Just so it’s crystal clear for all to hear. I stand with #JulianAssange as he greatly suffers & suffocates in a UK prison with his very life in jeopardy from the predations of State power — while way too many still spout & shout out gov’t allegations against him as inviolate. 1/6
I know what it’s like to risk one’s life & liberty & experience pathological & vindictive vice grip of State power as I was framed, indicted by US under draconian Espionage Act & labeled as a self-radicalized Insider Threat, then sentenced & went free under a #CFAA plea deal. 2/6
Why? Becuz I blew whistle as duty to warn on deep abyss of StateSecrecy & in public interest as press source reporting on harm & abuse of normalized psychopathic NatSecState power, violations of law & rise turn-key technocratic tyranny for societal surveillance & control ends 3/6
So it is high time & way past time to end the utterly brazen violation of #Assange international asylum status, extra-legal & extra-judicial charade of his politically-driven extradition, pretense & pretext of US gov’t investigation against @Wikileaks & let #Assange go free. 4/6
If not, his case — beyond post hoc ergo propter hoc traps & attacks on him — is a clear & present threat to any unauthorized press reporting exposing abuses of State Power & Crimes of State against people — when its truth is turned by the State into a macabre form of treason. 5/6
Public interest disclosures running afoul the Sentries of Authority are then treated as Crimes Against the State & prosecuted as subversion of State power & Enemies of the State — protected by Swords & Shields of rising Security State — accelerating death knell of democracy. 6/6
