How can we possibly ask our soldiers to defend our country when we hold political prisoners? How can we be neglecting our own people in foreign jails on non-existent charges?
How can we permit the appalling harassment of our legal troops (eg: Sidney Powell Summoned to Michigan Court for Sanctions Hearing), our protesters? (eg: Jan. 6 Defendant hit with Little-Used Firearms Charge). Is this a 3rd world country? Do people get sent to jail for protesting? Update - Sidney did not go to jail on this occasion.
In the UK, on 13th June 2019, criminal Theresa May(then PM) and Sajid Javid* (then foreign Secretary) signed an extraordinary extraction order (extradition they call it) for Julian Assange to be sent to CIA torture cells (we know that is what would have happened if he was sent to the US). Thankfully, this was later overturned. Our understanding is that Assange actually tried to notify America (the FBI we think) that some over zealous actors in Wikileaks were intending to leak sensitive diplomatic communications - but of course they no damage limitation because they wanted the excuse the shut down Wikileaks -- and that, to all intents and purposes, they did. One more nail in the coffin of our freedom.
- *On a side note, Sajid Javid should never have been allowed to be Foreign Secretary (from where he could have easily become Prime Minister). He was born in the UK ... Just ... In similar circumstances to Kamala Harris who equally should never have been made Vice President. This is not about race - imagine if either of those had been born of combined Russian parents? Or even combined English parents? Then the lefties would be shrieking from the mountain tops. This car-crash decision by Javid, this act of casual clerical callous violence, ignorant of the depths of our history and American history, serves as a perfect example as to why we must have 2nd generation politicians only, with the obvious caveat that earlier roots should be taken into account (eg: Boris was born of English parents in Manhattan).
- Continuing the theme of birthright, we suspect the law/constitution should be changed to rule out single parent only American heritage. On that basis alone, neither Obama nor Trump (oops) would have become president. Food for thought?
