GETTING JULIAN #ASSANGE: THE UNTOLD STORY
▻http://johnpilger.com/articles/getting-julian-assange-the-untold-story
The First Amendment protects publishers, journalists and whistleblowers, whether it is the editor of the New York Times or the editor of WikiLeaks. The very notion of free speech is described as America’s “founding virtue” or, as Thomas Jefferson called it, “our currency”.
Faced with this hurdle, the US Justice Department has contrived charges of “espionage”, “conspiracy to commit espionage”, “conversion” (theft of government property), “computer fraud and abuse” (computer hacking) and general “conspiracy”. The favoured Espionage Act, which was meant to deter pacifists and conscientious objectors during World War One, has provisions for life imprisonment and the death penalty.
Assange’s ability to defend himself in such a #Kafkaesque world has been severely limited by the US declaring his case a state secret. In 2015, a federal court in Washington blocked the release of all information about the “national security” investigation against WikiLeaks, because it was “active and ongoing” and would harm the “pending prosecution” of Assange. The judge, Barbara J. Rothstein, said it was necessary to show “appropriate deference to the executive in matters of national security”. This is a kangaroo court.

Le Premier Amendement en question
▻https://agone.org/revueagone/agone31et32/enligne/0/index.html#debut-chapitre
L’idée selon laquelle le Premier Amendement garantit effectivement notre liberté d’expression est un élément de l’idéologie de notre société. D’ailleurs la foi dans les serments écrits noir sur blanc et l’aveuglement à l’égard des réalités politiques et économiques semblent profondément ancrées dans cet ensemble de croyances propagé par les faiseurs d’opinion américains. La ferveur quasi religieuse qui s’exprima à l’occasion de l’année du bicentenaire de l’élaboration de la Constitution en a livré suffisamment de témoignages.
Pourtant, comme je vais tenter de le montrer maintenant, penser que la seule existence du Premier Amendement garantit notre liberté d’expression est une profonde erreur. Une erreur qui peut, parfois, nous coûter non seulement la liberté mais également, dans certaines circonstances, la vie.
La sécurité de Netanyahu veut faire déshabiller un photographe, la presse s’indigne

L’Association de la presse étrangère (FPA) en Israël a protesté lundi contre le traitement par la sécurité du Premier ministre d’un photographe auquel il a été demandé de se déshabiller avant de couvrir la rencontre entre Benjamin Netanyahu et son homologue français.
Le journaliste ayant refusé de retirer ses vêtements et été interdit d’accès, les agences de presse étrangères se sont retrouvées sans photos indépendantes de l’évènement.
Les agences membres de la FPA, dont l’Agence France-Presse, ont refusé par solidarité et en forme de protestation d’utiliser les photos qui auraient été mises à leur disposition par le bureau de presse du gouvernement.
Atef Safadi, photographe « établi et respecté » travaillant pour l’agence EPA (l’agence européenne de photographie de presse), avait été choisi pour assurer le « pool » photo de la rencontre, c’est-à-dire photographier l’évènement et redistribuer ensuite au reste de la profession, afin d’éviter une trop forte affluence de journalistes.(...)

« The Banlieue Battleground: Designing the French Suburbs for Police/Military Interventions » (The Funambulist, septembre 2015)

The police has a strong sense of space. Like the army, it deploys itself in it, it controls it, it appropriates it. There is therefore no doubt that its participation in the design of entire neighborhoods like the Banlieues triggers effectively drastic changes in the organization of bodies in space. Yet, we should refrain from seeing such a participation as a corruption of the noble discipline we assume architecture to be. On the contrary, I would to argue, that when the police and the architect becomes one and only entity, it is the very essence of architecture that is accomplished: its violent inherent characteristics find their full-use and its ability to subsequently control the bodies it hosts is optimal. In the case of the Banlieues, it also sanctify the absolute separation of the police/architect and its inhabitants. The necessary antagonism that results from this separation is also what feeds it, since it creates and fuel the delinquency and criminality — something admittedly difficult to describe beyond the mythical narratives that characterize them on a daily basis — against which it claims to be organized. Only the dissolution of this rhetorical and political antagonism, which materializes, among other things, through the withdrawal of the police from any territorial organization can claim to “solve problems,” and actively destroy the segregationist agency of space in French cities.
