I was hoping Trump would pardon him, but he cucked too.
Julian Assange Case: Key Witness Admits He Lied, US Media Ignores Exculpatory Revelations
Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson admitted to an Icelandic newspaper that he lied about being asked to hack computers in order to get immunity and misrepresented his ties with the Wikileaks founder.

This suggests that Trump was either a distraction planted by the Uniparty, or a coward.
Our government is really a criminal syndicate

There are people who sincerely support withdrawal but also are angry about how Biden did it. Fine.
But a huge sector of institutional DC and the corporate press are pretending to be angry about the "planning" when, in reality, they are angry this war is ending & the US leaving

This is one of Trump's failings as well. He should have pardoned both Assange and Snowden.

The Plot to Kill Julian Assange: Report Reveals CIA Plan to Kidnap, Assassinate WikiLeaks Founder
More than 30 former officials say former CIA Director Mike Pompeo wanted to get even with WikiLeaks following its publication of sensitive CIA hacking tools, which the agency considered “the largest data loss in CIA history.”

Rights groups request US drops Assange extradition request
A new joint letter.
Two dozen human and civil rights, and press freedom groups have sent a letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland urging him to drop the extradition appeal and dismiss the indictment of Julian Assange.
Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, continues to be the subject of criminal and extradition proceedings in the US under the the Espionage Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, note the organizations that signed the letter, Index on Censorship, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and Amnesty International USA being among them.
There has been widespread criticism of the charges brought against Assange under the Espionage Act, since they are seen as criminalizing journalistic practices such as reporting about information leaked from governments – one of the hallmarks of free press and democracy.
The request to US authorities to abandon the attempt to extradite and prosecute the Australian whistleblower and journalist, who is held in the UK, is not the first of its kind – the original was made in February. This letter comes after news reports that kidnapping or killing of Assange was on the table in 2017 when the CIA discussed these options – and that was even before he was charged in the US.
Citing Yahoo News and announcing its support for the letter, EFF said that the CIA also had plans to spy on persons associated with WikiLeaks.
The letter states that there is even more urgency to the request now considering the Yahoo News revelations about CIA activities, which the groups said heightened their concerns “about the motivations behind this prosecution, and about the dangerous precedent that is being set.”
The letter reiterates that the different organizations behind it have different views on Assange and WikiLeaks, but agree that the case against him represents “a grave threat” to press freedom in the US and internationally, and if seen through, would create a precedent that would put other journalists and publishers at risk going forward.
The letter also notes that media outlets, both those supportive and critical of Assange and his work, have opposed the charges against him.
The extradition request has been denied by a UK judge once, but the US decided to appeal and a hearing is set to take place next week.
Why Julian Assange is such an unpopular cause
He compels us to publicly assume the knowledge we prefer to ignore
rump, along with his creation of the murderous vaxx,
This is more nuanced. I believe in early stages of plandemic no one knew what is going on, and being careful was fine. Trump was also likely fed BS by the court "scientists" - same "scientists" who feed BS to the D's now. He could not have known the problems with vaxx because he is not a vaccine scientist. Having said that, he should have followed up on this himself and figured out that there is a reason why there were 0 vaccines against coronaviruses.
They are just mascots for a criminal group.
I will also note that Trump did not pardon him. Instead, Trump pardoned mostly useless individuals.
you know that the US didn't bomb Libya to prevent a humanitarian crisis
He should have faced all of his accusers, and blew everyone up with the truth bombs.
richwicks saysyou know that the US didn't bomb Libya to prevent a humanitarian crisis
Was it for some pipeline deal?
Eric Holder saysrichwicks saysyou know that the US didn't bomb Libya to prevent a humanitarian crisis
Was it for some pipeline deal?
I don't know. There's multiple reasons. France wanted it for some reason, it prevented Qaddafi from introducing the new gold dinar which could have competed against the US dollar, Libya's gold was all stolen, and it opened up the floodgates for massive immigration into Europe.
That's the results of it. I don't know of any pipeline, but that could have been part of the deal.

I'm not surprised. What better was to murder a political dissident than with a "health" measure that just so happens to kill him?
That's vaxx vial serial numbers beginning with 4, probably.
NBC News Uses Ex-FBI Official Frank Figliuzzi to Urge Assange's Extradition, Hiding His Key Role
The most dangerous, and under-discussed, development in corporate media is the spate of ex-security state agents now employed to deliver the "news."
ASSANGE: Trump had no connection to Russia. When foreign companies, governments wanted a State Dept decision in their favor they donated to the Clinton Foundation
The decade-long repression of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, standing alone, demonstrates how grave neoliberal attacks on dissent have become. Many are aware of key parts of this repression — particularly the decade-long effective detention of Assange — but have forgotten or, due to media malfeasance, never knew several of the most extreme aspects.
While the Obama DOJ under Attorney General Eric Holder failed to find evidence of criminality after convening a years-long Grand Jury investigation, the then-Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), succeeded in pressuring financial services companies such as MasterCard, Visa, PayPal and Bank of America to terminate WikiLeaks’ accounts and thus banish them from the financial system, choking off their ability to receive funds from supporters or pay their bills. Lieberman and his neocon allies also pressured Amazon to remove WikiLeaks from its hosting services, causing the whistleblower group to be temporarily offline. All of that succeeded in crippling WikiLeaks’ ability to operate despite being charged with no crime: indeed, as the DOJ admitted, it could not prove that the group committed any crimes, yet this extra-legal punishment was nonetheless meted out.
Those tactics pioneered against WikiLeaks — excluding dissenters from the financial system and coercing tech companies to deny them internet access without a whiff of due process — have now become standard weapons. Trudeau's government seizes and freezes bank accounts with no judicial process. The "charity” fundraising site GoFundMe first blocked the millions of dollars raised for the truckers and announced it would redirect those funds to other charities, then refunded the donations when people pointed out, rightly, that their original plan amounted to a form of stealing. When an alternative fundraising site, GiveSendGo, raised millions more for the truckers, Canadian courts blocked its distribution. And it was just over a year ago when Democratic politicians such as Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) successfully pressured tech monopolies Google and Apple to remove Parler from its stores and then pressured Amazon to remove the social media site from its servers, at exactly the time the social media alternative became the single most-downloaded app in America. (This morning we published a new video report on Rumble that traces the emergence of this new anti-dissent tactic first pioneered on WikiLeaks and now widely used against dissent generally: “Banishment from the Financial System: the War on Dissent"). ...
It was Assange's reporting on and denouncing of violence by the Spanish government against its own citizens that was the final cause of Ecuador's decision to rescind its asylum. The Spanish government made clear to Ecuador how indignant they were that Assange was publicizing their abuses. It was just several months after the first protest movement that Ecuador announced it was cutting off Assange’s internet access, claiming the WikiLeaks founder had been "interfer[ing] with other states” — meaning speaking out on the civil liberties abuses by Madrid. And it was the following year that Ecuador, pressured by the U.S., UK and Spain, withdrew its asylum protection and allowed the London police to enter its embassy, arrest Assange, and then put him in the high-security Belmarsh prison where he has remained ever since despite being convicted of no crime other than a misdemeanor count of bail-jumping. All of this reflects, and stems from, a clear and growing Western intolerance for dissent.
