Document:So Where is the Swedish Warrant?	blog post	Julian Assange Stella Creasy	27 April 2019	Craig Murray	All those Blairite MPs who seek to dodge the glaring issue of freedom of the media to publish whistleblower material revealing government crimes, by hiding behind trumped-up sexual allegations, are left looking pretty stupid.
Document:Striving to Make Sense of the Ukraine War	blog post	2003 Iraq War Christopher Steele Carole Cadwalladr Hunter Biden 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine	4 April 2022	Craig Murray	These things can be true at the same time: a) The Russian invasion of Ukraine is illegal: Putin is a war criminal; b) The US led invasion of Iraq was illegal: Blair and Bush are war criminals.
Document:That Leaked Labour Party Report	blog post	Labour Party John McTernan Keir Starmer Sam Matthews John Ware Emilie Oldknow Governance and Legal Unit Martin Forde Information Commissioner's Office	20 April 2020	Craig Murray	That Leaked Labour Party Report proves conclusively that Sam Matthews’ allegations of unwarranted interference from Corbyn’s office to block anti-semitism action are malicious lies.
Document:The Armoured Glass Box is an Instrument of Torture	blog post	Vanessa Baraitser Julian Assange/Imprisonment		Craig Murray	I think there is a corner of the mind of this daughter of dissidents from apartheid that rejects her own role in the torture of Julian Assange, and is continually urging “I had no choice, I had no agency”. Those who succumb to do evil must find what internal comfort they may.
Document:The Broader View Reveals the Ugliest of Prospects	blog post	Julian Assange MI6 MI5 The Guardian Jeremy Corbyn Mike Pompeo Matt Kennard	17 June 2019	Craig Murray	I find it hard to believe that I live in times where Julian Assange suffers as he does for telling the truth, where a dedicated anti-racist like Jeremy Corbyn is subjected to daily false accusations of racism and to US and security service backed efforts to thwart his democratic prospects, where the most laughable false flag is paraded to move us towards war with Iran, and where there is no semblance of a genuinely independent media.
Document:The Forde Report and the Labour Right	blog post	"Antisemitism" Tony Blair Jeremy Corbyn Keir Starmer New Labour Martin Forde	24 July 2022	Craig Murray	About a third of the mass membership that Corbyn brought into the Labour Party has now left. Starmer, having lied his way through his leadership election, has now positioned the party very squarely back as Blairite and Tory Lite. There is therefore a very real argument that the Forde Report simply does not matter.
Document:The Four Horsemen Gallop By	blog post	Theresa May Syria Donald Trump Skripal Affair	11 April 2018	Craig Murray	The notion that Britain will take part in military action against Syria with neither investigation of the evidence nor a parliamentary vote is worrying indeed. Without Security Council authorisation, any such action is illegal in any event.
Document:The Freedom of Courage	blog post	Corporate media The Establishment G4S Secure Solutions Francisco Franco Mariano Rajoy Catalonia Serco Carles Puigdemont	1 October 2017	Craig Murray	When you see the right wing Establishment worldwide, plus the entire mainstream media, united against ordinary people as we see today in Catalonia, it's a no-brainer which side you should be on.
Document:The Gulf of Credibility	blog post	Iran Norway Shinzō Abe Mike Pompeo Frontline John Bolton	14 June 2019	Craig Murray	That Iran would target a Japanese ship and a friendly Russian crewed ship is a ludicrous allegation
Document:The Incredible Disappearance of Shai Masot	blog post	Liam Fox Corporate media Joan Ryan Adam Werritty John Mann Shai Masot Peter Willsman Israel/Lobby	2 June 2019	Craig Murray	The open attempt to stifle all criticism of Israel, and in effect to make adherence to zionism a pre-condition for membership of the Labour Party – or indeed acceptance in wider society – is a vicious form of authoritarianism that should have been repudiated robustly from day one.
Document:The Intellectual Dishonesty of the Guardian	comment	The Guardian Stephen Burgen Jennifer Rankin Catalan Independence	31 October 2017	Craig Murray
Document:The Magnitsky Myth Exploded	blog post	European Court of Human Rights Magnitsky Act Bill Browder Sergei Magnitsky	16 September 2019	Craig Murray	Craig Murray: I am offering a bottle of Lagavulin to anybody who can find me an honest and fair MSM report of this judgement reflecting that the whole story was built on lies.
Document:The Mind Numbing Hypocrisy of the Supreme Court	blog post	UK/Supreme Court Tim Crosland	21 December 2021	Craig Murray	So the Supreme Court has ruled that there must be a right to appeal against imprisonment, unless your name is Craig Murray, you are connected to Julian Assange or you are a "war on terror" whistleblower.
Document:The Price of Peace	blog post	Michael Gove Centre for Policy Studies Brexit Democratic Unionist Party Anglo-Irish Agreement Good Friday Agreement European Research Group	6 November 2018	Craig Murray	It is not possible to understand the current state of play in Brexit negotiations, without understanding that those effectively driving the Tory Party position do not view a hard border with Ireland as undesirable. They view it as a vital achievement en route to rolling back power sharing and all the affirmative measures which brought peace to Northern Ireland, in an affirmation of the glory and power of unionism.
Document:The Sad Death of James Le Mesurier	blog post	White Helmets James Le Mesurier	12 November 2019	Craig Murray	James Le Mesurier’s usefulness to Western security services, Israel and their Gulf allies came to an end when the jihadist headchoppers to whom Le Mesurier had been providing logistic support and invaluable propaganda, lost their last secure footing in Syria.
Document:The Stomach-Churning Victim Blaming by “Labour Friends of Israel”	blog post	Labour Friends of Israel Labour Party 2018 Gaza Massacre	14 May 2018	Craig Murray	Craig Murray: "I do not know what institutional ties the “Labour Friends of Israel” has to the Labour Party, but whatever they are they should be cut off immediately."
Document:The UK's Macabre Final Election	blog post	Boris Johnson Jeremy Corbyn Jo Swinson UK/General election/2019	11 November 2019	Craig Murray	This election is sordid, tawdry, corrupt and uninspiring; a fitting end for the UK and its long history of callous exploitation.
Document:The Unprincipled – and Potentially Racist – Lib Dems	blog post	Luciana Berger Chuka Umunna Jo Swinson Jenny Manson Clareine Enderby Sara Conway Finchley and Golders Green	13 September 2019	Craig Murray	If LibDem candidate Clareine Enderby is indeed replaced by Luciana Berger she will be a victim of racism, as the sole grounds on which Ms Berger is being touted as preferable for the 20% Jewish Finchley and Golders Green constituency is her ethnicity.
Document:The Unrelenting State	blog post	Julian Assange Rafael Correa	31 May 2019	Craig Murray	Julian Assange: That the most lucid man I know is now not capable of having a rational conversation is extremely alarming.
Document:The World: What is Really Happening	blog post	White Helmets Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Douma attack Skripal Affair Ian Henderson (OPCW)	25 May 2019	Craig Murray	Alleged nerve gas attack in Syria - Amanda Martin tweets to George Monbiot: "Don't you smell a set up here though? Craig Murray doesn't think Assad did it."
Document:Truth and Ukraine	blog post	NATO Russia Military-industrial-congressional complex Ukraine Stop the War Coalition 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Western world	2 March 2023	Craig Murray	Commentator: "Russia didn't fail to take Kiev in March. It withdrew from Kiev because Zelensky agreed to peace talks. The US, UK and EU opposed the peace talks and Zelensky withdrew from the talks."
Document:What Might A Ukraine Peace Agreement Look Like?	blog post	Vladimir Putin Crimea Volodymyr Zelensky 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Donbas	13 May 2022	Craig Murray	Currently nobody in power wants peace. It is often impossible to resolve a geographic conflict without some element that can be portrayed as endorsement of ethnic cleansing. These are the problems of peace.
Document:What is Left for Palestine?	blog post	Gaza Israeli–Palestinian conflict Palestine Palestine Solidarity Campaign Mick Napier	17 May 2021	Craig Murray	It was a beautiful day in Glasgow yesterday for the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign demo, and it was great to be able to meet up again with so many magnificent and public-spirited people. It was an especially young crowd, which was excellent, and I was able to meet many Palestinians who drew comfort from the public support at a traumatic time.
Document:Where They Tell You Not to Look	blog post	Skripal Affair Gordon Corera Luke Harding DSMA-Notice Steele dossier	30 April 2018	Craig Murray	Craig Murray's rule number one of real investigative journalism: 1. Look Where They Tell You Not to Look
Document:Why Barnard Castle	blog post	GlaxoSmithKline Dominic Cummings Barnard Castle	24 May 2020	Craig Murray	On 12 April 2020 Dominic Cummings was seen in Castle Barnard during lockdown. Two days later, GSK of Barnard Castle signed an agreement to develop and manufacture a vaccine with Sanofi of France.
Document:Why I am Convinced that Anna Ardin is a Liar	blog post	Julian Assange Anna Ardin Sofia Wilen	11 September 2012	Craig Murray	To those useful idiots who claim that the way to test these matters is in court, I would say of course, you are right, we should trust the state always, fit-ups never happen, and we should absolutely condemn the disgraceful behaviour of those who campaigned for the Birmingham Six
Document:Your Man in the Hague (In a Good Way) Part 1	blog post	Gaza Israel South Africa International Court of Justice Genocide Convention	11 January 2024	Craig Murray	The fact of genocide is incontrovertible and had been plainly set out. But several of the Judges are desperate to find a way to please the USA and Israel and avoid countering the current Zionist narrative, the adoption of which is necessary to keep your feet comfortably under the table of the elite.
Document:Your Man in the Hague (In a Good Way) Part 2	blog post	Gaza Israel South Africa International Court of Justice Genocide Convention	14 January 2024	Craig Murray	"These two days in the Hague were absolutely crucial for deciding if there is any meaning left in notions of international law and human rights. I still believe action by the Court could cause the US and UK to back off and provide some measure of relief. For now, let us all pray or wish, each in our way, for the children of Gaza."
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery – Assange Hearing Day 1	blog post	Woolwich Crown Court Julian Assange/Imprisonment	25 February 2020	Craig Murray	It does not matter to Baraitser or Arbuthnot if there is any genuine need for Assange to be incarcerated in a bulletproof box, or whether it stops him from following proceedings in court. Baraitser's intention is to humiliate Assange, and to instill in the rest of us horror at the vast crushing power of the state.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery – Assange Hearing Day 2	blog post	Chelsea Manning David Leigh Luke Harding Vanessa Baraitser Julian Assange/Imprisonment	26 February 2020	Craig Murray	Then, to wrap up proceedings, Baraitser dropped a massive bombshell. She stated that although Article 4.1 of the US/UK Extradition Treaty forbade political extraditions, this was only in the Treaty. That exemption does not appear in the UK Extradition Act.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 10	blog post	Eric Lewis Thomas Durkin Julian Assange/Imprisonment	16 September 2020	Craig Murray	Q. Counsel for the US Government James Lewis QC asks defence witness: you suggest that the First Amendment precludes this prosecution. A. Eric Lewis Yes, There has never been a prosecution of a publisher under the Espionage Act of 1917 for publication of classified information.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 11	blog post	Daniel Ellsberg John Goetz Julian Assange/Imprisonment	17 September 2020	Craig Murray	Dan Ellsberg, doyen of whistleblowers, had at first been inclined to believe the US Government on Iraqi WMD, just as he had first been inclined to believe the government on deaths caused by Wikileaks releases. In both cases it had proved they were making it up.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 12	blog post	Iraq Body Count John Sloboda Carey Shenkman Clair Dobbin Julian Assange/Imprisonment	18 September 2020	Craig Murray	Finally US Government lawyer Clair Dobbin unveiled her key point: Surely all these contentious points were therefore matters to be decided in the US courts after extradition? No, replied defence witness Carey Shenkman. Political offences were a bar to extradition from the UK under UK law, and his evidence went to show that the decision to prosecute Assange under the Espionage Act of 1917 was entirely political.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 13	blog post	Nicky Hager Ruth Smeeth Khalid El-Masri Jennifer Robinson Carey Shenkman Dean Yates Julian Assange/Imprisonment	20 September 2020	Craig Murray	“Strictly protect” is nothing to do with security classification, which is what protects national security information. As Nicky Hager said, its normal use is to prevent political embarrassment. As in Australasia, it is a term largely used to protect their secret political assets.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 14	blog post	Cryptome Andy Worthington Cassandra Fairbanks Christian Grothoff Julian Assange/Imprisonment	22 September 2020	Craig Murray	Following defence witness Professor Grothoff, the only further evidence heard was the reading by Edward Fitzgerald QC of the gist of a statement from Cassandra Fairbanks. I did not hear most of this because, having adjourned to 4.30pm, the court re-adjourned earlier than advertised, while Julian’s dad John Shipton, the musician M.I.A. and I were away having a coffee.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 15	blog post	James Lewis JSTOR Michael Kopelman Julian Assange/Imprisonment	23 September 2020	Craig Murray	The only possible conclusion from yesterday’s testimony is that the performance of the representative of the United States Government (James Lewis QC) was, in and of itself, full and sufficient evidence that there is no possibility that Julian Assange will receive fair consideration and treatment of his mental health issues within the United States system. The US Government has just demonstrated that to us, in open court, to perfection.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 16	blog post	Quinton Deeley Seena Fazel ADX Florence Special Administrative Measures Julian Assange/Imprisonment	24 September 2020	Craig Murray	"As James Lewis QC and Edward Fitzgerald QC exchange pleasantries, as the friendly clerks try to make the IT systems work, and my mind swims in horrified disbelief. They are discussing a fate for Julian Assange, my friend, as horrible as that of the thousands who over 500 years were dragged from this very spot and strung up outside. They are all chatting and working away as though we were a normal part of civilised society."
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 17	blog post	Cryptome Internet Archive James Lewis Michael Kopelman Rachel Daly Nigel Blackwood Sondra Crosby Edward Fitzgerald Julian Assange/Imprisonment	25 September 2020	Craig Murray	I am going to write to Judge Baraitser applying for a copy of the transcript of Lewis cross-examining Professor Kopelman on the razor blade, with a view to reporting James Lewis QC to the Bar Council. I do wonder whether the General Medical Council might not have reason to consider the practice of Dr Rachel Daly in this case.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 7	blog post	Clive Stafford Smith Mark Feldstein Gordon Kromberg Julian Assange/Imprisonment	9 September 2020	Craig Murray	Today we had two expert witnesses, who had both submitted lengthy written testimony relating to one indictment, which was now being examined in relation to a new superseding indictment, exchanged at the last minute, and which neither of them had ever seen. I am obliged to say that I simply cannot believe the blatant abuse of process that is unfolding before my eyes in this courtroom.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 8	blog post	Gordon Kromberg Trevor Timm Paul Rogers James Lewis Julian Assange/Imprisonment	10 September 2020	Craig Murray	As Trevor Timm testified today, senior prosecutors in the US Justice Department had opposed this prosecution as unconstitutional and refused to be involved. President Trump was left with this discredited right wing sleazeball, Gordon Kromberg. Now here we are at the Old Bailey, with a floundering James Lewis clutching at this oaf Kromberg for intellectual support.
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 9	blog post	Babar Ahmad Abu Qatada James Lewis Eric Lewis Julian Assange/Imprisonment	15 September 2020	Craig Murray	Craig Murray: "It has taken me literally all night to write this up – it is now 8.54am – and I have to finish off and get back into court. The six of us allowed in the public gallery, incidentally, have to climb 132 steps to get there, several times a day. As you know, I have a very dodgy ticker; I am with Julian’s dad John Shipton who is 78; and another of us has a pacemaker."
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: the Assange Hearing Day 6	blog post	Kristinn Hrafnsson Belmarsh Prison Vanessa Baraitser Old Bailey Julian Assange/Imprisonment	2 March 2020	Craig Murray	If you asked me to sum up today in a word, that word would undoubtedly be “railroaded”. it was all about pushing through the hearing as quickly as possible and with as little public exposure as possible to what is happening. Access denied, adjournment denied, exposition of defence evidence denied, removal of superseding indictment charges denied.
