What a crazy world we live in. #JulianAssange faces up to 170 years in prison on 17 more charges merely for exposing US war crimes to the world.
Meanwhile, those who invaded #Iraq on a pack of lies not only still walk free, but are planning new wars against #Venezuela and #Iran.

Perhaps if #JulianAssange was languishing in a supermax prison somewhere in #Venezuela, #Iran or Russia, merely for revealing war crimes to the world, rather than the UK, then Western media, politicians and journalists would be calling for his immediate release night and day.

There are multiple instances of massive media corporations turning their huge megaphones & investigative powers onto ordinary citizens - exposing their identity, holding them up for vilification, trying to ruin their lives - because they have the wrong politics. It's power abuse.
Wow. Today marks the 29th straight weekend of huge anti-Putin marches in Russia.
Oops. Actually, it’s yet another massive anti-Macron rally by the #YellowVests in #France. Nothing to see here whatsoever. Just keep moving right along. #GiletsJaunes

The UN has warned that Julian Assange could still face the death penalty and has been exposed to psychological torture. If @realdonaldtrump doesn’t do something he truly is the enemy of a free press.
Imagine the international uproar if Julian Assange was rotting away in a Russian dungeon for the “crime” of mere journalism. But because he exposed US war crimes, he’s been unfarily persecuted and subjected to psychological torture for years, and the media’s cheering it on.
Rich coming from the man who promised “hope and change” but instead:
Expanded Bush’s 2 wars to 8;
Increased drone strikes 10 fold;
Maintained a Kill List;
Prosecuted more journalists than all his predecessors;
Used American taxpayer dollars to arm Al-Qaeda in Libya & Syria.

If Julian Assange helped promote the countless illegal US wars around the globe, then the media would be in an uproar over his imprisonment and illness.
But since he exposed US war crimes in Iraq and elsewhere, this very same media couldn’t give anything even resembling a damn.

When war criminals like John McCain or Bush Sr. die, Western media whitewashes their crimes and can’t stop singing their praises, but when #JulianAssange, a hero who exposed US war crimes to the world, is gravely ill, the same media is completely silent.
“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.”
