Publisher’s note: As mainstream Vermont “news” outlets, from Front Porch Forum to VtDigger, censor public dialogue about the “coronavirus pandemic,” the extradition “trial” of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange resumes in London. Assange, the world’s most important journalist and an Australian citizen, is charged with eighteen counts of espionage under the US Espionage Act, and this new short documentary film explores the dark implications of Assange’s house arrest, torture and trial at the hands of Western elites after being forcibly removed from asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy outside of London. We’ve included a Useful Idiots interview with the doc filmmaker, Juan Passarelli, as well.
“All political theories are bankrupt because most people don’t know what the hell is going on,” Assange states in the film. Until we provide citizens with consistent and reliable information about how their large institutions – governments and corporations – actually work, we will always be wandering around lost. The US Empire is coming home to roost, making viral war on US citizens in the same manner that they’ve destroyed humans around the world in the name of “democracy” and “freedom.” Watch, share, and keep organizing. Assange is the canary in our civilizational coal mine. Bless our 2nd Vermont Republic!
