The democratic west out there engaging in one of the longest and most dramatic repressions of a journalist in history.
Absolutely disgusting how radlibs turned on him as soon as the media blamed Wikileaks for “aiding Russia”
Fucking idiots will turn on anyone the media tells them to.
I remember talking with my ex about him, I remember her saying "I used to be very interested in what he had to share, but when he started going after Hillary I thought, wait a minute... who's side are you on?" I'll never forget the way she said that. Like, this dude is exposing grotesque violations of human lives, but he dared to cast a stain on the golden goddess Hillary Clinton, so it's actually cool and good that he should rot in prison forever.
Also had an argument with this ex where I brought her to the jaw-dropping admission that she believed Cuba should surrender to the US's siege and give up their right to self-determination, purely because it would mean the people of Cuba would theoretically suffer less under the rule of the empire whose boot is currently upon their throat.
Amazing. He needs to move to a decent country and then write a book about the horror he experienced once he gets some psychological counseling for the PTSD. This man's a fucking hero.
I'm glad he's free but goddamn I don't think he's going to be straight for awhile, dude is really going to need some time to heal. Solitary confinement is torture and it's crazy how the prison system uses it with such ease.
Incredible news.
I don't think it can be understated just how much damage this man did to US credibility through wikileaks. I have no idea if he has the skillset he once had or the connections that enabled it but they incredible damage to the US and they hunted him relentlessly for it to set an example. And it worked flawlessly. Other outlets became considerably more on the side of the US in the aftermath of crackdowns on Assange and police raids of any news org that was publishing anything the US didn't like, the UK Guardian being an obvious famous example of this when the authorities raided them for Snowden's harddrives and forced them to take angle grinders to the drives while GCHQ operatives observed.
I wonder what "negotiations" took place. Is he allowed to go back to journalism if he wanted to?
It's hard to believe. But it's easy to believe the lack of attention this news is getting
Huh, was kinda never expecting to see the day.
Obviously a very good thing he's free but it sucks he had to spend so long in such awful conditions, I imagine you'd never fully get over that sort of experience (real doomer hours from me tonight I guess).
if I were him you would not catch my ass in any country with a US extradition treaty
Wow! I never though that I would see the day. Death to America, and all its vassals.
