Also, I don’t really feel empathetic towards Assange, he acted as a Russian mouthpiece with his show on RT and his interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
I wish more people would see this. He isn’t some freedom fighter. He happily became Putin’s useful idiot and published the selective leaks Russia provided to swing the 2016 election to Trump. I find it hilarious that after that, Trump wanted to kill him.
I get no paywall. I’m betting you want to stay willfully ignorant. Where do you think Assange/wikileaks got the info from the DNC?
Try Wikipedia
On December 9, 2016, the CIA told U.S. legislators that the U.S. Intelligence Community concluded Russia conducted operations during the 2016 U.S. election to prevent Hillary Clinton[13] from winning the presidency.[14] Multiple U.S intelligence agencies concluded people with direct ties to the Kremlin gave WikiLeaks hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee.[14]WikiLeaks did not reveal its source. Later Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, claimed that the source of the emails was not Russia or any other state.
The point is, it was selective. Russians hacked BOTH the RNC and DNC, then only sent the DNC information to Wikileaks. Assange was a moron that did exactly what Putin wanted him to and selectively hurt Democrats to help Trump.
The fact the you find it hilarious when you see evidence that directly contradicts your assumptions should be a clue as to where your defense against coming to grips with reality lies.
If Assange helped Trump at the behest of Trump’s very powerful ally, why would Trump want to kill him?
Maybe the answer is that Assange did not actually help Trump at the behest of Trump’s very powerful ally. Maybe the answer is that Putin is not Trump’s very powerful ally. Maybe both of those things are true.
You are literally receiving the world’s best propaganda from the USA which has a 100-year history of developing sophisticated anti-Russian propaganda and you’re choosing to believe it despite Assange actually publishing documented evidence of US war crimes that put him in a position to be targeted by the most violent military intelligence apparatus in the world and you want to believe the story being told by the intelligence community through their mouthpieces in the government and the news media despite having direct evidence that contradicts your position?

I just read the whole wiki on assange, didn’t see anything about selective leaking or any bias from him.
Could you please provide sauce for this claim?
Assange is a brilliant man and a hacktivist from what I read.

This article doesn’t even mention Assange’s name.

Yeah, real hilarious.
