The whole the mainstream media, directly involved in the crimes of locking down truth and free speech, were absent in their totality as Julian Assange was bundled out unceremoniously from the Ecuadorian Embassy yesterday. That they had full knowledge of the impending arrest yet did nothing is an indictment of their complicity. 

The only  outlet having exclusive record was Ruptly TV who had RT.com provide the horrifying images and information to a public starved of  so much truthful input.

RT.com chief Margarita Simonyan's response to CNN and Guardian journalists who called her and asked why RT was the only camera crew at Assange's arrest (implying Assange is connected to the Russians):

"The most obvious proof of the disgrace that the world media has become is that only we filmed the arrest of Assange today. Although this was not the first time that all of them were expecting his expulsion. And now they are forced to show our footage of the event.
CNN and Guardian still have the shamelessness to call us and ask, how was it that only we were there.
Yes, because you are shameless hypocritical lackeys of your establishment, and not journalists. That's why it happened."

John Pilger, a most extraordinary truth reporting and ethical journalist quite rightly states:

"If we lose the Assanges – and there aren’t many of them, a handful maybe and certainly no one like him – if we lose the WikiLeaks, then we lose a whole stratum of freedom. We stop questioning.

The United States has aroused the ire because what we are in the midst of is the world’s greatest superpower struggling to maintain its dominance. Its information dominance, its technological dominance, its cultural dominance. And WikiLeaks has presented an extreme hurdle to this." 

Pilger goes on to say:
"The glimpse of Julian Assange being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy in London is an emblem of the times. Might against right. 

But to hell with that. Let the thugs go in. Directed by the quasi fascists

For many they will see (or not see if they source their news from MSM) no real relevance or import from the events of the Assange story. They will believe he is a misogynist, bay for his being sent into the terrorist hands of the ultra criminal US Government's crooked justice system and 'lost' to the world.

Yet what is behind all this is the final push towards an obliteration of common freedoms, an annihilation of alternative views disseminated and the criminalisation of any press worthy of that name to call out government, injustice and criminality. Here the Mainstream media have excelled themselves in being the repeaters of their Gov's propaganda and lies, with little exceptions.

When we lose freedoms like these it is nigh impossible to regain them. However the saddest of all are those foolish enough to let these things transpire while thinking they are immune to any of it. They will be the first to be slaughtered. Their ignorance being the pass key to demise and saddest of all they will never see it coming.

Too Dramatic?
Hardly, if any with two brain cells thought about it. The inveigling through the drip, drip, drip of gradual capture through ignorance and mind fed propaganda has been going on for decades. Each step planned assiduously.

What has happened to Julian Assange can happen to anyone across , the world, believe it!
I leave the final word to John Pilger in this interview with Afshin Rattansi on RT’s Going Underground program......
