On Tuesday in Brazil, the country celebrated Press Freedom Day. Assange has become a national hero in Brazil, with politicians across the spectrum urging his freedom and condemning the ongoing US/UK attempt to imprison him for life under the Espionage Act. David Miranda, a member of the Brazilian Congress, spoke to Assange's wife about the recent developments in the case, what people are the world can do to help Assange, and the toll it has taken on his health and his family.
The Jimmy Dore Show When Viktor Shokin, a former Prosecutor General of Ukraine and notable target of onetime Vice President Joe Biden, wrote a book about his experiences in office, there were powerful individuals within the U.S. Government who didn’t want people reading this book, or even becoming aware it existed. And that’s why government agents insisted Twitter censor accounts promoting Shokin’s book, along with countless others in the tsunami of demands for censorship from government agencies that were flooding into the social media company prior to the 2020 election. Guest host Aaron Maté and journalist Matt Taibbi discuss the very dangerous precedent established by this unseemly private-public censorial partnership.
