    This part of it makes me sorta wish he does get arrested and releases everything at once... I'd feel bad for him about it... but I think the questions it would answer would change the world rather rapidly....

    Makes me wonder just how they think they can deal with this now... They have put themselves in the position that they must take action against him and win, or they will never have any control over information.

    Thats why I say I dont see a good way out of this for anyone now.

    I'm afraid you're pretty much spot on here.... every war has its casualties- perhaps regular folks can reverse their intellectual disarming at the hands of the media, pop culture, and the "free" "educational" (indoctrination) system; and collectively take hold of their balls to stand up against their government, which has long been serving as the executive arm of the corporate world in economically oppressing the masses.

    Perhaps FEMA can assist in "liquidating" dissidents if things get appropriately chaotic. :)

    Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, has been freed from a London jail, following the payment of $345,000 bail money by various celebrities. As conditions for his release, Julian must wear an electronic tracking device and report to a local police station each day. At least now he can return to Wikileaks and continue his work and try to fix the problems the US has caused for his organization.

    He is up on charges of rape, the swedish authorities are after him.

    Apparently these charges were implemented months ago and he has actively been seeking to speak with the prosecutor to have his name cleared since then, and failing to get a hold of them.

    Next stop Guantanamo?

    It should be noted that he turned himself in of his own accord.

    This is an interesting situation, because he threatened that if he were arrested or convicted on these charges, he would release some sort of extremely damaging material that he has been withholding so far.

    I personally thought that withholding information was what he was against, and the fact that he'd use it as a bargaining chip for his own personal gain is kind of immoral, but whatever, we'll see if it's released.

    Trying to put someone away for releasing the truth is immoral. Fight fire with fire.

    What he's doing is hypocritical. You don't change immoral behaviors by emulating them.

    Some of us don't regard the behavior as immoral.
