If he was a freedom fighter that was only interested in getting information out to the people, he would have released all this information weeks ago before they cut off his internet. By parceling it out over the course of October as we get closer and closer to the election, makes him appear more and more like a political player and dissident with an axe to grind...and probably isn't winning him friends at the Embassy.
There is a big difference between "the government is keeping information from the people and they need to know it right now" and "I have information that I think the people need to know about specific things that I support. But I'm going to wait until the right time and place, as determined by me, to release it."
Seriously! With all the folks being called shills on this thread, it's amazing anyone needs a real job anymore. Apparently we're all on the payroll of Big Corporation Inc.
So do tell. How is it that you are OK with Assange deciding to not release information he has but you're not OK with the government withholding that same information? Either the public has a right to know or they don't, right?
p.s. Seriously. If he gets silenced now before he releases the "important information" he has only himself to blame for sitting on it for all this time "waiting for the right time" to release it. Suck it up buddy. Dump your political agenda and publish whatever you've got. Every day he doesn't he exposes himself for the pathetic political wanna-be he really is.
If Assange were the freedom fighter and the champion of information freedom that he claims to be, he would have already released any and all information he had rather than parceling it out to serve his own agenda.
The very idea that he has a "dead-man's switch" to me blows any and all credibility he has as some kind of freedom fighter for the people's right to information. If he has information he isn't releasing, he's just as bad as the government he rails against...he's just replacing a government that thinks you shouldn't know X, Y, and Z with an A** holed up in an embassy who thinks you shouldn't know it. Every time he delays releasing something until a given date, it just makes him appear like another guy with a political agenda hiding behind a banner of righteousness. If the issue was ever really about getting all information out there, he would have put it all out there already.
And don't give me the "he hasn't released things that he realizes will cause real harm or damage to innocent people because he really cares about those people." He already has released things that had no political or informative value but which nevertheless exposed private and personal information about plenty of folks.
"If they were liberal then they'd let people make their own choices and not impose government restrictions and edicts on everything.
Do not confuse liberty with anarchy. Freedom does not mean no government at all. The difference is between consensual action and non-consensual action.
For example, if I point a gun at someone's head and tell them to give me something that is something the government has a right and responsibility to act upon. However, if I talk to someone and ask them for something and they consensually provide it, then the government has no right to influence that situation unless its willing to breach individual rights."
Riiiight. Conservatives never impose government restrictions or edicts on anything. And they always respect private and consensual agreements between private parties.
p.s. Your statement about breaking one law leading to breaking other laws is a rephrasing of the resoundingly controversal "Broken Windows" theory of social order. I wouldn't cite it as fact...
I once got the exact same thing from eBay once...

Indeed. Who the hell? Her speaking fees are so unreasonably high compared to everyone else in the world, surely the only answer is corruption and bribery. Pull your head out. http://qz.com/441327/yes-hilla... http://www.inquisitr.com/22032...
