	After years of state-sanctioned demonization and demoralization, the political class have finally, yay, found a role for their native working class toxic males.
	Cannon fodder for the new world order death cult.
	At last, we can again feel like we serve some purpose to our nations other than just the pure, unfiltered misogyny that secretes from our paws almost constantly.
	By dying on the battlefield for a country that hates us against a country that's never wronged us or our families, hasn't invaded or attacked us, we males will be doing our bit for World Economic Forum, King and Country.
	The only question that remains is what foreign nation will we be fortunate enough to be martyred by?
	And will we be able to partake in some war crimes of our own before the Grim Reaper comes knocking?
	I do hope so.
	I've always wanted to bomb a wedding.
	Saves you buying a gift.
	I know what you're thinking.
	What if someone leaks the war crimes to the public?
	Well, that's fine because the state will just chuck that person in Belmarsh and we'll get off scot-free.
	That's how it works, isn't it?
	When the West commits war crimes.
	So, will it be Russia or will it be Iran?
	Decisions, decisions.
	Neither country is interested in setting foot on English or American soil, of course, and we know this because it would literally be the easiest land invasion of all time.
	If the Russians wanted into England, they'd just have to jump in a dinghy, whack on an Adidas tracksuit, hold a mobile phone, and the Coast Guard would literally tow them into port, stick them in a hotel.
	The only way they'd get caught out is if they accidentally deployed some female military personnel.
	And as for America, the Iranians would just have to pretend they were, I don't know, say, a Mexican drug cartel, and they'd be in Texas before Joe Biden had sniffed his first scalp of the day.
	The West's war with Russia, Iran, and eventually China is long planned, and the psychopaths in very expensive suits are so desperate to make it happen, they've stepped out of the shadows and are openly calling for it.
	On social media.
	Because that's the world we live in now.
	A world where politicians can cry out for mass death and destruction but with emojis attached.
	Talk of national service and conscription is spreading across the US and Europe.
	OK, you go and fight then, mate.
	If you're so keen to have a tear up with Russia or Iran or whoever else you're going to paint as the next bogeyman, then you go.
	You sign your kids up, go find some wasteland on the edge of a housing estate and have it out.
	But leave us out of it.
	We have no interest in fighting your wars.
	They're only there for no other reason than to depopulate and to manipulate the rest into accepting your post-war new normal.
	That's why wars, pandemics, economic collapses and climate change are all connected.
	They provide the excuse to mould society into a post-freedom, post-privacy, post-self-ownership, high-rise dystopian nightmare that they desire.
	You fancy fighting for that?
	That's like a whale pod going to war for the Faroe Islands.
	I've got a simple rule.
	I'll jump into the trenches just as soon, just as soon, not a second later, as the politicians that signed us up for war have taken their place in the trenches.
	Now that's a rule that guarantees I never go anywhere near a trench.
	But some will.
	Some young men will lay down their lives because they'll believe what they're doing is right and some of them will be skint and they need the money.
	What passing bells for these who die as cattle, eh?
	No one personifies the deletion of these freedoms quite like Julian Assange, a man left to rot in a prison cell for having the audacity to expose the war crimes of the United States of America.
	While those that committed the war crimes, of course, they remain free, don't they?
	Filmmaker Kim Staten has recently produced a very powerful documentary about Julian Assange called The Trust Falls.
	Now, before we welcome Kim to the show, let's take a look at the trailer.
	This is genuinely the view of people.
	Oh, we don't know much about Assad.
	Well, you should know.
	Because whether you know it or not, he is fighting for you.
	For your courage and leadership and tenacity in journalism and publishing.
	Since 2010, Assange has been held in progressively narrower, darker, colder and crueler spaces.
	He has been detained since the 7th of December 2010 in one form or another.
	And we are now here after years of imprisonment.
	WikiLeaks is a non-state hostile intelligence service.
	I think the man is a high-tech terrorist.
	A high-tech terrorist.
	A traitor, a treasonous... He has to answer for what he has done.
	Assange faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing classified documents exposing U.S.
	war crimes.
	The U.S.
	government narrative about Julian is a complete fraud.
	It is a complete fraud from A to Z. Julian took on the most powerful countries in the world.
	Basically all of them.
	We now have confirmed that there were plans to kidnap Julian here in the centre of London, or even assassinate him.
	No one who instigated that illegal and immoral war has been brought to justice.
	But the great truth teller sits behind bars.
	If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.
	Julian Assange is a hero.
	What if everything we thought we knew about somebody was a lie?
	Would we be willing to go on a new journey of understanding?
	This is a story of deception, lies, bravery, and a man who risked everything to bring the truth to light.
	Mr. Assange shows all the symptoms that are typical for a person that has been exposed to psychological torture over a prolonged period of time.
	He looked at me intensely and said, I hate to say this, He then hesitated, visibly troubled and searching for words.
	And then he finally said, Please, save my life.
	May future generations have the ability to speak without restraint.
	May our children and their children know truth and have access to information that leads to justice.
	Wherever Julian goes, free speech goes with him.
	If there is a bird that is about to take flight, stretch her wings and rule the skies, may it be a pista and no longer a bald eagle.
	If you think Assange is a traitor, he's a rapist, he's a narcissist, he's a hacker, I don't blame you because you have been deceived.
	And if you think you've not been deceived, that's normal because otherwise it wouldn't be deception.
	We've just watched the trailer for The Trust Falls. Now I've had the privilege of watching
	the film this week.
	And it's both fascinating and disturbing.
	What inspired you to make it?
	Thanks for having me, Gareth.
	Well, I think it basically came out of my own feeling of inadequacy and hopelessness of being so slow to sort of get my head around the significance of WikiLeaks' work and of the personal sacrifice of Julian Assange.
	And I felt like I had some catching up to do, so I took on the project of making a documentary.
	One of the very interesting things I got from it early in the documentary was, if you say to someone the name, say, Julian Assange, people would say, oh yeah, WikiLeaks, maybe war crimes, maybe they might be aware of that.
	But then they say, oh yeah, wasn't he accused of rape in Sweden or whatever, which actually wasn't true.
	And I don't think people realise just who Assange is as a man, because the media have done an absolute hatchet job on him, haven't they, in terms of a character assassination.
	Yeah, he was accused of rape, but that's where many, many people are still believing this smear.
	It was only ever an accusation.
	The case was dropped in 2019 for lack of evidence, and he was never charged with rape.
	You still see people commenting on social media awful things, which is completely unwarranted, and what we reveal in the film is that There was a well-orchestrated, well-planned campaign by the DOJ, the US government, to bring Assange down to destroy WikiLeaks.
	It was planned.
	They had a task force of around 100 people on the job of chasing Julian from country to country, putting him through a decade of court cases, dozens of court cases.
	Hopefully to send him bankrupt.
	A whole number of, a whole array of strategies to destroy Julian and Wikileaks.
	Where do things stand now in terms of his extradition?
	So he's in Belmarsh Prison in the United Kingdom and his lawyers are obviously appealing his extradition to the US because they believe, rightly, that essentially the US will just try and do away with him.
	Which is something they've openly admitted.
	They were talking about offing Julian Assange when he was in the Ecuadorian embassy.
	So where does that stand at the moment?
	Yeah, right now it's a very pivotal moment.
	We have coming up on the 20th and 21st of February what probably will be the final appeal against the extradition.
	Probably the last chance for his defence to appeal the extradition.
	It'll be a two-day hearing with, I understand, an immediate verdict on that.
	Not very likely that they will listen to any more deals.
	However, like at this point, apart from him getting freedom by some sort of miracle, it's really his best chance is that he further delays extradition to the US.
	And if they do hear another appeal, maybe he'll be Stuck in Belmarsh prison for another six months in maximum security, which is just a horrid, awful, shocking way to treat a human being, especially a journalist.
	Well, he's in solitary confinement, as I understand.
	How long has he been in there now?
	Coming up to five years, more than four and a half years in solitary, 22 hours a day.
	He can have very few visitors.
	It's a six by three meter cell.
	It's the worst, the harshest prison in the UK where they keep the worst criminals in the country.
	It's extraordinary.
	The amount of time, and if you include all that time he was under house arrest in the embassy and all that sort of stuff, we are talking well over a decade, aren't we?
	So you wouldn't get that amount of time for abuse or manslaughter or anything like that.
	It's bizarre to me.
	In fact, sometimes even for murder, you don't get that long.
	Trump had the ability to pardon him, of course, and he didn't, which was something he took quite a bit of stick for from his voter base.
	Do you think that Julian Assange will ever See freedom, or is that just a wish and a dream?
	It depends on what day you ask me, Gareth.
	I think if I was really pessimistic, I wouldn't have bothered to get involved with the campaign and try to raise awareness.
	With the response of the film, that's really encouraged me.
	I feel like people are willing to learn, to find out, to uncover this case and explore it.
	Look, there's no doubt that the US He's trying to set examples to scapegoat Julian to scare off other would-be whistleblowers.
	That's what it's all about.
	It's a big fear campaign to terrorize the world, basically, to reduce this act of whistleblowing and calling out the crimes of the powerful.
	They've gone after Julian for more than 13 years.
	He's been in some sort of detainment.
	And as you said, even the worst criminals Typically they know their sentence, whereas Julian is kept in arbitrary detainment indefinitely, not knowing how long he'll be there.
	Will he ever get free?
	It must be an awful feeling to not know if you're ever going to be able to go for a walk in the park again or go to the beach and just have a normal life and be with your family.
	But yeah, I remain hopeful.
	I mean, there's a lot of hope in the campaign.
	The awareness is growing rapidly.
	And people are, there's so many amazing acts being done and activism all around the world and this DayX coming up on the 20th and 20th of February there's something like 30 countries getting involved with protests and there's just so much action going on and I'm sure that the governments are starting to take notice and in Australia it was significant that the current Prime Minister for the first time was At least pretending or saying that they would do something, Anthony Albanese.
	Prior to that we had five or six prime ministers that either thought that Julian was a criminal and were actually perpetuating this whole persecution.
	The idea that it's criminal behavior to expose what governments and what the state and what the military does is extraordinary.
	It's completely flipped.
	How far do you think, because I would consider you part of the press, if you're making a documentary like this, you know, I would consider you as a filmmaker, you know, part of this same Same sort of arena.
	How far do you think we've slipped in terms of press freedom?
	Because people in the West, they mock Russia and China, North Korea, places like that, for example.
	But from looking at Julian's situation, we're not much better in the West at all.
	No, that's right.
	Something that I learned through researching and producing this film was talking to Rebecca Vincent from Reporters Without Borders was this statistic that more than 500 journalists are in prison today for their work.
	It's a shocking figure.
	Press freedom has been declining now for the last 10 years.
	It's never been worse than it is now, and it is not just in these so-called dictatorship countries.
	It's in the West, and it's very telling that the most prominent, famous political prisoner of our time is Julian Assange, is an Australian citizen, is being kept in England.
	Yeah, an Australian citizen in an English jail with the Americans after him.
	Like you say, there's an axis of evil involved there and it doesn't involve anyone from the Middle East.
	Just finally, where can people watch the film?
	Because obviously I saw it on a... because you sent it to me obviously before we had this conversation, but where is it available?
	Because as far as I'm aware, there's a GoFundMe attached to it as well.
	The film is out in Australian and New Zealand cinemas as we speak.
	It's showing in dozens of independent cinemas.
	We have a major chain, the largest chain in Australia, about to share the film from the 6th of March which is Extraordinary.
	We're very excited by that to have a major chain.
	We'll be making that announcement in a couple of days.
	And, you know, for a documentary, especially a political documentary, to be shown in a major cinema chain is really a miracle.
	We're really happy with that.
	We're just about to release in cinemas in the UK.
	We should be having our UK premiere, which I hope you'll come along to, London premiere.
	We're aiming for just before that hearing in the middle of London, so something around the 18th, 19th, 20th of February.
	If people check our website, thetrustfall.org, in a couple of days, if you're living in London, you'll be able to find the London premiere of The Trust Fall.
	That's fantastic.
	Thank you so much.
	I hope the film does great, and I hope it raises awareness.
	Because I'm familiar with Julian Assange, but even watching the film, there were parts of that that I was like, my goodness me, I wasn't aware of.
	So thanks for what you're doing, mate, and fingers crossed.
	Fingers crossed.
	My pleasure.
	Thanks for caring about this issue, Gareth, and thanks for having me on.
	That's all for this week, thanks for tuning in.
	This week, everyone's new favourite hero, Elon Musk, was happy to announce that the first human had received their Neuralink brain implant.
	He also claimed that the moon landing was obviously real, so now I don't know what to believe.
	On the face of it, you can celebrate the first human being wired up as a success of science and man's ability to overcome adversity.
	After all, it may help a blind person see again or allow the paralysed to walk.
	But of course, once you've got that technology and the ability to attach the human body to AI, it won't stop with those with severe disabilities.
	These things never do.
	They're just what's used to sell the technology to the public as a good thing.
	It's like tech companies telling you they're going to install something onto your car or onto your phone that will tell them exactly where you are, where you're going, where you intend to go, and where you go most frequently.
	You'd probably push back against that kind of intrusion, so they called it a sat-nav And they sold it to you as convenience.
	Contactless payments, they're another one.
	It's just easier, isn't it?
	And so while I understand the upside when it comes to those with severe disabilities, please be aware enough of Elon and his connections to know this man is one, only a front man, and two, only representing the interests of those he's fronting up for, not you and not me.
	And while you're at it, ask yourself, why was he not only allowed to buy Twitter, But was threatened with legal action if he didn't, and then was propped up in the purchase by the likes of JP Morgan and Bank of America.
	Those are not good guys.
	And then ask yourselves why, on a self-professed free speech platform, accounts critical of the Israeli government, accounts like Max Egan and others, are still being deleted on the daily.
	Personally, I don't think we need heroes, but if you're in the market for one, I'd probably shop about a bit before settling on Musk and his new narrative clique.
