Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ Netflix will begin streaming a brazen hatchet job on Julian Assange and WikiLeaks for its American subscribers on October 24th, just three days prior to a significant court date in Assange's fight against extradition from the UK to the United States on October 27th.
//“Still, such open facilitation of the world's most powerful government in its campaign to imprison a journalist for inconvenient journalistic activity is a special kind of reprehensible”//
Yes Caitlin, more of this. The tragic lies and propaganda of today’s worst genocidal wars and global stultification can be reduced to a point of great moral clarity and intensity that is the imprisonment of one human being, a bold conveyor of truth, our fellow countryman, whose capture and torture muzzles most all voices, turns ears deaf and blinds eyes. #freeAssange
Assange and, incidentally, Manning deserve so much better. Their good deeds on behalf of all of us will continue to be punished by those for whom the truth is anaethma.
IMHO: Netflix is detritus. Modus Op: Clone every kind of movie/serial/tv show and stuff a catalog for subscribers....Star Wars was a big hit, Netflix could do "War of the Stars", Gone with the Wind....."Gone in a breeze".....Netflix! Endless catalog. Whoopee.
I literally am sending a prayer out on the airwaves for Julian Assange just now. In some ways I can relate to his situation, but not really. He has been in Belmarsh for so long now I reckon he is accustomed to it. Seems as if he is gonna die there as well. Well, if so, then Netflix has the death of an innocent man whose crime of the millennia was telling truth to power. I mean basically he told the truth, he did not come anywhere close to raping those ladies in Sweden, he hung out in Ecuadorian safe-space only to be spied upon, potentially murdered, and then ultimately betrayed. Now he resides in Belmarsh.
So honestly Netflix, if he dies there, then part of that is on YOU!
An accurate picture of America's bleak moral landscape is that not one of the 535 flying monkeys who also collectively go by the name of congress has seen fit to call hearings regarding the shoddy case against Assange and draw attention to what his publishing reveals about us.
This includes not only the gasbag Trump and his fanciful small government, Constitution-clutching, deep state-fighting minions, but also spasmodic do-nothings like AOC and the Squad, who Tweet furiously but mostly take up space on what laughingly passes for the left.
One would think that in a functioning system of government there would be a sizeable vocal faction doing so, and our media would give it maximum coverage. But they're not. And what they are getting away with in their mistreatment of Assange -- who isn't even an American citizen -- can be applied so easily to any of us for any reason.
All I can see is a general strike demanding change. If nothing else, it would make for one hell of a documentary.
"dead name"? Silly, you can't kill your old self just like that and create a new self. That's called dissociative identity disorder, and can be treated. No need to enforce other people's illnesses. Bit gauche.
It's almost like Media and Entertainment corporations are in collusion with the feds.

Netflix has a long history of broadcasting pro-empire propaganda.
Its efforts to promote the Nazi coup in Ukraine have not gone unnoticed.
Obama has a production deal with Netflix...
Netflix welcomes the opportunity to act as an organ of propaganda in the war against truth.

It’s a much stronger case to use facts to contradict Spin than to resort to labeling like, “hatchet job”!
