Gabriel Shipton: Defend Julian Assange, Defend Free Internet

Episode description

This episode was recorded on World Press Freedom Day 2021, the perfect date for a conversation with Gabriel Shipton, half-brother of Julian Assange. We are talking about the current state of Julian, who is the first publisher charged under the US espionage act and is awaiting further trials locked up in Belmarsh high security prison, the connections between WikiLeaks, journalism and Bitcoin and why and how Bitcoiners can support Julian’s case.

  • WikiLeaks and the history of the charges
  • The US against Julian Assange
  • No extradition from the UK, but Belmarsh prison
