Wikileaks boss blackmails world

[grayston]

I love how this "insurance" file was made available MONTHS ago (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11026659) and suddenly it's being described as an attempt to blackmail every single human being on planet earth.

You gotta love spin!

 

[Fudzy]

Yeah alan & garyvdh must be having absolute frothies over this 'highly reliable' news source.

 

[VioAdmin]

Exellent move by Assange, this is his ace card. Id' have done the same, and then some extra. Let's see how this movie ends.

 

[Tachyon]

Even if is innocent... I'd rather become a martyr than jeopardise anyone else's safety.

haha.. don't think you got the guts mate.

 

[Vis1/0N]

Sensationalism or fake - ... like when Michael Jackson died and there were emails going out alleging the kid he molested (I mean the one he settled the lawsuit with) had changed his story.

Anyway I think Julian has more aces to play that to bargin this way.

 

[mo_mia]

Surely if the case is a laughable charge, then it would be the easiest thing in the world to prove his innocence.

I told you guys all along that this guy was a nutjob. Only a seriously deranged individual would consider putting other innocent people's lives at risk.

Even if is innocent... I'd rather become a martyr than jeopardise anyone else's safety.

This is just wrong.

Or maybe you're just uninformed?

He probably isn't innocent of the charge. He probably isn't a rapist either.

Go look up what the charge actually entails.

If someone powerful wanted to bring him down wont they easily kill him and blame armed robbery or some poison rather than going through the courts and keeping him alive.

And that's where all the conspiracy theories start...

 

[BobsLawnService]

If the US.gov knowingly assassinated civilians he would be dead in a burglary or mugging but inspite of all the conspiracy theories they don't so he's not.

 

[LazyLion]

Yeah alan & garyvdh must be having absolute frothies over this 'highly reliable' news source.

No, but we are having absolute frothies over all of AssAngel's Fairy Godchildren falling all over themselves to defend their hero!

 

[LazyLion]

haha.. don't think you got the guts mate.

You don't know me any better than you know mr. AssAngel. But I forgive you for your presumption.

 

[EtienneK]

Can someone just tell me why the rape charges were dropped and then suddenly the case was reopened again when the leaks came out?

How can any of you not see that something fishy is going on?

 

[noxibox]

That's if they can find him. And by civilian do you mean a random person or someone they consider an enemy? Have they not assassinated the latter before?

there is definitely something fishy going on... its like in the movies, this dude is being framed because he has got information that the US and other countries don't want to be made public... and now the media are being manipulated by the governments to inform the public falsely... can't believe that people don't see this * facepalm* i say he should let everything out, uncensored and then we see what happens... i think it will be quite exciting stuff if only all of the SA government's lies and corruption and secrets could come out

 

[undesign]

The man is Australian. Nuff said.

It is fascinating what you can do to an individual without "offing" him. From ISP squeezing to making funding difficult to closing bank accounts. The charges...well...is smell fishy...then again this guy seems like a megalomaniac with a bit of martyr complex thrown in. Who knows how that relates to his personal life?

 

[Jabberwocky]

Really good publicity stunt.... taking the man head on like that.

I was a supporter of Assange and his actions, but after this and the releasing of crucial US security assets, I now understand why the US says he is a terrorist.

as i've said before :

look people try to follow, right

who is the man behind the leaks ?
what is his agenda ?
why is he really leaking ?

now those 3 questions doesn't say he is satan and there shalt not be leaks, but it is just questioning his motive and reason.

ok ? try to for the moment move to the side that leaks are good (which i think it is) and to look into the man himself.

seems Garyvdh was not such an idiot after all

 

[Fudzy]

Who does Assange work with? Surely someone else will take his place when he goes down a martyr?

[Palimino]

What other choice does he have?? He's being hunted by some of the most powerful entities in the world. He needs some form of protection.

And if you're going to threaten, do it propperly. Otherwise no one will believe you.

Exactly! His private life and his professional life are intertwined, thanks to the frame-up charges brought by an hysterical US. Any fallout from an unedited release of WikiLeak’s files can be laid **directly** at the door of the US because of their attempts at trumped-up charges.

Maddmatt

Maybe the site should be handed over to a new owner that isn't a sex criminal, someone with integrity.

Until they get trumped-up criminal charges laid against them. It won’t stop.

papooze

When you go against authority, be prepared for the consequences.

Sure. The US has played its gambit, pulled-in favours and exerted influence. Now it’s his move.

BobsLawnService

If he is innocent he should go to court and prove it. Running and blackmail just confirms his guilt.

Get a grip! Are you American?

HumanoidTyphoon

This feels an awful lot like an orchestrated "Why we need internet censorship" lesson, and I don't like it one bit.

You may have a point. First the crime scare tactic. Then the child pornography tactic. Then the slave trafficking tactic. Now this. All reasons “why we need internet censorship”. An uncontrolled Internet is simply too dangerous for power elites.
