• I mean, sure, that’s great news in a bubble. But the guy spent a good deal of his adult life running like a dog for committing no crime (in his country), this whole ordeal was a warning against further whistleblowers.

      Adam Ellis isn’t a Nazi, at most as far as I know he’s probably a lib, but even then not a ghoul about it (for instance he unequivocally supports Palestine)

      It’s some bullshit, the Five Eyes governments definitely got the global journalistic/speech suppression they wanted out of it, and Biden can have this off his back before election day, as if I’m going to forgive him (or Trump or Obama) for it now.

    I am so glad that Assange is free, but it still makes my blood boil how AmeriKKKa, a country that calls itself a DemoKKKraSSy, can literally get citizens from different countries extradited for so called “crimes” not done in AmeriKKKa whilst not being a citizen of it. Death to AmeriKKKa and the firSSt “world” amerikkkainternational-community-1international-community-2!qin-shi-huangdi-fireball

      The fact that he flew with the Ambassador to the US(and former Prime Minister) and the UK High Commissioner as human shields is interesting. I’m optimistic the Australian government is actually committed to making sure he lives.
