Paul Craig Roberts has written a thorough piece on what has happened to the UK and the US in their total disregard for the law resulting in the desecration of the First Amendment. If we allow the continued imprisonment, let alone extradition to the US, we are complicit in the final destruction of our First Amendment. While he should be lauded for his making public the war atrocities committed by our government, releasing the utterly disgusting behavior of child sex trafficking by the Podestas, sanctioned by Hillary Clinton, and providing evidence of Hillary’s treason through her supposedly bleach-bitted (destroyed) emails, he has been falsely accused of every crime in the book, from rape to treason. There are NO CHARGES against him that hold any truth. Swedish officials dropped the case against him when it turned out he had consensual sex; he did not hack any government computers but simply published information supplied by someone who had access to that sensitive information.
At least read the article by PC Roberts and decide for yourself. If you don’t agree with me, fine, but at least try to have an open mind about what will happen if Assange continues to be imprisoned for simply publishing the truth. What does it mean for all of us.

One reply on “Julian Assange and the Destruction of the First Amendment”
Thank you for sharing that article, Justa (still lovin’ your username!).
If Assange is convicted, there goes any notion of real journalism in this country. If the government is allowed to punish those who simply reveal truth, you are right. Our First Amendment is a joke, and our Republic is damned.
