Arguably, he’s the world’s most wanted man. Hated by governments, loved by the common man, Julian Assange seems determined not to go down without a fight. He’s been falsely accused of date rape, espionage, and subverting foreign governments, including the United States.
However, if you ask him, he’ll tell you he’s a journalist who believes governments should be held accountable for their actions. And in his latest Twitter rant, you’ll see why. He takes on his critics and those who want him dead, head on.
On CNN former CIA claims that I am a "pedophile". Quality work from the folks that gave us Iraq, Libya..
Addressing his rape charges he tweeted Thursday, “The government of Sweden continues to be in breach of the UN’s findings in Assange v Sweden.” He attached a video clip of Christophe Peschoux, spokesperson for the UN’s expert panel investigating Assange. In it, Peschoux called for the UK and Sweden to restore to Assange his liberty and compensate him for the unwarranted charges of rape against the world’s most famous journalist.
“I love journalism. It’s so accurate and professional. War, peace and the fate of millions ride on it. We’re all in such good hands. Wow!” he tweeted implying it’s not journalists who are starting wars, displacing millions, and leaving a trail of dead in their wake. It’s governments, powerful ones who are willing to go to war over lies about who’s gassing whom.

It's interesting how a few years ago Assange would have been an investigative journalist for exposing the truth. Now he's an activist. The sooner this BS society implodes the better.

Stop it! the last piece of decent journalism exposed Watergate, the government haven't grown wings and become angels since then. They have become so corrupt that any one who is a threat is killed. When Corporations get into bed with the Government you have a fascist state. Which will inevitably end badly.
I thought he said he would turn himself in to US authorities regarding Mannings sentence being commuted. What happened there?

Hi, thanks for the interesting post
I have a question (to any member really) about 'activistpost' and their list of resources?
What's the general concensus about their reliability? I've never seen, or heard of activistpost before. And was hoping to supply some 'trustworthy' news sources to a couple of older people who say the Internet is all lies, and how do you know what news is real or fake. Thanks in advance.
