Like all brave socialists who are fighting for injustice in this godforsaken capitalist world, I revere Julian Assange to the utmost!
Last night Assange was ordered by a London court to face extradition in connection to his lingering sex crime allegations. Basically, from a fish tank perspective, it would seem that some form of puppet master is tugging tightly on the strings to which Assange is carefully dangling.
It’s not groundbreaking news to be fair – JA has been prepping for this, while at the same time taking on the higher powers and lending his natural acting flair to internet memes. However, he continues to vehemently protest the convictions and remains phlegmatic as always.
“What we saw today was a rubber-stamping process. It came as no surprise, but is nonetheless wrong. Of course, we always knew we would appeal.”
The situation is lamentably detracting from what he is trying to achieve – which, if bona fide, is the most significant online revolution to occur since Microsoft Golf.
What should be recapitulated is the following:
1. Assange has never been charged with any offense.
2. Assange has never been interrogated officially about said offenses.
3. The offenses are not illegal in the UK – which doesn’t excuse any actions – but certainly vindicates them to an extent.
Acknowledging the “restraints” of the European arrest warrant mechanism, Assange and his team of legal beagles are prepping for the worst.
