Breaking: Possible Hand-Over Of Julian Assange To The UK May Be Imminent

What happens in a world without Julian Assange?

It seems we may be in the unthinkable position of facing such a reality, after WikiLeaks Tweeted regarding the recent statement of Margarita Simonyan, RT’s Editor-in-chief. Her message read (In English): “My sources tell me that Julian Assange will be handed over to the UK in the next weeks or days. Like never before I wish that my sources are wrong’.’

It would turn leaks and whistleblowing into treason. It would shroud in total secrecy the actions of the ruling global elites.”

As described by Hedges, Western legacy press has become analogous to the attack dogs of the establishment, especially since the 2016 US Presidential election cycle, becoming almost rabid following the loss of Clinton to Trump. Their predatory focus on Assange – as opposed to their defense of his right to publish as a journalist – has astounded many and forced...Read More HERE
