How do you feel about Julian Assange agreeing to a guilty plea in exchange for release, ending years-long standoff?

[coachTanthony]

[DarkLegacy]

Good to hear but he should face no punishment or have to plead guilty to anything as he did nothing wrong, he was not even in the USA where this happened, I also never believed the lies about him being a rapist. the US government paid that woman to say that. He owes nothing to the USA and was right to expose what an evil, dictatorial and corrupt country they are. Shame on our government here in the UK pandering to the illegal and corrupt USA, we should have told them where to stick their extradition request and rip up our Extradition Treaty with them.

The USA think they own the world and everyone has to follow their laws which we do not. I had have no fears and reservations about exposing them if i could or if i had secret documents about them, i would plaster them all over the internet. The USA break laws left right and centre so stuff them.

[DarkLegacy]

@RingOfFire Bore off with your nonsense

[DarkLegacy]

@RingOfFire How am i a communist you twat

[DarkLegacy]

@RingOfFire Im also not that either twat features

[AviatorTom]

This took way too long. I hope Australia takes good care of him. 😏

[purplepoppy]

Typical of the British to export their convicts to Australia, practically a death sentence with all the spiders and crocs.

[AviatorTom]

@purplepoppy... and the snakes.

[OfDeath]

@purplepoppy Drop bears too

Justice would be Assange granted a full and unconditional pardon and receiving millions of dollars in compensation from the US government for the torment they put him through by his imprisonment in Belmarsh beginning in 2019, his de facto imprisonment in the Ecuadorian embassy beginning in 2012, and his jailing and house arrest beginning in 2010.

Justice would be the arrest and prosecution of everyone who helped ruin his life for exposing those crimes. This would include a whole host of government operatives and officials across numerous countries, and multiple US presidents.

[Kelley1]

Thank you for the MHO.

[AmyHew1tt]

It took way too long, and he shouldn't have to plead guilty to anything. But I'm extremely glad for him and his family. I hope he can live out the rest of his life peacefully with them.

[OlderAndWiser]

With the government having an agenda that involved discrediting him, i don’t know what to believe about any sexual assault. Just because somebody says it, you don’t need to believe it. . . and especially when the government says it!

[blueonblack22]

Mixed feelings about how he leaked the war logs years ago.

At the time DOJ begged him to redact the names and identities of the assets we had abroad. Assange didn’t care, published them and ended up getting a lot of people killed in the process.

He’s really a narcissist not a “hero”. He hates America too.

Yes I believe in investigative journalism and I am not against revealing crimes our country has committed. But quit being naive that war crimes never happen in wars. Also quit believing the other side of conflicts don’t commit war crimes either (and are often worse).

[blueonblack22]

*DoD begged him to redact the names in the war logs. These were ordinary citizens with families abroad who were assisting the USA. Their cover was blown which cost many of them their lives which was 100% unnecessary.

[matchrestore]

I don't think there was any doubt that he was guilty of espionage, as the law is written at least. His admission of guilt isn't an admission that what he did was morally or ethically wrong, just illegal, and since it results in his release, it seems like a good deal for him.

Now if the charges of sexual assault are true, he should be in prison for those charges. There is some reason to question the validity of the charges as it was a convenient way to argue for extradition, but that doesn't mean the charges were necessarily false. There should be an independent investigation of those charges, although finding a neutral party might be difficult at this point.

[Agape93]

Just like every sex offender, kill him and be done with it.

[msc545]

He is not a sex offender. Learn to read.

[Agape93]

Sweden was seeking extradition because they claim he raped a woman. The charges were never dismissed, he fled the country. Innocent men don't flee a country over that

[msc545]

NO. Sweden dropped the charges for lack of evidence. Being charged is different from being convicted. He was never tried or convicted of anything.

[Agape93]

http s://en. m. wikipedia. org/wiki/Assange_v_Swedish_Prosecution_Authority#:~:text=The%20investigation%20into%20the%20rape, he%20were%20sent%20to%20Sweden.

[Agape93]

"On 12 August 2015, Swedish prosecutors announced that the statute of limitations had expired for three of the allegations against Assange while he was in the Ecuadorian embassy. The investigation into the rape allegation was also dropped by Swedish authorities on 19 May 2017 because of Assange's asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy"

[Agape93]

Basic Google search dude.

[msc545]

So charges were dropped.

[Agape93]

Yeah because he fucking fled long enough for the statue of limitation ran out on 3, and the Ecuadorian embassy wouldn't extradite him to Sweden for the rape charges, so they had to drop it.

Nice try.

[coachTanthony]

Agree every convicted sex offender though.

[Agape93]

Maybe Sweden can redo the charges against him, let him go through a trial.

[coachTanthony]

Ok but you said kill him …I guess evidence and conviction isn’t required 🤔

[Agape93]

For me? Nope. Better safe than sorry. 12 gauge to the head and chest.

[coachTanthony]

🤣🤣🤣 ok

[BetaBucks]

I accuse you right now. Will you use a 12 gauge? Better safe than sorry, right? 😁

[Agape93]

You ask a suicidal person to off themselves? My how edgy! And kinda pointless

[msc545]

USe a different source. An allegation is not a conviction much as you wish it was.

[Agape93]

Yeah because he fled the country you dolt. Read. You didn't even notice I already said he should go to trial in Sweden.

[msc545]

No, you said "kill him".

[Agape93]

Yeah, that's MY preference. If you fucking read for once, you'd see I said he should go to trial in Sweden.

[BetaBucks]

If you thought that was a serious accusation or suggestion, then you shouldn't be on the internet. Seriously. That was obvious sarcasm. Unless you were being sarcastic too, and I'm the one missing it 😂

[Agape93]

Yes that was sarcasm, beta lol

[BetaBucks]

So you do believe in killing people for being accused of SA. Thanks for clarifying. If someone accused you and your entire family right now, would you all deserve to die?

[Agape93]

Go ahead, kill every single family member, I don't give a shit. And while it was sarcasm, it wasn't a joke, asking someone suicidal if we deserve to die is exceedingly pointless lol

[BetaBucks]

So you do get the point, or nah? I'm not sure you're absorbing this. I get that you don't care about your family being murdered for no reason. Why would you? It doesn't personally affect you. But for you, do you deserve to die for being accused of SA? You can try to manipulate with your suicidal talk, but that trick doesn't work on me. Be honest.

[Agape93]

Oh I am. being honest. I have 0 value on my life so if someone thinks I did, go ahead and shoot me. I don't care.

I understand your point, I'm disregarding it entirely. I have no compassion for those accused, and less if they're guilty. I want them dead just to be on the safe side. So trying to switch it up and ask that applies to me or a loved one, it won't work, because it does apply. Period. I don't care if you agree with me.

[BetaBucks]

Okay that's a good response. Thank you. The world is filled with sadists and those with empathy, compassion or the respect for basic human rights. You're not an anomaly. But I respect you for being honest about it. I don't know if it's possible, but I hope you can pull out of this hole and get your humanity back.

[BetaBucks]

Without* empathy etc...

[Agape93]

I doubt I can, but I appreciate the respect. That's a rarity these days

[BetaBucks]

🤝 keep your head up

[Agape93]

You too

[msc545]

You think that every man accused of a sex crime is guilty, and you cannot be reasoned with regarding this. We have had this discussion before.

[Agape93]

Correct. But as I fucking said to coach, and I quote

"Maybe Sweden can redo the charges against him, let him go through a trial."

[Agape93]

So you going to keep ignoring that?

[msc545]

I am. It is inconsistent with "kill him".

[Agape93]

Kill him is my preference, saying he should go to trial is my compromise. The fact you admit you'll ignore that just shows how dishonest you are.

[msc545]

You cannot espouse too inconsistent positions simultaneously and expect someone to believe both of them. I believe you when you say kill him. The rest I think is just pandering to what is left of your sense of decency, which frankly isn't much.

[Agape93]

Funny how you speak of my decency when you openly admit to ignoring my comments so you can attack my usual go to. You're dishonest.

[RavVid]

I don't think we should let him back in Australia. This is all the doing of our Australian PM. We call him SoftCock at my local cafe after he hushed up the PLA navy attacking our HMAS Toowoomba in the Japanese Sea on a patrol to North Korea.

[DJB72]

Since he was never a US citizen, he never swore an allegiance to the country and is therefore incapable of committing treason against the USA.

The "traitors" are the fuckwits that are screwing up the country for the ordinary people who have to live there.

STAGED SOAP OPERA

THE LATTER WAS A REAL THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY HENCE THE OUTCOME IS DEATH

SORRY JULIAN BUT YOU ARE A ACTOR 🙄 . . .

COULD HAVE FOOLED ME 😂😂😂

[BetaBucks]

I'm sure the Intel agencies will create some more fake SA cases to get him once he's out anyway. He went against the ruling class, and he lost. He's lucky to have even made it this far. It won't last much longer.

[purplepoppy]

British should have stuck him in a crate and shipped him to the USA years ago.

[CALIGVLA]

It's funny to see neocons like you, who live in a slum, but supports every billionaire's cause. 🤭

[Anonymous]

making a deal with the Devil was the wrong move for him in all honesty

once you become an enemy of the globalist elites within the gynocentric social order whether it be Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Andrew Tate, Alex Jones and Julian Assange, they come for you real hard and only give you enough rope to hang yourself by accepting no-win deals

[patois]

All 20,000 leaked DNC emails have been removed from Wikileaks. Biden's DOJ is working hard to hide the nefarious crime wave the Democrat party are involved in.

[msc545]

He is doing this after being tortured and illegally jailed for years. He needs to get out.

[DarkLegacy]

Shame on our country the UK being party to this.

[msc545]

@DarkLegacy Not to mention murdering civilians which is what he exposed.

[DarkLegacy]

Yeah i know and he was right to do so

[DarkLegacy]

I noticed that Agape has now deanonoymized her opinion so she could block me. I knew it had to be someone who had a problem with me deleting all my comments

[dustybiker2]

@Msc544 Didn't he rape a girl?

(Pretty soon all gag will fall silent to this one chattering to you. And for good reason every time too.)

[msc545]

@DarkLegacy yes

[msc545]

@dustybiker2 He was accused, and the charges were dropped.

[dustybiker2]

Ah. I hadn't followed. Read from what the other comments were. Thanks for filling in.

[Snakeyes7]

@msc545 wait, if the charges were dropped doesn't that mean that the accusation was inconclusive and not proof of guilt?

[msc545]

@Snakeyes7 I don't know. I am not familiar with the Swedish legal system, but even if what you said is true that does no change the fact that he was never prosecuted. So you want him punished based only on an apparently weak accusation?

[OfDeath]

He knew exactly what he was doing. Now he’s an international celebrity and he’ll write a book, give TV and radio interviews all over the world and make millions.

He has served time already but he isn’t as innocent as everyone thinks.

[dustybiker2]

Everyone has their breaking point.

[SotiCoto]

They ruined his life. I expect at this point the poor guy is just broken and wants whatever scraps of his life back he can get.

[Fireguy17]

I have no clue who that is, much less why I would care about it.

[RedInnocent69]

About time. The crime wasn’t his in the first place.

[Jason2469]

Sold out. He'll be dead in a week and he earned it. Sell out.

[CALIGVLA]

Blahblahblahblah. Go suck a 🍆, neocon.

[Astarlessnightsky]

And the bad guys win again...

[CALIGVLA]

Yes, it's really bad to denounce war crimes.

[Astarlessnightsky]

If Julian Assange pleads guilty he admits he was wrong and the guys responsible for the war crimes get away entirely. It also sets a prescedence for other war crimes and their exposure to the public.

Its understandable when Julian wants peace, but for the broader picture the bad guys commited horrible atrocities, got away and now also get away from doing horrible atrocities to the good guys pointing the finger.

[jamesgoldman]

He'll be dead before the year is out
