Bulletin N° 947
Subject: Julian Assange’s extradition
ruling due on 4 January 2021.
Grenoble, 27 December 2020
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
Please find below 2 items recently received at
CEIMSA which concern the up-coming hearing in the British court of Julian Assange’s case for extradition to the United States for
trial on counts of “treason” and “espionage” against the United States. The
legality of the state actions against Assange these
past many years remain unanswered questions for the judicial systems of Great
Britain, Equator and the United States; and, as is expressed in the two documents
below, have given rise to serious doubts about the credibility of the judicial process
in these countries.
To make matters worse, the corporate, 4-profit media
world-wide have fully collaborated with this state-orchestrated conspiracy to elude
justice for Julian Assange over these past many
years.
Sincerely,
Francis
Feeley

Assange extradition ruling due January 4th
Profound implications
for individuals and societies everywhere
Nine days from now, on 4 January 2021, a corrupt and malicious British judge is
expected to deliver her ruling on whether or not a corrupt and malicious
British government may be permitted to deliver Julian Assange
into the hands of a corrupt and malicious U.S. government.
Anyone who regards that as a matter of little or no importance may perhaps be
forgiven — given that, with relatively few exceptions, it has been
systematically ignored and/or misrepresented for over a decade by leading
political and journalistic actors. In so doing, they have grossly violated
their essential democratic functions with, among other things, an unprecedented
smear campaign and abuse of judicial power concentrated on a single human
being.
In fact, however, the case has profound implications for individuals and
societies everywhere. With good reason, the persecution of Julian Assange has been called the Dreyfus affair of our time —
although that is probably an understatement. Among the issues at stake:
• freedom of the press
• freedom of speech in general
• the viability of civil and legal rights
• abuse of judicial and governmental powers
• accountability of governments for war crimes and other serious misdeeds.
As an aid to those who wish to acquaint or reacquaint themselves with the facts
of the case, a collection of news and analysis concerning the Assange extradition hearing is being prepared in two PDF
documents. The first is now available at: www.nnn.se/nordic/assange/docs/hearnews-1.pdf
Barring medical or other impediments, the second part
should be completed within the next few days; recipients of this e-mail will be
notified at that time. (The web address is expected to be: www.nnn.se/nordic/assange/docs/hearnews-2.pdf)
This compilation of published material contains several hundred pages, and few
may have enough time or ambition to wade through all of them. But anyone who
reads only the relatively few “Selected Highlights” listed on page 1 should
thereby acquire a basic knowledge of the main issues and events.
Questions and comments are welcome, and may be addressed to Al Burke via e-mail
at <editor@nnn.se>
