Truth Is Treason In An Empire of Lies



The issue, as I understand the actual charge, is that Assange actively helped Chelsea Manning hack the govt computer in order to get the documents he then published. I think it's correct that that is illegal, and apparently they have some evidence that shows Assange took a part-password from Manning and either he himself broke it or got a black hat to crack the rest.

Otoh, that may be a pretext just to get him over here, and lots more may be ready to rain down. I guess we'll see. But reportedly they've avoided any taint of 1st Amendment issues in the actual indictment.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I read the indictment. If he was involved in stealing documents and braking into our computer systems, he should be prosecuted fully. Not just for him, but every time it happens. Stealing files is not a "Freedom of the Press" issue.

The original rape charge was a trumped-up private prosecution in Sweden, dropped quite some time ago.

WikiLeaks was a good idea but people forget that dumping humungous numbers of documents there allows for hundreds of forgeries to go unscrutinized.

Putin's Pals essentially used WikiLeaks as a tool by dumping so much data and Assange had no way of knowing this. the seven year police/military presence outside the embassy was funded by the USA.

The cat is also in a sealed box, along with a flask of poison and a source of radiation.

I am not sure what your point is on this, though I do know that George Washington warned against foreign entanglements. In this specific case, some are concerned about arresting Assange being an attack on freedom of speech. That concern would be justified if he was being arrested for speech...but he was arrested for stealing from the government files. One is not free to do that.

if youve ever read bradleys manifesto, he had access to all of the documents and had access to TROVES of it. he was a data analyst who would review missions and come up with gameplans or strategies for future battles. He simply wasnt supposed to take it home, which he did, and was apparently protocol to keep copies of the data so it was simply lying around because he had so much of it apparently. Julian assange was a reporter in my opinion.

If you sit back and think about the timing, this is simply a way to introduce evidence Assange has against the Deep State. It is time to rumble and alot of the trash in the closet is getting ready to be taken out to the curb.

ah okay well at least wikipedia says he downloaded the database of materials over the internet. from my understanding if you are not supposed to access something that isnt yours its considered hacking even if you know how to access it.

From wikipedia :

Assigned in 2009 to an Army unit in Iraq as an intelligence analyst, Manning had access to classified databases. In early 2010, she leaked classified information to WikiLeaks and confided this to Adrian Lamo, an online acquaintance.[11] Lamo indirectly informed the Army's Criminal Investigation Command, and Manning was arrested in May that same year.[12] The material included videos of the July 12, 2007, Baghdad airstrike, and the 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan; 251,287 U.S. diplomatic cables;[13] and 482,832 Army reports that came to be known as the "Iraq War Logs"[14] and "Afghan War Diary".[15] The material was published by WikiLeaks and its media partners between April 2010 and April 2011.

i emphasize this because people are the biggest problem to security and there is a difference between hacking and having access to the data already and stealing. i did a small report when i was in school on him and this hacking charge is confusing me because its not in the main narrative that i previously know.

I was like wtf I didn’t say that but I mixed wiki pedia with my statement... I don’t believe it’s a she either trust me.

I found this in an article. This really sucks. Julian Assange's family gave him the cat. He should have safely transferred that cat back to a friend or family member. Give it to Pamela Anderson, she would have taken good care of it. But here's what the article says. I was a fan, but maybe seven years has made Assange lose his mind. This pisses me off.

------------------------------------------------
Turns out, Assange let his beloved pet go in November so he wouldn’t be trapped at the embassy anymore, Italian newspaper La Repubblica previously reported. The “isolation became unbearable” for the embassy cat and Assange allowing the feline to run free will give it “a healthier life.”

It's unclear where the cat is now.

Don't worry. Scotland Yard will find him. They're posting lost kitty pictures on every lamppost in London.

With everything that is happening in the world, you’re worried about a freaking cat?

Neighbor had a nest of bluejays on his property. Another neighbor loved feeding stray cats. All of the hatchlings fledged at the same time, and the cats ate every of them the moment they hit the ground. Feathers and bird parts all over bird man’s yard.

Bird man was furious. Cat man said ‘nature’. Days later, 26 cats were dead.

So, don't break any laws? Sure, I have no problem with that...

I got $10 that says that if Assange is convicted of a crime in the U.S. court system, he will be pardoned by Trump (or whoever is President) by inauguration day, 2021.

Any takers?

Good. I've developed the same viewpoint.

Assange has been the victim of a politically motivated witch hunt. it was Putin's minions who manipulated WikiLeaks thru a massive dump of documents.

I'm confused, as world politics often makes me. If I'm reading this right, several countries over several years have spent several million dollars haranguing this guy for "stealing", "hacking", and "violation of privacy", for either entering a .gov database or acquiring material from a .gov employee, yes?

What's been done about the tens of thousands of murders he's uncovered?
