We at Assange Countdown placed an order to put this up on a a billboard in DC..it was rejected by the billboard company Clear Chanel because it violated the reactionary company's "community standards "
" It's a deal, your royal highness. I won't mention your quick brutal murder of journalist Khashoggi as long as you don't mention my slow, torturing impending murder of journalist Assange"
The treatment of the most celebrated journalist and the most peaceful individual I've ever met continues to be nothing less than medieval..do you approve of this

That's why they're dropping cluster and dirty bombs on his character
It's all bullshit
After 14 months the DC FreeAssange mobile billboard project has come to an end ..I'm old in the tooth and the tank is empty
Thanks to all for your support..special thx to James who has been a real trooper and solid Assange partisan
My closing thoughts
Israeli security agents ( including the bloke in the last photo) accosted, rousted and interrogated me after I took these and other pics across from the Israel consulate on 42nd and 2nd Avenue.
I thought they were NYPD and when they demanded ID I popped put my WBAI card. They…

When mass murderer and torturer Pinochet was facing extradition in the UK he was treated like royalty in a plush spacious mansion; meanwhile Julian Assange, whose charges are exposing mass murder & torture, rots in a dank and rancid jail cell awaiting extradition in the UK
No surprise. The nation with the most heinous, ignominious and longest active legacy of embracing fascism is now banning the work of the individual

fraudulent, ominous & contrived case against revered and renowned journalist Julian Assange
"The CIA set up a black site at the Ecuadoran embassy'
The US citizen detained on espionage was in an industrial area in Russia, a country we have a proxy war against. We don't know the facts yet.
This is an Australian journalist charged with Espionage from a a nation he wasn't even in. We do know the facts: he told the truth
He's sacrificed 6 years of his freedom on behalf of freedom of the press... can you spare a few hours of your life in support of freedom of the press? If so and if you live in New York I'll see you Tuesday

an anti semite because he opposes the Israeli slaughter of women and children in occupied Palestine is as absurd as calling someone anti Italian because they opposed Italy's 1930s slaughter of women and children in occupied Ethiopia .

I was born on this day in 1954 right in the middle of the CIA coup in Guatamala extinguishing a democracy
And 68 years later my birthday falls in the middle of a CIA coup of this country as they try to extinguish the strongest pillar of this "democracy"
What's to celebrate?
A very sick Craig Murray is about to go to jail for no reason other than practicing journalism..
Craig is a dear friend ..I'm devastated by his going to prison..we all should be devastated
You must act
I beg you to support his defense fund
In my absence the Craig Murray Justice Campaign will be continuing the fight. Here is their first press release.
Please do retweet this to get the maximum possible awareness of the arrangement and the campaign.

Such a great jam packed event last night in support of legendary, persecuted
political prisoner Julian Assange..too many folks to thank with only 140 characters to work with
The whole world owes an incalculable dept of gratitude to the Russian people and other Soviet republics for their monumental, unparalleled sacrifice in defeating Fascism .. without them we would all be speaking German and reading Mein Kampf in hotel rooms

@UKUN_NewYork
The UK is not a sovereign nation. It has devolved into an obsequious vassal colony of the US. They've sold out their body and soul to its Uncle Sam pimp
Two things I want to make clear: Julian Assange never reveals his sources; and, there was no back channel between Mr. Assange and ANYONE in 2016..let's now focus on getting him out of the hateful fangs of injustice and into the loving arms of his family in Austrailia
