Julian Assange’s father, John Shipton, joins Lee Camp for a special episode of Redacted Tonight VIP. Recent reporting has shed more light on the CIA’s campaign to intimidate, silence and potentially kill the founder of WikiLeaks. Shipton has spent the last decade concerned for the safety of his son and the exposure of the CIA’s plots has fully justified his concerns. The US continues its efforts to extradite Assange to the US despite its losses in court and another revelation that its entire case against him is built on the lies of an admitted fraud. Time has only proved the righteousness of Assange’s work but his torture continues.
Naomi Karavani reports on a law enforcement scandal out of Los Angeles. A gang in the LA Sheriff’s Department has been known about for years. Gang members are connected to several different cliques within the department and receive special tattoos for excessive violence and murder. Although the story is now widely known, the “Blue Wall of Silence” protects the gang members and encourages them to intimidate journalists who are investigating the story. These gangs are a small view of a much larger issue in policing in the US.
