    For the record: On 31 May, I have also given similar exclusive TV interviews to both @SkyNews and @BBCWorld on #JulianAssange but it seems they decided not to broadcast them.https://twitter.com/im_pulse/status/1134629784435220480 …

    So the UN rapporteur actually appeared on the Kremlin's premier propaganda network—yes, the propaganda network of the state that shoots journalists in the face—to discuss Julian Assange's "torture". https://twitter.com/NilsMelzer/status/1118495861116481539 …

        In an interesting illustration of the trustworthiness of Downing Street’s premier propaganda network, @BBCNews, this story is still online and uncorrected, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44296672 …, over a year after it was revealed to be a hoax.

        It’s the same with The Guardian as well, they still haven’t taken down the Assange and Paul Manafort meeting at the Ecuadorian Embassy story either. We all know that story has been proven to be fake, but it’s still there to this day.https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/nov/27/manafort-held-secret-talks-with-assange-in-ecuadorian-embassy …

        it is possible there is a D notice on reporting about Julian Assange. UK MSM is (almost) totally silent on the case. Channel4 News, which would be expected to report, says nothing at all.

        Those D notices are intriguing. Are there any statistics available ? Can they be FOIA-ed after some delay? Have British news organizations thought of some sort of warrant canary system to inform their audience?

        The DSMA Secretary will answer queries, but all current DSMA Notices are listed here: https://dsma.uk/standing-notices/ … Sad thing is, our media self-censor without being asked.

        Thanks for sharing. This is surreal. Notice the picture of a fighter jet pilot holding an infant. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

        Thank you for the clarification. The message is even more powerfully destructive in my opinion. You can be a caring father and destroy lives of people you will never get to see at the push of a button. Sickening and worrying about the future of humanity.

        I wish Bernanos book « La France contre les Robots » was available in English. This book published in 1947 was prescient in a way Orwell’s 1984 and Eisenhower speech about the militaro industrial complex were. Bernanos book immediately jumped to my mind when I saw the picture.

        Just to clarify... are you saying you went into the studios of @SkyNews and @BBCWorld and recorded interviews, but the recordings were then not broadcast? If so, did they give a reason why they went to all that effort and then decided to abandon?

        Thank you for noting that you went to some effort to appear on Britain's premier propaganda network, the BBC, for the same purpose. Mr. Ahmad also seems unaware that your UN post requires that you work with other members of the UN without prejudice - obviously including Russia.
