More on the story I posted earlier about Prime Minister Harper's former adviser, Tom Flanagan, Julian Assange says he should be charged with incitement to commit murder, I agree with Assange.

From the article:

Quote:
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says Tom Flanagan — a former senior adviser to the prime minister — should be charged with incitement to commit murder for calling for Assange's assassination.

Assange was asked during a live Q&A Friday on the website of the Guardian newspaper about Flanagan's comments earlier this week.

"It is correct that Mr. Flanagan and the others seriously making these statements should be charged with incitement to commit murder," Assange replied.

So the *** hypocrite can start by outing his own government and show the world they torture poeple over there and accept rendition flights into their country for prisoners to be tortured for information. Do you think he wants to be fair or just get the world pissed at America? His agenda is clear and now with Soros' pro bono laywer representing the private who gave out the docs, something smells very fishy and I garuntee you that you can trace this all the way back to someone or party in our own government releasing these docs and helping Assange. Don't doubt it for a second. It's part of the Bottom-up, inside-out Communist tactic.
You're just ignorant of the facts.

He doesn't care what country it is.

If it involves government wrongdoing...He'll post it.

He's done to Australia, Iceland, EU countries.

The citizens of those countries welcome what he has done. Iceland responded by increasing the laws that make what he does safe to do.

Right wing lemmings in the USA are a special breed.

They want they government to increase it's secrecy even after we know about the lying, and law breaking.

Things are going to get so so bad here in the USA because only a minority of citizens are wise enough to know how this corporatism is just taking over in waves.

It's sad.

Most of the people that are fed up with what is going on in the USA are actually ignorantly targeting the only institutions that can help them..... Government, civil liberty groups, transparency advocates.

Default Wikileaks Assange - modern day Robin Hood

I love this guy. He's showing the corruptness of the whole game.

The Great USA's bribery, extortion, and threat arms in the Dept. of State, selling their soul's for raw materials, war mongering and elitist status.

This guy should get the Nobel peace price.

I've been reading the exhanges between the Arab's in Dubai, Saudi, and UAE and they are so sold out to greed and power it is discusting.

They keep their people blinded by religion, and all the while rape and pillage the earth for more and more and more.


Anyone considering serving in the US military should understand that they are working for criminal elistist pigs, that could give a rats ass about God, Country and Freedom. Unless it's makes them richer and more powerful.

If you have the time, read and learn how your country uses us to make a few at the top of the greed chain more powerful.

Goldman Sucks is the king of corruption and anyone with investments in them will have to answer for their crimes.
They infiltrated our gov't and diplomatic offices to promote their voracious appetite for little asian girls, endless amounts of your retirement dollars and power over the world banks and industries.

Insider trading doesn't begin to touch how corrupt the US gov't and Goldman Sucks has become. They have more blood on their hands than Stalin, or Mao

Wrong metaphor.

Perhaps you mean he's like "Deep Throat" - the source for Woodward and Bernstein.

Ha! He's nothing more than a common criminal. He traffics in stolen secret material for personal gain, then hides behind 'noble' words. Those that lap it up only encourage this fool.

If he's so noble, why does he hide?

Because that's what thieves and cockroaches do.

He brags he'll do it to Russia. I wonder how a US Army private got that data?

It's pretty clear he is using contacts in other countries. The notion that nice patriotic do-gooders in all the countries he's done this to are giving him state secrets is ludicrous.

When he gets to countries that won't tolerate his noble cause, he'll soon be dispatched.

You don't think he has an agenda? He's being funded by someone. He seems to be following the model plan of another person that likes to 'take' down governments and societies.

What would you say if WaterGate happened today ?
What charges would you want brought up against those 2 journalists for exposing illegal activity by the President of the US ?

Assange is doing today what Woodward and Bernstein did in the 70's.
Assange didn't steal that info nor did he break into government computers. He didn't need to..our government can't keep their dirty laundry locked up..yet again.

And if it proves true that Hillary ordered DNA samples, passwords, etc from UN people then she did indeed break the law.

I have to figure Assange must have some pretty good dirt on them since they are going after him this time with a vengence..more so than they did for the other 2 leaks..Afghanistan and Iraq.

Wow. Cockroaches, now? The Cockroaches are in Washington DC stealing your tax dollars.

He does not hide, and freely gives interviews. He's got a big pair unlike some folks that post random rants on the Internet.

Who did he 'steal' from? The goverrnment? Good on him. Keep them running around like headless chickens, Assange
