Well, Ruptly appears to be the the original source for the video. Don't see anything wrong there.
Okay, Greenwald now is an asshole too? Why?
The arrest of Assange is based on the conspiracy allegations and Snowden cannot go anywhere else.
Can you please stop spamming posts which present allegations as facts?
Because their extraditing him for leaking American war crimes, not for his poorly-redacted info 'accidentally' revealing the info of opposition voters throughout Turkey or for his rape charges in Sweden. It sets an absolutely terrible precedent, as it would de facto allow the US and NatSec ghouls to charge foreign whistleblowers for exposing their heinous shit.
How do you come to that conclusion? I'm just not fine with throwing whatever at people I don't like, damn the cost and long-term implications. Assange isn't worth it. But I guess someone supporting capital punishment, the epitome of all vengeance under the guise of justice, won't understand that.
I sincerely apologize for not being up to date on this subject. I wasn't being positive about him, I simply asked why people turned on him because I thought he was a considered a guy until this thread
I wouldn't say it makes all the problematic implications disappear - there are still plenty of lawyers and journalists in my twitter feed expressing some concern - but it's definitely a lot less problematic.
I already answered them, I don't know what more there is to say. Just to repeat: I'm fine with Assange being charged with a lot of things he has done including rape, just not with what he is currently being charged with. But I've already said that a dozen times or so.
Do they know? It was sort of a buried lead. Like I can see people getting concerned that publishers are arrested, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Without the full story they are useless. It's like if 2 people got in a fight and you leak the fact that one guy threw a punch but you leave out the part it was in self defense because the other guy started it. All you are doing is furthering a particular political agenda which is the absolute opposite of what a whistle blower should be.
That, however, is true and I rather see him put on trial for that. I don't see it happening though.
He can be whatever, if the story is real doesn't invalidate the act.
No, you can perfectly understand a massacre by the us army or a hacking to foreing countries.
That the leaks were true doesn't mean they weren't stolen. IF these charges he's facing are true, he's guilty of illegally aquiring the information in the first place.
I'm saying if you withhold leaking information you are painting a political story and that is unethical at best.
