The US's seemingly intractable determination to extradite and prosecute #Assange despite intense global protest against it, suggests there is an undisclosed purpose in the actions not wholly explained by the espionage accusations. What might that be?

#Assange is considered a bigger threat to authority than privileged journalists (and lawyers), correctly so. As Assange has stated. Which is why support for him is formulaic rather than courageously duplicative. Note recent withholdings of the Discord Leak docs, and Snowden's.

No mention of Julian #Assange at the #WHCD speaks volumes abt US hypocrisy when it comes to #FreePress. Ditto regarding our footsie w/ Saudi Arabia. twitter.com/BradBeauregard…
Kudos to you. Even so few journalists and no publishers go to jail while many leakers do. "Journalism is not a crime," sounds venal when sources pay the price.

I've NEVER ever censored any document,quite the opposite I've always pushed my newspaper to publish,when they didn't want anymore,I resigned from my newspaper,my income collapsed from 40,000 (gross/year) to 3,000/year,and found myself with NO legal assistance in the UCGlobal case
Correct, that is why for and against are intended to arouse without resolution, except for the sponsors who win every time. Aka media, advertising, publicity, SM, justice, governments.

In the end, it reminded me why I don’t do debates. More importantly, it’s important for all to understand that some media isn’t interested in educating the discourse & helping people understand the truth. They’re more interested in the spectacle. A lot of debate is manufactured.

Would it not be more brutally candid to say "suffer, rot, go mad, suicide, die in prison" rather than the theatrical "175 years?"

Generous tax reductions on real estate are driving the market. But could be due to equity sharks buying up humongous empties, mostly rentals to shatter those safe refuges.

A real estate expert friend was telling me why home-buying has been rebounding despite many interest rate hikes. A lot of buying is driven by those who can take advantage of better prices, without needing to borrow.
Aka the wealthy.

Withholding and redacting leaked documents is a means to control the leaker and publisher, as well as conspiring with the leaker's source. Leaking is a gangster game suffused with betrayal, suspicion, pretentiousness, lethality. Profitable for those at the control center.

This was always the MO of journalism, although no so different from that of law. The two often work in concert, not only on SM.

Not the case with Maurizi though.
Reducing #Assange's defense to the low level of journalism insults his courage and example to provide public information without corrupting official approbation. Study his bold statements and actions on this not those of his timid protestors and idolizers.
