It is fascinating that only two people have done time for the war crimes committed in Iraq and those people are the whistle-blowers. Tells you everything about justice.
Assange started out seemingly okay. Heroic is putting it too strongly, but he seemed much the same as the actually-heroic Ed Snowden. WikiLeaks was perhaps a noble service in the beginning. But then it became clear that he only cared about himself, and pure libertarian anarchy. Total "freedom" for all, resulting in real freedom for no one, and a bad life for virtually everyone. He's just a selfish prick who picked on the weak, had mercy for no one, and cared not for any virtuous morality shared by any reasonable person. WikiLeaks became a hub for the spread of disinformation, misinformation, nonsense, and insanity. In my opinion, he's as far from being a hero as anyone can possibly be. A terrible, contemptible human who deserved every minute of the jail time he served, and who will hopefully be mostly forgotten in time, and remembered in reference only as the terrible, thoughtless, careless, barbaric person he is. It's so sad that the world has had enough distance that people are thinking of him fondly now, believing, through the haze and fog of time, that he is some kind of hero. Combing through the terrible and thoughtless things he actually did - including some awful, heinous acts - it's impossible to reach that conclusion.
@glen6494 - This is a very old case. It didn't require daily reporting until recent events. Early on, news coverage was extensive, including by CNN. Apparently your memory is either faulty or you're too young to remember.
I suppose Assange has reached the stage where he doesn't give a shit what the US call him, he knows their words are empty, pleading guilty is a meaningless gesture
i do agree its taken far to long and some action should be taken to Mr. Assange.. but i'm still skeptical what the verdict will be, only because "where" this will be done. For example, it would make me feel better it he was bought to Australia first, then high court, but still being on U.S soil makes it uneven. I believe anything can happen, regardless who is with him. (Australia Commissioner)
England and America can pay compensation for unfair imprisonment, held hostage. Also Ecuador is sending the bill to those countries to pay for all those years.
That is why tgey insisted on Assange pleading guilty, even though he was not. They think he will not be able to sue. .also Assange has no faith on US justice system... i don't blame him, neither do I.
@persuasivebarrier2419 He's spent most of his time in a Class A high secure prison .. Belmarsh Prison which is full of terrorists and murderers. The process has been the punishment.
'Mit solchen Freunden, braucht man keine Feinde" is a german saying roughly meaning that with friends like that you need no enemies. Citizens of allies are not granted the same rights under US law as US citizens nore rights like within their home nations. How any nation was consciously granting extradition treaties under such terms is beyond me. *Assange should not have to agree to a plea deal, the US should pay money for damages and pains caused by them* .
Because those countries want to maintain good relations with the USA. Also we aren't going to pay him damages. He released classified info. He is lucky he didn't get CIA-ed. XD

you call going to court, free?? i sure don't... and i've been in one. For some reason just because Assange is closer to his home country, changes the outcome... Stuff to (where) he actually is located what jurisdiction. That still counts.
Bush was tried in absentia by the International Commission of Jurists in Geneva…”The invasion of Iraq was neither in self defense against armed attack, nor sanctioned by the UN Security Council authorizing the use of force by member states and thus constituted the Crime of War of Aggression”…The only individual to be prosecuted and imprisoned for the CIA Torture Program was the whistleblower himself, ex CIA agent John Kiriakou.

Huge respect to the USA government. The American courts did the right thing. Journalists should have the right to report truthfully without fear of persecution
The problem is the court system is it all takes 'too long' or 'too much money'.. There the magic words to always drop cases, or give reduced sentences for otherwise criminal acts (not taking only journalism, but anything). Its soo dumb..... What ever happened to "you do the crime, you do the time" ? Seems that always fails today. And the court reckon justice is served... pfft.. not the way they do things. Money rules everything, "This is costing too much in legal fees" oh ok.. drop the case.. The only thing we are actually good on is solving crimes... Going back 40 years over "cold cases" to resume searching :P
No.. huge respect to the Albanese government who have been fighting to get him released and have had bills passed through our parliament, and have constantly pressured the U.S. in recent years to let the charges go.
They did not do the right thing. They made him plead guilty to a crime he didn't commit so he wouldn't die in prison. The right thing would have been to drop the charges. He is now a felon.
Just release him for time served. Others have done worse and walking free. Question: Did he lie about anything or held the mirror to the face of the US? If he was a Russian who did what he did against Russia, the west would be celebrating him as a hero. Shame🙏
After all, it's the media's job to suppress the truth and hide facts from the people so certain corrupt politicians can get more easily elected. Right? Listen to yourself ffs.
And what was his worst mistake? Oh, eh, exposing US war crimes. It's not the secrets, it's the US that rather keeps a lid on their own wrongdoings around the world.
So, I gather from this plea that he WAS guilty of espionage. However, like Trump, it also shows that endless legal stonewalling of the US legal system can get results for the guilty.
No, he wasn’t guilty of espionage but of the 18 counts, he had to accept one of them if he wanted to go home and after 15 years…..he just wants to go home. What we did to this man is disgusting!
Correct. He was not guilty pf anything. He was guilty of journalism and the fact the US couldn't handle the secrets of its behaviour in Iraq and Afghanistan coming out. He never set foot in the US. He never stole the informatio. He just published it as a journalist. @selecttravelvacations7472
'Stonewalling' in this case meant many years of incarceration in one place or another. Assange got away with nothing. He is likely to be subject to a 'time served' order, and that's how the law works. As for being guilty of 'espionage'; holding governments to account for concealing bad decisions is what democracy is about. And in any case, he is an Australian citizen; what right did the US have to expect that he or his country would bend over backwards to help them?
I hope Julian can soon go for a walk through a forest, sit near a camp fire and go for a swim before the world swamps him with there agendas. Bless Julian 🙏❤ = 🌱🌳🌺 thrive on.
It is conflicting. On one hand he did expose some shitty behavior by the US government in the wars in Iran and Afghanistan, on another hand there was not enough due diligence to protect the agents still in the field by redacting them, for which gross negligence at that level it is a high crime imo. There is also the issue that the guy is Australian, so a foreign country prosecuting a foreign national feels weird but if you are a powerful enough nation you would try to right the embarrassment suffered. At the same time he was a pawn for the Kremlin doing one sided propaganda for Russia. So nothing cut and dry, but it is clear that at the inception at least there was an impetus to do mroe good than bad. Whether that is the case only the State department will know
@@digjayd A tortured detaynee was only able to idenfity his abusers and clear his name because the leak was not redacted. If you edit 99% out, you engage in 1% journalism 2) Pawn of Kremlin lol just like Hunter Biden's latop and Steele Dosier? Dont trust everything CIA tells you 3) The court accepcted that they could not find a single case where an operative was killed or harmed, following release of the Afgan logs
'20,000 people turned up' - that's about right for a Championship (i.e. second tier) game in the English football league, and about a third of what you'd get at a Premiership game. My American friends, how does that compare to an NFL or World Series game? In any event, it didn't take 20,000 people to chant like that. How does the MAGA crowd not get bored stiff with Trump making the same speech over and over and over again? And how many of them actually understand even half of what he is saying?
Julian Assange can of course agree to the US deal, but that is a risk for Assange. - 1. Assange agrees to a court date in a US court, which would give the USA the opportunity to extradite Assange to the USA. Who knows whether they will do that? 2. If he admits this, Assange will end up being seen as a spy and a traitor, while the USA will not admit to the crimes Assange committed in this deal, including journalism, and the USA will therefore not take responsibility for its crimes. - The USA will get off lightly with this deal and Assange will end up looking like a fool, or at least that is the risk this deal poses. - Even if the USA sticks to its agreement, only Assange will admit to having carried out espionage in a US court without the USA having to admit that the crimes Assange reports on were committed by the USA. This is a dangerous deal for Assange, or at least it could still develop into one.
If you think that this deal makes him "free", you're naïve. He was free while he was on the run. His freedom was just truncated in exchange for some sort of reduced penalty. The government has only one move; leverage your safety in exchange for your freedom.
Such a shame he had to spend so much time hiding and in prison for his actions because no one was held accountable. Everything just brushed under the carpet as usual.
Exposing crimes should NEVER be a crime.

I guess you missed the part where he pleads guilty to reporting it so no they still don't have that right.
The problem is the court system is it all takes 'too long' or 'too much money'.. There the magic words to always drop cases, or give reduced sentences for otherwise criminal acts (not taking only journalism, but anything).
Its soo dumb..... What ever happened to "you do the crime, you do the time" ? Seems that always fails today. And the court reckon justice is served... pfft.. not the way they do things. Money rules everything, "This is costing too much in legal fees"
oh ok.. drop the case.. The only thing we are actually good on is solving crimes... Going back 40 years over "cold cases" to resume searching :P
The USA citizen that gave him access has been walking around free for years……the American courts had no choice
No.. huge respect to the Albanese government who have been fighting to get him released and have had bills passed through our parliament, and have constantly pressured the U.S. in recent years to let the charges go.
They did not do the right thing. They made him plead guilty to a crime he didn't commit so he wouldn't die in prison. The right thing would have been to drop the charges. He is now a felon.

Your orange oaf did nothing
It's Joe Biden that decided to free him. DERP.
Just release him for time served. Others have done worse and walking free.
Question: Did he lie about anything or held the mirror to the face of the US?
If he was a Russian who did what he did against Russia, the west would be celebrating him as a hero. Shame🙏
Absolutely!
If he did that to Russia he'd be dead, so at least we didn't do that
Exactly.
@@clarencethomas01 the US government would have killed him if they could.

Ah, the man that handed Trump the 2016 election. No sympathy for that guy whatsoever!
If you believe that you believe that the US is no longer a democracy.
After all, it's the media's job to suppress the truth and hide facts from the people so certain corrupt politicians can get more easily elected. Right? Listen to yourself ffs.
shame on the british for holding him in shit conditions. dont trust the english and their justice sytem, what a cruel country..
shame on him for hiding in a cupboard to avoid justice

God bless you, Julian Assange.
good move by the US and all round good news.
And what was his worst mistake? Oh, eh, exposing US war crimes.
It's not the secrets, it's the US that rather keeps a lid on their own wrongdoings around the world.
Last featured as an agent of Russian intel, working to elect Trump. Good riddance.
Let's give him a public pardon-thank you .

Let's petition to have him tried for treason.

@@kronos7110 Found the CIA bot.
This guy should be in prison for the rest of his life.
You're not really the brightest spoon in the cupboard, now are you?
So, I gather from this plea that he WAS guilty of espionage.
However, like Trump, it also shows that endless legal stonewalling of the US legal system can get results for the guilty.
No, he wasn’t guilty of espionage but of the 18 counts, he had to accept one of them if he wanted to go home and after 15 years…..he just wants to go home. What we did to this man is disgusting!
Correct. He was not guilty pf anything. He was guilty of journalism and the fact the US couldn't handle the secrets of its behaviour in Iraq and Afghanistan coming out. He never set foot in the US. He never stole the informatio. He just published it as a journalist.
@selecttravelvacations7472
Being a journalist reporting the news isn't espionage
'Stonewalling' in this case meant many years of incarceration in one place or another. Assange got away with nothing. He is likely to be subject to a 'time served' order, and that's how the law works. As for being guilty of 'espionage'; holding governments to account for concealing bad decisions is what democracy is about. And in any case, he is an Australian citizen; what right did the US have to expect that he or his country would bend over backwards to help them?
@@natepatrick5994 Indiscriminately releasing 18,000 secret documents to the advantage of authoritarian regimes is a little more than "journalism".
I hope Julian can soon go for a walk through a forest, sit near a camp fire and go for a swim before the world swamps him with there agendas. Bless Julian 🙏❤ = 🌱🌳🌺 thrive on.
It is conflicting. On one hand he did expose some shitty behavior by the US government in the wars in Iran and Afghanistan, on another hand there was not enough due diligence to protect the agents still in the field by redacting them, for which gross negligence at that level it is a high crime imo.
There is also the issue that the guy is Australian, so a foreign country prosecuting a foreign national feels weird but if you are a powerful enough nation you would try to right the embarrassment suffered. At the same time he was a pawn for the Kremlin doing one sided propaganda for Russia. So nothing cut and dry, but it is clear that at the inception at least there was an impetus to do mroe good than bad. Whether that is the case only the State department will know
Clueless.
If he got government agents killed then no one here has the right to defend him
Decent comment
No one received any harm….and the USA citizen that handed him the access has been walking free for years
@@digjayd A tortured detaynee was only able to idenfity his abusers and clear his name because the leak was not redacted. If you edit 99% out, you engage in 1% journalism
2) Pawn of Kremlin lol just like Hunter Biden's latop and Steele Dosier? Dont trust everything CIA tells you
3) The court accepcted that they could not find a single case where an operative was killed or harmed, following release of the Afgan logs
Congrats! I hope he continues his work when he gets home in Australia.
I want to know why WikiLeaks covered for Russia when exposing war crimes from the West only.

'20,000 people turned up' - that's about right for a Championship (i.e. second tier) game in the English football league, and about a third of what you'd get at a Premiership game. My American friends, how does that compare to an NFL or World Series game? In any event, it didn't take 20,000 people to chant like that. How does the MAGA crowd not get bored stiff with Trump making the same speech over and over and over again? And how many of them actually understand even half of what he is saying?

Ohp. found the idiot thread.
Julian Assange can of course agree to the US deal, but that is a risk for Assange.
-
1. Assange agrees to a court date in a US court, which would give the USA the opportunity to extradite Assange to the USA. Who knows whether they will do that?
2. If he admits this, Assange will end up being seen as a spy and a traitor, while the USA will not admit to the crimes Assange committed in this deal, including journalism, and the USA will therefore not take responsibility for its crimes.
-
The USA will get off lightly with this deal and Assange will end up looking like a fool, or at least that is the risk this deal poses.
-
Even if the USA sticks to its agreement, only Assange will admit to having carried out espionage in a US court without the USA having to admit that the crimes Assange reports on were committed by the USA. This is a dangerous deal for Assange, or at least it could still develop into one.
CNN has no idea what to say about actual journalists like Assange
Assange isn't a journalist
Same for you.
@@BlackTarH Yes yes you answer exactly like a BIueAnon would. Good job.
@@BlackTarH yes he is ,he's won multiple awards for publishing and journalism
If you think that this deal makes him "free", you're naïve. He was free while he was on the run. His freedom was just truncated in exchange for some sort of reduced penalty. The government has only one move; leverage your safety in exchange for your freedom.
He might have plead guilty but we all know he's not guilty! Wishing julian assage much happiness in a blessed reunion with his family.
Biden should pardon Leonard Peltier!!
He didn't PARDON Assange -- he made him plead guilty to being a traitor and he will be a felon.
