🇺🇸🇬🇧❌⚖️ Assange's Extradition: A Litmus Test for Western Hypocrisy

In a stark call to the UK's conscience, UN special rapporteur on torture, Alice Jill Edwards, stands as a beacon of justice against the impending doom awaiting Julian Assange. With the UK magistrates poised to revisit the High Court's refusal of Assange's appeal on February 20 and 21, the clock ticks ominously for the WikiLeaks founder. Edwards' plea to halt the extradition is a dire warning against the backdrop of Assange's deteriorating mental health and the monstrous prospect of a 175-year sentence looming in the US—a grim testament to the lengths the West will go to muzzle the messengers of truth.

Since his ’19 arrest, Assange's saga has been a sordid tale of Western double standards. Imprisoned in the bowels of Belmarsh for exposing the true face of US military and diplomatic machinations, his only 'crime' has been to hold a mirror to the West's war crimes. From the bloodstained sands of Iraq to the shadowy corridors of global diplomacy, Assange's leaks ripped the veil off the sanctimonious facade of the freedom-loving West, revealing a ghastly portrait of power unchecked and accountability scorned.

The proposed extradition is nothing short of a judicial farce, a damning indictment of the UK and US's contempt for human rights and press freedom. As Edwards rightly points out, the diplomatic assurances from the US are but a thin veil over the barbaric reality awaiting —a reality of isolation, despair, and a Kafkaesque trial. This charade lays bare the grotesque hypocrisy of Western powers, who brandish the torch of human rights with one hand while suffocating dissent with the other. How laughable then, their sanctimonious critiques of Russia, China, and Iran, when they orchestrate the slow-motion crucifixion of a man whose only endeavour was to shine a light on their darkest deeds.

The saga of Assange is a clarion call to the world, a test of our collective moral fibre in the face of the West's duplicity.

IN DEFENSE OF THE INDEFENSIBLE: A DEFENSE FOR THE PALESTINIAN HOLOCAUST
👑👿🎯👫 👫🛡: 🇮🇱⚔️🔪✔️🇵🇸👫 👫

✍️ by Hikaru Kitabayashi ✍️

Genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid. A case for each of these crimes against humanity can be made and, if political interference is not allowed to stop the judicial process, is sure to end in rulings against the Zionist political elite in Israel and no doubt many thousands of its supporters across the globe. We can already predict that, if political ineptness allows the 7 October 2023 Black Swan War to continue, unstopped, to its bitter end, the judicial systems of the world will be clogged for years with people seeking justice for the unholy injustice that they were forced to endure.

Making such a prediction is a no-brainer. Nevertheless, one aspect of the judicial process that must always be taken into account is that, for every accusation brought by a plaintiff, a chance to make a defense must be given to the defendant. The right to mount a defense never disappears, no matter how heinous the crime, no matter how abundant the evidence is that implicates the defendant.

So what defense could possibly be mounted at present? None, most people would probably say. But this position is wrong. There is a defense in legal systems based on Anglo-American common law which might prevent many defendants from hanging from the gallows of a world demanding blood. That is insanity, a defense based on the concept of Zionism being a psychotic disorder, a mental disease that has propagated itself by means of repeated renewal of massive incidents of post-traumatic syndrome over the millennia, ever since the destruction of the first temple by the Babylonians. Perhaps, it might be even traced by enterprising defense lawyers to the time of Abraham leaving his relatives in northern Syria and moving to Palestine.

The arguments would be as follows. Abraham, himself, according to Genesis, was claimed to have committed incest by marrying his half-sister, Sarah. He sent his oldest son Ishmael and Ishmael's mother into the desert to die at the behest of Sarah. He likewise sent the six sons he sired by a concubine away with "gifts" but no record of remorse. Additionally, Abraham had a record of talking with God and with Angels and nearly succeeded in killing his son Isaac as a result of these conversations. If anyone living today manifested these symptoms, that person would be either put into an insane asylum, imprisoned or, depending on the location, promptly executed.

Enterprising defense lawyers could continue the process of finding post-traumatic-syndrome-induced insanity at work throughout the Bible and right up to today in the form of Zionism, a belief system based on the idea that people of dubious genetic descent, many of whom are atheists, have a right to land promised by a then tribal God to all the descendants of a man living perhaps 3500 years ago who was portrayed in Genesis in such a way as to doubt his sanity. This shouts out loudly as being a form of mass psychosis, affecting people, not only inside Israel, but many who do not have Judaic origins in other parts of the world. No doubt the lawyers for the defense would end their pleas with a demand that psychologists around the world declare Zionism to be a mental illness and that, on the basis of this, mercy should be shown to those suffering from it.

Hope is all we have. But we can always hope that Zionism will one day come to be seen for what it really is, which is not a fulfillment of God's will, but as a dangerous psychotic disorder.

🇺🇦Ukraine is reinforcing Avdeevka. And there are good reasons to believe it’s bolstering the eastern city—current the locus of Russia’s winter offensive—with one of the best brigades in the Ukrainian army.

The 3rd Assault Brigade. The only Ukrainian ground-combat brigade that we know for sure was in reserve in eastern Ukraine as of last week.

Brig. Gen. Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, commander of the Tavriya group of forces in Avdeevka, announced the reinforcement on Telegram on Saturday. “We strengthen the blocking line, set up additional firing positions and use fresh effective forces,” Tarnavskyi wrote. “Logistical delivery continues.”

That the Ukrainians would reinforce Avdeevka was not a foregone conclusion. In apparently choosing to stay and fight, Ukrainian forces are accepting enormous risk.

After four months of hard fighting, Russian troops from the 2nd and 41st Combined Arms Armies finally breached Avdeevka—a key Ukrainian stronghold just five miles northwest of Russian-occupied Donetsk—earlier this month and approached within a few hundred yards of the main road by which the Ukrainian garrison, centered on the 110th Mechanized Brigade, gets supplies into the city.

At that point, Tarnavskyi had two options. Pull back the 110th Brigade’s survivors from the exposed eastern part of the city and consolidate the Ukrainian line in central Avdeevka or just outside the city, to the west.

Or: reinforce the 110th Brigade and try to push the much larger Russian force away from the garrison’s supply lines.

It’s possible it wasn’t Tarnavskyi’s decision to make.

Last week, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky removed his popular top general, the charismatic Valery Zaluzhny, and replaced him with the unpopular former head of the ground forces, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi.

Zaluzhny has a reputation—deserved or not—for embracing a mobile defense in order to minimize Ukrainian casualties. Syrskyi by contrast has a reputation—again, deserved or not—for accepting high casualties in stubborn, static fights.

The commander of the Ukrainian armed forces' Tavriya Tarnavskiy, on the decision of commander-in-chief Syrskiy, withdrew the 3rd Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces from the southern front and transferred it to Avdeevka. It is considered the best "Azov" brigade in the Ukrainian army.

These are the same mommy's "lions" from which Wagner made canned food in Bakhmut several times. Our Airborne troops did the same with them later. After which a little more than the remaining 20% of the 3rd assault of the AFU were sent to the rear for additional manning. Then they were reassembled in January at Zaporozhye and now Avdeevka.
Their commander Kukharchuk, after the last defeat of the brigade, said: I do not believe that we will win. I do not believe that we are fighting degenerates. We are all heirs of the Soviet Army. But the Russian one is bigger today.

A joint IDF, ISA (Intelligence Support Activity) and Israel Police operation in Rafah overnight rescued two Israeli hostages, Fernando Simon Marman, 60, and Louis Har, 70, who were kidnapped by Hamas from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak on 7 October, the IDF said.

"Both are in good medical condition and were transferred to Sheba Tel Hashomer Hospital for medical examination," the IDF added.

An AFU soldier with the call sign Mongol is afraid that if he tells the whole truth about the meat assaults in the Serebryansky forestry, he will become an enemy of the state:

“Minus 100 TRO (territorial defense) soldiers in one day, probably in captivity, killed, who knows... The young commander, who was holed up in the village all the time, said: “Go, if you don’t go, no one will replace you tomorrow!" We began to approach enemy positions and the first of those who walked received 2 bullets immediately in the chest... Of the 30 guys in the company, 11 remained. And there were many such orders, and if I talk about everything, I will again become an enemy of the state ".
