Julian Assange is a political prisoner worn down by a rigged judicial system that will never stop seeking to destroy him

More American propaganda. Who still views shills as credible?

u/FreeThinkingMan 16d ago

Which shills do I deem credible? Your comment makes no sense kid. RT is literally Russian propaganda just like how Assange and Snowden are Russian agents.

Snowden is only in Russia because America cancelled his passport mid transit, leaving him stuck there. He was on his way somewhere else entirely.
Don't blame him for actions performed by the American government.

RT is the beacon of truth and Assange and Snowden are heroes. Deal with it.

Why do you communicate like a child? You have to be 15 years old tops.

Why do you communicate like a shill? You have to be well paid to write shit like this.

u/FreeThinkingMan 16d ago

Do you assume that everyone who disagrees with you is a shill? Do you know what confirmation bias is yet? Again, why do you communicate like a child?

u/Cropitekus 15d ago

not everyone, just people like you.

So why do you communicate like a child?

When I talk to a child I try to get down on their level.

I mean, of course. He’s dedicated his life to leaking classified government secrets. What the fuck did he expect would happen? What did any of you expect? He’s lucky to not be dead already. I’m not saying it’s right, but headlines like these ignore the massive legal shit that this dude will permanently be in for the rest of his existence.

Play with the worlds biggest dumpster fire and you’ll be engulfed in flames.

During Ellsberg's time, establishment journalism rallied to his side. If not for that, Nixon would have absolutely given Ellsberg the same treatment Assange has received or worse.

What we're seeing now is only possible due to the moral vacuum occupying the space vacated by the 5th estate. What's ironic, they've distanced themselves from Assange in hopes of self-preservation, but ultimately their course is one of self-annihilation.

All I’m saying is that if you fuck around with world leaders they usually fuck you back.

Yes. Nixon had his goons break into Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office, looking for kompromat. Their goal was to paint him as a mental defective Commie patsy, and then they could destroy him.

But back then, NY Times wasn't the cowardly servant of the military-industrial establishment.

Shit disturbers can always get got via covert actions. But today they can assassinate a man in full daylight.
