In reply to the discussion: Can someone explain to me what Julian Assange has been charged with in the US [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)know what their plans were to shut him up. It was interesting to read a conversation between agents discussing how to silence Wikileaks. They dismissed the old 'suicide' routine and settled on 'smear him with a sex scandal'.
Droning brown people is one thing, no one much cares in the Western World about them. But droning an Australian who is more popular around the world than the US Congress and each and every one of the leaders of the Western world, is another.
So they settled on the Sex Scandal, which appears to be the latest thing and in their minds, just as effective as 'suicide' as far as accomplishing their goal. I imagine they may be having second thoughts about that, which is why he definitely needs to stay out of their hands until we the people can restore some rule of law and democracy in our countries.
Cardinal Mindszenty remained in the US Embassy for 15 years until the political tide changed. Assange may have to do the same thing.
