I doubt you would though as you need both a spine and the courage to do what you think is right rather than just be one of the sheeple..

Oh please dont make me laugh xD

Just one excerpt from the below article.... yea gotta do whats "right" though eh.

"A Taliban spokesman in Afghanistan using the pseudonym Zabiullah Mujahid said in a telephone interview that the Taliban had formed a nine-member “commission” after the Afghan documents were posted “to find about people who are spying.” He said the Taliban had a “wanted” list of 1,800 Afghans and was comparing that with names WikiLeaks provided.

“After the process is completed, our Taliban court will decide about such people,” he said.

"A Taliban spokesman in Afghanistan using the pseudonym Zabiullah Mujahid

Yet another story in the MSM with a "source", in this case using a 'pseudonym', which is the same as unnamed - so put it in the bin with all the others. I will only take a story with actual named sources, and no pseudonyms don't count, which are verifiable by other means. The MSM are peddling a lot of misinformation and down right lies, just because it's the NYT doesn't mean it can use the 'unnamed sources' line if their 'journalism' is to be taken seriously again because, in my eyes, they have burned all of their credibility(not that it was much in the first place) over the last 3 or so years.

Don't be fooled by these tactics.

Your minds made up already though isn't it, if the article was in assanges favour you would be all over it.

Another piece on him from Christopher Hitchens sums him up....

"All you need to know about Assange is contained in the profile of him by the great John F. Burns and in his shockingly thuggish response to it. As I wrote before, when he says that his aim is “to end two wars,” one knows at once what he means by the “ending.” In his fantasies he is probably some kind of guerrilla warrior, but in the real world he is a middle man and peddler who resents the civilization that nurtured him. This Monday, in two separate news reports, the New York Times described his little cabal as an “anti-secrecy” and “whistle-blowing” outfit. Such mush-headed approval at least can be withheld from the delightful Julian, even as we all help ourselves to his mart of ill-gotten goods"

Great news for lovers of justice!

The Justice Department announced on Wednesday that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been charged in a superseding indictment for recruiting and conspiring with computer hackers, including those affiliated with the hacking groups LulzSec and "Anonymous."

Why it matters: The new indictment does not add new counts to the 18-count indictment filed against Assange under the Espionage Act last year, but it does "broaden the scope of the conspiracy surrounding alleged computer intrusions with which Assange was previously charged," according to DOJ.

Fox News invokes Hague Convention to request testimony by Julian Assange in the case brought by the family of Seth Rich. Order signed by U.S. judge today. Fox News agrees to bear costs.

Assange's testimony is made specifically by U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah J. Netburn in the Southern District of New York. Response requested by September 1, 2020.
Well thats pretty disrespectful to his meomory and his parents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Seth_Rich
The murder of Seth Rich occurred on Sunday, July 10, 2016, at 4:20 a.m. in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Rich died more than an hour and a half after receiving two gunshot wounds to the back. He was murdered by unknown perpetrators for unknown reasons, but police suspected he had been the victim of an attempted robbery.

The 27-year-old Rich was an employee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and his murder spawned several right-wing conspiracy theories, including the false claim that Rich had been involved with the leaked DNC emails in 2016, contradicted by the law enforcement branches that investigated the murder. It was also contradicted by the July 2018 indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence agents for hacking the e-mail accounts and networks of Democratic Party officials and by the U.S. intelligence community's conclusion the leaked DNC emails were part of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[5][6][8] Fact-checking websites like PolitiFact, Snopes, and FactCheck.org stated that the theories were false and unfounded. The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post wrote that the promotion of these conspiracy theories was an example of fake news.

Rich's parents condemned the conspiracy theorists and said that those individuals were exploiting their son's death for political gain, and their spokesperson called the conspiracy theorists "disgusting sociopaths". They requested a retraction and apology from Fox News after the network promoted the conspiracy theory, and sent a cease and desist letter to the investigator Fox News used. The investigator stated that he had no evidence to back up the claims which Fox News attributed to him. Fox News issued a retraction, but did not apologize or publicly explain what went wrong. In response, the Rich family sued Fox News in March 2018 for having engaged in "extreme and outrageous conduct" by fabricating the story defaming their son and thereby intentionally inflicting emotional distress on them. The judge initially dismissed the suit in August 2018, but the court of appeals later allowed the case to proceed.

The only case the family of Rich brought forward was against Fox news spreading lies. How are you implying Fox news is supporting the family?

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...eth-rich-can-sue-fox-news-court-idUSKCN1VY1YD
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Friday revived a lawsuit against Fox News Network over its reporting on Seth Rich, a former Democratic National Committee employee whose unsolved murder sparked uncorroborated right-wing conspiracy theories.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said Rich’s parents, Joel and Mary Rich, could sue Fox News for causing emotional distress by publishing a May 16, 2017, article claiming their son had leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks, implying that the leaks were related to his death.

Fox News, a unit of Fox Corp, retracted the article a week later, saying it fell short of its standards, but some leading conservatives and on-air guests discussed it for months.

Sure, keep flogging the dead horse Seth Rich rode in on. That sounds constructive.

Just goes to show how desperate Republicans are to stop Biden.

:D :D :D

Apparently it's not too difficult to sell London bridges nowadays, especially those that don't actually get built.

As long as someone is selling hope, someone will buy it.

Court hearing tomorrow, I'm pretty sure anyway unless something changed?

Has anybody been keeping up, what will this determine, will this determine his fate or will there be subsequent hearings.

Still undecided whether he should go to the US but that's to be determined.

Wrong.

It's called emails and as such can be taken as evidence if anyone wanted to.

"Hearsay is a statement, other than one made by the declarant while testifying at the trial or hearing, offered in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted"

For someone who has a very limited understanding of English, I'd give up now if I were you before you really embarrass yourself
