Assange recently sent out a letter from prison, decrying the Kafka-esque absurdity of the British "legal" system (not that things would be any better in the US). He's getting next to no time to prepare a defense, or talk to his lawyers, etc.

Meanwhile, the US has charged Assange with 17 counts of espionage. It seems the likely end for Assange at this point will be a closed-door trial in the US and life imprisonment. But maybe there is still hope?

There will be a rally in front of the Westminster Court on May 30, when Assange has his second extradition hearing. Hopefully people will be there.

Assange's May 30 Court hearing is canceled due to him suddenly becoming "gravely ill" after less than 2 months in prison... after already surviving 7+ years holed up in an embassy with no natural light and minimal access to doctors. A convenient death will solve a lot of problems: 1) neither Britain nor Sweden will have to extradite him to the US - thus allowing them to still both pretend to be "independent" of their American overlords; 2) Assange will never be brought to court for publishing leaked documents, so America can still pretend to have freedom of speech; 3) whatever secrets Assange knows about the source of the DNC leak will never be revealed, so the CIA can continue to parrot its Russiagate narrative ad infinitum; and 4) everyone with half a brain will know that Assange was murdered in prison, thus serving as a clear warning to anyone else who dares to step out of line - the deep state has all the cards, and we have none.

What a sorry time to be alive.
