End effort to extradite Assange and free him

Published 1:30 am Sunday, January 1, 2023

As 2023 approaches many find that previously relied-upon news sources and institutions have gravely fallen short of standards we as Americans thought to be reliable and assured. Meanwhile a man many believe to be a publishing hero whose work has uniformly represented unimpeachable truth; i.e. highly impactful communications releases just prior to the 2016 presidential election. Julian Assange languishes — without cause — seemingly endlessly in prison. Assange should not be extradited; he should be freed, and insofar as is possible, his loses restored to him. As Assange himself has stated, “If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.”

For those of us whose foremost goal is to uphold truth, beauty, goodness and unity, part of the solution to the current “crime scene” on the world’s stage is to free Assange.
