assange

His association with Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, particularly his release of purported national security to foreign persons and media.

It is really sad that a clown like Assange is considered a hero around here.

For example signing up in some http wikileak page using fake julian assange's credential.

We welcomed Jean-Claude (baby doc) Duvalier and ayatollah Khomeini, but I guess Assange and Snowden will not receive asylum.

If Assange really did knowingly introduce a holocaust-denying agent of Belarus to Wikileaks?

Personally I don't agree with their tack, but that is what I gather is their tack from their, assange's, statements.

Can prevent some problems (think about Julian Assange for example).

I see two simple reasons for the lack of Russian coverage at Wikileaks: either Russians aren't providing material, or Assange isn't publishing it.

Didn't Assange have a show on Russian state-sponsored TV?

I think assange admitted as much along the lines they have a target for the largest agent of badness, as they saw it.

Wikileaks has done some good work, but I just don't buy that the accusations Assange faces in Sweden are part of some sort of global conspiracy.

There isn't any reasonable evidence to suggest that Assange knew about his background, or had any reason to believe he would give documents to Belarus, if that did indeed happen.

Assange didn't merely appear on RT, he hosted a weekly show on RT entitled "The World Tomorrow with Julian Assange" which featured a who's-who of US critics.

At some point, this "Ball had reason to make things up" stuff has to amount to us taking Assange's word for it.

If you think that the EU's "Right to Be Forgotten" legislation is a good thing, or that Assange and Snowden are bad guys, you probably won't like what we're doing.

In fact, the second one appears to stipulate that Shamir got access to cables relevant to Belarus from Wikileaks, subject to an "NDA" with WL (rebutting that site's earlier suggestion that Shamir got the cables through a third-party that WL had provided them to); it then proceeds for pages and pages to discuss the question of how close Shamir was to Wikileaks and Assange in particular.

On CNN a few days back: French minister: It's possible asylum will be offered to Snowden, Assange.

Assange was denied asylum in France, continues living in the Ecuador embassy in the UK.

Because RT airs voices critical of the US, there is nothing special about Assange.
