Cases like these reveal the rot at the heart of western governments. In what sense is what Craig Murray has just relayed to us justice? It seems perfunctory, a stage play, to disguise the reality that the judgement has already been handed down.
I remember when it was denied, forcefully and repeatedly, for nearly a decade that the US was behind the Swedish extradition conspiracy. That there was no ongoing US attempt to get their hands on Julian. That he was in the embassy for no good reason. Now we see that there was very good reason for him to remain in that embassy. There is no justice when you cross a corrupt empire.

- ChuckNorris89 6y agoSo, the Five Eyes countries basically. ... And the EU countries. ... And the non-EU countries. ... Basically the whole world, if you piss off the rich and powerful you'll suffer.
- nuker 6y agoNope. All of EU were decent on this, except Sweden, which was on and off and on.
- ChuckNorris89 6y agoAustria grounded the plane of the Bolivian president because the US thought Snowden was on board and it's not even a member of NATO. The US can persuade or twist the arm of any EU nation to get want it wants. When dealing with the US, none of them will take the high road.
- nuker 6y agoYou're right. I dont recall any EU country offering asylum. > When dealing with the US, none of them will take the high road I think main pressure point is financial system. EU banks just cannot function without US say so.
- xtracto 6y agoIt is basically the Pax Americana ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_Americana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_Americana ) which is part of the current imperialist society that is slowly but steadily crumbling.
- overlordalex 6y agoAnother fact to consider is that embassy allowed Assange to be taken only after being assured by the UK government that there were no plans to extradite him to the US. Of course that was a bald-faced lie, so why even make it?
- doe88 6y agoExactly. Yesterday I was listening to this article [1] and not to excuse or legitimate these awful groups, but these are the kinds of overreach I think may directly feed into the radicalization of the young or more disillusioned people towards these movements.

- raxxorrax 6y agoIt is certainly demotivating to have someone with Q-anything standing next to you screaming some esoteric theories, but the real factor is a docile attention-addicted press that is useful for starting wars in Iraq, but not for holding officials accountable. In that regard it might actually be smarter to vote for someone the press does at least try to hold to account. Many outlets are just completely broken. The NYT has some really good content, but also a lot of partisan shit. Most of their reporting on Iraq and Assange is not worth to print on paper. Honestly, it is just different bullshit they believe. Edit: this is an unfounded allegation: the education of the author might suggest a career path in national security. To be fair, she could also be a Russian.
- hanselot 6y agoThis is the most sound argument for electing Trump again I have ever seen. There is not a single person on this planet the press harrasses more than him.
