The Slow-Motion Train Wreck of the Empire Stella Assange said her husband Julian needs time to recuperate (Guardian, June 27, 2024). Since Assange has spent significant time since 2012 in both the Ecuadorian embassy and Belmarsh prison under horrific conditions, the question is whether or not he can resume anything like a normal life. He is effectively barred from sleuthing (publishing) for the secrets of the empire, so it’s unlikely that he’ll put himself in harm’s way anytime soon. The message both the US and Britain sent Assange and others who dare to divulge the secrets of war is to shut up, or we will shut you away and throw away the key: We’ll put you in the deepest darkest hole imaginable! A guess is that the limits of Assange’s plea deal will shut him up and out of ever bringing any wrongdoing of the empire and its sycophants to light again. Others will take notice. That’s why the power elite does this kind of thing with truth-tellers: To shut them up and get away with what passes now as public discourse.
