Assange: "From today WikiLeaks has decided to intervene in the U.S. federal election."
In my email:
"Dear WikiLeaks donor,
From today WikiLeaks has decided to intervene in the U.S. federal election. It is clear that whether Republicans or Democrats are in power, without the sort of pressure we can exert when we are at our strongest, the U.S. government will continue to declare the whole world a battleground.
Last Friday, the Pentagon publicly reissued its threats against WikiLeaks, demanding that we destroy our previous publications and cease "soliciting" U.S. military whistleblowers -- and that our failure to do so was an ongoing "crime" and "law enforcement matter". The FBI file for the pending prosecution of WikiLeaks, according to court records from earlier this year, has reached 42,135 pages.
WikiLeaks is determined to stop these and other moves towards what appears to be – let's be honest – a transnational security state dystopia. We believe knowledge is power and that knowledge should be in the hands of the people. By placing huge quantities of secret knowledge into your hands we can stop the concentration of power that is driving these trends.
We ask that you cast the only vote that matters, and again vote with your wallet.

He got his naturalized citizenship fair and square. It just so happened that, purely by coincidence, that made him eligible to buy U.S. TV and radio stations.
Anyone still defending that piece of shit is now defending someone who is actively campaigning against Democrats.

Would posting a 'pro' Assange/Wikileaks threat now be a violation of the TOS now that they're actively fighting against Democrats?
I think this just might require a donation to DU so Skinner and Co. can buy some aspirin. 
Bummer, between donating to DU, Pres. Obama and local (and non-local) Dems...I don't have any left over for Assileaks. 
dys·to·pi·a/disˈtōpēə/
Noun:
An imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one.
The transnational security state dystopia is being instituted by the 1%, and is being instituted for the express purpose of insuring and securing their wealth and power, and the protection of all their material interests globally. Democracy, freedom, planetary environment, and the overall well-being of the vast majority of human beings worldwide all suffer immensely because of the undeniably sociopathic intentions, and actions, of the 1%.
Knowledge should be in the hands of the people, and Wikileaks reveals facts, knowledge, of facts that are purposely hidden, facts about the intentions and the violent and destructive activities sanctioned by the 1% that the 1% strongly desires to hide from the general population of the world. The 1% wishes to subjugate us under their authoritarian control. Actually understanding who our real enemy is, based on knowledge of facts about our enemy's nefarious intentions and misdeeds, is primary knowledge that is necessary to incite people to rebel against the aggressive authoritarianism of the 1%, and the forces financed by the 1% (and also financed by we hapless taxpayers who have already been partially subjugated to serve the 1%.
Wikileaks makes the sociopathic intentions of the 1% clear by exposing facts that illustrate the secretive and sociopathic essential nature of the 1% -a heartless, conscienceless killing machine that will mercilessly destroy anything that gets in the way of its all consuming gluttony and greed.
If you ever wonder why so many, on the internet, and elsewhere, seem insanely obsessed with destroying Julian Assange and Wikileaks and are spending so much time and energy on their crusade...well, it ain't rocket science.
You've developed a reputation as anti-establishment and anti-institution.
Not at all. Creating a well-run establishment is a difficult thing to do, and I've been in countries where institutions are in a state of collapse, so I understand the difficulty of running a company. Institutions don't come from nowhere.
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. So as far as markets are concerned I'm a libertarian, but I have enough expertise in politics and history to understand that a free market ends up as monopoly unless you force them to be free.
WikiLeaks is designed to make capitalism more free and ethical.
Does that sound like a raving anarchist to you?
because our government has been almost completely corrupted and compromised by wealthy private interests, and acts primarily as the servant of these wealthy private interests, particularly in many of their actions and interactions with respect to other nations.
These actions, IMO, have the basic concern of protecting the economic and material interests of wealthy private interests, rather than the interests of American citizens and the citizens of other sovereign nations as well.
I believe, at the very least, any communication expressed, or action taken by government officials that indicates any breach of what would be considered the normal accepted ethical standards of our society is fair game.
Anything that indicates malicious or nefarious intention or action that is contrary to the well being of innocent human beings, particularly those things done primarily in the service of wealthy private interests, is fair game.
It's basically very simple, really:
Don't do any anti-democratic, disingenuous, nasty, rotten, evil shit for profit, and there won't be anything for us to expose, and/or feel morally compelled to expose. That should not sound unreasonable to any decent human being.
