For years the appeals process was dominated by the factor of Julian’s mental health and whether or not he would survive US prison condition. Then after the Supreme Court rejected his appeal of the High Court ruling allowing flimsy US assurances, his application for a cross appeal of the ruling by the first instance court was finally allowed to be submitted - a document I highly recommend reading (Craig Murray published it this year). The judge then sat on it for the most part of a year before lazily rejecting it half a year ago in a 3 page document. His legal team immediately filed to have this decision appealed and have been waiting for a court date to be set for the past half year. It was said to be just a 30 minute sitting. This 2-judge panel court-date is the last avenue of appeal in the UK justice system to stop extradition to the US. Imagine being up in the air for year after year, always inching closer towards your biggest fear. This travesty must be stopped.

Will the High Court finally let freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, due process, and other essential human and legal rights take centre stage in this UK-US extradition case? That is the question to be decided at this February hearing.

While I’m glad this post did so well, I do apologies to anyone I may have offended by posting a barely 1yr old article in a news community. Please let me explain. My understanding is that news is information about current events. The letter written by the editors and publishers of: The New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, El País, which were WikiLeaks’ media partners, attempts to protect investigative journalism as an institution, which is still threatened by the persecution of Julian Assange is a current event: in fact, now is a critical moment, with his last-gasp UK appeal in the extradition-fight set for 2 months from now. When an event happens in slow-motion, such as this slow-motion torture-to-death, we have to widen our field of vision to get a clear picture of what’s going on. If you want more recent criticism of the case by prominent journalists, the US just had another Belmarsh Tribunal. I posted about it here: https://aussie.zone/post/5092162

Funny. The post didn’t show up until now.

walk about the cabin.

I don’t follow. What cabin?

Thank you.

“Secure homeland”

That’s a lie. Of course they didn’t. Nobody says they did.

Those newspapers did not sign a legally binding SF312 CLASSIFIED INFORMATION NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT of which every single person who holds a clearance must sign.

Neither did WikiLeaks doi

(Swedish =/= Swiss.)

Publishing classified information is treason

Tell that to the Guardian and the New York Times, who publish classified information routinely.

Oh, wait, seems like they got the message when they read the Assange indictment and wrote a whole editorial about how it threatens the 1st Amendment of (I’ll assume you’re from the US) your constitution.

Until the US drops the charges it’s relevant to Julian’s imminent extradition from the UK. Was it posted here when it was published? It might be news to some. Where do you suggest I post it instead?

Pretty sure the main ethos of the Nazis was wars of conquest with the aim of German imperialism and white supremacy. 3rd Reich and the myth/pseudo-science of the Arian race and all that. Their anti-jewish propaganda and genocide was a means to that end, as was their anti-Roma anti-communist, anti-gay persecutions and propaganda.
