> Yes western governments are totally full of shit too, the proof of this is that Julian Assange is still being crucified for leaking information, for being a whistle blower.

That’s just not true. Many leakers and whistle blowers aren’t prosecuted every year.

Julian Assange is a pretty transparent Russian asset and has been for a number of years. There’s a reason he never leaks anything that is negative of Putin. Meanwhile if it’s anti-American he leaks it in full without taking any standard journalist precautions.

Of course he can pull the “I’m just a journalist bro” card, but the act is over and his time is up.
