@kquinn909 saidI know you meant to say "The US Govt. vs. the criminal Assange".
Last court appearance https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/10/assange-in-court/ Doubt he's coming out alive. Sad day for freedom of the press.

@kewpie saidThe Assange affair has little to do with Capitalism or Communism.
If Assange disappears into the US "justice" system it's the end of the line for free speech and whistleblowers. Capitalism does totalitarianism just as efficiently as communism does.
The only difference being that if he had been nabbed in a communist country, he wouldn’t have his day in court.

@kquinn909 saidAssange has a heart condition. They will probably Milosevic him. They didn't want a trial with him either. He was no worse than Abe Lincoln.

@kquinn909 saidThe only difference between "war crimes" and what Assange did was that we weren't at war.
So you believe the usa should be allowed to commit war crimes and get a pass?
Of course, I am talking about how he allowed the Russians to release what they called "Hillary's emails" with zero providence. There's no way to know if what they released was real. In fact, I'm guessing it wasn't. Their aim was to benefit Trump, of course they'd doctor as many emails as that took. We had ZERO way of knowing what the original emails said. Assange allowed lies to be taken as fact. He deserves to go to jail.
War crimes? Hardly.

@kquinn909 saidGiven the hostility of the Trump administration to journalists and the truth in general, it was little surprise that they chose to indict Assange (which the Obama administration had declined to do).

@whodey saidHate to break it to you, but Assange is being prosecuted by a right wing administration for getting information from Chelsea Manning regarding war crimes in Afghanistan ( the revelation of which "leftists" applauded).
No, no, whistle blowers for Leftists will always be welcome.

What is your source of information?
@no1marauder saidAdmit it, Lefties only like Manning because he wears dresses and has the legs for it.
