"Just say you're guilty and we'll stop torturing you." That's what this is.
yeah....principles you know......that crap they have programmed us with, for centuries......even using the religions to validate their grip. They should have thought of that, years ago, before planting Julian in the damn jail !!!!!! They are liable for any complication he may have, from that miserable time incarcerated with criminals. Time for compensation !!!! from both the UK and the US.......
Exactly! How can we blame him for this deal! ?
Exactly the same as "The Holy Inquisition" Nothing changed
My bonus: Finally, the God of freedom worked on our behalf and freed Julian Assange. We thank and ask, it is all we have with God. May God bless the good people and Angels+ who worked on it, but we are not yet forgiving the bad people who harmed us and under-repent, including Biden and those who support censorship. We can acknowledge the limited good of Biden and Sunak+, but I won't endorse either unless their opponents criticize the release... Trump gave us false hope on Assange for votes, then hunted him as president. After Biden used the word 'considering' was when Trump vaguely gave hope for votes... So watch his words. I do not like even a 'God' that gives false hopes, because I do not give false hopes for money or sex, at this moment of my life. People have to grow, including politicians, or pay the consequences. I have repeatedly said censorship is the most dangerous thing we face as humans. We should not give even God, the right to censor, meaning to punish people over beneficial truth... Censorship is how we should discover who is God versus devil and members of their teams, because the worst of people will always support censorship in the name of respect, order, interest, etc. Which reminds us why God may sometimes allow pain or censorship against others? If you support censorship at home or work, but oppose government censorship, you may still deserve pain or censorship. Just yesterday, I wrote how Snowden is among the top miracles of God, including how He protects him above Assange... Finally! GOD have delivered, freeing assange will anger only devils; some silently and who will oppose it loudly? Both Biden and Trump promised for votes and under deliver on Cannabis , so we ask the God of freedom to help worldwide on that, not just u.s....
Freedom matters! May God enrich me and every good soul, including perfect health. Vote your conscience! Speak your conscience! 'Successful will be those who purify or raise their conscience', as per ch. 91... Humankind are to be rescued, so those who worship the ways of our 'parents' are part of the problem.

Happens a thousand times a day in the US judicial system.
Utmost respect for Julian Assange and am FURIOUS he was made to confess to a crime he never committed. Thank you Glenn for unpacking this so clearly. 🇺🇸
One of the most shameful illegalities perpetuated by those in authority in “ the Land of the Free “.
Now more like "the land of the obedient".
The land of the most corrupt ( legally corrupt ) nation In the world...
If this is not evidence to that fact, nothing is or will ever be...
Its all propaganda or jail time...
@@MrRight1000 Land of the Terminally Brainwashed since the turn of the century ...well, going back further than that.
There were quite a few more, 9/11; Guantanamo bay; the wealthy "interpreters" moved to the Western countries; systematic killing of Russian women, children, men in Ukraine, Palestine,; the young cleaner who's serving 16 years because a big wig in the army? sold secret documents, collected the cash and enjoying life, just to name a few! In the land of the "free" freedom depends on the money in the pocket and the people they know!
Land of the fee; home of the slave.
Not a "plea bargain" but a fake confession obtained under relentless physical torture is totally invalid as a precedent.
Yes
It's a shame he had to give in to the Criminal Cartel in DC just to be able to go home.
I'm an American Veteran, and I DESPISE the CROOKS in the DC CARTEL!!!!😡
To be able to SURVIVE!
Congratulations for fighting for ZOG.
@@soniavadnjal7553
Believe me, I know too well how the DC THUGS operate.🙄
I didn't swear to support and defend this.
@@snuffle2269
Same here!
My oath is to the Constitution!
NOT a crime syndicate!
Assange is free in this election year but he was forced to admit to a crime he did not commit.
That's what a lot of convicts were coerced into doing. Pleading guilty under threats of an unfair prosecution and harsh sentencing.
Despicable activity on part of US Gov.
The crime is not even a crime!
At this point, anything goes, as long as he is FREE !!!! He is not a vegetable, he will work around that and make his case, a precedent for things to come. Since we heard rumors the CIA was trying to snuff him, he can get the US to pay for the security he will need. No delusions , some faction will collect $, to put him out. That is what we can expect. Now, let's make sure, it does not happen. Pay up.....people, to keep him SAFE !!!!
US Federal prosecutors have a 99% conviction rate. .. do we _really_ believe that's because they're good faith actors?
Mike Pence is a disgrace. Supposed Christian, but apparently no problem with treating Assange in such a horrific manner.
Real Christian do not go into politics
Sorry to say it that way. But especially after the last 4 years. You sound like a child who still wanted to believe mommy and daddy were not the bad guys all along.
@@Klonering The point is that mommy and daddy were supposed to be the good guys. They told us that they were. We were fooled but shame on them.
Christians are not non-violent.
I cant stand any religion, but even I know that Pence is a Evangelical heretic. Chris Hedges explains the difference between a X-tian and an american heretic evangelical.
Thank you Glenn. I’m so glad to have found your channel. Lots of love and respect from Louisiana!👍🏼💖
Glad he's free. He's guilty of nothing. His persecutors are the guilty ones.
I knew Glenn would understand the Assange conviction. The state now has legal precedent to charge ANY journalist who discloses "classified information" with a crime! Get it?
Yes
And many may have suppressed valuable news because of this
Perfect. Now we can really launch the grand era of self-censorship. Well done, free and democratic world, well done.
The process is the punishment.
As an Australian, I thank you Glenn for continuing to staunchly defend & bring attention to the plight of Julian Assange for all these years.
I honestly did not hold much hope for his future.
Today is a good day for the whole world.
I’m just so glad he’s out of there. Everyone should exclaim to the hilltops what he exposed.
Oh, lets keep it real, they was hoping he would have died in prison
He does look more healthy than I thought. Of course, his mind has suffered so much
I've been saying for 30 years that private citizens have no privacy from the government, but the public sector operates in almost total secrecy.
2007, Baghdad, Iraq: Two Reuters journalists were slaughtered by U S. Apache helicopters. Julian Assange exposed this.
Assange has more bravery and nobility in his chalk-white 5-years-entombed pinky than those trigger-happy pilots could ever dream of possessing.
Free at last, free at last. Julian Assange is free at last!
It’s disgusting that Reuters didn’t have a clock on their homepage counting every second Assange was effectively arrested.
and he needs to be SAFE. These governments that kept him locked up should be liable to keep him SAFE. His lawyers need to sue the UK and the US , to PAY for his security as he will need it. NO question, some people are now, thinking how they will eliminate him, as he will be a sitting duck. He needs body guards and real security. These security guards that are paid to protect Trump ? send them to Australia, to protect Julian. Trump does not need security; he already has a butler. Ha...ha.....
And Reuters folded like a cheap two dollar suit. I wonder what the government threatened them with.
@@RonHelton threatened? no no... reuters didn't need to be threatened. They were and are in lockstep with the government, they are a propaganda piece.
I don't know how you get comments like this posted. I am happy you did, but I find UA-cam blocks 60 to 80 percent of comments I make if they are at all political in a way that undermines mainstream establishment political narratives. Comments that are far more milk toast than yours get blocked all the time. Awesome that yours wasn't blocked though!!! 😁
Begin with Obama not Trump
The behavior of both governments in this case has been sickening and despicable. And now the whole world knows exactly who and what they are.
"Corruption has become so super-saturated within the political class that the only thing illegal is reporting the crimes." -- Me
" Julian Assange is definitely not guilty "
He's guilty of being a good journalist.
Let's all congratulate the main stream media who suddenly and overwhelmingly became interested in his case just yesterday.
Those a-holes? No.
Better late than never ?
Spot on….!!
It’s a dark comedy playing out.
The "mainstream", a.k.a. legacy media, is becoming irrelevant. Loosing subscribers is the only thing they mildly care about, certainly not about freedom of the press.
@@MrRight1000 Anyone still subscribing/watching legacy media need to stop. Immediately: under the most intense social pressure possible, if necessary.
Trump 2016: I love Wikileaks!
Trump 2017: Extradite him!
@@aisle_of_view It's a big club and they're all in it.
The repulsive and depressing part is that Obama and Biden are no better than Trump. At least Trump had to be talked out of pardoning Assange by CIA director Pompeo. Obama and Biden never even considered pardoning Assange.
YT just hid a comment critical of Obama and Biden, for not even considering to pardon Assange, in the first place, and thus being no better than Trump. At least Trump considered pardoning Assange and had to be persuaded not to by CIA director Mike Pompeo.
trump is a CONMAN ENTERTAINER FAKER with the spirit of the joker to keep his CULT base enthralled. Thankfully he will never be president again. I am not a supporter of either the GOP or the democrat party.
The only difference between biden and trump is that biden does not have a cult following that can prove dangerous
Thats the downside to Trump...complete lack of self-awareness and zero philosophical alignment. He's pure 1980's boomer. The good news is that many Karens will self-delete when he becomes President again.
Thank you , Glen, for you're voice truth. Peace and Love my brother.
Remember who those secrets protected?🤔🤷🏽♂️
I think that setting him free with a token conviction in a plea deal looks less bad from an optics standpoint than keeping a guy who was doing legitimate investigative reporting in prison indefinitely. It was looking too Orwellian for a long time.
That is the pic of a happy man !!!! Finally a FREE man !!!!! Priceless.
Thank you Glenn for your hard work and integrity, especially for supporting Julian Assange as you have!
Cannot wait for Pompeo's trial.
Glenn, I am a tour guide who takes tourists through Bostons freedom trail. I lead a people's history and stress so many of our early revolutionary ideas upon who our country is based. You would be amazed at how many patriotic Americans Americans walk away and think of me as some sort of revisionist because I tell the real truth and bill of our founders 😊
I believe that. It must be frustrating.
@@stephencreaghuys3692 it’s so weird knowing this giant mob is dragging us all back to the stone ages
I don't think an admission or conviction in the US justice system carries the shame that it used to.
the US justice system is largely seen as corrupt in part or as a whole, so them finding your guilty is meaningless beyond the sanction they forced upon you.
Agree, it is just a political manipulation to use a term, validating a reaction.
you and julian assange are true heroes of mankind.........
Thanks Glenn I knew you would do this! I was quite encouraged by his attorney’s words yesterday! I 🙏that encouragement was warranted. Very happy he is home.
Ridiculous, no reason he should have stayed there!
Any confession your forced to make under Torture is meaningless, you obviously said whatever _they_ wanted you to say to make them stop.
Wow! Azebaijan’s president nailed it!!!!
How cruel to put a person in a 3x2 m. For 3 years !!! I am unable to lock my dogs in a crate . Humanity never existed.
62 months that’s FIVE years and TWO months !!! OF TORTURE
@@anneli1735 unbelievable!! So barbaric! Before he got incarcerated there ,he said that he can train his minde to stay alert in case he will be put in solitary confinement. Thank God it’s over now.
No trial. Attorney meetingsspied on. Australia shoukd be ashamed for not fighting this. But any of us can be disappeared. We have supported and aided this in other countries for decades.
"Enshrined in the 1st Amendment, the role of a free press is to bring to light information beyond what those in power approve for release."
Not if SCOTUS 6/26/2024 has anything to say about it!
The process is the punishment.
Love you Glenn! Keep fighting the good fight brother!
Thanks very much for putting these details out here. You're providing an important public service: presenting facts, providing education re: systems (political & legal)➡that so many of us have been totally ignorant of, having been hood-winked by the media outlets we were taught/assumed were ethical public public servants. We believed they were trustworthy➡belief is not good-enough, tho➡which is why we need investigative journalists➡it takes a lot of courage, time, energy, analytical thinking, writing/communication skills, as well as an open-mind, integrity & high ethical standards. The average person cannot take on this job & hold down a job/ care for family, community, etc.➡another reason we need & appreciate yours & the work of others like you.
Great work
Tea with honey and lemon ❤
I saw a blurb that JA had to pay something like $500,000 to get him home. Now I can't find it.
Apparantly one part of getting his freedom was to tell WIKILEAKS to destroy all remaining documents it has in their possession.
Not like we deserve any of it after abandoning Julian. But i thought that was interesting.
“Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”
The man has a family to live for, not being able to see his children growing up would be worse! If Stella talked him into it, good on her!
Glenn, I do hope, when the time is right, you and Julian will have a heartfelt reunion. It saddens me that your David Miranda is no longer here. Nor is he here to witness Julian's release. I'd like to think he does know....
This needs to be repeatedly explained until it's understood by all.
@Glenn, what you are saying is 💯right! Alas, Americans have grown indifferent and submissive. We no longer seem to care about the Constitution. Why is that, I know not. But here it is: "Every country has the government it deserves".
I don't think it is all indifference, I think there are many people just waiting...
The Constitution has been seriously damaged. People such as GWHB pushed their NWO in our faces.....for decades while "taking advantage " of 9/11 event, to take away our Habeas Corpus. Georgie Poo was there, pen in hand, to sign the Patriot Act and Homeland Security, while the towers were coming down. Did he have a crystal ball ? How long did it take to draw that document ? Do tell !!!!!! Hmmm. Nothing positive happened to us, that day, considering, 3 000 innocents lost their lives and we ended up, with a damaged Constitution. A very sad day in the history of the land of the braves........
Wondering why he did not go to Sweden to clear the charges bought against him there!
If you read the actual military manual on document classification there is a section that talks about how classification is abused constantly to hide embarrassment and liability as opposed to actual security.
Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time. A win for Assange is a win for humanity
You can basically divide people up in two groups-those who consider Assange a "traitor", and the people who aren't idiots.
Im happy he is Free and alive!
They tried to torture him to death. The sentence is horrible. Never give up speaking truth to power!🔥🔥🔥
Is it true that the government required him to delete the files as a part of this plea?
This video should have 1 million views by now.
#FreeAssange
Glenn, it's not the liberal readers of the NYT that hate Julian, it's the conservatives, too. Mainly the rightness, I think.
"Guilty" for journalism ... ;-)
Where is Chelsea Manning right now?
God only knows what he had to agree to, that we will never know.
never have sex again ???? ha....ha......just kidding. They probably took out his prostate and damaged the nerve......That's OK, they make prostheses. Mind over matter. Just in case.........

Well, this is Australia. Kangaroos rule !!!!!! They should ! People were eating them for a while.......Competition ? Some humans can be disgusting. No respect.
Ahhh, is GG sick?
Sending healing vibes from ATX.
GG seems fine. Perhaps you are sick
@@questionalways628 his voice is compromised in today's videos but wtvr, if you're desperate to be disagreeable
The jugdgement is final, and yes it DOES and can be imposed over any other journalist.
Accepting guilty relieves the prosecuter from presenting evidence to what has been admitted.
It is a horrible judgement, be it as a plea or court litigation. Its the same ...
Anything to get out of that horrible jail.......just anything..........We all approve and we rejoice with him and his family !!!!!!! He can, at long last, be a father and a husband to his wonderful wife. Hope they can find happiness with their boys and become a normal family. It will take adjusting, healing and loving ! All doable !
If in the future an American journalist, who did the exact same thing Julian did, would be tried by the government and the government would use Julian's felony charge as a precedent, I wonder if the defense could use the argument that Julian was not a US citizen therefore not protected by our 1st Amendment? So in other words, this plea deal wouldn't mean sh*t in the US.
I know there is this:
"Do foreigners have First Amendment rights?
Every single person, both citizens and non-citizens, are protected by the United States Constitution, the equal protection of the laws and due process of law if they are anywhere within the boundaries of the United States. The answer is yes."
But Julian was not in the US when he published. It might be thin but it's something.
So the guy that illegally obtain the documents went to jail, but the guy who published classified documents is not supposed to?
@@hollystiener16 Correct.
@@tomburton1037 It was a rhetorical question
thanks for this
Thank you! 🙏
Hero
Well said Glen
Doesn't matter if there's precedent or not ... they try people in jurisdictions where the ENTIRE POPULATION is either people who work in ... or are family members of ... the security state.
Truth-telling and actual journalism are officially over. He's pleading guilty for telling the truth and people are celebrating this.
This whole ordeal of Mr. Assange is highly reminiscent of the Inquisition.
Government secrecy: 'Asymmetric knowledge': the structural reason why those who govern cannot be held accountable by those they govern. Voters never know. "Because Governments lie."-I.F. Stone
It might be enlightening to review the Daniel Ellsberg situation who leaked the Pentagon Papers to try to stop the Vietnam war. When accused of putting US operatives at risk, he replied, "Name them".
The situation with Julian Assange is very similar.
Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
Assange "spied" for us against "them"
I wonder where this woman stuck her head when the president of Azerbaijan question her about Assange
What's going on with your voice? Be careful not to bibify it any further! Speedy recovery!
I’m a bit confused. Is the entire world under United States legal jurisdiction?
And then the Fda goes after food manufacturers for over labeling foods with allergy warnings because thay aren't accurate.
Whilst I celebrate Julian Assange Freedom, I am deeply concerned about the consequences of such "plea deal." We all know that the only thing Julian was guilty of was that of exposing the horrible crimes committed against innocents by the military establishment. While I am happy to know that Julian Assange is finally back home with his wonderful wife, Stella, his children, and his whole supportive and loving family, I am seriously concerned for the way his freedom was obtained.
The prison probably cooked his food in canola oil..his belly is huge.
Get back on butter and olive oil Julian
RFK Jr. has promised to pardon Assange when elected. People are writing into the Biden Campaign saying they are going to vote for RFK Jr. because of this. The Democratic Party will always go for any group of votes no matter how small. Biden in effect pardoned Assange because of pure politics.
Could have been worse, he could have gone the way of Gonzalo Lira and Jamal Khashoggi.
This plea deal makes me scared for Glenn if he ever wanted to visit the US.
Assange still needs to be pardoned. We need to pressure Trump that he still needs to be pardoned.
Assange will never set foot on the US. Even a pardon and a Nobel prize from the Swedes won't help.
Happened in US all the time. Meng Wenzhou of Huawei was another example.
So I was thinking about the pardon of the Puerto Rican freedom fighters, under Bill Clinton, then Obama. Bill Clinton needed his wife to be senator from NY state. Obama was trying to do the right thing.
They both, either, should have freed Leonard Peltier
whatever is commented on here... My most traumatizing experience was when my boss questioned my expense report. If I experienced just one week of what Julian went through for 14 years, I would confess to the murder of the Pope and my alien leadership in the end of the world...
Glenn, you should be a lecturer! You really know how to break things down for easy understanding. I'm so glad I came across your debate with Alan Derscwitz, which introduced you to me. I want to use this opportunity to say thank you ❤
*God bless Julian Assange* *To hell with the National Security State.*
Thanks, Glenn. Have heard you lay out before how journalism/sources work. Speaks to how propagandized and disconnected the public is that you have to do this so patiently and repeatedly. The absence of meaningful journalism is why what Assange did with Wikileaks is so vital, and why the powers that be shut him down so decisively. From the Swedish extradition attempt, to the mysterious intruder on the balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy, there are so many potential headlines in this story that have either been 'managed' or purposely ignored by what's left of the 'free press'.
"more than three full years" in prison? made me look to see when this video was made...over five really...twelve to be true in all...right?
Why dont you just show Collateral Murder? It speaks for itself.
they actually did the worst thing possible, if they were smart they would have just released him
Dude’s voice is getting worse and worse. What’s that squishy noise he keeps making with his mouth?
He wouldn't survive extradition to the US? How did, then he manage to get on 2 planes and travel 20+ hours? hmmmm
It does not matter...he made people aware of the truth... there is no way back. He does not have to fight anymore. He has given his sacrifice years ago... The precedense will go both ways, the next time a whistleblower comes forward.
I guess the next Julian just needs to stay anonymous himself. Allow people to anonymously leak information but also stay anonymous while doing it. They would be so pissed 😂
any other person would have been utterly broken by this treatment ....but julian wont break
Great work the only thing I would have been interested in hearing more of is the response of the female journalist trying to "gotcha" the President re Assange.
Glenn is extremely intelligent and very articulate. I enjoy listening to him, and I learn a lot from him. However, I think he undermines his position when he refers to Chelsea Manning as "she." If there is no objective reality to which we must conform (Chelsea Manning is male), why is the first amendment an objective reality to which we must conform. The constitution is at least as fungible as biological reality.
Thing is, nothing was done about the video of them mowing down those reporters, or pizzagate or any of the rest of the leaks.
