#Assange Bail Hearing 6 January 2021
On the videolink to London and waiting to cross to the court room.

Within 2hrs we’ll know if Julian will walk out of that court room or head back to Covid infected Belmarsh to spend potentially another couple of years while appeals are heard.

 They are having internet problems. Our screen was frozen for 10 mins. They fixed it but mine is frozen again. Trying to reconnect. @AndrewJFowler & I still in the virtual waiting room
I’m in.
13 waiting in the waiting room will be pretty nervous as we have passed the cut off time but the host is continuing to let people in.
We’re all asking the host to request a sound check as we missed the first half hour of what the judge said yesterday
Crossed to court. This is a different, more modern court room.
Camera is on the glass box at the back of the court room.
Mark Summers on a split screen with court.
Judge enters.
Asks for Julian. Told he is on his way up.
Julian in a suit, wearing a mask
Hearing objections to bail first
We have all lost sound
Prosecution making the case that he cannot be trusted as he is determined to avoid extradition.
Quoting Kromberg on JA helping Snowden to avoid justice..
Prosecution giving details of the assistance provided and alternative plans contemplated for Snowden by Wikileaks
...JA has resources, know-how and determination to abscond.
.. he is capable to going to any length, including spending 7 years in an Embassy to escape extradition
.. detailing his failure to adhere to bail conditions in the Swedish case
..Disdaining the law of the land, costing the State £16M
.. he should stay in Belmarsh where the judgement asserts conditions are not intolerable
.. 3 Covid infected prisoners have been moved from his section of the jail so there is no threat to his health - this was an update provided to the Prosecution today.
..Citing precedents on bail refusals & setting out grounds of appeal. Judge interrupts her as this is unnecessary- they have leave to appeal & she doesn’t need to hear what they will argue.
..prosecution continues.. Defense is relying on his having children.. which he had knowing his his predicament.
Fitzgerald: you have our written submission. Grounds have changed. Your decision changes everything, his motive to abscond, in the context of perusing due process in this country.
He has been detained for 15 months AFTER his bail penalty lapsed. He has been detained since then ..
.. for the purpose of the extradition application. You have discharged him and he is entitled now to be free. US Prosecutor who is the boss of Kromberg is ambivalent about pursuing this matter further, questioning how long this should go on for.
..JA should at least have his conditional liberty, given after all these years a ruling has been made that he should be discharged.
.. The court’s ruling removes any reason for Mr A to abscond but rather to stay in this jurisdiction where his rights are being protected.
..due to Covid he hasn’t seen his family since March last year. He needs to reestablish his physical connection with his family. Fitzgerald says some 50% of inmates have or have had Covid. Judge interrupts him & asks why the discrepancy between the information the Prosecution ..
.. just provided.. he is talking to Gareth Pierce.. over 90 people have had Covid. Belmarsh confirmed 60 have had it but 90 tested positive. The person who has the paperwork has not been allowed into court,
Prosecution stands to read info from Belmarsh. Late Nov there was a rise: sick 24, positive 85 (incl staff), positive prisoners 3. (Me: surely it’s immaterial whether they are prisoners or staff..)
Prosecution reiterates there are 3 positive prisoners, as of last night’s email from the prison, which the judge is accepting.
Fitzgerald making the point that the Covid situation is worse now & he is more at risk in Belmarsh where there was a spike recently (in November)
(Me: surely given the situation in the general community, it is very likely to spike again..)
Fitzgerald citing Laurie Love case where he was discharged on bail.
.. there is no significant incentive to abscond, but to remain in this jurisdiction to ensure his liberty is secured finally plus he has a family & wishes to live with them & he would be under house arrest. Tracy W. has offered a home for Stella & JA & is providing £10,000 surety
Adds that Also a significant number of responsible people are offering surety
Fitzgerald argues how could the court deny him his liberty, to reduce the risk of Covid by not being in the closed community of a prison.
Asking for a short break to get instructions on matters Prosecution raised, including the Mexican offer. This was to come to fruition after the conclusion of proceedings. Judge says that doesn’t make sense. He replies that he may remain safe in this jurisdiction but not elsewhere
(Me: note why it is not safe for him to come to Australia)
Court break for Fitzgerald to get further instructions re matters raised by the Prosecution
The Mexican offer refers to the recent offer of asylum. This is all as a result of the reality dawning on everyone that just because British courts may refuse extradition, that does not prevent the US from attempting it all over again in another jurisdiction.
The Australian government does not guarantee not to extradite him to the US after all this..
Fitzgerald: going to the Ecuadorian Embassy lead to him being confined for years & then following a change of govt he was ejected - not an experience he is interested in repeating.
And t(e Mexican offer has been misquoted: the President has asked the Foreign Minister to explore thru proper channels with UK govt to poss offer asylum at conclusion of legal proceedings.
Re Covid there are still no visits, so if he remains there, he will not have visitors, at risk of Covid & a fellow prisoner very recently committed suicide .
.. effectively he can be put under house arrest.

Judge re costs: the order shouldn’t take effect till result of appeal.
Judge: bail decision

US have already lodged their appeal. Outcome of appeal is not yet known. JA still has reason to abscond. If he absconds they will lose opportunity to appeal. He has let down people who have put up surety in the past. Belmarsh bares no comparison to USprison
..he helped Snowden abscond... he may fail to show up. Bail denied.
Gareth spent the hearing sitting just outside the glass box & is the last person to speak to J before he was taken away. She was scurrying back & forth. An immense disappointment for her she & his legal team were unable to convince the judge.
I hope @Snowden understands the cost to Julian of the help he gave him. He is still paying for it.
Not that it was the only reason he was denied bail, but it is certainly regarded as proof of the assistance he is capable of giving someone to evade “justice”
Julian’s life will be on hold now for possibly another couple of years and his health will remain at higher risk from Covid than the general community though his health is already compromised. This is very tough for him and for his family. But let’s not forget: No Extradition

@Deppology
Counter-claim - when the defendant in a case “counter-sues” the plaintiff. So in this case JD is the plaintiff, AH is the defendant, she has counter-sued JD - in layman’s terms that’s her saying ‘you sued me, so I’m going to sue you!”. 🙄

AH’s counter-claim is actually rather poorly drafted (IMO!) and, to quote AH herself is “very dramatic”. It contains very little in the way of valid case law (see my video on caselaw) to support her claims and, to me, actually does read like someone throwing a tantrum!

Her counter-claim, when you cut through the crap, seeks: Declaratory Judgment, seeks to pursue a defamation claim against JD, and to pursue a claim against JD under the Virginia Computer Crimes Act (“Bot-Gate”)

So… Declaratory Judgment. This duplicates the Anti-SLAPP immunity that AH has included in her Defence so this part of the counter-claim DUPLICATES an argument she has already made. The Judge decided that Declaratory Judgment was not appropriate.

So the issue she sought to resolve with the DJ is already being dealt with in her Defence & will be dealt with at Trial… which is what the Judge means when he said to hear her Defence and her counter claim for declaratory judgment would be to hear the same issue twice.

At the root of my work is safeguarding human life. I support a massive buildout of public transit because it makes life fundamentally better, reduces greenhouse emissions, and saves lives. 1/

In the United States, car accidents are one of the leading causes of death and injury for children under the age of 18. https://t.co/RrYVtaoFRd 2/

A few years ago my family and I were driving from visiting relatives in Texas when we were stuck in traffic on the I-10. We were at a complete dead stop when a woman (texting) in a Suburban hit us at 70 mph. She crushed the back of our car like a soda can. 3/


Thankfully, our two-year-old was in a good carseat and I absorbed the brunt of the injuries with a few shards of glass in my scalp. I won't show those pictures! While a high speed rail network along the Gulf Coast may have not prevented that accident, it could prevent most. 4/

Electrifying household appliances will reduce our 'dependence' on natural gas and transmission methane leaks, but the switch will also cut the number of carbon monoxide poisonings and natural gas related explosions that kill Americans everyday. 5/

From #NoahsArmy⚡️ For Those New To His Story

On Sunday 21st June, 14 year old Noah Donohoe left his home to meet his friends at Cave Hill Belfast to study for school. #RememberMy💙

If thread stops please press show replies


Noah was on his black Apollo mountain bike, fully dressed, wearing a helmet and carrying a backpack containing his laptop and 2 books with his name on them. He also had his mobile phone with him.

On the 27th of June. Noah's naked body was sadly discovered 950m inside a storm drain, between access points. This storm drain was accessible through an area completely unfamiliar to him, behind houses at Northwood Road.


"Noah's body was found by specially trained police officers between two drain access points within a section of the tunnel running under the Translink access road," said Mr

Noah's bike was also found near a house, behind a car, in the same area. It had been there for more than 24 hours before a member of public who lived in the street said she read reports of a missing child and checked the bike and phoned the police.

After Pence did not overturn the election, Christenson said thousands of people crushed forward. “I saw one Marine veteran tell a cop, just take your hand off your gun, b/c if you pull it this is going to be a bloodbath. The cop took his hand off it & started moving aside.”🤬

Keep dwelling on this:
Further Examination of the Motif near PRRA Reveals Close Structural Similarity to the SEB Superantigen as well as Sequence Similarities to Neurotoxins and a Viral SAg.

The insertion PRRA together with 7 sequentially preceding residues & succeeding R685 (conserved in β-CoVs) form a motif, Y674QTQTNSPRRAR685, homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera, as well as neurotoxin-like regions from three RABV strains

(20) (Fig. 2D). We further noticed that the same segment bears close similarity to the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 SAg motif F164 to V174.

प्राचीन काल में गाधि नामक एक राजा थे।उनकी सत्यवती नाम की एक पुत्री थी।राजा गाधि ने अपनी पुत्री का विवाह महर्षि भृगु के पुत्र से करवा दिया।महर्षि भृगु इस विवाह से बहुत प्रसन्न हुए और उन्होने अपनी पुत्रवधु को आशीर्वाद देकर उसे कोई भी वर मांगने को कहा।


सत्यवती ने महर्षि भृगु से अपने तथा अपनी माता के लिए पुत्र का वरदान मांगा।ये जानकर महर्षि भृगु ने यज्ञ किया और तत्पश्चात सत्यवती और उसकी माता को अलग-अलग प्रकार के दो चरू (यज्ञ के लिए पकाया हुआ अन्न) दिए और कहा कि ऋतु स्नान के बाद तुम्हारी माता पुत्र की इच्छा लेकर पीपल का आलिंगन...

...करें और तुम भी पुत्र की इच्छा लेकर गूलर वृक्ष का आलिंगन करना। आलिंगन करने के बाद चरू का सेवन करना, इससे तुम दोनो को पुत्र प्राप्ति होगी।परंतु मां बेटी के चरू आपस में बदल जाते हैं और ये महर्षि भृगु अपनी दिव्य दृष्टि से देख लेते हैं।

भृगु ऋषि सत्यवती से कहते हैं,"पुत्री तुम्हारा और तुम्हारी माता ने एक दुसरे के चरू खा लिए हैं।इस कारण तुम्हारा पुत्र ब्राह्मण होते हुए भी क्षत्रिय सा आचरण करेगा और तुम्हारी माता का पुत्र क्षत्रिय होकर भी ब्राह्मण सा आचरण करेगा।"
इस पर सत्यवती ने भृगु ऋषि से बड़ी विनती की।


सत्यवती ने कहा,"मुझे आशीर्वाद दें कि मेरा पुत्र ब्राह्मण सा ही आचरण करे।"तब महर्षि ने उसे ये आशीर्वाद दे दिया कि उसका पुत्र ब्राह्मण सा ही आचरण करेगा किन्तु उसका पौत्र क्षत्रियों सा व्यवहार करेगा। सत्यवती का एक पुत्र हुआ जिसका नाम जम्दाग्नि था जो सप्त ऋषियों में से एक हैं।

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.


Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.


But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K. Let’s sort it out.

[THREAD]


1/ Two nights ago, Rupert Murdoch called on Mitch McConnell, after hours. Since then, two Fox News-related Twitter accounts have not tweeted.

2/ Trump fired Sessions on Wednesday, replacing him with human dildo/Putin collaborator Matt Whitaker. Sessions had asked to stay until Friday and was told to leave immediately. So there was clearly some urgency to install the dildo...er, puppet.

3/ The Democrats won the SHIT out of the Midterms. Come January, the House check on Trump will leave him so hobbled, he’ll be like the dude from Misery.

4/ Trump went to Paris, ostensibly for an Armistice Day centennial event. He skipped the event, and much of the dinner tonight, because of “weather,” which everyone seems to agree is a bullshit excuse.
