It's a travesty that this ever happened, but a great day for those of us who fight censorship. Great news and I'm glad to hear about it on this great channel, first!
Respect on another level entirely, for this Courageous man and also his family and supporters. The time taken in which to release him was a real crime of sorts in itself.
Now we need to help Julian stay safe from the evil mass murderers Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama who have always been behind all these attacks. They are vindictive and ugly and they still want to kill him.
Wikileaks was pro-Trump, pro-Republican, Putin, supported it, It hurt democrats, and hurt the US government's relationship with allies. It wasn't fair or righteous. It wasn't well-curated. It was reckless and harmful. I think Assange should have exposed corruption in an unbiased journalistic way and then he would have been more legitimate. The way he did it suggested an irresponsible harmful character with an axe to grind. More like an Alex Jones, who had access to facts, than a legitimate whisteblower. I don't think what he did helped America, helped democracy, helped the west in general. I think he should have focused his exposee's on dictators and autocrats. Wikileaks put what was literally internal politics about whether the democratic party would embrace independent Bernie Sanders on the level of human rights violations and genocide. It was a false equivacation. I think we can say democracy good/autocracy bad, no matter what. And that is not what wikileaks focused on. It was destructive.
None of this has anything to do with his indictment, or why he's been detained for 12 years, which was due to documents released in 2010 exposing govt corruption and war crimes. What do you think about the fact that a journalists has been in a maximum security prison for years, accused of activities journalists routinely undertake every day as part of their job? Don't you think that this sets a bad precedent for how we treat freedom of the press, a sacred foundation of a free society?
An answer to many prayers!
I am so happy for him, his wife, his children.
