Chris Hedges:

"The fatal flaw of the case against Julian is that he did not commit a crime. He exposed the crimes of others. Those who ordered and carried out these crimes are determined, no matter how they have to deform the British and U.S. legal systems, to make him pay."

And the clear war crimes and other crimes Mr Assange exposed? They were never even investigated, in spite of the overwhelming evidence.

Kangaroo court indeed.

Good luck, Julian, our hearts are breaking for you.

The empire is not going to investigate itself, including its own war crimes. We need to bring down the empire.

Scapegoat, whipping boy, put him through hell. Damn the system that perpetrates this criminality against truth tellers.

I want to make sure that while I am bitterly angry at the state of affairs that exists worldwide, I do not and never will promote retribution or retaliation of any type, because we have learned that it does not work. Faith and Commitment to one's inner self and our creator, while promoting love, compassion, understanding, and knowledge as the means of eradicating this ignorance is the preferred path. It remains positive, and does not fall prey to entanglements with evil.

Well yes. Post-apartheid South Africa showed the world that truth & reconciliation works, while vengeance and retribution do not.

The British and U.S. legal systems were deformed long long ago. What is happening to Julian is not the exception. All one has to do is expose the crimes of those in power to find out, as these extraordinarily brave brothers and sisters have done for us all.
