In a
recent communication between Randy Credico, an Assange supporter,
comic and radio producer, and Adam Schiff, the ranking member on the
House Judiciary Committee, Assange’s fear of arrest and extradition
to the US was confirmed by the leader of the Russia-gate frenzy.
Credico
received the following response from Schiff after meeting the the
Congressman’s staff, in which Credico was trying to connect Assange
with Schiff: “Our committee would be willing to interview Assange
when he is in U.S. Custody and not before.”
Dennis
Bernstein spoke with John Pilger, a close friend and supporter of
Assange on May 29. The interview began with the statement Bernstein
delivered for Pilger at the Left Forum last weekend in New York on a
panel devoted to Assange entitled, “Russia-gate and WikiLeaks”.
Pilger’s
Statement
There
is a silence among many who call themselves left. The silence is
Julian Assange. As every false accusation has fallen away, every
bogus smear shown to be the work of political enemies, Julian stands
vindicated as one who has exposed a system that threatens humanity.
The Collateral Damage video, the war logs of Afghanistan and Iraq,
the Cablegate revelations, the Venezuela revelations, the Podesta
email revelations … these are just a few of the storms of raw truth
that have blown through the capitals of rapacious power. The fakery
of Russia-gate, the collusion of a corrupt media and the shame of a
legal system that pursues truth-tellers have not been able to hold
back the raw truth of WikiLeaks revelations. They have not won, not
yet, and they have not destroyed the man. Only the silence of good
people will allow them to win. Julian Assange has never been more
isolated. He needs your support and your voice. Now more than ever is
the time to demand justice and free speech for Julian. Thank you.
