    I agree. Yet I would had appreciated his efforts more if hr had exposed both sides in the US election creating a more level playing field, and providing accurate information, what he did is provide partial correct information which is exactly how propaganda works
    The devil is in what you are being told, but what you are not told. WikiLeaks . wittingly or unwittingly was a tool of a propaganda machine that helped elect trump. Perhaps he was a useful fool. but IMO a fool nonetheless.

    Keep in mind, he didn't do the hacking. The Russians did. He was just the conduit for what he was given, therefore he had no chance to expose both sides.

    I'll love it if his lawyer brings it up in court.

    JHC!! He is 47 years old. Looks 70 I would say.
    Can you imagine being confined for 7 years in a small room, with a cat shitting everywhere, and every time you walk out in the corridor the local staff mumble 'Hola gringo' under their breath, being reduced to eating chorizos every fcuking day and watching Spanish language re-runs of Benny Hill?

    I'm surprised he didn't top himself....

    From several accounts it seems that he has teetered over the edge already and is therefore fucked.

    The good news, and the judge has already indicated this in the bail offence hearing, is that his extradition has been requested in respect of the offence of procuring the hacking of a state department etc which carries a penalty of 5 years. He cannot be charged in respect of any other offence once extradited and the hitherto possible spying charges are bollocks not least because that charge would constitute a "political offence " and therefore would render the extradition unlikely.
    He should just fuck off to the uS, do his porridge and return to Oz to be a bum Queenslander hacking surfer dude.

    Oh dear. Looks like a generous helping of Swedish meatballs could be on Julians plate if he goes down for a sex crime in Stockholm...

    Julian Assange: Sweden considers reviving rape inquiry

    Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange could face a renewed investigation into an allegation of rape in Sweden.

    Assange, 47, who had been granted asylum in Ecuador's London embassy for seven years, was arrested on Thursday.

    Swedish prosecutors said they were examining the case at the request of the alleged victim's lawyer.

    The US also wants to extradite him from the UK over his alleged role in one of the largest ever leaks of government secrets in 2010.

    Australian-born Assange faces a charge of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion in the US for his alleged role in one of the largest ever leaks of government secrets in 2010, which could result in a prison term of up to five years.

    Lawyer Elizabeth Massi Fritz said she would do "everything we possibly can" to get the investigation reopened in Sweden.

    Why Ecuador ended Assange's stay in embassy
    Who is Julian Assange?
    Timeline of the Assange saga

    Assange sought refuge in the Knightsbridge embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden on sexual assault charges. But Ecuador abruptly withdrew its asylum and invited the police to arrest him on Thursday.

    After his dramatic arrest, he was taken to Westminster Magistrates' Court and found guilty of a British charge of breaching bail. He spent Thursday night in custody and is facing up to 12 months in prison for that conviction.

    The United Nations has called for his right to a fair trial to be respected during any extradition process.

    I guess we are now totally ignoring the US war crimes that he exposed what this is really all about. Ok he maybe a rapist under swedish law as in didn't wear a condom during consensual sex but this has fuck all to do with where we are now. Same as the tranny Chelsea Manning they want to set an example to whistle blowers as in show what the US military really gets up to as in killing lots of innocent brown (of varying shades) people you will spend the rest of your life in prison.

    The war crime was going in there in the first place for no reason.

    The shit that happens in war is just that, shit.

    So he didn't really expose anything that anyone without half a brain didn't know about anyway.

    And it certainly isn't any different to Assad dropping barrel bombs or chemical weapons on civilians, or Russia annexing Crimea, and I didn't see Assange and the rest of his fucking lackeys making a fuss over either of those.

    No prizes for guessing why.

He sought shelter in the Ecuadorian Embassy - primacy or chronology or special relationship or shall we for once and for all fuk it all off and instead of the human rights which the UK help formulate and has been bastardised by lawyers just get the ncut out of the \uk - Manny?

    Whatever your personal opinion of Assange or wikikleaks methods of obtaining what they publish, throwing him in the slammer is wrong and other media outlets should be making it loud and clear as they will be next.

    I like to think that the Westminster system is consistant within the UK, and if he breached bail he has to face that charge and will be duly punished, mitigating circumstances taken into consideration, and he will face a token fine or number of days in gaol.
    However, now he is under lock and key, there is the other matter of the US extradition request, which must also be addressed by the courts. In this, I do not have much faith for true justice to be served and I think he may be handed over. He could get lucky and have a good judge who despises Trump, but I am sure there will be a lot of backroom talks.
    I'm not sure, but I expect that he should not be incarcerated or held in remand while the extradition case is pending. This may give him a chance to seek asylum elsewhere, though I think he'd be pushing shit uphill after his not being a model house guest.
