A slow-motion execution

The fiancee of Julian Assange, Stella Moris, accused the UK of playing the “executioner” in a US “plot” to kill the WikiLeaks publisher.

“The US government plotted to kill him and have found a way to do so - get the UK state to play the role of executioner,” she said.“It is horrifying that Britain has let itself be instrumentalised by a foreign power to bring about travesty”.

Moris’ comments came shortly after a group of physicians again called on the UK government to release Assange from custody so that he can be provided with sufficient medical care.

The group - Doctors for Assange - wrote in a release: “The health of Mr. Assange and the health of our democracy, which depends on a free press and judicial integrity, are both in serious jeopardy. This shameful and deeply damaging case should be dropped now, and Julian Assange granted his long overdue freedom”.
Hillary Clinton is warning that the US may not survive another Trump presidency or White House bid, adding that it ‘could be the end of our democracy’.

🗣"If he or someone of his ilk were once again to be elected president, especially if he had a Congress that would do his bidding, you will not recognise our country,” said the 2016 Democratic nominee during an NBC interview.

Speaking about whether Trump would run again, the former secretary of state was confident.
“If I were a betting person right now, I'd say Trump is going to run again,” she said.

🤔How many Americans believe that democracy has already ended in the country?
