The US government has won its appeal against a lower British court’s rejection of its extradition request to prosecute Julian Assange for journalistic activity under the Espionage Act. Rather than going free, the WikiLeaks founder will continue to languish in Belmarsh Prison where he has already spent over two and a half years despite having been convicted of no crime.
“As a result, that extradition request will now be sent to British Home Secretary Prita Patel, who technically must approve all extradition requests but, given the U.K. Government’s long-time subservience to the U.S. security state, is all but certain to rubber-stamp it,” writes Glenn Greenwald. “Assange’s representatives, including his fiancee Stella Morris, have vowed to appeal the ruling, but today’s victory for the U.S. means that Assange’s freedom, if it ever comes, is further away than ever: not months but years even under the best of circumstances.”
“Mark this day as fascism casts off its disguises,” tweeted journalist John Pilger of the ruling.

This ruling which allows the US to continue working to extradite a journalist for exposing US war crimes comes on the final day of Washington’s so-called “Summit for Democracy“, where the US Secretary of State made a grandiose show about how press freedom “plays an indispensable role in informing the public, holding governments accountable, and telling stories that otherwise would not be told” and said “The U.S. will continue to stand up for the brave and necessary work of journalists around the world.”
This ruling also comes on UN Human Rights Day.
This ruling comes on the same day as two journalists formally received the Nobel Peace Prizes they’d been rewarded and demanded protections for journalists in their acceptance speech.
This ruling comes as the US government pledges hundreds of millions of dollars in support for “independent media” around the world in coordination with British state media.
This ruling comes after it was revealed that the CIA drew up plans to kidnap and assassinate Assange in the Ecuadorian embassy after the 2017 Vault 7 releases embarrassed the agency.
This ruling comes after it was revealed that CIA proxies spied on Assange and his lawyers at the Ecuadorian embassy, thereby making a fair trial in the United States impossible.
This ruling comes after it was revealed that the US prosecution relied on false testimony from a diagnosed sociopath and convicted child molester.
This ruling comes after recent investigative reports on civilian-slaughtering US airstrikes reminded us why it’s so important for the press to be able to conduct critical natsec journalism on the most powerful military force ever assembled.
The High Court has ruled that Julian #Assange can be extradited to the US. "How can it be fair, how can it be right, how can it be possible, to extradite Julian to the very country which plotted to kill him?" said Stella Moris. Mark this day as fascism casts off its disguises.

The facts are in and the case is closed: the US and its allies do not care about press freedoms beyond the extent that they can be used to conduct propaganda. The way journalists who offend the powerful are dealt with by the US government and the way they are dealt with by the Saudi monarchy differ only in terms of speed and messiness.
The masks are crumbling. Even when he is silenced, immobilized, locked up and hidden from public view, Julian Assange continues to shine a light on the abusive mechanisms of power. He is arguably exposing them more now than ever before.
As fascism casts off its disguises, it becomes more and more important to highlight the hypocrisy, fraudulence and depravity of the people who rule our world.

The USA wanted o make an example of UFO buff Gary Mk kinnon
they said he would get 70 years for lookng through CIA files on UFO flying saucers
But UFO buffs across the country said if they did extradite him to the USA for trial they would put everything they had on the USA secret UFO programmes on the net
next day saw an immediate turnaround and they dropped all charges
Gary said when he was looking through th files there were dozens of others manly chinese doing he same thing
but the USA wanted to make an example of the Brit.
Similarly the same game plan could be used with asange
while not totally convinced he is genuine
israel is the central hub of all world terrorism even the BLM is run from tel aviv
asange says noting about the evil of this shitty little state
Headline –
UK judiciary reverses decision and agrees to extradite Assange to the country that planned to assassinate him.
The stinking, rotting edifice of Globalist criminality is clearly on display. It is the time to take control away from those behind the curtain.
“The US government has won its appeal …”
Bosh!
I’d like to know who got paid off or blackmailed because the US had no case.
Either way Assange is screwed. But he did put up a good fight.
Why is it fascism…..this stuff goes on under communist regimes.
How about “cuntism”….which covers the elites left or right…
Fascism! LOL, Caitlynn. Heads up: it ain’t the Nazis and never was.
I wish a russian nuke on virginia !
The MIC mafia and Jewish mafia casts off its disguises. And guess what…the Vatican has nothing to do with it.
Poor old Assange; he’s taken one for the truth, not the whole truth but for some truth.
America has turned him into a martyr. Not very clever.
This is not Fascism, this is comunism/bolshevism. How many times? Fascism was formed solely to fight against these communist/bolsheviks.
Wasting his time appealing the decision. Do not think he leaves prison alive, and said that after he got the court ruling to delay the decision to send him to the U.S for trial. As said think his chances of freedom are next to zero, but if he has a chance he would be better fighting it in the U.S courts. Would not be surprised to hear he has taken his own life epstein style ?.
Who cares anyway about this guy anyway..He never exposed anything of value like 9/11 being a Zionist-CIA-Mossad black op–just meaningless ‘leaks’. It was all a staged psy-op form the start. Assange is probably being well taken care of by his handlers…
Pilger and Assange never saw the bifurcation into Commies and Zionists out of one Jewish trunk, where Commie uniformity is only for the goyim, while Jews get identity and pride.
@ ROSS
FOR ME communism+ nazifascism (not the italian)
is all the same : OPRESSION; CENSUR; POLICE
BY NIGHT; GULAG/KZ all the same . all have their
snitches + spies in neighbourhood + liquidation in
diferent sophisticated ways.
fasci were the stick bundles of taxcollectors (jews)
for roman empire . who did not pay got beaten or
killed by axe . IT MEANS PUNISHING + punish
do both systems . there is no diference .
What is going on in the UK is fascism with Johnson as the great dictator. The Government are now moving toward a “Separation of Powers Act!. This will take the judiciary out of the decision making process in cases where the Government does not want the likely outcome. These people have to be removed by force if necessary.
Assange : Controlled opposition
“And sure enough, Assange was groomed in the Oligarchs’ machine for years. Then when he came out and said ‘9/11 was NOT an inside job’… that cemented the deal.”
https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_globalupraising80.htm
“WikiLeaks would appear to be pro-Israel. ”
“Reportedly, Julian Assange has a deal with Israel to withhold documents that would embarrass Israel.
Indymedia UK asked – “Why did the hundreds of thousands of American classified documents leaked … not contain anything that may embarrass the Israeli government?
“The answer appears to be a secret deal struck between Wikileaks … [and] Israeli officials, which ensured that all such documents were ‘removed’ before the rest were made public.”
“Julian Assange appears to have worked to get Israel’s friend Donald Trump into the White House.”

@Ross , agree 100%,communism is from the left and fascism is from the
right, the fact that so many people believe they are the same just shows
you how ignorant / uneducated they are and know squat about history
Look Assange is a crypto jew,as is his wife (Morris….see for example Morrison the PM of Australia.OR just for example Jim Morrison of the Doors pop group,currently residing in a Paris Cemetery…he is still causing problems because morons graffiti his grave.
The Assange case serves as a useful reminder that in reality there is no free speech in Britain.The place is controlled top to bottom by the Jews,usually in crypto mode…Johnson is referred to as having some vague remote “jewish connections”…this is absolute TRIPE….like Cameron and his rich zio wife,he is 101% jewish.His buck toothed wife who has just hatched another hatchling is also one of the gangsters (there are satanic flavoured photographs of this jewess on the internet)
Assange is useful in convincing people there IS a conspiracy….as if most people cared!.)
The Windsors are all jews of course and naturally or unnaturally are extremely weird/odd people/lizards.Their close association with Saville the monstrously sick pedophile….says it all.
lets have some clarification here
its not taschism but comunism
communism is jewsh themy calls the name nazis as an abbreviation of nazarenes or christians
later this was changed to national socialists
if there was no jewish communism there would have been no nazis
@Kiwi
Most people know squat about anything.
Particularly galling, and laughable if it weren’t a perfect example of Jew satanic inversion, was the vile Jew sack of pig vomit Blinken puking out this doozy: “Media freedom plays an indispensable role in informing the public, holding governments accountable, and telling stories that otherwise would not be told. The U.S. will continue to stand up for the brave and necessary work of journalists around the world.”
While the first sentence there is technically true, it certainly hasn’t been applied since Jews got a stranglehold on media domination and control. The second sentence from Blinken the embarrassing buffoon and criminal traitor is nothing but steaming Orwellian bullshit. More than ever, the mainstream corporate media has betrayed the people to a horrifically immoral and criminal degree, and is nothing but a propaganda apparatus for the ruling class and a major method of distribution for weaponized behavioral psychology.
It’s called Communism you dumb-shiites.
Brought to you by the same tribe.
Look it up.
Sounds like the author must be terribly confused. Fascism is the unification of a nation into a cohesive collective who share a heritage and a vision for the future. If you recall, the fascists were the folks who fought and died trying to save the world from becoming the dystopian jew nightmare that it now is. Sadly, after Germany nearly defeated all of the armies of international jewry by itself, the jew used immigration and cultural engineering as a means of strategically diversifying all European nations to prevent another fascist movement rising up and taking them down. Their political system of choice, which they proudly look to spread worldwide, is Democracy, which is nothing other than a jewish cryptocracy within which the media is used to program those who cannot think independently (majority of population at this point) and thereby manufacture public policy.
