The United States Cries About War Crimes While Imprisoning A Journalist For Exposing Its War Crimes by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

In what his lawyers have described as a "brief but significant moment in the case," a British magistrates court has signed off on Julian Assanges extradition to the United States, bringing the WikiLeaks founder one step closer to a United States trial under the Espionage Act which threatens press freedoms worldwide.

The extradition case now goes to United Kingdom Home Secretary Priti Patel for approval, which will likely be forthcoming as Patel is a reliably loyal empire manager. After that point, Mr. Assanges legal team will be able to launch an appeal.

This is happening at the same time the United States and the United Kingdom are loudly demanding accountability for alleged war crimes by the Russian military in Ukraine, which is interesting because attempting to bring accountability for war crimes is precisely why Julian Assange is in prison.

"He is a war criminal," President Biden said of Vladimir Putin following allegations of war crimes in Bucha, Ukraine earlier this month. "I think it is a war crime. .. He should be held accountable."

And that is all I would like to say here today, really.

That this discrepancy is very interesting.

I mean, can we take a moment to deeply appreciate the irony of this??

Because it is so obscene and outrageous it is actually hard to take in unless you really let it absorb.

The most powerful government in the world, which serves as the hub of the most powerful empire that has ever existed, is working to extradite a journalist for exposing its war crimes while simultaneously rending its garments over war crime allegations against another government.

I mean, damn. You would think a power structure that had recently been caught red-handed committing war crimes and is currently in the process of imprisoning a journalist for exposing those war crimes would at least have the sense not to yell too loudly about war crimes for a little while. But this is how confident the empire is in its ability to control the narrative.

Really take it in.

Really digest it.

The more you think about it, the freakier it gets.

Not only is the empire persecuting a journalist for exposing its war crimes while at the same time demanding that others be held accountable for war crimes, it is also attacking the free press for reporting the truth about the powerful while at the very same time engaging in a massive propaganda operation which holds that it is involved in Ukraine to protect its freedom and democracy.

Are people not tired of having their intelligence insulted like this???-

I mean, the gall. The absolute temerity. The balls on this empire, man.

I have said it before and I will say it again: Mr. Julian Assange exposed many ugly realities about the powerful in his work with WikiLeaks, but everything that he has managed to expose thereafter simply by forcing them to prosecute him far surpasses the revelations in those publications.

If the highest form of journalism is exposing the darkest secrets of the most powerful people in the world, then Mr. Julian Assange is the highest form of journalist.
