I still can't believe he has been there for 7 years.
He knows what's is waiting for him in US prisons. A lifetime of legalized torture

There were all sorts of reports that he was a pretty taxing guest as well. Cleaning, hygiene, etc.
Clearly propaganda, and there was only the single source that as we can clearly see now was adversarial.

If nothing else, his persistence has been fairly impressive. I'm still bitter that he became so thoroughly partisan, though. Especially since his organization has or had the motto: "to publish fact-based stories without fear or favour".
I mean, it's possible that he's lost his mind during the 7 years of imprisonment without trial.
The leaked chat logs don't sound like he's lost his mind

Consistent with many descriptions of what it was like to have Assange on one's sofa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le3jrp6LzjI

>Especially since his organization has or had the motto: "to publish fact-based stories without fear or favour". I honestly can't believe why anyone thought this after he published the first thing that put Wikileaks on the map, the embarrassing Collateral Murder video. It's funny because before that came out, I considered donating money to Wikileaks because I thought it'd be more like an organization like Wikipedia.…
Wikipedia is extremely biased.

He lives in a diplomatic compound that he is free to leave at any moment. He's gone without trial by choice. The real victims here are the poor Ecuadoran diplomatic staff, and his ex-cat.
Oh, and his victims, of course.

It’s disingenuous to imply he’s being held against his will in violation of his human rights when in fact the UK government has gone to great lengths to get him to show up to a criminal investigation, and his appeals in the courts were entirely ordinary.

I thought I read something about his cat shitting everywhere too, which was revealing as a cat companion myself. How rude.
