Double Down News… Assange was not a journalist but a publisher one that only had a history of hacking not journalism… if you received information that on said release would result in the torture and deaths of innocent civilians would you publish it and claim you aren’t responsible for said deaths? The publisher had the ability to hide the names of innocents but they did not as so they are dead. (I am excluding the war crimes cause you clearly don’t give a dam about them given the person that’s speaking and the war crimes and thousands of deaths they have excused over the years… unless DDN also agrees that Assad and Putin governments haven’t been slaughtering civilians and that DDN thinks that genocide has not been caused by those two tyrants)

[@owenlong2501]

Brigadier General Robert Carr testified there was not one example of lost life due to Wikileaks or Julian Assange. If you're going to state blatantly false information , I for one find it hard to attach any gravitas to anything you say. You're a clown sir and appear to be guilty of following the worm.

No he has not been changed and gagged and we are not living in medieval times. We have flushing toilets...so does he. What we have is a tyrannical government that is funded by corporations that sway there votes. It's a system that the founding fathers created in all there wisdom. The youngest being 18 years old. Until you clean the swap and check everyone in the senate and the house your fucked.

[@tahwsisiht]

You are right, but I am happy because at least he is out. I am grateful for those who worked so hard to achieve even this much. I am grateful for his wife and his family. They gave him strength to survive this awful, unjust ordeal. Nobody can give him back the years he lost, the mental torture he endured, the love and devotion from those who understand his sacrifice can ease it. I wish, in the future, we create a law to protect journalists and we name the law after him. We owe him that.

Es ist ein Sieg des Systems, indem er dem investigativen Journalismus einen Schlag versetzt und ihm den Wind aus den Segeln nimmt.
