The RIP Of Habeas Corpus

Martin Armstrong reports that Julian Assange is being left to waste away in solitary confinement, with the intention that he will never be publicly tried.

The US prosecutors are conspiring with the British to ensure that Julian Assange never goes to trial and what is taking place is the collapse of civility and Justice which has become sheer vengeance and political prosecution. The British will not allow independent doctors to visit Assange meanwhile they have been keeping him like Jeffrey Epstein in solitary confinement. This is where they keep people who are really political enemies of the states who will never be given a fair trial.

Rulers don't clamor for power to put themselves on trial, and do not subject themselves to the rule of law any more than is necessary. (In a corrupt system, that means hardly at all.) The principle applies to the system more so than individuals; it does not mean that dissidents are always tried, for example. In a fair trial, the prosecution is exposed for public scrutiny as much as the defendant. If the government makes someone out to be a public enemy for decades and then imprisons him for years, they better have a case to make. Otherwise the tyranny is exposed, the illusion of justice fades.

The government wants to imprison Assange and make an example of him. They don't want to drag him to court to charge him with first-degree journalism, and they absolutely do not want him put under oath to testify in regards to Russiagate. Instead, they'll maneuver to detain him indefinitely, with no opportunity for defense. Habeas corpus, the bedrock of the Anglo legal tradition, is no more.

Other examples abound. A Navy Seal team was raided bin Laden's compound with orders to kill. A public trial of 9/11 was never going to happen. Similar was the recent assassination of the Iranian general. Nabbing him was not an option; not necessarily because of technical limitations, but because putting a foreign military leader on trial for interfering with America's imperial projects is not possible when the official line is still that we went to Iraq to liberate its people, who now hold sovereign domain over their territory.

If Epstein really was a Mossad agent running a blackmail ring in America, then that dirty laundry was certainly never going to air. Hillary Clinton evaded the courts too, and Comey made a mockery of the justice system in the process by detailing all the reasons she should be prosecuted before announcing that no reasonable prosecutor would take up the case. He was right: no reasonable lawyer would dare violate the edict that the rulers don't go to trial. No one associated with FISAgate - which was treasonous - has been charged or even terribly inconvenienced. They won't be tried because the people in charge don't want a play-by-play court transcripts of how the Democrats and their federal allies were able to fabricate intel and then launder it to the point that a high-ranking Senator was passing it directly to the director of the FBI and an elected president was subjected to a special counsel shakedown has his first term. If you are ever tempted to commit a crime, choose one such that its revelation will embarrass the ruling class. You'll skate.

It's the reason the Democrats ramrodded an impeachment vote through the House only to freeze stiff at the reality of passing it on to the Senate for a trial. It will never go to trial because that would be a disaster for these enemies of truth. They are trying to leverage the illusion of pending legal proceedings to gain access to Trump's records (and the classified findings of the Mueller report) to gain something damaging to use in the upcoming election. They are (once again) using the federal justice system to execute their opposition research for them. The desperation must be high to risk the one outcome that the corrupt rulers avoid at all cost: to be subjected to a public trial - even as prosecutors.
