Ep. 76 As they lecture us endlessly about human rights in other countries, the Biden administration is trying to kill journalist Julian Assange for the crime of embarrassing the CIA. His wife Stella joins us from his extradition hearing.

It is with great sadness the family of John Pilger announce he died yesterday 30 December 2023 in London aged 84. His journalism and documentaries were celebrated around the world, but to his family he was simply the most amazing and loved Dad, Grandad and partner. Rest In Peace.
Julian is turning 52 tomorrow, Monday July 3rd. His fifth birthday in Belmarsh prison.
On his second birthday in Belmarsh in 2020 the kids and I baked Australian lamingtons and filmed this video for him, which he has not seen to this day.
Julian was 39 when he was imprisoned in 2010, 8 days after

It's 2021. Julian hasn't been free since that day 10+ years ago.
He won the extradition case but he's still in prison. He's not serving a sentence. He must be released.

Today Julian stood up.
He said: "I refuse to allow the censorship of a victim of torture in this court".
The victim of US torture was el-Masri. The US wanted to remove parts of his statement.
This is Julian. Defending the voice of victims even as he is confined to a glass box.

Each day Julian is woken at 5am, handcuffed, put in holding cells, stripped naked and x-rayed. He's transported 1.5h each way in what feels like a vertical coffin in a claustrophobic van. He's in a glass box at the back of court from where he can't consult his lawyers properly.
Today I'm launching a crowdjustice campaign to free Julian.
Our children need their father back. Please help me make that happen.

Just heard from Julian. It's freezing in his cell. The hot water pipe system in Belmarsh prison broke. He says it's "getting really, really cold".

US must drop this case, now.

I spoke to Julian just now. For the past week his section of the prison has had no heating. Julian is trying to insulate his cell by boarding up the opaque 'window' (which has bars) with books people have sent in as gifts. But it's cold and he's cold.
You form part of the largest bullshit detecting machine the world has ever seen.
That is why Julian Assange has such support from the informed internet generation.
