Julian Assange and the war on whistleblowers w/Kevin Gosztola | The Chris Hedges Report – Everything Law and Order Blog

13 years ago WikiLeaks pulled back the curtain on a host of documented US government crimes. This year, Julian Assange is expected to stand trial. His case is emblematic of how far the US government will go to hide the truth.

Kevin Gosztola is the managing editor of Shadowproof, where he writes The Dissenter. He is the author of Truth and Consequences: The U.S. vs. Bradley Manning.

  1. The fall of Protestant America is a dream come true of the Vatican, that's why America was infiltrated to its ruin, religiously (Christianity), politically, economically, and socially. Now, the conspirators are planning to rebuild America according to their own plan and liking without Christ and without Christianity.

  2. Look at what they did to ASSANGE! Look at how afraid the Capitalists are of Humanity knowing the truth.
    ASSANGE a man reporting news of the most dire consequence . News all of Humanity needs to hear!
    So the criminal investment bankers have him locked up as a example!
    They feel that they must make our enslavement obviously!
    We must answer with a global revolt against money and capitalism!
    They think they have the right to tell us what we can talk about?
    Make all money worthless! If poverty is what must be. The common denominator Then by all meand the investment bankers deserve their share of it!

  3. PILNIUJCIE OSZUSTÓW KTO CO! A ZOBACZYCIE CZEGO SIE BOJA BANDYCKA NIEWOLA STOSOWANA! NAWT WCHODZĄ DO MIESZKAŃ BY CI NAPRAWIBC KOMPUTER NICA ROZAWALA BY WYKTPRASC ODKRYCIE!

  4. As an Australian here we go again trying to free Julian thank you for your excellent analysis and work brilliant love and light blessings to you and your family 💗💗💗🦄🦄🦄💚💚💚

  5. Free our most prominent citizen and honest Reporter, our Australian hero, Julian Assange.
    Australians have never hated the US and Britain as much as they do now .. for two main reasons: Julian Assange treatment, and the US aggressions on Russia.

  6. As an Australian I find the persecution of Julian Assange to be a disgrace, and the Australian government's supine acquiescence to this torture, totally disgraceful. Wikileaks exposed the whole rotten US war state ediface and for that Assange is being tortured to death – further exposing the rot. We all know who the criminals are here – and Assange is not amongst them.

  7. If Americans are allowed to arrest Australians, than Australia should arrest Americans.
    Because Americans talk more BS about Australia.
    Why would any one in Australia support Americans?

  8. @22:05 citizens abroad – US citizens, not just "people".
    24:50 – signal and whatsapp are both Israeli companies. Israel & Israeli businesses run 248 separate social media platforms as well.

  9. The govt shouldn't have any kinda hold over anyone. They're supposed to be public servants, meaning they need our permission, not the tyrannical rule we have now. Might as well be under the crown

  10. The Problem Has Always Been Obvious

    This may be obvious but the combination of vertical governance and capitalism is toxic for all but the rich. Government should not be for sale. But that is the problem in most all nations at the expense of everyone except the very rich. And this is what must be changed if we ever hope to live in a just and caring world. Those who gain from this marriage made in Hell will do anything to maintain their advantage and this can be seen throughout the history of humanity for thousands of years. Elections only perpetuate the dominance of the corrupt. It is simpler to remove the vertical from the equation by replacing it with a transparent horizontal structure than to rid us of capitalism. Someday we might find a way for 8 billion people to live harmoniously and equitably without the need of a currency, maybe with technical advances or something else. But we can't wait for that.

    Things have gotten way too far out of hand and all the major crises that beset humanity are a result of murderous criminals at the controls. With their control of the mainstream media they maintain their power by bamboozling the public with their propaganda. The war in Ukraine is just one of many atrocities that humanity must endure and witness on a daily basis. Their access to the military and the spy agencies jeopardizes the freedom and lives of everyone. All it takes is a lack of conscience, an extreme arrogance and disregard for others, and inconceivable wealth. The WEF, the WHO, the UN, NATO, the CIA are all corrupted and there to perpetuate and broaden their hegemony.

    Since anyone seemingly can be bought out and if not murdered, it is easy for them to maintain and increase their dominance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oilxI6Dgoy8&t=5s). The brutality in the world comes from the top down. Then you have the "Stockholm Syndrome", which might explain how large swaths of the population will vote in their oppressors like recently in Turkey. Or the situation in Israel where you have the Israeli government persecuting the Palestinians.

    On the other hand you have the example of the Kurds of Rojava, Syria having declared a region of northern Syria an "autonomous zone" in which 4.5 million people live and survive with over 10 different ethnicities living with equality. This ongoing struggle between them and their surrounding enemies of Syria, Turkey, and Iraq, along with ISIS is completely ignored by the mainstream media even though it has been going on for 11 years. Why is it ignored? Because this is an example of people breaking the collusion of government and capital and fighting for real freedom and democracy. They are using bottom-up, transparent horizontal governance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wywMhg604W8).

  11. Calling this a trial would be like calling the ole Black Lynching a court room.
    In Saudi this would be called an execut!on or show trial.
    In U$ it's called national security for exposing state crimes – that is the beauty of crimes committed in a dem0cracy, hence Bush, Cheney, Hilary, Bla!r, Powell are ALL dem0cratic leaders instead of murderers….what a genius system, if only Adolf had thought of that.

  12. Whistleblowers are the balancers of society, they make sure people do get away with abusing theor power and intruding on our rights. When whistleblowers are attacked, its only by criminals tryimg to hid their crimes. We shoukd all remember that.

  13. Why is there so much complicity with all this distortion of our alleged "Justice system?" They don't have REAL CHARGES AGAINST JULIAN. This is one of the sickest conspiracies I have ever seen with so many guilty parties. All the while the only man on trial is totally innocent of his persecutor's crimes.

  14. It is amazing during WW11 most of the Underground freedom fighters against the Nazis were so-called Communists and in the 1930s it was the Socialist organizations , the Communists (legal in the USA and CANADA) and the Unions that Consulted and advise Rooster as to what "MUST" be done to resurrect the USA back to a viable Nation. It seems it was the corporate elites during and after the depression that began the Use of Communists as the fall organization to blame for "ALL" the ill of the USA especially those that might effect the Elites.

  15. Based on my knowledge gained from the history books, I too understood that Ukraine was created as a sovereign state by the USSR. Then I watched a podcast from Slovakia, where professor, ThDr. Jan Safin , PhD, explained the complicated, intermingled history of the Eastern Slavs and the frequently changing borders between Russia, Poland, Lithuania, etc. Prof. Safin is an impressive academic. He studied in Russia as well and has had access to many old archives and original documents. He is a veritable living encyclopedia and has a keen analytical mind in geopolitics. It was in May 1921 that the Institute of Ukrainian Scientific Language was established, which "created " a literary and official Ukrainian language, based on a collection of dialects. For the first time people had to learn the language and it was required that all soviet officials learn it and use it on the territory of Ukraine. I conclude that while there were Ukrainian ethnic minorities spread around the USSR, there was no sovereign state, and nationhood, until the USSR created it. Putin IS CORRECT.

  16. In no way shape or form should this man be tried for anything… And if he is going to be then put the entire government and all it's agencies need to open the books and let us know what else they are keeping him from telling us they are up to… Freedom of speech and of the press were created to keep the government from prosecuting anyone for Tell ng the people the truth about what our govt is really doing
