thelibertybeacon--2020-10-03--Six Wikileaks Revelations Expose Corporate Abuse at Expense of People & Planet

6 Wikileaks Revelations Expose Corporate Abuse at Expense of People and Planet People around the world are watching as U.K. Judge Vanessa Baraitser hears arguments and decides whether or not to extradite Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange to the U.S .

6 Wikileaks Revelations Expose Corporate Abuse at Expense of People and Planet
By: Jeremy Loffredo
People around the world are watching as U.K. Judge Vanessa Baraitser hears arguments and decides whether or not to extradite Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange to the U.S.
While the Obama administration chose not to charge Assange, wary of the precedent it might set in criminalizing journalism, the Trump administration indicted him with 18 criminal charges that may land Assange in one of the U.S.’s most notorious prisons for 175 years.
Assange’s Wikileaks has won numerous journalism awards and has never had to retract a single publication despite releasing more than 10 million documents exposing, among other things, U.S. war crimes. Former CIA Director Leon Panetta recently indicated that the ongoing persecution of Assange is meant to “send a message to others not to do the same thing.”
As the world debates whether Assange is a hero or a traitor, Children’s Health Defense takes a step back to examine some of the things his organization has revealed for those fighting for health and environmental justice.
1. U.S. diplomatic efforts to overturn resistance to GMOs at the behest of Monsanto
Wikileaks published hundreds of diplomatic cables exhibiting attempts by the U.S. to quell opposition to genetically modified organisms or GMOs. As reported by The Guardian, “the cables show U.S. diplomats working directly for GM companies such as Monsanto.”
In a 2007 cable, Craig Stapleton, then U.S. Ambassador to France, advised the U.S. to prepare for economic war with countries unwilling to introduce Monsanto’s GM corn seeds. He recommended the U.S. “calibrate a target retaliation list that causes some pain across the E.U.”
Another dispatch, this one from 2009, demonstrated that the U.S. funded a GMO workshop in Mozambique that, according to the authors, helped advance biotech-friendly policies in the country.
In another cable from 2009, a U.S. diplomat stationed in Germany relayed intelligence on Bavarian political parties to several U.S. federal agencies and the U.S. Secretary of Defense, telling them which parties opposed Monsanto’s M810 corn seed and tactics that the U.S. could impose to resolve the opposition.
One cable from Hong Kong shows a State Department employee requesting $92,000 in U.S. public funds for “media education kits” to combat a growing popular movement calling for the labeling of GMO foods in Hong Kong. The cable indicates a desire to “make it much more difficult for mandatory labelling advocates to prevail.” The State Department’s Anita Katial, who wrote the cable, also recalled a time when her office facilitated the sending of pro-biotech and bio-agriculture DVDs to every high-school in Hong Kong.
According to Food & Water Watch Executive Director Wenonah Hauter, the trove of cables “really gets down to twisting the arms of countries and working to undermine local democratic movements that may be opposed to biotech crops, and pressuring foreign governments to also reduce the oversight of biotech crops.”
2. Multinational commodities trader dumping toxic waste in West Africa
In 2006, Trafigura, the world’s second largest oil trader, illegally discharged more than 500 tons of highly toxic oil waste near the Port of Abidjan in the Ivory Coast. Some of the dump sites were near agriculture fields or water supplies, and the UN estimates that more than 100,000 people sought medical treatment due to the incident. Wikileaks would later call this incident “possibly the most culpable mass contamination incident since Bhopal.”
Trafigura’s lawyer commissioned a confidential study that listed what the environmental and health impacts of the dumping incident would be after people living near the port started flooding hospitals.
The report explained that contact with the offloaded compounds could lead to eye damage, lung damage, skin burns, headaches, breathing difficulty, permanent skin ulceration, coma and death. The report also states that the chemical compounds would have a “severe and negative effect” on the environment.
As recently as 2016, residents were complaining about the smell of the waste, headaches, breathing problems and skin problems.
Wikileaks published the classified report in 2009, the first time the public could see the company’s true negligence.
3. Gates Foundation sees environmental activists as a threat
In 2008, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation hired an intelligence firm called Stratfor to put together a “threat assessment report” and determine current and future threats to the foundation.
Stratfor’s report saw environmental activists, indigenous farming groups, and peasant political parties in Asia and South America, as “potential threats” to the foundation.
“Threats to the foundation are likely to be directly related to the public association between the foundation and a controversial issue such as GMOs, animal testing, clinical trials and reproductive rights,” the report reads.
Stating that the primary threat to the foundation’s agriculture program comes from its work promoting GMOs, the report notes the rise of anti-GMO campaigning in developing countries, including a “staunch opposition to GMOs in India.” It even names specific activists, such as the U.S.-based anti-GMO campaigner Jeffrey Smith.
The report also mentions the work of large organizations like Greenpeace and PETA as well as alternative media outlets like the Center for Public Integrity, Mother Jones, AlterNet and the LA Times, which had just published a series accusing the foundation of “reap[ing] vast financial gains from investments in companies that contribute to the human suffering in health, housing and social welfare.”
Wikileaks published the threat assessment as part of its release of more than 5 million Stratfor emails in 2012.
4. Pharma intel and espionage operation
In 1996, Pfizer, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, conducted clinical trials in Nigeria for an antibiotic called Trovan. The results were devastating, as Nigerian officials reported more than 50 children died in the experiment and dozens became disabled.
In 2006, a Nigerian government panel concluded that Pfizer violated international law and called the experiment “an illegal trial of an unregistered drug.” In 2007, Nigerian state and federal authorities sued Pfizer for $7 billion, alleging the company did not have proper consent from the children’s parents.
A 2009 U.S. diplomatic cable published by Wikileaks revealed that while the case was in federal court, Pfizer had hired a private intelligence firm to get blackmail on Nigerian Attorney General Michael Aondoakaa.
According to the cable, “Pfizer’s investigators were passing this information to local media,” who published articles on the attorney general’s “alleged” corruption. “Aondoakaa’s cronies were pressuring him to drop the suit for fear of further negative articles,” it reads.
A few months after the negative articles, the Nigerian ministry of justice signed a settlement with Pfizer.
5. U.S. is a climate bully
Cables disclosed by Wikileaks in 2010 present the U.S. using what The Guardian called “spying, threats and promises of aid” to get international support for the 2009 Copenhagen Accord — an industry-friendly international climate deal with non-binding agreements to lower emissions. (Climate activist Naomi Klein described, at the time, the accord as “nothing more than a grubby pact between the world’s biggest emitters”.)
The State Department sent a secret cable to foreign embassies seeking human intelligence, or “dirt,” on UN diplomats regarding climate policy. And, as reported by Democracy Now!, the cables also indicated that the U.S. cut funding to Bolivia and Ecuador after both governments opposed the accord.
Bill McKibben, founder of the climate organization 350.org, said the cables exposed that “the U.S. was both bullying and buying countries into endorsing their do-little position on climate.”
6. International organizations consulting with Big Pharma
In 2009, Wikileaks revealed documents that the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) gave its members a report by the UN’s World Health Organization(WHO)’s Expert Working Group on research and development financing.
IFPMA members include pharmaceutical giants like Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer and Sanofi, and the organization represents these entities when dealing with the UN. What makes the Wikileaks document dump significant is that the working group gave IFPMA access to these documents months before their scheduled public release, suggesting that the UN’s health expert group was more accountable to the pharmaceutical industry than to its own member states.
“The compilation of documents shows the influence of ‘Big Pharma’ on the policy making decisions of the WHO,” Wikileaks commented when publishing the files.

Kudos to Van Morrison and Eric Clapton for Trying to Save Live Music

Coronavirus crackdowns have been devastating to live music performances. Venues have been shut down. Large gatherings have been banned. Even when venues have been allowed to reopen, they have been subjected to occupancy limits and other restrictions that can prevent profitable operation. Watching a show while wearing a mask and trying to “social distance” can be a drag.
Van Morrison and Eric Clapton are two marquee musicians who are saying enough already with the restrictions — let venues operate, musicians perform, and concertgoers attend performances normally.
For Morrison, the effort to save live music is about supporting freedom. He explains at his website:
I’m not telling people what to do or think, the government is doing a great job of that already. It’s about freedom of choice, I believe people should have the right to think for themselves.
In addition to speaking out for the return of music venues being able to operate at full capacity, Morrison has been taking actions to save live music including putting on a series of government restrictions compliant concerts where Morrison can challenge the coronavirus mandates in addition to performing his songs. For example, Louis Chilton reported this week at The Independent that Morrison “brought a cardboard cutout of [British] prime minister Boris Johnson holding a coronavirus warning sign on stage during a recent live performance” in London. The mocking action is in response to Johnson’s implementing of a particularly harsh coronavirus crackdown in Great Britain.
Morrison is also in the process of releasing three protest songs challenging government restrictions put in place in the name of countering coronavirus. The first song, “Born to Be Free,” is out already. Profits from the songs, as reported in a BBC article, will be donated to musicians who have suffered financially.
Morrison’s actions related to government mandates imposed in the name of countering coronavirus have been largely focused on trying to save live music. But, he makes clear in a quote in the BBC article that he understands that the harms of the coronavirus crackdowns extend much farther. Morrison states, “Lockdown is taking away people’s jobs and freedoms across all sectors of society.”
Certainly, there are many other musicians who share Morrison’s concerns and aspirations in relation to the coronavirus crackdowns. But, Morrison is unusual among very widely admired musicians in taking such bold and prominent actions in opposition to government mandates imposed in the name of coronavirus.

This week came good news that another music icon, Eric Clapton, is supporting Morrison in the effort to save live music. Suzanne McGonagle reported Tuesday at The Irish News:
Now Clapton has voiced his support for Van Morrison’s efforts to find solutions so venues can reopen at full capacity. “It is deeply upsetting to see how few gigs are going ahead because of the lockdown restrictions,” he said. “There are many of us who support Van and his endeavours to save live music, he is an inspiration. “We must stand up and be counted because we need to find a way out of this mess. “The alternative is not worth thinking about. Live music might never recover.”
May the chorus continue to grow.

A Ron Paul health Update:
When Dr. Ron Paul suffered a health scare during his live Liberty Report show, I was perhaps less worried than most of his friends, family, and fans. His remarkable vitality, vigor, and energy are well known to those around him, along with his penchant for exercise, clean living, and light eating. Having known him thirty years, I simply had no recollection of him ever being sick or out of commission. This is a man who had never missed a day of work or an event, at least in my memory. In my mind he was simply always there, a fixed feature of life. So my immediate reaction was to think he would be fine.
As it turns out, he is fine. Even unstoppable. ~Jeff Deist

Director of Hispanic media for GOP says Latino support for Trump is increasing across nation Support for President Trump within the Latino community is increasing in large part because of its record-high employment and concerns about Democrats ’ increasing socialist policies , says Yali Nunez , the Trump campaign ’ s director for Hispanic media .

“ Venezuelans and Cubans , among other Hispanics , have come to the United States for the American dream , and that would not be possible with Joe Biden , ” Nunez also said .
The unemployment rate for Hispanics under Trump dropped to a record-low @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that level until the pandemic hit in March .

“ Contrast that with Joe Biden who ’ s largely ignored them.
” Cortes said the second reason is that Hispanics are generally conservative people — religiously politically , culturally — and are rejecting the Democratic Party of 2020 that “ lurches to the left.

Director of Hispanic media for GOP says Latino support for Trump is increasing across nation
Yali Nunez says Hispanics don’t want to see socialist policies that they escaped.
By Brianna Kraemer
Support for President Trump within the Latino community is increasing in large part because of its record-high employment and concerns about Democrats’ increasing socialist policies, says Yali Nunez, the Trump campaign’s director for Hispanic media.
“The socialist policies that are coming out from the Democrat Party right now scare Hispanics,” Nunez told “Just the News AM” host Carrie Sheffield on Thursday, explaining that Hispanic voters don’t want to see the socialism many of them escaped replicated “here in the United States.”
While Trump’s Democrat challenger Joe Biden entered the 2020 race as a moderate, the increasingly powerful progressive wing of his party, which embraces parts of the socialist agenda, has been influential in shaping his policy platforms.
“Venezuelans and Cubans, among other Hispanics, have come to the United States for the American dream, and that would not be possible with Joe Biden,” Nunez also said.
The unemployment rate for Hispanics under Trump dropped to a record-low 3.9% last year and remain at that level until the pandemic hit in March.
“They want to see growth, they want to see their communities protected, and they have seen an improvement under the Trump administration,” Nunez said.
Steve Cortes, a senior advisor to the Trump campaign, later in the day told “The Water Cooler” host David Brody that Hispanics are drawn to President Trump and his campaign for three major reasons.
“No. 1 is we’re trying a serious, consistent, respectful outreach to members of the Hispanic community,” he said. “Contrast that with Joe Biden who’s largely ignored them.”
Cortes said the second reason is that Hispanics are generally conservative people — religiously politically, culturally — and are rejecting the Democratic Party of 2020 that “lurches to the left.”
“And then finally,” he said, “I think the economy matters to all Americans, of course, but Hispanics are the most entrepreneurial demographic in America. This president has been fantastic for startups.”

ER Editor : Here is our summary of main points for the first 30 minutes of yesterday ’ s UK Column broadcast ( October 2 ) , which deals with the state of Britain ’ s parliamentary democracy , or the lack thereof .
Today ’ s presenters are Mike Robinson , Patrick Henningsen and military expert , David Ellis .
The relevant discussion begins at 4:00 mins and ends at 29:20 mins .
Note that the British Parliament has 650 sitting MPs .
( 334 + 24 = 358 votes , leaving 292 votes missing ) We need to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those seemingly going to bat for their constituents , living under immense hardship under covid measures , which is only set to get worse , are people like MP Charles Walker with a ‘ Sir ’ before his name .
WHERE ARE THE MP ’ s WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING THE ORDINARY CITIZEN ?
Such as the entire Labour crowd ?
What we ’ re now witnessing is a direct line of power from the trillionaire oligarchs behind Bill Gates and the WHO , down through a small number of govt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people .
As David Ellis says in the video below , MPs have effectively been ‘ given their P45s ’ , i.e .
their redundancy notices .
UK citizens no longer have functioning representation .
• The Coronavirus Act was voted on and passed on Wednesday ( it is up for renewal every six months ) .
334 voted for it , 24 against .
So where was the opposition ?
There were supposed to be 80-100 Tory MPs who would rebel under the leadership of Sir Graham Brady , whose amendment was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put to a parliamentary vote .
But Johnson did a deal in advance .
The rebels and opposition parties are allegedly angry that restrictions are being implemented on the public without debate .
Secondary legislation or ‘ statutory instruments ’ is the way that new regulations are being implemented by a certain small group of ministers .
They ’ re not coming to Parliament for review .
This kind of legislation has even been enacted on a Sunday evening when MPs are not sitting !
• The question from Wednesday is : Where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turn up to vote ( these were not abstentions ) .
From a constitutional point of view , this vote is probably one of the most important ever .
How could MPs abscond ?
This is a massive story .
• Debate time for the renewal of the Coronavirus Act in the House of Commons was limited to just 90 minutes .
MP Sir Charles Walker ‘ s ( see featured image ) statement in the Commons about this ( video clip ) : ’ 90 minutes to debate the renewal of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature of the relationship between the state and citizens is not good enough… I need , at some stage , more than 3 minutes to discuss the fundamental hardships that are going on in my constituency .
The jobs that are being lost … 90 minutes is an utter utter disgrace !
It is actually disrespectful to this House and it is disrespectful to colleagues … ( he gets angry ) .
It would be nice , just NICE , if this House were showing some respect !
” • There is an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is ill and can ’ t get into vote , that vote is paired with another MP who would vote in the opposite way .
Thus , both people don ’ t have to vote : each one cancels the other out .
But this arrangement was apparently cancelled in 2017 , and it doesn ’ t seem to have been reinstated so far … ( being investigated ) • What we ’ re witnessing , which began with Brexit , is a sidelining of parliament .
It is a fundamental change in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ citizens .
Parliament is being sidelined by a dictatorial executive .
And now MPs are stepping back from their role as MPs .
( And we ’ re still not sure why . )
• David Ellis : 300 MPs didn ’ t turn up to do their job .
Parliament is being subverted – they ’ re being unemployed effectively .
The public are being betrayed .
It is a democratic failure .
The public need to hold their MPs responsible for this .
Ministers have been able to introduce new , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vote , which is one problem ; but the second , bigger problem is that the MPs have failed as a whole – this is where public outrage should be focused on .
The government is simply trying it on , but the MPs are letting it happen .
MPs can just vote it down and say no if they choose to .
• Names of MPs who voted against the renewal of the Act are read out … • The Speaker of Parliament , Lindsay Hoyle – he needs to stand up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there also needs to be a volume of MPs who press this issue with Hoyle .
Government is being allowed to run amok .
The public needs to pressure MPs , who in turn pressure Hoyle .
We ’ re at the point where we ’ re no longer a functioning democracy .
Henningsen : Citizens need to find out where their MP was during this vote .
This could be one of most constitutionally important pieces of legislation ever .
• Andy Preston , the Middlesborough mayor , has refused to comply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restrictions unless it becomes a legal requirement .
( Preston speaks on video , appealing to the idea that the virus needs to be brought under control . )
Henningsen : Covid doesn ’ t need to be brought under control as Preston says – it already is .
It ’ s a narrative that simply has no scientific support , yet many appeal to this .
It is a weakness in Preston ’ s position .
• See Frederick Forsyth ‘ s excellent article in the Daily Express explaining FIVE STEPS to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the servant of incompetent scientists , says FREDERICK FORSYTH ) .
( discussed ) • Spain ( Henningsen ) : it has gone down the Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole in terms of masks , fines , snitching , fear , & etc .
Is this what the British govt wants to happen in the UK ?
• MP Anne Widdicombe ’ s interview with David Ellis ( video clip ) : she is recognizing the same phenomenon happening as Forsythe .
She is against the military assisting the police in any way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on each other , etc .
‘ We ’ re seeing the dictatorship of the few under emergency powers ’ .
VIDEO LINK to Widdicombe interview In other words , other smart people like Widdicombe , people who know how the system works from the inside , are seeing the same dictatorial phenomenon taking place .
We THINK we ’ re still in a democracy … ( End : 29:20 ) Published to The Liberty Beacon from EuropeReloaded.com The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate , and for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But we must also be practical .
For 7 years we have not asked for any donations , and have built this project with our own funds as we grew .
We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent .

The government is simply trying it on, but the MPs are letting it happen. MPs can just vote it down and say no if they choose to.

Government is being allowed to run amok. The public needs to pressure MPs, who in turn pressure Hoyle. We’re at the point where we’re no longer a functioning democracy. Henningsen: Citizens need to find out where their MP was during this vote. This could be one of most constitutionally important pieces of legislation ever.

thelibertybeacon--2020-10-03--Noam Chomsky Testifies In Assange Hearing [Video]

Posted by Tyler Durden | Authored by Craig Murray via AntiWar.com I really do not know how to report Wednesday ’ s events .
Stunning evidence , of extreme quality and interest , was banged out in precis by the lawyers as unnoticed as bags of frozen chips coming off a production line .
The court that had listened to Clair Dobbin spend four hours cross-examining Carey Shenkman on individual phrases of first instance court decisions in tangentially relevant cases , spent four minutes as Noam Chomsky ’ s brilliant exegesis of the political import of this extradition case was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without examination , question or placing into the context of the legal arguments about political extradition .
Years ago Noam Chomsky visited Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London .
Twenty minutes sufficed for the reading of the “ gist ” of the astonishing testimony of two witnesses , their identity protected as their lives may be in danger , who stated that the CIA , operating through Sheldon Adelson , planned to kidnap or poison Assange , bugged not only him but his lawyers , and burgled the offices of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ went unchallenged and untested .
The rich and detailed evidence of Patrick Cockburn on Iraq and of Andy Worthington on Afghanistan was , in each case , well worthy of a full day of exposition .
I should love at least to have seen both of them in the witness box explaining what to them were the salient points , and adding their personal insights .
Instead we got perhaps a sixth of their words read rapidly into the court record .
There was much more .
I have noted before , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that some of the evidence is being edited to remove elements which the US government wish to challenge , and then entered into the court record as uncontested , with just a “ gist ” read out in court .
The witness then does not appear in person .
This reduces the process from one of evidence testing in public view to something very different .
Wednesday confirmed the acceptance that this “ Hearing ” is now devolved to an entirely paper exercise .
It is in fact no longer a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not hear a judge reading .
Perhaps in future it should be termed not a hearing but an “ occasional rustling ” , or a “ keyboard tapping ” .
It is an acknowledged , indeed embraced , legal trend in the UK that courts are increasingly paper exercises , as noted by the Supreme Court .
In the past , the general practice was that all the argument and evidence was placed before the court orally , and documents were read out , Lady Hale said .
She added : “ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more of the argument and evidence is reduced into writing before the hearing takes place .
Often , documents are not read out .
“ It is difficult , if not impossible , in many cases , especially complicated civil cases , to know what is going on unless you have access to the written material.
” At least twice in the current case , Judge Baraitser has mentioned that the defense gave her three hundred pages of opening argument , and has done so in the context of doubting the need for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for lengthy closing arguments which take account of the evidence .
She was highly resistant to any exposition by witnesses of their evidence before cross-examination , arguing that their evidence was already in their statements so they did not need to say it .
She eventually agreed on a strict limit of just half an hour for witness “ orientation ” .
However much Lady Hale thinks she is helping by setting down a principle that the documentation must be available , having Patrick Cockburn ’ s statement online somewhere will never have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witness box and expounding on it .
What happened on Wednesday was that the whole hearing was collapsed , with both defense and prosecution lawyers hurling hundreds of pages of witness statement at Baraitser ’ s head , saying : “ You look at this .
We can get finished tomorrow morning and all have a long weekend to prepare our next cases.
” I was so disappointed by the way the case petered out before my eyes , that the adrenaline which has carried me through must have dried up .
Returning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brief doze , when I tried to get up for the afternoon session I was overcome with dizziness .
I eventually managed to walk to the court , despite the world having decided to present itself at a variety of sharp and unusual angles , and everything appearing to be under glaring orange sodium light .
The Old Bailey staff – who I should say have been really friendly and helpful to me throughout – very kindly took me up in a lift and through the advocate ’ s robing room to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say that after court two pints of Guinness and a cheese and ham toastie had a substantial restorative effect .
Those who have followed these reports will understand how frustrating it was to be deprived of James Lewis asking Noam Chomsky how he can venture an opinion on whether this extradition is politically motivated when he is only a Professor of Linguistics , or whether he has ever published any peer-reviewed articles .
To attempt to encapsulate the wealth of information skipped through yesterday is not the work of an evening .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you the eloquent and brief statement by Noam Chomsky on the political nature of Julian Assange ’ s actions : A friend last night gave me the cold comfort that I should not worry about the hurried close of these proceedings reducing the public gaze on the evidence and the arguments ( and I think there were altogether nine witness statements yesterday ) , because that public gaze had been extremely limited , as indeed I have been continually explaining .
In other words , it makes no difference .
I follow that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fundamental beliefs and motivations I have about bearing witness , which I shall need to develop further in my own mind .
In the next few days I will try to bring you a synthesis and analysis of all that passed on Wednesday .
Now I need to go to court and see the last few dribbles of this case , and exchange last glances of friendship with Julian for some months .

Noam Chomsky Testifies In Assange Hearing; Extradition Decision Expected Next Year
Posted by Tyler Durden | Authored by Craig Murray via AntiWar.com
I really do not know how to report Wednesday’s events. Stunning evidence, of extreme quality and interest, was banged out in precis by the lawyers as unnoticed as bags of frozen chips coming off a production line.
The court that had listened to Clair Dobbin spend four hours cross-examining Carey Shenkman on individual phrases of first instance court decisions in tangentially relevant cases, spent four minutes as Noam Chomsky’s brilliant exegesis of the political import of this extradition case was rapidly fired into the court record, without examination, question or placing into the context of the legal arguments about political extradition.
Years ago Noam Chomsky visited Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London
.
Twenty minutes sufficed for the reading of the “gist” of the astonishing testimony of two witnesses, their identity protected as their lives may be in danger, who stated that the CIA, operating through Sheldon Adelson, planned to kidnap or poison Assange, bugged not only him but his lawyers, and burgled the offices of his Spanish lawyers Baltazar Garzon. This evidence went unchallenged and untested.
The rich and detailed evidence of Patrick Cockburn on Iraq and of Andy Worthington on Afghanistan was, in each case, well worthy of a full day of exposition. I should love at least to have seen both of them in the witness box explaining what to them were the salient points, and adding their personal insights. Instead we got perhaps a sixth of their words read rapidly into the court record. There was much more.
I have noted before, and I hope you have marked my disapproval, that some of the evidence is being edited to remove elements which the US government wish to challenge, and then entered into the court record as uncontested, with just a “gist” read out in court. The witness then does not appear in person. This reduces the process from one of evidence testing in public view to something very different. Wednesday confirmed the acceptance that this “Hearing” is now devolved to an entirely paper exercise. It is in fact no longer a “hearing” at all. You cannot hear a judge reading. Perhaps in future it should be termed not a hearing but an “occasional rustling”, or a “keyboard tapping”. It is an acknowledged, indeed embraced, legal trend in the UK that courts are increasingly paper exercises, as noted by the Supreme Court.
In the past, the general practice was that all the argument and evidence was placed before the court orally, and documents were read out, Lady Hale said. She added: “The modern practice is quite different. Much more of the argument and evidence is reduced into writing before the hearing takes place. Often, documents are not read out. “It is difficult, if not impossible, in many cases, especially complicated civil cases, to know what is going on unless you have access to the written material.”
At least twice in the current case, Judge Baraitser has mentioned that the defense gave her three hundred pages of opening argument, and has done so in the context of doubting the need for all this evidence, or at least for lengthy closing arguments which take account of the evidence. She was highly resistant to any exposition by witnesses of their evidence before cross-examination, arguing that their evidence was already in their statements so they did not need to say it. She eventually agreed on a strict limit of just half an hour for witness “orientation”.

However much Lady Hale thinks she is helping by setting down a principle that the documentation must be available, having Patrick Cockburn’s statement online somewhere will never have the impact of him standing in the witness box and expounding on it. What happened on Wednesday was that the whole hearing was collapsed, with both defense and prosecution lawyers hurling hundreds of pages of witness statement at Baraitser’s head, saying: “You look at this. We can get finished tomorrow morning and all have a long weekend to prepare our next cases.”
I was so disappointed by the way the case petered out before my eyes, that the adrenaline which has carried me through must have dried up. Returning to my room at lunchtime for a brief doze, when I tried to get up for the afternoon session I was overcome with dizziness. I eventually managed to walk to the court, despite the world having decided to present itself at a variety of sharp and unusual angles, and everything appearing to be under glaring orange sodium light. The Old Bailey staff – who I should say have been really friendly and helpful to me throughout – very kindly took me up in a lift and through the advocate’s robing room to the public gallery.
I am happy to say that after court two pints of Guinness and a cheese and ham toastie had a substantial restorative effect. Those who have followed these reports will understand how frustrating it was to be deprived of James Lewis asking Noam Chomsky how he can venture an opinion on whether this extradition is politically motivated when he is only a Professor of Linguistics, or whether he has ever published any peer-reviewed articles. To attempt to encapsulate the wealth of information skipped through yesterday is not the work of an evening.
What I shall do for now is give you the eloquent and brief statement by Noam Chomsky on the political nature of Julian Assange’s actions:
A friend last night gave me the cold comfort that I should not worry about the hurried close of these proceedings reducing the public gaze on the evidence and the arguments (and I think there were altogether nine witness statements yesterday), because that public gaze had been extremely limited, as indeed I have been continually explaining. In other words, it makes no difference. I follow that argument, but it goes against some fundamental beliefs and motivations I have about bearing witness, which I shall need to develop further in my own mind.
In the next few days I will try to bring you a synthesis and analysis of all that passed on Wednesday. Now I need to go to court and see the last few dribbles of this case, and exchange last glances of friendship with Julian for some months.

Watch Biden’s ‘just an idea,’ firebomb in Rochester & Portland
By: M. Dowling
Antifa is Joe Biden’s “just an idea,” a conspiracy theory, it’s not real. Yet, they are firebombing and promoting communism throughout the nation, along with Black Lives Matter.
One of those is a member of organized Antifa, Ryan Howe, 27, who likes to write violent posts and teach comrades how to make little bombs. He’s a flourishing idea.
ANTIFA, JUST AN ‘IDEA’
Ryan Howe, who is trans and goes by “Rylea Autumn,” is federally charged with inciting a riot in Rochester, N.Y. The affidavit details Howe’s ties to organized militant Antifa and accuses them of posting instructions to make a firebomb to throw at police, Andy Ngo reports.
Howe was teaching comrades to make firebombs. He was charged with using a facility of interstate and foreign commerce to incite, promote, and encourage a riot. Howe—who uses the pronouns “they/them” and “she/her”—is also known as “Rylea Autumn,” Ngo reported.
Howe’s Facebook bio line reads: “Genderqueer, Anti-Fascist, Anti-Racist, Anarcho-communist.” Additionally, Howe’s Twitter account is filled with posts identifying with antifa and expressing support for communism. Howe’s active in destroying Rochester and promoting destruction around the country.
Ngo and Mia Cathell report at the Post Millennial that on Sept. 23, Howe wrote on Facebook, “Burn this sh— to the f—ng ground,” after three officers were not charged in the death of Breonna Taylor in Kentucky.
The real irony as you read about antifa is that Biden says it’s an idea and the media ignores it, but Trump disavows white supremacists over and over, and the media claims he didn’t.
Remember when we knew people like this are crazy?
JUST AN ‘IDEA’
You all helped make this happen. It would be a shame if tons of voters saw just how ridiculous Joe Biden’s Antifa claims are. Antifa isn’t an idea Joe, they’re 100% organized. #JustSayNoToAntifaJoe pic.twitter.com/CMVdh9RpGL — Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) October 1, 2020
Antifa is destroying America! they are not just an idea Joe Biden lied and I am exposing his intentional dishonesty Antifa are formal/organized groups They work together in a greater coordinated movement Everyone must watch this New video: https://t.co/uzrPAVtSn7 pic.twitter.com/OZfD6AWchh — ELIJAH RIOT (@ElijahSchaffer) October 2, 2020
POSTCARDS FROM PORTLAND
In Portland, antifa/BLM rioters blocked an officer on a motorcycle who had stopped a car to keep him from giving chase as the car fled. As the officer tried to pursue, the revolutionaries jumped in front of him. One person was knocked over, screaming like a banshee.
