are you loco?

Where you say "I'm not sure what all the fuss is about with the Assange case"

We are not talking about an ordinary mortal, like you and moi. We are talking about a Gandhi like figure of the world stage.

About THE Mr Julian Assange the internationally recognised noble upholder of great causes, including:

- press freedom
- inciting wikileaks of SECRETs from lonely American transexuals, but never from Russia or China.
- world peace (if you will) and
- stud-muffin to famous women all over the world

Forget Assange and what he may or may not have done.
He did not hack into the US Intelligence system, Chelsey whatever its
name is this week was tried and convicted, gaoled and paroled for that offense.
What Assange did was load the data Chelsey sent him onto his server,
or someone else in his organistion did it.

The crux of the matter is he has not been in the US and is not a US citizen.
So the US wants to apply US laws to people who are not US citizens
and are not in the US.
Next time you exceed the speed limit you might be stopped by the California Highway Patrol ! !
What is the difference ?
Be careful what you write on here about China !
Who was the Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald that published the emails ?

AC,

On what grounds would they have for imprisonment?
He merely did what their own journalists do
all the time. They would then have to go after
their own leading media outlets - such as the
New York Times, and their reporters. As for treason?
He's not a US citizen.

He looked like Rip Van Winkle coming out of the embassy; probably has a trim as often as he bathes. And what can be said of the mindset of someone thinking it unreasonable to have to clean up after your pet? I think the embassy staff showed enormous tolerance.

One of the complainants wants justice for an alleged sexual assault:

Funny how a cardinal is guilty yet a pot stirrer alleging outrageous things like Hillary Clinton running a paedophile ring from a pizza joint in Washington DC is the victim of suss charges by lying women.

He did look very old, his ego has been out of control for a long while
He almost evicted himself with recent statements
Not helped by the new leader of the Banana Republic sheltering him, Cash in a brown paper bag?US dollars of course
Yet the younger man, the one who as said did not hack America but did show the world dreadful murders?
Hero? well thanks we needed that, but what followed asks questions
Trump, truly in my view, may rather he did not come to America, he must have much he could tell us

A flawed character who abused the power he wielded, Belly. I have no sympathy for him.

"Despite the constant claims from Assange and the Trumps that the emails stolen from Democrats implicated Clinton in scandal and corruption, it is important to keep in mind that the WikiLeaks method of encouraging Trump supporters and Reddit trolls to scour the documents for evidence of malfeasance did not, in fact, uncover any such evidence.

Instead, the hacked emails were used to reverse-engineer preposterous conspiracy theories, like the imaginary pedophilia scandal called Pizzagate, which WikiLeaks was still treating as real two months after the election"
