Our Leaders: They Don't Work for Justice and Truth

They work for themselves and for Israel. (Or maybe that should read: they work for Israel and for themselves. Israel always comes first...oops! And Ukraine, too, these days!).

Quote: "Another revealing similarity between the Assange and Israel cases is that both are in front of the courts only because Washington has dug in its heels and refused to resolve the legal issues, despite their deeply ominous implications. Were the US to withdraw its extradition request, Assange could be set free immediately. The oppressive cloud hanging over the future of a free society, one that has the right and ability to hold its officials to account for wrongdoing, would instantly lift. Basic freedoms, such as those enshrined in the First Amendment of the US Constitution, are being shredded only because a consensus reigns among the US political class – from Democrats to Republicans – to snuff out such rights."
