Julian Assange Discussion

Notice that there was only ONE camera crew at the arrest of Assange - Russia Today - Every other major mainstream media news outlet in the UK (and USA) undoubtedly also knew about the impending arrest, but ALL of them neglected to send camera crews and reporters to cover it.

If that doesn't confirm that ALL major mainstream press outlets are fully aligned with Western government's agenda, then nothing does. As a result, no one should ever be in doubt that, on all major issues, EVERYTHING you read from a major Western media outlet is, effectively, government propaganda.

Very sad, indeed. Ecuador's decision breaks one of the basic tenants of International Law and one of the main functions of an Embassy - protection from wrongful persecution.

In arresting Assange under false pretenses, what kind of danger does that place Chelsea Manning in?

Does the "timing" of this arrest of Assange, coincide with the US's refusal to grant an entry visa to an ICC Prosecutor, exactly sever days ago (April 4th) investigating Afghan war crimes?

The United States has revoked the entry visa of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, her office said on Thursday, a response to her inquiry into possible war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

One has to also ask the obvious question; what was the thinking/motive behind the western media outlets not being present when he gets arrested? Who gave that order and for what reason? Did somebody hope that the arrest happens quietly, without pictures and such, to make it easier to spin strange/false stories afterwards and possibly make him disappear?
