    In short: I agree with you, particularly on a point that is dear to my research.

    They best way to stop behaviour deemed undesirable is to remove the desire.

    The war on drugs: Stop addiction.

    Influx of undocumented humans: Make America a shot hole country.

    Sex trafficking, toy sales, pornography, workers, etc.: Make people unhorny.

    Gun control: Make ownership unnecessary.

    The solid solution to many issues is on the demand side.

    Make the demand go away, and the problem is solved.

    The only way to win is not to play.

    Perhaps you are correct.

    You and I learned a long time ago that there are no nude photos of Anna Kournikova, and that we didn't send a package via UPS that will never arrive unless we click on the link to fix the invoice.

    Apparently, a shit load of people, including those in governments, never learned that.

    I don't know if it's ignorance, stupidity or apathy, but it's a shame.

    You haven't bothered to monitor this.

    Assange deliberately avoided associating himself with the actual data.

    His title was, simply, "Spokesman for WikiLeaks".

    Otherwise he'd have been arrested immediately for possessing stolen property and none of this complicated shit would be in play.

    I'm agreeing with you, but have more to add:

    There were two women.

    One said he raped her but she later revealed that she did, indeed, express a liking for rough sex.

    The other woman only wanted to talk to Assange to inquire as to whether he had any sexually transmissible diseases, because a rubber broke.

    That woman self-tested and was found to be OK.

    Both women dropped the charges.

    Sweden, on its own volition, issued an arrest warrant for Assange on the premise that they wanted to question him.

    He said, "Fine. Let's meet and talk."

    Sweden ordered him to come back there.

    Fearing a trap, Julian declined.

    Nah.

    I've been following this saga since day one.

    The Sweden rape shit was worked out and all parties agreed to let it go.

    The UK has him on outstanding warrants for failure to appear.

    --

    Assange sunk to low levels way before the 2016 election cycle.

    He's got an exaggerated sense of self appreciation and he's in over his head.

    He has plans to claim immunity because he's a "publisher," and protected by way of freedom of the press.

    Adversaries have lawyered up and point out that Assange has repeatedly claimed to be simply the spokesperson for WikiLeaks, and is in no way the custodian of any stolen intelligence.

    It will be interesting to see what develops.

    Those close to Assange say "they are piling on the pressure," so, for now, it's a fact not in evidence.

  16. Thanks for clearing that up. I just entered the rabbit hole and, so far, I'm learning a lot about the viral Equador vs Ecuador controversy, and zip shit about anything else.

    It's a problem because people are not going to move away from social media.

    Instead of avoidance, we need education.
