Weeks after being released from Saughton Prison in Edinburgh, former British diplomat Craig Murray joined Roger Waters and comedian Randy Credico.
Credico’s show, Live on the Fly/Assange: Countdown to Freedom, on WBAI radio in New York aired on Friday night. Also discussed is the psychology of the ruling class, censorship on the internet, slavery, John Stuart Mill, Prince Andrew, George V, Thomas Carlyle’s kindling and the public’s growing acceptance of war crimes and torture.

These three men are a treasure! Somehow, they managed to lift our spirits, despite the darkness of this moment in the case of Julian Assange. When I think of the ‘Justices’ in this case, I am reminded of Eliot’s “The Hollow Men.” “Paralyzed force, gesture without motion” and “lips…form[ing] prayers to broken stone.”
Diana, thanks for your well written words on behalf of Julian Assange. The taking away of one life is the same as taking away from all of lives. The war crimes of the US exposed by Julian Assange and for a long time supported by the “yes sir, whatever you say, sir” British government, must not be allowed to stand. German like Nazism never died. It lives on in the deceit of history and has simply moved on to inhabit the powers that reside in the US, British and other governments around the world. None of us, as individuals, is safe.
A wonderful conversation from three great men, congratulations from Aotearoa, at the bottom of the world but still solid with you
