Free Assange

Last week, rallies in support of Julian Assange were held around the world. We participated in two #AssangeUnity events seeking to #FreeAssange in Washington, DC. This is the beginning of a new phase of the campaign to stop the persecution of Julian Assange and allow him to leave the Ecuadorian Embassy in London without the threat of being arrested in the UK or facing prosecution by the United States.

Part 4 - Time To Stop The Persecution Of Julian Assange

The smearing of Assange sought to discredit him and undermine the important journalism of WikiLeaks. Caitlin Johnstone writes that they smear him because “they can kill all sympathy for him and his outlet, it’s as good for their agendas as actually killing him.”

Even with this character assassination many people still support Assange. This was seen during the #Unity4J online vigil, which saw the participation of activists, journalists, whistleblowers andn filmmakers calling for the end of Assange’s solitary confinement and his release. This was followed a week later by 20 protests around the world calling for Assange’s release.

Julian Assange has opened journalism’s democracy door; the power to report is being redistributed, government employees and corporate whistleblowers have been empowered and greater transparency is becoming a reality.

The people of the United States should demand that Assange not face prosecution and embrace a 21st Century democratized media that provides greater transparency and accurate information about what government and business interests are doing. Prosecuting a news organization for publishing the truth, should be rejected and Assange should be freed.

You can support Julian Assange by spreading the word in your communities about what is happening to him and why. You can also show support for him on social media. We will continue to let you know when there are actions planned. And you can support the WikiLeaks Legal Defense Fund, run by the Courage Foundation*, at IamWikiLeaks.org.

Όσοι περνάν των χώρα της απόγνωσης παθαίνουν αμνησία ...

globinfo freexchange Δανειστήκαμε αυτή τη φράση από ένα παλιό κομμάτι της Ελληνικής ροκ μπάντας "Τρύπες", για να περιγράψουμε με λίγα λόγια αυτό που φαίνεται να έχει πάθει η Ελληνική κοινωνία.  Πώς είναι δυνατόν μια ολόκληρη κοινωνία να έχει ξεχάσει ποιοι τη χρεοκόπησαν; Ποιοι έστησαν το άθλιο σύστημα των κρατικοδίαιτων 'ημέτερων' και της οικογενειοκρατίας; Ποιοι έσωσαν τις τράπεζες με πακτωλό δισεκατομμυρίων σε βάρος της μεσαίας τάξης; Ποιοι έκαναν τη μίζα και το ρουσφέτι επάγγελμα; Πώς είναι δυνατόν αυτή η κοινωνία να ετοιμάζεται να ξαναφέρει στην εξουσία ένα κομμάτι αυτού του άθλιου πολιτικού κατεστημένου, με την επιστροφή μάλιστα του αμετανόητα νεοφιλελεύθερου Κυριάκου Μητσοτάκη και της ομάδας του;   Η απόγνωση που έφεραν εννέα χρόνια βάρβαρων νεοφιλελεύθερων πολιτικών και σκληρής λιτότητας και που ανάγκασε τη χώρα να διαβεί τον εφιαλτικό μονόδρομο της μόνιμης χρεοκοπίας, πρέπει να έπαιξε σημαντικό ρόλο.  Διότι ως γνωστόν, η απελπισία...

EU Is Finished & China Can Now Pull the Plug on the U.S. Economy

Glenn Diesen Yanis Varoufakis is an economist, the former Finance Minister of Greece, and the author of numerous bestselling books. Varoufakis discusses how the EU is a cartel designed by the U.S. that is no longer fit for purpose. The German economic locomotive has broken down; the EU no longer has an economic model, its foreign policy is consumed by war, and it has already become a technological colony. Varoufakis also argues that China can now pull the plug on the U.S. economy if it chooses to do so.

Σε επανάληψη το έργο «η Άγκυρα είναι εκνευρισμένη» από το μιντιακό τσίρκο Μητσοτάκη

globinfo freexchange Το Μητσοτακικό μιντιακό τσίρκο παίζει για άλλη μια φορά το έργο «η Άγκυρα είναι εκνευρισμένη» με την συμμαχία Ελλάδας-Ισραήλ. Φυσικά, οι μιντιακοί καθεστωτικοί παπαγάλοι δεν θα σας πουν ποτέ ότι ο Νετανιάχου είναι εγκληματίας πολέμου με βάση την απόφαση του διεθνούς ποινικού δικαστηρίου, ότι το Ισραήλ στην τελευταία σύνοδο του ΟΗΕ ήταν περισσότερο απομονωμένο από ποτέ, ότι η υποστήριξη των Αμερικανών ψηφοφόρων προς το Ισραήλ έχει κυριολεκτικά κατακρημνιστεί και συνεχίζει την κατιούσα με βάση τελευταίες δημοσκοπήσεις και ότι οι διαδηλώσεις και εκδηλώσεις ενάντια στο Ισραηλινό κράτος-τρομοκράτη, εντός και εκτός Δύσης, είναι καθημερινό φαινόμενο. Οι μιντιακοί Γκέμπελς προσπαθούν απεγνωσμένα να δημιουργήσουν κλίμα υπέρ του Μητσοτάκη, αντιστρέφοντας την πραγματικότητα, καθώς βλέπουν ότι, ακόμα και στις στημένες δημοσκοπήσεις, τα ποσοστά της ΝΔ απέχουν παρασάγγας από την αυτοδυναμία. Πράγμα που σημαίνει ότι το διεφθαρμένο κόμμα Μητσοτάκη ενδεχομένως να μην αγγίζει ούτε κ...

Maggie's ghost: What is haunting Europe

by system failure "A ghost is haunting Europe — the ghost of Communism", Marx wrote in the Communist Manifesto, in 1847. He couldn't probably predict that the ghost above Europe in 2013, would have been totally different. Thatcher's dogmatic faith in free market, in minimizing state's presence, was a basic characteristic of her political perception. One could wonder, why the "Iron Lady" silenced in front of the facts during last decade, especially after the global economic crisis. Is it because of her age? Was she believed in the routine motto that "this is just a capitalism's cycle and will recover soon"? Or is it because she finally understood, rather late, that this was not an ideal model of the free market, but the prevail of a peculiar bank-debtocracy? Margaret Thatcher, is a characteristic case of a politician, who's fanatic faith in a specific perception, wouldn't let her see the real picture, what was this per...

Ben Gvir, Smotrich TRAPPED In Britain? Israel in PANIC after UK STUNS World

OPTM The United Kingdom has just dropped a political bombshell that has sent shockwaves through the occupation regime. In an unprecedented move, Britain—alongside France, Canada, and nine other nations—has banned all trade in goods produced in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband accused settler terrorists of carrying out ethnic cleansing, declaring that the UK would ban imports of all settlement goods and restrict services including financing and construction. The reaction from the occupation's far-right ministers has been nothing short of hysterical. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for the immediate expulsion of the British ambassador, while National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir—in a fit of delusional whataboutism—demanded that the occupation government recognize Argentine sovereignty over the Falkland Islands and impose sanctions on Britain. Ben Gvir and Smotrich are trapped, and they know it. This is the colonial master fina...
