  1.  @angel-a123  It's not "whistleblowing" when you dump on a public forum, huge amounts of highly classified information, including personal details of intelligence operatives working covertly for your government in hostile countries. Nor is that in the public interest. You don't have an inherent right to know everything your government knows.

  2. He disseminated highly classified information then hid in an embassy when he knew he was going suffer the legal consequences for doing so. Simple case of doing the crime but don't want to do the time. Nothing political about it.

  3. It's called "espionage" and "treason". 🙄

  9. He committed espionage and treason by seeking, acquiring and disseminating highly classified information. Nothing political about it. He is a criminal and is paying the consequences for it!

  11. Julian Assange committed treason and espionage by seeking, acquiring and disseminating highly classified information. In the not too distant past he would have been summarily executed. He deserves to rot in prison for the rest of his life!

  12.  @j.pappas9083  Well, it's always been his aim to aggravate the U.S. He is a computer hacker who thinks he is an anarchist. Just another keyboard warrior who thinks he's changing the world order. How's that working out for you Julian?

  13.  @carolyns99  You probably also remember then, the creep who gave the info to Wikileaks in the first place got real lucky. "He" had his transition paid for by the U.S. taxpayer while in a military prison and then was given a presidential pardon by Obama just before he left office. If Assange hadn't hid in the Ecuador embassy in London, he probably would have been imprisoned in the U.S. and pardoned in 2017 at the same time as Manning. This would all be behind him by now. Choices have consequences!

  14.  @carolyns99  My reply to you also got deleted immediately. 😄 I'll try again with a shortened version. 🙄 If Assange had not hidden in the Ecuador embassy, he most likely would have been imprisoned in the U.S. and given a presidential pardon by Obama in 2017 like Manning received. This would all be behind him by now. Choices have consequences!

  17. He sought, acquired and disseminated highly classified material. Far from doing "nothing wrong". 🙄

  19.  @thevocalcrone  You are comparing the circumstances of Julian Assange to those of Nelson Mandela??? 🤣🤣🤣

  20.  @Ubernotes10  Comparing Assange to Mandela makes as about as much sense as comparing Nazi Germany to Israel! 🤣🤣🤣

  21.  @thevocalcrone  Julian Assange started out as a very skilful computer hacker living a safe, comfortable life in the suburbs of Australia. He doesn't care about human rights. All he ever cared about was giving the middle finger to the U.S. He has never experienced living under an oppressive system like apartheid. He has never risked his life fighting to free his people from cruelty and injustice. Yes, Mandela did commit acts of terrorism, but he put his life at great risk doing so, trying to end the subjugation and exploitation of his people. You obviously have little understanding of deprivations Mandela had to endure. Assange did everything from the safety of his keyboard. He has never been subject to the humilation, violence and mental and physical torture that Mandela was while he was on Robben Island and in other prisons. Assange, by choice, hid in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, living in relative comfort and having all his basic needs provided for until he was moved to a prison after many years. You have no idea if his actions have ever hurt anyone. He dumped, on a public forum, a vast amount of highly classified information, including the personal details of people working covertly in hostile environments without any regard for the risk to their lives if discovered. Assange does not, and never will, inspire millions of people around the world with his courage, forgiveness and compassion for others. Nelson Mandela was one of the greatest statesman of the modern era and had more dignity in the tip of his little finger than Julian Assange could ever show over a lifetime. In their personalities, their life experiences, their motivation, their achievements, their influence on others; Nelson Mandela and Julian Assange are nothing alike...get some perspective! (YouTube will delete this, no doubt). 😄

  22.  @thevocalcrone  "Mandela lived in a different time, when ultimately human-rights prevail." What time period in his life are you talking about? Just in his own country of South Africa, you would be hard-pressed to show that human-rights have prevailed since he died. (The hypocrisy of SA taking Israel to the ICJ is astounding)! Do you have any understanding of world events since the end of WW2? On what do you base that statement?

  23.  @thevocalcrone  I was born in the late 60's in the same country as you. I was thinking the same about your age given your romanticised view of the last century. I am only focused on Mandela because you chose him and his life experiences as a comparison to those of Assange, which is a totally false equivalence. You then doubled-down on your claim by suggesting that he had been treated more unjustly than Mandela. Again, a ridiculous thing to say. Assange knew exactly what he was doing and knew the penalties involved. If he had faced the music in the U.S, instead of hiding like a coward in a foreign embassy in England, he would almost certainly have been pardoned by the then President Obama at the same time as Manning in 2017, and this would be all behind him. Choices have consequences!

  24.  @thevocalcrone  You are showing your own bias on the matter if you actually believe he is going to be seen as a significant enough figure in human history that "future generations" are going to be taught about his life. He is utterly insignificant historically.

  25.  @thevocalcrone  Name a single conflict in human history where atrocities didn't occur against civilians.

  26. He committed espionage and treason by seeking, acquiring and disseminating highly classified information. He deserves to rot in prison for the rest of his life! From a proud Australian! ❤ 🇦🇺❤
