Julian Assange To Write For Swedish Tabloid
An anonymous reader writes "Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has signed on as a columnist for Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet. Why such a move? Maybe there's something more to be found in Swedish law when you are employed by a newspaper." Here's an account in English, including a translation of the interview that forms part of the linked Aftenbladet article.

hpa: A tabloid? No. Here's what I really think is going on with your choice of words: I feel as if u havent really pushed yourself out of your comfort zone, I've read your comments for the past several weeks and u tend to be a quiet people pleaser and by quiet I mean that u do the bare minimum to keep the peace on Slash dot. What then happens is that u find yourself niether pleasing yourself, trolls, or anyone around u. I don't feel as if u have a strong definition of who u r and u tend to just accept what life throws at u, whilst it is a wonderful trait to embrace life, u go a little further than that and dont seem to realise that u can create the life u dream of. Your homosexuality and the wetness between your thighs are signs that I actually feel that u r bored and frustrated with your life, the wall u keep hitting again and again is a representation of u not being able to find a release, a sexual release inside another man's asshole, an escape if u like. Filled with cum. Our dreams r our subconcious guiding us to a grounded and loving existence, your subconcious/higher self/spirit is telling u to get out there and embrace life. Like the fag u are. Don't imprison yourself with fear, u cannot fail as every experience is a loving teacher, u will always grow and succeed with each erection viewing gay pdsm porn. Discover who u r and shake away your limitations as u would a limp penis shaking off ejaculate. Do not b so caught up in what society/other people/family will think. U r only responsible for your own actions and u have no one to answer to but yourself......................I WISH U A LIFE FILLED WITH ADVENTURE AND AWE............GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND. MY FAGGOT FRIEND.
The information the informants provided us also led to lost innocent lives. Are they despicable traitors with no common sense too?
What's it like, having no moral compass whatsoever? Do you actually comprehend what sort of people the Taliban are, and what they do to people who, for example, teach their daughters to read? An informant that's acting to undermine that brutal, medieval-minded, cruel theocracy and thugfest may indeed provide information that ends up getting some innocent person killed. But they're doing it to stop a movement that actively seeks to kill innocent people, and makes a public spectacle of doing so, on purpose, in the town square.
A faux journalist who loves media attention and fawning, politically-motivated fans is deliberately exposing information that is setting back the efforts to prevent the Taliban from once again running Afghanistan in their perverse model of Islamist insanity. I'm always amazed by people - especially those on the left who swear that women's rights are important to them - who think it's mean to "interfere" with a culture that's being subjected to the Taliban meat grinder.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Julian Assange is just like any other troll. He's an attention seeking wanker that attracts shit and he only gives a fuck for himself. The quicker someone plonks him in the killfile the sooner everyone else can get on with the hard WORK of making the world a better place.
Just because you're getting moderation points doesn't mean you're right. Julian Assange is no more than a troll and all your ranting is doing is just giving him more power. Neither he nor you will solve anything. In fact, you're probably driving people who can make a difference and people who do need help further away.
But carry on. Keep obsessing and feeding the vain egotistical schmuck. Keep giving him the power to dictate and jerk you around like a dog on a leash. Put him on a pedestal as an authority and praise his name like he's some new messiah. When you find out you've been wasting your time and people get hurt you might learn.
You can't change the world. You can only change yourself, and from some of the comments and bandwagoning in here none of you can even manage that. You have the certainty of ignorance and the caring of vanity. All of this is just heaping more ego on top of ego. When you see that you have the beginning of understanding. Until then it's just going to be same shit, different day.
I don't think that's ever been a problem for Julian in entire adult life. Do you really think the 100's of K in donations is nobly used only for his great cause? This guy isn't exactly taking public transportation and living is substandard housing. He is fond of telling people he 'has no home'; that he is essentially 'homeless'. However he travels the world to his so-called '4 bases', at his whim, all expenses paid by donors. Do you think he flies coach? He certainly does not live the austere, spartan lifestyle that he allows people to believe his does.
Reminds me of those beggars on the corner holding signs asking for money and saying 'god bless'. Looking closely you can see many of them have nice shoes and good teeth. When walking up to give them a few quid, you find they don't reek of filth (i.e. they bathe regularly) and have clearly shaved that morning. They have no callouses on their hands and are wearing a decent watch. It's all just a show to encourage support and funds.
His life story is all very dramatic, complete with hacker theism and running from dangerous cults. Of course, none of it can be really verified, but who needs that when you have a marketable personage, right? I've been looking into his background for some time, and the only thing I can even come close to verifying is his birthplace of Townsville, Australia (and even that I cannot completely verify without actually going to Australia). All the so-called facts are taken from interviewers who apparently just take Julian's fantastical stories at face value. I suppose it's conceivable that it's all true, but if he were standing up for a cause that was not such an egalitarian, "nothing hidden that will not be revealed" crusade, I am certain he would be known as a far more pedestrian and boring person.
A man once said "The inferior fight to be equal, and the equal fight to be superior.". I think Julian is working his way to the end of that truism.
Good thing we are not a Democracy then eh? You and your friends deciding which skate park to go to is a democracy,
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
Neither do I. And therein lies the rub...
The hoi polli have such a collective hard-on for this man that he genuinely can do no wrong. No matter what it is. No matter what proof. No matter what evidence.... He will always be seen as a 'victim of an evil system.' Even if he were to confess, his righteousness is now a ratified dogma. And not just for the nominal 'liberal' types. But for anyone with even a wisp of hatred for the US government (and as you know, there are millions).
His acolytes explode with orgasmic power every time another 'secret' is revealed. A video tape there, a hacked email account there...but they were never really secrets at all, were they? And they are revealed with such useful timing, are they not? Almost as if on cue....
Julian has all the trappings of a manufactured caricature. An celebrated imitation of a what amicus plebs plebis, sed magis amica veritas is really supposed to mean. Like the antithesis of Foxy Redstate, but not played for laughs. Personally I don't think Tom Clancy could create a more iconic, convoluted, one-dimensional character. It's a shame that such a clearly talented and charismatic man has chosen a life of faux drama and hucksterism. The US government (and I assume all others) have a vested interest in keeping its' citizens attention on the occasional 'leak' of unflattering information (genuine or not), rather then on the actual evils. The information propaganda clearing houses do as they are told and push out whatever needs be said to maintain the illusion of Julians' crusade for truth. All the while manipulating the puppet show and doing things so dark and wicked, no one would ever believe them..
