It also happens to be a president who spearheaded that great adventure in nation-building which continues to serve as a catalyst for a broad swath of the epic plauge human rights abuses we're presently, and systematicaly, engaged in:

I like the term that spooks use for people holed up in a situation like Assange finds himself in right now: "Treed." Not dead or in solitary confinement. But constraint to very narrow resources and living circumstances, indeed.

Thanks. It's extremely difficult not to come off sounding desperate when in fact my situation could hardly be worse at the moment (short of being physically evicted from my apartment, or in jail). But if the situation does not improve

Why it's very simple, my friend: (1) Just file a request with FEMA, DHS, or the FBI. (2) Presto! Doing so will mark you as suspicious, and subject to surveillance, questioning, and/or internment during times of national crisis.
