Blinker flat out lied to Australia about what Julian Assange did. Disgusting…
Manning walked free.
… two of the three people here could call out Blinken’s BS, his statement went unchallenged in Australia… easily done in a country were journalism is as rare as an albino Tasmania Devil…
Blinken needs to be charged for aiding & profiting from genocides around the world!
This is the man that needs to be hunted down & removed from society
Free Assange now !
Finally, we hear from his home country.
This person has not looked at his adminstration.
If a journalist uncovers human rights crimes and names the perpetrators, then he is a criminal; Exactly THIS is the moral of the elitist powers of the USA including their mendacious and criminal government
Max has debunked Blinken's statements on Assange.
Hunter Biden & the BIG GUY have done a lot worse then Julian Assange ever did….. Hunter & Joe Biden have compromised USA & received hundreds of millions of $$$ and are still walking free & living in luxury whilst the BIG GUY is playing a president of USA….. WHY ARE THEY NOT I JAIL YET?
What Blinken calls 'classified' is in fact war crimes exposed by a journalist.
The US will fight China to the last Australian, just like they are fighting Russia to the last Ukranian.
Free Assagne, please 🙏
He's done nothing wrong.
We want Julian Assagne back in Australia 🇦🇺
He is an Australian citizen.
Well Julian is Australian , Lira is US citizen so when you send your braindamaged "diplomat" Blinken to the world to ask support for your murderous regime maybe think twice why we want nothing to do with your "foreign diplomacy" and would rather fight you than China and Russia.
Why do we support the yanks then.
Blinken is a tool, and he lies through his teeth.
Blinkin…. What a jagg off
LET HIM GO FREE
He is a hero – it completes the distrust we have for Biden, blinkin and the rest of the lizards of oz
As usual, "The Hill" platforms the likes of Max Blumenthal, disgustingly anti-American, who apparently would rather Australia be a Chinese colony over having some help from America. Some people's actions prove that they are just idiotic.
He was a reporter and revealed U.S. atrocities.
Julian Assange is wanted by the US under Espionage Act charges that carry a maximum sentence of 175 years’ imprisonment.
Whilst Australian Governments may claim they are having have quiet chats, maybe a carefully worded communiqué, but they will never even put a single element of the Australia-US relationship on the line for Julian’s freedom.
End of that story, till Julian Assange is behind bars in the US the left and the Australian Geens will insist that the Free Assange fiasco continue
Its funny that I can comment on the issue here because All media in Australia are turned off for comments, no freedom of speech, total domination of corrupted senators and warmongers while migrants are facing unseen racism, torture and humiliation living in misery… Australian natural resources are sold out together with its sovereignty looooong time ago for benefit of huge corporations and corrupted politicians while voiceless ordinary people read migrants are sinking into unseen misery… that is Australia seen by a migrant thats been exposed to racism, total neglect and torture with no institutions to turn to to protect civil and human rights… that is rich Australia TODAY and as an american puppet is normal not to take action to free Assange… enough is enough is not enough poor puppet/vassal of PM…
Killing freedom as usual
Whos blinken talking about risking, what kind if risking?
the military idustrial blackrock complex wants to profit from war and fraud, causing death and destruction for the masses all over the place. they use propaganda and lies because people dont want war. thats the gist of julians message i think and they keep him locked because theyre not done with wars yet.
what is the Aukus alliance?
čo je na tom nedemokratické keď niekto neveri náboženske dogme 😮
That’s the way to start a dictatorship. Well done Biden.
the only criminals here are the americans going after assange ffs time to let it go they have failed everytime they have tried to get him
simple solution to it is let australia extradite him back make him serve a prison term with the condition he is never allowedaccess to computers and the internet for the rest of his life
honestly america thinks it can bully any country to get what they want their a parasite on the rest of the world
amercas security must be pathetic lol this is the second time someones hacked them
why dont they invest in better security
Julian Assange is a threat to the neoconservative liberals. Both the extreme right and left. These are the people Dr. Shiva Ayyaduai was referring to, Trump, and RFK Jr. are both very much a part of the establishment…
Notice how he hedges his languagge with words like ALLEGED and RISKED HARM. We have nothing on Assange. He's couldn't even be a traitor if accused of it because he's from elsewhere and owes the USG nothing.
Australia is a founding member of the “51st State Club”
What did assange do?…
EmbarSsed someone?
How come the person, Chelsea Manning, who stole the actual dicuments has been pardoned by Obama. Yet the person who acted as an editor, just like the NY Times does daily, is being persecuted. Shame on the US.
Correct, Max, Australia is a puppet state of the US.
Spell out Mr Blinken what crime Julian Assange has committed on US soil and what RIGHT do you have to export YOUR version of laws? Do YOU let other countries export their laws to your country! FREE THIS GUY , instead, arrest the men in the helicopter gunship who were caught on video and audio gunning down innocents in Bahgdad……….why aren't you doing that? FREE THIS MAN WHO IS INNOCENT AND STOP EXPORTING YOUR LAWS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT YOURS!
I think a referendum on freeing Julian Assange in Australia should be held so the USA understands the feelings!
68 MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT have now signed a declaration to the US Government for them to FREE Julian Assange, this is the measure of them being a defacto US military colony!
Witch hunts on journalism Time for change!
