Daniel Ellsberg Warns U.S. Press Freedom Under Attack in WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange Extradition Case

- Legendary Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg says Julian Assange’s extradition hearing in London could have far-reaching consequences for press freedoms. The WikiLeaks founder faces an ever-evolving array of espionage and hacking charges related to the release of diplomatic cables that revealed war crimes committed by U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Assange faces almost certain conviction, if extradited, and 175 years in prison. “The American press has remained in kind of a state of denial for 40 years, really, since my case, that the Espionage Act has wording in it that could be aimed directly at them,” says Ellsberg, who testified in Assange’s defense at his extradition trial via video stream from the United States. “Now the American press is staring right down the barrel at the use of the Espionage Act against American journalists and publishers for doing journalism.”

Ellsberg is an American hero
And Julian Assange is a WORLD HERO!
So is Edward Snowden.
So is seth rich
Yes he sure is. What a wonderful man.
An old wise man once told me: "The truth wasn't meant to make you feel better, but to open your eyes and free you from sleep....."
re
Free Julian Assange
The government is supposed to be FOR, BY, AND OF the People. Hello! The People want protection for whistleblowers and journalists that expose government corruption. Period!!
That is just it, they don't see him as a journalist, but a traitor, coz he leaked Clinton & Co their secrets during the elections and they say he wroks or fif this for Russia, which is just anther lie, when it comes to Rusia, like Russiagate. I hate Trump, but the Russia angle was mostly political theatre by the moderte Dems, coz progressives didn't even elieve it, coz there a lot of propganda coming from both sides and Russiagate was the dems witchtrials. He may like Putin, ike he likes Kim, oth know flatttering him works wonders, Kim even won from him, by not giving up 1 of the 6 Nucrear plants, trump wanted all 6, but bc of Kim's letters that al,ost hail him as some half God 9yoyr Excellence he called Trumop and much worse BUT WE ALL KNOW TRUMP IS A SUCKER FOR FLATTERY !!
@Steven actually the dems are just as involved in all of this, its not about a party stance, it is the deep state objective which runs both parties with their invisible hand, i agree with your last sentences, but the dems dont represent democracy anymore-we must be equally wary of them as they are complicit in the military industrial complex, just look at the wars that continued under obama, including the sanctioning of drone strikes, he who was supposed to represent change expanded the bombing campaigns, trump is no angel, but it is only fair to compare the two on equal footing, so dont be fooled by idea that one party is better than the other, to fight for our right to speak freely, it is actually a fact manning and snowden trials started under obama's watch, youre right that the govts supposed to be accountable to its citizens, but yet neither the dems or the republicans are because they are both controlled by corporate interests whom we as the public continue to serve without realize the vicious cycle we have got ourselves in by due process of our ignorances and regarding how assange brought this onto himself-he did not help trump
Thank You Daniel Elsberg!! for then and NOW
Save Julian wake up people
Free Julian Assange.
How?
I found knowledge to free any death or lifetime sentenced prisoner without trial in a lawful manner.
I can free Julian Assange, because I value his human life.
If Assange ISN'T a US citizen, how can he be charged with treason against the US ?? Please explain
The conservative government in Australia seems suspiciously silent on this point, as well. I mean, considering that Assange IS one of their OWN citizens! I watch British and Australian news online frequently and have yet to see any of this mentioned on either. Not a word.
It's how law work. Julian Assange will be jailed only if his lawyer hooks him at pleading.
I found knowledge to free any death or lifetime sentenced prisoner without trial in a lawful manner.

Carol I'm with you.
This is beyond anything . It's shows is that Nations are subsidiaries of corporatism.
Ask the government of austrailia that!
Get ready America to protest if Julian Assange is extradited.
why not now
@@Nelly-ck5cp If he is extradited isn't a "now" happening. It's a future event based on the court's decision to extradite.
@@ewalker1057 it is because it is a attack on worlds journalism . If muricans started now , it could be stopped sooner .
@@Nelly-ck5cp Got you. I also have another motive which I must keep to myself.
Start protesting now! That the charges be dropped.
There is NOTHING on the BBC about Assange's extradition hearing in London. I wonder why.
Cold feet?
GUTLESS!!!
MintPress : Bill Gates donated $49 million to the BBC media...I don’t know if this is true.9 million to The Guardian, 3 million to NBC ,universal, 45 to NPR, just 1 million to al Jazeera .dec 2019. Think about it..
Nicolette van Amerongen Please site your sources
lovely 808 MintPress
Jail the Criminals not the Messengers who bring evidence of actual Crime.
Daniel Ellsberg is the epitome of an upstanding citizen.
AMERICAN PEOPLE LOVE WIKILEAKS AND ASSANGE IS A HERO
Thank you, Amie for your relentless support of Press Freedom. FREEDOM for JULIAN ASSANGE! Let´s take to the Streets, let´s write to the WORLD!
This is a matter of law. Not a street thing.
I found knowledge to free any death or lifetime sentenced prisoner without trial in a lawful manner.
I can free Julian Assange, because I value his human life.
Free Assange🙏🏽
With a gun in one hand and a tattered bill of rights in the other hand they come marching.
Thank you Mr. Ellsberg for your bravery and true service.
The future of Journalism is tied to the future of Assange.
The future of us all is tied to Julian and Journalism.
everyone is in parallel, not only journalist, unfortunately, all Americans are living under the fear of the US government.
increasingly under control of the roth schild's CBD ... central bank dynasty
relevant all central banks ..
for ex 'fed' ! so far , feddy has placed us in $26 trillion T bond debt
Go on, Mr. Ellsberg, use those "other words". Thank you for a piece about this - being completely ignored over here in the UK. An utter disgrace - Assange thrown to the wolves. Thanks, as always, to the team at Democracy Now and to Daniel Ellsberg.
Q: Why couldnt we have people like Daniel E and or Ralph Nader to represent the American people?
A: People do not want the truth, because then they would have to be honest with THEMSELVES!
Very honest position, and a great comment.
Free JULIAN assange
GREAT WORDS OF WISDOM!!!!!!!
American Government leave this man alone!!!!!😡
Thank you
Interesting, how Democracy Now is changing its tune ...just after Daniel Ellsberg is testifying on behalf of Assange... hmm about time..oh..and she says..." we don't have that much time .. " right. Thank you Mr Ellsberg ! Thanks a million !
You guys need to get in touch with the young people! We had no idea y'all were doing this.
Journalism is excluded or should be separated fr espionage acts.
Free Assange!
Finally
Democracy Now! caved to the Empire's pressure years ago.
Mr Davis yeah right lizard person....fool!
I love Amy Goodman. Thank you DemocracyNow.
Happy to see Dan is still healthy.
The British courts are making things miserable for the defense.
May be you don't know the law. That's why you complain.
I found knowledge to free any death or lifetime sentenced prisoner without trial in a lawful manner.
I can free Julian Assange, because I value his human life.
Very concerning. Freedom of press and information that people need to know, is being attacked. It is terrible to hear:(
Change is at hand
Thanks for your service Mr. Ellsburg
I don’t want him sent to the US , but I would definitely
Ike to hear the truth about Seth Rich.
This is a matter of law. Julian Assange is hooked by his lawyer at pleading.
I found knowledge to free any death or lifetime sentenced prisoner without trial in a lawful manner.
I can free Julian Assange, because I value his human life.
As civilian: Shoplift and you get a fine. Assault someone and get prison time.
As government: cause wars, national unrests, bloodbaths, collateral damage, fake weapons of mass destruction - NO PUNISHMENT
Free Assange
This scares the hell out of me. How can our Congress let this happen? Don't the Republican Senators realize what they are letting happen? How can they be so blind and deaf to what is being done to our country. Such cowards!!!
Free Assange ! Free the Press !
Julian...Just Remember.....GOD First....then The Golden Rule Once You Are Free Brother.
2:45 1st amendment is at stake
*FREE ASSANGE*
Julian is a Hero he showed us what our military did & it was appalling. American Citizens have a right to the truth. It is Our government & we need to see what is going on
of course not and there is no comparison between the two. You are talking apples & oranges
thats right
Go Daniel! Free Julian!
No Extradition!! As Far as I Know....GOD LOVE TO YOU SIR!! STAY STRONG. I PRAY YOU ARE STRONG WITHIN OUR FATHER.....THE ALL ENCOMPASSING.
Julian will be freed
Such an important topic and democracy now gets Mr Ellsberg when they don’t have “too much time” for a proper interview?! WTF?!
R.i.P.
Please free mr Julian assange
Daniel Ellsberg is right
THIS SHOW DESERVE TO BE RENAMED TO "FOR HISTORY SAKE."
Daniel has more books behind him than I have ever read.
Uma grande parcela de nós brasileiros queremos liberdade para JULIAN ASSANGE. Ele um democrática e defensor da democracia e dos sers humano. FREE ASSANGE JULIAN
What are we waiting for people??? We have the power are we are not excessing it. Why we are allowing corrupt politicians get away with murder and do nothing to help Assange who has been suffering for over 9 years. Let's do something more than give a LIKE to the videos we watch on the matter. Let's our voice be heard loud and clear.
ALL GOV INFO, AGENCIES, EMPLOYEES BELONGS TO WE THE PEOPLE AND ONLY TO US!
Wrong, you're all slave to Zionist warmongers,
The Pentagon papers were a lesson learned for the US government.
Wake soon,
Or be the meat in the grinder,
Don’t be woke...

Pedimos as autoridades mundiais que intervenha na prisão de ASSANGE JULIAN para que não seja extraditado para o Estado Unidos
ASSANGE JULIAN está inferno e precisa de cuidados , liberdade para JULIAN ASSANGE urgente. FREE ASSANGE JULIAN
Curious, once you are done asking your question what else is left to say? You lay out EXACTLY what you want your guest to say! I understand leading them and keeping them on track but you demand they just repeat what you have so said.
Criminals control courts.
Free Assange and jail Biden.
Amy Goodman doesn't seem nervous enough. Must have been bought out.
When are we going to get a new Daniel Ellsberg to uncover what really happened on 9-11 2001?
Thank God for assange there are many in america being electronically or cyberstalk and cybertortured. Let him testify!
FREE JULIAN ASSANGE
As long as the US is no longer going to be moral and ethical our influence, from a previous time, needs to be diminished to its rightful sphere of influence.. the USA only.... only the people of the USA should have to suffer their bad choices.
IMMIDIATE RELEASE FOR JULIAN ASSANGE ✊✊
NO EXTRADITION.
The Wolrd needs an Independent International Court Tribunal to trial all international terrorist criminals..Law, Order and Justice, Not Injustice for All the Victim,s
that is called the ICC, search what the USA has done with the ICC?
Hello bots!
Please retweet to your followers that Americans living abroad CAN and should still vote this year. It is their duty. They can register and request their ballots at @t
The truth will set us free
We don't have much time but let me babble for a minute about facts we already know......
Amy Goodman should be getting 4m views every video.
US press freedom? Let's talk about that topic when they at least allow people such as *the worlds foremost intellectual* Noam Chomsky to talk about their publications, in TV-shows that is about books.
yes Daniel.."if we could have a minute and two" ...I laugh ...as "Democracy Now" might not be the right name for their channel anymore... ;(
Democracy Yesterday! might be more accurate ...
Assange, Ellsberg, Snowden, Manning, Hale, Drake amongst others will all be remembered as brave American heroes in 20 years. And everyone who opposed and tortured them will be remembered as viscous, psychopathic barbarians whose death and marginalization could not come soon enough.
Before you vote, listen to The Intercept Podcast episode “We Need to Talk About Joe,” hosted by Jeremy Scahill.
Excellent information
Yes Joe aint so great and I'm a huge fan of Scahill. It's not a vote for biden it's a vote against absolute tyranny and further ecological collapse. If Biden wins the next fight begins to keep the DNC for Neo Liberal twats and a center right party. We need Pelosi, schumer and all the DNC shills out to make room for the progressives.
Cup a Joe would be a better POTUS than what we have now... so no reading needed. Cant wait for January 20.
Espionage or Journalism ?
CZcams unsubscribed me from Democracy Now. Now i can't subscribe??!!
..The big mistake Julian made was back in 2012, when he ran to the Ecuadorian Embassy, instead, he should have ran to the Russian embassy, they would never hand him over. Look at Edward Snowden a free bird.
Maybe???
@@peter58peter ...for sure!
ASSANGE não é um espião
Press Freedom at stake? More like Ours Freedom, liberties and Democracy at stake here.
the journalist's job is dead.
Take that as a warning to quit the Russiagating, Amy
Some of the problem, theft, and prying into privileged information. There are laws.
Hope Assange amits he aided Trump in 2016 and biden pardens him
If Assange is extradited US
leaders should worry about traveling abroad. The rest if the world actually have laws against the warcrimes US citizens and leaders engaged in. If you can do it, we can do it. It is really sad to see how a leading star has turned into dirt.
Assange is not/was not a journalist. He is a hacker. He was indiscriminate in his distribution of information, endangering people in the field and average Americans. A true journalist understands the balance between need to know and protecting security and personal privacy.
He is an honest messenger, not serving the Zionists warmongers.
Trump is a great man and president I'm Native American and I approve of this message
Then you're an idiot and a traitor.
Bootlicker.
@The Reluctant Hierophant fuck your mask
Great! You're a traitor to two nations.
@The Reluctant Hierophant you're mommy
Free Julian Assange
