I don't think Assange hates the US - hes not that petty. We hate some things that the US does. Like killing innocents on an Iraqi street and supporting a coup in the Ukraine.

Assange gave the public information that an honest press would have made available. Most Americans wouldn't even have heard of Yemen - let alone know that the US gov is supporting a war there.

The Position of the Australian Prime Minister is to
SERVE THE USA, regardless from which Party they come from.
The Position of the Australian Governor-General is to
SERVE THE UK, regardless from which Party they come from.
The UK serves the USA in Europe and does its dirty work.

Julian Assange will be snuffed out from existence - gone in a mystery of smoke that even Wiki-Leaks can't uncover or reveal.

Assange will become a Matyr to the Australian People.

That would be a terrible crime and one that would weigh heavily on the conscious of the Australian people.

Assange will be made an example of - for the USA to show that even Australians are not above 'their' Law. Even the UK follows the USA more than it does its fellow Europeans (such is Brexit).

Assange will be treated like a Spy and an enemy of the State. He won't be executed, he will be imprisoned 'forever' and forgotten.

Trump likes Assange. Assange showed the world how corrupt Hillary Clinton was.

Maybe Trump will soften the blow for Assange?

He's like a slave who has won the crowd in the Colosseum. Caesar would like to stick his thumb up and have him nuked but it would cause unrest. He'll either get a good deal or do 50 years. It's going to make interesting viewing.

The press may in private admire Assange but certainly he does not enjoy positive coverage in the media.

The elite like to work without the risk of being exposed by whistle blowers.

Exactly.

What I find alarming is that people will attack assange and use the "raised by his mom, hates america" as a way of running the man down....or trying to run him down anyway.

So he was raised by a loving mother and, well, he loves his mother.....And managed to keep a good relationship with her. Now this makes someone not credible? WTF? School yard bullies would try shyte like this. These same people, i feel, would have no problem attacking a shyte mother for not caring for her kid/s.

So he hates America?
Is that all of America? Or is it just some things that the American gov has undertaken in its very confidential and secretive history. A gov that has murdered its own president, its own people, a gov that has lied to the world, created wars for its own benefit, made up stories so it can invade and kill any country it sees fit, a gov so corrupt that it will delete anyone who questions their actions, a gov that has had so many questionable actions that most are to afraid to ask questions for fear of "disappearing", a gov that will hide its actions from the world until the truth is presented....Then it will chase the person who presented the truth and use its media to degrade, slander, ruin any form of credibility the person had. Yeah....the land of the free my arse.

I hate America for the same reasons and I would stand beside assange proudly, not as an Australian but as a truth seeker.

It would be nice if he stayed that way. I greatly admire much of what he did in the early days. Maybe now without him, Wikileaks can get back to its roots.
