At a time when everyone should be out in the streets shaking the earth and protesting the Trump administration’s prosecution of Julian Assange for exposing US war crimes, those who continue to support this president have one message and one message only when it comes to the WikiLeaks founder: Don’t do anything. Relax, wait and see, trust Trump, and don’t do anything. Trump is about to save Assange, and save us all. Do nothing.
Who do you guys think this strategy benefits, exactly?
These are all people who say they support Assange and WikiLeaks, who say they support free speech and oppose the deep state, and yet what they are doing today hurts Assange and helps the unelected power establishment known as the deep state just as much as the hysterical Russiavape dupes who are overtly smearing Assange today.
To be clear, not everyone who voted for Trump is doing this; many are aggressively opposing this administration’s prosecution of Assange and vocally withdrawing all support
for him. But the ones who are engaged in the behavior I’m describing
are all helping to kill the loud and aggressive opposition to Assange’s
imprisonment which is so desperately needed right now, and they’re
helping everyone they claim to oppose. The pussyhat-wearing Assange
haters and the MAGA hat-wearing Assange lovers are on the same side on
this issue, mindlessly working toward the exact same agenda: the
permanent imprisonment of a truth-telling journalist........https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/04/13/trump-supporters-are-hurting-assange-with-their-4-d-chess-talk/
