I have GREAT Respect for a GENUINE "Whistleblower" such as Dan Ellsberg ...

But Julian Assange is no such Thing ... 

Ellsberg surrendered himself to The Authorities for Trial ...

Assange is a trembling wimpy COWARD ... (and also a hypocritical FOOL who takes Refuge in a Country with a State-owned Press that  NOTORIOUSLY  lacks "Freedom" ... !!!)

People who hate whistleblowers, hate the cowardice they feel within themselves.

If you express hate for the defining features of a person (and the person himself) in order to justify an avoidance of him and what he does, your purpose in doing so is often to avoid examining what it is about the person you feel is superior to your sense of self.

G'day teilhard:

Julian Assange is FARTHER Right-Wing than was George "Dubya" Bush .

No, he's a market libertarian.

According to Assange, "It’s not correct to put me in any one philosophical or economic camp, because I’ve learned from many. But one is American libertarianism, market libertarianism.

Yeah, well, that Guy who blew up The Federal Building in Oklahoma City back in 1995 was a "disgruntled" Military Veteran whose violent Fantasies turned out to be entirely SERIOUS, to the Tune of one hundred sixty-eight Persons killed and many others maimed ...

A few Years ago, not that long after 9-11-2001, a BeliefNet Member was openly posting stuff about how he HATED Jeb Bush (then Governor of Florida) and lived only a short Distance from The Mansion, etc. ... and indeed SOUNDED like he could and might commit Violence ... Somebody "ratted him out" and shortly he spent MANY Hours in serious Conversation with The Police and FBI ...

Of course, you Anarchist-"Wiki-LIES" Guys who are so enamored of "Guy Fawkes" (he, of "The Gunpowder Plot") may well be perfectly COMFORTABLE with the Idea of disgruntled Guys blowing-up Government Buildings ... ???

The United States forcibly suppresses on-line dissent.

A former Marine involuntarily detained for psychiatric evaluation for posting strident anti-government messages on Facebook has received an outpouring of support from people who say authorities are trampling on his First Amendment rights.

Brandon J. Raub, 26, has been in custody since FBI, Secret Service agents and police in Virginia's Chesterfield County questioned him Thursday evening about what they said were ominous posts talking about a coming revolution.

The United States invades and occupies countries to steal their natural resources.

New York continues its reign as the Cocaine Capital of the World. One is almost tempted to upbraid them for wasting the stuff. Nowhere did researchers find as much pure cocaine as they did in the Hudson River.
