Daniel Ellsberg On Assange Arrest: The Beginning of the End For Press Freedom

1. when confronted with revised history, it s vital for oral tradition, you lived it, pass it on, your children need to know how to dodge the suckerpunch..they will thank you, perhaps not now…but they will love you for it…LORD HAVE MERCY NO ONE ELSE DOES/WILL

2. it wasn t such a brutal planet in daniels day…today, pirates are in your face with ritual blood sacrifices labeled WAR, and psychotic in nature publicly, cause the public would have shut them down, what a difference a day makes, DC is primal tribal and criminal…unashamed and unafraid when confronted, they just call out the goon squads, that enjoy carte blanche in dealing with an irrelevant populace

3. 💯💯💯

4. Le commencement de la fin. THE BEGINNING OF THE END.  Many journalistes will become Cowards, but you KEEP FIGHTING till it sets JULIAN FREE !!!

5. Old Gore, speaking from the grave.

6. Our British life is not ours, we are just a collective managed by the UK state

7. I ask for all Christians to pray for Julian Assange…that God protects him from those who want to destroy him.
   The power of appealing to God through prayer will keep him safe.
   And to reveal who double crossed him.
   May God have Mercy on your soul, Julian.

8. People must stand up and be counted. We must lobby against such actions or we are doomed to be at left with nothing but lies and corruption. Barclays Bank stole money from the people, Hillary Clinton was corrupt and caused the death of thousands of people as well as lied to Congress. Why aren't these people in jail???????

9. It is utter disgusting and Ecuadorian Government, Australian Government, British Governments as well as the USA have acted unlawfully. It really shows us, the public , how our right can be withdrawn in a moment because exposing the TRUTH is a crime!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. Nothing saint about Assange. He was selective in which information he leaked. He had a political and profiting agenda.

11. MAY ALL OUR ATOMS RISE
    MAY THOSE WITH CREDENTIALS OF LIGHT, TAKE POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP AND POWER OF THE TRUE PURE CLEAR LIGHT IN THE QUANTUM DIVINE MULTIDIMENSIONAL MATRIX !

12. Assange is hero

13. Well, The Ecuadorian govt. was bribed by the USA to release Assange – so of course, in the USA bribery/torture being okayed by their government – approved by slimy corrupt pelosi – because of corrupt clinton/neera tanden and sadly, con man obama – freedom of press is dead in that disgusting country. Harper/trudeau started the same here – with harper's unconstitutional Bill C-51 – so our press will be going down next. God help us in North America!

14. Free societies are completely dependant on intellectual freedom and freedom of the press. This much is axiomatic.

15. Glenn Greenwald Taking Assange Arrest Really Hard, Y'all, Bless His Heart https://www.wonkette.com/greenwald-assange?fbclid=IwAR12zE8FhaSOZnFN6e1BUvAppjL5aJ9Xbqkhan4mst8YTVoUq969_GAseEY

16. THE REAL FAKE NEWS

17. USA was given so many courageous whistleblowers and journalists but never punished a single war criminal. Perhaps God is asking "why should I waste such people on you? why should I waste such freedom on you?"

18. Sadly I think most Americans don't have any understanding of how serious Trump's war on the First Amendment is. We're witnessing one of our most important rights being taken away by the gang of criminals in the White House.

19. 56 dislikes.

    What kind of psychopath would dislike this?

20. Let him go!!!

21. Gore Vidal was a excellent writer. He's on my bookshelf.

22. all 50 states just need to secede. all together and cut the feds funding.

23. I like sci-fi….since 3rd grade. Don't we have to dream it before it becomes…?“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

    ― Frank Herbert, Dune

24. What an incredibly courageous and articulate man. I have nothing but respect for Daniel Ellsberg. That has not always been the case. I was a Vietnam era U.S Army officer and believed my government at the time. Turns out, I was the one who was mistaken and my government was not worthy of my trust. Since then, I have grown a great deal in my understanding thanks to people like Ron Paul. Sadly, the government has gotten much, much worse and our freedoms have greatly deteriorated. I am pessimistic we are going to be able to reverse things anytime soon, if ever. As Ellsberg hinted, our Republic is in peril. Trump/Pence have been a disaster for freedom. Israel appears to be the only country they are interested in making great again. Time to roll back the empire.

25. Trump has already betrayed his voting base with MANY " false promises ". IF Trump fails to pardon Manning & Assange, it will not only be the end of free speech GLOBALLY, but he may well assure his loss in 2020. Either way, America ( which is where I was born and live ) will be officially done. Toast. FINISHED. I'm sure Orwell is orgasming right now with extreme delight . . .

26. Evil prospers when good people do nothing. Julian is one of the good. He will be gagged/ hidden away.

27. Press freedom has been denied for sometime this is just proof how far they will go !

28. Interesting, a very civil explanation of a very savage act by a very savage country. PS: The indictment rate of a US grand jury is a very corrupt 99%.

29. You knew it would happen with tRUMP. Why the surprise ?? Get rid of freedom more guns less money and no good jobs and to hell with the environment.

30. ECUADOR — a Real "Shithole Country" …. ( using Trumps' words)

31. Trump made an enemy out of the liberal media and neocon right not alt media, he always stood beside wiki and truth do let's see what happens.

32. He will never make a witness stand. What, full blown publicity for the world media. Naw, the knackers have big plans, for Julian. I mean, they can take out presidents….. Heavy

33. I just hope Trump will come to his senses and based on his prior statements that he "loves Wikileaks" will come to rescue to Assange. This can be his key to the 2 term in the office.

34. I would love to read his books.

35. Did he hack or assisted in hacking? That's the story.

36. All western governments wish to commit international crimes with zero oversight. If I was part of a totalitarian control group, eliminating disclosure is a basic tool.

37. America is sure a hell of a lot allike nazi!

38. Trump is lying as fast as he can to distance himself from Assange and WikiLeaks the minute he heard the news. Also, my understanding of Assange arrest was for hacking US military computers classified information. Which is a dangerous thievery and not related to the important revalations of journalism.

39. The “mainstream news” IS an enemy of the people. They are on the side of the deep state and multinational corporate propaganda interests. How dumb to think that Assange has anything to do with either of those things. Trump couldn’t care less about what Assange exposed about Bush, Obama and Clinton. He even recently said “it’s not my thing”. The deep state are who want to prosecute him. Enough with the Trump derangement syndrome. I am worried about free speech and the biggest enemies to it are the mainstream Medea and deep state, not Trump, not Russia, not Assange.

40. It's what all governments around the world want. Silence the voices of the citizens, so that their voice is the only heard.

41. Where are all these 2nd amendment rights nut bags? This country is so backwards.

42. US is becoming less and less great every day – along with the rest of the world. Too bad God or omnipotent aliens don't pay us a visit and mercifully relieve us of our evil overlords.

43. So if Shithole calls the media fake news and trashes our first amendment rights what rights does Assange have especially when he's deeply involved with WikiLeaks? The tables are turning and justice will prevail. She always does. In the darkest of moments she shines!

44. why doesnt anyone mention julian hawkins (assange) previous guilty plea to 25 (yes TWENTY FIVE) criminal counts of HACKING? i think its a fairly important fact to be considered when defending him as a "journalist".
