Assange Is the living example that entrepreneurship is too often a reckless cause chasing a secure existence.

Being classified on the fourth level of the standard description of the entrepreneur, viz;
“Innovator/Revolutionary (attains growth through innovation)”, that might accurately categorise him as a terrorist could/should also be categorised as an entrepreneur, (one would think).

Seems strange in a way though, the Yanks who are renowned for heaping praise on their own entrepreneurial elite, chase down a fellow entrepreneur for the kill.

Unfortunately the author doesn’t pose a question within this article, but simply makes a biased statement.
A meaningful question could be accurately posed as this: Should Assange be treated as a terrorist or should he be treated as a failed entrepreneur?

The Americans have a very recent history treating their own failed home grown entrepreneurs with kid gloves.

The 2007/8 global financial crisis is the obvious. After all, they were responsible for the evaporation of over three trillion dollars of the superannuation funds belonging to the working classes, and escaped scott free.

The empirical evidence in the equation of outcomes for Assange, is too limited to be fair and supportive of justice, in my view.

One would think that Communist China, where no one gets a fair trial, wanted to extradite Assange, not America, the leader of the free world, and the country accusing the man of offences against it. But of course Bronwyn in the past has made excuses for China, and objected to criticism of China, so it's not surprising in her case. It's all about hatred of the West - the only society that provides the haters a safe environment to do their hating.

For anyone really interested in the Assange case
instead of flapping your jaws, how about reading
what international law experts like Nils Meltzer
have to say. He's been investigating the Assasnge case
for quite some time. It certainly can't hurt to get
up to date with all the facts instead of relying only
on ignorant and mis-informed opinions that are not
evidence based.

Thanks for posting those links ... at least someone on this site knows how to access reliable sources!

<< If his case were so strong then why did he spend seven years hiding in an embassy and wasting many millions of taxpayers money? >>

The Ecuadorian government offered Assange political asylum when they saw his own government was doing nothing to protect him from being extradited to the US. The Ecuadorian embassy was the only place where Assange would be safe, which he was, until elections in Ecuador ushered in a US-compliant government who immediately handed him over to British authorities. Assange has committed no crime. He should not have had to seek refuge in any embassy or to now be held in British custody. As for the money spent on his incarceration, you need to ask the British and American governments about that. And successive Australian governments too for that matter. Gillard, Turnbull and Morrison were all asked to intercede on his behalf. All refused.

<< At least George had the integrity to face a trial, although Julian may have a bit of trouble getting his Ecuadorian flat mates to attest to his good fame and character. >>

Assange has the integrity and courage to face a fair trial. What he is facing is anything but fair. It’s a full-scale witch hunt built on shaky and fabricated evidence. Assange doesn’t stand a chance.
President Moreno was being visited and pressured by US government officials. He placed Assange in solitary confinement and coutoff all outside communication. He allowed the CIA to spy on Assange and his lawyers. His claims about Assange’s hygiene are fanciful and nothing more than deliberate lies to besmirch Assange’s character.
To liken Assange with George Pell demonstrates your ignorance of what Assange has done for the world. He has revealed to us all the truth of the crimes committed by the ruling establishment. Pell is part of the establishment. He’s committed no such public service. All he’s done is fought to cover up the truth and to save his own skin.

Dear Bronwyn,

I've pre-ordered the book by Nils Melzer -
"The trial of Julian Assange: A Study of Persecution,"
which comes out in February 2022, I believe it's
going to be a shocker. However, well worth a read for
anyone interested in learning the truth of this sorry
saga.
