The Empire Slowly Suffocates Assange Like It Slowly Suffocates All Its Enemies by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

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

Helping Israel starve Gaza while slowly pretending to work toward solutions. Drawing out a proxy war in Ukraine for as long as possible to bleed Russia. Slowly killing Julian Assange in prison without trial under the pretense of judicial proceedings.

The British High Court has ruled that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange may potentially get a final appeal against extradition to the United States, but only within a very limited scope and only if specific conditions are met.

The court ruled that Mr. Assange may appeal only on the grounds that his freedom of speech might be restricted in the United States, and that there is a possibility he could receive the death penalty. If the United States provides "assurances" that neither of these things will happen, then the trial moves to another phase where Mr. Assanges legal team may debate the merits of those assurances. If the United States does not provide those assurances, then the limited appeal will move forward.

Absurdly, the court determined that Mr. Assanges lawyers may not argue against extradition on matters as self-evidently critical as the fact that the Central Intelligence Agency plotted to assassinate him, or on the basis that he is being politically persecuted for the crime of inconvenient journalism.

The High Court on Tuesday rejected five Julian Assange grounds for a new appeal, agreeing he had only three legitimate arguments but that the United States could nullify them with new "assurances," reports Joe Lauria. "please see here:"-Consortium News (Consortiumnews) March 26, 2024

The mass media are calling this a "reprieve", even "wonderful news", but as Jonathan Cook explains in his latest article "Mr. Assanges "reprieve" is another lie, hiding the real goal of keeping him endlessly locked up," that is all a bunch of crap.

"The word "reprieve" is there - just as the judges headline ruling that some of the grounds of his appeal have been "granted" - to conceal the fact that he is prisoner to an endless legal charade every bit as much as he is a prisoner in a Belmarsh cell," writes Cook. "In fact, todays ruling is yet further evidence that Mr. Julian Assange is being denied due process and his most basic legal rights - as he has been for a decade or more."

Cook writes the following:

"The case has always been about buying time. To disappear Mr. Julian Assange from public view. To vilify him. To smash the revolutionary publishing platform he founded to help whistleblowers expose state crimes. To send a message to other journalists that the United States can reach them wherever they live should they try to hold Washington,D.C. to account for its criminality.

"And worst of all, to provide a final solution for the nuisance Mr. Assange had become for the global superpower by trapping him in an endless process of incarceration and trial that, if it is allowed to drag on long enough, will most likely kill him."

This kind of slow motion strangulation is how the empire operates all the time these days, across all spheres. Helping Israel starve Gaza while slowly pretending to work toward solutions. Drawing out a proxy war in Ukraine for as long as possible to bleed Russia. Slowly killing Mr. Julian Assange in prison without trial under the pretense of judicial proceedings.

The United States-centralized empire hunts not like a tiger, killing its prey with one fatal bite to the jugular, but more like a python: slowly suffocating the life out of its prey until it perishes. It favors the long, drawn-out, confusing strangulation of inconvenient populations and individuals, carried out under the cover of bureaucracy and propaganda spin. In todays world it prefers sanctions, blockades and long proxy conflicts over the big Hulk-smash ground invasions we saw it carry out in places like Iraq and Vietnam.

These slow suffocations can take more time, but what they lack in efficiency they make up for in the quality of perception management. It is bad Public Relations to just openly invade countries and murder people, which is why the leaders of the western empire have been able to wag their fingers at Putin despite their being quantifiably far more murderous than Russia.

People start snapping out of the propaganda matrix you spent so much time building for them and begin organizing against the political status quo your power is premised on.

So they opt for slow strangulation strategies where they can confuse the public about what is happening and who is responsible, outsourcing the blame to other parties while posing as the good guy who is trying to bring peace and stability.

It takes time, but the empire has time to burn. That is what happens when you are the most powerful empire in the history of civilization; you have the luxury of biding your time while orchestrating large-scale, long-term operations to advance your power agendas.

Meanwhile Gaza starves, Ukraine bleeds, and Mr. Julian Assange languishes in prison, each needing this to end with more urgency every day.
