Why Julian Assange’s case matters 

Thank you for this great documentary. I have always supported Assange. He is a hero. Why can't free people see that?

More like this please… 🙏🏻

@Johnnyharris overall this highly viewed video was a successful message to inform people of the urgency in protecting our sacred First Amendment rights! Your video shows that the Biden administration chooses to continue appealing the ASSANGE case even though US press freedom is at stake, particularly investigative journalism. So, you transparently mention that you are not promoting Julian Assange's personality here but the implications of this historic case, which is agreed upon by many. However, I ask you why you FAIL to list the facts of the multiple global awards Assange has won for his journalism and the license he has as an Australian Journalist versus decades ago as a hacker. Why do you leave this out? Are you afraid you might expose the positive points of his personality such as courageous, anti war, anti corruption, truth teller, highly intelligent? I also support recommending the documentary 'Risk' but highly reject the listed mention of,'We Steal Secrets' by Alex Gibney as this video claiming to be a documentary has an abundant amount of propaganda meant to defame Assange. This so called documentary is made available to stream right before there are any new developments in Assange's case and should be considered government propaganda not a fact based documentary. Wikileaks has warned viewers of this type of mainstream media's propaganda push and urges viewers to seek out other more fact based films recommended by the site AssangeDefense.org. So, my question to you is why disconnect from the historic relevance of this case the heroic and personal sacrifices made by Assange, the person?!

Why . Assange is a hero! ❤😊

@@lourdesdelapena1852 Yes he is. He exposed evil and the evil would like him dead for it.

if you are being hunted for committing a crime then you are a criminal. only criminals run. there is a right way to go about allegedly exposing and shortcuts should not the option.

@@jasonargonaught8744 nah, when faced with a corrupt government there is no legal way to stop it. Because the government will make it illegal. How do you think Edward Snowden should have done what he did without committing a crime ? There is no way

I liked Snowden all the way until he ended up in Moscow

@@jasonargonaught8744 Although I agree with the second part of your statement I think the idea that "Only criminals run" is an illicit if not cynical generalization. Millions of jews ran during the Nazi reign, and they were (of course) not criminals. The Nazis criminalized them for political purposes.

Usually that is a good metric, but it could also be an indication that someone is an enemy to the very nation itself. (I don't mean that to sound overly dramatic) Not speaking of Assange here, but more so your observation. An antithesis isn't by its nature always positive.

I don't think they want to be heroes. They want their actions to have an effect on how governments operate on the public domain and hold them accountable for their actions. We're literally letting US Military kill innocent lives without any consequences just because they allegedly "thought" that the group of people are holding weapons. Not just any innocent lives, but children included. Look what happened after the documents are released, STILL no consequences to the government and Assange got branded as a traitor who is currently being tortured for doing what the government should've done.

​@@Name-lt2tzI call bs on that

Well said, Brother 👍❤️

Where have you been, love? Hedges, Greenwald and the whole of lefty media have been talking about Assange for YEARS. You did know he got married to his girlfriend in jail, right? And that the Brits didn't let anyone attend the ceremony and made everyone wait outside and shortly afterwards, approved extradition to the USA. This all happened this year.

I'm curious to know what's musk stand regarding Assange

Musk's free speech is bull compared to Assange. Assange would allow anyone's opinion to be heard. Elon allows any opinion that doesn't damage him to be heard.

In my opinion all you need to know is that Assange was paid by Vladimir Putin to influence our election.

Actually what you need to know is that Assange gave us Trump. Your statement does not make much sense. By the way who has been financing Assange?

It shows those trials have nothing to do with fairness. It‘s about „teaching lessons“ to the public (and perhaps private retialiation as well). Many state employees know secrets but if you let the world know their dirty secret, then it‘s over for anyone who dares to do so.

Pretty sure they're not charging him with treason though.

The only ones not subject to US laws are our Senators and Representatives!

One world order is the UN so pretty much yes the us acts/ thinks they own the world

The proposition that you need to be a citizen in order to be under US law is pretty insane. If I'm not a citizen, I can now go to the US. kill a man, and US court cannot charge me with murder?

Good point. Maybe it has something to do with Australia technically being an ally (I assume they are)?

@Najo: Please remember to add the author of the quote: Quote by George R.R. Martin

@@HS-ml8dx The amount of times I saw R.R. Martin for that specific quote is enough consensus to determine its correctness. You can easily spend time looking into it yourself. No one is asking you to take my word for it. This was what I arrived at after looking into the matter. In my research, I only came across Tyrion Lannister, a character of 'Game of Thrones, being the person to use this quote.' However, this does not make him the author as it appeared far less in comparison to J.J Martin. It's all I mostly do is research things for years and I just like to see people be respectful and include the originator for the quotes used. Hope this helps.

@@HS-ml8dx Nope, I was not offended dear friend. I like explaining matters so that I don't create any misunderstanding or give incorrect information. There are far more trolls than people who are honest and sincere in wanting to know things of interest. And yes, it is a simple quote and one of common sense. Truth is always harsh and brutal. Yet, it is necessary for it to be so. May I also suggest you look into this as well. The reason being is so that you can determine its validity rather than to count on someone else's investigation. This would place you in a more responsible position. Happy quoting dear friend.

Australia isn't that strong guys

As an Australian: The first Best thing you could do is wake the f**k up and understand that being a country, being a member of the FVEY doesn't exactly accord you the privileges of being a big boy. Or for that matter, even sending its boots on the ground for the sake of State terrorism. So, speaking of.. Quite like every frustrated person: Your Commonwealth regime could always pick on the weaker party to assure them of their _kaput_ power. Which reminds me: Did you already know that your elected partisans got the nAtIoNaL sEcuRitY deep State to invade your Aunty's( Australian pubcaster ABC®) HQs for finding the most-substantial investigation of atrocities in Afghānistān which like the "Collateral Murder" video here, just happened to be caught on-camera? *Edit Note:* Added punctuation, fixed the typo. Added some additional context around Oz State media.

Unfortunately the whole world is afraid of the USA.

Why should they protect a traitor?

remember, australia is five eyes, they dont do anything

Bingo!!’n

The crux of their (not mine) argument is that Assange would have been responsible for the deaths of honest Americans doing their job in Iraq because of the informations he published and made accessible to the enemy who located and shot them down. So it is a pursuit for murder complicity, basically. And even if you cause deaths while being in another country, you are guilty and subject to extradition, especially when in a country subject to the same system of law (anglo-saxon Common Law). The problem is that these Americans killed had no business being in Iraq and therefore cannot be called honest. But you cannot say that to Americans nowadays. Since they lost in Vietnam thanks in great part to their whistleblowers they will no longer tolerate the latter.

“Common Law” doesn't mean what you think it does. Besides, it's not the system in most of this one-&-only Planet's jurisdictions, anyways. What you're looking for is: Extraterritoriality of jurisdiction. And Uncle Sam really believes that he has the jurisdiction to enforce his own laws anywhere across this one-&-only Planet, and even beyond - Ms "@@MrMirville". And that's why, even in the unlikeliest cases of Free Market Capitalism: The FCPA which is initialism for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, meant to curb corruption-inducing practices of corporate Murica, was used to penalise Alstom very hard, followed by Ericsson few years later - as the latest-example. That was made possible by the change passed by Congress under the 1st Clinton administration. So when it's that recalcitrant for the Capitalists, you could only image how the outcomes of court-cases in matters of _libel_ could possibly play out. Hopefully I won't need to spell that part out. Nevermind Sir Assānge, who does not stand a chance against the greatest State terrorist in the world. #PaxAmericana

even if USA is an empire Australia is not under USA Rules or laws, nor is Australia part of USA "Empire".

@@superRobertoist Tbh nah, as an Australian I can pretty well say that while we might not be a literal puppet of the United States, they have significantly more influence over our country than anyone would like to admit, through both governmental and commercial channels. The most glaring example of this is as far back as the 70s when our PM Gough Whitlam got coup’d by the CIA for moving Australia’s foreign and domestic policy too far out of line with what the US wanted, like trying to pull us out of Vietnam, charging foreign (mostly US lol) mining companies more for selling our resources (since even to this day they’re pretty well robbing us blind), and apparently even threatening to close Pine Gap (a strategically vital intel asset operated by the CIA themselves near Alice Springs). That’s not a conspiracy theory by the way, just about everyone involved in Gough’s dismissal had proven links to the CIA, like the Governor-General himself was part of the ‘Congress for Cultural Freedom’ (read: proven CIA networking agency) and got name dropped by the CIA themselves multiple times as basically being “their man” in Australia. So yeah, we’re not doing too well sadly.

Not to be nitpicky but I do support the Exclusionary Rule of the Fourth Amendment, which states evidence can't be used if it was obtained illegally.

@@adanactnomew7085 are you for real?

@@adanactnomew7085 That only applies to the government. Private citizens obtaining evidence illegally can be used in court.

​@@adanactnomew7085 I dont believe thats exactly what it says, illegally obtained evidence is being used on daily basis, mostly by regular people but sometimes even if it was obtained by the state or the federal agency, and imo if the evidence is clear and its origin and authenticity is legit too then I think it should be even mandatory to use it if captures the truth and facts. I mean the idea behind it is good, when the evidence was unlawfully obtained by the state, as they should lead by an example, but if its the case the individual obtained the evidence and it shows objective truth and reality then it shouldnt be ever declined, maybe and what happens pretty often is that the individual is charged for obtaining the evidence unlawfully, but it gets accepted if it shows facts, thats pretty common in EU. If it isnt accepted tho, thats basically pretty much denying or ignoring the truth. From what I noticed that is quite a popular practice these days, people just love to lie to themselves or be ignorant to objective truth and facts.

Have you told this to Putin? Have you ever wondered why pseudo-hero Assange never did leaks on the Russian war criminal?

The definition of crime is pretty clear. The meaning is not and in the case of the USA, it's pretty corrupt. None of the many things Trump did during and after his tenure are by any meaningful standard crimes. Some might be technically hard to prove, but he obviously committed crimes. There is no way how you can abused power, erode institutions in charge of protecting the constitution, blackmail foreign statesmen for personal gain using the power of your office, redirect US military to your hotels, incite a violent coup attempt and so much more. He is still not indicted for any of these and all the crimes I did not mention. All of them were committed in plain sight, we know the factual basis of these accusation from media reporting and for the most part, these reported fact have not even been denied. If you pay with a fake $20 bill, you get publicly executed on the street by a police officer, if you commit treason, the real treason, you not only get away, you also have good chances to be re-elected to an office that makes you immune from prosecution. This is so disgusting, it hurts even thinking about it. This is not as you say a general problem. Power corrupts, but the state of corrupting in the USA is extreme. It's what one would expect in a banana republic or in Russia.

Making others suffer confirms that one has power.” ¶ here, the government is making the journalists suffer, to keep themselves in power. and it’s not only the us government, it’s every nation's government as a whole. for example, as we have witnessed recently, friendlyjodies’ house was lit on fire by the government, for he had revealed how corrupt it was. > “In fact, O'Brien argues that causing pain is the only real way to prove your power over another person." ¶ here, “person”s are other nations, over whom, the us is trying to establish or exhibit its dominance, by warning them of the consequences its revelation may have. > “The quote is cautionary. Orwell is trying to warn readers not to let any one group gain too much power.” ¶ here, you can inculcate within yourself the famous quote, “power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” an opposing force is always required to maintain the equilibrium of power. back then, it was the soviet union, which was keeping the us within its limits. now, it’s the united nations organisation, or china, or european nations, upon whom the us’ economy depends. > “He exhorts readers against believing rulers when they say terroristic or oppressive actions are for the common good. They never are.” ¶ needless to say, in this particular situation, the “ruler” is us. it’s oppressing the noble actions and says it’s for people’s good, as “it keeps intact the ’peace and security’ it has established among its states and other nations.” ¶ with that attitude of yours, i’m afraid one day we will all have to suffer equally, for even the wrongdoers will regret their actions.

@chubz01 Sickening, disgusting, heinous. Those same sadistic creeps become cops when they leave the military. That kind of training, BY OUR GOV'T, explains a lot: Inhumane, horrific brutality and the pleasure they derive from committing those acts against other people - at will, and without consequence.

The military finds any excuse to blame the victims

Those were obviously Americans shooting Iraqis this producer is a spook. Also the email leaks that exposed hillarys election fraud were never tied to Russia and he left out a bunch of other stuff because this video was made by SPOOK ADJACENT people

@@andrewmiller8695 it’s okay they can suffer with ptsd and Pill addictions

I though the same, I was like how can humans do this to other humans out of pleasure, that was so cruel, taking one's life away like it's a video game

own country? The collateral murder footage is of US troops.

I feel the same way, No other Country has brought anything down on our Country, but Trump gaveSECRETS TO Russia! Julian Assange should be FREED.

Amen

Trump can’t control the CIA. That’s one of the major problems. Assange humiliated the CIA and outed how badly we need to get rid of the CIA.

Kat mun, Amen

Assange will never be freed , he has done the unpardonable sin of letting the TRUTH be known about American politics.

Breaks my heart hearing and seeing this exact thing. USA is acting as the face of chivalry against Russia's invasion of Ukraine while they had so much blood of innocent people on their hands that they simply refuse to acknowledge and will punish anyone that exposes them further. An average American has NO IDEA about this or is simply ignoring it for their own good.

Absolutely heartbreaking quote. No remorse in his voice for having just slaughtered children.

That's our "American" "Heroes", our military, our government.

oh well when your entire mantra is "kill people who believe things other than me" hard to gain sympathy, especially when you had MFs like saddam literally putting people into meat grinders feet first, or rather his sons did... that whole part of the planet is a plague "REEE I NEED TO HAVE MY 10 WIVES AND MY CHILDREN ARE MY PROPERTY AND OH MY GOD YOU DOn'T BELIEVE IN MY PROPHET WITH HIS 10 14 YEAR OLD WIVES!?!?!?!?!? DIE INFIDEL PIG!!!!!" it's like.... yeah... no... the world doesn't need that kind of shit it's bad enough

@@TheDeatharcana calm down bud, every military has rotten apples. Some militaries exist out of mostly rotten apples. Right now the same can be said about the Russians of which it seems majority commit war crime after war crime, but even in their army there are people of good heart who are placed under a bad situation. Point is just because we see war crimes happen, horrible pictures and videos of soldiers doing fucked up things of which they should be held accountable, it is not the image of every soldier as all of them are their own person in how they handle the mess that they entered. There are soldiers who were friends of the community, gave food, water and items of worth to citizens nearby outposts and there are soldiers who blame the citizens for bringing a child to an active war scene.

He is not a journalist. "any journalist can be a criminal for their work alone" Journalists are not above the law, that much should be obvious but here we are.

@@DickCheneyXX I never said he was a journalist, it depends on the definition but it's really not relevant here. You *could* apply most of these charges to almost all serious journalists as well as Johny clearly states in this video. Yes in principle but the espionage act should definitely be up for discussion. A wartime decree on how to deal with spies over a hundred years ago can't be perfect. This one can and has been abused by the government to silence critics before.

He has already been incarcerated, he's not free to go where he wants. The USA and their European vassals have no credibility.

bro NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING, planet full of sheep

Anyone can be criminalized for their work. The problem is we let sh*t people into charge, because of some "tests" and slanderous libel whilst people who experienced and mastered the work didn't get into meritful position because of some tests that requires institutionalized language. I've seen teachers getting sanctione for keeping students at school overtime, despite this teacher is an actual counselor and the parents are abusive. Also other way around where parents are humiliated for not schooling childrens despite knowing the bullying they endured, as a parent and student. There are much more evil people in life, and we learnt it the hard way. The fastest way to spot them, is to see if they can hold responsibility and accountability. And in my latest experience is that 125 out of 183 subjects cheated the tests. The most evil one were the 17 people who didn't admit.

Respect to equador.

Respect from Europe too

and then the government changed with a flick of a finger and hes no longer there. i wouldnt have such strong opinions about a topic that can go 180 the next day.

Unless you actually worked in intelligence or held a clearance, you don’t know what Snowden truly did. If you think he’s a hero, you are very wrong. He did way more bad than good.

@@Attack_Pillow Im interested in your comment. What do you think was the worst outcome from what Snowden did?

I had always seen both as heroes. They both exposed so much wickedness.

Yep, the message is basically that the US has jurisdiction over ANY CITIZEN of ANY COUNTRY in the world, and they are claiming to have the right to have that person brought over to the US to be tried under US laws meant for US citizens, that were made by US lawmakers who were elected by only the 300 million people of the US.

The crime took place within US jurisdiction, even though he participated remotely.

@@fab006 His involvement in the crime, remote or otherwise is disputed, and the law has had to be stretched in an unprecedented way in order to charge him with the crimes he is being charged with.

@@fab006 No, it didn't.

Oz has nothing to do with the Ecuadorian Embassy in London... not sure what you mean that you're "apalled that we would allow a fellow Australian to be extradited to America"

This is your government's fault..Australia can not support his fellow innocent citizen..A country's main objective should be guard his citizen all over the world..

@@nomadtrails australian govt doesn't give a shit tho. OP is right.

Julian Assange is a political hot potato that no politician in Australia will touch. They go on pretending he isn't an Australian citizen and therefore none of their business. Even in mainstream media, it's very rare for them to highlight his citizenship.

@@nomadtrails because Julian Assange is Australian 🤦 He had to look for help with a different country because his own is a puppet for the us

Not even the US alone. The pigs brought in many other countries as well.

Hamzah Wareh The Shiite Iraqi's desperately wanted the US to overthrow Saddam , Why do you think they are buddies with Iran now ?

Yes. I am happy a serious journalist is talking about Julian Assange. My heart hurts how Assange is treated. And nobody cares about him. I know nothing good is going to happen to him, but I have tiny hope.

Oh I know, he has released the information on the Vanguard Papers & the Pandora Papers exposing the New World Order and the $680 TRILLION that they have stolen since 1910! But were getting it all back soon! Im telling ya the clues and key to following the White Hats like Elon Musk, Ryan Cohen when he bought GameStop, Bed Bath & Beyond, DWAC, AMC, SAVA, HYMC to name a few stocks mostly GameStop and Bed Bath & Beyond are going to INSANE prices the wealth is coming back to the people!!

Yeah he can essentially be thanked for everyone realizing 'stan and 'raq being pretty dang unnecessary. And before some zealot comes along, what I mean by unnecessary is that 'stan simply should have been infiltrated and Osama's whereabouts simply get droned/jdam'ed, cheapest for everybody.

ordinary assholes do not know who Juian is.

Yes. It's really insulting. I hate judging and I 'm just a nobody but I really think it just goes to show how ignorant the masses are. Surprisingly for me younger generations that should be thankful for his attempt to disrupt this much corruption are the ones that are completely ignorant about his existence and cause.

Consequences should come in the form of speech from people and not in the form of arrest

The United States government is the biggest danger to democracy in foreign nations. It is no better than Russia or China. And Infact it is worse!

@@TommyJefferson1801 yes, that's how bad ideas should be weeded out: through fruitful dialogue.
