The End
of Accountable Government Is Close at Hand

- For about 70 years the CIA has been
undermining a free press.
It began with Operation Mockingbird, a
Cold War operation against communism.
The CIA recruited journalists into a
propaganda network.
The CIA paid journalists to write fake
stories or to publish stories written by the CIA
in order to control explanations that served the
agency’s agendas.
Student and cultural organizations and
intellectual magazines, such as Encounter, were
suborned into the CIA’s propaganda network.
Thanks to the German journalist, Udo
Ulfkotte, we know that every European journalist
of any significance is a CIA asset.
In 1977 Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame
wrote in Rolling Stone that the CIA “has
secretly bankrolled numerous foreign press
services, periodicals and newspapers—both
English and foreign language—which provided
excellent cover for CIA operatives.”
Like most other people, Western
journalists were all too willing to sell out
their integrity for money.
The few who were not were blackmailed
into submission.
The few honest journalists who remain have been
forced out of the “mainstream” or presstitute
media onto Internet websites.
Wikileaks is by far the best news
organization of our time.
To bring this organization to heel
Washington, using its Swedish, British, and
Ecuadoran vassals, has persecuted Wikileaks’
founder, Julian Assange, for years.
The CIA’s media vassals, including the
New York Times and The Guardian, both of which
published the material leaked to Wikileaks that
is being used to destroy Assange, have joined
wholeheartedly in the persecution of the World’s
Best and Most Honest Journalist.
Currently Assange is being tortured, apparently
to death, while bring held in solitary
confinement in a maximum security British prison
awaiting his extradition to the US on false
charges.
As the CIA cannot be certain it has
suborned all the federal judges, Washington is
just as happy if Assange dies in a British
prison as there is no valid case against him
under current US law.
Probably the absence of a valid case
doesn’t matter as the rule of law in the US is
very difficult to find.
The
lack of any valid case against Assange is the
reason the distinguished documentary film maker
John Pilger describes Assange’s persecution as a
Stalinist Show Trial.

What is astonishing about the CIA’s destruction
of Julian Assange is the silence of American law
schools and bar associations, the silence of
universities, the absence of student and labor
union protests, the absence of any protection of
Assange’s rights from courts as the last news
organization willing and capable of holding
governments accountable for their crimes is
destroyed openly in full view of the law
schools, intellectuals, bar associations,
courts, and print and TV media.
The CIA’s control over explanations is as
complete as the control Big Brother has in
George Orwell’s dystopian novel, 1984.
And this doesn’t bother the citizens of
the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Europe.
Only a few individuals speak out for
Assange, and they, too, are demonized in turn.
The Age of Tyranny has now descended upon the
Western World.
