"Now somebody correct me if im wrong"

You are wrong, allow me to correct you.

Stating you will defend yourself if attacked is not terrorism, to even imply such a thing is ridiculous

Uh, what did anyone ever think was meant by the insurance file in the first place?

The only thing different about this is the language is more direct.
He's said the cables, the BP investigation papers, and something else (sorry I can't remember it right now) are in the insurance files.

This probably wouldn't happen if they were not backing his butt to the wall and self preservation was kicking in.
Can't say I'd not do the same thing.

When people try to blow the whistle like this, they are usually dead before they can open their mouths....and you are upset that this guy has a method to keep from being eliminated or imprisoned??

The government is always right.

He is a terrorist.

Obey!

Its a threat he made. He is scared, I understand him.
They have threatened Assange, much more than he threats them. They said he should be killed and what not.

So...for us to get the real leaks...he needs to die or be arrested?

Funny...I thought Wikileaks was supposed to be leaking these docs anyways.

MM

I think this is a bluff. To date, NOTHING wikileaks has released has been of any value.

Wow, stuff goes on in war that PC America knew, but didnt discuss? SHOCKING

Wow, politics have opinions of people, and sometimes its not pretty? SHOCKING

Wow, war happens and there are alterior motives? SHOCKING


Everything released by WL has been a 0 of 10 on the "history changing" scale.. so him saying he'd release this or that, if I was the US Govt, I wouldnt be worried, Id kill him.

So, the government has a choice: Death by a Thousand Cuts, or an IED...

How exactly is either choice palatable to TPTB? If Obama claims the power to assassinate an American citizen without trial, why would Assange think anything he does - aside from shutting down Wikileaks - will make him safe.

The dude's F'd (and pretty stupid IMO.)

and what counts as a terroist these days? Someone who has your oil? or someone who threatens to disrupt the way you live, its not my oppinion its the way the goverment thinks.

I wonder if Assange has an implanted chip that will detect if his heart has stopped and remotely send an email to other members to "Activate Reston 6." At which point the password will be given out.

Is anyone actually surprised by this?
Anyone in their right mind, if actually holding extremely damaging and viable information that is valuable to
huge entities, would protect themselves in this way.
This is a classic move.

If you dont know what a terrorist is, maybe you should stop using the word

That goes for the US Government too

Does it really matter what is in the insurance file?

Everybody I have talked to outside of ATS either thinks that he should be arested, or they just don't care. Nobody I have talked to that has heard about this stuff cares. They just keep right on keeping on.

So does it matter what he has up his sleeve? We need to be real honest. 99% of the people on ATS aren't going to do anything with or about the information. So what makes us think that the rest of the "sheeple" will do a damn thing?

This isn't the end of TPTB. This is going to be the darkest and most pathetic hour of human history, most likely. People will turn a blind eye as the governments continue to squeeze the life out of them. They will not pull their faces out of Oprah's rear, or their new smart phone, untill they are standing behind barbed wire and starving. You might get a few riots in Europe, but only if they start eradicating hand outs.

Europe has allready given it self over to CCTV cameras on the corners and laws telling them they have no right to self defense. They have allowed parliments tell them they can not speak in denial of the holocaust, and let them ban journalist as well as pundits. So, will they really stand up to tyranny? I say, not in this generation.

Wikileaks is great in theory, but it is too little and way to late.
