Republicans’ crusade against the French film Cuties, which garnered widespread controversy as it debuted on Netflix last month, just reached a new level of stupidity: A Texas grand jury has indicted the streamer for “promotion of lewd visual material depicting a child.” A press release from the office of Tyler County Criminal District Attorney (and former model and actor) Lucas Babin states that per state law it is illegal to “knowingly promote visual material that depicts the lewd exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of a clothed or partially clothed child, which appeals to the prurient interest in sex and […]

Assange Hearing: Testimonies Undermine US Indictment, Provide Grounds For Dismissal By Tom Coburg, The Canary. September 27, 2020 Assange Hearing: Testimonies Undermine US Indictment, Provide Grounds For Dismissal2020-09-272020-09-27https://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2017/12/popres-shorter.pngPopularResistance.Orghttps://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2020/09/chelsea-manning-and-julian-assange.jpg200px200px Above photo: Wikimedia – Tim Travers Hawkins / Flickr – Cancillería del Ecuador. Week three of the hearings at the Old Bailey for Julian Assange‘s extradition to the US heard testimony from a computer security expert that may prove to be critical. That testimony could be used to undermine the first indictment raised against the WikiLeaks founder and therefore weaken the entire case. Other testimonies may form the basis by which the US extradition request could be dismissed. No […]
A south Texas butterfly conservationist has a message for Steve Bannon and three others arrested on Thursday for fraud and money laundering in what the feds describe as a border wall fundraising scheme. “I just wish them well in their cavity searches,” says Marianna Treviño-Wright, executive director of the National Butterfly Center. Treviño-Wright was targeted by We Build the Wall late last year, when she sought to stop the construction of a barrier beside the center’s nature preserve along the American side of the Rio Grande, 100 acres that the organization employs to educate the public “about the value of biodiversity, […]
In December 2016 when Donald Trump bragged that the child rape lawsuit brought against him (below) was dismissed, he was correct. It was dismissed because Ghislaine Maxwell testified that the accusations made were false. Now Maxwell faces prison for, among other things, lying in the 2015-2016 “Jane Doe” lawsuit against Trump and Epstein, which cleared Trump of potential criminal charges for child rape and allowed him to assume the presidency. Now he is no longer cleared. The documents below, starting with page 10 of the indictment, tie Donald Trump to Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes. Mentioned, or rather not mentioned but referred […]
The shock development comes almost a year after Epstein was arrested on charges he abused and trafficked women and girls in Manhattan and Florida 2002 – 2005. Epstein, a former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, as well as Prince Andrew, pleaded not guilty, and was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell the next month after his arrest. Following Epstein’s arrest, Maxwell appeared to vanish without trace, her whereabouts unknown apparently even by her lawyers, her sole means of communication with courts in a number of legal actions brought against her by Epstein’s victims. While she has consistently […]
Mr Assange faces 18 charges under the indictment, all of which relate to his role in publishing classified documents revealing, among other things, war crimes committed by US forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay in 2010 – 2011. Julian Assange’s case took an unexpected turn at the latest hearing at Westminster Magistrate’s Court on Monday, with the defence telling the judge that it was “surprised” to have learned about the US’s superseding indictment against their client via the press. “A superseding indictment is supposed to do what it says on the tin, it’s supposed to replace the existing indictment’, said […]

A superseding US indictment of Julian Assange broadens the charges against WikiLeaks co-founder by accusing him of conspiring with a hacker affiliated with the groups Anonymous and LulzSec. The US Department of Justice revealed the new indictment on Wednesday, intended to “broaden the scope of the conspiracy” Assange was accused of in May 2019. The Trump DOJ’s attempt to imprison Julian Assange for working with his source to publish classified documents that exposed US war crimes is the most severe US threat to press freedom since 2016. It’s sickening to watch so many journalists ignore it, & so many liberals cheer […]

The DOJ moved to dismiss with prejudice its criminal case against General Michael Flynn yesterday. Below are pieces from the DOJ’s 20-page dismissal letter. The DOJ did yesterday what many who have followed General Michael Flynn’s case for a long time have been waiting for. The DOJ stepped in and requested a dismissal of the General Flynn case. In the first paragraph, the DOJ made its point: The government had no right to interview Flynn and even if he lied it wouldn’t matter: TRENDING: Breaking: Department of Justice Drops Case Against General Michael Flynn The Obama Deep State opened it’s investigation […]
