Prosecute Julian Assange ("I love Wikileaks!")

[Speaker to Animals]

It was not the same thing as journalists publishing leaked information from insider sources.

Assange did essentially run an espionage op against the US Army.

The actual issue here is jurisdiction.

[TheReal_ND]

The US army is essentially an espionage op. Fuck em

[kybkh]

It's a big club........and WE ain't in it.

Fuck'em+1

[kybkh]

I’m pretty sure that test has already been failed. Are the proceedings to be public?

The test will be what happens to the NYT and WP Russiagate colluders Steele was handling, not Assange. That guys fucked. Can't, not nail him to the wall or you invite all kinds in "independent journalist" to hack your shit.

How could a dead Assange possibly help the national security statists in their efforts to keep us supine subjects, never questioning endless war and encroachment on our civil liberties? Because after Assange is dispensed with, who is going to take any risks to expose the crimes committed in our names and with our money? As I said in today's Liberty Report, we will only be left with the mainstream media state stenographers, whose publication of national security leaks mostly consists of bolstering or hampering rivals inside the deep state apparatus. Rarely if ever do they actually expose the deep state for what it is - a murderous, lying, authoritarian mob that seeks total control over all of us.


Mr Justice Repo Man has some thoughts in dissent recently.

https://reason.com/2019/05/30/dangers-o ... something/

In a recent dissenting opinion, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch warns of the dangers of the modern expansion of criminal law to the point where "almost anyone can be arrested for anything":

History shows that governments sometimes seek to regulate our lives finely, acutely, thoroughly, and exhaustively. In our own time and place, criminal laws have grown so exuberantly and come to cover so much previously innocent conduct that almost anyone can be arrested for something. If the state could use these laws not for their intended purposes but to silence those who voice unpopular ideas, little would be left of our First Amendment liberties, and little would separate us from the tyrannies of the past or the malignant fiefdoms of our own age. The freedom to speak with-out risking arrest is "one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation." Houston v. Hill, 482 U. S. 451, 463 (1987).

[SuburbanFarmer]

Heh. That guy still thinks we have a first amendment.

[BjornP]

Pleasant helicopter ride, Mr. Assange.

[TheReal_ND]

Muh 4d chess. Trump will surely pardon him!

[Speaker to Animals]
