I've investigated the evidence quite carefully. The article I linked to refers to some very damning evidence for one case. The Mueller investigation found solid evidence of WL forwarding DNC docs collected by Russian intelligence, and

No matter how many of Assange's lies I enumerate, his fans just brush them off since they don't want to see the truth about Assange - he's simpler when he's a good guy rather than an abusive narcissist. But google '

I really do not like Julian Assange as a person, I do not admire his work. He's a fraud, a con-man, and might also be a criminal. But a critical measure of a society is how equal justice is for all, even those hated by society. Toleran

TBH, if you gave me the list "dark," "shot," and "sun" I'm not sure I'd ever think of "glasses" as a word that went with all three, since I still don't really know what dark glasses are

It's one thing to watch experts you don't know excel at things. It's a very different thing to get the notion that your peers/friends on social media have everything worked out while you're struggling due to their s

My takeaway from the Telegraph opinion piece is a bit different, and the opinion writer's conclusions don't follow from the premises, but if you'd like to believe it, feel free.

Tabloids and opinion pieces in deeply partisan papers are what they are, but they aren't at all reliable for establishing truth. Sadly, many Pythons got old, lost their edge, and wound up wealthy entitled out-of-touch conservative old

There are plural accounts, but there is only a single documented case historians have evidence for of the British at Fort Pitt deliberately using infected items from their infirmary.

There is a lot of painting with incredibly broad brushes in this article. Even making a generalization about the life sciences is such an over broad scope that it's ridiculous. Most life sciences people I know are different sorts of ma

While there are qualifiers for things like mental illness, the system assumes free will by default making rare exceptions for responsibility for people in some states of mind. Whatever that is, it's not determinism.

The fact that we use intuition in choice and not some formal rational system seems orthogonal to whether we're making choices or only experience an illusion of choice. Legally determinism is rejected out of hand, interpersonally we ass

You really think you didn't choose to engage in and persist in that exercise? You don't think you had any choice in considering the arguments and whether to accept/reject them? I honestly understand why determinism sounds lik

There are no known extradition orders from the Obama DoJ, and the feds have claimed they didn't want to bother with him in the Holder era. To believe he would be extradited to the US requires Assange's claimed extradition threat t

The only indictment that there is evidence for is from 2017 under the Trump DoJ, 5 years after he fled justice to the embassy. Assange made up a story about a fictional sealed indictment when he fled justice. He just did such a poor job fle

The report assumes a priori that an extradition threat was real, now we see Trump's DOJ did eventually file one, but he was hiding in the Embassy for years on a false pretext of an imaginary extradition to avoid facing rape charges. Th

"Sweden is a US ally and was just going to turn around and extradite him to the USA" Sweden's actual extradition agreement is much more limited than Assange claimed. The UK's is much friendlier to the UK, so if he was ho

There is no evidence of an extradition order from the US at the point when Assange first claimed it, and the extradition now is based on Assange being very directly involved with and directing hacks on targets, which is a valid legal justif

Appealing to authority is a lot less persuasive when it's a non-binding report from a minor working group. I read their account. It was poorly argued and inconsistent. Should we really accept a case that's made because of the auth

He fled justice to hide in an embassy. He was fully free to leave, and should have faced justice from the start. Fugitives from justice do not enjoy pleasant conditions - that's not a strike against liberty, but a necessary condition o

His treatment in Sweden if he'd complied rather than fleeing justice in the UK would likely have been far better. His dissembling about extradition and all of his actions suggest he was guilty of the rapes and hiding from justice.

He could have just faced the charges in Sweden. He'd be out by now if he was found guilty. His behavior and streams of lies about extradition, etc. suggest the whole episode was a guilty man hiding and foolishly digging in. His best op
