Frankly, Roger Waters should have defended me.

Julian Assange’s extradition case could deal a fatal blow to free press worldwide, Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters told RT as a British court weighed final arguments on whether to transfer the WikiLeaks co-founder to US custody.
Though the UK High Court did not hand down a ruling after Thursday’s appeal hearing and is now taking time to consider a decision, Waters said he’s “deeply, deeply concerned” about how the case will play out, blasting the appeals process as a “kangaroo court.”
“It has nothing to do with justice or the arguments provided,” Waters told RT in an interview. “It is absolute nonsense that this man has been locked up a single day – whether it’s in the Ecuadorian Embassy or in Belmarsh.”
“The future of all of us, and all of our children and grandchildren hangs upon this court case. If they destroy the fourth estate – which is what they’re trying to do by destroying Assange – they destroy the world.”
The WikiLeaks co-founder has been held in London’s maximum-security Belmarsh prison since 2019, arrested by UK authorities after spending some seven years in the city’s Ecuadorian Embassy under political asylum. Accused of violating the century-old Espionage Act by publishing classified material, Assange faces up to 175 years in prison if extradited to the United States and found guilty.
While District Judge Vanessa Baraitser initially declined Washington’s extradition request, citing concerns about Assange’s mental health and the risk he might commit suicide in an American prison, the US has since appealed, making its final arguments during Thursday’s hearing.
Waters blasted that original judgement as “mealy-mouthed,” arguing that Baraitser should have tossed the case and left no chance for an appeal.
“If she’d listened to the evidence and if she was a proper judge and if she made a proper judgement, she would have said there is no case to answer – case dismissed, set the prisoner free. She didn’t.”
US authorities have offered “assurances” that Assange would not be mistreated in American custody, but Waters insisted “they’re lying through their teeth,” citing indefinite detentions and torture at the US-run Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba. Rights groups such as Amnesty International have also rejected the US assurances as paper-thin, also pointing to a less-than-stellar US human rights record.
Sadly, everything is already destroyed.
There is no coming out of the abyss that the Western world has fallen into.
Julian getting out of prison would certainly be a heartening thing, but there is no free press – and there isn’t going to be as long as we live under a Zionist Occupation Government (ZOG).
