UK High Court Rules Assange Can Be Extradited

On December 10th, 2021 the US won an appeal in a UK high court after an inferior court ruled Assange cannot be extradited. This is after nearly three years of fighting against extradition after being expelled from the Ecuadorian Embassy after a change of government. All that needs to happen is the UK home secretary to sign the order of extradition which is all but certain. I have written on the topic before so I will keep it brief.

Assange should not be extradited because the outcome of any trial in the USA will be a show trial. The US intelligence community has been spying on Assange and his lawyers for years now. The outcome of the trial has effectively been decided months ago if not years ago. The jury has already decided that Assange is guilty and he will almost certainly be in jail for the rest of his life.

Also, anyone who believes the United States assurances that he may serve time in prison in Australia or whatever is dense. That is just to win the case once he is in the US he will be sent in a Supermax Florence for the rest of his life with the Shoe Bomber and Boston Marathon bomber.

The US establishment is very ruthless and they will severely punish anyone who gets in the way. That is why Steven Donziger is under house arrest and why Micheal Hastings was murdered. The establishment doesn’t kill or imprison anyone who criticized them that has like 20,000 subscribers on their youtube channels but they will try to get rid of people who actively expose information that severely weakens or harms them or people that has a chance to dispose of them.

If the oligarchs simply killed or imprisoned anyone that dares opposed them then that will turn the public against them and ruin the facade of freedom and democracy so they simply prioritize the most dangerous individuals to their powers.

I have written about this in bigger detail so I will provide a link to the article I have written about this earlier.

Personally, I don’t Assange can be freed unless the oligarchy in the US is toppled and until the American people rise up against the oligarchy and get rid of them. So Assange is going to have to hold on for another 8 to 10 years which I highly doubt he will survive that long under solitary confinement though I think he might.

The reason why I think that is because I think if Assange dies he will become a martyr for any opposition and that will be very bad. I think Assange's jailers will try to keep him alive until his late sixties so it is plausible that he can die of natural causes to make sure Assange doesn’t become a martyr. Though he might have dirt on many powerful people so he could end up like Epstein. This time it would be considered plausible that he committed suicide to avoid living the rest of his life in absolute torment.

Anyways that gotten dark very quickly I think this is really sick and hope he is freed so he can be with his wife and kids. That is all I have for today.
