Washington also knew that its media whores hated Assange for having the integrity and courage that they do not have and that they would willingly stomp him to death with their hobnailed boots.
The US Justice (sic) Department knows it has concocted a false case and intentionally kept it secret, but has no worry because insouciant Americans will believe its indictment regardless.
The judiciary will permit the false case to be tried in a federal court because every judge wants to be elevated rather than criticized and even framed, and the jury will be too afraid to go against Assange's public conviction in the media to find him innocent.
The jury's guilty verdict will murder the First Amendment, but the jury will be able to go home to their neighborhoods without being ostracized.
It is not only the government that is attacking free speech. Free speech is under full-scale attack by everyone who claims to be "offended," by the invention of "hate speech" to control what can be said about "victim groups," by the Israel Lobby that is having laws passed that prohibit the boycotting of Israel for its mistreatment of Palestinians and by equating criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism. (See, for example, this.) Twitter, Facebook, and Google are all active in deciding what can and cannot be said. (See, for example, this.) Public forums are denied to people who are disapproved of by other people.
A population that does not respect and defend free speech, debate, and truth will not long have the liberty that results from free speech, debate, and truth. My website respects truth, and it requires your support.
