The
Fake Charge Against Julian Assange Proves That
the US Government Has No Integrity
By Paul
Craig Roberts
“If Julian Assange is criminalized and
incarcerated for revealing the truth
about what our rulers are doing, have
done, then you might as well deliver
yourself behind those walls, you might
as well volunteer for a prison cell
yourself, because you’ll no longer be
free, and you’ll never be free again.”

- Let’s be sure that we
understand that Assange is not charged with
anything related to Russia or Russiagate or even
with breaking a law. Assange is charged with
being in a conspiracy with Manning “to commit
computer intrusion.” The charge is not that
Assange succeeded in hacking a government
computer and obtaining classified information.
It merely says that Assange discussed the
possibility with Manning and had an intention to
hack a computer. Most likely, even this noncrime
is an invention of prosecutors instructed to
indict Assange in the absence of any evidence.
It is all that they could come up with.
It is
impossible to respect the indictment. It is the
product of evil, and the evil indictment is a
direct assault on the First Amendment to the US
Constitution. Those who have brought this false
charge have violated their oath to protect the
Constitution from enemies abroad and at home. It
is the enemies at home that we have to be
concerned about as it is these enemies who have
power over us.
If the
US government had any evidence that Assange
actually hacked a government computer, he would
be charged with that. But as there is no
evidence of an actual crime, the corrupt
American prosecutors and a stupid and
manipulated grand jury rolled out the conspiracy
charge. A conspiracy is when a couple of people
planned a bank robbery but didn’t do it. In
other words, they thought about it and talked
about it. Therefore, a conspiracy existed
although nothing really happened. Prosecutors
and courts have corrupted the actual law to the
point that a person can be arrested for
considering a crime. In other words, “thought
crimes” already exist. They are called
“conspiracies.” Now that they have machines that
they claim can read our minds, if you think
about murdering someone, you can be arrested for
“conspiracy to commit murder.”

Another
example is when two or more people talk about
getting some narcotics and having a high evening
but instead watch a movie and go to bed. They
could be charged with “conspiracy to obtain
illegal narcotics.” This is the type of charge
for which Assange faces extradition to
Washington.
Why?
The answer is that the criminal, petty, and
vindictive U.S. government wants to (1) get
revenge on Assange for publishing documents
leaked to him, allegedly by Manning—but we don’t
have any proof of that either other than a
coerced admission from a tortured person—that
reveal US war crimes and deception of allies,
and (2) to shut down the First Amendment of the
U.S. Constitution so that the government’s
crimes can never again be revealed by
journalists. This is Washington’s way of solving
the whistleblower problem.
The
charge against Assange has nothing to do with
the leak of the emails that revealed how Hillary
stole the Democratic presidential nomination
from Bernie Sanders. Computer experts such as
William Binney have proven that the Democratic
emails were downloaded on a thumb drive, not
hacked over the internet. Most likely the DNC
employee who leaked the incriminating emails is
the young man who was mysteriously shot down in
the street in an unsolved murder that Hillary
and the DNC most certainly do not want solved.
The
British government, a vassal of Washington,
arrested Assange inside the Ecuadoran embassy in
London on the pretext that he was wanted for
skipping bail.
This
arrest is the end result of the British, in
compliance with Washington’s orders, seizing
Assange in response to a request from a Swedish
prosecutor who was put up to renewing the
investigation of Assange and requested Assange’s
extradition to Sweden for questioning.
According to law, extradition requires a formal
charge or indictment against the person whose
extradition is requested. It is outside the law
to extradite people for questioning. The
extradition request was doubly troubling as
Assange while in Sweden had already been
questioned by prosecutors who found that there
was no case against Assange. No charges were
ever filed against him, and the investigation
was closed.
The
presstitute media and crazed feminists have lied
through their teeth for years that Assange used
his political asylum to escape rape charges.
Even non-prestitute media, such as Russian
English language media, have repeated this
disinformation.
There
were never any rape charges against Assange.
What happened is this. Two Swedish women took
Assange into their beds in their homes and had
consensual sex with him. No condom was used. The
women or one of them wanted Assange to take a
test so she could be reassured that he had no
disease that could be sexually transmitted.
Assange foolishly refused. The woman went to the
police to see if Assange could be coerced to
take the test. Out of this came the
investigation that was closed without charges.
Assange was free to leave Sweden.
He
foolishly went to the UK, Washington’s prime
puppet state. Once there Washington prevailed on
a female Swedish prosecutor to reopen
questioning of Assange.
No real
reason was ever given for the female Swedish
prosecutor to reopen the questioning. One
possible reason is Washington’s money. It was
clear to Assange’s lawyers that the extradition
request was a trick to get him back in Swedish
hands so that he could be handed over to
Washington. Assange fought the extradition, but
a corrupt British court to comply with Washingon
ruled that Assange could be extradited for
questioning even though there were no changes
against him. This ruling shocked everyone who
thought British judges had integrity.
Seeing
what was coming, Assange sought and was granted
political asylum by Ecuador and fled his British
house arrest to the Ecuadoran embassy in London.
Eventually the Swedish feminist prosecutor who
attempted to reopen the investigation of Assange
consented to question him in the embassy with
the result that she closed her investigation.
This ended all excuses for the UK to hold
Assange for Sweden. As there was no charge,
Assange was not guilty of violating bail.
Without a charge there is no bail. That is the
way the law used to be before the corrupted
British courts pissed all over the law and
dishonored British justice.
The US
and UK governments refused to honor Assange’s
political asylum, just as the Soviet government
refused to honor the political asylum that the
United States gave to Hungarian Cardinal Jozsef
Mindszenty, who ended up living in the US
embassy in Hungary for 15 years. At least the
Soviets had more integrity than to arrest the
Cardinal inside the US embassy. But the British
are devoid of integrity. The only concern of the
British government is to obey Washington. They
all hope for the sixty million pounds that is
Tony Blair’s reward for supporting Washington’s
Iraq invasion.
As both
the US and UK governments are more corrupt than
the Soviet government was and refuse to abide by
international law, Assange was their prisoner in
the embassy. He was safe there as long as Rafael
Correa was president of Ecuador. But when Correa
refused popular demand to let the Constitution
be changed so that he could serve another term,
Washington got its creep installed, Lenin
Moreno, who sold Assange to Washington for an
IMF loan.
To be
sure you understand, as you have been filled
with lies about Assange for almost a decade, he
raped no one. He was never charged with raping
anyone. He has broken no law. He is a journalist
who did nothing but what the New York Times did
when the paper published the leaked Pentagon
Papers and published some of the same leaked
documents for which Assange has been arrested
for publishing. He is being framed up on a false
nonsense charge because the US government in
order to protect its own criminality is moving
to destroy the First Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution.
They
will succeed in destroying the First Amendment.
Who is
there to stop them?
Not
presstitutes. They hate Julian Assange for
showing them up and doing the job of a
journalist while they lie 24/7 as a propaganda
ministry for the ruling establishment. If life
were based on breathing integrity from the
presstitute media, we would all be already dead.
Not the
Republicans or the conservatives. Their
patriotism causes them to hate Assange because
“he embarrassed the U.S. government.” The
Republicans are as mindless and unaware of their
participation in the murder of the First
Amendment as the presstitutes and Democrats. For
example, Republican Senator Richard Burr, sent
to the Senate by insouciant North Carolinians,
expressed his total brainwashing by alleging,
ignorantly, that Assange and WikiLeaks have
“effectively acted as an arm of the Russian
intelligence services for years.” The
brainwashed Republican Senator from Nebraska,
Ben Sasse, called Assange “a wicked tool of
Vladimir Putin and the Russian intelligence
services” who “deserves to spend the rest of his
life in prison.”
This
extraordinary level of ignorance and pre-trial
accusations by US Senators prejudice Assange’s
trial so severely that if America had honest
judges the case would be dismissed on the
grounds that an unbiased jury cannot be formed.
Not the
Democrats. The Hillary clique are having orgasms
over the prospect that Assange will end up like
Gaddafi. The brainwashed Democratic Senator from
Virginia, Mark Warner, showed his total
ignorance of what is transpiring in front of his
blind eyes when the fool said of Assange: “what
he’s really become is a direct participant in
Russian efforts to undermine the West and a
dedicated accomplice in efforts to undermine
American security.”
Not the
liberal/progressive/left. In thrall to Identity
Politics, our “conscience class” want Assange
flayed alive. He is a white male responsible for
slavery, for rape, for discrimination against
women, blacks, homosexuals and alternative
genders. The liberal/progressive/left’s attitude
is: If we can’t get him for these reasons, let
them get him for being a Russian spy.
Perhaps
the most absurd charge comes from Veterans Today
which describes Assange as “king of the Deep
State, European Freemasonry and marriage with
Zionism” and alleges that Wikileaks was created
to launder Mossad disinformation and enjoys the
protection of the Rothschild family.

All are
too stupid and full of hate to realize that with
Julian Assange goes the First Amendment.
One
wonders what the idiot Atlanticist
Integrationists in Russia are thinking as they
advocate sacrificing Russian sovereignty in
order to be part of the West. Why do they want
to be part of a cruel, inhumane empire that has
no concern for truth, justice, and human life?
Is it the money that the Atlanticist
Integrationists want, invitations to speak at
American universities? How can anyone be so
stupid as to want to be part of a criminal
organization?
What
the West needs is someone to stamp it out. The
West is evil beyond the meaning of the word.
How do
those of us who love our country defend it when
our government invades on the basis of
transparent lies other countries for the sake of
profit, when our government commits high treason
by attacking the US Constitution, and when our
government punishes truth and those who reveal
truth?
Think
about the rising crimes committed by US
governments since the Clinton regime against the
U.S. Constitution, international law, and
America’s reputation. Clinton violated
Washington’s promise to Russia that NATO would
not be moved to Russia’s border and committed
war crimes by illegally bombing Serbia and
murdering 500,000 Iraqi children with sanctions.
The NATO vassals participated in the crimes.
George W. Bush illegally invaded and bombed
countries, repealed habeas corpus and asserted
the power to detain US citizens indefinitely
without trial or conviction. Obama destroyed
Libya, tried to destroy Syria, overthrew the
democratically elected presidents of Honduras
and Ukraine, and murdered US citizens without
due process of law. The Trump regime is busy at
work murdering the First Amendment and
overthrowing the democratically elected
president of Venezuela.
It is
extraordinary that the world accepts the
extraterritoriality of US law. There is no basis
for the absurd claim that the US serves as the
legislative body for the entire world.
Washington announces that it has selected the
president of Venezuela, a Washington puppet who
not only was not elected by the Venezuelan
people but has never been a candidate in a
presidential election, and the announcement that
Washington has chosen the president of Venezuela
becomes the basis for overthrowing a democratic
government. The mythical “Western Democracies”
line up behind the lie in order to aid
Washington in plundering a country.
This is
“Western democracy” as it really is. We should
be very ashamed that we, the people, permitted
the United States government to degenerate into
criminality and barbarity.
