If Julian Assange is jailed it will be because his media organization, WikiLeaks, exposed the brutality of the illegal U.S.-led invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq.
War crimes reportage instigated by Assange was dispensed throughout the corporate U.S. media and enthusiastically reissued by the major-media masters--yet they are not the prized target of the belligerent ruling class.
Trump did not start the war on the media with his bellicose asininity. It has been operative since the founding of a free press, and while historically announced with subtler clarity, as demonstrated by the Bush and Obama administrations, the intent remains the same--silence and the ruin of dissent.
If Assange goes to prison, we all go to prison.
