It is heartbreaking that the bravery and integrity of Assange have caused his torture and captivity by corrupt, evil governments in the UK and US. I remain dedicated to his complete exoneration and the restoration of his freedom without delay. I only wish there was something, some power I had, to make it happen.
You well note that Ghilaine Maxwell's conviction seems to be for victimizing no child and supplying no criminal with child prostitutes. The American courts aren't a joke. They're corrupt portals to hell.
Thanks!
Edit: also, I noted the bit about hedge funds dumping real property assets with interest. Little would be more beneficial to humanity today than the cost of owning real property to be dramatically reduced, despite the negative impact that would have on many who have seen their real property increase in financial value as the value of money has so precipitously declined. Real property has actual value of extreme depth and breadth that has nothing to do with financialization, and decoupling the value of real property from money has potential to dramatically benefit even those whose portfolios are largely financially valuable because of the real property included, because financial value is so illusory and deceptive today.
Plus, I am presently attempting to purchase real property, and a dramatic and sudden decrease in the financial value of real property would make that transaction much easier and potentially valuable to me. Not that I only care about me, but I do care about me, and should, so am well advised to take advantage of market conditions as they arise. I have no interest in real property as a financial asset, and them that do dumping it leaves only substantive and actual values reckoned into the price, which really is a good and beneficial event for real people undertaking to increase their real wealth and productivity.
Finally, just because I am stunned by the serendipity of it, I wanted to tell someone that the cat I have assumed responsibility for since the death of my neighbor, like all cats, throws up from time to time. Day before yesterday I let the cat in, and as soon as I returned to what I was doing I heard the tell tale sounds of the cat puking. I leapt up and opened the door to let the cat back out, to throw up outside, but it had already finished and darted outside, leaving the excreta behind as it did.
However, in a glorious act of kindness, the cat had thrown up in my toilet. No muss, no fuss. Miracles do happen!
That is a good way to describe them - they are corrupt portals to hell alright!

I think much more is coming in the long run - sadly with the excess deaths expected from a proportion of the population sadly, by the 2021-22 experimental medical treatment, I think a lot of houses/land will come on the market. Its sad to think about - but in the next five years, I think that will be the case. We already are seeing housing prices fall in new Zealand - but I guess at the moment, those are because of other factors.
BTW, hope your cat gets well soon!
Thanks!
