Kiss Asylum Rights Goodbye
Legendary hactivist CommanderX torn from Mexico for FBI despite his status as a political refugee with asylum officially granted more than a year ago
Days ago CommanderX a long time member of Anonymous was enjoying life in Mexico after a decade of evading FBI on charges relating to hacking. He had lived on the streets of Toronto working from coffee shops to support protest actions around the globe challenging corruption and supporting street actions then he sought freedom.
A little more than a week ago Canadian television aired a documentary film titled Behind the Mask - Face of Anonymous detailing the journey CommanderX undertook to travel across Canada through the western USA and into Mexico. In one of the final tweets from his Twitter account CommanderX tweeted a link for Americans to view the film as part of San Francisco documentary festival.
Once in Mexico CommanderX formally petitioned for political asylum which was granted making him the first American to have this status in Mexico. Late Friday the sanctity of that asylum was shattered and details are still sketchy but it appears CommanderX was lured to an immigration office with claims of paperwork issues then arrested and given to USA officials who now have him in FBI custody.
Friends of X have started a support Twitter and are using #FreeCommanderX hashtags with their official news account as @FreeCommanderX_ and note the original account without the underscore was used by X supporters during the years he was in Canada.
The crew @SlowNewsDay did an emergency broadcast as soon as news of the arrest began to leak out in the activist community. It’s likely MSM will have coverage based on FBI Press Release before long but the message is clear now. Challenge American power and its Stasi like forces will hunt you down and resistance will be crushed.
For those of us who cherish freedoms and are devastated watching them vanish, with help from presstitutes masquerading as journalists but destroying the Fourth Estate, this is another ominous omen reflecting the vindictive pursuit of those who challenge the Washington establishment and corporate power structure.
Anyone who wants to help with the defense costs his supporters have created a fund.
This is one more alarm for the disappearing Rule of Law and human rights. Anyone who wants to restore our freedoms to the place they were before September 11, 2001 attacks gave the Bush-Cheney NeoCons a blank check to destroy the Constitution under the guise of National Security better help to FreeAssange where this assault on truth tellers began over a decade ago when WikiLeaks published Collateral Murder video showing American war crimes that are unpunished while truth tellers are jailed.
Only massive public resistance will save us all from a nightmare beyond 1984 Orwell.
