Wow, that was a thorough collection of Assange pieces. You even translated the Prey for Assange poem! Very cool. Thanks for putting all that work in -- it's quite a compilation. I should try to practice my meager knowledge of French on it...

And how about those French election results! Where do you think it leads next?

Finally, huge good surprise with the left union victory, far right in 3rd place. But no majority for the left, we are waiting who our little King Macron (as Pepe Escobar and others name him) will choose as the Prime Minister, certainly not Jean Luc Mélenchon desperatly.

I have been in the Assange fight since May 2019, with French Yellow buses trip organisations to London and Belmarsh until the lockdown thanks to the Facebook group I have co-created and because of the censorship on meta I decided to publish on more subjects on my Substack, with the Assange actuallity every Sunday.

It was a big pleasur to translate your writings that were different !

Without people like you, Assange would still be in there. All that you've done is very impressive!

What's clear about the elections in England and France recently is, as Yeats once put it in a poem, the center cannot hold...

We, the people, are the number. We do have to change this filthy world as soon as possible. What is happening since the pandemic is absolutely disastrous. And Julian Assange had warned us 15 years ago ... Thanks so much for your kind words.

With pleasure, I'll probably finish a global post on Sunday and share it with you.

Assange is our modern day lesson. May he, and what was done to him, never be propagandised into myth. He's the Mandela for whistleblowers and journalism.
