Julian Assange Arrested!!!!!!

[Lomasexual]

I used to like wikileaks when it was just about transparency, and exposing the rotten truths of the world. I can get behind that.

When they started being strategic about what they released, in order to further their own ideological agenda, then I lost all respect.

They went from having a simple, but respectable, principle and turned into just another group of scumbags.

It's been a rough few months, but finally the D superfans have some good news they can celebrate.

This is contrary to reality. Not only have they generally remained the same organization in mission & behavior from their onset - they answered criticism that they focus too much on leaks in Western countries and began adding Russian leak content (even though it was a strange & arbitrary demand to begin with).

In a past discussion we established that you consider most of Earth's human population "far-right" since you believe positions that are normal in all but 6 or 7 countries globally (restricted immigration, national identity associated with ancestry, etc) to be indicative of far-right beliefs, which would of course make the "far-" prefix oxymoronic as it represents global normalcy and your own radical globalist/post-identitarian beliefs represent a very small fringe. As such your own compass for bias is objectively unreliable.

It's less likely that Wikileaks changed and more likely that you liked them when they were new and no defensive narrative was prepared by their targets. In other words, you were "allowed" to like them without social repercussions.

When a defensive narrative was generated (Standard stuff: They are working for the racists, the Russians, etc etc etc) you withdrew your support for social reasons, not wanting to be publicly affiliated with the slander, which is of course the whole point of the slander.

Secretly you still support what they do.

They'll probably now say ***** colluded with Assange instead of Russia to "rig" the elections.

He'll probably get Clinton'd while in custody. I suspect that the ********s won't want him testifying on national TV.

They were dropped. I'm guessing the US wants him for supposedly leaking classified intel.

That's not a crime. He didn't steal it. He's a member of the media.

I agree, but i guess that the powers that be, disagree.

Later, the police added that he was "arrested on behalf of the United States authorities, at 10:53hrs after his arrival at a central London police station. This is an extradition warrant under Section 73 of the Extradition Act. He will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court as soon as possible."

Assange looks in a bad way.

Interesting the message hes making, holding up the Gore Vidal Book 'history of the national security state'

which for people who dont know is essentially about how the goverment has been taken over by the military industrial complex.

Crazy that dude lived there for 7 years.
