Julian who?

 Julian Assange's extradition hearing resumes today. The result is a forgone conclusion. Assange will be packed off to the US where he will spend the rest of his life in the most solitary of solitary confinement in the most maximum of maximum security prisons. 

Given what's at stake for journalism, you'd think that our top journos would be all over the story. Instead, there's a virtual news black-out. Not a peep about it in today's Globe and Mail. The CBC is marginally better, with a single anonymous AP story which helpfully informs us "Assange's legal troubles began in 2010, when he was arrested in London at the request of Sweden, which wanted to question him on allegations of rape and sexual assault..."

No, I'm afraid that's fake news. Assange's legal troubles began when WikiLeaks released the infamous "collateral murder" video. That's when the world got to see US war crimes up close as a couple of America's Top Guns yukked it up while machine-gunning unarmed Iraqi civilians from their Apache helicopter.

That was Assange's crime; exposing US war crimes. It's not that Canada's corporate journalists aren't aware of this. Their silence is due to the fact that they like their corporate paycheques and wish to keep them coming.

That's how "press freedom" works!

Welcome back, my Russian friends!

It was just a couple weeks ago I was bemoaning the fact that, for whatever reason, the Russian internet had me locked out for at least six months.

But the Russians are back!

Just in time for the Hillarious claims that Russia is behind the latest Wikileaks email dump.

Yup, you gotta keep a hairy eyeball on the Ruskies... even though the US outspends them ten to one on bombs and bullets, we gotta do more, way more, to counter the Russian threat.


Get the fuck outta here!

Who is behind the smear on Wikileaks?

Julian Assange. Love him or hate him.

The supposed alt-news site Global Research has supposedly unearthed evidence that Assange is tied in to the supposed secret society that sponsors all the bad shit that is happening on the planet.

Guess what? The Jews are behind it all.

Yup, it's those godam Rothschilds again. Julian Assange is a Rothschild plant.

Presumeably that poor little Manning fellow is too.

I expect that the Rothschilds will be springing them both out of prison really quick. After all, those Rothschilds control the world and everything in it, so springing a couple of dumb-fucks out of jail is nothing to them...

Are there really people on this planet retarded enough to believe this shit?
