The War On Journalism In Belmarsh, The War On Journalism In Gaza by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

The fight to free Julian Assange is a fight to protect press freedoms around the world, since the United States is using the case in an attempt to set a legal precedent for extraditing and imprisoning any journalist or publisher anywhere in the world who shares information with the public that the United States does not want shared.

I have not written much about Julian Assange lately because I have been so fixated on what is been happening in Gaza, but we should all be acutely aware that the 20th and 21st of February may be the WikiLeaks founders final chance to avoid extradition to the United States to face persecution for the crime of good journalism.

Mr. Julian Assange and his legal team will face two High Court judges during the two-day hearing in London, who will then determine whether or not the United Kingdom will allow the Australian journalist to be dragged to the United States in chains for a crooked show trial and cast into one of the worlds most draconian prison systems for exposing the war crimes of the worlds most powerful government.

Some United States lawmakers are attempting to block the extradition from the other end with House Resolution 934, which asserts that "regular journalistic activities are protected under the First Amendment, and that the United States ought to drop all charges against and attempts to extradite Julian Assange." If charges were dropped it would not only prevent the extradition but allow for Mr. Assange to be freed from the Belmarsh maximum security prison, where he has been jailed by the British government since 2019.

Call your representative today & urge them to sign Resolution 934: "Regular journalistic activities are protected under the First Amendment, and that the United States ought to drop all charges against and attempts to extradite Julian Assange"-WikiLeaks (wikileaks) January 24, 2024

The fight to free Mr. Julian Assange is a fight to protect press freedoms around the world, since the United States is using the case in an attempt to set a legal precedent for extraditing and imprisoning any journalist or publisher anywhere in the world who shares information with the public that the United States does not want shared.

And it is worth mentioning that this fight is not actually separate from the fight against Israels efforts to keep journalism out of Gaza by assassinating reporters and blocking the press from entering the enclave. It is also not separate from humanitys overall struggle to build a truth-based civilization, nor ultimately from our greater struggle to become a conscious species.

All throughout humanity there are pushes toward truth and seeing and pushes toward secrecy and darkness. In the press we see both: the authentic journalists like Mr. Assange who want all that is hidden to be made transparent, and the propagandists of the mainstream media who work to obfuscate and distort the truth.

Those who seek the emergence of a harmonious and truth-based society want as much visibility into what is really happening as possible, while tyrannical power structures like the United States empire and Israel are constantly working to dim the lights.

Day X is here.

The public hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice will be on 20-21 February.

It may be the final chance for the United Kingdom to stop Julians extradition. Gather outside the court at 8:30am on both days. It is now or never.-Stella Assange #FreeAssangeNOW (Stella_Assange) December 19, 2023

Wherever you see domination and abuse, you see efforts to limit perception and keep human minds from seeing and understanding what is going on.

It is true of empires, it is true of governments, it is true of cult leaders, it is true of abusive spouses, and it is true of the unpleasant dynamics within our own psyches that we would rather not look at. The less seeing there is, the more abusiveness is possible; the more seen things become, the closer we get to freedom.

I am no prophet, but I strongly suspect that our future as a species will be determined by the outcome of this struggle. If the impulse toward truth and seeing wins out, we are probably headed toward a world of health and harmony. If the impulse to keep everything confused and hidden and unconscious wins, we are probably headed for dystopia and extinction.

In any case, all we can do is fight to make things more visible so that health and harmony become possible.

Fight to make things conscious within ourselves.

Fight to keep journalism legal in the shadow of the empire.

Fight to spotlight Israels atrocities in Gaza.

Fight to make the unseen seen.

Fight to bring humanity into the light of consciousness.
