Sadly, if Assange does end up free the safest place for him will be somewhere like Russia, which will only further intensify the propaganda against him.

- pmarreck 5y agoI'd love to see how he survives amidst the merchants of mistruth over there https://www.wsj.com/articles/russian-disinformation-campaign-aims-to-undermine-confidence-in-pfizer-other-covid-19-vaccines-u-s-officials-say-11615129200 https://www.wsj.com/articles/russian-disinformation-campaign...
- guiriduro 5y agoPot calling the kettle black doesn't make the pot less so, and is more than a little ironic.
- pmarreck 5y agoUh, how's that, exactly? (I mean, Assange DID basically get Trump elected based on his personal beef with the Clintons... sigh)
- boomboomsubban 5y agoThough I think you're also unfairly blaming Assange for the Democrat's own failures, Assange's "personal beef" was not wanting someone who suggested he be drone striked to become president. I would also favor the person who hasn't called for my death.
- the_only_law 5y agoAgreed. See: Snowden
- boomboomsubban 5y agoThe difference there is that Snowden ended up in Russia unintentionally. There's a decent change he'd also be in custody now if he had made it to Ecuador though.
- GordonS 5y agoTrue, but it the resulting negative connotations are still in the minds of most of the population.
- kspacewalk2 5y ago>only further intensify the propaganda against him. There does not need to be propaganda against him. His collaboration with Russian intelligence seems fairly self evident and speaks for itself.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoThings like the collaboration is "self evident" or "speak for itself" are typical of propaganda. They basically say "we can't actually provide hard evidence of these claims, but we can point out enough odd things to make you assume our claim is correct."
