The 'Julian Assange' index: another evidence that Elizabeth Warren is establishment's last resort

 globinfo freexchange

We should be grateful to Julian Assange and WikiLeaks for uncovering the ruthless and ugly face of the establishment. For the exposure of the biggest war crimes by the US empire in the Iraq war. For the exposure of the dirty war by the DNC against Bernie Sanders, and many more.

But even now, being in this extremely hard situation because of the absolutely inhuman treatment by this imperialistic crypto-fascist regime, Assange remarkably becomes the cause that forces more masks to fall.

Therefore, the 'Julian Assange' index can even help us identify the real and the fake progressives.

As The Intercept reported:

The Justice Department filed 17 charges against WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange on Thursday, deploying the controversial Espionage Act as a cudgel against First Amendment protections and press freedom. It’s the first time the U.S. government has used the Espionage Act to prosecute a publisher, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

[...]

Let me be clear: it is a disturbing attack on the First Amendment for the Trump administration to decide who is or is not a reporter for the purposes of a criminal prosecution,” [Bernie] Sanders wrote in a tweet Friday afternoon after The Intercept contacted his office for comment. “Donald Trump must obey the Constitution, which protects the publication of news about our government.

[Elizabeth] Warren distanced herself from Assange but condemned the Justice Department’s move to curtail press freedom. “Assange is a bad actor who has harmed U.S. national security — and he should be held accountable,” Warren said in a statement. “But Trump should not be using this case as a pretext to wage war on the First Amendment and go after the free press who hold the powerful accountable everyday.

Essentially, Warren did not just "distanced herself" from Julian Assange. She made a totally unacceptable statement on him. And it is actually quite shocking because the phrase “Assange is a bad actor who has harmed U.S. national security — and he should be held accountable,” is something we should expect to come out from a neocon/neoliberal mouth, not from the mouth of a real progressive.

What's perhaps even more disturbing, is that Warren's whole statement fits perfectly the narrative propagated by the golden mouthpieces of the liberal media. They don't consider Assange a journalist, yet they condemn Trump's war on First Amendment only because they fear that he may go after them too.

As we wrote recently, the last option - and apparently more risky for the establishment - is Elizabeth Warren, who stands somewhere inside the 'Twilight Zone' between the real progressives and the corporate Democrats. We also wrote that Elizabeth Warren is considered to be closer to the establishment positions and therefore could be 'handled' easier.

Therefore, such statements by Warren justify the above estimations.

So, here is another evidence that Elizabeth Warren is establishment's last resort, in case that Kamala Harris, or Joe Biden will fail to stop the real progressives, like Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard.

    Lizzy Warren isn't much different from the cretin she endorsed in 2016; she is only good for the showmanship of going after bankers on the banking committee; it makes for good sound bytes, but you'll notice things she has proposed aren't all that effective. Endorsing HRC was the last straw. Doing a DNA test minus a documented genealogy put my opinion of Lizzy in the minus zero category; family legends minus a documented genealogy do not a family history make (I've been doing genealogy research for 55 years and have both proved and disproved family legends and I know the limits of what can be determined with a DNA test; I know what I'm talking about).

    I won't vote for Lizzy Warren.

    Elizabeth Warren is a faux-gressive. She does not inhabit a "twilight zone" between real progressives and corporate democrats. She's in the tank with the Establishment and always has been. Her political activities are self-serving and her public & private positions are as disingenuous as her dear friend Hillary's. I won't be voting for her either.

F-35s & AI Chips: How MBS Outplayed Washington & Beijing

GVS Deep Dive  Saudi Arabia just secured two of the most powerful assets in modern geopolitics: the U.S. F-35 stealth fighter and tens of thousands of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips. Washington hoped this would pull Riyadh firmly back into the American orbit. But the outcome is something neither side fully expected: Mohammad bin Salman outplayed both Washington and Beijing — and used the great-power rivalry to his advantage.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide. 

Varoufakis: IT technologies will overthrow Capitalism

globinfo freexchange The former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, ended his recent speech on the Future of Capitalism, at the New School, New York, with some interesting remarks. As he said: The world we live in, is increasingly rudderless, in a constant slow burning recession, while at the very same time, the increasing concentration in the IT sector is creating the new technologies that will do that which the Left has failed to do: overthrow Capitalism. It is really very simple. The moment machines pass the Turing test properly, and you pick up the phone and you do not know whether the person you are talking to is a human being or a machine ˙ the moment we are going to have 3D printers operating as public utilities - you can send any blueprint to it and it can print from one pin to a motorcycle, or to a car - the moment that this happens, we have not just a process of Schumpeterian creative destruction, but we have a process where economies of sc...

Maduro's opening to China

“ Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday said he hopes Venezuela will use bilateral financing mechanisms and channel more funds to the areas of energy, mining, agriculture and industry while meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.” “ Financing mechanisms between the two countries total more than 50 billion U.S. dollars, according to Venezuelan experts.

Neoliberal establishment will attempt to take control of the evangelical electoral army using its most powerful asset for such an operation: Joe Biden

globinfo freexchange Here is another strong indication about the theory we support, according to which Trump, Brexit and other far-right governments in power, are primarily the product of a merciless civil war of the big capital. Politico 's article subtitle tells you almost everything you need to know: The president’s supporters worry Biden can grab a larger slice of a critical voting bloc — when Trump can least afford departures from his base. Let's take a look at some interesting parts [most important highlighted]: It was June 10, 2008. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama had gathered with dozens of evangelical leaders — many of them fixtures of the religious right — at the urging of campaign aides. If he could offer genuine glimpses of his own abiding faith, they insisted he could chisel away at the conservative Christian voting bloc. The strategy worked. Obama’s campaign stops at churches, sermon-like speeches and hi...

Mossad ‘in contact from very beginning’ with killers of Italian PM, reporter reveals

A roving reporter who covered Italy’s top politicians explains to The Grayzone how his country was reduced to a joint US-Israeli “aircraft carrier,” and raises troubling questions about an Israeli role in the killing of Prime Minister Aldo Moro.   by Kit Klarenberg and Wyatt Reed   Part 7 - Mossad continues Italian ops amid Gaza genocide   Today, there is little trace of any pro-Arab tendencies in mainstream Italian politics. According to Salerno, the US and Israel no longer have any need to “destabilize Italy” as the country is economically “weak.” Rome’s government now is for all intents and purposes “a continuation, even an extension, of the old fascist regime,” he says, adding, “there are people in the government that have statues of Mussolini in their houses.” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has made clear she harbors little sympathy for the Palestinians, and little intention of recognizing a Palestinian state – even after it was revealed in November 2024 the Mossad ha...
