What is character assassination?
Snippet of Freeing Julian Assange: Part One, written by Suzie Dawson.
This is a tactic often applied in social media as well as in print. Other towering figures in activism and whistleblowing have been tarred with the same brush. Matt DeHart had highly questionable child pornography charges manufactured against him. So did the alleged Vault7 whistleblower. Even Edward Snowden has trolls online baselessly attacking him along the same lines, despite there being zero suggestion whatsoever of such thing ever having occurred.
Why is this tactic utilised time and time again? Because it works. Because we continue to let it work.
Our failure to protect those who put themselves in the firing line on our behalf, sharpens the sword used to cull us.

Protect incarcerated people’s right to read
Unfortunately, you can't send colored cards, the facility has been rejecting colored cards. Any letters must be 9 pages max., you can include photos 5x7, colored pictures, print outs not cut outs, and you have to write on white paper (not lined paper). Meanwhile, you can only mail white envelopes, but you can mail books. Matt DeHart can receive books ordered from Amazon in white and brown/manila packing, from any other publisher only in white packaging. People have asked, but Amazon wouldn't ship anything in white packaging (Amazon packaging explained). The switch to white packaging, and white envelopes, may be implemented in every facility soon, a nonsense against the adoption of environment friendly materials or recycling. The last straw, something bad like a program that would let outside for-profit vendors control and restrict what books prisoners can have access to. Send your friends and loved ones what you want NOW, while you still can. Include a return address and name inside on the letter, the facility may "trash" the envelope.
Please send him a few books.
He was moved from Pontiac, where he was in solitary confinement for a year, to Dixon prison in January '18 and placed there in segregation for a long while. This year '19 he has been moved back to Pontiac. Segregation is very tough on anyone as you are confined to your cell at least 23 hours a day. You can find more information at Free the NATO 3. Prisoners in Illinois can receive used books in the mail and Jay also has an amazon wish list. See wish list. Jay likes to read sci-fi, fantasy, fiction and history.
