Erasure from the record is not exclusively reserved for the shitstream media and their excuses for 'journalists' - it is also a tactic which continues to be employed regarding the US coup on Kiev in 2014 and the later bombing of the Nordstream pipeline, other examples are shrouded in the mists of history. We are dealing here with recidivist liars who would sell their mothers for a price. The British journalistic establishment is infested with these Eichmann types. As Hannah Arendt said - it is the banality of evil. At least we can challenge those whose evidence-free assumptions are boldy printed up for mass consumption, however, when dealing with those who display an indifference regarding the injustices meted out upon others, we can do no more than warn them that they are sleepwalking into fascism.

It also was revealed yesterday by Yanis Varoufakis that Assange had refused two deals, one of them from Trump, that would have pardoned him - because they were conditional on him revealing his sources. Unlike the Starmer-endorsing Guardian who joined all the finger-pointing, Assange has maintained his integrity.
