Julian Assange has offered humanity a lot more than what humanity can offer him at anytime. I wonder why the hell would someone get jailed for revealing the truth.

So very true and so to the point. He did not only get jailed. He got put in a solitary cell in a high security jail.. And mentally tortured. And almost nobody cares..

  No one cares because there was maliciously fake news about how he's a bad house guest and didn't scoop his cat's poop and two women in Sweden wanted to contact him to tell him to take an STD test and then the police took it upon themselves to want to question him (not even charge him) about sexual assault. Assange is going to get Epstein'd

    i know you 're joking but to be clear (and because apparently there are a lot of misconceptions abotu the cases) he hasn't been charged with anything like rape and the allegations are about nonconsensual removal or condom, outlined in detail here: https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/4/12/18306901/julian-assange-arrest-wikileaks-rape-sweden-embassy https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/4/12/18306901/julian-ass...

      I used "sexual assault" because that's the term he's likely be alleged of doing in the US, whereas in Sweden the official term is "rape" for all/most sexual assault cases. Or so I've heard. Sexual assault I think is an appropriate term here, though I think the allegations are pretty thin, contradictory, and suspicious. Swedish officials didn't seem to care much or at all about making progress on this, since they refused to question/interview Assange remotely despite him claiming asylum. They seemed to care more about getting him in custody - a fear that's since been justified by England trying to extradite him.

        actually it seems in both cases they consented to sex, despite disagreeing about the condom
