Hunger Has Run Through Veins, Bones Wanted To Pierce Skin, He Cowered To Stay Warm... It's Palito when he first came home. Keep failing down, but I know he's happy now. Palito was found a week ago collapsed on the road. Local people said he has walked to find his owner a for while, never knew that they already dumped him in a new town far way from his home so he doesn't know the way back. Had nothing to eat, when we found him. It's so emaciated...

First He Tried To Hide, Then He Sobbed Badly And Finally Slept In My Arm Like A Baby...

They Made Her 'Give Birth' Then Left Her In Front Of My Shelter When She Can't Stand Up Alone... My heart broke when I first saw her in front of my shelter. Quick hemogram said she's still young but very anemic. She has a huge wound on a leg as they tied her too long.The vet see in the echo and said they made her 'give birth'. Now she weighs only 15 kilos without love of any puppy. We worry as in her eyes, it is no hope, just sadness: bones pierced her skin in some areas...

Caitlin Johnstone: Assange Free, But No Justice

June 25, 2024

We all still live under a globe-spanning power structure that has shown the entire world that it will destroy your life if you expose its criminality.

Listen to Tim Foley reading this article.

Julian Assange is free. Early on Tuesday he was en route to the Northern Mariana Islands, a remote U.S. territory in the western Pacific, to finalize a plea deal with the U.S. government which will see him sentenced to time served in Belmarsh Prison. Barring any shady shenanigans from the empire in the process, he will then return to his home country of Australia a free man.

Importantly, according to experts I’ve seen commenting on this astonishing new development it doesn’t appear that his plea deal will set any new legal precedents that will be harmful to journalists going forward. Joe Lauria reports the following for Consortium News:

“Bruce Afran, a U.S. constitutional lawyer, told Consortium News that a plea deal does not create a legal precedent. Therefore Assange’s deal would not jeopardize journalists in the future of being prosecuted for accepting and publishing classified information from a source because of Assange’s agreeing to such a charge.”

I’ve obviously got a lot of big feels about all this, having followed this important case so closely for so long and having put so much work into writing about it. There’s so very, very much work to be done in our collective struggle to liberate the world from the talons of the imperial murder machine, but I am overjoyed for Assange and his family, and it feels good to mark a solid win in this fight.

None of this undoes the unforgivable evils the empire inflicted in its persecution of Julian Assange however, or reverses the worldwide damage that has been done by making a public example of him to show what happens to a journalist who tells inconvenient truths about the world’s most powerful government. 

So while Assange may be free, we cannot rightly say that justice has been done.

Justice would look like Assange being granted a full and unconditional pardon and receiving millions of dollars in compensation from the U.S. government for the torment they put him through by his imprisonment in Belmarsh beginning in 2019, his de facto imprisonment in the Ecuadorian embassy beginning in 2012, and his jailing and house arrest beginning in 2010.

Justice would look like the U.S. making concrete legal and policy changes guaranteeing that Washington could never again use its globe-spanning power and influence to destroy the life of a foreign journalist for reporting inconvenient facts about it, and issuing a formal apology to Julian Assange and his family.

Justice would look like the arrest and prosecution of the people whose war crimes Assange exposed, and the arrest and prosecution of everyone who helped ruin his life for exposing those crimes. This would include a whole host of government operatives and officials across numerous countries, and multiple U.S. presidents.

Justice would look like a hero’s welcome and a hero’s honors from Australia upon his arrival, and a serious revision of Canberra’s obsequious relationship with Washington.

Justice would look like formal apologies to Assange and his family from the editorial boards of all the mainstream press outlets which manufactured consent for his vicious persecution — including and especially The Guardian — and the complete destruction of the reputations of every unscrupulous presstitute who helped smear him over the years.

If these things happened, then we could perhaps argue that justice has been served to some extent. As it stands all we have is the cessation of one single act of depravity by an empire that is only backing off to make room for newer, more important depravities. 

We all still live under a globe-spanning power structure which has shown the entire world that it will destroy your life if you expose its criminality, and then stand back and proudly call this justice.

So I personally think I’m just going to take this one small victory in stride with a quick “thank you” to the heavens and get back to work. There is still so much to do, and vanishingly little time to do it. 

The fight goes on.
