There's a cable show reporting on and denouncing the travesty of the US persecution of Julian Assange, and it happens to the be the same program that went on a sustained crusade in 2020 to argue that he should be pardoned because his prosecution was so unjust. https://t.co/PPWvlmK7aN

Tucker Carlson had a great segment on Julian Assange.
Assange, a journalist, is being extradited to the United States to be tortured for the rest of his life. The Brandon Administration is obsessed with destroying this man.
Meanwhile, Brandon’s Jewish Secretary of State is posting this stuff.
Media freedom plays an indispensable role in informing the public, holding governments accountable, and telling stories that otherwise would not be told. The U.S. will continue to stand up for the brave and necessary work of journalists around the world. #SummitForDemocracy pic.twitter.com/ilitbdzSd1

Worldwide, more than 350 journalists are currently imprisoned for their work–including American journalist Austin Tice, who is detained in Syria. We must be relentless in shining a spotlight on attacks on journalists, demand accountability, & work to return the unjustly detained.

His predecessor, the Beast Pompeo, who also led the war against Assange and is now a key figure working behind the scenes to shame Brandon Administration policy, has also run a crusade in the name of “journalism.”
"These journalists are members of a free press, not propaganda cadres"

This is no different than the CIA running an organization that is supposed to be finding kidnapped children and using it to traffic child sex slaves.
These people literally say the opposite of what they do.
The extradition and prosecution of Assange for doing journalism will literally make journalism illegal. Several of the people fighting for Assange have claimed that this will affect the lives of the people at CNN and NYT who are obsessed with destroying Assange. But of course it will not. All mainstream journalists are at this point nothing at all more than mouthpieces of the state.
Efforts to extradite & prosecute journalist Julian Assange exposes the hypocrisy of establishment’s mission to “spread democracy.” If Biden Admin truly believed in democracy (including freedom of the press), he would immediately drop the charges against Assange. #FreeAssange pic.twitter.com/WC6Y7bL53j

For those confused: the Assange case is going to set a precedent that if you report on anything that the US government does that is bad, or even anything that individual government officials do that is bad, you have to go to prison.
Calling what is happening to Assange “Stalinist” would be offensive to Stalin in the same way that calling Jews “rats” is offensive to rats.
What’s also worth noting here is that apparently publishing leaked documents is a worse crime than actually leaking them. Bradley Manning, who gave Assange the documents he’s being charged with publishing, is on the loose (although to be fair, he was only released after he was tortured long enough that he went insane and became a tranny).
But listen: Manning is literally doing speaking tours and being celebrated as a whistleblower for giving Assange the documents he’s being hunted by Brandon for publishing.
To be clear (because none of this is ever clear in the media): Assange is ONLY being prosecuted over the Manning documents, and not the Hillary Clinton emails. Officially. Those are the charges against him.
It is obvious to everyone that the people prosecuting him care a lot more about the Hillary emails than they do about like, purposefully killing Iraqi children or gassing villages or whatever. But the charges as they stand now are against him for the Manning documents.
Moreover: the reason he was hiding in the embassy in the first place was that he was charged with a rape hoax in Sweden – by a woman who claimed that after she had sex with him with a condom, the next morning he had sex with her without a condom, and that was rape.
This is all a circus.
