Weather Trump is hero or villain,,in regards to Julian Assange,,, is yet to be seen.

Very wise, my friend. At least you take a more careful approach about this than simply react with emotions and believe the propaganda being fed.

Here is a hint. If the shills are here excitedly pushing one narrative, you can bet the opposite is true.

Just as almost everything they have been pushing has been found to be lies and propaganda, so too will this blow up in their faces.

Julian Assange just took one step closer to freedom and exoneration today. We should be celebrating! And I certainly have!

The entire arrest was a show.

Do you really think they would allow him to come out holding that book if it wasn’t?

Looks to me like they were covering him to protect him as they transferred him into the van. Lord knows he is a target of some very powerful people. Perhaps his past two years in the Embassy was for his protection not from Trump, but from Trump’s enemies?

Look at Assange moments later after the arrest. He is broadly smiling, winking, and giving a thumbs up.

He is the source. He is the Achilles heel to the whole Russia lies propaganda. It wasn’t the russians, but a patriotic Bernie Sanders supporter who couldn’t stand to see Hillary steal the nomination who gave him the emails. Assange is the knight piece in this chess game which will take out the queen. He is Trump’s valuable asset and ally.

Of course Trump is playing stupid and announces that he is staying out of it and letting the DOJ deal with this. The optics need to be that they are not working together, when in reality, what a little bird has been chirping about for over a year, is this has been planned all along.

Assange is the source.

According to the plan, once the DOJ was cleaned out and the criminal referrals of the traitors who perpetrated the Russian hoax and illegal spying were handed to the DOJ (which happened today by Nunes), then the climax of the movie can begin to be put in motion- namely the sworn testimony of Assange, on the record, about who gave him the leaked DNC emails (Seth Rich).

We are watching a movie, with some great actors.

What happens to Assange ultimately? My guess is he is freed, either by being found not guilty, by presidential pardon or by have time served already in the Embassy.

Whichever the case, Assange took his first big step toward freedom today, and the DS players are in full blown PANIC.

What's the fall back when you allow him to be hanged? Oh that was just an actor, a Hollywood trick they had to give him a new identity, you know witness protection since he would be a target by all of these people that would go after him otherwise for making Clinton lose.

LOL. He is not the one who will get hanged. Even the charges brought against him are not for such a punishment.

What will be the fallback for the ones who will have eggs on their face when their lies, like the Russian collusion hoax, is revealed and Assange takes down the DNC with his testimony?

 

[nikcers]

LOL. He is not the one who will get hanged.

Clinton is the one cheering today he said, " I told you so ". I can't believe you are cheering with Clinton today

What is she supposed to say? Forget about arresting the guy I wanted to silence by droning? LOL

Of course she would say that.

What she didn’t say however is how scared to death she is of this new development.

By Julian Assange April 25 at 7:39 PM

Julian Assange is editor of WikiLeaks.

Mike Pompeo, in his first speech as director of the CIA, chose to declare war on free speech rather than on the United States’ actual adversaries. He went after WikiLeaks, where I serve as editor, as a “non-state hostile intelligence service.” In Pompeo’s worldview, telling the truth about the administration can be a crime — as Attorney General Jeff Sessions quickly underscored when he described my arrest as a “priority.” News organizations reported that federal prosecutors are weighing whether to bring charges against members of WikiLeaks, possibly including conspiracy, theft of government property and violating the Espionage Act.

All this speech to stifle speech comes in reaction to the first publication in the start of WikiLeaks’ “Vault 7” series. Vault 7 has begun publishing evidence of remarkable CIA incompetence and other shortcomings. This includes the agency’s creation, at a cost of billions of taxpayer dollars, of an entire arsenal of cyber viruses and hacking programs — over which it promptly lost control and then tried to cover up the loss. These publications also revealed the CIA’s efforts to infect the public’s ubiquitous consumer products and automobiles with computer viruses.

When the director of the CIA, an unelected public servant, publicly demonizes a publisher such as WikiLeaks as a “fraud,” “coward” and “enemy,” it puts all journalists on notice, or should. Pompeo’s next talking point, unsupported by fact, that WikiLeaks is a “non-state hostile intelligence service,” is a dagger aimed at Americans’ constitutional right to receive honest information about their government. This accusation mirrors attempts throughout history by bureaucrats seeking, and failing, to criminalize speech that reveals their own failings.

President Theodore Roosevelt understood the danger of giving in to those “foolish or traitorous persons who endeavor to make it a crime to tell the truth about the Administration when the Administration is guilty of incompetence or other shortcomings.” Such “endeavor is itself a crime against the nation,” Roosevelt wrote. President Trump and his officials should heed that advice.

Words matter, and I assume that Pompeo meant his when he said, “Julian Assange has no First Amendment freedoms. He’s sitting in an embassy in London. He’s not a U.S. citizen.” As a legal matter, this statement is simply false. It underscores just how dangerous it is for an unelected official whose agency’s work is rooted in lying and misdirection to be the sole arbiter of the truth and the interpreter of the Constitution.

Pompeo demonstrated a remarkable lack of irony when he suggested that WikiLeaks “focus instead on the autocratic regimes in this world that actually suppress free speech and dissent” — even as he called for a crackdown of such speech. In fact, Pompeo finds himself in the unsavory company of Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey (257,934 documents published by WikiLeaks); Bashar al-Assad of Syria (2.3 million documents); and the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia (122,609 documents), to name just a few who have tried and failed to censor WikiLeaks.

Pompeo was once a WikiLeaks fan. On July 24, then partisan politician Pompeo gloatingly tweeted: “Need further proof that the fix was in from Pres. Obama on down? BUSTED: 19,252 Emails from DNC Leaked by WikiLeaks.” Pompeo liked WikiLeaks when he perceived it was publishing material revealing the shortcomings of his political rivals. It was only when our publications touched Pompeo’s rice bowl that WikiLeaks became his target. Pompeo subsequently deleted the tweet, but he is learning that in the digital age, the truth is hard to hide. You don’t get to love the truth one day and seek its suppression and the incarceration of its publisher the next.

As a candidate, Trump tweeted: “Very little pick-up by dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks.” The president mentioned WikiLeaks 164 times during the last month of the election and gushed: “I love WikiLeaks.”
All democratic governments are managed by imperfect human beings. And autocracies are much worse — the “benign dictator” is a myth. These human beings, democratic and autocratic alike, make mistakes and commit crimes, and often serve themselves rather than their countries. They are the focus of WikiLeaks’ publications.

The “Pompeo doctrine” articulated in his speech ensnares all serious news and investigative human rights organizations, from ProPublica to Amnesty International to Human Rights Watch. The logic that WikiLeaks, or these organizations, are somehow “intelligence agencies” would be as absurd as the suggestion that the CIA is a media outlet. Both journalists and intelligence agencies cultivate and protect sources, collect information and write reports, but the similarities end there. The world cannot afford, and the Constitution does not permit, a muzzle placed on the work that transparency organizations do to inform the American and global public.

Fundamental issues of free speech and freedom of the press, and of the interplay between liberty and security, date to the Republic’s founding. Those who believe in persecution and suppression of the truth to achieve their parochial ends are inevitably forgotten by history. In a fair fight, as John Milton observed, the truth always wins.

fake news

I guarantee your track record for fake news far outweighs mine.

What does a great movie have? Great actors. Mueller and Sessions were so far two of my favorite ones in this particular movie. Assange also deserves a nod.

 

[nikcers]

I guarantee your track record for fake news far outweighs mine. .

You would say that after I repost a WikiLeaks article that I originally posted in 2017 when Assange published it.

I’m not denying Assange wrote that or what he wrote wasn’t accurate.

What I am saying is that this has nothing to do with the movements happening now and your posting of that article is a distraction. It does nothing to negate what I wrote above.

Weren’t you the one pushing a Russian collusion with Trump, which Mueller found to be fake news and now we see criminal referrals to the DOJ on those who started it and perpetuated it? What exactly is your credibility?

 

[TER]

By the way, [MENTION=49112]Influenza[/MENTION], thank you for the neg rep! Sincerely, I take it as a compliment and welcome more of them from you!

I don't see TER "allowing" anything unless you think TER has the power to swoop in and snatch Assange from federal custody and give him a new identity.

TER did not say that we shouldn't protest the prosecution, he just presented a theory that predicts a favorable outcome.

We need people to hold Trump accountable because he is the President not scumbag Adam Shit or Hitlerly Clinton

Oh, you weren’t pushing the narrative that Trump was colluding with the Russians to destroy Hillary’s campaign?

You said Trump colluded with the Russians both in the general and the primary.
I argued with you about it.
