Agreed, but I can ignore context to support a victory for Assange.

Makes sense. The EU nothing but a lapdog and criminal loudmouth partnered with Uncle Schlumel , and has no political or social justice integrity to speak about!!

I was just a lazy copy and paster.

I wouldnt have found it without you :-)

I am away from Europe for too long, living in the US now. I find this quite a remarkable document. Unthinkable in the US. Even the free speech fundamentalists here mostly pretend that Assange doesnt exist. The only notable exceptions I know of are Greenwald and Hedges.

Yep, he's no longer useful as a tool of fear, so he's not the headline.

I may as well be a lazy copier again, and post the decision too. Maybe I reach a second person in our 7 billion world.

Just looked on your old FB page and found "Liberalism and communism are dead except as flags waving for no one and politicians" ... this is sth I am thinking a lot about ... and just happened to watched Lord of the Rings (Two Towers) ... what is ahead of us?

Gosh, I haven't seen my page in years, and appreciate that quote as if someone else wrote it. That FB shouldn't exist and I cannot get it removed - fuck Zuckerberg. Groups are not supposed to exist without a personal profile, and I deleted my personal page.

Do you mind if I read it anyway? Happy not to if you want it deleted ...

Thank you for this update. Appreciate the sentiment. I’m sure the U.S. will get right on that just as soon as Israel is done investigating its war crimes.

Mike Hampton's avatar

Exact sarcasm. I see it the same way I see the Israeli situation, in that its another piercing of the American propaganda veil.

Ohh Yes, the US is going to investigate, in the same manner they are still investigating the attrocities committed by US troops in Afghanistan twenty years ago.

IS or WAS?

It may be necessary for legal distinction, but I would argue that he’s not where he wanted to be, and must feel restricted in his future activities.
