#CODEPINK Demands #Biden Pardon the #Activists and #Whistleblowers

Dec. 18, 2024

"CODEPINK calls for the pardon of several political prisoners, activists, lawyers and other individuals who faced targeted prosecution or unjust imprisonment. President Biden has just over 30 days left in the Oval Office where he can exercise his pardon power. In recent weeks, he pardoned his own son, fraudsters, and a former judge who took millions in kickbacks to send children to prison under false charges. We demand President Biden issue pardons to whistleblowers, truth tellers, activists, and land-defenders such as:

#LeonardPeltier
#StevenDonziger
#AssataShakur
#MumiaAbu-Jamal
#JulianAssange
#EdwardSnowden
#JohnKiriakou
#JamilAlAmin
#KamauSadiki
#ShukriAbuBaker
#GhassanElashi

"CODEPINK believes that to build a more just and peaceful world, we have to protect the people and our planet. The United States has a long history of repression, unjust prosecution, and wrongful imprisonment of activists who strive to make the world a better place.

"Figures like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, John Kiriakou and other whistleblowers who faced prosecution for telling the world the truth about the US military, CIA torture, or the US surveillance apparatus have done the people of the world a great service. Their bravery and great personal sacrifice shed a light on grave injustices that were being carried out in the name of the American people without their knowledge.

"Indigenous activists like Leonard Peltier who’s case was riddled with recanted statements from key witnesses and other due process issues, is serving two consecutive life sentences at the age of 80. He’s been in prison since 1976 and maintains his innocence.

"Steven Donziger, a lawyer that fought on behalf of the indigenous people of the Ecuadorian amazon against Chevron’s harm to their land, faced prosecution as a retaliation from the Chevron company. Activists defending our earth and our rights and individuals shedding light on injustice play a vital role in our mission to educate on war and imperialism. We send them our solidarity.

"We also recognize the prison system in the United States as a tool of the war economy that disproportionately prosecutes and locks-up poor people and people of color. As an organization, we teach that the war industry, prison industry, and all oppressive systems in the U.S. are interlinked.

"Free all political prisoners, end repression of peace and justice advocates!"

Zum Finanziellen des Ganzen - von #FreeAssange zu #AssangeFree:

Für die Anwälte wurden für zehn Teams in acht Ländern EUR 12 Mio. ausgegeben.

Das Geld für die immensen juristischen Ausgaben kam von der "Einkaufsgesellschaft" #AssangeDAO, die ein #NFT vom Künstler pak gekauft hat.

pak hat in dem Rahmen 16'593 #ETH (#Ethereum) eingenommen, was (damals) umgerechnet ca. EUR 52 Mio. waren. Das Geld hat er im Februar 2022 an die #WHS-Stiftung gegeben, wo Kryptowährungen auf einem Hoch waren.

Mit dem #Machtwechsel in #Ecuador von Correa zu Lenin wurde der Druck auf den nunmehr "unerwünschten Gast" #JulianAssange erhöht. Im Zuge dessen wurde ihm auch der via Correa ausgestellte ecuadorianische Pass entzogen und organisiert, dass er aus der Botschaft rausgeworfen wurde: in die Hände des britischen Polizei, so dass er schliesslich nach #Belmarsh (besser: #Hellmarsh) kam.

#BerndFix an der #CoSin2024 jetzt mit #WikiLeaks-Vortrag - zu #FreeAssange und (jetzt) #AssangeFree.

Eine Gesamtübersicht seit den ersten Kontakten mit #JulianAssange 2008 (am CCC-Kongress).

Bernd rekapituliert die Geschichte noch einmal.

Punkto Spendeneinnahmen gleich einmal interessant:

Nach der Publikation der US-Depeschen nahm das Spendenaufkommen via #PayPal massiv zu: ca. EUR 100k / d wurden eingenommen - bis zum Punkt, wo PayPal das Konto der @wauland-Stiftung sperrte.

Was working on a Free #Assange post but it has now changed to an Assange #Free 🆓 post !!!

After many years of ⛓️ #imprisonment he is safely back with his family in #Australia 🇦🇺

Millions of people can finally remove the "FreeAssange" from their profiles 😋

#FreeAssange is now > #AssangeFree 👍

This case shows that many small people fighting back against the #government can have some impact :)

From 2011: #Wikileaks Exposed #USEspionage of #IndigenousPeoples

December 29, 2011
by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews

"Wikileaks exposed the US #corporate schemes, espionage, promotion of #mining and efforts globally to halt passage of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In the Censored News pick for the Best of the Best in 2011, Wikileaks claims first prize.

"Wikileaks revealed extensive espionage of Indigenous Peoples, including the #Mapuche and #Mohawks, and Venezuelan President #HugoChavez and Bolivian President #EvoMorales, who ushered in a new #Indigenous global rights campaign.

"The release of the US diplomatic cables of the US State Department confirmed that the US feared the power of Indigenous Peoples, specifically their claims to their traditional territories, a right stated in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Further, the Declaration states the right of free, prior and informed consent before development proceeds and protects intellectual and cultural property rights.

"Here's the top six ways that the United States and Canada, as revealed by Wikileaks, worked against the rights of Indigenous Peoples, by engaging in espionage and the promotion of mining, while violating Indigenous autonomy, self determination and dignity.

"1. The #UnitedStates worked behind the scenes to fight the adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In #Ecuador, the US established a program to dissuade Ecuador from supporting the Declaration. In Iceland, the US Embassy said Iceland's support was an "impediment" to US/Iceland relations at the UN. In Canada, the US said the US and Canada agreed the Declaration was headed for a "train wreck."

"2. The United States targeted and tracked Indigenous Peoples, community #activists and leaders, especially in Chile, Peru and Ecuador. A cable reveals the US Embassy in Lima, Peru, identified #IndigenousActivists and tracked the involvement of Bolivian President Evo Morales, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Bolivia Ambassador #PabloSolon, prominent #Mapuche and Quechua activists and community leaders. President Chavez and President Morales were consistently watched, and their actions analyzed. Indigenous activists opposing the dirty #TarSands were spied on, and other Indigenous activists in Vancouver, prior to the Olympics.

"3. The United States was part of a coalition to promote mining and fight against Indigenous activists in Peru. A core group of diplomats from U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, Switzerland and South Africa formed an alliance with mining companies to promote and protect mining interests globally. In other illegal corporate profiteering, #Peru’s government secretly admitted that 70-90 percent of its #mahogany exports were illegally felled, according to a US embassy cable revealed by Wikileaks. #Lowes and #HomeDepot sell the lumber.

"4. The United States and Canada tracked Mohawks. In one of the largest collections of cables released so far that targeted Native people and named names, the US Embassies in Montreal and Toronto detailed Mohawk activities at the border and in their communities.

"5. The arrogant and insulting tone of the US Embassies and disrespect for Indigenous leaders is pervasive in US diplomatic cables. The US Embassy in #Guatemala stated that President of Guatemala, Álvaro Colom, called Rigoberta Menchu a "fabrication" of an anthropologist and made other accusations. Menchu responded on a local radio station that Colom was a "liar."

"6. The collection of DNA and other data, makes it clear that US Ambassadors are spies abroad. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton states that the Intelligence Community relies on biographical information from US diplomats. In cables to Africa and Paraguay, Clinton asked US Embassy personnel to collect address books, e-mail passwords, fingerprints, iris scans and DNA.

“The intelligence community relies on State reporting officers for much of the biographical information collected worldwide," Clinton said in a cable on April 16, 2009. Clinton said the biographical data should be sent to the INR (Bureau of Intelligence and Research) for dissemination to the Intelligence Community.

"Meanwhile, the US was part of a five country team that supported mining as Indigenous Peoples were dying to protect their homeland.
The arrogance of the US and its cheerleading for corporate #CopperMining in Peru is obvious in two cables just released from Wikileaks. The diplomatic cables reveal the US promoting multi-national corporations, while targeting Indigenous activists and their supporters.

"The cables reveal that a core group of diplomats formed an alliance with mining companies to promote and protect mining interests globally. The diplomats were from the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, Switzerland and South Africa.

"Wikileaks exposed the fact that not only were Indigenous Peoples spied on globally by the US State Department, but those who supported them were also spied on. Actor and activist Danny Glover was the focus of at least five US diplomatic cables."

#JulianAssange is Free

By #Wikileaks, #CensoredNews, June 25, 2024

"Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

"This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations.

"This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

"After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

"WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of #GovernmentCorruption and #HumanRights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions.

"As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know. As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom. Julian's freedom is our freedom.

#Censored News original series: Wikileaks exposed espionage of #IndigenousPeoples

"Censored News spent six months reading the Wikileaks files, which revealed the U.S. spying on Presidents Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez; promoting deadly mining in Peru; and a mandate for U.S Ambassadors to collect DNA and iris scans.

"The U.S. worked behind the scenes to thwart passage of the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples.

"The most spied on by the U.S. State Department were #Mohawks and #Mapuches."

"Emergency appeal for donations to cover massive cost of jet and recovery

"Julian Assange has embarked on flight VJT199 to Saipan. If all goes well it will bring him to freedom in Australia. But the flight comes at an enormous cost: Julian will owe USD 520,000 which he is obligated to pay back to the Australian government for the charter flight to Saipan and onward to Australia.

"In addition, and after 14 years of detention, including five years in maximum security prison, Julian’s health is in dire need of recovery. We are launching an emergency appeal to seek donations to help him cover the flight debt and substantial funds to ensure his recovery and well-being and safety upon his arrival.

"Every contribution counts.

Gdyby nie ten człowiek, to nigdy byśmy nie zobaczyli na własne oczy, jak armia USA zabija nieuzbrojonych cywilów, w tym pracowników agencji informacyjnej Reutera. Że nigdy to się nie stało - takie kolejne kłamstwo byłoby wdrukowane opinii publicznej. Tak samo jak wcześniej kłamstwa o rzekomej broni masowego rażenia wypowiedziane na forum ONZ. Nikt za te kłamstwa administracji prezydenta Busha do tej pory nie odpowiedział. Bo zwycięzcy "wojny z terroryzmem" za nic nigdy nie odpowiedzą. Zwycięzcy piszą historię.

Ale dzięki temu, co zrobił Julian #Assange, świat poznał przynajmniej skrawek prawdy o wojnie w Iraku. Bez tego dalej żylibyśmy w złudzeniach.
