Assange

I wouldn't work for someone who was incompetent enough to keep my real details on computers. My work doesn't even do that for people who do animal testing

So just black ops then

Well obviously, despite talking about Wikileaks many times during the campaign Ole Trump says he's never heard of them./

I don't know if it is just me but I find it worrying that the President of the US has normalised lying.
Trump says he knows nothing about Wikileaks. Clearly a lie. World shrugs and thinks oh he is just lying again like normal.

That is really toxic, ethics-eroding leadership.

How is that different to any other publisher? Remember the Guardian and New York Times published in unison with Wikileaks. I think the only difference was that they redacted some identities where they thought there was risks to those spies in foreign governments

Is it different to a UK newspaper publishing that say Nancy pelosi was working for the kgb, if it was true?

The espionage is the crime, not the uncovering of it

I think the difference is in how the information is used or not used. When Wikileaks was original set up as a impartial whistleblower to stick it to the Man then that seemed fine (as with the joint NYT and Guardian publications - there wasn't a single target or 'side'). When Assange and his other nameless Wikileaks hierarchy (or does he make all the decisions?) decide to hack the DNC and when to release it that becomes deliberately political. There was no attempt at balance, he was looking to have an impact on the US election.

The Telegraph was quite happy to shaft the Tories as well as the rest of the MPs over their expenses, despite being a self-proclaimed bias news outlet. Same with the general media and the Panama papers etc. They also tend not to sit on scoops as long, in case they are scooped themselves, and their aim is circulation and revenue rather than such direct one-off political action.

Assange and Wikileaks have lost that impartiality that they still try and hide behind, as Assange wanted to be a player and a mover and a shaker. If the condom story is right, then he is just a grade A clam anyway.

It’s a funny kind of *struggle cuddle*. Not funny haha. He cut the ends off comdoms. The sex was consensual the lack of effective contraception and protection was not.

I heard he was accused of switching lanes without indicating.

Had a beer in my Croydon local and there was a team from Lunar house home office celebrating as one of the women served Assange his papers in Edgware nick basically telling him he is to be chucked out, he would not accept so his lawyer has been served the papers.

Apparently there is going to be a whole load of brick levelled at Assange moving forward more than thats known public.

Assange battle 'now political'
In a tweet, Mr Corbyn shared a video said to be of Pentagon footage - which had been released by Wikileaks - of a 2007 air strike which implicated US military in the killing of civilians and two journalists.

The BBC's diplomatic correspondent James Landale said backing Assange is not without political risk and will not find universal favour among Labour MPs - but Mr Corbyn's intervention "means the battle over Assange's future will now be as much political as it is legal".


Is this to do with his general sympathies for these types or a more political move?

Either way, I think its a sign Assange is going to become a pawn in much bigger moves...

That makes sense

That doesn't make any sense. He faces a year in prison here for jumping bail. After that, there would need to be another hearing to decide on whether he should be extradited to Sweden or the US.

He is going to be extradited, Lunar House is border control, its good bye moving forward.

And as mentioned there is apparently going to be alot more hitting the fan for him than what is currently known.

Good luck Assange

I know what Lunar House is but they do not deal with extradition requests. That is a matter for the courts and it is likely that Sweden will want him too.

Sorry my colleague just corrected me, she said she served him with the papers that informed him of the US's request to have him formally extradited. He refused the papers so were served to his lawyer.

 

[StephenH]

He's going nowhere anytime soon.

Labours response to this has been horrendous.

Why?

As much as I'm no Corbyn fan, I'd take him over the Daily Mail any day of the week.

Corbyn is backing the wrong horse here. This is not going to end well for Assange

(edit: unless he flips on the Russian election stuff)

Assange has people on the hook in the highest of places in the US and Russia methinks.

 

[P.D.]

Assange has people on the hook in the highest of places in the US and Russia methinks.

I doubt it. He'd have released it by now or used it to help him get out to another country.

If he does then I need TP for my bunghole, look forward to seeing it.

That's not the point. The point is to ideological position himself against anything American (or on other occasions Israeli). It was the same with him being about the only person in the West backing Maduro in Venezuela

Well I don't know his motives, nor really care, but the end result will be the same.
