But they also know how to show a good poker face. "Have a nice day!", while they fleece you.
She was born in South Africa, but holds dual Swedish and Spanish citizenship.
Right, but I'm not referring to her.
His lawyer in Sweden to help him avoid the rape charges extradition who got into the embassy as his lawyer and secretly got pregnant twice and had two children while Assange was in an embassy annoying everyone.... That married him in 2022.
The only good thing about her is that she doesn't sound like a Russian operative like Assange and whatever the fuck happened to WikiLeaks.
In the summer of 2016, as WikiLeaks was publishing documents from Democratic operatives allegedly obtained by Kremlin-directed hackers, Julian Assange turned down a large cache of documents related to the Russian government, according to chat messages and a source who provided the records.
WikiLeaks declined to publish a wide-ranging trove of documents — at least 68 gigabytes of data — that came from inside the Russian Interior Ministry, according to partial chat logs reviewed by Foreign Policy.
In the months leading up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, WikiLeaks published tens of thousands of potentially damaging emails about Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and her campaign, information the U.S. intelligence community believes was hacked as part of a Kremlin-directed campaign. Assange’s role in publishing the leaks sparked allegations that he was advancing a Russian-backed agenda.
So the argument from Assange was that all relevant information from the cache was already public from previous publication. The entire cache was public when FP published the article you're referring to so they could have pointed out what was actually worth reporting if there was anything.
Here's the article for everyone else:
The point about the 2012 Syria emails is more interesting, but the whole point about Wikileaks running cover for Russia never made a lot of sense to me since they have published damaging info about Russia.
ETA: I'd be remiss not to mention that the discussion of Assange's biases is a red herring to the real problem which is the US's attempt to criminalize publication of state secrets.
Stop spreading propaganda you stupid inferior American
Assange’s fate could be decided at the end of the two-day hearing Wednesday, but it’s more likely that it could take weeks for the judges to decide on his conviction
Act like a spy and rapist, be treated like a spy and rapist.
Whistleblowers are impartial. They don't withhold information to help tip the scales. Edward Snowden is a whistle blower. Julian Assange is a Russian asset and a rapist.
The trial is not due to the accusations you make, and for the record, there's no law against being biased or not impartial.
True but they do have a point.
Every time Lemmy discusses this, there are people going on about bias in journalism, as if that's somehow relevant to how many human rights he should be allowed to have.
Source?
Assange got e-mails for both Republican and Democratic parties from a Russian hacker associated with the Kremlin and then specifically chose to withhold the Republican e-mails and release the Democratic e-mails. If he meant anything he said about transparency, he would have released everything, but that's not what he or his employers wanted. They wanted their puppet president in Trump, and Assange was happy to help like the Russian asset he is.
man discovers journalists can have biases
man demands they be executed/detained forever
yep its a liberal; free speech for the slave owners moment.
Please jump
Dude, no.
And you are a doltish Karen.
What do the sportsbet odds say? /s I feel so sorry for this guy and his family
Can’t wait to stop hearing about this guy.
This comment section is proof that lemmy is as brain dead and propagandized as reddit.
Oh no! People aren't reacting the way I want them to! Maybe you are the one who is "brain dead and propagandized". Did you ever think of that?
If this was reddit, it would be full of the admin approved "factual opinion" with a wave of deleted & hidden comments, and banned users.
This is miles better than getting force-fed actual propaganda.
Agreed. I've been blocking these accounts. People really do have brain rot. Absolutely stupid dumb fuck idiots. I hate them all
Lol the guy who registers fediverse username with live letter to Reddit. Lol. Go back you bot lover
Then leave. Nobody is forcing you to continually steep yourself in the wrong viewpoints.
I personally don't think he's a rapist but I do think he needs to be in prison for dumping all that classified material.
If that makes me brain dead, I don't want any part of what you consider dialogue.
Why should the US get to keep its war crimes hidden again?
Not a fan of the first amendment, I take it? Not only did Assange not break any US laws, he wasn’t even within US jurisdiction at the time.
