    There is a very small crew of Assange supporters here, including JA's dad John Shipton, who have symbolic protests now and then. Their latest was at the weekend when five or six of them made it onto the national news by standing outside the US embassy when Pompeo and Esper were here. That was the ONLY protest I am aware of to having these two war criminals here, despite the fact that the dollar hit a 10 year low the following day and China devalued the Yuan, because of US behaviour.

    As for 4 Corners, my expectations were very low, after the screening only the previous week of Corbin's paean to Zionism "Shadow Commander" on Qassim Soleimani. So I was actually pleasantly surprised by the "hero" part of part 1, which managed to portray Domscheit berg as the little shite he was, and reminded me of his existence and crimes. Hrafnsson's criticism of him stood out. But then it all fell apart in Part 2 and all that shite about America.

    Part 1 also began with some extensive attention on Collateral Murder, which unlike recent media reports focused on the criminality being exposed.

    What struck me however was that unlike most 4 Corners programmes, this two part had barely any comment in the media. I don't know what that tells us.
