The “judge” who dismissed Assange’s case yesterday was “Lady Arbuthnot
of Edrom”, wife to Tory peer, former Tory junior Defence Minister and
government whip Lord James Arbuthnot. Not to mention Chairman of the
Conservative Friends of Israel. Arbuthnot was naturally Eton educated,
the son of Major Sir John Sinclair Wemyss Arbuthnot. Of course Lady
Arbuthnot’s children were all sent to Eton too.
At the first hearing, I was stunned by reports of completely
inappropriate comments by Lady Arbuthnot, including responding to
representations about Assange’s health by the comment that medical care
is available in Wandsworth prison. As the official charade is that
Assange is wanted for nothing but jumping bail, for which a custodial
sentence is rare, that callous attempt at gallows humour was redolent of
Arbuthnot’s Tory mindset. She also remarked – and repeats it in
yesterday’s judgement – that Assange has access to fresh air through the
Embassy’s balcony. That is simply untrue. The “balcony” floor is 3 feet
by 20 inches and gives no opportunity to exercise. Julian does not have
access to it. He is confined to a small area within the Embassy, which
still has to function. The balcony is off the Ambassador’s office. He
has been given access to it on average about twice a year. But Lady
Arbuthnot showed a very selective attitude to getting at the truth.
The truth is that just last week the evidence was published which
inarguably proves that the questioning for sexual allegations was only
ever a charade to secure Assange in custody for deportation to the US,
to face charges for publishing the USA’s dirty secrets. In 2013 Sweden
wished to drop the investigation and the arrest warrant, and was subject
to strong persuasion from the Crown Prosecution Service to maintain the
warrant. This included emails from the CPS telling the Swedes “Don’t you
dare” drop the case, and most tellingly of all “Please do not think this
case is being dealt with as just another extradition.” That last exposes
the entire pretence is just one sentence.
It is worth noting it was not the servile UK corporate media, but the
Italian journalist Stefania Maurizi and the Italian newspaper Le
Repubblica which obtained these emails through dogged freedom of
information requests and High Court proceedings. These revealed the
quite stunning truth that the CPS had systematically destroyed most of
the highly incriminating correspondence, with only accidental copies of
a few emails surviving to be produced in response to the FOI request.
The CPS emails devastate the official charade, which is precisely that
this is just a normal extradition case. Furthermore it is admitted at
para 43 of “Lady” Arbuthnot’s judgement that the Crown Prosecution
Service actively referred the Swedish authorities to Wikileaks
activities in the united States as a reason not to drop the arrest
warrant, a fact which the UK mainstream media has still never reported
and which obviates “Lady” Arbuthnot’s trite observation that there is no
evidence that Sweden would have extradited Assange to the USA.
Perhaps most stunning of all “Lady” Arbuthnot opines at para 44 that “I
cannot determine from the extracts of correspondence whether the lawyer
in the extradition unit acted inappropriately” in preventng the Swedes
from dropping the case and referring them to Wikileaks activities vis a
vis the USA. Whereas in fact:
a) It provides irrefutable proof that this was never about the frankly
unbelievable Swedish sexual allegations, which were always just a
pretext for getting Assange into custody over Wikileaks’ publications
b) The reason she only has “extracts” of the correspondence is that the
Crown Prosecution Service, as openly admitted in the High Court, tried
to destroy all this correspondence, itself an illegal act. Arbuthnot
gives them the benefit of their illegality, against all legal principle.
“Lady” Arbuthnot takes it upon herself to contradict the judgement of
the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, every one of whose members
is a much more eminent lawyer than “Lady” Arbuthnot. The UK had of
course every opportunity to raise the points made by Lady Arbuthnot in
its appeal to the UN, which appeal also failed. “Lady” Arbuthnot’s
attempt to undermine a judgement by going back and disputing the actual
facts of the case, with no opportunity to answer, is, to say the least,
a creative piece of judicial process. But as with her failure to pursue
the CPS’ destruction of evidence, it is just an example of her most
obvious bias.
“Lady” Arbuthnot set out with one clear and evident purpose, to assist
the Crown.
“Lady” Arbuthnot has perhaps performed an unwitting public service by
the brazen nature of her partiality, which exposes beyond refutation the
charade of legal process behind the effort to arrest Assange, in reality
over the publication of USA secrets. The second half of Para 57 of the
judgement sets out how, following his arrest for “jumping bail”, the
American extradition request on espionage charges will be handled.
I should like to conclude that “Lady” Arbuthnot is a disgrace to the
English justice system, but I fear she is rather typical of it. This
intellectually corrupt, openly biased, callous Tory shill is rather a
disgrace to humanity itself.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
