3 Jun 2019<\/em> – Julian Assange is being slowly murdered by \u201cHer Majesty\u2019s Prison Service\u201d at Belmarsh prison in the south-east of London. The prison is notorious for holding people who have never been charged with a crime indefinitely. It is also called the British version of Guantanamo, and, typically used to detain so-called terrorists, thus called by the British police and secret service and aped by the British MSM and establishment.<\/p>\n

Terrorists that become terrorists by continuous and repeated accusations, by media propaganda, but not necessarily by fact. Remember, if a lie is repeated often enough it becomes the truth in the minds of the braindead listeners. Its indoctrination of the public to demonize somebody or a group of people, or a country, who could become dangerous for the empire\u2019s vicious and criminal endeavors. That\u2019s what they are doing with Julian Assange. Exactly the same principal is applied, though on a different scale, against President Putin and against Russia and China. And it seems to work in a brainwashed-to-the-core, western society, ran by their spineless European US-vassalic leadership.<\/p>\n

Yes, what is happening to Julian Assange could happen to any journalist who reveals the inconvenient truth about the empire and its minions\u2019 criminal machinations, any journalist \u2013 or non-journalist, whistleblower, for that matter \u2013 anyone who dares standing up to the AngloZionist atrocities may end up in Guantanamo or Belmarsh which is considered a Type A prison for adult men, meaning, a \u201cserious\u201d prison, where \u201cdangerous\u201d detainees are held for as long as Her Majesty\u2019s Prison Service considers necessary, and prisoners treatments are held secret and include torture.<\/p>\n

Julian Assange\u2019s case goes even farther than breaking all the rules of \u201cdemocratic\u201d free speech. The way he is treated is a serious infraction on Human Rights. The US and British governments intend to silence and punish a champion of free speech, torturing him for the world to see, and especially as a deterrent for would-be whistleblowers and other free-speech advocates.<\/p>\n

Julian Assange has been condemned to a \u2018temporary\u2019 prison sentence of 50 weeks for jumping bail, when he sought and was granted refuge in 2012 in the Ecuadorian Embassy. And why did he jump bail? Because he was about to be extradited to neofascist Sweden, who acting in the name of Washington, accused him with phony rape and sexual misconduct charges, from where he would have most likely been extradited to the US \u2013 where he might have faced a kangaroo court and a fake trial with possible death sentence, or indefinite incarceration at Guantanamo.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why he jumped bail and why he escaped to the Ecuadorian Embassy, because western injustice was already then played out with false propaganda, for everyone, but the blind and indoctrinated, to see. Rafael Correa, then President of Ecuador, saw the truth behind it all and granted Julian asylum, and later gave him Ecuadorian citizenship \u2013 which in 2018 was revoked by Correa\u2019s traitor and fascist successor, US-implant, Lenin Moreno, who, as a reward, it is said, got an IMF loan of US$ 4.2 billion to help the government carry out its neoliberal economic reform program, meaning undoing much of the social programs of improving economic equality for the Ecuadorian population, implemented during the Correa presidency.<\/p>\n

Well, how sick can that be? \u2013 Unfortunately, acting pathologically or even psychopathically in today\u2019s world is fully accepted. It\u2019s the new normal. This means, we are living in\u00a0an almost-terminally\u00a0ill, corrupt and utterly brainwashed society \u2013 to be precise, western society. \u201cAlmost-terminally\u201d means that there is only dim hope of healing for the utter lack of conscientiousness of western society. Hope of western people\u2019s awakening is fading, as it is sliding ever deeper into a bottomless abyss.<\/p>\n

Julian Assange was first accused by Washington of fake charges of computer hacking and conspiring to defraud the United States. In fact, what this is all about is the 2010 publication by Wikileaks of the infamous video that circulated the world a million times, depicting the purposeful, malicious \u2018collateral killing\u2019 of harmless civilians by the crew of a US Army helicopter \u2013 and of other data of atrocious acts of the US military revealed by Chelsea Manning, and published by Wikileaks. Chelsea Manning has been and is herself serving prison sentences.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that this little video has been seen around the world probably by more than a billion people, nobody went on the barricades \u2013 on an endless mass-demonstration \u2013 to stop the rogue-state and killing machine United States of America from committing its daily and deadly crimes. Nobody. And the killing goes on. And Washington is doing its utmost to silence every future revealing of their atrocities, by silencing Julian Assange, and intimidating any potential future truth-revealer.<\/p>\n

They have now 50 weeks, while he is hidden away in a British Guantanamo-like prison, to slowly kill him on behalf of and as a little favor to Washington, so he doesn\u2019t have to be extradited and the US is spared being exposed to the kangaroo trial that Julian would otherwise receive. If he dies a \u201cnatural\u201d death in a British prison, Trump may wash his bloody hands in innocence, and those in Congress who want to send a CIA squadron to murder Assange \u2013 I kid you not they are not ashamed to openly say so \u2013 will also be able to whitewash their criminal and bloody minds. Nobody will ever know what really happened behind Her Majesty\u2019s prison walls.\u00a0 \u2013 There will be some flareups in the media \u2013 and then all quiets down. As usual. The Wikileaks founder will be gone \u2013 and all potential whistleblowers and truth-seeking journalists will be on their guard. Objective achieved.<\/p>\n

In the meantime and to reach that objective, Julian is most likely being tortured, possibly physically and psychologically.\u00a0\u00a0Julian Assange has suffered \u201cprolonged exposure to psychological torture\u201d, the UN\u2019s torture expert, Nils Melzer, said in a BBC interview, and urged Britain not to extradite Assange to Washington.\u00a0According to\u00a0retired USAF lieutenant colonel\u00a0Karen Kwiatkowski, he may have been doped\u00a0with psychotropic drugs, like\u00a03-quinuclidinyl benzilate, known as BZ that produces hallucinations, mental confusion and memory loss. This may have been the reason, why he was unable to speak clearly, and to participate in a Swedish Court hearing \u2013 and had to be transferred to the hospital wing of Her Majesty\u2019s Belmarsh prison. One of the few pictures that emerged at the time of his transfer to the hospital was one of a zombie.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just hope that I\u2018m totally wrong with this scenario \u2013 and that people\u2019s pressure (at this point it would be a miracle) will prey Julian loose from the lethal fangs of the empire and its minions.<\/p>\n

The Western world keeps looking on \u2013 worse, they even support Her Majesty\u2019s Prison Service, to which Julian Assange is subjected. They largely applauded the brutal British arrest of Julian Assange, when the police dragged him out of the Ecuadorian Embassy into a van and off to preventive custody, and hours later he was convicted to 50 weeks on a phony charge for jumping bail.<\/p>\n

What can be said \u2013 is not better said than by Paul Craig Roberts,<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the world stands for the US \/ UK \/ Swedish judicial murder of an innocent man, the world does not deserve to exist another second.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013\u00a0<\/em>Amen.
