There's a miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighty vast population of pretend followers of Christ in the U.S. who ignore ALL of that, and ALL of these teachings are in play in the heroic actions of Manning and Assange, and the violations of these teachings in the injustices done to Assange and Manning, who actually exemplified, by their actions, these beliefs.
I explained this to my family and they had no clue what Wikileaks or assange was. After explaining, they didn’t care. If we let this happen to one person, it won’t be long before it happens to you.
John B . What can we do? First, decide who "we" are. Second, whomever "we" are would need to make sacrifices, like discontinue paying federal taxes, on principle, then endure the consequences. Not paying taxes out of greed is apparently healthy and patriotic, but to refuse to pay them out of principle, en masse, is the only form of protest that can create waves.

THank you, Daniel for your sacrifice for freedom. You are an American hero! Solitary confinement should be banned, the worst torture ever invented. Exactly, his only hope is for every newspaper, tv statio, etc in the world to condemn this egregious inhmane act by Ecuador, UK, Australis and the USA - this is horrific! No man will ever be free again.
They won't: some are bought, some are silenced, some are scared into silence, and some genuinely think that the USA is the best superpower ever existed, so for one reason or another all the Western press wholeheartedly supports the US no matter what they do.
@@StreetsOfVancouverChannel I was speaking re: the law. I don't think we have any "semantic" laws. We should however, demand a public jury trial with this one.
@@StreetsOfVancouverChannel Assange is a publisher. A whistleblower is someone WITHIN an organization who reveals wrong doing. A publisher is a person or business that produces and distributes something, such as a book or magazine, in printed or electronic form.
Whistleblower is a legal definition. He didn't work the entity being whitleblown on. That means he can't have the legal protection that being a whistleblower provides.
RD Patterson Fascism is here now, it is over unless people act promptly - martial law has already been planned. I honestly feel ill today, anyone with children or grandchildren does.
A whistleblower is a person who exposes any kind of information or activity that is deemed illegal, unethical, or not correct within an organization that is either private or public. The information of alleged wrongdoing can be classified in many ways: violation of company policy/rules, law, regulation, or threat to public interest/national security, as well as fraud, and corruption.

not likely. more like msm outlets will be patting themselves on the back for pushing agenda and propaganda, whilst simultaneously comparing themselves to TRUE journalism like wikileaks/assange
This is such an outrage. Not just the fascists arresting a journalist for doing journalism, but people, journalists themselves are cheering this on. I'm angry.

See Josh Bernstein Show, Ecuador received $4bn and $6bn loans from IMF and World Bank day before the arrest - blood money! THE PLAN TO SAVE THE WORLD MAGA MEGA WWG1WGA
You seem to forget that both Assange and Snowden were originally targeted by the whistleblower persecution policies of the Obama administration which is why they both were forced to seek asylum. It doesn’t matter which side is in power the song remains substantially the same.

Correa, the former leader of Ecuador, who gave Assange asylum, gave a speech today where he stated that the reason Washington finally moved against him was he had started to publicize proof of the corruption of the Trump family.
@David Renton Thanks for the info; I wasn't aware of that fact. Since I made my initial comment I have also learned that Assange had also just started to publicize proof of the massive corruption of Mareno and his family. Another peculiar detail, Assange is Australian, not American. The implication is that the US is going to start extraditing foreign citizens of client states who publish things Washington doesn't like. Everything that Assange and Manning were originally exposing were crimes committed by the US Government. None of it harmed national security. The lesson here is that it is now considered a crime to expose the crimes of those in power.
@@myleschilton3473 It had to do with the corrupt business practices of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Many people had already been talking about it but he was apparently the first to present actual documentation to back the charges up.
And as happened after Eugene Debs was released after 3 years of a 10-year sentence in prison. He was a shell of a man & dead of heart failure from imprisonment 5 years later. Comments here say we will be praising Assange in 100 years as a hero. But barely anyone remembers Debs today, exactly 100 years after his trial. May Day 1919 riots in the streets erupted all over America in support of Debs, who said at his trial: "Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." (Debs ran for President as the Socialist Party nominee from prison in 1920 & won almost 1 million votes.)
What do people do when they realize that they are under the aegis of a criminal government? Perhaps time will tell. I wish for the best, but expect the worst.
This is a symptom that representative democracy is no longer fit for purpose and needs to be replaced with participatory democracy where we vote for policies, not people, and do away with all politicians forever.
I personally don't like Julian Assange, that being said this is a sad day for freedom of the press, and the first amendment. If he is found guilty, this is the beginning of the end of our so called democracy.
'He went cursed and blessed, cursed by the past, blessed by the future; and these, gentlemen, are the two superb forms of glory.' Victor Hugo on Voltaire

Sanders's mayoral office had a plaque commemorating Eugene Debs. Exactly 100 years ago, May Day 1919, Americans all over the country rose up & rioted in support of Debs after his trial, conviction & imprisonment for sedition. We need to remind Bernie that we have not forgotten this... that he must NOW remember his own personal hero. There will be no second chance. Hell, there may not be an election for him to campaign for, if today is any indication of what is coming.
Sen. Gabbard already did - she was right! A direct assault on freedom of the press. I think she was talking 'Old school" reporting - which has gone the way of the dodo in the corrupt USA. Just watch their so-called main-stream media - they are ALL creaming their shorts - just like good little toadies to their corporate owners. Pathetic.
When I ask people if they know what happened to Assange, they often answer thus: "Oh, is that the guy in Russia?" People just DON'T KNOW. Thanks for using your platform to help Julian. We won't get this unless we work together. Unity4J has good info too. Help us will you? Thank you again for this excellent information.
The book Assange held when they carried him out of the embassy. - from Amazon: In Gore Vidal: History of the National Security State & Vidal on America, TRNN Senior Editor Paul Jay and the acclaimed essayist, screenwriter and novelist Gore Vidal discuss the historical events that led to the establishment of the massive military-industrial-security complex and the political culture that gave us the “Imperial Presidency.”
Outrage is useless against Raw Power of the establishment. The only effective weapon ordinary people have is their pocketbook. It is time to demonstrate that power. I will not buying Chilean or British products. Others should do what their conscience dictates.
I'll tell you what would work: a General Strike. May Day 1919 millions of Americans took to the streets, protested & rioted in support of Eugene Debs after his trial, conviction & imprisonment. We've forgotten how this is done.
They sold their rights years ago - after B. clinton allowed just 6 corporations to own ALL main-stream media. trump is just the end of a long line of corrupt presidents.
Wow. Both pipeline choking and taking over mouse control from me while trying to watch this video. Looking forward to seeing every Congress person (or WH occupant that ever signed such laws) who has ever proposed or voted in favor of a Whistleblower protection Law being arrested for "encouraging whistleblowing" - since, unlike these, their acts are an uncontested matter of public record.
to say that the current British establishment has little respect for law is an understatement. The British tradition - and American only by extension - of human, political and individual rights are after all arguably the most exalted in the world. The current British government's facile and apparently gleeful willingness to trash that centuries old tradition in a craven attempt to appease their American deep state overlords is epochal. This doesn't even begin to be about Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange, this is about the role of Anglo-American culture in the world today and beyond. It is not possible to overstate the respect and veneration with which British culture has been held in the far flung cultures of the world. Consider the role of non British citizens in the overblown property market in London. When that is gone, the British empire will look like a freak of nature, the epitome of misplaced values, hope and ambition. The appetite for replacing entirely that misplaced trust will be immeasurable
As Graeber has pointed out the left needs to value and fight to protect the 1st amendment as the NRA, Joseph Rogan, Ted Nugent, Alex Jones and other gun lovers of the right do the 2nd.
It was on 11 April 2919 JUAN ASSANGE, AUTHENTIC HERO of the TRUTH and of HUMAN DIGNITY, since this morning, dragging the CROSS of his TRUTH, walks erect and with the forehead in high in his way to the GOLGOTA. The betrayal of the paralytic JUDAS has left its body and its destiny in the hands of the IMPERIAL CORTE and its SOUL OF WARRIOR suffers the blows of the SIONAZISMO ANGLOSAJON and its lashes without batting an eye. On the corporate media screens you hear the cries, CRUCIFICADLO. But, from their homes and sources of work, the peoples of the world OBSERVE EVERYTHING, PROMISING themselves NOT TO FORGET EVER.
3 Question : our government knew about the illegal crimes abroad but what did they do to stop them before Assange exposed it ???? is national security complicit by calling these doc. classify ??? taking human lifes that our innocent is wrong & amoral trying to cover it up definition of IT!!!! who is complicit & who order the actions to do it??? That's what we need to know!!!!!
The US government actually passed a law after the collateral murder video was released, it stated that should any American be arrested and tried and interned in the Hague they had the legal right to invade and release the convicts.
I have read that if he walked out it would not be as much of a contravention of international law? So he made sure he resisted and had to be carried out.
That is why the charges are being so carefully crafted. Once Assange is safely disappeared, then the fascists can get to work on the real trashing of the 1st Amendment in the 2nd term. This is just a warm-up & another bit of red meat for the base in the campaign. tRump's brownshirts will have no more memory of Assange as their "hero" in 2016 than tRump showed today. Despite all the hideous things we heard spewing from tRump's sphincter-like mouth during the 2016 campaign & every "rally" since, I expect the language after the conventions will top anything we've heard yet... or can conceive. Threats against political opposition will be as virulent as Hitler's incitements in 1932. The days of dog-whistles & coded speech will be over.
I appreciate you putting on Daniel, could not be more timely. Great reporting, but he's a scrupulous publisher and journalist. Clearly Assange isn't a whistle blower unless you play the hand of the CIA
Morano,has granted lucrative mining concessions to western mining companies,.... I guess it's the price Morano had to pay for US assistance in his election
Sharmini, Thank you for covering this and we must give Jullian all the support necessary. One small thing, when you put the accent on the second syllable of Daniel's name it becomes a girl's name. Customarily, the man's version has the accent on the first syllable:-) Not a big deal, but distracting to listeners who are used to hearing it the other way. We must have correct grammar while fighting fascism!
I have got to tip my hat to Chelsea Manning for her courage and loyalty, many people in her position would have crumbled long ago, and this evil government is continually trying to break her. Manning physically and mentally is much stronger than the average Joe Blow. Courage people like Daniel Ellsberg and Julian Assange are freedom fighters. You guys are our heroes!
The UK did not extradite Pinochet to face his crimes, but is very happy to do the bidding of the US in this case. Shame on the UK!

Sen. Gabbard already did - she was right! A direct assault on freedom of the press. I think she was talking 'Old school" reporting - which has gone the way of the dodo in the corrupt USA. Just watch their so-called main-stream media - they are ALL creaming their shorts - just like good little toadies to their corporate owners. Pathetic.
Assange and Manning: two brave heroes!
Darius Sarrafi And Snowden.
@@dcabana1 And Snowden!
We are all Julian Assange!
"an unprecedented case, extradition for committing journalism"
Can't believe this is happening
Why don't our legislators & President use the USA constitution for toilet paper.
the empyrean they have.
When I ask people if they know what happened to Assange, they often answer thus: "Oh, is that the guy in Russia?" People just DON'T KNOW. Thanks for using your platform to help Julian. We won't get this unless we work together. Unity4J has good info too. Help us will you? Thank you again for this excellent information.
So sad to see what America turning into?
This is what it looks like when an empire, based on a fiat currency, crumbles. These are very dangerous times folks!
There has never been "Press Freedom".
The book Assange held when they carried him out of the embassy. - from Amazon: In Gore Vidal: History of the National Security State & Vidal on America, TRNN Senior Editor Paul Jay and the acclaimed essayist, screenwriter and novelist Gore Vidal discuss the historical events that led to the establishment of the massive military-industrial-security complex and the political culture that gave us the “Imperial Presidency.”
Outrage is useless against Raw Power of the establishment. The only effective weapon ordinary people have is their pocketbook. It is time to demonstrate that power. I will not buying Chilean or British products. Others should do what their conscience dictates.
Barter goods and whenever and wherever you can to minimize the taxes you pay.
I'll tell you what would work: a General Strike.
May Day 1919 millions of Americans took to the streets, protested & rioted in support of Eugene Debs after his trial, conviction & imprisonment.
We've forgotten how this is done.
This is the day FREEDOM OF THE PRESS DIED
Free Assange now
I hope this forces corporate media hacks to look in the mirror and come to terms with what they've become.
They sold their rights years ago - after B. clinton allowed just 6 corporations to own ALL main-stream media. trump is just the end of a long line of corrupt presidents.
A friend gave me a heads up about the book Assange was holding. Heh, heh. Made me come over here.
God bless you sir. For YOURE info !
Wow. Both pipeline choking and taking over mouse control from me while trying to watch this video. Looking forward to seeing every Congress person (or WH occupant that ever signed such laws) who has ever proposed or voted in favor of a Whistleblower protection Law being arrested for "encouraging whistleblowing" - since, unlike these, their acts are an uncontested matter of public record.
I'm pretty sure purging of the political opposition will be the next stage of this fascist hostile takeover
The beginning of 1984 world. Sad day this is.
Every one of those police that arrested Julian should be ashamed of themselves
Trump now saying that he doesn't know what Wikileaks is! Hypocrisy is not a strong enough word.
Mark Time . Do not worry, soon Trump won't know who Trump is, neither.
@@jossdionne9810 That will make Pompeo, Bolton and the rest of the psychos very happy
to say that the current British establishment has little respect for law is an understatement. The British tradition - and American only by extension - of human, political and individual rights are after all arguably the most exalted in the world. The current British government's facile and apparently gleeful willingness to trash that centuries old tradition in a craven attempt to appease their American deep state overlords is epochal. This doesn't even begin to be about Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange, this is about the role of Anglo-American culture in the world today and beyond. It is not possible to overstate the respect and veneration with which British culture has been held in the far flung cultures of the world. Consider the role of non British citizens in the overblown property market in London. When that is gone, the British empire will look like a freak of nature, the epitome of misplaced values, hope and ambition. The appetite for replacing entirely that misplaced trust will be immeasurable
Let him go!!!
As Graeber has pointed out the left needs to value and fight to protect the 1st amendment as the NRA, Joseph Rogan, Ted Nugent, Alex Jones and other gun lovers of the right do the 2nd.
Why now? Maybe they are afraid May's government will fall, and Jeremy Corbin would spring Assange.
It needs a Cromwell to visit the houses of parliament to sort them out.I do not see him
A sickening day for me too😭😭😭
Political Prisoners
Conspiracy to think critically makes you a criminal these days.
The real hero’s narrative should be taught to all of our children, the truth will create a better world...maybe?
Ignorance of the truth is lamentable and awareness of it can bear great risk.
It was on 11 April 2919
JUAN ASSANGE, AUTHENTIC HERO of the TRUTH and of HUMAN DIGNITY, since this morning, dragging the CROSS of his TRUTH, walks erect and with the forehead in high in his way to the GOLGOTA. The betrayal of the paralytic JUDAS has left its body and its destiny in the hands of the IMPERIAL CORTE and its SOUL OF WARRIOR suffers the blows of the SIONAZISMO ANGLOSAJON and its lashes without batting an eye. On the corporate media screens you hear the cries, CRUCIFICADLO. But, from their homes and sources of work, the peoples of the world OBSERVE EVERYTHING, PROMISING themselves NOT TO FORGET EVER.
3 Question : our government knew about the illegal crimes abroad but what did they do to stop them before Assange exposed it ???? is national security complicit by calling these doc. classify ??? taking human lifes that our innocent is wrong & amoral trying to cover it up definition of IT!!!! who is complicit & who order the actions to do it??? That's what we need to know!!!!!
The US government actually passed a law after the collateral murder video was released, it stated that should any American be arrested and tried and interned in the Hague they had the legal right to invade and release the convicts.
Overwhelm the paid trolls. The TRUTH will set us FREE! Talk of important things that matter. Ignore the trolls.
Thank you, Daniel, again. I remember when we were young. I'll kneel with Kap and stand with Julian.
If this stands, We are all next, including me, and even you in 2020
I have read that if he walked out it would not be as much of a contravention of international law? So he made sure he resisted and had to be carried out.
TRNN made history!
Freedom of the press
with this precedent, why are not the head of the Washington post & NYTimes not in jail;
That is why the charges are being so carefully crafted.
Once Assange is safely disappeared, then the fascists can get to work on the real trashing of the 1st Amendment in the 2nd term. This is just a warm-up & another bit of red meat for the base in the campaign. tRump's brownshirts will have no more memory of Assange as their "hero" in 2016 than tRump showed today.
Despite all the hideous things we heard spewing from tRump's sphincter-like mouth during the 2016 campaign & every "rally" since, I expect the language after the conventions will top anything we've heard yet... or can conceive. Threats against political opposition will be as virulent as Hitler's incitements in 1932. The days of dog-whistles & coded speech will be over.
@@julieannmyers8714 I'm afraid to admit you are so correct. It is the beginning of the end.
THE HOUSE OF CARDS IS FALLING
I appreciate you putting on Daniel, could not be more timely. Great reporting, but he's a scrupulous publisher and journalist. Clearly Assange isn't a whistle blower unless you play the hand of the CIA
Morano,has granted lucrative mining concessions to western mining companies,.... I guess it's the price Morano had to pay for US assistance in his election
Gore Vidal was a excellent writer. He's on my bookshelf.
I sincerely hope your bookshelf can take the weight
the day Journalism died.
And democracy with it
The US really pressures Ecuador president moreno to serve its empire
Question....Does protection rights guaranteed under the 1st Amendment apply to non-citizens of the USA?
I am not a Yank, but they will try to get him under the Espionage Act which overides the Constitution. The Banana Republic at work again. 😳
Protection of Rights doesn't even apply to people in the USA - unless you're a white-collar criminal.
a new low, dragged out of an embassy
Add the UK to Israel & Saudi Arabia with the US in the global totalitarian cabal.
@@julieannmyers8714 you is very correct
If we value what is left of our so called freedom of speech and the sacrifice Mr Assange has done for all of humanity we must stop these thugs NOW!!!
Correct!
Sharmini, Thank you for covering this and we must give Jullian all the support necessary. One small thing, when you put the accent on the second syllable of Daniel's name it becomes a girl's name. Customarily, the man's version has the accent on the first syllable:-) Not a big deal, but distracting to listeners who are used to hearing it the other way. We must have correct grammar while fighting fascism!
Time for wikileaks to get busy. Kill switch time.
Assange is beauty! #maga 😍
I have got to tip my hat to Chelsea Manning for her courage and loyalty, many people in her position would have crumbled long ago, and this evil government is continually trying to break her. Manning physically and mentally is much stronger than the average Joe Blow. Courage people like Daniel Ellsberg and Julian Assange are freedom fighters. You guys are our heroes!
Bravery is contagious.
