It suggests the decision owes more to politics than justice. Were the Australian government to offer asylum with a guarantee of no extradition to the USA because it would guarantee a future for Assange identical to that of Bradley Manning, they would possibly win the next election.

The upshot of it all is that the decision was made on the grounds of "administrative convenience" as outweighing the requirement for fair treatment?
Rule by whim, prejudice and fiat is rubber stamped.

Put all the legal gobbledegook to one side! The U.S. wants Assange and they'll get him one way or another. They have assassination squads and drones remember as well as the CIA. They have more than 1,000 military bases and a network of spies operating out of all their Embassies.

They also have a bunch of suck-hole collaborators like the Australians, the British, most of the nations in the Eurozone, etc. What chance has Assange, a man of extraordinary courage and a large social conscience, got?

Assange exposed the Yanks for what they are: killers, torturers, and imperialists. They will make sure he pays a heavy price!

What is truly appalling to me is that the British high court, the land of the Magna Carta and common law on which we all rely, can simply declare that any person can be sent to any EU country to be simply questioned when not a single charge has been laid.

Sickening abrogation.

Here again the law is compromised for convenience. Sooner and later those who benefit from this compromise will inevitably find themselves or their family members on the wrong side of this judicial corruption.

More and more the world is in the clutches of small, ignoble conniving, spineless and invisible people who inevitably become suspect to congenital defects. Like purebred animals their minds and genetic code is trapped within such narrow bands that life is for them existentially meaningless. To cope, many are on various doses of pills to avoid anxiety and despair, others blithely display their psychotic dillusions for all the world to see.

Their obsession to contniuously manipulate the world and aggrandise themselves or this narrow ideology merely masks their own self destructive and suicidal dillema. They are at war not with terror, drugs, unions etc..; they are at war with themselves.

There is every reason to be optimistic for those who run the world have now for over a generation become completely detached from reality. They hire similarly dumb servants to carry out their increasingly dellusional power trips.
