After reading the NSA article about getting ISIS in very subtle ways that makes it seem like technical glitches, does anyone believe that there were actual “technical glitches” preventing this guy from testifying on video about his CIA torture?

yes, I believe there's a team funded using millions of US taxpayer money working on sabotaging Assanges defense in every possible way including illegal and immoral ways like hacking, bribing, black mailing, etc..

Surely.

Though he did suffer some technical difficulties, he did not testify as the court ruled his testimony was not relevant to the case. Subtly is not even necessary.

FTA:

it will likely be excluded as irrelevant because the Espionage Act does not allow a public interest defense.

Assange is accused of 17 counts of violating the Espionage Act

The Jews are squeezing so hard now even average joe(80% are born followers) is seeing the wizard behind the curtain!

Prescott Bush made the cia for gods sake lol. These people have dominated for 4000 years until Christians fought back, who were gentiles who knew the teaching because of jesus, the king of the Jews, who sent 12 opposites out to teach the gentiles.

The isralites(Jews) killed their own king and denounce him to this day! Even Muslims, a religion that came along way after this fact 2000 years ago accepts the lamb of god, jesus.

Not Jews! They the only ones calling themselves gods chosen, no one else!

They lack empathy, its Real simple really! That's how they do what they do. Hard for most gentiles to understand, you know, been empathetic and all

The article about NSA "getting ISIS" mentioned:

Once there, see the posts by bashinator and _kbh_ for other sources.

Back to the topic here, the "technical glitches" were present throughout the process, as reported day after day on:

https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/

E.g.

"This hearing has frequently been interrupted by the strange incompetence of the Ministry of Justice in establishing simple videolinks."

"It was not Professor Feldstein’s fault the day finished in confused anti-climax. The court was unable to make the video technology work. For ten broken minutes out of about forty Feldstein was briefly able to give evidence, and even this was completely unsatisfactory as he and Mark Summers were repeatedly speaking over each other on the link."

Also playing with the times:

"Daniel Ellsberg was to give evidence this afternoon. Edward Fitzgerald QC applied for his videolink evidence to be heard at 3.15pm [(in England)] which is 07.15am in California where Dan lives. Baraitser insisted it could not be put back beyond 2.30 pm, thus forcing an 89 year old man [Daniel Ellsberg] to give evidence at 6.30am [(his local time)]. Simply stunning."

The use of internet was also intentionally restricted:

The judge "explained this by stating that the public could normally observe from within the courtroom, where she could control their behaviour. But if they had remote access, she could not control their behaviour and this was not in the “interests of justice”."
