Assange is Home!

Following the almost unbelievable release from prison of Julian Assange, I'm pleased to say that the whistleblower and journalist has arrived back in his homeland of Australia. He has not set foot there for at least twelve years, having spent all that time in England, incarcerated at the embassy of Ecuador and then later at HMP Belmarsh. After landing on Saipan island he was taken straight to the courthouse where he confirmed his name. The hearing lasted until midday during which his legal situation was described to him in detail and he pleaded guilty to one count of violating the Espionage Act Section 793. He must have been assured by his lawyers that this would work and the hearing was only a formality because the celebrations began as soon as he left Belmarsh jail; but it must have been a relief to have it in black and white. He was sentenced to five years in prison, but that is more than he has already spent on remand so he was released immediately without bond. He then immediately returned to the airport and flew to Canberra, Australia where there was an emotional reunion with his family. There was later a press conference where his legal team spoke. Julian didn't; he wasn't able to emotionally, apparently, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XATYVc6upMY. It's understandable. He has not seen his wife, children or father outside a prison visiting room or in his flat at the embassy for so long; in the case of Stella and his children, ever. He has never taken his five and seven year old sons for a walk on the beach, or two the school sports day, or to a funfair. I do hope he and his loved ones can now rebuild their lives and that no other journalist will be punished in such a way. I don't judge Julian for doing this plea bargain with the government that has been hounding him. What would I have done in his situation?
 
Obviously I don't share the viewpoints of many others in the Conspirasphere that Julian Assange is a total psyop. The most extreme of these must be "Tupacabra" whom I discussed in the livestream last night. You'll be relieved to know I definitely don't think Julian is a clone! There are other more reasonable voices who still maintain suspicious minds when it comes to the Assange phenomenon. Thomas Sheridan, somebody I know well and like, has written a short article asking if Assange is the real Emanuel Goldstein. This refers to an unseen character in George Orwell's 1984 who fought in the revolution alongside Big Brother and then became a traitor. It is suggested throughout the novel that Goldstein is a political phantom, a fake person invented to focus the hatred of the people and therefore encourage their love of Big Brother. Thomas asks why Assange has not been eliminated by the state if he is their real enemy; after all, they have so many ways and means of killing people from a distance or up close. They had no problem with Alexander Litvinenko did they? A valid question. Maybe it's because the state no longer consists of antagonists unified behind a single purpose; the white hats might be powerful enough to protect Assange. Also possibly they didn't want the fallout from a possible "dead man's trigger". If Assange had died who knows what his supporters might have released. I wouldn't blame him for doing that in his position. Thomas' second point is to ask: what good has Wikileaks been? They've released a lot about bad things being done in wartime, but that's not surprising really. How about 9/11? The UFO's? And "fake lockdowns, human organ harvesting, politicians trafficking children, secret space programs... genetic experiments on everyone?" Another good point. Other researchers have uncovered such information; surely Wikileaks knows something about it too. Why have they not published anything? That could be because Thomas is right, but it might also be part of Julian's little insurance policy. If so then I hope now he is free his organization will say more. If it doesn't then it does beg the question. What kind of relationship do they have with the government they are supposedly trying to expose? Source: https://thomassheridan.substack.com/p/julian-assange-the-real-life-emmanuel. I address those questions in more detail in the background links below. The war against reporters goes on. Other people have been targeted for persecution, like Richard D Hall, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/06/rdh-in-court-appeal-rejected.html. If we are all talking nonsense and should just be laughed at, why don't they simply laugh at us and leave us alone? These actions against independent journalists are as good as a confession, in my view. Julian Assange was meant to be a warning to others, a slave crucified along the road to Rome like Spartacus. I only hope Julian's freedom will lead to more people in his position being left alone as well.
