George Hirst , editor of the Magnetic Times online newspaper, an ideal model for a similar Darwin publication, has received an urgent message from the mother of Julian Assange seeking readers interest and support from others for her son in his difficult present situation. Her plea was headed JULIAN IN GRAVE DANGER . The High Court in London is soon to rule on whether Assange should be extradited to Sweden to face allegations of sexual assault, described as bogus. The Magnetic Times post links to a John Pilger report THE "GETTING" OF ASSANGE AND THE SMEARING OF A REVOLUTION explaining the forces arraigned against Assange, which could see him sent to Sweden and "secretly and quietly" flown to the US under a legal device known as Temporary Surrender.
See www.magnetictimes.com.au and johnpilger.com for full details. Assange’s mother,Christine, once lived on Magnetic Island with her son,and recently provided Magnetic Times with her exclusive life story because she trusted the publication.
