Cae como la suave lluvia del cielo sobre el lugar de abajo&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, pero \u00bfqu\u00e9 sabr\u00eda ese bardo de la misericordia ante el ajuste de cuentas en los albores de su reinado hist\u00f3rico? Despu\u00e9s de todo, uno puede conocer la medida de una sociedad por la forma en que trata a sus prisioneros, y su reino sin duda ha sobresalido en ese sentido.<\/p>\n<p>La Prisi\u00f3n de Su Majestad de Belmarsh est\u00e1 situada en la prestigiosa direcci\u00f3n de One Western Way, Londres, a corta distancia del Antiguo Colegio Naval Real de Greenwich. Qu\u00e9 agradable debe ser que un establecimiento tan estimado lleve su nombre.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Uno puede realmente conocer la medida de una sociedad por c\u00f3mo trata a sus prisioneros&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Es aqu\u00ed donde est\u00e1n recluidos 687 de sus leales s\u00fabditos, respaldando el r\u00e9cord del Reino Unido como la naci\u00f3n con la mayor poblaci\u00f3n carcelaria de Europa Occidental. Como su noble gobierno ha declarado recientemente, su reino est\u00e1 experimentando actualmente &#8220;la mayor expansi\u00f3n de plazas carcelarias en m\u00e1s de un siglo&#8221;, con sus ambiciosas proyecciones mostrando un aumento de la poblaci\u00f3n carcelaria de 82.000 a 106.000 en los pr\u00f3ximos cuatro a\u00f1os. Todo un legado.<\/p>\n<p>Como preso pol\u00edtico, retenido a placer de Su Majestad en nombre de un soberano extranjero avergonzado, me siento honrado de residir entre los muros de esta instituci\u00f3n de categor\u00eda mundial. Verdaderamente, su reino no conoce l\u00edmites.<\/p>\n<p>Durante su visita, tendr\u00e1 la oportunidad de darse un fest\u00edn con las delicias culinarias preparadas para sus leales s\u00fabditos con un generoso presupuesto de dos libras al d\u00eda. Saboree las cabezas de at\u00fan mezcladas y las omnipresentes formas reconstituidas que supuestamente est\u00e1n hechas de pollo. Y no se preocupe, porque a diferencia de instituciones menores como Alcatraz o San Quint\u00edn, no hay comedor comunitario en un comedor. En Belmarsh, los presos cenan solos en sus celdas, lo que garantiza la m\u00e1xima intimidad con su comida.<\/p>\n<p>M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de los placeres gustativos, puedo asegurarle que Belmarsh ofrece amplias oportunidades educativas para sus s\u00fabditos. Como dice Proverbios 22:6: &#8220;Instruye al ni\u00f1o en su camino, y cuando sea viejo no se apartar\u00e1 de \u00e9l&#8221;. Observe las colas que se forman en el botiqu\u00edn, donde los reclusos recogen sus recetas, no para el uso diario, sino para la experiencia de ampliar horizontes de un &#8220;gran d\u00eda fuera&#8221;, todo a la vez.<\/p>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n tendr\u00e1 la oportunidad de presentar sus respetos a mi difunto amigo Manoel Santos, un hombre gay que se enfrentaba a la deportaci\u00f3n al Brasil de Bolsonaro, que se quit\u00f3 la vida a solo ocho metros de mi celda utilizando una tosca cuerda fabricada con sus s\u00e1banas. Su exquisita voz de tenor ahora silenciada para siempre.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mi difunto amigo Manoel Santos&#8230; se quit\u00f3 la vida a s\u00f3lo ocho metros de mi celda&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ad\u00e9ntrese en las profundidades de Belmarsh y encontrar\u00e1 el lugar m\u00e1s aislado entre sus muros: Sanidad, o &#8220;Hellcare&#8221;, como lo llaman cari\u00f1osamente sus habitantes. Aqu\u00ed le maravillar\u00e1n las sensatas normas dise\u00f1adas para la seguridad de todos, como la prohibici\u00f3n del ajedrez, mientras se permite el juego de damas, mucho menos peligroso.<\/p>\n<p>En las profundidades de Hellcare se encuentra el lugar m\u00e1s gloriosamente edificante de todo Belmarsh, es m\u00e1s, de todo el Reino Unido: la sublimemente llamada Belmarsh End of Life Suite. Escuche con atenci\u00f3n y podr\u00e1 o\u00edr los gritos de los presos: &#8220;Hermano, voy a morir aqu\u00ed&#8221;, un testimonio de la calidad de la vida y de la muerte dentro de su prisi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Pero no tema, porque hay belleza entre estos muros. Del\u00e9itese con los pintorescos cuervos que anidan en la alambrada y con los cientos de ratas hambrientas que viven en Belmarsh. Y si viene en primavera, podr\u00e1 ver los patitos que ponen los \u00e1nades reales en el recinto de la prisi\u00f3n. Pero no se demore, porque las voraces ratas se aseguran de que sus vidas sean ef\u00edmeras.<\/p>\n<p>Le imploro, rey Carlos, que visite la prisi\u00f3n de Su Majestad, Belmarsh, pues es un honor digno de un rey. Al embarcarse en su reinado, que siempre recuerde las palabras de la Biblia del Rey James: &#8220;Bienaventurados los misericordiosos, porque ellos alcanzar\u00e1n misericordia&#8221; (Mateo 5:7). Y que la misericordia sea la luz que gu\u00ede su reino, tanto dentro como fuera de los muros de Belmarsh.<\/p>\n<p>Su m\u00e1s devoto s\u00fabdito,<\/p>\n<p>Julian Assange[:en]By <a href=\"https:\/\/declassifieduk.org\/a-kingly-proposal-letter-from-julian-assange-to-king-charles-iii\/\">Julian Assange<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-meta mt-1\">5 May 2023<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>To His Majesty King Charles III,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the coronation of my liege, I thought it only fitting to extend a heartfelt invitation to you to commemorate this momentous occasion by visiting your very own kingdom within a kingdom: His Majesty\u2019s Prison Belmarsh.<\/p>\n<p>You will no doubt recall the wise words of a renowned playwright: \u201cThe quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ah, but what would that bard know of mercy faced with the reckoning at the dawn of your historic reign? After all, one can truly know the measure of a society by how it treats its prisoners, and your kingdom has surely excelled in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>Your Majesty\u2019s Prison Belmarsh is located at the prestigious address of One Western Way, London, just a short foxhunt from the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. How delightful it must be to have such an esteemed establishment bear your name.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cOne can truly know the measure of a society by how it treats its prisoners\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is here that 687 of your loyal subjects are held, supporting the United Kingdom\u2019s record as the nation with the largest prison population in Western Europe. As your noble government has recently declared, your kingdom is currently undergoing \u201cthe biggest expansion of prison places in over a century\u201d, with its ambitious projections showing an increase of the prison population from 82,000 to 106,000 within the next four years. Quite the legacy, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>As a political prisoner, held at Your Majesty\u2019s pleasure on behalf of an embarrassed foreign sovereign, I am honoured to reside within the walls of this world class institution. Truly, your kingdom knows no bounds.<\/p>\n<p>During your visit, you will have the opportunity to feast upon the culinary delights prepared for your loyal subjects on a generous budget of two pounds per day. Savour the blended tuna heads and the ubiquitous reconstituted forms that are purportedly made from chicken. And worry not, for unlike lesser institutions such as Alcatraz or San Quentin, there is no communal dining in a mess hall. At Belmarsh, prisoners dine alone in their cells, ensuring the utmost intimacy with their meal.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the gustatory pleasures, I can assure you that Belmarsh provides ample educational opportunities for your subjects. As Proverbs 22:6 has it: \u201cTrain up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.\u201d Observe the shuffling queues at the medicine hatch, where inmates gather their prescriptions, not for daily use, but for the horizon-expanding experience of a \u201cbig day out\u201d\u2014all at once.<\/p>\n<p>You will also have the opportunity to pay your respects to my late friend Manoel Santos, a gay man facing deportation to Bolsonaro\u2019s Brazil, who took his own life just eight yards from my cell using a crude rope fashioned from his bedsheets. His exquisite tenor voice now silenced forever.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cMy late friend Manoel Santos\u2026took his own life just eight yards from my cell\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Venture further into the depths of Belmarsh and you will find the most isolated place within its walls: Healthcare, or \u201cHellcare\u201d as its inhabitants lovingly call it. Here, you will marvel at sensible rules designed for everyone\u2019s safety, such as the prohibition of chess, whilst permitting the far less dangerous game of checkers.<\/p>\n<p>Deep within Hellcare lies the most gloriously uplifting place in all of Belmarsh, nay, the whole of the United Kingdom: the sublimely named Belmarsh End of Life Suite. Listen closely, and you may hear the prisoners\u2019 cries of \u201cBrother, I\u2019m going to die in here\u201d, a testament to the quality of both life and death within your prison.<\/p>\n<p>But fear not, for there is beauty to be found within these walls. Feast your eyes upon the picturesque crows nesting in the razor wire and the hundreds of hungry rats that call Belmarsh home. And if you come in the spring, you may even catch a glimpse of the ducklings laid by wayward mallards within the prison grounds. But don\u2019t delay, for the ravenous rats ensure their lives are fleeting.<\/p>\n<p>I implore you, King Charles, to visit His Majesty\u2019s Prison Belmarsh, for it is an honour befitting a king. As you embark upon your reign, may you always remember the words of the King James Bible: \u201cBlessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy\u201d (Matthew 5:7). And may mercy be the guiding light of your kingdom, both within and without the walls of Belmarsh.<\/p>\n<p>Your most devoted subject,<\/p>\n<p>Julian Assange<\/p>\n<p>A9379AY<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\" \/>[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[:es]Por Julian Assange &nbsp; A Su Majestad el Rey Carlos III, Con motivo de la coronaci\u00f3n de mi se\u00f1or, he cre\u00eddo oportuno invitarle de todo coraz\u00f3n a conmemorar esta trascendental ocasi\u00f3n visitando su propio reino dentro del reino: la prisi\u00f3n de Su Majestad, Belmarsh.
