mmjaa··on Assange in Court
Pro-Assange accounts are indeed being censored:

https://classconscious.org/2019/06/29/protest-at-twitter-hq-...

There is a media block (the UK can do that quite simply) on any reporting about Assange's health and conditions in Bellmarsh:

There is a definite campaign to torture/brainwash Assange while he is in Bellmarsh, as discovered by a UN investigator:

What annoys me is that Creative Labs also had a viable contendor against the iPhone, but killed it right when it seemed like it could have launched and competed. I guess nobody wanted to go up against Google and Android in one corner and Apple and iOS in the other.

Yet, PlaszmaOS could have been a real boon in the industry - especially if they'd licensed it off to all the Asian clone makers. It could've slowed Android, anyway, imho ..

I'd been using the Internet for 10 years before HTTP came along - it was definitely just as useful then as it is now.

Its just prettier now.

It has been widely reported that Bellmarsh medicates its political prisoners. It has also been reported by everyone who sees him that Assange is medicated.

mmjaa··on How SSH Port Became 22
I remember Wired publishing an article about PGP waaay back in the day, and they included Phil Zimmermans phone number in the article, for some bizaare reason.

On a whim, after reading the article and because I was at the time involved in setting up ISP services all over SoCal, I decided to just call him and say thanks.

Imagine my surprise when he answered, confirmed it was really him, and we chatted for 20 minutes or so about the Internet, how it needed to be secured, and so on. I'll never forget his huge "meh." in response to my statement "it must be weird having your personal phone # published in a national publication" .. ;)

>What I wanted was an independent account of the hearing. ... Where are their reports?

Indeed, the silence is deafening. Why do you think nobody else in Western media would be reporting on their observations of Assange during this hearing?

The reason is, this whole legal process is a farce. Assange has been chemically lobotomized, and will not get a fair trial - because he is now in the hands of the very people whose crimes against humanity he was dedicated to exposing.

Nevertheless, there will be more leaks, and there will be more actions taken against warmongers and criminals who think they are invincible. There is a big package of justice coming their way...

mmjaa··on Assange in Court
"mmjaa is insane" - ah, there we go, the standard response for anyone challenged by the thought that, perhaps, they're not living in as free a society as they think - especially when all it takes to get someone chemically lobotomized, is to challenge their sanity.

Lets come back to this in a few months when there will be evidence of Assanges' torture by the UK on behalf of its masters in the USA, presented to the relevant authorities.

Remember this: Medicating people with psychotropic drugs designed to radically alter their minds, against their will, is a crime against humanity.

mmjaa··on Assange in Court
Every western political dissident since 1950 has been subject to mind-altering chemical lobotomies for 'the sake of their mental health'. Anyone who pays even the slightest attention to the way dissidents are treated in the West can observe this for themselves. It is the norm to heavily medicate dissidents and those who proffer undesirable viewpoints against the powers that be - "he must be insane" is the standard repose for those having their crimes revealed.

All you have to do, is pay attention. Julian even predicted it would happen to him personally and warned us.

Look at the David Shayler case, for example. He was in the Bellmarsh brainwashing pipeline before Assange, and the same thing is happening to Julian.

mmjaa··on By removing “extremist content,” platforms are purging human rights evidence
Liveleak very knowingly remove any content that will embarrass the US' military-industrial-pharmaceutical complex, also.

So they're not really a great example.

mmjaa··on Assange in Court
Given the long history of atrocious crimes against humanity being committed by the US and its Coalition allies, it is logical to conclude that Assange has been chemically lobotomized in order to reduce the threat he poses to war-fighting operations.

If you want an independent view of Assange's mental health and wellbeing, you're going to have to wait. He is being held in Bellmarsh so that nobody can actually verify anything - not even his lawyers, and that IS THE POINT ENTIRELY - thus giving the CIA and its UK lackeys every opportunity to have their way with Assange, without anyone knowing anything until its well and truly, too late.

If you want 'independent verification' before you're willing to believe the state would do this to its enemies, maybe you should look at the long history of other enemies of the state being chemically lobotimized once they are held in secret conditions under the control of agents of the very military-industrial complex institutions whose crimes against humanity are being revealed.

BY DESIGN: there is no public oversight and there won't be until they have finished their lobotomy operation.

This is a serious situation which requires citizens such as yourself to have the courage to confront the details: the West has been torturing and disappearing its dissidents for decades. Go find out for yourself how bad it is.

mmjaa··on Assange in Court
As we have seen, "stop resisting" is a sure-fire way to have yourself turned into a chemical zombie by the state that's supposed to be protecting you.

I doubt very much that the 'rational approach' of giving oneself up to the very people whose crimes you've been revealing is going to be a productive way to continue the effort of revealing crimes against humanity.

mmjaa··on Assange in Court
The US will medicate him until he is chemically lobotomized and no longer a threat to their war-fighting operations, which are paramount to all other exercises in civil discourse, such as civil rights, human rights, not killing innocent people at scale, etc.
mmjaa··on Assange in Court
Americans don't need to think of him as a Russian agent because of the treatment he is experiencing - they need to consider him a Russian agent because that allows them to continue to ignore the crimes against humanity and war crimes that their country has been committing, in their name, for decades - and which Julian worked, tirelessly, to expose to the world to see: embarrassing Americans who were previously convinced of their nations exceptionalism.

Americans need to be distracted by the "ma' Russians!" narrative in order to be kept entirely ignorant of the 500,000 innocent people they have killed in their quest for glory in the Middle East. THAT is why "ma' Russians!" is being propagated as a narrative - because if anyone thinks the Americans shouldn't be getting away with murder, they sure as hell won't have the moral authority required to do something about it, if they are Russians, or Russian tools...

America is in the grips of another McCarthy era. There is NEVER any evidence given that "ma' Russians", yet the trills call out every time an American evil is placed on the table.

mmjaa··on Assange in Court
Innocent until proven guilty.

But in the meantime: medicated into oblivion so he can't adequately defend himself.

"Concern for his mental health" is just an excuse for "medically lobotomized".

>considered within the spectrum

What is your purpose here? To defend the actions of the UK court, which is clearly being corrupted by following direction from US agents?

Or to open the door for the, very definite Assange-haters, to have a way around the argument that Assange is not getting a fair trial, that this case is a total farce, and that anyone who stands up to the military-industrial-pharmaceutical complex is 'an enemy of the West'?

mmjaa··on Assange in Court
This is an atrocious, heinous crime being committed in front of all of us, and we should be rioting in the streets. This can happen to any of us now - nobody is safe from torture by the state.

This is the end of civilized society in the West, people.

Where Julian Assange goes, so go we.

Its the truth. You are being distracted by scary orange puppets and useless news, while the armed forces of the 5-eyes nations have been doing their best to get World War 3 started.

Pay attention. The war is coming your way whether you like it or not.

Does it appear to anyone else that the Powers That Be seem to be trying their best to construct a new world order of Western states, eventually merging them into one larger super-state, bit by bit? The war coalition, the 5-eyes .. Brexit .. all of these things seem to be geared towards creating an Anglo- super state ..

Do you live within the borders of a state? Then you are protected by it. How is that so hard to understand?

Do you feel confident you can call 911 and get a police response if you need it? Then you are protected by the state, which provides those services.

> How are the people — the majority of whom did not vote for our current leadership — to be held accountable?

Civics 101. All governments are composed of the people they govern.

True, your state has been corrupted. But, you are just as responsible for that as any other citizen. And I think your position is how your state got corrupted in the first place - "I'm not responsible for the crimes of my government!"

Alas, you are. And failing to take responsibility for them is how they get committed so rampantly in the first place ..

mmjaa··on Twitter says it will restrict retweeting world leaders who break rules
You live protected by the state, and are the principle beneficiary of its actions as a citizen, therefore you are responsible for the actions of the state.

You can't have all the rewards and none of the responsibilities - either yours is a representative government of and for the people, or it isn't.

Clearly, its not a representative government any more, if you feel you have zero responsibility for its machinations. So, the real delusion is that Americans consider America to be the home of the free and the brave, but really are a nation of slaves and cowards.

mmjaa··on Twitter says it will restrict retweeting world leaders who break rules
Twitter, an American company, attempts to control the discourse - just as most other American media companies attempt to control the discourse, in order to deflect from attention on American's gargantuan list of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Twitter is just one in a long line of goose-stepping corporations doing the bidding of the military-industrial-pharmaceutical complex which stands to profit greatly from its efforts ..

Loving your country in spite of its crimes against humanity and REAL war crimes makes you complicit.
mmjaa··on Twitter says it will restrict retweeting world leaders who break rules
The subject is "oppressive regimes which negatively impact the politics of other countries for their own gain" - and the USA is definitely on-topic in that regard.

Selective outrage over political machinations that don't originate from within your own political in-group is also a common tactic - when you've run out of good faith, arguments or otherwise ..

Please note the absolute lack of any kind of evidence in any of the claims you have quoted/forwarded as propaganda against Russia.

Evidence: that is what is needed. Not claims from authority figures, which - particularly in America - is not currently a politically trustworthy means of gaining understanding of world events at the moment.

Real evidence connecting the Kremlin with the IRA should be easy to find. Or, are you only reporting the reports?

Pray tell, what sort of playbook is America's destabilizing of multiple democratic governments derived from? What playbook was used to lie to the American people and commit war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen?

This perspective that American interference in democratic political processes around the globe is "righteous and justified" must be coming from some book, somewhere.

Which one?
