WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is a hero to libertarians. As is Ross Ulbricht, the founder of now-defunct Silk Road, an internet marketplace where you could buy lots of shady things. Where some see traitors and criminals, many libertarians see truth-seeking rebels, courageously engaged in a war against Big Government, defying unjust mandates. This was particularly apparent at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention in Washington, DC, this weekend. In an email sent to press by organizers, “Free Ross Ulbricht” and “Free Julian Assange” were ranked the top topics for Donald Trump’s speech Saturday — over “End the Fed” and other popular...

President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he's considering ending the prosecution of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. In February, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese requested that the yearslong prosecution of Assange be ended and that he be returned to his native Australia. Biden is entertaining a fellow member of the Quad, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, at the White House Wednesday for an official state visit. 'We're considering it,' Biden told reporters when asked about Assange as he walked with Kishida along the colonnade of the White House after Wednesday's welcome ceremony on the South Lawn. Assange is in custody in...

A London court is due to rule whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange gets one final appeal in England to challenge extradition to the United States on espionage charges. Two judges are scheduled to issue a judgment in the High Court that could put an end to Assange’s long legal saga — or extend it further.

Federal prosecutors are pursuing a deal to allow WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to avoid espionage charges and instead plead guilty to the misdemeanor of mishandling classified data. The Wall Street Journal first reported on the talks between U.S. authorities and Assange's lawyers on Wednesday. The independent outlet Consortium News then confirmed that it had learned the same details "off the record" several months ago. Assange has been detained in Britain for five years awaiting extradition, and the Journal reported that he "would likely be free to leave prison shortly after any deal was concluded" due to time served. Although it's...

VIDEOKatty Kay proclaimed on Morning Joe that the idea that the United States government has journalists jailed is ridiculous. So who wants to tell poor Katty that the U.S. government is now trying to extradite a certain incarcerated JOURNALIST to the USA in order to jail him for life?

LONDON, UK - The High Court in London Tuesday will begin hearing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's final UK appeal against extradition to the United States to face trial over publishing secret military and diplomatic files. Washington wants the 52-year-old Australian citizen extradited after he was charged there multiple times between 2018 and 2020 in connection with WikiLeaks' 2010 publication of files relating to the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The long-running legal saga in Britain's courts is now nearing a conclusion, after Assange lost successive rulings in recent years. If this week's two-day bid to appeal -- set to...

At the same time, the Russian leader emphasized that it will be 'hard to press this type of charges against Carlson' MOSCOW, February 15./TASS/.Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that the arrest of US journalist Tucker Carlson in the United States is theoretically possible, although it will be very hard to press any charges. "(Wikileaks founder Julian) Assange remains in custody, an practically no one remembers him. Only his family and friends still keep raising the issue and that's all," the Russian leader said in an interview to journalist Pavel Zarubin, when asked whether Carlson may be arrested in his home...

Remember as we wait for the Tucker Carlson interview with Putin 2.0 to drop, Tucker still has that interview he did months ago with Julian Assange inside Belmarsh Prison in his back pocket. For some mysterious reason that isn't yet apparent, Tucker has held back that interview.… Think "Crowdstrike Report on the Russian Hackers Who Supposedly Hacked The DNC Server and Stole The DNC Emails". Roll it around in your brain. Ponder at depth the various angles. About the fake Crowdstrike report. Think, ponder and reflect on these plot points: 1. Russian hackers didn't take the DNC emails 2. Crowdstrike...

The agency’s frantic efforts to hide the laptop’s contents inevitably lead to the suspicion that there’s something on it that the powers in DC don’t want Americans to see. Not surprisingly, our media have ignored the Rich story. As I sat at Starbucks, I showed twelve random people a recent news photograph of FBI Director Christopher Wray. Most were under thirty and primarily female. None could identify Wray by name or position. I blame our media for the absence of objective reporting, censoring information, and publishing propaganda without question, i.e., false war porn and casualty counts of Hamas. Small wonder,...

VIDEOHas there ever been in American history such a consequential LIAR as the former Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper? Again and again he has been caught lying. About Trump-Russia collusion, about NSA collecting data on millions of Americans, and about the Hunter Biden laptop story being a result of Russian Disinformation. How many times does Clapper have to be caught lying before CNN dumps him as their National Security Analyst? Well, CNN is going to face that decision yet again since the Julian Assange Team has just confirmed that the source for the Wikileaks DNC emails story in 2016...
