Why Julian Assange Should Be Pardoned

Ryan Grim Breaks Down Why Julian Assange Should Not Be Prosecuted

By Dark Politricks

Julian Assange just spent his 50th birthday in Belmarsh prison. The prison in the UK that high security prisoners are stored and abused, nicknamed "The Meat Grinder". He should not be there, and although I disagree with a lot of what Ryan Grim has to say, this piece he did on The Hill really breaks down what he is accused of, and why he should not be prosecuted.

The USA under Joe Biden is carrying on the savage torture of this journalist, by carrying on to appeal the Judges ruling that he should not be extradited to the US due to their inhuman conditions for prisoners. The Judge even mentioning the case of sex offender Jeffery Epstein, and the likelihood Assange would die in a US Super Max prison. The US has come back to say that if convicted in their show trial, he would not go to a Super Max prison to spend the next 300 years or whatever stupid sentence they are going to try for.

However once extradited there is nothing stopping them from breaking any promises they had made to the UK court and putting him in solitary, in a tiny box cell, with little human contact. The no of times the US has lied in extradition cases is huge, they will and do say anything to get their prisoner back to their country, where they can then do what they like with him.

It seems that despite the FBI's main witness coming out and telling the truth about the lies he told to get off charges himself related to child molesting and fraud by lying about Assange in an Icelandic Newspaper, that I printed in my last article, the US is still carrying on their charade of a prosecution. They are labelling him a hacker when the only evidence comes from Mr Thordason, who has admitted he lied to the FBI about nearly all the involvement he had with Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.

Therefore if you remove his testimony, Julian has not been proven to have hacked anything. All the evidence comes from the lying words of a 28 FBI informant from Iceland trying to get out of being taken to court for his own crimes. Take away this evidence and the FBI and DOJ basically have no evidence to convict Assange.

Read more about Mr Thordarson and Julian Assange and his interview, in which he admitted he was lying to the FBI. This is something that should have helped get the US DOJ's case against Assange, thrown out of court, but somehow it persists. 

This all goes to prove that the handling of Assange is more about punishing him for revealing US secrets, which journalists have been doing for time immemorial, and making him suffer rather than the actual law. Julian Assange has being denied bail, and the US carrying on trying to lie about him being a hacker rather than a journalist who did what the Guardian and New York Times also did, print materials he was given, not material he hacked and stole illegally.

The indictment states that together Mr Thordarson and Julian Assange tried to crack a password together to get into an Icelandic bank. This bank was assumed to contain information about defaulted loans provided by the Icelandic Landsbank during the 2008 banking crisis. In fact Mr Thordason already had access to this information with his own login, whether they shared that login is immaterial and outside the FBI's jurisdiction as it was in Iceland.

Julian Assange like any good journalist wanted information, and when asked what information he should get, Assange actually said "I can't give targets around for legal reasons, but Google around and find bad people". This is evidence that he was trying to keep inside the bounds of the law not break them.

All Assange is, was a publisher of information that was given to him by whistle-blowers. The same information that was printed by multiple papers around the globe. The DOJ have the problem of how to prosecute Assange without stopping free speech and the printing of information by the New York Times obtained illegally but publicly important to reveal if it is about government crimes. This is why they are trying to accuse him of being a hacker. Once you listen to the video you will hear how thin this prosecution against Assange really is.

Many people believe that this grudge against Assange relates to the emails leaked during the 2016 US election from Hillary Clinton. It doesn't, it relates to the war crimes committed by the US army in Iraq, and torture information from GITMO gathered by Chelsea Manning who has already been to jail for her crimes. 

This information was very embarrassing for the US as it revealed their cruel methods of killing Iraqi's, including Reuters reporters filmed from US helicopters as they joked about killing a number of men and even children that arrived in an "ambulance" to help them.

So listen to this short news piece as Ryan Grim breaks down the DOJ's indictment against Julian Assange. 

To read more about Mr Thordarson, and his lies, including claiming that he was a top figure at WikiLeaks and all the incriminating things he said about Assange to his FBI handlers, you can read the article in which he comes clean here > The Lying FBI Informant Trying To Imprison Julian Assange.

Julian Assange's family have just finished a tour of the US to try and raise awareness about his trial, the evidence, and the treatment he is suffering in Belmarsh jail at the moment. I doubt many MSM news channels gave them a positive light, considering they are all now Operation Mockingbird outlets, fully formed in the flesh, with real ex intelligence officers as news anchors, or guest presenters, along with all the adverts for the MIC, including Raytheon and Lockheed and Martin, during their breaks. These deep state entities control the MSM in the US now and it is the reason you cannot get real news from their shows.

They no longer need to sneak about ,and offer secret tax free salaries, as the MI5 does here in the UK to BBC reporters, as attested to in John Snows autobiography. 

Instead they are now funding, advertising on, and reporting the news themselves. You are unlikely to find an unpopular view that goes against the establishment line being uttered by any guest, and if it is, they won't be invited back for sure. 

So many popular commentators and journalists like Glenn Greenwald, Max Blumenthal and many others no longer appear on supposed left wing news channels like MSNBC. Instead they have to go to the right wing FOX, and use Tucker Carlson, as I write about in this article, to get their news out. For this they are smeared by left wing purists as being Right Wing.

Why is it that to get to the truth you have to get labelled crazy first, a conspiracy theorist or a nutter, before finally the truth is revealed and then everyone treats it as if it has always been so. On another matter related to news not getting out to the public.

Even the American DOD, is now admitting UFO's are real, despite their highly redacted report released recently. The top secret part was left out, with only Congress getting the full 700 page version to look at.

“The government has formally and officially come out and informed Congress that these things are – A, they’re real – and two, that they’re not ours and that they seem to be performing, at least some of them … in remarkable ways," 

Even the head of Lockeheed Martin Skunkworks, designer of the Stealth bomber and many other secret planes for the US, said before his death:

“We now have the technology to take ET home. No, it won’t take someone’s lifetime to do it. There is an error in the equations. We know what it is. We now have the capability to travel to the stars.”

and

“We already have the means to travel among the stars but these technologies are locked up in Black Projects…and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.” - Ben Rich, Former Director of Lockheed Skunk works shortly before his passing. You can read that quote and more here.

Ex President's are admitting that something strange is going on in the skies, and scientists who have heard the news are having to re-adjust their thinking to a new paradigm due to this new evidence, a fact now admitted by the Government that UFO's or UAP's as the US DOD is calling them, really do exist. Something they and many others in authority and science fields have mocked people for believing in, for years. 

Their whole world of physics should be changing right now, but how many scientists are actually aware of all this new information?

However, for most people the world just seems to carry on spinning, with hardly any news on this matter having being heard by them. They still think UFO's are a conspiracy theory, despite all the new disclosure by the US Government, Navy, Pentagon and DOD. 

UAP's as the US GOV calls them, have been tracked by Naval ships, and videos that were released by the Pentagon to the public, have been online for years now. Even interviews with pilots who have been allowed to be interviewed about their experiences after chasing UAP's, such Commander David Fravor, who chased what has become known as the "Tic Tac", abound on YouTube if you look for them.

So just like Julian Assange and the threat his prosecution poses to all journalists and leakers of classified information, news that "we can take ET home", does not even make the news or get to the public.

Hopefully the video by Ryan Grim clarifies some things up for those not totally clued up to the injustice being inflicted on this centuries most prolific journalist and founder of WikiLeaks. 

Whether anything will get the UK judge to look into the false claims by the FBI's informant / child molesting fraudster is another matter altogether. Appeal courts do not necessarily look at new evidence, so it is debatable whether they can get this important information to the Judge so they know the FBI's case is based on lies.

If the news that UFO's are real has not hit the heads of most of the population, then what will it take to get this important news about the threat to our free speech, and our right to know what the government does with our tax money, and Julian Assange's torture, out to the people?

Ron Paul attacks the beat of war drums to Iran an Syria in a speech to Congress

By Dark Politricks




Democrat Dennis Kucinich gives way to his friend and comrade on many issues regarding civil liberties, war, foreign policy, the FED and many other things, Ron Paul, in the debate on the Iran Sanctions Bill. Or as Ron Paul likes to call it "The Obsession with Iran Act 2012."

A Bill that was passed anyway 421-6. What a surprise - only a few Congressmen with morals and the strength to say no to their party!

All reasons these two lonely voices are on my Good Guy List.

He says all of the following:

"A vote for this … will show that it’s just one more step to another war that we don’t need," the congressman said in an Aug. 1 speech against the bill.

"We have not been provoked, [Iran] is not a threat to our national security and we should not be doing this. For the past 10 to 15 years we've been obsessed with this idea that we go to war and try to solve all the problems of the world. At the same time, it is bankrupting us."

"What we continue to be doing is obsess with Iran and the idea that Iran is a threat to our national security," the congressman said. "Iran happens to be a Third World nation. They have no significant navy, air force, or intercontinental ballistic missiles."

"Do you think we’re protecting civil liberties by arbitrarily dropping drones or threatening to drop drones any place in the world, with innocent people dying?" the congressman said.

"If we want to really care about civil liberties in Syria, why don’t we really care about the secret prisons we have and the history of torture we have in this country?" While the US is making kill lists, it is preaching for civil liberties abroad and "poking our nose in other people’s affairs, just looking for the chance to start another war," this time in Iran, Ron Paul said.

As Ron Paul says in his speech the Iranian sanctions bill is an act of war and as I have said before we are already at war with Iran and our support of terrorist groups like the MEK and Jundalah who blow up innocent civilians in mosques and scientists in their cars for their Mossad/CIA paymasters is only the scratch of the surface of the covert proxy war already being fought out by US freedom fighters (really) terrorists and the Iranian regime.

As I said months ago America has lost any moral authority it once had in the world by it's recent foreign policy actions.

It's hypocritical support of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia as they crush dissent and attack human rights every day whilst bleating on about the abuses in other nations who are not their friends or sell them large quantities of oil whilst holding US military bases in their territories only makes their hypocrisy more visible to the rest of the world.

When the US/UK/French axis of war attacks countries like Iran and Syria for "targeted killings" all the while holding their own "kill lists" ( death by executive order ). They are being more than a little choosy in who they accuse of human rights violations especially as they let one one of the worlds biggest, China, lend them billions of dollars so they can go to war on tick.

All the while they continue to bankrupt America by fighting wars they cannot afford and keep Gitmo open with many innocent detainees still locked up denied the right of habeas corpus.

Plus they still have the massive blemish of torture at prisons from Afghanistan, Iraq and Cuba on their sheet which they need to remove before any moral authority can be restored to their words and actions.

They use drones to kill innocent people all across the world in their "shadow wars" and claim that no civilians have died purely because they count dead males of certain ages as enemy combatants whether they are or not. Plus who can be bothered to count the dead when a drone drops a bomb in Pakistan that is controlled from Langley.

Drones that now fly the skies over the US in a prequel to a Dark Angel world of instant scanning and automated minority report style pre-crime detection. With a police that is looking more like an armed forces brigade every day.

Driving tanks and using special military grade armour and weaponry to break up small protests or break into citizens houses and shoot dead people or dogs who dare bark too loud all the while looking for small amounts of pot.

Or who can forget the recent Occupy Protests in which cops beat up grannies and held open students noses so that they can shoot pepper spray down their throats  just because they dared to sit down in a peaceful line to protest. It is no wonder people are wondering why the home of the free has become the home of Orwell's worst dreams.

Even the upcoming US Presidential election looks like a choice between two useless contestants. Whoever wins nothing will change unless the American public wake up and vote in someone with morals, a sense of America's true actions in the world and at least a modicum of knowledge about why half the world wants to kill them.

If only there was some way of the American people showing their displeasure at the road it's taking that doesn't involve voting in a GOP version of Obama or keeping a very non-liberal Democrat as President both of which who will do nothing to change the direction America is going in....

What is right and wrong and does it matter who is in the White House?

Does it even matter who is President of the USA anymore?

By Dark Politricks

This a pop quiz to see if you are a free thinker who chooses your morals and behaviour independently of whether "your guy" is in the White House or someone who sees right and wrong whichever side of the coin is in power.

1. Are you someone who is attacking Obama's expansion of the war on terror. His increase in drone strikes and failure to close Gitmo. The  killing by Presidential decree and implementation of civil liberty destroying measures such as increased Internet Spying and the implementation of the NDAA?

2. Were you doing the same when George Bush was implementing the PATRIOT ACT and using warrant-less phone hacking. Allowing his Vice President to have a personal execution team to take out enemies of the state and using extraordinary rendition and torture to gain information from prisoners who were mostly innocent people sold to the Americans by the Afghan warlords. 

Were you decrying  the implementation of drone attacks which de-link the close up smell and emotion of a killing from the deed turning it to nothing more than a real life video game? Did your protests stop when a Democrat "you could believe in" entered the White House and then carried on the Bush policies?

3. Are you someone supporting the Occupy Wall St's desire to have real banking reform, stop bailouts of casino banks that waste billions on bets or "hedges" like JP Morgans's recent London Whale and want to close the disparity between the top 1% and the rest of America. 

Do you mind that during the worst depression of our lifetime the wages of those in the top percent of the country have increased by staggering amounts whereas the lowering, devaluing dollar that means lower and middle class families are seeing real price increases, inflation and lowering living standards?

4. Were you supportive of the original Tea Party and Ron Paul when they were making some of the same claims. Did you change your support of economic policy when Bush left and Obama entered the White House. Do you think it matters who sleeps in the White House bed when the FED can print money, loan out billions to foreign and domestic banks on a whim and devalue the dollar in your pocket without any political oversight?

5. Is it moral or ethical to kill an American citizen without any judicial process even if they are not in America at the time of the killing?

6. What about if they were in America? Should the President be able to sign your death warrant like an English King without your knowledge and without any recourse to  court?

7. Is it okay to kill a Jihadist in Pakistan by drone attack because a CIA agent "thinks" they have the right person in Langley, Virginia?

8. Is it still okay if 50 innocent Pakistani villagers, woman and children are also killed at the same time?

9. What about a thousand people? What number is a legitimate figure for "collateral damage" in these kinds of attacks?

10. What if you later find out that the Jihadist wasn't killed at all and it was a case of mistaken identity. Was the attack still justified? What recourse should the families of the dead victims have against the American government who is supposedly not at war with Pakistan?

11. If a gang of burglars broke into your house in the middle of the night, shot your dog dead, beat you with sticks and de-humanised you in front of your family. Should you have the right to fight back, to kill if necessary to protect your family and possessions?

12. What if the gang wore SWAT uniforms and were following a false tip phoned in by a jealous neighbour or they thought you were smoking marijuana. Should the fact that the state is the gang of thugs killing your pets and beating you make any difference to your right to defend your family and your property?

13. Do you think Obama is bankrupting the country by increasing national debt?

13. What about President Bush or President Reagan? Does your perspective of national debt change depending on whether you are a Republican or Democrat or is debt, debt no matter who is President? Both Bush and Reagan increased the national debt by huge amounts - what is the difference between  a Republican increasing debt and a Democrat?

14. Do you think Obama wants to turn your country into socialist Cuba by having a health policy that actually allows poor people or those with existing conditions to get affordable health care?

15. What would you do if you lost your job due to a bank bailout and a house repossession caused by policies enacted under George W Bush and you couldn't afford your health insurance?

16. What would you do if you broke your leg or had a serious disease. How would you treat your condition? Would you use the most expensive health care system in the world by turning up at your local Hospital Emergency department?

17. Do you think that a healthy work force is a productive one? Or should people born into poor families through no fault of their own be left to suffer and die due to lack of money?

18. Do you think war should be decided by Presidential decree alone or that Congress should vote on every decision that sends peoples children into harms way? Should Congress vote according to their conscience or their parties line on the matter?

19. Do you agree with the wars in Iraq and Libya. Were you against the war in Iraq when Bush was President and for the war in Libya when Obama was? Why was  that?

20. Do you want your country to turn into a modern day Police state where all communications are listened to, automatically filtered and then decisions about whether you can leave and enter the country or travel by plane decided by a text message or email?

21. Should the TSA be able to touch your wife's breasts and touch your children's bodies all in the name of protecting the homeland from terrorists disguised as 4 year old white boys and 80 year old grannies?

22. Should people be able to speak out about government abuses, criminal acts and actions that break international law if they feel that the people have a right to know? Does the law apply to everyone or just the serfs and not the landowners?

23. Should these whistle blowers be punished for breaking "secrets act" laws or praised for following their conscience?

24. Should the American government force private companies to stop trading with people and organisations that try to bring the truth to the people. Knowledge and misdeeds that your government would rather you didn't know about such as the illegal bugging of UN dignitaries or the massacre of innocent people in a war zone?

25. Do you want to live in a world where it is increasingly hard to tell the difference between your once free country and a banana dictatorship that kills opponents on a whim, uses torture and prison without trial, prints money to cause inflation and goes to war to distract the people from real problems at home?

26. Do you really think that by electing Mitt Romney as the next US President anything will really change?

27. If Mitt Romney is elected will he stop the companies he has spent his life "restructuring" from sending their jobs to cheaper market places like China or India or will he protect American jobs at all costs?

28. Will Romney stop the FED printing money and will the government never raise the national debt under his presidency?

29. Do you think that he will stop or expand the war on terror and increase it more to the homeland by naming US Citizens as domestic terrorists. Do you think you are on one of the government watch-lists right now?

30. What can you do about it?

Should a Human Rights Court be the arch enemy of the UK?

By Dark Politricks

Just a short one today related to something that I read in a paper by a famous British controversial comedian Frankie Boyle.

It's about the current furore over the European Court of Human Rights and the extradition of Abu Qatada to Jordan where he will probably be tortured - not that most UK citizens care if he was.

"When your arch enemy is a court of human rights it might be time to take a deep breath and think for a moment what that makes you" - Frankie Boyle

A nice thought provoking quote I thought.

When does a whistle blower become a traitor?

By Dark Politricks

This week saw Private Bradley Manning finally getting his first of many days in court. It must be a relief to put some different clothes on after the many months he has spent in solitude, sometimes naked and depressed with only his thoughts to occupy his time. Some people have called his treatment a form of torture.

Whatever the outcome, and I think we all know what that will be - his fate has been decided many moons ago, the question will remain when does whistle blowing constitute traitorous activity?

If you work for a government body of any kind and you find out that someone or some group within that organisation is breaking either national law or international law by their actions should you speak out?

No matter what you think of Bradley Manning's actions it has been clear from many leaked documents and videos that war crimes have been committed by US troops during their many years of imperialistic activity.

We have had the Abu Ghraib incidents in which detainees, many who were innocent of any crime, were forced to perform humiliating and sexually degrading acts for the camera wielding jailers who claimed they were just following orders from above. Scape goats a many.

We have had the claims of torture at Gitmo in which detainees were water boarded, sometimes multiple times a day. An act the current president of the United States, US and International law calls Torture.

We have had "rouge" groups of US troops commit murder for fun. In Afghanistan a "secret kill team" went on a rampage killing several men and collecting their fingers as trophies. I doubt this was the only group doing this but it took a brave whistle blower to tell the tale.

We had the famous WikiLeaks helicopter attack on a group of Iraqi men, two of which were journalists, which shocked the world when it was released. It showed the "Playstation mentality" of the pilots who seemed to treat the massacre as nothing more than a video game where real human beings and ambulances were just targets to be shot at to gain extra points.

And the list could go on across many more years, wars and armies as atrocities are not just committed by the USA but by UK troops, Russian soldiers in Chechnya, Bosnian Serbs, Turkish and Israeli armies. No countries army is immune from the horrors and excesses of war. War crimes are committed on a daily basis and no doubt clever and influential people in the West are plotting and planning as I write trying to create plans to delay the imminent rise to dominance of China.

However we have seen what happens to people who dare to stick their head over the parapet and accuse their own government of wrong doing.

Daniel Ellsberg felt the full force of US law when he brought to the US populations attention the excesses of the Vietnam war in the Pentagon papers and Mordechai Vanunu found out what happens when you mess with the Israeli establishment who were secretly building nuclear weapons at their Dimona nuclear plant.

Ex British Spy David Shayler was jailed for his revelations that the MI6 were funding Al-Qaeda linked terrorists in a plot to kill Col Gaddafi and after 9.11 numerous whistle-blowers including the "most gagged person in history" Sibel Edmonds were prevented from telling the world what they knew about the US governments pre-knowledge of the attacks on the country.

Therefore it seems that it does not pay to be a truth teller when the goverment you serve is more interested in telling lies.

You risk a lot by going public with evidence of wrong doing when the organisation you work for treats whistle blowing as official secrets to be kept, even when they know those secrets are illegal, immoral and wrong.

We can see now how Julian Assange is being treated for daring to open a website up that allowed whistle-blowers to pass information on secretly. If the government in question can't get you then it will use it's corporatist nature and it's overseas allies to hurt you by shutting down your site, blocking funding and bank accounts and possibly even going as far as concocting false accusations of sexual molestation so that you can be character assassinated in the public domain.

To many it is clear that our supposedly free, western liberal democratic governments are nothing of the sort. The continuous swapping of power between similar political parties run or backed by millionaires and big business every few years is nothing more than the illusion of democracy being played out for the watching populous.

We can see it now in Egypt and Libya. Two countries who are supposedly now free of their tyrannical leaders and who are supposed to be embracing democracy with open arms.

In Egypt people are voting in pointless elections for a government with no power whilst the military still controls the country.

In Libya the old dictator has been replaced by a grouping of his old deputies, "ex" terrorists and other regime linked cronies who seem to be loathe to hand power back to the people.

Right now in Benghazi people are protesting about the countries interim government, the National Transitional Council, who they feel are being too slow to affect any meaningful change.

They also believe that the NTC leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil who was the ex Minister for Justice under Gaddafi is far too willing to forgive ex colleagues and Gaddafi supporters. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that as Minister for Justice he was probably personally responsible for many of the human rights abuses and crimes that went on under the old regime.

Same faces, different name. That is the game we are all playing as the world spins in turmoil and we watch protesters from Wall Street to Europe to the Middle East all try and affect change in their lives whilst our real rulers, the bankers and their cohorts shuffle the deck of politicians and make us all believe the impossible.

As Bradley Manning goes to court today, whether you agree with his actions or not, I wonder how many of us in this current climate of fear would dare to stand up and say "No", if they knew the punishment that faced them for doing so.

Would you?
