General Flynn response to prosecutors, Attorney Sidney Powell filing Nov. 1, 2019, Strzok Page texts: “I made some joke about what F said. Something
patriotic or military.”

“I made some joke about what F said. Something patriotic or military.”…Strzok Page texts

“Instead of doing so, the government has continued to defy its
constitutional, ethical and legal obligations to this Court and to the defense, and to hide evidence that it knows exonerates Mr. Flynn. As is the essence of the problem here, instead of protecting its citizens, the “government” is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives.”…Attorney Sidney Powell October 23, 2019

Mueller, as a matter of determined policy, omitted key steps which any honest investigator would undertake. He did not commission any forensic examination of the DNC servers. He did not interview Bill Binney. He did not interview Julian Assange. His failure to do any of those obvious things renders his report worthless.”…Craig Murray

 

From the Attorney Sidney Powell response filing November 1, 2019 in United States v Michael Flynn:

“As new counsel has made clear from her first appearance, Mr. Flynn will ask this Court to dismiss the entire prosecution based on the outrageous and un-American conduct of law enforcement officials and the subsequent failure of the prosecution to disclose this evidence—which it had in its possession all along—either in a timely fashion or at all. Moreover, the defendant still needs and is still entitled to all the facts in the government’s possession—not just those Mr. Van Grack was forced to provide because they had already leaked into the public
domain. The government’s tactic of disclosing information because it had made its way into the news and the internet is tantamount to no Brady disclosure at all, while its self-serving minimized disclosures were outright deceptive.”

“Despite a polite reminder from this Court that its Brady order is paramount,1 the government’s response depends heavily on its assertion—forty-five times in twenty pages—that Mr. Flynn pleaded guilty, and thirteen assertions that he waived any right to further Brady material.2 As expected, the government touts its many Brady disclosures. What it elides, however, is that its “disclosures” were so limited, misleading, untimely, or deliberately trivialized as to
render them meaningless—and in some instances, outright deceitful. As the Supreme Court has recognized, and which happened in the extreme here, an incomplete response could “represent[] to the defense that the evidence does not exist” and cause it “to make pretrial and trial decisions on the basis of this assumption.” United States v. Bagley, 473 U.S. 667, 682-83 (1985).”

“The real evidence the government had long suppressed caused a cavalcade of major events—many within mere days of Mr. Flynn’s plea—and all unknown to him before it. Lisa Page, Special Counsel to Deputy Director McCabe, resigned; she had edited Mr. Flynn’s 302 and was part of the small, high-level group that strategically planned his ambush. Lead Agent Peter Strzok was demoted from the Mueller investigation and ultimately fired. Strzok, who had met extensively with McCabe and the high-level, small group, was primarily responsible for creating the only basis for the charge alleged against Flynn. Ex. 1.

The day after Mr. Flynn’s plea, the press exploded with the news of Strzok and Page’s prolific text messages, their affair, and their malice toward President Trump.3 The Inspector General issued a rare statement that he was investigating the entire matter. MTC 23. Bruce Ohr, the fourth highest-ranking member of DOJ, was demoted. Judge Contreras, who accepted Mr. Flynn’s plea only days before, was suddenly and inexplicably recused—only for it to be disclosed
much later that he was a topic of conversation in the Strzok-Page texts because he was a friend of Agent Strzok.4 And, remarkably, DOJ’s Bruce Ohr was demoted a second time. Ex. 1. This is merely a snapshot of the aftershock from the earliest revelations into the public domain and to Mr. Flynn.”

“January 23, the day before the interview, the upper echelon of the FBI met to orchestrate it all. Deputy Director McCabe, General Counsel James Baker, , Lisa Page, Strzok, David Bowdich, Trish Anderson, and Jen Boone strategized to talk with Mr. Flynn in such a way as to keep from alerting him from understanding that he was being interviewed in a criminal investigation of which he was the target. Ex.12. Knowing they had no basis for an investigation,6
they deliberately decided not to notify DOJ for fear DOJ officials would follow protocol and notify White House Counsel. They decided not to tell Flynn their true purpose nor give him 1001 warnings, so as to keep him “relaxed.” They planned not to show him the transcript of his calls to refresh his recollection, nor confront him directly if he did not remember. In short, they planned
to deceive him about the entire scenario, and keep him “unguarded.” Exs. 5, 6; MTC 34.”

“They knew what they were doing was wrong. Lisa Page wrote: “I can feel my heart beating harder, I’m so stressed about all the ways THIS has the potential to go fully off the rails.””

“5. Reporting Back: Flynn’s “Demeanor Was Sure.”
He Was Telling the Truth or Believed He Was Telling the Truth.
The agents returned from interviewing Mr. Flynn, describing their excitement over it, and with a belief contrary to what they expected, that he had been honest with them. After the interview, they briefed it three times. Strzok texted Page: “Describe the feeling, nervousness, excitement knowing we had just heard him denying it all. Knowing we’d have to pivot into asking.
Puzzle round and round about it. Talk about the funny details. Remember what I said that made Andy laugh and ask if he really said that.”
Strzok urged: “Also have some faith in and my assessment. ……. I’m finding it hard to go out on a counterintuitive yet strongly felt ledge with so many competent voices expressing what I feel too: bullsh*t – that doesn’t make sense. [] I made some joke about what F said. Something patriotic or military.””

Ty Clevenger v Department of Justice stay for Deborah Sines deposition, Seth Rich case prosecutor, “DOJ was willing to hide records….to conceal the misconduct of senior FBI and DOJ officials.”

“Fox News news analyst Ellen Ratner relayed information from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to Texas businessman Ed Butowsky regarding Seth Rich’s role in transferring emails to Wikileaks, according to an amended lawsuit that I filed this morning on behalf of Mr. Butowsky.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger

 

From TY CLEVENGER,
Plaintiff,
vs.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, et al

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR STAY

“At the telephone hearing held on October 18, 2019, the parties discussed public
statements made by Deborah Sines, the retired prosecutor who was formerly assigned to the Seth Rich murder case in Washington, D.C. The Court noted that Ms. Sines’s statements were not made under oath, further suggesting that the Plaintiff might try to obtain a sworn statement from Ms. Sines. The Plaintiff represents Ed Butowsky of Plano, Texas in some related cases pending
in the Eastern District of Texas, see Edward Butowsky v. Michael Gottlieb, et al., Case No. 4:19-cv-00180 (E.D.Tex.) and Edward Butowsky v. David Folkenflik, et al., Case No. 4:18-cv-00442, and the undersigned intends to subpoena Ms. Sines for a deposition.1 For that reason, the Plaintiff moves the Court to stay this case until the deposition of Ms. Sines can be arranged and the transcripts can be produced. The Plaintiff conferred with counsel for the Defendants via
email on October 24, 2019, and they do not oppose this request.

Separately, the Plaintiff requests that the Court take judicial notice of recent
developments in two other cases. In a reply filed on October 24, 2019 in United States v. Michael T. Flynn, Case No. 1:17-cr-00232-EGS (D.D.C.), attorney Sidney Powell laid out damning evidence that high-ranking FBI officials systematically tampered with records and hid exculpatory evidence for the purpose of framing the defendant, retired General Mike Flynn. The
reply itself is sealed, but Ms. Powell publicly posted a redacted version online, and the Plaintiff has attached a copy as Exhibit 1. The Plaintiff requests that the Court take judicial notice of that attachment or obtain a copy of the reply (and its exhibits) directly from the D.C. court.

As the Court is probably aware, the criminal charges against General Flynn are an integral part of the “Russian collusion” allegations against the Trump Administration, and allegations about Seth Rich are part of the same story.”

“It appears that the FBI was willing to conceal records and tamper with evidence in order to frame a highly-decorated former military officer, all for the purpose of promoting and protecting the “Russian collusion” narrative. Likewise, it appears that DOJ was willing to hide records related to “Russian collusion” in order to conceal the misconduct of senior FBI and DOJ officials. Taken together, these developments cast new light on the FBI’s refusal to search for
records about Seth Rich in the locations where they most likely would be found, i.e., it appears to be yet another attempt to conceal evidence related to the “Russian collusion” allegations.”

Sidney Powell for Michael Flynn request for Joseph Mifsud data and other Brady material, Government response October 29, 2019, “not…material to the defendant’s guilt”???

Sidney Powell for Michael Flynn request for Joseph Mifsud data and other Brady material, Government response October 29, 2019, “not…material to the defendant’s guilt”???

“Mr. McCabe pointed to Mr. Flynn’s “very public interactions with Vladimir Putin and other Russians.” These “interactions” seem to have arisen from the work of CIA/FBI operatives Stefan Halper and Joseph Mifsud”…Sidney Powell motion October 25, 2019

“Instead of doing so, the government has continued to defy its
constitutional, ethical and legal obligations to this Court and to the defense, and to hide evidence that it knows exonerates Mr. Flynn. As is the essence of the problem here, instead of protecting its citizens, the “government” is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives.”…Attorney Sidney Powell October 23, 2019

Mueller, as a matter of determined policy, omitted key steps which any honest investigator would undertake. He did not commission any forensic examination of the DNC servers. He did not interview Bill Binney. He did not interview Julian Assange. His failure to do any of those obvious things renders his report worthless.”…Craig Murray

 

I guess the prosecutors in the US v Michael Flynn case are desperate (or just corrupt and covering each other’s asses).

A pre law or for that matter average middle school student could blow their latest argument out of the water.

Attorney Sidney Powell will.

And the judge, if not too corrupt, should see it as another prosecution ploy to subvert justice.

From the motions:

“The United States of America, by and through its undersigned counsel, respectfully files this response to defendant Michael Flynn’s Motion to Produce Newly Discovered Brady Evidence, United States v. Flynn, 17-cr-232 (Doc. 124) (D.D.C. Oct. 15, 2019). In the motion, the defendant requests information pertaining to two phones that allegedly “were used by Mr.Joseph Mifsud” and are allegedly in the possession of the government. Id. at 2. According to the
defendant, the phones contain information on individuals tasked against the defendant as early as 2014. Id. 1

The requested materials are not favorable and material to the defendant’s guilt or punishment, or even relevant to this criminal case.”

https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.191592/gov.uscourts.dcd.191592.130.0_8.pdf

“In an extraordinary reversal, the defendant now claims that he is innocent of the criminal charge in this case. See, e.g., Reply at 2 (“When the Director of the FBI, and a group of his close associates, plot to set up an innocent man and create a crime . . . .”). For the first time, the defendant represents to this Court that he “was honest with the agents [on January 24, 2017] to the best of his recollection at the time.” Reply at 23. He makes this claim despite having admitted his guilt, under oath, before two federal judges (including this Court). The defendant also argues—based almost entirely on evidence previously provided in discovery—that the government engaged in “conduct so shocking to the conscience and so inimical to our system of justice that it requires the dismissal of the charges [sic] for outrageous government conduct.”
Reply at 2. The Reply then seeks a new category of relief, that “this Court . . . dismiss the entire prosecution for outrageous government misconduct.”1
Reply at 32.”

From Sidney Powell’s motion filed October 25, 2019.

The Mueller Report established that there was no conspiracy between anyone in the Trump campaign and Russia. It is also apparent now, or will be upon the release of the FISA report of the Inspector General, that the FBI and DOJ had no legal basis to obtain a FISA warrant against Carter Page or to investigate Mr. Flynn.13 Yet, the government wants us to accept its word that the defense has everything to which it is entitled. Fortunately Brady exists to protect the accused
“from the prosecutor’s private deliberations, as the chosen forum for ascertaining the truth about criminal accusations.” Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419, 440 (1995).

While Flynn was cooperating extensively on all issues the Special Counsel wanted to address, the government has trickled out productions over the last year that reveal many things. Ex. 15. Some of the most notable include : (i) the original notes of the agents differ materially from the 302s; (ii) there were material alterations to the 302s to set up the “false statements,” and (iii)
the government has extensive reports of Mr. Flynn’s briefings and debriefings on all his foreign contacts—including his Russia trip and his meeting with Turkish officials—giving lie yet again to the public pretext of the FBI “investigation” of Mr. Flynn. Further, what is still a heavily redacted 302 for former Agent Strzok, since January 2017, the government knew, but still has not disclosed the full statements and notes that show Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said the interview of Mr. Flynn was “problematic,” and she was “unclear” why the FBI was investigating or interviewing Mr. Flynn at all.”

“12 Mr. McCabe pointed to Mr. Flynn’s “very public interactions with Vladimir Putin and other Russians.” These “interactions” seem to have arisen from the work of CIA/FBI operatives Stefan Halper and Joseph Mifsud, and bookings made by Mr. Flynn’s American speakers’ bureau,
Leading Authorities (which books engagements for countless former government officials and prominent people). Leading Authorities booked him for three events with “Russian connections”: one in Moscow for RT and two in Washington. All were well attended by prominent persons from
around the world because of the important issues discussed and the presence of other recognized experts on the programs. See Ex. 14; MTC 4, 16.

Mifsud was present at the RT dinner in Moscow, and it is his cell phones recently obtained by the government that are expected to confirm that he was working for “western intelligence.” Dkt. 124.

Stefan Halper is a known long-time operative for the CIA/FBI. He was paid exorbitant sums by the FBI/CIA/DOD through the Department of Defense Department’s Office of Net Assessment in 2016. His tasks seem to have included slandering Mr. Flynn with accusations of having an affair with a young professor (a British national of Russian descent) Flynn met at an official dinner
at Cambridge University when he was head of DIA in 2014. Flynn has requested the records of Col. James Baker because he was Halper’s “handler” in the Office of Net Assessment in the Pentagon, and ONA Director Baker regularly lunched with Washington Post Reporter David Ignatius. Baker is believed to be the person who illegally leaked the transcript of Mr. Flynn’s calls to Ignatius. The defense has requested the phone records of James Clapper to confirm his contacts with Washington Post reporter Ignatius—especially on January 10, 2017, when Clapper told Ignatius in words to the effect of “take the kill shot on Flynn.” It cannot escape mention that the press has long had transcripts of the Kislyak calls that the government has denied to the defense.
MTC 34, 35, 37.”

Attorney General Barr:

Julian Assange is being persecuted in Belmarsh Prison.

He is being kept there by the deep state.

He has already stated that the Russians were not the source of the DNC leaks.

He knows the source of the leaks.

He is the key non government witness.

Ellen Ratner, sister of a former Assange attorney met with Julian Assange and he told her the leaks were done by an insider.

Allowing Assange to languish in prison, further deteriorate and possibly die is not only a human rights violation but another travesty in the Justice Department handling of cases.

John Durham has apparently begun a criminal prosecution.

Julian Assange’s safety should have already been secured.

Promise him immunity and release him now.

Sidney Powell brief sealed redacted released soon aims for dismissal of General Flynn case or more Brady material, October 22, 2019, Hannity interview

Sidney Powell brief sealed redacted released soon aims for dismissal of General Flynn case or more Brady material, October 22, 2019, Hannity interview

The FBI clearly has records pertaining to Seth Rich, and it has withheld those
records in bad faith.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger October 11, 2019

“Given the material defense counsel has requested, which remains outstanding, Mr. Van Grack’s denial that further Brady material exists is patently absurd. It demonstrates arrogance and utter contempt for the letter and the spirit of this Court’s explicit order, the rule of Brady v. Maryland, and the protections guaranteed to defendants by the U.S. Constitution.”…US v. Flynn motion to compel production of Brady Material 

“McCabe had a role in crafting the “insurance policy” in the event Mr. Trump was elected.  Expect to find Comey a part of that also.”…Attorney Sydney Powell

 

Sean Hannity interviewed General Michael Flynn attorney Sidney Powell on his October 22, 2019 show.

During the interview Powell stated:

“We have filed a brief just as of noon today that is quite revealing. It’s very powerful and I think it’s going to make a huge difference. Judge Sullivan can see exactly what’s been going on from this. I think he’ll have every grounds he needs to either go ahead and dismiss the case for egregious government misconduct right now or at the very least give us a significant amount of Brady information that the government has long been hiding. There’s even a valid basis to hold the prosecutors in contempt of court for ignoring his very clear Brady order. We’ve caught them in some significant outrageous violations. Right now the brief is under seal. We’ve forwarded it to the government for their agreement to redact certain things that are still subject to a protective order but we’re hoping to resolve that before the end of the day today because it is quite stunning.”

“Julian Assange is a Thought Criminal and like the main character, Winston in “1984”, is being broken down psychologically.”…Citizen Wells

 

From RT.

“‘I can’t think properly’: Assange disoriented as court rejects delay for extradition proceedings

With his supporters rallying outside the court building, Julian Assange showed signs of exhaustion and psychological torment as his lawyer made a bid to delay US extradition proceedings – but the London court ruled against him.

Cleanly shaven and dressed in a navy suit, the WikiLeaks co-founder appeared before Westminster Magistrates Court on Monday to seek the postponement of an extradition hearing scheduled for February – but the impact of six months behind bars at London’s maximum security Belmarsh Prison have clearly taken a toll.

A weary Assange defiantly raised his fist to supporters in the public gallery, but the imprisoned Australian whistleblower understandably did not appear to be in good spirits. Reports from inside the court suggest that Assange, who shot to international prominence for revealing US war crimes, even struggled to say his own name and date of birth. He reportedly held back tears as he told the court that he couldn’t “think properly.””

“UN special rapporteur on torture Nils Melzer warned in July that Assange’s health was deteriorating in prison after visiting him with two medical experts to assess the extent of ill-treatment he has been facing.

Melzer said Assange showed all the symptoms typical “prolonged and sustained exposure to severe psychological stress, anxiety and related mental and emotional suffering” and that his cognitive and sensory capacity have been “significantly impaired.” Fellow Australian journalist John Pilger also spoke of Assange’s unabated “psychological torture” after a visit to Belmarsh in August, though their warnings have typically fallen on deaf ears among the UK media and officialdom.”

Mueller, as a matter of determined policy, omitted key steps which any honest investigator would undertake. He did not commission any forensic examination of the DNC servers. He did not interview Bill Binney. He did not interview Julian Assange. His failure to do any of those obvious things renders his report worthless.”…Craig Murray

FBI

US Attorney Deborah Sines

Michael Isikoff

Somebody(s) is lying.

Lie definition (noun)

“anything that gives or is meant to give a false impression.”

From a Michael Isikoff report July 9, 2019.

“To me, having a foreign intelligence agency set up one of my decedents with lies and planting false stories, to me that’s pretty outrageous,” said Deborah Sines, the former assistant U.S. attorney in charge of the Rich case until her retirement last year.”

“The conspiracy claims reached their zenith in May 2017 — the same week as Mueller’s appointment as special counsel in the Russia probe — when Fox News’ website posted a sensational story claiming that an FBI forensic report had discovered evidence on Rich’s laptop that he had been in communication with WikiLeaks prior to his death.”

“In fact, the Fox story was a “complete fabrication,” said Sines, who consulted with the FBI about the Fox News claims. There was “no connection between Seth and WikiLeaks.”

The following questions demand an answer:

  1. Did Sines state “no connection between Seth and WikiLeaks”?
  2. Did Sines arrive at that conclusion after consulting with the FBI?
  3. Was there a FBI forensic report with evidence on Rich’s laptop that he had been in communication with WikiLeaks prior to his death.?
  4. Was there other evidence or other FBI investigations into Seth Rich’s contact with WikiLeaks?

We deserve answers and Attorney Ty Clevenger is seeking them.

From the

MOTION TO COMPEL FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION TO
COMPLY WITH SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM

Filed by Attorney Ty Clevenger on October 11, 2019.

“1. The FBI clearly has records pertaining to Seth Rich, and it has withheld those records in bad faith.”

“In August of 2019, Michael Isikoff of Yahoo!News published the fifth episode of
“Conspiracyland,” a podcast series about the murder of Seth Rich, and in that episode he interviewed former Asst. U.S. Attorney Deborah Sines. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia had assigned Ms. Hines to investigate the murder of Mr. Rich, and a full copy of the interview can be found at https://tunein.com/podcasts/News–
Politics-Podcasts/Conspiracyland-p1231856/?topicId=132591823. In Episode 5, Mr. Isikoff discussed a Fox News report that the FBI had copies of communications between Seth Rich and Wikileaks:
Isikoff: “As soon as she heard the [Fox News] story, Sines reached out to the FBI.”

Sines: “Of course I did. Of course I did.”

Isikoff: “And what did they tell you?”

Sines: “No.”

Isikoff: “No.”

Sines: “No. No connection between Seth and Wikileaks. And there was no
evidence on his work computer of him downloading and disseminating things
from the DNC.”

Isikoff: “As it turned out, there was one sliver of truth in the Fox story. The FBI
had been examining Seth’s computer, not for any ties to the DNC emails or
Wikileaks, but because they saw unusual activity by a foreign hacker after his
death.”

Sines: “There were allegations that someone, maybe more than one person, was
trying to invade Seth’s Gmail account and set up a separate account after Seth was murdered, and the FBI was looking into that. I presumed they were trying to
create a fake Gmail account or get into Seth’s Gmail account so they could dump
false information in there.”

Isikoff: “So just to be clear, the FBI had only investigated an attempt to hack into
Seth Rich’s email when they saw activity after he died. When we contacted the
Bureau’s Washington Field Office, a spokesperson said it had never opened an
investigation into the DNC staffer’s death, pointing out that the FBI had no
jurisdiction over local crimes. Andrew McCabe, the Bureau’s acting director at
the time, told us something else. He had personally reached out to his agents
when he heard the Seth Rich conspiracy stories and was informed there was
nothing to them. There was no ‘there’ there, McCabe said he was told.” (emphasis added).
Transcript of Excerpt, Conspiracyland, Episode 5 (emphasis added).2

In other words, Mr. Hardy’s claim that the FBI had no records about Seth Rich was false. And the fact that the FBI refused to search in CART, the place where responsive records most likely would be found, is strong evidence of bad faith.”

From the US Justice Department response to Attorney Ty Clevenger’s motion:

“Defendants’ fully briefed motion for summary judgment and opposition to Plaintiff’s motion to enjoin compliance or permit discovery were filed on October 1, 2019. Dkt. ##33-42; see Dkt. #32. On October 8, 2019, Plaintiff filed the instant motion concerning one of the two responses by the FBI to his FOIA requests that still remain at issue.1 Despite the FBI having amply demonstrated that it conducted searches reasonably designed to locate responsive records if any existed, Plaintiff persists in maintaining that the FBI must have
records concerning a deceased individual, Seth Conrad Rich (“Rich”), and that he should be permitted to conduct discovery related to his FOIA request. Dkt. #44 at 3-4. In addition, Plaintiff asks this Court to conduct an evidentiary hearing and compel the attendance of David Hardy (the FBI declarant and Section Chief of the FBI Record/Information Management Division) and “the CART chief” as witnesses. Dkt. #44 at 4.”

“In conclusion, Plaintiff has not shown bad faith on the part of the FBI that would warrant discovery or provide tangible evidence that summary judgment in favor of Defendants is otherwise appropriate. Accordingly, the Court should deny Plaintiff’s motion to supplement and his request that the Court permit him to conduct discovery.”

This is barely being covered.

It is my duty to spread the word.

From WilliamBowles, a WSWS interview and a “Candles 4 Assange” video.

“JULIAN HAS REACHED A POINT WHERE HE MAY DIE”—ASSANGE’S FATHER JOHN SHIPTON SPEAKS WITH THE WSWS

“On Thursday the WSWS met John Shipton, Julian Assange’s father, in Berlin to talk about the condition of his son’s jailing in the maximum security Belmarsh Prison in London. The day before Shipton had given a press conference and addressed the weekly “Candles 4 Assange” rally in Berlin, to inform the public about his son’s illegal imprisonment and demand his freedom.”

“Shipton, who had visited his son just before traveling to Berlin, described the gruesome situation he is facing in Belmarsh.

“Julian was sentenced to 50 weeks in jail for minor infringements in a maximum-security prison in solitary confinement for 22 to 23 hours a day. There is a limitation of visitations which is two social visits for two hours. So those two hours, you can imagine, are very, very precious things. The Belmarsh prison is quite a way out and the requirements of registration are complex. That is his day to day situation.”

Shipton explained that his son has basically no access to any information. “There are restrictions on access to the library, access to the gym and access to computers. So, in order to prepare for his case, he has no access to the library, no access to computers and no access to the internet. He has no access to information at all.”

Due to his deteriorating health—Shipton said his son has lost 15 kilos since his imprisonment in Belmarsh—Assange has been transferred to the hospital ward of the prison.

“There he is still in isolation 23 hours a day but now he can have three visits a week. This is some improvement but still it’s a Grade A maximum-security jail. And Julian is a Grade B prisoner. His health has been declining and has reached a point where he may die. This a man who has done nothing. Julian is a journalist like you. He has made an immense contribution to world journalism. WikiLeaks has made immense contributions, unbeatable contributions.””

“Shipton denounced the fact that his son is being held in a maximum prison for supposedly having breached the Bail Act. “Julian cannot be charged for bail skipping because he is an asylee and every asylee falls under conventions which the UK has signed. Julian is a journalist.”

He added that “every journalist has an interest that the truth of Julian’s situation being put before their editors every day. Newspapers should have a great interest in Assange because also their freedom to publish and to investigate will be constrained and is being constrained. I understand that the World Socialist Web Site is being reduced by over 40 percent in its traffic by Google and search engines. This is repression of free speech. It is up to us and up to newspapers and news organisations to ensure that Julian is free. It is about the freedom to publish.””
