Chris Hedges speaks out for Julian Assange at DOJ - Full Speech
“Merrick Garland and those who work in the Department of Justice are the puppets, not the puppet masters,“ said Pulitzer-winning journalist Chris Hedges Saturday outside the DOJ.
“The engine driving the lynching of Julian Assange is not here on Pennsylvania Avenue. It is in Langley, Virginia, located at a complex we will never be allowed to surround, the Central Intelligence Agency. It is driven by a secretive inner state, one where we do not count, in the mad pursuit of empire and ruthless exploitation.
“We cannot fight on behalf of Julian Assange unless we are clear who we are fighting against,“ he then described as “A global billionaire class who have orchestrated a social inequality rivaled by Pharaonic Egypt.“
