Advocates for Julian Assange are calling on President Donald Trump to pardon the besieged WikiLeaks founder before Assange-hating Leftists are inaugurated back into the White House in January.
The WikiLeaks founder is facing extradition from Britain and over 100 years in prison for playing a role in publishing compromising Pentagon documents on [the Deep State’s – as some would argue] ‘misconduct’ during the war in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2010 and 2011. (Swedish rape charges brought against Assange in 2017 were dropped in 2019 due to ‘a weakening of evidence.’)
Assange is disliked by career politicians on both sides of the political aisle.
None so vengeful as The Democrats because WikiLeaks published Clinton campaign emails during the 2016 election, which is said to have won Donald Trump the unwinnable election.
Meeting with Assange in February this year, Senator Andrew Wilkie and M.P George Christensen, dubbed by the ABC’s Fran Kelly as an ‘odd couple’, have been spearheading a high-level political advocacy group in favour of Assange’s release.
Wilkie, himself a “whistleblower” (knighted as such by veteran journalist, Laurie Oakes, legacy media and academia), was a Government analyst who resigned, and publicly challenged the legitimate allegations about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
For Wilkie, Assange is innocent.
The charges in the U.S are based on allegations which claim that WikiLeaks endangered Americans. However, “no one has been able to point to where National Security was compromised, hurt or put a risk by WikiLeaks.”
In regards to the Clintons, Wilkie said, “I don’t like Trump, and would have preferred Hillary win, but if we are to really argue that WikiLeaks is a journalistic organisation, [we have to look at whether or not they] released material without fear or favour.”
Wilkie told Fran Kelly, Assange “did the right thing” by acting in the “public interest.”
Wilkie and Christensen’s 11 member, Bring Julian Assange Home Parliamentary Friends Group was formally approved by both the Australian Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives in October 2019.
According to a February 2020 article in the Sydney Morning Herald, ‘apart from Mr Christensen [the case to free Assange] has no other government members. Both the Coalition and Labor have been reluctant to voice public support for the Australian activist.’
In consideration of the gathering shadows drooling with anticipation at an approaching Biden presidency, Christensen has stepped up his advocacy for Assange by publicly asking President Donald Trump to pardon Assange.
Posting on Facebook, George Christensen upped the ante:
How to annoy Killary.
1. Go to www.PardonJulianAssange.com or www.georgechristensen.com.au/pardon-julian-assange
2. Send a message to Donald J. Trump asking him to pardon Julian Assange.
3. Remember that Jeffery Epstein didn’t kill himself.
In an exclusive for Sky News, Christensen explained,
“Assange has been a target of the Democrats. You hear a lot of lefties suggesting this is Donald Trump’s war on Assange. It’s anything but. It was started under the Obama administration. Hillary Clinton hates his guts obviously for exposing who the real Hillary was. You’ve had a war on Assange by the Democrats and the Deep State ever since. Joe Biden called Assange a criminal, a high-tech terrorist. [Pardoning Assange] is one way that Donald Trump can stand up for free speech. He’s been a big fighter on that his whole presidency, and against the Cancel Culture ideology of the Left. I think this is one way he can stand up once again and show that he is that defender of freedom of speech.”
Citing well-reasoned broad concerns about voting irregularities, and evidence of electoral fraud, he added,
“…the same people who’ve wanted Trump our of office, are the same people who’ve waged war on Julian Assange. They want to lock him up to rot in a gaol cell. [Pardoning Assange] is way that Trump can ensure that free speech is protected.”
It might not be a matter of will Donald Trump pardon Julian Assange, but a matter of does he have the time to do so.
After the November election saw the Democrats take power through questionable means in four key states, Trump has had his hands full trying to preserve the Union alongside states who upheld their end of the constitution.
As noted by Fran Kelly, not everyone agrees that Assange should be acquitted on the grounds of freedom of the press and freedom of speech.
WikiLeaks pioneered replacement media and were first on the field in the fight for truth against falsehood, and they’re hounded by Cancel Culture and a political class whose wealth and dynasties are built on the backs of taxpayers, smiles, lies and hi-fives.
If the hate-Trump/loves-trumps-hate, anti-Assange Democrats get their way, as four years of division, violence and threats of revolution seem to have afforded them, like a large portion of America and the free world, Trump may be Assange’s last hope in securing freedom.
