I Believe, these Psychopaths who are doing this to Julian, are going to kill us all because of their uncontrollable greed. They're insane.
They want to make us slaves full time, and If not..like you Stated.
They already are with the vaccines.
Haven't they already informed about that in Ebert County of Georgia..!??
They ARE psychopathic maniacs at large and the governments are too dumb to realise that they will be the next after the world is decimated..
What is being done to Julian is a crime against humanity, a level of hateful sadism that defies belief, yet is so terribly real.
And what's comedic is that the governments that hold him hostage claim to be democratic and have the audacity to lecture other nations about democracy.
Well we lionize Death Camp Nazis like the Azov Brigade- 'My mother is Ukrainian, my father is Stephan Bandera!' So tragically this is no surprise!
we can have him released tomorrow, it's a fact. we just have to Unite for one day
Take one day for Julian,
for all those who sacrificed everything for us
Trump calleed Assange a traitor after Assange helped him get elected, i hope Trump is convicted and sent to prision!
the only weapon against this evil is to spread and keep sharing the good of Julian Assange ...
I'm in my sixties and throughout my entire life I've been told about how grateful and how proud I should be to be an American but it's just always been so difficult for me because I've never been okay with so much of what our country has done to our own citizens as well as to so many other humans on the planet
The Bible tells us to leave the USA. Revelation 18:4
Ditto...❤️🐞🕊🙏
since jfKmlKrfKillerJrs2+++=--- is real patsy puppet status for Gunsgold Oil Drugs WAReligion profitbiprophet
Never been proud, it's a horrible place, on the other hand, so is the rest of the world
@@the.trollgubbe2642 I wonder if you`re really able to compare. Here in Germany, you american guys have been rolemodels in my youth. That has almost changed to the opposite due to your egoistic view on the world and the constant political pressure to maintain dependence. I still love you people but I can`t stand your toxic political and economical elite.
So sad Julian and his family are still in this situation. My heart sinks and I've absolutley no trust in the UK government or judicial system.
Its immoral, cruel, and exposes the worst of human behaviour via those in power. I've signed petitions, contacted the scottish government and will continue doing what I can.
Always wishing the best for Julian and the family and hope his freedom comes soon.
Every Tom, Richard and Harry is vilifying Putin but what people don't realize or don't want to see is that he's the only thing that stands between Edward Snowden and my brother and some secret torture chamber in Poland. CLAN TSAREV STANDS WITH CLAN ASSANGE!
Don't forget it's the US that initiated this; just like the horrors in Ukraine right now. When will there be a limit and the people stand up and demand that all of this abuse of power come to an end.
Oh more censorship, what's you tube trying to cover up again 🤔 we all know who owns and controls the worlds media and banks.
Why are you surprised about UK's judicial system. Just have look at it's colonial history. You cannot get rid of the colonial DNA in just one or two generations.
We are supposed to be a civilized world. It's quite disturbing that a human being is treated in such a calculated barbaric torture. 😥 free Julian Assange.
You've no idea how corrupt the system is. The enforcers of law are some of the biggest criminals out there as well. Which of course they only do for good reasons, except when the majority of that time it goes against social/public interests but for some reason always serves the so called "elite". You're seeing it before your eyes with Assange. It's an extremely visible case, nobody cares. Extraditing somebody to charge them for espionage by the laws of a country they are not a citizen to, is literally unbelievable (especially that it can be gotten away with publicly).
They do not fear showing their corruption. The idea that we live in a democracy is laughable (in the majority of western countries). Unless people start going out into the streets, nothing will change.
@@gallectee6032 I don't think the world has progressed at all, really. As a whole we may have cleaned up our act, technically advanced(that we know of), yet torture, human trafficking, human sacrifice, is still alive today. I just think the elites refined it. I do know of the behind the scenes of politics. My relative was involved back in the 70's. TV is propaganda, control, which is why it's called programming. We have to protest and resist, and keep channels like this going.
Assange worked hard to put Trump in the White House! Look into it!
@@jmseipp You have it wrong. He didn't work hard to put Trump into office. He worked against Hillary (because she's a war monger). And releasing a bunch of leaked emails that Hillary held on her private server for privacy, privacy that she disagrees the public should have, is hardly "working hard".
Assange provided who he endorsed, which was the Libertarian party, Green Party and Bernie Sanders campaign (and this was after Sanders supported the prosecution of Edward Snowden). It's the neoliberal/centrist party, or as they're called the "democratic party" for some reason, that could've easily won if they nominated someone that people actually wanted. Someone who would've been far better for public/societal interests. Which was Bernie Sanders.
They instead nominated someone that everyone hated. A cancerous career politician at a time when everybody was (and still is) enraged at the establishment (especially following the useless Obama government from the perspective of the voter base).
It is the neoliberal/centrist party that blew it.
@@jmseipp If such a minor leak, a leak of emails that were hardly that bad, took down the whole Hillary campaign, you should begin looking elsewhere is the point...
As a Canadian American citizen, I find it’s so disturbing how evil the United States really is. I actually hate being an American, because of the crimes committed against the entire world by this juvenile country.
Watch out for Canada and UK too. Assange is real horror story though, he is both in prison and mental asylum at same time. Although where I live, government workers are unaccountable. That is what five columns of power do to people.
Thank you Chris Hedges for everything you do, to help uncover, and help us to understand, the evils at work in our world.
Are there any legal support available from this group? USA ridden with kleptocracy, conniving parastic exploitation, systemic corruption, systematic injustice, & outright evil that will deceive, betray, & harm; there are civil, criminal, & human rights violations with atrocity happening in USA that were indulged upon at least one honorable US Navy retiree, decorated veteran, & virtuous citizen whom dutifully sought accountability for other violations such as chisel, heist, undeservedly imposed disparity, fraud, malfeasance, negligence, obstruction, & else then was betrayed by supposedly requisite authority among systemic corruption & complicit shills that imposed retaliation, reprisal, abduction, torture, injury, persecution, harrass, threaten, terrorism upon him & his family further endangering & promoting harm upon him while coverup, obfuscate, obstruct, slander, & other violations have ensued & perpetuated. USA else ScAmerika is not your friend or ally but immoral & outright evil. Indeed, I am seeking international exposure, protection, representation, & support for accountability, refuge, asylum, & sanctuary from further harm, violations, & atrocity.
Yes, it is mandatory for democracy to free Assange. Exposing corruption is not a crime.
Saw this in the U.K. and got a chance to meet Julian’s brother and father. Must see for people in the US. It’s up to all of us to get this guy free !!!
It's not up to me...That part is reliant on his lawyers doing what they get paid to do.
@@albertawheat6832 lawyers won’t matter in a Virginia court unfortunately
Only death will free him. If there's even a sliver of a chance that a court would free him, the Deep State will kill him before he can get out.
@Mark Taylor You do what you want, I'll do what I want...Sound fair ?Unlike you The Lawyers aren't posting BS on You Tube ...You could learn to stay in your own lane maybe. LOL
@@sneakyone9865 Those facts still don't make it my problem.
It's like giant grinding wheels of attrition. "Slow motion murder before our eyes." Julian Assange, so successfully villainized in public perception or still unfamiliar to many, needs to be seen for what he actually is. Just as WikiLeaks exposed the corruption and criminality of governments, Assange's courage, integrity, and moral foundation of granite needs to become familiar to all who oppose tyranny. Hopefully this film - which looks riveting in previews - will help educate more people.
I agree and hope so Adam. 🙏🏽 ❤
It won't be shown on television. It most likely will be banned. It's a war not just on truth telling journalists it's war against citizens and trouble makers need to be silence or assassinated. The world is back to 200 years ago. Uk actions proves it.
I live in London and had the opportunity to see the film at ICA. Its is very good and emotional. An excellent documentary. Free Julian Assange now!
Greetings to London from Wisconsin. I have not seen this film yet, but have been following Julian's story for years. Your endorsement has inspired me to find it. A heartfelt thanks!
The Julian Assange story will be told one day as being one of the most fundamental to our time.
yes, he has already his certain place in the history! but on the other hand he needs our support!
Dreamer
@@conniem2394" but I am not the only one... I hope someday you'll join us,,,"
free Julienn
My heart is mourning for this evil reality. I share Julian pain. Wish I could take away some of his suffering. free Julian Assange now.!!! They won't succeed but only contribute to their own demise. Freedom won't perish.
Thank you Chris for continuing to put the spotlight on Julian and this criminal plot against him. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of him and his family and all that they’ve gone through and are going through. And all of this to US government is the only criminals that should be taken to task. Julian has done more than pay dearly already. I’m hoping this film expands support for Julian, especially here in the US.

This movie is something I've been hoping to see for many years.
I hadn't thought of it, but their side has sure been missing in the discussion, Sharla Gardner. I am glad his brother did this. My heart goes out to that family. Exposing the identity of JA's wife puts her at risk and seems irresponsible. It must be hard to keep getting your hopes up, but I have my fingers crossed that he is released and back with you within two months, as might happen.
Please share Julian's plight with everyone you know!!
A person serving time in prison who hasn’t been convicted of a crime. What century is this? Says a lot about how civilized society this society isn’t
As a British citizen I am deeply deeply ashamed by the actions of my Government in the political detention of Julian Assange, all of the people who have taken part in his detention are monsters. We can't give up our optimism that Julian will be returned to his family.
The tragic events surrounding Julian's imprisonment reflect the suffering and cruelty of those in power who will break him if they can...they are doing a pretty job of it..the ability to hold him for as long they wish it without being sentenced or being charged just show they will do cos they can..thankyou for this interview ..
How did revealing a crime become a crime? Only in America!
So Heartbreaking - so unbelievable - the cruelty. Who are the people who make this a reality? They need to be named.
They are a cabal.
Bring Julian & his family home!✊💜
very compelling. I really appreciate the attention that you give Julian.
So Sad ! ! People would not treat a dog like they treat Mr. Assange ! !
And what's comedic is that the governments that hold him hostage claim to be democratic and have the audacity to lecture other nations about democracy.
If Julian Assange is only being detained at ´the request´ of the Department of Justice then what action are his lawyers taking to challenge his apparently ungrounded and illegal detention. I don´t understand why this aspect of the situation is not mentioned and their strategy not discussed.
Thank you again, Chirs for all your efforts to keep Julian's story alive all these years and Julian's brother, Gabriel Shifton today on your program. What an informative and heartfelt discussion. Furthermore, may all of us stand strong for Julian. Also, much love is being sent to all of Julian's family, his father, wife, children, brother, and friends. With the deepest appreciation and devotion to all.❤️🌏 Thank you Gabriel for this film you have made.
Looking forward to seeing it.
by us
Thank you❤🌹🙏 TRNN team, Chris Hedges, Gabriel Shipton for helping to free Julian Assange!
Hello Julian 🙂, you are a source for a global awakening. A job no one wants. Rock on brother. I will do my best to make sure you see freedom. Big love.
Oh my. I am sitting here on
my couch listening to this interview. It is absolutely gut wrenching. So unfair. Medieval “justice’. I got a glimpse of Julian coming down the front steps at Belmarsh Prison. It makes me want to throw up with the barbaric cruel treatment he must be receiving looking at his poor crippled body. Jesus help us.
Barbaric and medieval indeed. Too sad.
He's real freedom fighter in my book.
Prayers for this madness to end now. Sending might, light and love to all. Free julian sobeit 🙏
We must all DO MORE, There are LOTS OF JULIAN SUPPORTERS, WORLD WIDE, We have to get ACTIVE and CREATIVE in our campaigning efforts , Thank you CHRIS you do a lot and the world loves you.
ASSANGE IS A HERO. FREE HIM NOW.
Thanks so much
Great interview 👌🙏
We need to get Julianne out NOW
Prayers for liberation of an innocent man.
Thank you for the update on Julian Assange and especially the new film "Ithaca" schedule which I've been anxiously waiting for. Chris Hedges untiring efforts on behalf of Julian are always warm and selfless and encouraging as is the work of Julian's brother, Gabriel. We must save Julian. We must save the world. These are not just words. They're the order of the day!
Thank you. I was one who believed Julian would make bail and try to imagine him free and with his family. I was wondering about the wedding pics did Stella ever got them. So hard so inhumane. Dehumanizing indeed.
Why is the British kangaroo justice system allowed to prevent the defendant from attending their own hearings, surely his lawyers can appeal this level of persecution and vindictiveness - how is this even fair?
the state has absolute power over your physical body
How can the 'powers that be,' be SO MISGUIDED!
Or legal at all? Well Brexit afforded Boris the opportunity to be re writing the human rights act
This is heart rending. Thank you both
A ray of sunshine in my darkness to be free once more I can only dream so long have I been without my love to be free to see the sky with no boundaries
The American people are asleep.
It's sick and sad.
It's time to rise ye mighty people.
The world needs a list of names of those who are empowered to free Julian Assange. Names.
Britain should be ashame to call the shelves a democracy with a justice system that they have.
I will approach our local theater about screening this and I hope others will too.
Thankyou Chris and Gabriel
The detention and persecution of Julian Assange is one of the main reasons why I detest the United States government and despise any of the lackeys like the UK who are complicit in this criminal act. I am an American citizen and a veteran and I am embarrassed to be a U.S. citizen. What have we become? True patriots are not on board with this.
I praying for Julian Assange freedom!!! .🙏🙏😢😢
The persecution proved how deeply we need men like Julian.
Thank you so much for this interview. I hope and pray with all my heart & soul that Julian is freed soon!!
May he find peace in his cell…. Prayers! ❤
Seeing his family is heartbreaking
Thanks to all beautiful people
Julian will be freed 💪❤️🦋
CHRIS HEDGES for PRESIDENT!💜
My favorite poem. Free Julian Assange
#Timedone
Thank you very much ! It is so important! thank you! And thank you to this great family, and this faithfull brother, one nearly can't stand to see this pain and by knowing one cannot help, a screaming sadness, and he must be freed for all of us ! Thank you for making this interview and for making it possible to listen to this wonderful family, to this so great brother! to see what it means to be human and what it means to live a loving look on humans, on the earth and to deal without violence! Humans all over the world, we have to fight for the law, for fair trail, for truth, for freedom, for humanrights and free julian Assange!
These are indeed dark times.
Yes. Free Julian Assange
Still following. Not going to give up on him.
I think they have made their point. They cannot find a way out even if they wanted one..
This is petrifying and heartbreaking . I pray for Julian ,such a brave man
Please Free Julian Assange.
Please Let Julian Assange go.
It will not end well.
Robert Barnes has said that despite having a selected judge and a selected court and a selected jury if Julian gets to the US, the case would be thrown out.
For that reason he will never be allowed to leave Belmarsh alive.
The British system of justice is totally corrupt and bereft of any semblance of law. on any level.
Since 1974, I've worked in some capacity in English law, both civil and criminal I just can't get my head around this..must be above my pay grade 🙃 uk England
What they are doing to this man is total evil.
He is a true and utter hero of our times and for humanity as a whole. The people who did this to him are most despicable, and this only proves the case Wikileaks made against them.
I am outraged, appalled, and profoundly sad when i think of what happened to him.
It’s beyond outrageous to have the animalistic and cruel British criminal system imprisoning a person in a maximum security prison system even when he has not been found guilty even within their so called justice system. They call themselves civilized. What a comical situation for them to claim they worry about human rights😮
Julian Assange is a true HERO. I love and respect him and his work. Even if he never gets out he will go down in history as a brave and beautiful freedom fighter. Thank you Julian. God bless you.
They want to take him to the ‘Land of the “ free “ and “ the home of the brave.” The land of cognitive dissonance. 🌹j.😊
I've been terrorised all my life too.
I feel you
HE SHOULD BE FREED! GIVE HIS CHILDREN THE RIGHT TO KNOW THEIR FATHER AND ASSANGE , BE WITH HIS FAMILY! STOP PERSECUTING HIM. HE DID A SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE. HE IS NOT A TRAITOR LIKE MANY OTHERS IN FREEDOM!
Free Assange! Fantastic interview albeit painful. ✌️
All honest leaders should claim for Jullian s release . The bad one's won't . I feel Jullian pain .
Free Assange and me!
Prayers.
We are doomed as humans wo people like Julian Assange - plz help save this soul
FREE HERO ASSANGE
Justice delayed is justice denied!
I thought that was a first principle of English Law....evidently not.
Why is Julian still in prison?
'The WikiLeaks founder has long since completed his original 50-week sentence for skipping bail in 2012.'
i think they want him to commit suicide or hope he dies so they don't have to face the truth!
Let us pray and believe..
brother Julian is a true Hero of the people 👍
Free Assange , where are Free Nelson Mandela fighters?
on Tik Tok
Thanks for helping highlight this human rights abuse that should NEVER have happened
People just don't want to know what a war is,and now they don't have to .
I guess the intention by TPTB is Julian will be free when he is ... gone 💔
The UK justice system is treating Julian in a barbaric way. Julian has done nothing wrong.
I am utterly disgusted by not only Julian's treatment , but incarceration as a whole. FREE ASSANGE!
Exposing the biggest war monger hegemon on this planet is the most noble act of courage. Thank you Mr JULLIAN ASSANGE. What you did is a great sacrifice for TRUTH ❤
mr. hedges, also include please what wikileaks revealed, the importance of Mr Assanges work - I honestly don't recall at this point, and it's important while we're regarding his terrible perpetual imprisonment, we also think of the service he did for the American nation
i remember there was a video of our helicopter blowing up a wedding on accident
Blackwater mercenaries machine-gunning unarmed civilians, at an intersection, from a helicopter.
@@raymondjames5035 And so much more. One of my favorites is CIA's Vault 7 program. It exposed the hacking/surveillance tools of the people who are there to serve us, to the public (and the CIA then labelled Wikileaks as a "non-state hostile intelligence service" and started coming up with assassination plans, to serve the public of course. It's all about public interest.) You see, Wikileaks and Assange are no good for you actually.
He helped expose the murder of innocent people while the military made jokes about it while it happened
I think the day is coming when we MUST take to the streets ! This is nothing new and Julian is lucky that his case is high profile, how many have died unnoticed by the world media perhaps dying in a dark lonely hole somewhere?
It's so hard to imagine having my father in a prison like Assange is in and not knowing if he is handling it well. My heart goes out to you. I know your father is very proud of you
But people still go vote for the same clowns don’t they🥴
Don’t mess with the machine.
They’ll ruin you no matter which side you’re on.
Retribution is exactly the right word. :(
One day Julian will be freed. He will.
NO they will NOT free him because that means they give up there power and control and they ain't going to do that!
What is the name of the film? Thank you for working to get Justice for Julian Assange! 34:08
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band song Anthem fits the Julian Assange case.
30:11 - Playing with emotions is definitely part of this prosecution. The exact same rollercoaster you will find with a progressive finance minister that attempted to take on EU institutions that were crushing his country. The book is titled "Adults in the Room: My Battle With the European and American Deep Establishment by Yanis Varoufakis".
Thank you✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
✨Free Julian Assange ✌🏼
Amazing interview! Free Julian Assange!
