I had began archiving the /news and /newest because a lot of the Wikileak threads I was upvoting were disappearing into the ether . Seems they were getting mass-flagged/killed, this one survived.

From a Swedish perspective the Julian Assange case is particular close to the heart since it really shows how corrupt even our courts and politicians are. Sweden is rated as one of the countries with the lowest corruption but still 6 years have passed without even interviewing him for the pathetic accusations.

Instill a fear may be. Demonstrate their power to kill at will and their willingness to do so. Prevent outing of more truths about the Silicon Valley-Washington DC alliance. Meh.

Let the downvotes begin… :)
