WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces what could be his final court hearing in England over whether he should be extradited to the United States to face spying charges.
“Julian has been indicted for receiving, possessing and communicating information to the public of evidence of war crimes committed by the U.S. government,” his wife, Stella Assange, said. “Reporting a crime is never a crime.”
Working with the russians at Russian Today (a known propagandist channel) is not a crime, but it shows everything you need to know about Assange.
Assange is a piece of shit hypocrite. He was more into the aesthetic qualities of being an "anti-US contrarian" as opposed to a journalist (real journalists don't work at Russia Today) or a human rights activist (Assange definitely doesn't care about the millions whose lives were ruined by the russians).
If assange wanted everyones support, he shouldnt have made his outlet so crazily right wing.
It started out more neutral, but when you do things like not release the RNC emails after releasing DNC emails, then youre agenda is clear and youre not the "pure source of information" or whatever he thought he was
Well, to be fair, his biggest leak was probably about the Iraq war, which was an RNC adventure. Though as time went on, it did seem that he started to align with Kremlin social media campaigns.
It's impossible to tell if this was because he always was working with them as sources or if he was driven to Russia as an out due to being hunted by the west.
You don't seem to care about the millions lives ruined by american imperialism. Zelensky is also defending Israel but i do not wish anything bad to ukranian, russian and israelis civilians
Assange doesn't care about victims of US imperialism. It's all grandstanding and attempts to manipulate useful idiot types. He didn't even bother to remove PII of people under risk during his "disclosures".
US does a lot of bad things, but they are not fundamentally evil.
Everything done by the Russians has always been about killing, torture and genocide.
Show me one example of russians doing something positive. Even WW2 that they fetishize, they originally collaborated with the Nazis to split up Europe.
As an American I will say that we are a fundamentally evil country. Our people are mostly not evil, but our governmental system does immeasurable evil to people in this country and across the world.
The reason the US is going after him is because he exposed them as war criminals. Everything else is secondary to them.
The US is a war criminal state and likes to act like the world police. This must end. Whistleblowers should be protected from the US, not punished by and shipped off to it on demand.
