The Nazi world of western journalism.

I've often said that our news media are liars. I had many years of close contact with that. Reporters who tried to be honest were fired, and that's been going on for over a century. Julian Assange, an Australian journalist of great intelligence set out to tell the truth. And he soon realized that he wasn't going to tell the truth So he created his own reporting. That took the shape of news agency called Wikkileeks. What he reported was honest and quite legitmately true. But honesty and truth were precisely what the Australian government disliked. Assange had to get out of Australia - to carry on his news service in Britain and Scandinavia. The American CIA was furious, and actually, with the help of Britain, considered murdering him. (The CIA often works that way. They, after all, were major players in the murder of President Kennedy.) Instead, the British authorities (who were just as murderous as the American ones) placed him in various forms of solitary confinement and then to years in prison where he was allowed no visitors -and no contact even with other prisoners. The purpose was to drive him out of his mind. And it worked. (Remember, there was no trial, no valid reason to imprison him.) But the U.S.wanted him, too. No problem. The British courts, when asked if the U.S. wanted him, agreed he should be sent. I have read their decision. It is full of lies. And the U.S. lied about how it will treat him. It will, just like the British courts, push him into solitary confinement where they will finish the job of destroying him. And the CIA will go through the final stages of dragging him into deeper insanity and death. And don't expect your local newspaper to tell the truth about any of this. And the Liberals, the Conservatives, the American GOP and the Democrats will all cheer for his death. That, I'm afraid, is the real world we live in. We are the Nazis of our time. Graeme Decarie
