Free Julian Assange: Noam Chomsky, Dan Ellsberg & Jeremy Corbyn Lead Call at Belmarsh Tribunal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 січ 2023
- Former British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, famed linguist and dissident Noam Chomsky and others gave testimony Friday at the Belmarsh Tribunal in Washington, D.C., calling on President Biden to drop charges against Julian Assange. The WikiLeaks founder has been languishing for close to four years in the harsh Belmarsh prison in London while appealing extradition to the United States. If convicted in the United States, Julian Assange could face up to 175 years in jail for violating the U.S. Espionage Act for publishing documents that exposed U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Friday's event was held at the National Press Club and co-chaired by Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman. We spend the hour featuring compelling excerpts from the proceedings.

Julian Assange is a HERO!
By Tony the b liar
@garry davies ooh garry Davies oooh garry Davies on my radio 📻 😆 😄 🤣
a hero who lovvvvves Russia.
agreed!!!!!!!
@@ogamibirdflu5152 MSNBC owns your mind
Exposing war crimes shouldn't be criminalized the war criminals should be charged and brought to justice
Our government in the States is sooo hypocritical. Our great country is speaking about holding Putin accountable for his war crimes yet when it comes to the States being accountable that is somehow unfair and a bridge too far. Our government did a great job vilifying Assuage and others like Snowden in the States proving it is these people and groups like the CIA should be the ones on trial not “whistleblowers”
Assange is innocent unless proven guilty in the US. I would like to see a panel of legal experts showing how Assange can debunk the charges against him.
Just tony b liar to add next ...

What they are doing to Assange affects us all. He is the harbinger of what’s coming.
He is a Jesus of our times. He DARED to call out the evil of Authorities.
@@krystalklear7793 He is no Jesus. Jesus stood trial and defended himself with dignity - Assange hides from it and wouldn't even go to Sweden to defend the rape allegations. Don't you dare compare these two - shame on you
@@krystalklear7793 He’s the reason why Passover is Passover and not “Pushover”.
Thank you so much for covering this. Assange must be freed, the world's freedom is now at stake.
The greatest threat to an Empire of Lies is the Truth!
Assange has said that if he is extradited, he will take matters into his own hands. You know what that means, he will not survive it. FREE ASSANGE
👍🏼👍🏼
Oh well a lot of my people didn't survive tRump whom he helped in 2016 his life is not more value than theirs
Maybe he will release all the rest of the documents.
I would have done it years ago.
@@jamessones4044 I’m so confused lol please explain?

It is impossible to respect a man who sounds like that, with hands like that.
@@horustrismegistus1017 I understand, my prayers are for all of us, I’m sure we all need it. I try not to judge in this messed up world and sadly find that challenging
This is so vital a fight not just for a free press, a free man but also for democracy as a whole. Thank you Amy and all other the great citizens for their courage and efforts.

You are putting your faith in Democracy now you will be disappointed. At one time maybe but she fell into the Russia Collusion hate Trump propaganda bs
There are supposed to be 2 replies here, yet they're not showing. UA-cam censorship is so pervasive and obvious that they deserve to be closed and razed to the ground.
Thank you. You are truly beautiful people. Free Julian Assange.
Julian is pure inspiration,and brave angel.✨😺💖
I am glad y'all are finally on the right track about this subject.
If he does go to prison for the rest of his life more people need to step up and expose even more criminal government injustice and crimes against humanity.
Agreed! We must support freedom. I don't want to envision the alternative.
Assange is innocent unless proven guilty in the US. I would like to see a panel of legal experts showing how Assange can debunk the charges against him.
@@handmadehearts He is an inspiration, but we need to do it regardless.
@@coreycox2345 m. u94062redwood
Whether or not he goes to prison prison for the rest of his life, more people need to step up and expose even more criminal government injustice and crimes against humanity.
It is unbelievable how many cowardly people there are who say nothing and who do not dare to stand up for the truth, while I am extremely grateful for the few who actually do something to expose the real criminals. May God reward you for your efforts! ❤🙏
Being there, done that. Now it is your turn. I don't have any hope left and I became very cynical.
hope is one of the few things left. I wanted to buy land build a yurt and become a hermit when I was a teenager. I was the only black in school. but I'm still alive because of the people who didn't run away and give up
Amen
To Valhalla!
not to forget those who "were following orders" for spying, detaining, prosecuting, and judging Julian and Snowden.
They're the ones belonging in Belmarsh in my book.
But first, every president, attorney general, CIA director, secretary general, and their UK, Sweedish, and Australian government counterparts who failed their duty. And we often forget Obama and Hillary is on the list.
Thank you all for the work you're doing to get Julian Assange's freedom.
Thank you, Amy, for helping bring the truth to light. You are one of my most intrepid heroes ❤️ please be safe!
They no longer need to try Assange. They have already destroyed his life and had the chilling effect they wanted.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼excellent!
Fair Enough. It was a clever way to instill fear in a mostly cowardly press population.
@@paulheydarian1281 "cowardly press" please research the number of journalist who have lost their lives across the globe trying to investigate the truth.
@@deborahtucker4900
I was referring to the press in the Five or Six English Speaking Countries. Although, I'd probably Exclude the Republic of Ireland.
@@paulheydarian1281 Irish newspapers are very conservative and support either one of the two right wing political parties which have ruled that state since its beginning a century ago. You will not find any criticism of the United States in the Irish press.
If members of the press are not safe, neither are we ordinary citizens!😢
You said it.
It really depends, only some people from media are not safe. Many of them are safe enough and even work with agencies and interests group.
Whispering is lying , lying is a sin, etc. There are no secrets in a Democracy! If you can’t say it, your lying!
Hear, hear! Freedom of information. Free press. Down with autocracy.
Assange and Snowden are not the press. They are hackers and spies. Stfu with the bullshit.
Pleased to see the world has not forgotten Julian Assange nor the importance of free press!
Assange was Putin's useful idiot. He hasn't been forgotten by American law enforcement. His next stop may be ADX Florence. Assange might be deserving of sympathy if he'd done leaks and document dumps on his pal Putin and Putin's criminal regime. As it was, Putin's useful idiot and FSB tool did zero such leaks and document dumps.
Amen Amy and Noam we need more good work from everyone. We need truth to save us all.
This has and will continue to have a terrifying effect worldwide to crush what little democracy is left.
Thank you, Amy Goodman. What a great way to start 2023, with this Tribunal.
Hear, hear! The panel is LEGENDARY. Thank you Amy Goodman.
Democracy Now has an awful lot to answer and apologise for where Julian Assange is concerned. April 10th, 2017, Assange was effectively ambushed by Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzales and Alan Nairn. You can check out the Grayzone's recent coverage of this disgusting smear ' Why Democracy Now Sucks'. It makes for painful viewing, and Assange was extremely upset by it. These people owe him an apology. The fact that Amy Goodman is creeping back into the fray to portray herself and this channel as Assange's supporter is sickening.
Amy Goodman is apart of the CIA controlled opposition just look how she treated Assange over the Podesta emails or her commission of the NeoNazis in Ukraine...
@@Forthestate Minds change. Views change. Nobody is perfect. The message: Free Julian Assange. ASAP.
@@handmadehearts @Democracy Now! no longer does investigative journalism. Actual journalists have been banned from being interviewed here while conspiracy theorists have been welcomed. It’s embarrassing. This channel steers its opinion in the direction its large donors dictate.
Good job Amy! You've restored my faith in you! Keep up the good work.
Outstanding!!! Thank you for the work put into standing up for truth!!!
The most dangerous Person to any Government is the Person who is able to reason and think for themselves...
So........conservatives.
Because Liberalism is not an ideology. Liberalism is an inability to use logic and reason to understand how the counterintuitive nature of the universe works, so that a person falls back on their emotions to reach a conclusion.
Laissez Faire government and economics are counterintuitive ideas, Laffer curve, peace through strength, and building a strong state on strong individuals given individual liberty and expecting individual responsibility are conservative ideas. Conservative ideas are counterintuitive.
That is why there are no successful liberal talk radio shows. Liberals can't understand ideas without moving pictures or hand puppets to trigger their emotions.
Huge studies have been done where they asked thousands of people hundreds of questions and grouped them by their answers. People that ranked high in conscientiousness favored conservative policies. People that ranked low in conscientiousness favored liberal ideas. Meaning liberals have no intention of doing what is right or making sacrifices for the good of society.
Look up the traits of narcissists, they are exactly the same as liberals politicians, BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH DRIVEN IN TOTAL BY THEIR HATRED AND EMOTIONS.
those people do not exist however.
Assange is innocent unless proven guilty in the US. I would like to see a panel of legal experts showing how Assange can debunk the charges against him.
You forgot to mention establishment such as Big Corporations!
Theoretically, the best government would be only people who could reason and think for themselves, Bonita Roache73.
Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...unless it is not what the State wants to hear.
Yay! Kuntzler, ❤Cochran ❤ those two lawyers were two of Americas best in my lifetime! ❤❤❤😊
What is the value of FREEDOM OF SPEECH if "WE THE PEOPLE" can't speak truth to POWER???
Assange has sacrificed his life to expose evil. We owe him a debt of gratitude.
"It's a major change in our form of government." - Daniel Ellsberg
WOW. Just WOW.
For Julian: Let's add a fourth branch to our government called: THE PEOPLES BRANCH, and let's have this fourth branch allow people a full vote on all pending legislation. That way politicians will have to pay attention to what we really want.
You mean a revolution
You don't think they will let us peasants have that do you? Same way the "gave Women the Vote" They didn't. We TOOK it. They were still killing black people in Alabama in 1964 for trying to vote and even the Governor came right out and said they wouldn't.
@@survivormary1126 That's right, it would take a major shift. Here is the solution: Any number of states in our union have a "VOTER INITIATIVE" process which allows voters to put a law on the books themselves! We use this process in all 26 states that have it; at the state level. When it works we move for a Constitutional Amendment. We can do it if we show efficacy.
Silence governments by cleansing them out, by boycotting all voting. plus:::Assange was targeted by Killary-Kill-Team, after publishing her emails, leaked to assange by the Killary staffer who was murdered by her kill-team in DC!!!
@@kareemsalessi I feel you. But I think Simon De Beauvoir says it best when she talks about power, "The point is not for [people] simply to take power out of [their] hands, since that wouldn't change anything about the world. It's a question precisely of destroying that notion of power." Let's take back the store.
Crazy how DN! Has flipped on Assange, and how they STILL have not apologized for their ambush of the man years ago.
It's easy for them to flip now that Assange is broken and the example has been set.
The purpose of the whistleblowers act is precisely that, the problem is they never imagined they would also be whistleblowed!
True journalism……thank you!
Totally agree with you!
👍
You are all heroes telling the truth.
Thank you Democracy Now ! 🙏
Here we are, told to do the right thing, and look where Julian is. Someone has to keep the eyes and ears on the powerful, because they are not above the law. We should all be rioting over this. Freedom for Julian Assange.
People are distracted!👀
I love you Paula. Any yes I would love you if you were Paul too. I just can't believe we have come to this point. It's a true nightmare.
@@justdev8965 you have to ask yourself, who really committed harm in the world. It wasn't Julian Assange, he gave us a sense that someone cares about the world. They need to free him and make this better.
Americans worship the comforts of capitalism....AKA...Mammon.
WOW! What an awesome line up of true Character to have on your side: Chomsky, Sterling, Ellsberg, and Corbyn! Courageous sources, indeed! Free Julian, or there will be no free press
If Noan Chomsky is for it, you know it's a really bad idea. Chomsky is a pure liberal. Driven in total by his hatred and emotions.
It's because Liberalism is not an ideology. Liberalism is an inability to use logic and reason to understand how the counterintuitive nature of the universe works, so that a person falls back on their emotions to reach a conclusion.
Laissez Faire government and economics are counterintuitive ideas, Laffer curve, peace through strength, and building a strong state on strong individuals given individual liberty and expecting individual responsibility are conservative ideas. Conservative ideas are counterintuitive.

Indeed.
@@practicaliching2311
So let's me think. When it comes to other countries who commit war crimes and journalists report that it's news and prosecution follows. But when the United States committed war crimes, its treason??
So, the United States committed war crimes , kept secrets about that, and the journalists are the criminals??
Free Julian Assange ASAP. Support FREEDOM. Period.
Thanks and solidarity to you all. May Julian and family be well. Free him.
all of them speak incredibly well. not one extra word to delete.
Thank you, always Amy. This was an incredible panel. We all stand together for the freedom of Julian Assange. 🗽🌏
America is a credible that no one can drop a dime on.

He merits freedom when and only when his charges are heard, evidence presented, and he is judged. To free him or anyone before due process is lawlessness and ludicrous.
Thank you so much, Amy, for co-chairing this Panel and airing these speakers in SUPPORT of Julian Assange.
Amy Goodman is not acting accordingly to this information, she supports the US Military Complex and Regime change wars.
Amy Goodman .
.. you exemplify truth & honor in your role as a news reporter ! Thank-you! ! !
Belmarsh Tribunal is truly an eye opening event to maintain our freedom and free speech, this is a lesson that younger generation should be made aware of, save our country and save the world through truthful and courageous regular citizens . Free Mr. Assange.
God bless you Democracy Now. Pray for Assange and the human rights of the public to know.
Thank you for talking about this. So many in media ignoring it
Wonderful to listen to. At night here in NZ! Thanks. J.
Yes! Thanks for bringing this to point! I wish I matters. Our world deserves justice.
Heroes. And everyone standing up-heroes.
Julian/Snowden and Many more should be FREE!! FREE PRESS SHALL NOT DIE!!
Snowden is free. Living his best life in Russia. 🤔 while completely silent on putins attack on Ukraine. 🤔 🤔
If free press dies, freedom is finished. The former guy wanted, & still wants, to jail journalists. He's sad & constantly butt-hurt. Also pathetic. Plus, he will never hold public office again. Watch and see. SUPPORT FREEDOM. FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. Down with autocracy.
@@wkzeier what he is supposed to say? About the 8 years of neo nazis battalions attacking Russians civilians while being armed and trained by NATO? Or about sending billions for the ukranian clown by the american clown fomenting a war in europe? Go back watching your CNN and FOX News, dummy
People with integrity get put in prison!
Julian Assange is a real hero and definitely should be recognised as one.
If there were a citizen’s Crime Stopper’s Law for Catching federal crimes he would be rewarded not prosecuted.
Astounding with excellence. My deep deep thanks to Democracy Now for this video.
The United States does not and never has had a democracy. America was founded as a constutional republic not a democracy. The founding fathers did not want democracy because a democracy leads to tyranny and fascism! Unfortunately tyranny and fascism has prevailed in the United States government. The influence of a few narcissistic super wealthy global ruling class people has been able to use American politician's corrupt actions and the promise of wealth and power to undermine the founding fathers. America is a plutocratic technocracy!

YES! FREE HIM! He is a HERO, not a CROOCK!
Free Assange! A brave man fighting for the truth!
Amy Thank You so very much.
Let's pretend we stand for the values of Democracy and free Julian Assange. It is good to at least once in a while to appear to be on the side of Democracy.
The acting is getting less and less bearable.
Exactly. "Democracy Now" could not care or report less about him, after he published dirt on Hillary, which cost her the election. Which is one reason why I no longer value their show (yes show and not reporting).
@@mrtopcat2 Everyone is polarized and biased today so it is a wonder we don't have more problems. I have called Democracy Now for not reporting both sides of issues before. They are just another one-sided media outlet most of the time.
@@KevinFitzMauriceEverett Exactly. You know I have been wondering, if we ever had good independent journalism that did not had a dog in the fight or did not pick the winners before reporting? I prefer to think that we have had, but then again, maybe I was just not paying well enough attention before.
There ought to be an Oscar's equivalency . Nominate the best political liars...I mean actors every year.

Thank you for sharing this with America's citizens. I am 72 and just now knowing my American history of injustice
Julian hero-ed through this! So much respect for him as a global citizen. How is he subject to US law?
"The truth is there are
people who will hate you
if you're doing well and
they'll hate you if you're
not. So whatever it is,
don't pay attention to
them. You're not alone in
dealing with such people.
Remember, insecure

Brilliant!! Thank you for publishing this session and thank all participants for standing up for US!
Thank you so very much. I liked listening to very brave intellectuals condemning the most powerfully country for what it really is: a truth suppressed.
We must get to the next step...we must jail those that would persecute the innocent
Thanks for speaking up for Julian Assange. He needs to be free NOW!
Free Assange!
Epic discussion. Amazing guests. Ellsberg is my hero.
Thank you you all, who believe in justice...

Thank you Amy Goodman. Thank you tribunal. Free Julian Assange ✊🏾
Thank you for sharing.
When Julian Assange went to Belmarsh I thought people would be out in the Millions and Made him FREE 😢
i agree so disappointing people don't look at facts. Without this our country won't survive - "they" know this and removal of our ability to hear truth is one of the most effective tactics to suppress us.
Finaly! It took time to react..but better late than never! All supports and respects to all these journalists & other, here!
If we don't stand by Julian Assange
The freedom of press will definitely be gone in this country
Why not the world ?
What a catastrophe!😵😲
And then eventually your rights may be compromised
What press freedom? it's already gone - where were the mainstream media on this all along??? (exactly - nowhere!)
Our freedom is getting snatched away month by month. It seems that they are gradually turning this entire planet into a concentration camp. We cant figure out how to stop it and even if we did, we wont stand together.
The cost of freedom weighs heavy on those who must protect it,
This transcends left and right paradigms....a great concern to free press and the teeth of the constitution....
Free Julian Assange:
Environmental, human and non-human animal rights, no matter where from in the entire universe, are all one concern !! 🤜🤛🏽⚡💫
For the freedom of Julian assange the best for him hopefully he will be free soon 🙏
🙏Julian Assange🙏you are a hero 🙏
Democracy Now threw Assange under the bus back in the day when this all went down. I guess this is their small way of apologizing, not that they will admit they were wrong at the time.
I watched his reflection, a butterfly agitated by a window pane
his shadow but a serf to reality and glass the pale of his enclave.
Ps. I wrote this for Julian the day I went to the Ecuadorian Embassy
and caught a glimpse of him holding the curtain and looking.
Excellent! Thank you.
Noam Chomsky for democracy. That's a good one.
The cost of freedom is more than some folks can even comprehend.
