    The democratic west out there engaging in one of the longest and most dramatic repressions of a journalist in history.

    Absolutely disgusting how radlibs turned on him as soon as the media blamed Wikileaks for “aiding Russia”

    Amazing. He needs to move to a decent country and then write a book about the horror he experienced once he gets some psychological counseling for the PTSD. This man’s a fucking hero.

    I’m glad he’s free but goddamn I don’t think he’s going to be straight for awhile, dude is really going to need some time to heal. Solitary confinement is torture and it’s crazy how the prison system uses it with such ease.

    Incredible news.

    I don’t think it can be understated just how much damage this man did to US credibility through wikileaks. I have no idea if he has the skillset he once had or the connections that enabled it but they incredible damage to the US and they hunted him relentlessly for it to set an example. And it worked flawlessly. Other outlets became considerably more on the side of the US in the aftermath of crackdowns on Assange and police raids of any news org that was publishing anything the US didn’t like, the UK Guardian being an obvious famous example of this when the authorities raided them for Snowden’s harddrives and forced them to take angle grinders to the drives while GCHQ operatives observed.

    I wonder what “negotiations” took place. Is he allowed to go back to journalism if he wanted to?

    Huh, was kinda never expecting to see the day.

    Obviously a very good thing he’s free but it sucks he had to spend so long in such awful conditions, I imagine you’d never fully get over that sort of experience (real doomer hours from me tonight I guess).

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
