What astonishes me is the breathtaking hypocrisy. The revolting Julian Assange continues his fight to avoid justice with supporter donations, and his supporters say, "Aw, poor Jules. He has suffered enough. He should be released.". Yet many of these same people were strong supporters of the Voice, an aspect of which is collective and inherited guilt, with one consequence being preschool children of English heritage writing sorry cards for their crimes against indigenous Australians.

People I know celebrate Australia Day for the life and opportunity provided for them and their families. Like it or loath it, the seed for that opportunity was planted with the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. As for that detestable creep Assange, I look forward to justice for the many people who suffered harm and death from his reckless release of details of US undercover informants and operatives. The narcissistic pig deserves justice.

Josephus,

You are entitled to an informed opinion.
And when you have one - I shall be happy to talk
to you again.

Enjoy your day.

Fester

Despite all the Leftist BS about the creep Julian Assange, he is still locked up; the Americans are not listening. He should face the music or die in captivity. Most people don't care which. He doesn't matter to anyone but his immediate family and the 20% insincere users of any opportunity they can find to cause trouble.

I believe that the Australia Day crap is the same: most Australians are not interested.

ttbn,

I believe that people should be interested, but rather than a narrative of hatred, it should be a celebration of the inclusion, equality and opportunity provided by an advanced civilisation. As much as I am in awe of how hunter gatherers survived on the continent, unlike Nathan I have no desire to live the dream myself.

Support for Assanges prosecution = support for the United States hostile foreign policy of threats, blackmail, regime change and military intervention.
Support for Assanges prosecution = support for the creation of terrorist groups who resist the Wests hostile foreign policies of threats, blackmail, regime change and military intervention.

You see the irony there?

Support for Assanges prosecution = Support for endless wars and government surveillance on all of its own citizens.
Support for Assanges prosecution = getting people killed all over the world for the sake of US hegemony; and enrichment of the elites, political class and the Military Industrial Complex.
Support for Assange's prosecution = Support for persecution of the media, and for the denial of the right of the public to know the full extent of what it's government does, in their name.

Just the same as support for Israel = supporting apartheid, ethnic cleansing, assassinations, executions, imprisonment without charge, torture, destruction of homes and dignity, genocide and land theft.
Not to mention deliberate starvation, amputation of kids limbs without anesthetic...
Murder of 26,000+ civilians and 7000 more unaccounted for under the rubble, 50,000 injured...

Support for Assanges prosecution = further division within Australia, you should support your own people over any foreign government.

If Assange exposed wrongdoing in Russia or China, he'd be congratulated.
He's being punished because he exposed wrongdoing within the US.
Obama decided years prior not to prosecute him for the release of things pertaining to Iraq.
Later Assange released the CIA's Vault 7 spying tools, and the Podesta Files prior to the 2016 election, which actually helped Trump win, but Trump stabbed Assange in the back at the request of CIA director Mike Pompeo, when he should've been thanking him.

Trump campaigned on draining the swamp,
But he surrounded himself with too many creatures from the swamp.

You can support the crumbling immoral US empire if you wish,
- Just know what you're defending isn't pretty.

It's overextended itself militarily and financially, just like Rome.
The 'Unipolar Moment' is already over, your clinging onto the past, and a new world is already emerging.

If it wasn't for Julian Assange, we wouldn't even know the whole story about the war in Ukraine.

Read the cable, 'Nyet means Nyet'

It makes absolutely clear the US did this deliberately to create a conflict.
It knew exactly what was going to happen and it deliberately worked towards that outcome.
