“It’s a complete stitch up,” Matt Kennard, author and co-founder of Declassified UK, tells Useful Idiots about Julian Assange’s extradition case. “None of the rules of the game apply.”
Assange, who has been jailed and tortured for nearly a decade for releasing documents which shed light on the crimes of the US government, now faces an extradition trial teeming with corruption.
But after a crucial witness admitted to lying, the US government was caught plotting an assassination, and UK judges were revealed to have major conflicts of interest, the case is somehow still continuing on. “It doesn’t seem like anything can come out that will stop it.” Kennard says.
“That for me is the scariest thing. If certain powerful forces within the deep structure of our country want to get you, they can, and none of the principles we’re taught at school apply. They will get you and you will be ruined and the message will be sent that you can’t play at this level again.”

Nothing like a presidential candidate who bragged about planning and carrying out coups! God bless America.
They realize the tide is changing and people aren't getting their news from them anymore.
Shouldn't Congressional politicians KNOW what's really going on overseas before they make decisions? This Jerry Connolly thinks Ukrainians, who are all mostly dead by now, are actually winning? So a completely uninformed and brainwashed bribe taker is able to help decide where our tax dollars go? YIKES!
Ukraine has free healthcare…
I talked on the phone last night to an old friend who "had NEVER HEARD of Julian Assange"! I was gobsmacked!
I tweeted Nigel Farage begging for his help for Assange during the second to last hearing. Crickets.
Fact:
Every Democracy since the beginning of time has failed miserably. That’s why the founding fathers created a Republic!
Looks identical, totally opposite.
Adelson gave Trump $20 mil to move Israel’s Embassy to Jerusalem and claim it as it’s Capital. Then Trump bragged about how much he did for the Jews.
Catching up on the failures of Monday Mournings
The only hope Assange would have in court would be in a “Common law Court of Record.” Unfortunately all Courts in America are ART. IV COURTS OF CHANCERY, operating under British Laws of Admiralty… Kangaroo Courts
Thx for giving julian some room, people need,protest till his release. He's not the criminal here
if a tree lives and dies an falls in a forest… the tree knows it, all the other trees and bugs and worms and birds and animals hear it too. or sense it.

HIHIIIGHIIGHi
Peace sells but no one is buying
Bolton is worried that Biden is going to blow up civilization without him.
Me thinks Rep. Bass is a hegemonic warmonger.
Throw in the $2 trillion unaccounted for in the Defence Budget in the recent audit. It has probably purchased a bunch of condos in Florida for the corrupt Ukraine govt and military.
The only thing that is transparent is the thinness of his intellect. What comic is he reading (looking at the pictures) that makes him think Ukraine is winning the war?
Katie doesn't like cats….it all becomes clear now. : /
It is a bit rich for Aaron and Max Blumenthal to focus on the pedophelia charge of the witness when they regularly interview Scott Ritter. I agree that the guy was a terrible witness but you should attack that witness on the fact that he repeatedly lied not because he is a convicted pedophile. But I know you guys criticize other while doing the same thing yourselves so I'm not surprised, just disappointed.
Connelly is a real piece of work…..
Max totally blew his chance to advance the cause of truth. He allowed the guy to spend all his question answering time debunking the idea that "he's a pedophile" is relevant to whether the witness was honest about Assange. He did not answer the relevant part of the question: the part about the witness admitting he lied during testimony. Max got nothing out of it because he let the guy off the hook.
At least if Bolton runs we might get a few laughs.
Here in England the lamestream media ignore the case. 🇬🇧
I live in England & i have never heard of Goblin Mode.
Welcome to Joe's world. Media is key to power
Delcassified UK is the best outlet for UK foreign policy.
The time for Assange's freedom cannot be procrastinated anymore.
Worm is one mode lower than Goblin
thank you
My belief is that if no one observes the tree in the forest in any way that there actually is no tree in the forest. This is the simulation theory
As far preparing kids, I know a teacher who in 9th grade had students read journalist article's and then tell them"this is someone's opinion". It stuck with his students I know. Simple yet effective.
