Neither Manning nor Assange will ever be employable, although maybe they can do a porno together when he gets out.

"As long as the leaks are not fake data I am 100% in favor of wikileaks continuing, regardless of where they get their funding, regardless of who provides the data, regardless of who it may implicate.
If wikileaks serves as a flashlight into the shadows of government, any government, any spook agencies, I am for it."
That's a point that should be emphasised, nobody doubts that what Julian published is accurate and verifiable.

He never leaked anything.
Just fake disinfo horesh!t to throw you fools off into the sunset while the real criminal activities could go on undetected.
That's why they wanted him arrested .....you fools are so OWNED ....
Doesn't even look like him.
Could be a double to throw everyone off even more.

"Don't drop the soap!"
HaHaHa! What makes me suspect he could easily be persuaded to do so?

Apparently he wouldn't clean his bathroom and rode a skateboard and played soccer in the hallway. It may be that being a bad roomie is what got him extradited!

Trump today: 'I know nothing about WikiLeaks.' Trump in 2016: 'Oh, we love WikiLeaks'
The president had nice things to say about WikiLeaks more than 140 times during the 2016 campaign.
By REBECCA MORIN 04/11/2019 11:05 AM EDT Updated 04/11/2019 01:14 PM EDT
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/11/trump-julian-assange-wikileaks-1269954
President Donald Trump on Thursday claimed, “I know nothing about WikiLeaks" — but in October 2016, he struck a very different tone.
"Oh, we love WikiLeaks," he said at a rally in North Carolina, after the site posted reams of hacked Democratic emails that cast a poor light on Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Trump for years has swung wildly from offering praise for WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange to blasting them, depending on which position suited him at the time.
Thursday was no different, after Assange was arrested by British police in response to a U.S. extradition request on charges that the WikiLeaks founder aided efforts to hack classified material on U.S. government computers in 2010.
When asked by reporters for his reaction, Trump said he was clueless about the controversial group. "I know nothing about WikiLeaks. It's not my thing," Trump said in the Oval Office. "I know there is something having to do with Julian Assange."
But throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, then-candidate Trump praised WikiLeaks more than 140 times for leaks targeting the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. Trump promoted "the WikiLeaks revelations" many times at his campaign rallies, claiming corruption in the Democratic Party.

He’s not being extradited for any free speech issues. The charge will be for his role in computer hacking, which is not protected.

I like the body double angle. No way this Gartenzwerge they dragged out of the embassy is Assange.

I think its him.
I guess the "all you can eat" iguana tacos treatment didn't work.
(I just imagine them bringing in Ecuadoran iguanas in the diplomatic bags,..)
The third rail that will get this thread locked; Chelsea Manning.

^^Well there was the recent 4.2 billion dollar loan that got approved Moose^^. Pretty strange that the IMF would agree to loan a country all but in the toilet and fallen apart politically and economically, and who is routinely denigrated and savaged in the US press that much money. Whats the collateral? Who knows what else. If US oil company's start going back in, you'll know. https://www.enca.com/business/imf-approves-42bn-loan-ecuador
"WASHINGTON - The International Monetary Fund on Monday approved a $4.2-billion, three-year loan for Ecuador, part of a broader aid package to help support the government's economic reform program. The Washington-based lender agreed to the terms of the financing late last month, and the final approval of the IMF board on Monday releases the first installment of $652-million."
I thought it was also interesting that @ a week back it leaked that Assange was going down.

Makes sense to me.
Ecuador gets a 4.2 Billion dollar loan & the Trump administration "plays-nice" with another schisthole country that humors the USA.
I don't regret Assange being handed over to the US for our version of justice.

How did he even end up in the UK ...why not go to non-extradition country instead? How dumb one had to be to hang in Europe considering the circumstances...
Pretty strange that the IMF would agree to loan a country all but in the toilet and fallen apart politically and economically They do it all the time, depending on geopolitical demands, nothing new here...pumping some heroin to temporarily revive the addict.

How would y'all feel if someone hacked your computer and told the world about all the porn you've been viewing or what your bank account number is for the cash you get from your marijuana business?

Replace "porn" with "ch**d porn" and "marijuana" with "heroin" or "meth" and suddenly everything seems right... so, it depends

Zbrown you want to keep the money in cash, although CO is trying to develop a special credit union for it.
Assange is facing 10 years and I don't see an obvious defense. Publishing classified info is one thing but hacking into the pentagon must be illegal. At least with the felony he will get a jury trial and can go for jury nullification. formerclimber I agree U.K. was a bad place to hide, Snowden had a much better plan.
