The nightmare is over for Julian Assange. Reports are reaching the wire that a deal was reached for his release, a fact that is being celebrated by freedom-loving people, his supporters and especially his fiancee and children. The push began about a month ago, when Assange won an appeal challenging his extradition to the United States.
Assange has been fighting extradition for more than a decade: first in connection with a sex crimes case in Sweden, then in connection with the case against him in the United States. In March, the High Court in London granted him permission for a full hearing on his appeal as he sought assurances that he could rely on the First Amendment in a trial in the US. In May, two High Court judges said he could have a full hearing on whether he would be discriminated against in the US because he is a foreigner. A hearing on the issue of Assange's speech rights had been scheduled for July 9-10.
Finally, the long and ridiculous battle to crush Assange is coming to an end. We wish the US would have backed down and admitted defeat, but of course the regime would never opt for such humility and humanity – they thrive on people with strong convictions so they can make a “win”. So they struck a deal with Assange, where he will plead guilty to “conspiracy,” which will finally allow him to go home. You can't blame Assange for this outcome, but you can definitely blame the regime.
WASHINGTON – WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange plans to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge this week as part of a deal with the US Justice Department that will see him walk free after serving five years in a British prison, according to court documents.
Assange was charged with criminal information, which usually means a plea deal, of conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, court documents say. A letter from Justice Department official Matthew McKenzie to U.S. District Judge Ramona Manglona of the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands said Assange would appear in court Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. local (or, at 7:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday) to plead guilty. and said the DOJ expects Assange to return to Australia, his country of citizenship, after the proceedings.
The US charges against Assange stem from one of the largest leaks of classified information in US history, which took place during the first term of Barack Obama's presidency. Beginning in late 2009, according to the government, Assange conspired with Chelsea Manning, a military intelligence analyst, to release tens of thousands of activity reports on the war in Afghanistan, hundreds of thousands of 'reports on the war in Iraq, hundreds of thousands of State Department cables and Guantánamo Bay detainee assessment reports through his WikiLeaks website.
Court documents revealing Assange's plea agreement were filed Monday evening in the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory in the Pacific Ocean. Assange was expected to appear in that court and be sentenced to 62 months, with credit for time served in a British prison, meaning he would be free to return to Australia, where he was born.
Assange is already on his way home.

The cause to free Julian Assange has become a rallying cry on the right and has ignited passion among a wide range of campaigners. Earlier this year, Vivek appeared on Don Jr.'s podcast. and urged President Trump to pardon non-violent J6 prisoners Douglass Mackey and Julian Assange immediately after returning to the White House.
Vivek Ramaswamy talks about the importance of a long list of first-day presidential pardons, a powerful move required by the next president to restore a sense of justice to the country.
He mentions Douglass Mackey, Julian Assange and peaceful J6 protesters.
@DonaldJTrumpJr agrees with Vivek that the deep state must be *shut down* that is enabling the two-tier justice system.

Two years ago, Darren Beattie Revolver News had the privilege of an exclusive interview with Stella Moris-Smith Robinson, Julian's beloved fiancee and the mother of his children.
Amazingly, an ever-growing group of righteous patriots from around the world have come together to call for Assange's freedom. Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin had her emails released by Wikileaks in 2008, but on Saturday called her earlier attacks on Assange a “mistake” and called on President Trump to pardon the Wikileaks publisher. Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz and Democrat Tulsi Gabbard have joined in endorsing clemency for Assange as well. Actress Pamela Anderson also wants clemency, as does Iranian dissident and Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi.
A recent tweet by Pastor Mark Burns mistakenly announcing an imminent pardon for Assange has amassed nearly 200,000 likes on Twitter.
Stella Moris-Smith Robinson is a South African-born human rights lawyer. He was a member of Assange's legal team during his stay at the Ecuadorian embassy. Now, she is his fiancée. The couple have two children together. Moris has spent years fighting relentlessly for Assange's freedom, and she graciously agreed to join Revolver for an exclusive interview.

First of all, thank you so much for agreeing to do this interview and for your bravery in defense of Julian and his mission. Your appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight was powerful and remains a must-see for patriots around the world. Let's start with the crime Julian is accused of, a violation of the Espionage Act of 1917. Is there any evidence that Julian committed espionage? From what I've seen, he published classified information, which is something that all major newspapers, such as the New York Times, have done. There are also claims that he helped his Chelsea source hide his identity, which is also standard journalistic practice. So where is the real crime here?
There is none. This is an unconstitutional political case that has bent the law to suit its political purpose. It turns necessary journalistic practices—communicating with a source and having and publishing factual information—into crimes.
To say that it is a crime for Julian to have published this material is as absurd as to say that American journalists are legally bound not to violate the secrecy or censorship laws of China, Turkey or France, even though they publish in the United States . Legislations must say about this, I think we can all agree: this proposition cannot be right.
Sometimes I hear Julian mentioned in the same breath as famous American whistleblowers. But their cases are different. They are American citizens. They worked for the US government. This does not apply to Julian. Julian is an editor. It wasn't in the United States. He was not a government employee or a contractor. He never signed a confidentiality agreement. The only promise he made was to the public, to publish the truth about governments and corporations. Everyone has their role in a free society and Julian's role is to publish.
The strength of the First Amendment is that it is simple, clear, absolute. It's really exceptional when you compare it to equivalent rights in Europe, and that comes from the fact that it's not what people think it is. It does not give people rights that can be withdrawn. It prohibits legislators and the executive from interfering with speech and publication. Therefore, what is illegal is passing laws that attempt to criminalize speech and the press.
So how can this be avoided? Well, no, if you comply with the Constitution. What is happening is that those running the case against Julian—the most sinister elements of the US government—are abusing the broad wording of an existing law, the Espionage Act of 1917, to re-propose it so that it does. what the First Amendment prohibits: interfering with freedom of speech and the press. The political case against Julian has created a noose around everyone's First Amendment rights.
During the Obama years, the DOJ normalized the reorientation of the Espionage Act to prosecute whistleblowers. But expanding it to apply to journalists and publishers goes against what is in the spirit and wording of the Constitution. The stated intent of Congress when it passed the Espionage Act was that it would not apply to the press. Julian's case is the first time it has been used against a publisher. That is why everyone agrees, in all aspects of politics, that the case against Julian is the number one threat to freedom of speech and freedom of the press and will have catastrophic consequences for democracy north american
While Republicans might not have worried about this under the current administration, the threat this case poses to them should now be obvious. It is true that if the case moves forward, the precedent it sets will be abused by the most anti-democratic elements of future administrations.
You can read the entire interview here:
Talk about prophetic: our earlier mention that, if left unchecked, the Dems would use the Assange case as a precedent to target us all really. The regime has ruthlessly abused its power, targeting every political adversary it can, from President Trump on down.
We hope that American political prisoners and those who have suffered the “Assange treatment” under the Biden regime will also find justice, hopefully without succumbing to these orchestrated “conspiracy” deals. In the meantime, we're delighted that Julian is finally back home with his family. We wish him all the best.
