An interview that deserves a wider hearing:

John Pilger: Julian Assange’s extradition case is a SHOW TRIAL! (E807)

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to legendary journalist and filmmaker John Pilger about Julian Assange’s latest extradition hearing on Monday, which he attended

Pilger has written some very important work in his time . This is not one of those pieces . Indeed , writing for the mouthpiece of the Putin regime pretty much destroys any remaining credibility.

Mr Assange did more to ensure Trump's victory than any other single person.
John Pilger used to be a journalist who campaigned for the Left - now he's become yet another villain paid by RT to promote the far right views of Putin and Trump.

Julian Assange: the wedge that created a divide among Trump loyalists

The far right see him as a persecuted hero while conservatives portray him as a Kremlin accomplice

One forgives Assange because he seems to have a form of autism, but it is harder to forgive his supporters.

On Assange's side in this one at least...perhaps a man more sinned against than sinning?

I hope his little Cat got looked after eventually though....

Here's the lowdown.... seems OK now.....like the little Schrödinger's joke at the end....

Julian Assange’s cat is safe — but we had some theories about its fate

Hopefully, it’s with family or maybe in hiding.

What you won't hear in the mainstream media:

John Pilger: Assange’s only crimes are telling the truth & making war criminals look in the mirror! (E929)

https://www.rt.com/shows/going-underground/502339-pilger-assange-extradition-us/

Legendary journalist and filmmaker John Pilger discusses the extradition trial of Julian Assange being held at the Old Bailey in London, the war crimes Julian Assange uncovered, why the US wants to persecute him, key statements delivered in court by witnesses that may help the WikiLeaks founder, allegations of bias against Judge Baraitser, the grueling schedule Assange has to go through for court hearings, the likelihood of Assange committing suicide if he is jailed in a supermax prison, which John Pilger describes as a ‘clean hell’, the role of mainstream media outlets such as the Guardian in facilitating his persecution, and more

I could have posted this on the 'Good News' thread.

Julian Assange cannot be extradited to US, British judge rules

Judge says it would be ‘oppressive’ to extradite WikiLeaks founder to US, citing concerns for his mental health

Yes, very good news - another victory for true democracy and compassion over the present, terrible government (who have behaved appallingly throughout this case)....but still awaiting further developments here, so.....
