Assange to face extradition

Staff at the Ecuadorian embassy are standing by to repel boarders

He was hiding from extradition to sweden not the US though. That's sweden who he went to to establish his operations because they wouldn't extradite him to the US.

Exactly. Well worth reiterating.

Get used to it, Braindead. This is going to run-on for a while.

I’m sure you are rubbing your micro-stub with anticipation

Slight tangent but is there any analysis about 1) those with diagnosable/diagnosed psychiatric/developmental disabilities within either the anti-imperialist left or the third position movements (or both) 2) individuals within the anti-imperialist/3P scene crying ‘mental health’ when they’ve been caught or suspected of wrong doing

I've noticed you do this weird associating-punishment-with-sex thing quite a lot. Are you the headmaster of a boys school, by any chance?

Doubtless the vice headmaster

It sounds like you might have one, do you want to share it with the class?

Can't say I've paid much attention to this guy, but what is it about him that makes him so hated round here?

I mean, there's this for a start:
The rape allegation against Julian Assange, explained
And then also his shitty politics:
Julian Assange - Also neoliberal utopian

Julian Assange’s Hatred of Hillary Clinton Was No Secret. His Advice to Donald Trump Was.

Regarding my banishment from the Courage Foundation at the behest of Julian Assange
Julian Assange Went After a Former Ally. It Backfired Epically.

Sure there's more I could dig up with a bit more effort but that's enough for a starter.

Actually, that Barrett Brown statement (from a guy who actually spent 2012-2016 in prison on charges directly related to wikileaks/journo-related activity, with like a tiny tiny proportion of the publicity and support Assange has received) is good and short enough to be worth quoting in full:

Since getting out of prison in late 2016, I have been increasingly vocal about my growing distaste for Wikileaks in general and Julian Assange in particular, largely due to his close and ongoing involvement with fascist entities, his outright lies about his role in the last U.S. election, and his willingness to have others tell similar lies on his behalf. I have also continued to support his rights against the state and private organizations that have pursued him from the very beginning, when his original mission of ethical transparency was still in play.

Given that the original FBI investigation into me stemmed directly from my involvement in defending Wikileaks from firms like HBGary, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Palantir, as made clear by the FBI’s own search warrant that may be found at Buzzfeed; and given that the charges I ultimately plead to were directly related to my efforts to ensure that the Stratfor leak was handled properly; and given that Assange himself refrained from even mentioning my name in public until it became a clear that I was to become a cause celebre; and given that the entirety of the legal defense fund that actually kept me from going away for decades was handled by the FreeBB organization, not Wikileaks or anyone associated with it; and given that Courage, though a fine organization staffed by extraordinary people, has provided me with something along the lines of $3500 out of the total $14,000 that has been donated for my benefit since FreeBB was incorporated into that organization; and given that I voluntarily allowed the rest to go into a pool for other beneficiaries that would seem to include Assange himself; and given that Assange and close associates have nonetheless chosen to publicly imply that I am somehow indebted to Assange for having made me a beneficiary after I’d already been sentenced; and given how much I’ve learned since my release about the degree of dishonesty and outright fabrication that Assange has engaged in along with those associates, much of which is already public record; and given that Assange himself has repeatedly reached out through intermediaries to “explain” himself to me but has in each case failed to actually do so — given all of this, I’m afraid I cannot agree with the stance, presented by the Courage board to me yesterday via a poorly-written e-mail, that I am somehow obligated to not only defend Assange’s rights — which I’m happy to do - but also to refrain from speaking out about the problems facing a movement that I risked a hundred years of prison time in order to defend.

To no one's great surprise, application for bail denied.

perhaps australia might yet appoint assange ambassador to the united states, they'd not have to fork out for his accommodation or security (see suggestion in the hatred of hillary clinton article)

Depends if the us accepts it though as both countries have to agree. Equador tried that one on with the uk.

i'm just asking what you think of assange and his potential extradition. you clearly have some view on the matter, what is it?

what I think - reading the headline the extradition is already going ahead, unless a higher court in the land can halt the process.
I think Assange should have relocated to Russia like Snowden. Whereas now I fear Assange will die in a US jail for telling the unspeakable truth that war gets innocent people killed.

on second thoughts stick to posting other people's stuff as your own views are so vacuous and vapid they really shouldn't be shared
