“Not just an attack on press freedom, not just intimidation, but it says: Even if you’re exposing WAR CRIMES, we’re coming after you.”
At the 6:00 minute mark, the clip from MSNBC shows where Te Reo Putake gets his major talking point re WikiLeaks. It’s false of course, and Paul Jay deals with it at the 11:30 mark….
- Thank you. Another very good discussion on this issue, where disinformation is almost overwhelming dominating the mainstream ‘media’

Assange’s health has been seriously undermined according to“Dr. Sondra Crosby, an associate professor of medicine and public health at Boston University and an expert on the physical and psychological impact of torture, has evaluated detainees held by the United States, including at its prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. She quietly began meeting with and evaluating Assange in 2017 inside the embassy where he had sought refuge.”Morrissey10.1.1.1
No sympathy for Assange’s suffering from Chris Trotter or Jim Mora….McFlock10.1.1.1.1
self harm is often poorly understood.- You’re correct: ultimately he harmed himself by exposing those massacres of civilians. Manning too: let her rot.If only every journalist were as compliant and amenable to the authorities as, say, our own Mike Hosking, or those drones at the BBC.If only they’d gone after that narcissistic prick Ellsberg in the same way they went after Assange.Ellsberg. The very name brings out in hives all who love and trust our politicians, our spies, our military top brass. Narcissist that he was, and is.
- Don’t forgetthe alleged sexual assaults. They were pretty damaging, too.
- Key word: “alleged”. As in “manufactured by U.S. spooks and totally discredited.”The foul and equally fictional denunciations of dissidents in Red China and Soviet Russia were pretty damaging, too.
- You’re still a rape enabler when someone you like is accused, then.
- ?????Fantasies concocted by criminals do not constitute rape.

Conspiracy type comments I’ve heard on the web re: Assange that I think are interesting enough to post here1. He is being carried out because if he doesn’t set foot on the ground he cannot be properly charged
2. The purpose of his arrest is not to actually punish him, but to put critical evidence before the public so they can see behind the scenes
3. Because this isn’t a “real” arrest (?!) he will be released later on.- three lols in a row…
