Assange Exposes The Empire's True Face by Caitlin Johnstone published on 2023-07-16T12:52:11Z Julian Assange is a journalist who's been imprisoned for doing journalism on war crimes, by an empire that claims to defend journalists and oppose war crimes. Assange and his persecution expose the giant plot holes in every story the western power structure tells about itself. About its love of free speech and the free press. About its opposition to tyranny. About its wars and why it wages them. Reading by Tim Foley. Genre News & Politics Comment by Dale Ruff Government charges are wrong, but Assange betrayed us all when he joined the Trump Campaign and acted as a conduit for the emails Russia hacked to promote the election of our first fascist President. He is no hero; he used the power he gained speaking truth to power to become a kingmaker...betraying our trust. 2023-07-16T14:55:41Z
