’s ability to bring any transparency or
accountability to that titanic power structure.
“WikiLeaks reports that Julian
Assange is on the verge of being expelled from the Ecuadorean Embassy in
London,” tweeted the
legendary journalist John Pilger in response to today’s news. “Please fill the
street outside the embassy and protect him, and show solidarity with a
courageous man, whose struggle ought to touch us all.”
Yes please.

We are about to find out if
this is the part of the movie where the empire rips off the mask of freedom and
democracy and reveals its true tyranny. Assange is a soft target, a
controversial figure who has been on the receiving end of wildly
successful smear campaigns marketed to every major political faction
across the western world. He is the logical place to begin a crackdown on
press freedoms and make a public example of what happens to those who shine the
light of truth upon Big Brother.
If we allow them to imprison
Julian Assange for practicing journalism, that’s it. It’s over. We might
as well all stop caring what happens to the world and sit on our hands while
the oligarchs drive us to ecological disaster, nuclear annihilation
or Orwellian dystopia. If we, the many, don’t have the spine to stand
up against the few and say “No, we get to find out facts about you bastards and
use it to inform our worldview, you don’t get to criminalize that,” then we
certainly don’t have the spine it will take to wrest control of this world away
from the hands of sociopathic plutocrats and take our fate into our own hands.
The arrest of Julian Assange
would be the fork in the road. It would be where we collectively decide as a
species whether we want to survive into the future, and if we deserve to.
Heads Up: the friends and
supporters of 2019 Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Julian Assange will NOT let him be
taken into the arms of torturers quietly.
We are organising en masse
as I write this.
Eyes on the hashtag #ProtectJulian and
amplify!!

So be ready to shake the earth
if they decide that this is a good time to sink their talons into him. If
they touch one silver hair on that man’s head, we must unleash relentless
worldwide outrage the likes of which they have never before seen. Because
we’re not just fighting for Assange, we’re fighting for our very survival.
Jeremy Corbyn has spoken out in
defense of WikiLeaks and Assange in the past. His moral character
combined with his continual rise toward the leadership of the British
government may partly explain the rush to arrest Assange as quickly as
possible. In what was in my opinion one of the most exciting occurrences
in wester politics recently, Corbyn read
an excerpt from Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “The Masque of
Anarchy” before an audience of thousands at the 2017 Glastonbury festival.
Corbyn roared:
“Rise, like lions after
slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many — they are few!”
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many — they are few!”
If Assange is arrested, that
will be our cue to rise like lions from our slumber, which has gone on far too
long at far too great a cost. We cannot permit them to use, exploit and oppress
us like this anymore. We are the many. They are the few. Be ready to rise.
