#Assange Extradition Decision

Joined the videolink to London’s Old Bailey.

There are 12 of us on this link so far, but journalists can join for another half an hour.

Well cross to the court room shortly before 10 London time.

ABC News Europe correspondent @lb_online also on the link
Carrie-Ann Greenbank from Channel 9 also
38 of us now plus Jen Robinson.
We’re in court . Nothing to see yet
Prosecution lawyers walking in. We don’t have a view of the whole room this time, at least not so far. A close up f a glass box. I presume that’s where they will bring Julian.
View of front of court now. Then paying court room & back to the glass boxed space.
Fitzgerald asked for water (off camera) but he is told there are no ushers.
Lots of brouhaha among the BBC journos who thought they were all approved. Only one per organisation allowed..
I heard Fitzgerald say something about 10.30... that cuts it down to half an hour. Very short..
Julian
Mask, suit. Close up. Trying to talk to someone but not in view.
Judge enters
Julian giving his name.
Terrible echo when judge speaking. Uggghh
She will make written judgement available.
We ate complaining on the chat function because we can’t hear the judge.
She said she would make a short statement & is reading it but the echo is so bad I can’t hear her words.
Host says they have made the court aware of the audio problem. It will all be over before they fix it.
She is summarising events.
This looks like a bigger court room & they obviously didn’t test the judge’s audio. Pretty appalling.
I am hearing from another on the link who has better audio that her findings are terrible. But I can’t fuckin* hear & neither can many others.
They just moved her mic. Better
Impact on Stella & children of extradition : Nothing out of the ordinary
Jury pool in US will be drawn from 6 counties, ensuring impartiality.
She doesn’t accept any Defence arguments. All constitutional protections she believes will be made available to him.
Detailing doctrines of Due Process protections in the US.
No basis for reaching the conclusion she says he will not receive the protections of the US Constitution.
She claims once he is on US soil, he will have the protection of US Constitution
“This court trusts that the US will protect Mr Assange’s rights”
On his health: accept he suffers from episodic depression & Aspergers.
Accepts he has had suicidal thoughts.
.. Has planned for his death.
A depressed & despairing man.
Suicide in the family.
Us conditions - real risk he will be held under SAMs
Quoting Pompeo on WL being a hostile ...
Real risk he will be held at ADX
Significant isolation, little contact with family or other people.
2 phone calls a month.
Conditions will have a deleterious effect on him.
He has the intelligence & determination to circumvent Suicide protocols
Oh my god
No EXtradition
Us has 14 days to appeal
Bail.... question
Fitzgerald: can we agree on bail today?
No she is “not in a position to”
She wants to know if he is ready to apply for bail today
He wants to speak to Julian first

This is trash, @AP. Utter garbage. Shame on the “journalists” who wrote this (really? You needed 2 people to report out this garbage?) Also, you don’t even make clear that this lady is wrong. You treat it as a legitimate position. What the fuck is wrong with you?


Look at this. This treats both views as legitimate. Fucking garbage.


Have you learned nothing?! This is such bullshit. Why the fuck do I even bother trying to push back on bad journalism? No one in positions of power ever listen.

I used to think that bad journalism was mostly the result of honest mistakes, but the past few years have really hammered home for me how much it is intentional trash. Shame on @AP for that bullshit. Shame on @ABC for letting Rand Paul rant about his election conspiracy theories.

Seriously, @AP @ClaireGalofaro @JulietLinderman? You didn’t even bother to note that this lady’s delusions are false.
THREAD:
Instead of attacking those of us raising it, why aren’t mainstream “liberal” journalists on here as outraged as we are about how many senior Democratic Party figures seem to have been compromised by Chinese spies?

Genocide is non-negotiable

See examples:

1) Dem Senator Feinstein’s staffer for 20 years outed as a Chinese spy


2) Dem Eric Swallwell caught in a female Chinese spy’s snare:


3) Dem Senator Boxer registers as a foreign agent for Chinese surveillance firm:


3) Dem Hunter Biden allegedly invests in Megvii, a firm accused of helping to round up Uyghurs using A+++ facial recognition technology

Some bats & pangolins carry viruses related with SARS-CoV-2, found in SE Asia and in Yunnan, & the pangolins carrying SARS-CoV-2 related viruses were smuggled from SE Asia, so there is a possibility that SARS-CoV-2 were coming from
