LADIES and gentlemen, the transition from years of confinement in a maximum security prison to being here before the representatives of 46 nations and 700 million people is a profound and a surreal shift. The experience of isolation for years in a small cell is difficult to convey. It strips away one sense of self, leaving only the raw essence of existence...

GIVE me a sec to think. I need to make a list. Two. The genocide in Gaza, the Middle East tinderbox, Bezalel Smotrich, the lost proxy war in Ukraine, relations with Russia, the danger of nuclear war, the fate of NATO, China, the threat of war with Iran, the emergence of a new world order, Europe鈥檚 turn toward populism, third world debt, global inequality...
AFTER a 14-year struggle, including five years spent in Belmarsh, a maximum-security prison in London, WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange is finally free.

THE truth defies power and denies dying. Truth survives by surmounting odds and obstacles. Despite this trajectory of truth, sometimes it appears to be dying 鈥� a short phenomenon in life. Julian Assange鈥檚 journey to freedom presents this fact: a simultaneous act of surviving and the apparent dying of truth. The Spanish define truth in a proverb: 鈥楾ruth is God鈥檚 daughter鈥�. The daughter lives...

SO JULIAN Assange won his right to appeal extradition to the United States from England. How long before that next legal step takes place? Months, a year? Who knows? You can bet neither Joe 鈥極nly Pardons for Them That Don鈥檛 Need 鈥楨m鈥� Biden nor Donald 鈥楳aybe a Pardon鈥� Trump is keeping track...
