Documentary: How Rockefeller Destroyed US Healthcare

Documentary: How Rockefeller Destroyed US Healthcare

By Neenah Payne

Posted on May 3, 2024

 


Although Hippocrates, reportedly the founder of Western medicine, said, “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food”, medical schools now provide almost no information about nutrition.

In the Shadow of Flexner is a groundbreaking documentary film by Justin Smith that exposes the century-old corruption that forever altered the trajectory of healthcare. At the heart of this riveting narrative lies the Flexner Report, a document published in 1910, the insidious purpose of which was to eradicate all traces of natural medicine from the educational landscape.

In an era when conventional doctors faced public skepticism, the Flexner Report became the tool of choice for industrial capitalists seeking to monopolize medicine. With an intricate web of influence, orthodox physicians and profit-driven magnates embarked on a mission to discredit any therapeutic approach that did not involve drugs or surgery. The fallout of this Machiavellian maneuver was the sidelining of gentle, nature-aligned treatments in favor of a system that prioritizes profit over patients.

While orthodox medicine has undeniably gifted the world life-saving advancements, the documentary sheds light on the dark underbelly of a system where millions have become collateral damage in the pursuit of financial gain. The film explores the paradox of a medical industry awash with unprecedented funds, yet failing to stem the tide of rising chronic conditions globally.

Through compelling storytelling and jaw-dropping revelations, “In the Shadow of Flexner” takes audiences on a gripping journey through the annals of medical history. It challenges viewers to question the ethical foundations of a health care system that, despite its triumphs, has left countless individuals in the shadows of profit-driven decision-making. As the world grapples with escalating health care costs and an alarming surge in chronic illnesses, this documentary serves as a poignant call to reevaluate the priorities that shape the future of global health.

Flexner Report: The Rise of Big Pharma

The Fascinating History of Supplements! shows that The Flexner Report radically altered medical education and practice in North America. Dr. Daniel Nuzum discusses the impact of the report — a study of medical education in the United States and Canada written by Abraham Flexner and published in 1910 by the Carnegie Foundation.

Many aspects of today’s American medical profession stem from The Flexner Report. After The Flexner Report, the focus shifted from things that help people heal naturally like exercise, good sleep, and good nutrition. Instead, the focus was on drugs and surgeries. Until the report, most of the medical schools taught homeopathy. However, the report ended the homeopathic movement because the funding of medical institutions that weren’t teaching the use of drugs and surgery was stopped. So, 40-50 medical institutions closed. Within five years, only two of the 17 naturopathic medical schools were left. A similar thing happened to osteopathic schools and chiropractic schools.

Funding was cut for anything that was not drugs. There was no more funding for herbal remedies. Cannabis and other remedies became demonized. Drug companies threw supplements out the door. The drug companies funded the medical schools and got positions on the boards. So, the drug companies were able to slowly push out what had been standard medicine – which is now called “alternative medicine”. They presented their drugs as the only solution.

The Cleveland Clinic in Ohio was originally a homeopathic university and hospital. However, after The Flexner Report, the word “homeopathy” couldn’t even be used in the clinic!

Fortunately, that is changing now! The Cleveland Clinic For Functional Medicine is part of the growing reversal of the trend begun by The Flexner Report! The site says: “Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Functional Medicine is a collaboration between Cleveland Clinic and the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), led by Mark Hyman, MD, Chairman of IFM, founder of The UltraWellness Center, and New York Times best-selling author.” In the 2017 video Two Years In: What’s Happening at Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Functional Medicine Dr. Hyman explains how the collaboration began and is accelerating across the country now.

What a great discussion we had last night (March 20, 2024) on the pivotal ‘Flexner Report’ and its profound impact on how ‘Big Pharma’ gained control of Western medicine. Dr. Paul Marik and Dr. Joe Varon were joined by Independent filmmaker and author Justin Smith to discuss the Flexner Report and his new documentary “In The Shadow Flexner”.

Watch and learn how to address this delicate subject now!

John D. Rockefeller’s Father Was A Cancer Quack!

A Brief History of Modern Medicine shows that John. D. Rockefeller’s father was a cancer quack. “Before the Civil War….John D. Rockefeller was just a boy and his father ‘Big Bill’ Rockefeller was a quack physician selling bottles of creosote to cancer patients for 25 dollars apiece.”

However, after The Flexner Report, Big Pharma would label naturopathic doctors “quacks” for not pushing expensive drugs and surgeries!  Yet, medical errors are now the third leading cause of death!

Canada’s Growing War on Supplements

The video below shows that Big Pharma wants to deny people access to vitamins and supplements. This is at the same time there is a growing war on food!

In The Canadian Government’s War on SupplementsDel Bigtree, Emmy Award winning host of The Doctors TV show, founder of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN)  director of Vaxxed: From Coverup To Catastrophe, and host of The Highwire, interviewed Shawn Buckley, LLB, Constitutional Attorney & President of the Natural Health Products Protection Association in Canada. Buckley discussed the Canadian government’s war on vitamins and supplements via the introduction of extreme regulations designed to restrict access and raise the cost of natural products.

Researchers Warn of Physical and Emotional Side Effects and “aftereffects” from Mixed Reality Headsets

Researchers Warn of Physical and Emotional Side Effects and “aftereffects” from Mixed Reality Headsets

By B.N Frank

Posted on 02/09/2024

 

 

Mixed reality headsets are becoming all the rage. These cutting-edge devices, which overlay digital content onto the real world through passthrough video technology, could revolutionize our daily lives, yet they come with a set of challenges that might hinder widespread adoption for continuous use. Stanford University researchers have uncovered unsettling effects while studying these headsets, including “dangerous” aftereffects.

Mixed reality, also known as spatial computing, is among the most talked-about consumer technologies today. It promises an immersive experience that combines the physical environment with digital enhancements, allowing users to interact with both realms simultaneously. The technology relies heavily on passthrough video, which captures the external world through cameras mounted on the headset, projecting it onto internal screens in real time. This innovation enables wearers to engage with digital applications while navigating their physical surroundings, a concept that has piqued the interest of tech enthusiasts and companies alike.

A team from Stanford conducted field tests to investigate the psychological and behavioral impacts of prolonged passthrough video headset use. Their findings highlight a mix of experiences that could shape the future of human-computer interaction.

“Given how far headsets with passthrough video have come, it’s time to dedicate serious academic thought to the psychological and behavioral effects of this technology,” says study author Jeremy Bailenson, the Thomas More Storke Professor in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences and founding director of the Virtual Human Interaction Lab (VHIL), in a university release. “We want to understand the implications of living in a life in which we rely on passthrough for hours every day to see the world around us.”

Participants engaged in various activities, from walking around campus to buying coffee, all under the watchful eyes of a chaperone to ensure safety. Despite the initial thrill, researchers quickly encountered drawbacks, including visual distortions, feelings of social disconnection, and motion sickness, which raised concerns about the technology’s practicality for extended daily use.

Mixed Reality Headsets Can Cause ‘Funhouse Mirror’ Effect

The study detailed how passthrough video could alter perception, limiting peripheral vision and presenting a “funhouse mirror” effect that distorts reality. Users reported difficulties with simple tasks like giving high fives or eating, as the technology’s limitations led to misjudgments in distance and object size.

“Even though the world you are looking at is real, it certainly has a video-game-like ‘otherness’ to it,” notes study co-author James Brown, a master’s student in Stanford’s Symbolic Systems Program.

These visual inaccuracies, combined with a delay in the video feed, not only challenged users’ interactions with the environment but also sparked a phenomenon the researchers termed “social absence.” This sense of disconnection from people in the immediate vicinity, as if they were mere images on a screen, underscores the potential social ramifications of widespread headset adoption.

Furthermore, the team highlighted the risk of simulator sickness, akin to motion sickness, which could deter users from prolonged engagement with the technology.

“I was surprised because all 11 of us in this study are headset veterans, but even from relatively short periods of use, we tended to feel uncomfortable,” explains Bailenson.

Given these findings, the Stanford team advises mixed reality users to approach the technology with caution. Bailenson recommends moderation in use, suggesting breaks and shorter sessions to mitigate the adverse effects and potential dangers associated with the headsets.

“There is great potential for passthrough video headsets across all kinds of applications,” concludes Bailenson. “But there are pitfalls as well that can lessen the user experience, from feelings of social absence to motion sickness, and aftereffects that could possibly even be dangerous.”

The study is published in the journal Technology, Mind, and Behavior.

StudyFinds sets out to find new research that speaks to mass audiences — without all the scientific jargon. The stories we publish are digestible, summarized versions of research that are intended to inform the reader as well as stir civil, educated debate.

Shocking Real Reasons For COVID Shot!

Shocking Real Reasons For COVID Shot!

By Neenah Payne

Posted on July 8, 2023




Del Bigtree is the host of The Highwire which airs online Thursdays from 2-4 PM ET. He won an Emmy Award as one of the producers of The Doctors TV show. Bigtree was the producer of the 2016 film Vaxxed: From Coverup To Catastrophe which went viral.  The documentary alleges that the CDC — the government agency charged with protecting the health of American citizens — destroyed data on their 2004 study that allegedly showed a link between the MMR vaccine and autism.

The film was directed by British MD Andrew Wakefield who was among the first to make a possible connection between the MMR shot and autism after many mothers consulted him about problems their kids had after getting the shot. Like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Wakefield was drawn into the vaccine controversy by mothers looking for solutions for kids whom they believe had been injured by vaccines.

Vaxxed shows that Dr. William Thompson was a CDC whistleblower who came forward with documents and data that strongly indicate the CDC illegally manipulated data in the MMR study. Dr. Thompson alleged that during the study, highly significant increases in the risk of autism were found in several populations and the CDC did everything from kicking children off the study to throwing data out to cover it up.

Del created the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) which works closely with attorney Aaron Siri, Managing Partner at Siri & Glimstad. Siri has been celebrated in the corporate media for his growing victories for ICAN over the last few years. Newly filed tax records show that ICAN, one of the country’s best-funded anti-vaccine organizations, saw a 60 percent jump in revenue in 2020. The Washington Post reported in 2021 about ICAN: Resistance to vaccine mandates is building. A powerful network is helping.

Meet the brilliant mind behind one of the most successful and active Legal Teams in the world of Vaccine and Civil Rights. Aaron provides legal insight on Covid vaccine mandates, shocking childhood vaccines, the Plotkin Deposition, and more.

Del created The Highwire to report on the work ICAN is doing and other issues. His show began in a small studio with a few viewers. However, The Highwire now has a very sophisticated set and an audience of about 6 million in over 30 countries. Since the show is funded by viewers and Del accepts no corporate funding, he is free to cover whatever topics he chooses in whatever way he wants. Every Monday, Del sends people who subscribe to the show for free all the data on which that week’s show was based so they can come to their own conclusions.

Plan To Stop “Vaccine Hesitancy”

On July 6, Del’s team pointed out in his email to subscribers:

It’s an unprecedented time in the Vaccine Risk Awareness movement. The public is searching for facts about vaccines like never before. Advocates old and new are looking for resources to use in the fight to get the truth out to the masses. Earmark today’s episode, because it is one you will want to share.

Del Bigtree has been traveling the U.S. and the world since 2016, speaking to audiences about massive and devastating holes in vaccine safety science, holes that public health agency ‘watch dogs’ have continually refused to address publicly. Holes that millions of people are only just becoming aware of after massive overreaches that occurred during the COVID Pandemic.

Del recently gave a talk exposing the real pandemic, a pandemic of lies around vaccine safety and policy in the U.S. COVID may have opened your eyes,  but this talk, given in California and now being re-aired for you, will help you understand why COVID was just the tip of the vaccine safety iceberg. Bring a pad and paper, class is in session!

In the July 6 show below, Del explained one of the main reasons for the forced rollout of the COVID shots. It’s a shocking exposé of the failure of vaccines whose safety and efficacy the government and corporate media ridicule anyone for questioning.

Episode 327 “Pandemic of Lies”

Del recently gave a presentation exposing the real pandemic, a pandemic of lies surrounding vaccine safety and policy in the U.S. which The HighWire and ICAN have been investigating since its founding. COVID may have opened your eyes, but this talk, given in California at a fundraiser for the group PERK, and now being presented to you, will help you learn why COVID was just the tip of the vaccine safety iceberg.

Del pointed out that no vaccine on the Childhood Vaccine Schedule has ever been tested against a placebo to ensure that it is safe or effective!

Del explained that the WHO called a meeting in Switzerland on December 23, 2019 to discuss how to stop “vaccine hesitancy.” He pointed out that Episode 145 The Highwire “Who Is Lying To You?” which aired on 1/9/20 covered that meeting.

Unique Position In Human History

Del explained that Heidi Larson, MA PhD, Director of The Vaccine Confidence Project who is the lead psychologist for the WHO, admitted at that meeting that Big Pharma admitted its mistakes.

She said,

We are in a unique position in human history where we’ve shifted the human population to dependency on vaccine-induced immunity. That was on the great assumption that populations would cooperate… We’re in a very fragile state now. We have developed a world that is dependent on vaccinations. We don’t have a choice but to make that effort.

Disney Measles Outbreak

Del pointed out that measles is a trivial childhood illness that kills one in 500,000 and confers life-long immunity to any child who gets it. Del said measles is one of the most infectious viruses the world has ever seen. The problem with requiring kids to get a measles vaccine is that if it doesn’t irradicate the disease, it could ultimately make it more virulent and more dangerous. If so, we are going to have a serious problem on our hands.

Del explained:

Never once have they made a vaccine that does what your God-given immune system does every time you caught a virus. So, here’s what she’s saying. You Baby Boomers in the room are the last hope for herd immunity. You are the only ones who are still immune to measles (because they got the infection rather than the shot). Every adult, their vaccines have worn off.

The big Disneyland outbreak here in California, 50% of them were adults who had been previously vaccinated – 30% caught vaccine-strain measles! You were told it was about unvaccinated. It wasn’t!  It was about waning immunity – something we hear a lot about now with COVID. All the immunity from our childhood vaccines has worn off. They never achieved what they wanted which was herd immunity – natural immunity. So, the issue is no adults (other than Baby Boomers) are immune.

Del added:

Polio is coming back now. They have vaccine-strain polio sweeping all over the Middle East and now it’s in New York – and guess what. They’re thinking of going back to the oral polio vaccine which also can cause polio! Get ready, folks, because this about to get really stupid because these idiots have really messed up! All of their greatest fears are upon them.

Del showed the chart below which lists the 11 vaccines kids were required to get before 1986, the 54 vaccines required by 2017, and the 100s of vaccines for adults planned for the near future. He said,

You are all about to become human pin cushions for companies that are making billions. It will be trillions of dollars within years if we let them get away with this.

Del said the chart below shows the CDC schedule of mandatory vaccines for adults.

Del explains that vaccines did not eradicate disease.

The only thing they eradicated was herd immunity itself! When we lose this last generation of Baby Boomers, it’s over! There’s no herd immunity on this planet. We’re vulnerable to every virus that’s out there.

COVID Policies: Crime Against Humanity

Del pointed out that the childhood vaccine schedule introduced after 1986 erased humanity’s natural herd immunity. So, in December 2019, health officials convened to figure out how to introduce a mandatory adult vaccine schedule to force adults to get shots to protect against infectious diseases. He pointed out that adult vaccines are the cash cow now. Del told the audience, “You are the future of the pharmaceutical take-over of the world!”

The goal of the meeting was to figure out how to scare the entire planet into vaccine submission and avoid the dreaded “vaccine hesitancy”. Del said, “Then suddenly, we had the world’s deadliest cold – all of a sudden, out of nowhere!” Del pointed out that we were told the ONLY solution for COVID was a “warp-speed vaccine” although several inexpensive treatments were known in early 2020.

Del showed that the Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for the COVID shots were illegal because EUAs can be issued ONLY if there NO available treatments. Yet, it was well known in early 2020 that HCQ/zinc and ivermectin were effective inexpensive early treatments. Del pointed out that President Trump wanted to get HCQ released to the public, but Tony Fauci opposed the use of HCQ for COVID. Del explained that HCQ could have saved half of the 1,130,662 Americans who died from COVID!

Del said that the same war was waged against ivermectin for the same reason. He described this as a crime against humanity. Del explained that we were all part of a Tuskegee Experiment during COVID. So, the health agencies believe that the solution to the problem caused by forcing people to follow the childhood vaccine schedule is to force people to follow a new adult vaccine schedule now!

The problem Big Pharma caused puts humanity at risk, but is a huge and permanent cash cow for the drug companies! The US health agencies allowed this to happen – with the collusion of the corporate media and Big Tech who silenced doctors and scientists who opposed this insanity.

Del discussed the explosion of heart attacks and sudden deaths among young athletes.

Ed Dowd: COVID Shots Are Causing Youth Democide explains that when former BlackRock Portfolio Manager Edward Dowd appeared on Stephen Bannon’s War Room – Pandemic, he explained that his insurance industry expert dug into the CDC data and found shocking information related to excess mortality.  “The millennial age group 25 to 44 experienced an 84% increase in excess mortality into the fall. It’s the worst ever excess mortality, I think, in history,” Dowd stated.

Dowd noted how chart four depicts an increased acceleration of excess mortality into the Fall, around the time when mandates and boosters took effect. Putting the CDC’s data into perspective, Dowd said “starting in the summer and into the Fall, with the mandates and the boosters, there were 61,000 excess millennial deaths.”

Basically, millennials experienced a Vietnam War in the second half of 2021.” 58,000 U.S. troops died in the Vietnam War according to Dowd (National Archives stated 58,220 U.S. military fatal casualties of the Vietnam War). “This generation just experienced a Vietnam War.”

Dowd explains how he thinks this data is the smoking gun which shows the COVID-19 injections are causing excess mortality in all age groups. With this shocking data, Dowd labeled this “democide.” The definition of democide, per Wikipedia“Democide is the murder of any person or people by their government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder”. “So the government, through the  mandates, has killed people,” he stated.

Amazon Description

What is killing healthy young Americans? 2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails.

The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent.

And therein lies a story — a story that starts with obvious questions:

  • What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people?
  • What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?

It isn’t COVID, of course, because we know that COVID is not a significant cause of death in young people. Various stakeholders opine about what could be causing this epidemic of unexpected sudden deaths, but “CAUSE UNKNOWN” doesn’t opine or speculate. The facts just are, and the math just is. The book begins with a close look at the actual human reality behind the statistics, and when you see the people who are represented by the dry term Excess Mortality, it’s difficult to accept so many unexpected sudden deaths of young athletes, known to be the healthiest among us.

Similarly, when lots of healthy teenagers and young adults die in their sleep without obvious reason, collapse and die on a family outing, or fall down dead while playing sports, that all by itself raises an immediate public health concern. Or at least it used to.  Ask yourself if you recall seeing these kinds of things occurring during your own life—in junior high? In high school? In college?

How many times in your life did you hear of a performer dropping dead on stage in mid-performance? Your own life experience and intuition will tell you that what you’re about to see is not normal.

Or at least it wasn’t normal before 2021.

Free Assange Protest in London: June 24

Free Assange Protest in London:

June 24

By Neenah Payne

Posted on 06/24/2023




Stella Assange Addresses Australian National Press Club reported on the visit to Australia by Stella Assange, wife of Julian Assange, the Australian founder of WikiLeaks. Stella was in Canberra, Australia on May 22 to address The National Press Club with Jennifer Robinson, Australian human rights lawyer and barrister.

See Stella’s passionate plea as she said the life of her husband is “in the hands of the Australian government” as she pleaded for Canberra to do more to influence the US to stop the pursuit of the WikiLeaks founder. “This is the closest we’ve ever been to securing Julian’s release.

Stella Assange’s Visit To Australia in May

Stella Assange traveled for the first time to Australia where she addressed The National Press Club in Canberra with Jenifer Robinson, Australian Human Rights Lawyer and Barrister.

Watch the full press conference here:

In her first visit to Australia, Stella met with the cross-party Free Assange Parliamentary group alongside Julian’s brother Gabriel, father John Shipton, and lawyer Jen Robinson to brief the politicians on Assange’s case.

You can read Stella’s full speech here: 

https://dontextraditeassange.com/post/stella-assanges-speech-at-the-australian-national-press-club/

Independent Member for Clark, Andrew Wilkie, joined Stella Assange to discuss the continuing incarceration of her husband Julian in Belmarsh Prison. Mr. Assange’s lawyer, Jennifer Robinson was also in attendance.

Julian’s case has reached breaking point, and the Australian Government, Opposition, and his fellow citizens have come together to reject the fact that the United States Government is keeping an Australian citizen in prison and making him suffer because he had the courage to shine a light on injustice,” Mrs. Assange said.

The Australian people are committed to Julian’s freedom, and the unity we see in politics reflects that. It is important to show the Biden administration that Julian’s freedom is not up for debate. It is essential to press freedom, it is essential to justice, and it is essential to its most important ally, Australia.”

Mr Wilkie said it was vital for the Australian Government to ramp up its support for Julian.

Julian Assange is facing the very real possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars in a United States prison unable to witness his two young boys, Gabriel and Max, growing up just for exposing the truth,” Mr Wilkie said. “This political persecution of Julian strikes at the very heart of media freedom, as his extradition would set a frightening precedent for all journalists that they too are at risk of being locked up, just for doing their job.

“There has been growing support for Julian in Australia, with politicians from all parties agreeing that the persecution of Julian has gone on too long and must be brought to an end. In Question Time, I asked Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to meet with Stella to discuss what can be done to bring Julian home. Disappointingly, he didn’t agree to a meeting, but it was heartening to hear him again express his concern that Julian’s incarceration had gone on long enough.

“This Australian has been kept away from his family for too long and is desperate to be reunited. The Government must do everything in its power to see the extradition dropped and Julian to be reunited with his family and allowed to return to Australia.”

She then joined the protest in Sydney alongside Julian Assange’s father John and brother Gabriel Shipton. “What I feel intensely is a concerted effort to bring Julian home from the Australian politicians, obviously from the government and also from the Australian population,” Stella said.

She has called on the prime minister to help free her husband and she also appeared on Australia’s The Project where she explained how Julian’s health is deteriorating since during his time in London’s Ecuadorian Embassy and his incarcerations in Belmarsh Prison.

You can listen to Stella speaking at ABC Radio National where she discussed the push to secure her partner’s release. She also believes they are closer than ever to a resolution in Assange’s long-running case, securing Julian’s release from prison is a matter of life and death.

Watch Stella’s full interview on ABC’s 730:


“Julian is in a 3x2m single cell. He’s in his cell for over 22 hours a day and he only gets to see his family once or twice a week for little more than one hour at a time”.

FBI Reopens Assange Probe

Julian Assange’s lawyer Jen Robinson was invited to Australia’s QandA show where she also spoke about Julian’s case and said the US is “prosecuting journalism” in its bid to extradite the jailed WikiLeaks founder and that it “diminishes our ability to raise free speech concerns internationally.”

FBI Reopens Probe Into Julian Assange reported on June 2:

The FBI has restarted its investigation into WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age reported on Thursday. According to a front-page story in the SMH, the FBI is looking to build its case up against Assange, who was indicted by the US Justice Department in 2019 for exposing US war crimes by publishing classified documents he obtained from a source, a standard journalistic practice….

Assange’s legal team was surprised by the FBI request, which came amid building pressure on the Biden administration to drop the charges against the WikiLeaks founder. A delegation of Australian lawmakers recently met with the US ambassador to Australia and called on Washington to free Assange, who has been held in London’s Belmarsh Prison since the indictment. “It appears they are continuing to try to investigate, which I find unusual given the amount of time that has passed since the investigation began,” Stephen Kenny, Assange’s Australian lawyer, told SMH….

Assange’s brother Gabriel Shipton said it appears that the US might be seeking a new indictment against Assange and that it showed an acknowledgment of “how weak the charges” are against him.

The Biden administration has also come under domestic pressure over Assange. A group of House Democrats led by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) recently sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland urging him to drop the charges.

Free Julian Assange: Noam Chomsky, Dan Ellsberg & Jeremy Corbyn Lead Call at Belmarsh Tribunal

Former British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg and famed linguist and dissident Noam Chomsky joined others earlier this year calling on President Biden to drop charges against Julian Assange. The WikiLeaks founder has been languishing for over four years in the harsh Belmarsh prison in London while appealing extradition to the United States. If he is extradited, tried and convicted, Assange faces up to 175 years in jail for violating the U.S. Espionage Act for publishing documents that exposed U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Belmarsh Tribunal at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. in January was organized by the Progressive International and the Wau Holland Foundation.

London Protest Saturday, June 24

On Saturday 24th June, Davide Dormino will bring his Anything to Say? statue to London for one day only! If you have anything to say, then join us in Parliament Square from 1pm.

“Anything To Say?” is a life-size bronze sculpture portraying three figures each one standing on a chair. The fourth chair is empty because it is our chair. The one for us to stand up on to express ourselves or simply to stand next to Edward Snowden, Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning, who had the courage to say “No!” to the intrusion of global surveillance and to lies that lead to war.

When: Saturday 24 June at 1pm BST
Where: Parliament square, London UK

Mark your calendars!
