Big Tech’s Effort to Silence Truth-tellers: Global Research Online Referral Campaign

***

“I must say that as I travelled around the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe I met many other fighters in the fight for freedom of speech along the way. We are therefore strengthening ourselves, even though Europe, together with the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, have absurdly made themselves partners and accomplices of genocide, as foreseen by Article 2 C of the Geneva Convention on genocide. I began to despair about vassal states.

All the Prime ministers of Europe, except Orban and the Prime Minister of Slovakia, seem to have come out of the same factory, as if they were Coca-Cola bottles, they have some minimal differences, but in the end, they are all the same. And this is a problem.”

I will never tire of repeating it: Julian is a persecution and a political prosecution and the prosecuting lawyers do what they are told to do: continue the prosecution.

I think at this point we’re at 27 court cases that Julian has had to deal with.

The problem is that the system that carries out his persecution is still intact: the Department of Justice has not yet been dissolved for example, and carries out this persecution, as does the colonial Foreign Office of the United Kingdom, together with the Prosecution Service of the Crown, they did not stop. Belmarsh Prison still pays the jailers who keep Julian locked up; the U.S. Attorney’s Office continues to seek charges against Julian.

These people, these government officials have indelibly stained themselves with Julian’s persecution, as well as with the genocide in the Middle East that they support.

They are stained indelibly, forever! It cannot be deleted!

Those…it’s hard for me to say…those 17,000 children will not be resurrected! Their blood will fertilize the land of Gaza. And what will be born from that land? What anger will spread in the souls of millions of human beings around the world, which will manifest itself in hatred and violence to defend the spirit of those lost children? We need to understand all this.”
