Many of the political class and their donors, benefactors and associates are criminals and should be behind bars. As an old cartoon once stated, which has stood the test of time: Boy: "Dad, I am considering a career in organised crime". Dad: "Government or private sector?"

@@alexugur you are right, the problem we have this days is that when you disclose information about criminal activities by certain Governments, they turn it around and treat you as a criminal,,,that says one thing, we are manipulated by criminals and judged by them for their only purpose.

I am seeing a few comments similar to yours lately.They are usually from our friends in the US however sometimes others. The reason I mention this is not a negative one or anything hostile, just the reason I suspect for not knowing what I am about to talk about (meaning it most likely wouldnt and didnt make news at all there) You are correct the former Australian governments at the start was pathetic. However the past 4 years and ESPECIALLY the past 18 months the government has been completely in the fight to get the US to end its crusade. He was one of 3 main issues in the last visit to the White House from the Australian PM. This included a letter hand delivered to Joe Biden that was written and signed by almost every single member of the current Australian Parliament from both major parties and independents. It was 95% plus with from memory only 2 or 3 not taking part. They also played a majorly part of this final achievement in bringing him home. I am glad to see from the footage of him boarding the plane that airport that it was an RAAF diplomatic aircraft (very luxurious inside, the same that Carrie's our PM and high level officials as opposed to other options available in the RAAF's fleet. This is fantastic moment for Australians, Julian's Family, All Journalist around the world (including the jelous ones) and ALL his amazing supporters and advocates from around the world!

[@andyturbo]

@@hkiani6853 In some aspects yes, but to claim that being the absolute and only truth regarding every aspect then no you are wrong. Australia (more recently than ever actually) has on many occasions gone against the US stance.

It is clear that Julian Assange is NOT guilty, and has been forced to plead guilty under DURESS.

Welcome Home Julian Assange you "LEGEND", For standing up to "Tyranny" and for "Freedom of the Press".

A day of celebration, especially for those of us who have supported Julian from day one. At the same time its a complete disgrace that he has been forced to cop a federal charge in order to go free, when he should never have spent a single day in incarceration. Those 12 years of political incarceration by the UK and the US are a stain which will not easily be removed.

[@lagringa7518]

Which gave birth to the last 15 years of the total destruction of the 4th estate on MSM.... the TRUTH will be crushed at any cost.... except, thank the gods, for the alternative REAL media under attack right now, for as long as it's allowed to last.

[@johngraves6878]

Having served so much unjust time in prison and in resistance to authorities inevitably makes one think of figures such as Mandela, Gandhi, Dr. King, and other persecuted individuals. The issue this time was not one of national independence, or racial equality, but of freedom of information, press freedom, and opposition to wars around the world. The actions of the US national security state are unforgiveable...and somehow the US felt it could impose its laws upon foreign nationals who did not reside in the United States. I am appalled at the actions of Washington which collects taxes from me each year. It is a mafia all its own -- the BIG one, in fact.

[@ricjun3001]

[@Nighthawk-8050]

Julian Assange is tired, exhausted, burnout, and mentally broke down. This whole situation is definitely taking a toll. Let the man go so he can be with his family and live a quiet life.

[@lagringa7518]

I don't think that's a part of his nature... but I'm sure he needs a good rest, some information catchup and transition period back into a semblance of normalcy. However I don't think I'd choose to want to live in Australia anymore after how they betrayed him, but their government is captured as are all the 5 eyes. Interesting how all those countries complied to that agreement when the US is so obviously lawless within it's own borders and internationally. They could have chosen to disobey... but the fact is they are all infiltrated wef YGLs as are most of the EU leadership and the elected individual reps from each country (except for Clare Daly, Mick and and Christine Anderson). It's a club and humanity ain't going to be allowed into it.

[@lagringa7518]

Hallelujah... he's still alive and has made it this far! Fingers crossed that he makes it home (to the country that deserted him mercilessly for far too long). 🤨
