UPDATE: JULIAN ASSANGE Freed!

I didnt know this......

What gets me is: WHY IS BRITAIN HOLDING HIM?? (He didnt release anything about them)

The charges of rape are bogus -- HE DID NO SUCH THING!!

 

if he really did rape those women then he deserves to pay the consequences. although that is a totally different issue from any kind of freedom of information or government corruption.

but if the information lunaverse posted a few pages back is true then these rape charges are totally and utterly ludicrous.

all-in-all i'm sure there is a ton of misinformation going around. especially if you take into consideration that this guy's organisation has hacking skills, and the fact that the governments opposing that group are also going to have ability to produce misinformation and influence over media.

the people do have a right to truth, and the governments don't have a right to deny that. it is true that corruption has taken a deep hold on most governments, especially in america. this corruption needs to be exposed and adressed if there is going to be any kind of true freedom.

but the idea of corruption in humanity goes much deeper than that. the corruption in governments is largely due to the corruption in the heart of man, and the natural reaction to having power. if there were no governments then what other kinds of corruption would surface in a conqest for power? i'm sure there would be many. for that matter how are we sure that this group isn't corrupt? that is something that they will have to establish for themselves insofar as the ability to produce accurate and honest information.

there can be no freedom from corruption until we first free ourselves from our own selfishness.

posted this elsewhere too, but forget which thread . . .

 

This rhubarb is reminiscent of what the Yippies and others did in the 60s, but instead of taking the fight to the streets it has been taken to cyberspace.

defcon2 and holding..

 

ditto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i, for one, am appalled, but not surprised in the least by the smear campaign against this fucking global hero!!!

 

It just gets better and better... They had a guy on CNN just now, talking about how everyone is vunerable to Anonymous... Including users... Came with helpful warnings to make sure you update your computers when it tells you you should...

Now, be prepared for the influx of morons who will be claiming that they don't want their computer hacked by these evil hackers...

 

LLLLLOOOOOOLLLLL

rant in E minor!!!!!

E fackign minor!!!! llool

 

You want to know what you can do to help?

It's easy, you don't even have to move from your chair, or leave this website...

When you see these people making attacks on Assange, either in posts or in their signature... Neg rep them.

It would be silly to sit back and allow these people to do this here while we are trying to fight those who do the same elsewhere.

 

Let me think about that one....

 

he's on about me, but Tom can't take a joke like the rest of us...

 

Don't give yourself too much credit, you are but one of the people I am on about.

The fact that you find it funny to spread bullshit about someone who is having their life destroyed by bullshit, demonstrates clearer then anything just what type of person you are.

At least that's my opinion.

 

Free Julian now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REVOLUTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to take it to the streets !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Man, this life is just let down after let down.

 

It has, and what has become of my reality after I say that, another series of quick let downs. But today is my day.

 

Sadly, making this all into one big joke and trivializing an ongoing situation that to me is very ominous to anyone with a vested interest in politics and policy being conducted transparently and in the interest of everyone- and NOT the very elite- which has become the norm.

I have been witness to the deterioration of the concept of individual rights and freedom under the guise of economic growth and security- and when all that is used to justify the denial of freedom and dignity to regular folks turns out to be bullshit people should be enraged- not cracking jokes. We;'re too desensitized to scandal and corruption to the point where we just take it as a matter of fact way of life- even when it imperils our very way of life... existence.

I may not agree with name calling but I have far bigger problems with rhetoric that seeks to trivialize what amounts to an all-out assault on the part of governments and the elites and corporations that they serve on our right to know.

It is not a joke- the illusion that we are free is.

 

I have one question, if you were to meet them in person, would you tell Miss A and Miss W that their claims are complete fabrications?

 

I'm hardly free to say what I like though, am I...? Where's my individual rights!??

I think people are forgetting the big problem with wikileaks, the repercussions. What happens if information is put into the wrong hands? It could fuel a taliban attack, it could put people at risk. And this guy has alleged have information to knock out a major bank in the US, this is his own claim, and he wants publish it. Ok, well done, you beat capitalism

but it exists, so the market will plunge and we all lose our investments, recession worsens and everyone thinks julian is the man. Uhh, not quite. Even when he announced that, the market share price across the board flattered by three odd percent.

His personal life shouldn't be amplified like this, but let's not forget objectivity and fair criticism.

 

their claims may not be, but the jealousy that drove them to seek prosecution is a bit much - perhaps counseling would have been a smarter choice

the new claims of the prosecutor seem to be complete fabrications though

 

who's we?

what's an investment?
