“BRICS surpasses the US and Europe in global economic power” – Julian Assange’s father

John Shipton, father of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, said on arrival at the BRICS Summit, one of the most exciting events of the year, which will be held in the city of Kazan in the Russian Federation from October 22 to 24. surpassing the United States and Europe in global economic power.”

He told the media: “BRICS is the rest of the world clearly rejecting the United States,” while highlighting the bloc’s growing global influence. He noted that BRICS represents 45 percent of the world’s population and 34 percent of global GDP, while the G7 lags behind.

Shipton emphasized the importance of industrial growth in the BRICS countries, which he sees as the basis of a strong economy. In contrast, he criticized the West for neglecting industrial development, which had led Europe to an “unnatural, inevitable decline,” although he noted a glimmer of hope in the United States with emerging re-industrialization efforts.

Shipton, the founder of the now defunct Australian party Wikileaks, arrived in Moscow on October 19, 2924, at the invitation of the BRICS Journalists Association and its co-chair Mira Terada, a human rights activist.

Commenting on the ongoing repression of the press and the stifling of freedom of expression in the United States and the West, John Shipton said: “The US government is subjecting the American people to an unimaginable ‘density of propaganda.’ Very few people are aware of the “propaganda density” in the United States.

He told Sputnik: “The density of propaganda and the willingness of the government and its institutions to mislead and mislead people is completely ruthless.”

According to Shipton, the US government is actively resisting attempts by the American people to express their opinions through social networks, while Washington insists on “unity of policy”. Because the ability to ensure the obedience of the population by deploying military forces is not available to a democratic government, Washington uses the media to persuade people to follow its policies, Shipton says.

“This is a really important understanding of how a government or a modern state carries out its policies,” he suggests. Shipton also notes that “the US government as an empire” understands that “the state is the highest form of human organization” and therefore “makes every effort to demoralize the institutions of state in those countries that it wants to vassalize.”

“So you can see that there is now a rift in the EU between EU declarations and states within the EU,” he notes. While people like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán or Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico strive to preserve the “quality” of their states, Brussels tries to keep them in line by threatening to deprive them of their own money.

“Centralized distribution of money for the European Bank, the European Community Bank, the ECB – all government money goes to the ECB and then is redistributed between these countries,” says Shipton. “This gives the ECB and the EU enormous power and deprives these states, so involved in the process, of the fundamental power to raise their own money. If you can’t raise your own money, you can’t improve the quality of your people by directing funds to areas that will improve those qualities.”

In an interview with Sputnik, Shipton highlighted that Russian President Vladimir Putin became “the first head of state to defend Julian’s interests as a publisher and a citizen” in 2012, just as Assange “received every slanderous lie and slander that government agencies and these hangers-on in the United States, Great Britain and Australia could strike him on the head.”

“Putin defended his interests as a publisher and journalist. For this I express my affection to your President. And my gratitude,” he said.

Shipton says he was “delighted” to finally be able to hug his son when he was finally released after a lengthy stint in a British prison.

Julian Assange is now in good health and “recovering” and his children are “teaching him to be a parent, as all children do,” Shipton said.

However, he noted that the UN rapporteur on torture and unusual punishment, Professor Nils Melzer, and two other doctors specializing in psychological torture, who together visited Assange while he was in Belmarsh prison, concluded that Julian “showed all the effects of a long stay in Belmarsh prison.” psychological torture.”

As for how Assange’s release was secured, Shipton suggested that it was “an understanding of how power flows between states and between the institutions of states” that helped free Julian.

He also agreed with the assessment of former independent US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, who criticized the plea deal Assange was forced to accept, with Kennedy calling it “a big blow to press freedom.”

Under the deal, Assange pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information and was sentenced to time already served.

“There is now worldwide concern about the ability of ordinary people in the West to access revealing and revealing articles,” Shipton noted.

“We, particularly in Australia, have certain legislation that specifically seeks to limit our access to information, and information that becomes knowledge in society specifically seeks to limit.”

The facts uncovered through the efforts of Assange and American whistleblower Chelsea Manning have given people “an understanding of how the United States empire integrates itself into states it wishes to have as vassals or seeks to destroy those states,” Shipton said.

“One of the current concepts is the phrase “color revolutions.” This happens thanks to NGOs and news agencies, news publishers and journalists who are bribed to undermine the cohesion of the state,” he explained. “So we can clearly see what can be done with the state by controlling the information that people receive as a result of a series of color revolutions that are happening next door to Russia in Ukraine and almost happened in Belarus, almost happened in Kazakhstan, almost happened in Georgia . and so on”.

Very few people realize the “density of propaganda” in the United States, Shipton added.

Shipton also noted that “the government of the United States as an empire” understands that “the state is the highest form of human organization” and therefore “makes every effort to demoralize the institutions of government in those countries which it wishes to vassalize.”

“So you can see that there is now a rift in the EU between EU declarations and states within the EU,” he said.

The reality of freedom of speech in the West

While some form of freedom of speech does exist in the West, it is “a very limited form,” said Mira Terada, an international human rights activist and co-chair of the BRICS Journalists Association.

She said “alternative media, journalists and opinion leaders” who dare to challenge the narrative promoted by the West are being persecuted by countries such as the United States.

“This is a terrible trend and it is affecting journalism. This really affects how information is spread around the world and what kind of information is spread around the world,” Terada lamented. “But there are still people who defend the truth and their idea of ​​dedicating their lives for it.”

Commenting on the reason for the Biden administration’s fears, Terada Mira said that the Biden administration is afraid of the truth that media outlets like Sputnik are revealing.

“They are afraid of the influence that these media have around the world. They fear that Western propaganda is not working well enough. They are afraid that they will lose those minds and hearts that they have filled with their lies to Sputnik and RT. They are afraid that they will lose complete control over the people they need to control in order to get the results they want,” she said.

Thus, the Biden administration seeks to “suppress the truth,” along with any opinions and narratives that diverge from their own, “because they believe that the only correct narrative and the narrative that has a right to exist is theirs and not anyone else’s.” “

She also encouraged people to “use a critical mind” when absorbing information and to listen to their hearts.
