Although it's not getting much coverage in the CIA-controlled press,the trial of Assange is slowly proceeding, in order to provide the fig-leaf "legal" cover for lifetime confinement in the American gulag. Catilin Johnstone, one of the few journalists still worth reading, has some disturbing commentary:

Apparently during the trial Assange is kept in an enclosed, nearly soundproof glass box, so that he can't hear the proceedings or even communicate with his lawyers. The image brings to mind the recent trial of Morsi by the Egyptian military dictatorship, which was widely highlighted in the Western press for its barbarism. Apparently it's only "barbaric" when people of darker skin do it.
Johnstone's piece also reminded me of when Black Panther member Bobbby Seale was tried in a US court while he was bound and gagged.
So much for Western "justice."
