whether you're sympathetic to assange or not, the critical, core problem is the US government acting illegally, immorally, and dishonorably, and using our collective might to hide that and actively obstruct its discovery, rather than the opposite. this is shameful to say the least. and this trial is a crucial part of that misdirection campaign, to place our attention on anything other than that shamefulness.

to refute this charade of a trial is also to resist this misdirection.
