Roger Waters, founding member of Pink Floyd, performed Wish You Were Here outside the UK Home Office on September 2 2019. The performance was to protest the continued incarceration of Julian Assange, and campaign against Assange's extradition to the USA. Waters was in Venice two days later for the premier of his new movie Us & Them.

Waters, reportedly in possession of some three hundred million pretend dollar tokens through his decades working in the music industry, spoke alongside acclaimed journalist John Pilger in favour of Assange.
Julian Assange is the founder of Wikileaks, an organisation that facilitates the confidential sharing of information from whistleblowers. Wikileaks has released large quantities of verified information exposing some of the copious crimes committed by governments and individuals involved in governments. As a result, Assange was falsely accused of rape in Sweden, and his extradition sought to that country. Clearly an effort to capture Assange for eventual extradition to the USA, Assange sought and was granted asylum in the London embassy of Ecuador, where he remained for some eight years.
Eventually, and following financial persuasion with respect to Ecuador's new ruling regime, Assange was physically removed from the Embassy by unquestioning, order-following violence facilitating drones working on behalf of the UK Government. He was subsequently convicted by a corrupt judge presiding over a corrupt court, and inhumanely incarcerated in a Category-A prison. He was sentenced to 50-weeks captivity, and awaits an extradition hearing following further false criminal claims by the corrupt United States Government.

If sent to the US, Assange would likely be confined to further inhumane conditions in a supermax for the remainder of his life, or until such a time when humans are emancipated from the oppression and enslavement of the criminal global cabal, and the psychopaths that control it.

It is the outrageous treatment of Assange that provoked Pilger and Waters to speak-out on his behalf; to call for his immediate release, and halt his extradition.
Waters is globally famous following the success of Pink Floyd, which has reportedly sold some 250-million albums since the late 1960s. Such a public performance by a musician of his stature would ordinarily command massive media attention, which was undoubtedly the point. However, the corporate mainstream media is controlled by the very same criminals Assange exposed through Wikileaks, ergo coverage was extremely light to say the least.
It is lamentable that the masses seem only to pay attention to important issues where glorified figures that have been utterly idolised have shone a light on them. It is further lamentable that invariably such idolised individuals raise awareness of issues entirely unrelated to the reasons they became
famous. But this is the state of the human race. It is a race comprised overwhelmingly of unthinking
big daddy-followers; of people that wilfully relinquish the onus of self-command unto specious potentates; those that would
sooner die than think. To elevate any fellow animal to the position of a god due to a particular talent or appeal is not rational. The masses are irrational. That is why they tolerate constant lies from the media, and their enslavement by Government. Moreover, that is why they excessively revere actors, TV/media personalities, makers of music, and indeed anyone presented to them by the corporate media in a sustained and glorified way.
Celebrityism is a disgusting phenomenon, albeit one that can be exploited for limited good upon occasion within this
profoundly sick society.
Assange has been systematically vilified by the corporate media. He is presented as a
cyber terrorist to the unthinking masses. Both sides of the manufactured right-left political paradigm have been manipulated to despise him. Where one that is despised is subjected to great injustice, those that despise him tolerate that injustice and come to view it as just and good. Such is the way of fools. Where injustice affects one it affects all. The Assange case threatens to set a very dangerous precedent.
The masses are overwhelmingly affected by Stockholm syndrome. They believe Government is their friend. They believe they have a say, that democracy is not a theatreshow to keep them falsely placated and thus impotent. The magicians of the global criminal cabal have perfected the black arts of social engineering and mass psychology. Assange is a symptom of this.

Assange's case is a warning from the puissant psychopaths to all others considering
rocking the boat. Indeed that could well be why Assange came to prominence in the first instance. Reality is but a play. Anyone of any real prominence is a character in that play. Regardless, ostensibly, at least, Assange's case is beyond apparent. Moreover, the masses have been reduced to such a pathetic state of anoesis, apathy, and indifference, that the Establishment is increasingly brazen in its criminality. No longer does it bother to hide its crimes, as the masses are insensitive and oblivious to them and have reached peak cognitive dissonance. Without a miracle, the future is bleak.
