Tell 'em, Mr. Galloway!
Didnt they throw the guys that release the Panama Papers in jail, so much for the first amendment, and didnt they just call the UN Security Council decision for not binding, well that says it all, nothing the usa signs or says cant no longer be trusted what so ever, if he is send to the Usa, he f'd high court Judge or not, they are gonna bend everything until the get him send to 220 years or death.
And there's nothing anybody can do when they do it. Period, its all talk, once he there,its over for Julian.
Totally agree with Chris, the US are not gonna honnor anything what so ever. Julian are a example, "see this could happen to you, we got the power to do anything, that's the message they are gonna send to the would
GANGSTERS are now running the whole show! This case is wrong as hell from the start. 'Assurances' from the US?! The US is TOTALLY untrustworthy! And lapdog 'officials' and judges in the UK, are BOUGHT and PAID FOR by the FASCIST GANGSTERS who have taken over 'the west'.
Love this man!!
Promises from the US are a joke! Never ever trust the US government.
UK 🇬🇧 is a vassal state.
Western Democracy and Human rights🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The West has literally destroyed this man with their democracy and human rights
I reckon everyone is looking in the wrong direction. We all know Julian Assange is guilty of nothing. NOTHING.
The question is not Julian's guilt: it is the guilt of the American govt then and now and the British Govt, then and now.
THAT is where everyone should be looking. They are demonstrating their guilt day by day. They are criminally guilty day by day by day.
Looking at Assange and pleading/praying for his freedom is only to make them stronger: you fee their ego, their power madness.
You plead with them 'please, please, for pity's sake, please' and they grow bigger and fatter and more obscenely evil and criminal.
No pleading.
Just a statement: prove yourselves innocent or you will go down. with what judgement ye judge ye shall be judged. See?
It is for them to begin to behave as they should.
I fear this will never happen with them. Never.
And the more you plead the more they see you as weak supplicants and the less chance there is of it ever happening.
No. They need to be in the dock. The world needs to be judging them, right now, with teeth in the judgement.
Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning & Edward Snowden took the right action, no need for democracy.
The US military terrorists, detonated 1032 nuclear bombs, from 1945 to 1998.
This is about protecting the weapons and war with investors industries.
The collateral murder video evidence, released 14 years ago, clearly showing that the US military are tereorists, and do not speak for the living man, or living woman.
Know the difference between legaleser, someone who earns money, via the legalese system.
The living man, or living woman, are not dead legal fiction corporations.
The US military, have nuclear weapons, at Lakenheath, previously at Greenham Common, near Newbury, England.
Check out, the video on utube, nuclear weapons, per country 2023.
Excellent contributions from all 👏
Great opinions and analysis, thanks
The U.S. could not protect Jeffrey Epstein while in jail, never mind he was a scum of a human being. The guards and security cameras failed despite Epstein's high profile. No one is beyond the reach of the CIA, they are above the law. The corruption of the U.S. courts run deep, much like the AIPAC controlled congress overseeing the genocide in Gaza. Free Julian Assange NOW!
❤❤freedom for Julian Assange
Joe, thanks for your excellent facilitation.
Timeline
00:00 Pre-show with George Galloway on the Extradition Treaty ( from “Imperialism on Trial” London, 25th Feb 2020)
03:03 Welcome from Joe Lauria and Elizabeth Vos
03:13 Joe Lauria and Elizabeth Vos – Introduction to key issues
09:00 Marjorie Cohn – the latest ruling, the 3 issues still in play, & the worth of US assurances
19:28 Craig Murray – it's possible "the assurances could fail and he is still extradited"
25:00 Chris Hedges – possible further charges eg re Vault 7, if extradited. CIA driving this.
30:34 Bruce Afran – possible plea bargain strategies? Biden trying to get extradition refused (via death penalty issue)?
41:25 Craig Murray – UK regularly gives assurances against the death penalty. Big legal literature on diplomatic assurances.
45:02 Chris Hedges – Discussion re the death penalty question
47:10 Craig Murray – Joins in "I felt [Dobbin] had lost belief in her own case." The Yahoo News report & ruling (para 210). Astonishing.
49:45 Chris Hedges – How can Assange ever be safe from the CIA?
54:15 Bruce Afran – Back to the death penalty issue. US lawyers said it could be requested for new charges
56:12 Joe Lauria – Judges admitted Assange acted politically and exposed war crimes, but said he was not charged re those.
57:05 Craig Murray – Judges using faulty logic
58:24 Bruce Afran – Court makes false distinction between political opinion and political offense. Julian is a lightning rod
1:00:01 Elizabeth Vos – Assange wasn't the first to publish the names. Selective prosecution.
1:01:41 Craig Murray – Judges bring up the "chat log" – state as fact this was JA.
1:04:07 Craig Murray on James Lewis KC (for the US) in court
1:05:05 Craig Murray re extradition for "political offenses" prevented by the Treaty (2007) but not mentioned in the Act (2003)
