Introductions by Andy Thayer of Chicago Committee Against War and Racism. Speakers address the importance of leaks in exposing the dark, corrosive to democratic institutions and lawless side of government when it goes too far in pursuit of a goal out of sync with the principles, mores and laws of society. Why else hide criminality behind the wall of 'National Security'. Drone murder, wars of aggression, international kidnapping, police terror, are but the tip of the iceberg in understanding the destructiveness of U.S. Capital abroad, and how CIA programs, once developed abroad to impose Wall Street interests, make their way back to the United States for use at home.*
Australians John and Gabriel Shipton, farther and brother of Julian are touring the U.S. rallying his supporters and First Amendment Defenders to pressure Attorney General Merrick Garland to drop the charges and drop the extradition from Britian. They speak about the conditions he is held in, even though he won last January when the judge refused to extradite him to the U.S. having determined the prison conditions under which he would be held a threat to his safety and sanity.
