Damage to the Soul: Julian Assange And a Travesty of Justice
The imprisonment of Julian Assange has been a catalogue of gross injustice heaped upon gross injustice, while a complicit media and indoctrinated population looks the other way. In a truly extraordinary twist, Assange is now being extradited on the basis of an indictment served in the UK, which is substantially different to the actual indictment he now faces in Virginia […]

Déjà Vu: GSK Recycles Its Problematic Adjuvant into Covid-19 Vaccines
By the Children’s Health Defense Team Among the 100 or so global players now working on experimental Covid-19 vaccines, most of the entities touted as frontrunners are obscure biotechnology and nanotechnology firms.

In contrast, some […]
Black Lives? Palestinian Lives? You Don’t Have to Choose
Over a decade ago, in 2009, I was on a protest at Scotland Yard about the death of Sean Rigg, left to die on the floor of Brixton police station. His family was there; Lowkey, best known for his fight for justice for the Palestinians, was there performing in the street one of his brilliant, incisive, truth-telling raps. No-one there […]

Tracing App Data Collection Spells End of Vital Freedoms
The sinister potential of coronavirus lockdown to suppress dissent was on display on Monday as police broke up a small group of protestors outside Westminster Crown Court during a case management hearing for Julian Assange.

Who controls the British Government response to Covid–19?
“The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants” — Albert Camus As Britain hurtles headlong towards neo-feudalist governance with heightened surveillance, micro-management of society and an uptick in fascistic policing of the draconian measures imposed to combat the “threat” of Covid–19, it is perhaps time to analyse the real forces behind this “new normal”. There is now serious doubt […]
