Upvoted and resteemed.
The message is clear. Stand against us in an way and we will crush you. We are devoid of ethics and morals, and abide by no law. You may seek asylum, but you are never beyond our grasp.
It feels that we are at war, against our own unrepresentative governments and those whom control them. War against lies, propaganda and a battle to maintain our sanity. As per the Ben Harper song Fight for your mind, lest we fall to Oppression
The only way to confront this is through unity. To save Assange (should he be marched through be front door), there is a need to organize and arrive in numbers so large outside the Ecuadorian embassy, that UK police would be overwhelmed. It would make them think twice about using the brutal tactics usually deployed in such events. A mass of human shields to surround, escort and deliver Assange to an embassy that will provide genuine asylum.
But this is now reliant on the British people. The same body of people that shrugged off the injustice of the Grenfell Tower fire, and the insulting remarks from their elected officials, excusing themselves from all accountability and blaming the victims. Will they again return meekly to their warm beer and fish n chips ? What will finally spark people into action ?
Remember the mocking lyrics "You know the way to stop us, but you don't have the discipline".
Once again, there is not a word about this development in our pathetic local Australian mainstream media. John Pilger's did write and excellent article for New Matilda, but this unfortunately is far from mainstream.
