Julian Assange is the closest figure we're going to get to a Christ figure, and we're blowing it If you're not willing to read this essay in entirety with an open mind, but comment your gut reaction on the headline, I ask you kindly to refrain as it won't help you, or me or anyone else reading the comments. There are literally thousands of other posts you can comment on.  Please humbly accept my apology in advance for offending your Christian sensibilities for comparing someone to Christ, and I ask in exchange you simply move along. Thank you. Julian Assange is the closest we're going to get in a Jesus Christ figure in our lifetime and our human species is blowing it. This is a test. We are blowing it, big time Julian Assange exposed criminals and is being tortured and imprisoned for it We cannot have a world where a person is imprisioned by criminals for exposing the criminals' crimes. Especially not, when they are singled out and treated very differently from other people who have exposed other people's crimes; while we claim to vanguard great principles of personal rights of free speech and press. We cannot throw those rights out because they embarrass the government. We cannot throw those rights out because a person exposed wrongdoing that undermines political power or authnority of the government. We also cannot throw out our values of giving someone a fair and speedy trial and a due process of law. People can argue "the UK is doing this" but that is false. The UK in this case of Assange, is acting a surrogate or proxy of the US. Vacate those extraditional charges and then the UK will look awfully silly if they continue to keep Assange in custody on no charges (like they are now). In the case of Assange, we've compromised the first amendment, the fourth amendment and due process protected by the western world over a thousand years before America even existed. Assange is now in prison for NO charges. He's being held simply because America told the UK to detain him so he would not flee from their jurisdiction, which ought to be his right, as someone who as served his UK sentences, which were minor following Swedish sentences which were vacated on the grounds that they were false, based on falsity, a hoax, a false claim. This claim was why Assange was seeking asylum in the first place. NOT the US charges. The UK is detaining him in order to retain the ability to extradite him to the US for espionage charges, that are not applicable whatsoever Assange published cables that were already available online. Assange published a video of the US military executing civilians with an air strike, unarmed civilians, including a child. This was a verified war crime. Chelsea Manning obtained the video and sent it to Assange where he published it. Assange is guilty of "journalism" How is Assange different from the Pentagon Papers? How is Assange different from the Panama Papers? How is Assange different from the ICJ community FINCEN scandal that just revealed the massive money laundering dragnet involving oligarchs around the world? OH it's because the CRIMINALS were US Military. The CIA. Hillary Clinton. That is why Assange published damaging Russia Cables that got THEIR officials in hot water. That is the first way you know that the "from Russia" narrative is false. They made the claim that Assange obtained the DNC emails from Russia AFTER he already published damaging Russia files. But that won't stop the Don Lemons of the world, because they are simply overpaid CIA actors with shit for brains. They cannot think. But more importantly they don't want YOU to think. Stupid Chris Cuomo (CNN anchor) said going to wikileaks was illegal. He actually said this. He thinks everyone in the US just fell off the turnip truck. The media has been lying to us about Wikileaks and Julian Assange for over 7 yrs now, but this time, their lies and sophistry and mischaracterization of the situation are killing a man in prison Assange is going to kill himself in prison. And it's going to be our fault, the medias fault, the CIA and even Trump's fault for this Trump has all the power in the world to TRY Assange in absentia and then pardon him and let him walk. Or just tell the UK to let him go. But he hasn't. Why not? What happened to "WIkileaks? I LOVE Wikileaks" Trump said this dozens of times in 2016. Is he a liar? Is he a psychopath? Is Trump under threat of assassination if he lets Assange go? Or have we read this situation all wrong? I can tell you that somewhere in the bible it says that Christ is known as "the truth and the way". Isn't Assange giving us the Truth? He told us that Hillary was a huge danger to humanity by showing us who she really is. a MASSIVE criminal. This is why she lost. She lost because of wikileaks. And Jesus Christ Info Pirate Assange is still up on the cross, being crucified daily. They put the man in a plexiglass box, and transport him 1.5 hours each way to court this week. I think about this, how this man has suffered and I myself want to die. I cannot imagine what he's going through. His psychiatrist says he is getting brain damage from drugs they are keeping him on (like an asylum from the early 1900s), and that he's having hallucinations. They're keeping him unfit to testify to save himself in court. He has good representation, his wikileaks lawyers but he himself would have been the best if he were compettent. Look inside yourself and consider how Assange could be Jesus, and why we should find this situation unacceptable even if you disagreed with his choices. No one should be treated this way. It goes against everythign America is supposed to stand for. I am not sure why President Trump is allowing this to happen but it's a big, solitary red mark in my book in the bad things column, compared to a long list of green checks on the other. Not to say Biden wouldn't be much worse (he would). Biden is hillary 2, a vote for the rogue deepstate cia, the people who are doing this. President Trump is just letting this happen when I believe he has the power to stop it. Why isn't he. Usually, I enjoy a good mystery. But this one hurts me in the pit of my stomach and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.
