Report on Picket of Julian Assange Extradition Hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice

FREE JULIAN ASSANGE - GAOL THE WAR CRIMINALS


There is Only One Decision – No Extradition chanted the crowd and the Judge in the crowd.  However extradition is a real possibility unfortunately. There was a crowd of a few hundred.  I noticed that there were no members of the usual left groups like the Socialist Workers Party present. I guess there were no recruits in it.

There were also no Labour MPs present – no Jeremy Corbyn, no John McDonnell – indeed none of the spineless Socialist Campaign Group. There was no Labour Party presence, no Momentum but there were still activists who care about freedom of the press and lots of journalists though what makes it into the press remains to be seen.

In the picture above, the man with the peaked cap is 84 year old  Stephen Kapos, a survivor of the Budapest Ghetto that the Hungarian Nazis, the Arrow Cross/Nyilas set up in November 1944. Stephen is a holocaust survivor  as well as being a member of Camden Momentum.

Stephen must be a tempting choice for Herr Sturmer to expel from the Labour Party.  Not only is he Jewish but he got away from the death camps.  Herr Sturmer hopes to succeed where the Nazis failed.

Credit must go to Chris Williamson who did attend the picket, travelling down early from Derby at some expense.  Julian’s father John Shipton was also there.

We have seen how the Guardian, having benefitted from Julian’s work abandoned him and yellow gutter journalists like Luke Harding deliberately lied about him.

Anyway here is a video of the proceedings and some photos.

  1. I'm fairly sure Jukian will ultimately not survive this, while Mike 'potatohead' Pompeo sleeps easy in a kingsize bed. Pity I'm not religious or I could wish him to hell.

    Special shame on da Grauniad of course...

    1. Yes, how can those Graun hacks sleep at night? Perhaps because they're not that different from Pompeo.

    3. No doubt the Graunians have been 'leant' on by UK GOV and/or CIA...

  2. Craig Murray would have been there, but he's been locked up by Her Monstrosity Nicola Sturgeon.

    1. Hmmm... I like Murray but I think he made a foolish mistake there...

    2. Explain, assuming you understand that he did NOT provide clues to the accusers' identities, and that - of course - AS was found not guilty on all counts by a predominantly female jury. Of course CM wasn't given a jury trial.

  3. I think it'll be rather interesting to see how the
    'liberal' media deal with Assange when he's finally released back into society. I mean it'll be difficult to maintain the current virtual media 'blackout' and pretend that Assange doesn't even really exist, once he's free to speak without restraint. How 'broken' is Julian Assange by this long and vicious ordeal? Will he be forced to 'look over his shoulder' waiting to be kidnapped, or worse, by a CIA hit-squad for the rest of his life? What country will he be safe in, knowing that Washington has put a 'target' on his back? That the established 'left' in the UK has completely abandoned him, the country's most famous political prisoner; is a disgrace and shows them to be loyal tools of the British State.

  5. It was Keir Starmer, champion of "Human Rights", that enabled and began the persecution of Julian Assange.
