I'm in the camp that doesn't think that about Assange and Snowden.
Manning can die a slow death as far as I'm concerned though. He's just an asshole as far as I'm concerned. If I read correctly, even manning's leaks didn't lead to any deaths, etc.
Snowden let the world know about the incredibly vast surveillance state that we live under. Maybe his method of communicating that could be considered wrong, but does anyone think it could have been done another way, given the collusion between the liberal median and the Deep State?
I'm not saying Assange or Snowden are heros, but, as far as I'm concerned Assange has been doing us a favor. He's been doing the job an unbiased and impartial press should be doing, but they refuse to for partisan purposes. We would not know about the crap that the DNC pulled for her. About Podesta and all the other BS.
I realize that he put the CIA code stuff out there for all the world to see. But, if that stuff was being used against you and me, then I'm glad. F*ck them. And if what they did w/ the FISC against Pres Trump and the NSA data collection, then there's no reason to think otherwise, IMHO.
But, if things even remotely start looking bad for the Dem's, then I really hope he has the money form some legit security because, otherwise, he's a dead man walking. He could potentially take them all down. And if he can prove that the DNC info came from inside, then Mueller is gone, everything is gone. And I don't see them letting that happen. They'll either find a way to lose the case and kill him later or the Deep State will get him. That might sound loony or far fetched, but those folks are losing their minds.
He has said that he has 'dead man switches' in case anything happens to him. So, I guess we'll see how it all plays out.
“I’m not saying Assange or Snowden are heros, but, as far as I’m concerned Assange has been doing us a favor.”
Agree.
If you didn’t know about the vast surveillance state (an organization I have worked for, as have many of you) before Snowden arrived you’re very late to the party. Thousands of authors, reporters, commentators, comedians and actors have tried to tell you. Take the late Bill Hicks as just one example. Many of the things the surveillance state does had a very rational justification when we were at war with fascism and communism and some things still hold true.
If Trump was working for the Russians, what would happen with Edward Snowden? Wouldn’t Trump have pardoned Snowden and invited him back?
I would suspect that the Deadman switches, if real, are about leaking information out. But even then you know full well that liberal politicians will dismiss it as fabricated.
He did more to lay bare tyrants than many before him.

Assange is a criminal and not a hero. Anyone who supports Assange in the least hates the US Military.
Assange has already stated that the info wiki received was not from the Russians or a state party.
And I suspect the reason he hasn't released the info is for two reasons:
First he never wanted to compromise any of his sources.
And second, he's using that information as a bargaining chip in the event he is deported to the U.S. for prosecution.
With that being said, the MSM and the Democraps have successfully Clintonized him to the point that any testimony he should give will be laughed at as they did to Juanita Broderick......
I firmly believe that the emails were originally provided by Seth Rich and given to either a second party or directly to Wiki
Let’s stop the bullmalarkey. Nothing is going to hurt the Democrats. Republicans had all three chambers of government for two years and the only person hurt was the top Republican. For crying out loud, they couldn’t even manage to get rid of that corrupt asshat IRS commissioner, John Koskinen, who was appointed by Bathhouse Barry. It’s a complete joke.
Bump.
Look, qaz, I agree that the Deep State and the left are in full collusion and need to be stopped. However, Assange is definitely not on our side. He has MORE than made this clear. And for the record, his leaks HAVE in fact led to intelligence ops being ruined, and endangering the lives of countless soldiers. And I’ve got PLENTY of sources to back that claim up:

*https://canadafreepress.com/article/radical-leftist-julian-assange-plays-god-leaking-us-documents
And BTW, Canada Free Press has plenty more on there regarding Assange and what he’s truly like. I might as well also point out that he adheres to Marxist-Leninist principles, meaning he’s NOT our ally, period (I hold utter disgust towards communists of ANY stripe thanks to how they slaughtered us Christians like pigs, and quite frankly, him holding to Marxist-Leninist views is more than enough for me to at the very least be sorely tempted to put a bullet in his head if we ever cross paths). It’s like saying Stalin’s a good guy just because he fought against Hitler.

And as an FYI, he’s also deeply tied to George Soros as well, meaning allying with him is ultimately allying with the deep state, and it is naïve to think allying with him means ending the deep state.
As far as Snowden, leaking documents to the Chinese and Russians, and even seeking asylum in those countries points to him just being a traitor, not a whistleblower. If he were truly concerned with whistleblowing, he would have just done the stuff that the guys who made the Clinton Chronicles documentaries did, which is risk his life collecting evidence and THEN issue that information to the GOP, or any person he found trustworthy enough to issue the information and bring them to justice. Those guys at least risked their lives, many even paying the full price, just to expose the crimes Clinton did. And they didn’t even get our enemies involved either via an alliance.
Hi.
Normally, in a sane world, Manning and Snowden should be executed, and Assange a sanctioned hit (pick a country).
Now I’m not so sure.
