The false left vs. right paradigm has been used and abused in the United States for years, and yet in 2017, there is still a sense among Americans that there is actual difference between liberals and conservatives.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange called out the hypocrisy on Twitter by using one of the issues both Democrats and Republicans seem to agree on—the call for his assassination.
Assange began the Tweet storm over the weekend, with a Tweet that said “Hello snowflakes,” and then went on to note that he will focus on “some censorship double standards,” such as the “threats to kill” he has received on Twitter.
“I don’t think people should threaten to kill others, but I don’t think companies should be in the game of determining what is a threat and what is not because any such system will be played by those with greater access to the internals of the system,” Assange wrote.
Hello snowflakes. I will do a small tour now of some censorship double standards that I have a deep personal experience of, namely…

Assange then went on to describe the “system” run within social media platforms such as Twitter, in which “biases about how close to the in-group that runs the censorship system the complainer is and their relative social standing of the complainant.”
Comparing the process on Twitter to the process that is seen in the modern day “justice system,” Assange noted that both can lead to the same result because it typically happens that “those people who need justice the most are the least likely to get it.”

Assange then posted a link to a video showing a compilation of politicians referring to him as a “terrorist” after he received asylum from Ecuador, and began living at the Ecuadoran Embassy in London in 2012.
From former Vice President Joe Biden, to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell—both Republicans and Democrats alike seemed to be reading the same script as they called Assange a “criminal,” a “high-tech terrorist,” and an individual who should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Assange went on to reference Hillary Clinton’s infamous “Can’t we just drone this guy?” comment, that was made when she was the head of the State Department. At the time, Assange and WikiLeaks were threatening to release a trove of documents referred to as “CableGate.”
These confidential cables would give insight into the internal communications within the State Department, leaving officials such as Clinton in search of a way to stop Assange and his organization for good.

Assange then turned to the mainstream media—an entity that has worked hand in hand with the U.S. government to demonize Assange for releasing credible information to the public.
The list included a Tweet from Politico’s Michael Grunwald in August 2013, saying that he “can’t wait to write a defense of the drone strike that takes out Julian Assange,” and a Washington Times Op-Ed from Jeffrey Kuhner calling for Assange’s assassination in December 2010.
“Julian Assange poses a clear and present danger to American national security,” Kuhner wrote. “The WikiLeaks founder is more than a reckless provocateur. He is aiding and abetting terrorists in their war against America. The administration must take care of the problem—effectively and permanently.”

Assange proceeded to add “#TolerantLiberal” when re-tweeting a torrent of posts calling for his assassination. Out of the nearly 30 Tweets Assange shared, several were then deleted by the original user.

The thing to remember is that Assange gained both international attention and international scrutiny for releasing thousands of classified documents that revealed U.S. soldiers killing and torturing innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. By showing Americans the reality of the war crimes that are being committed by their military and funded by their tax dollars, Assange did the public a service that most politicians and mainstream media pundits would never dare to do.
The issue of the sanctity of innocent life is one that should cross “party lines,” and should be of the utmost importance. However, the fact that both liberals and conservatives have united together for a number of years to call for the assassination of the man who has risked his live to reveal the truth to the public, says everything about the fact that there is no true difference between the “left” and the “right.”

Hey Blue579, give the folks the low down on Julian.
Well, Howdy EJ.
I’m hoping a lot more people know something is very fishy about Assange. Lots of bad moss on this shoes, though it’s hard to beat his rude dismissal of 9/11 Truth, saying he “gets annoyed at false conspiracies such as 9/11”. His lack of interest in the plight of Andrea Davison, a whistleblower who was also seeking asylum in Ecuador is also a red flag, imo. Davison was privy to the same kind of information that got whistle blower Dr. David Kelly “suicided” over the lies involving Iraq’s supposed WMDs.
Lots more but I’ll keep it simple for today. 😉 Thanks for the prod.
Thanks, I recall in your dissertation version he was brought up in a comune or something?
Here it is. Weird stuff but I have never seen it challenged. Life is stranger than fiction and this CIA MK Ultra LSD connection is freaky.
“When Julian was 8-years-old, his mother, Christine, married a member of “The White Brotherhood” – aka “The Family” or Santiniketan Park Association, a private psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of Melbourne Australia.
In the 1960’s-1980’s, the Santiniketan Park Association received CIA-Sandoz LSD-25 [MK Ultra LSD experiments]. The psychiatric hospital was part of a New Age colony with about 200 members.”

Bingo, that’s my Jenny. Thanks.
The guy who believes Jews are behind every evil? “. Cabalist Jewish world Tyranny?
I no longer respect Assange but the stench of anti-
Semitism is not the reason why. You Jew haters are tight, aren’t you?
Look up the word *Semite*. It does not mean what you think it means.
Ruff is a troll …don’t waste your time..(imo)
That’s a troll, friend. No substance, just kneejerk reaction.
I know what it means. Let’s just change it to anti-Jewish.
Egregious mendacity and use of straw man tactic. Did I mention Assange’s religion or ethnicity? Not my interest or focus. Though there’s some irony in the fact that Makow is the same ethnicity YOU are apparently focused on. As was the late great Aaron Russo and Aaron Swartz. Also, James Perloff on his father’s side and many others bravely speaking truth to power.
But then you have nothing to say about Assange rudely dissing 9/11 Truth.
Your vacuous accusations are full of rage and fury signifying nothing.
I say nothing in a brief post about 99.99% of issues. I regret that Assange, Scahill, and others have refused to challenge the official narrative of 9/11. I no longer respect Assange as an objective exposer of secrets since he took a critical role in the last election, helping to elect the reckeless misfit Trump, who now threatens to take us into WWII by attacking allies of Russia.
My accusations are actual reportingof facts; they are full of factual substance, devoid of anything but moral rage, and signify an independent mind behold to no one and no dogma.
Will you join me in rejecting the anti-Jewish bigotry of many acitivist posters. Bigotry is the enemy of liberty, wouldn’t you agree?
It’s odd: even when I agree with you, you attack and find new paths of angry condemnation, projecting your own feelings onto me. When we stand with the facts and reject violence, of deed and word, we are peaceful tho full of passion for justice.
Dale Ruff to Blue579 — in case you edit your response here is what you said : “You Jew haters are tight, aren’t you?”
You called me a Jew hater, that is a lie. Clearly I am not and judge people by the content of their character and their actions, period.
The race card is something you SPLC types love to play.
You arrived on the scene calling us ignorant right wing conspiracy nuts. Typical and hypocritical stereotyping on your part when we dare to question the official “climate change” narrative and discuss our concerns over chemtrails / geoengineering. You attack us for questioning the vaccine paradigm. When you and your “friends” get no traction on these issues you opt to support cointelpro narratives by lashing out when I provide evidence Wikileaks is an intelligence operation.
Here hear!…Hear here!
You are quoting henry makow, a robust Jew-hater.
I am citing information about Julian Assange’s apparent ties to a eugenic’s cult that I have never seen challenged or refuted. I’m am interested in the facts, not the personalities – same with all media.
The Bushes and Clinton crime families have participated in the genocide of millions of human beings in the contrived war on terror – via the horrific false flag that was 9/11 and more. If I use a statement they made for historical background that doesn’t mean I approve of them.
You are splitting hairs, Dale. You should be more concerned Assange grew up involved with a white supremacist cult with ties the CIA’s MK Ultra program. The Director of Santiniketan Park Association was Anne Hamilton-Byrne, a theosophist (Occultist) predicting a global holocaust. > > The practice of programming someone to be an agent is exactly what the evidence shows happened to Sirhan Sirhan in the RFK assassination. Research psychiatrist and US govt mind control researcher Dr. Jolyon West whose clients included Jack Ruby, Patty Hearst, Sirhan Sirhan, and Timothy McVeigh.
Assange and Wikileaks = intelligence assets. Dr. Michel Chussodovsky and Dr. Webster Tarpley have presented powerful supporting evidence.
“I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies like 9-11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies for war & mass financial fraud”[sic]
….Sounds like a ‘Ringer’ to me …considering the obfuscatory meaningless misleading dance he’s done with this ‘annoying’ comment of his…which ‘Out’s’ him perfectly!… So go on …put your other foot in your sappy mouth Judas…. errr..Julian! ….Maybe soon you’re due for an Oscar? …or the Nobel Prize?… for most convincing ‘snake oil’ charlatan role embroiled in the world wide orchestrated Kabuki Theater of the Absurd …along with your Rothschild liar/lawyers (lol)…soon to be the new media darling, as you attend your elite parasite book circuit lectures & book signings… finally reaping the $$$millions promised you by the 0.001% ‘Shadow Masters’
Glad you took a little break for some mental rest because it’s a beautiful thing to read your brilliant high charged laser precision blasting insightful critiques & rants! Back in form and wonderful to see you here, Eddy!
Considering the social pain and humiliation, and financial, legal, and physical targeting whistle blowers endure (and others speaking truth to power), it’s a travesty a fake leaking operation is pawned off on all of us. Worse is Assange dissing a movement that worked to stop the illegal wars and genocide in the middle east by exposing the 9/11 Big Lie.
It is Kabuki Theater. Sadly, most of the sheeple fall for it.
I know more about the WMD Story.
from multiple directions. The Truth is
Something Different Again.
But No Time Today.
Take Care,
RR.
Always more layers of the onion to peel. I actually expect it at this point, RR. Thanks.
Julian is most likely in the same catagory as Alex Jones and Steve Quayle, a limited hangout….JA and SQ are Zionists
Yes indeed. Odd how close associates around Assange come to unlikely deaths while the maestro plays on. Did they learn something they were not supposed to? As someone noted the other day if they wanted Assange out of the Ecuador embassy so they could nab him all they would have to do is set off the fire alarm.
Exactly, you hit the bullseye.
You’re always keenly perceptive ICFubar. Good to see you around.
Someday if you’re so inclined and not already familiar with it you might want to consider visiting Black Listed News. BLN has a bit of a wild west atmosphere to it compared to A.P. or Wa. Blog. On the flip side, there’s a fair number of smart like minded folks hanging around or wandering through sharing insight in impromptu open source think tank mode. Cheers. Blue
blue, BLN is on my blog role though I admit I haven’t spent a lot of time there or delved very much into the comment section at all but on your advice and description I need to take a longer and closer look. Cheers as you are ahead of most of us in your play by play analysis.
Is a Matrix within a Matrix equal to a matrix squared?
The Assange soap opera continues and all the world is a stage for the banksters.
No, it’s log base n of M or natural log of M
Sounds right. Whatever it is, it’s a huge mind job. A synthetic “awake” alternative carefully crafted with the likes of A.J. rising to prominence after William Cooper was murdered (Cooper was the real deal.)
Yep, William Cooper was the real deal. AJ is a zionist qnd a limited hangout. AJ’s reation when the UN put sanctions on Israel, is all the evidence one needs. That’s the one good thing Obama did before he left office….not vetoing the United nations sanctions on Israel’s land stealing policies
Did you notice the alt sphere hardly covered Obama’s effective transfer of the internet to the UN via ICANN? The MSM (in particular, Wall Street Journal) reported China is poised to takeover much or most of the management of net for the UN, estimated to be worth Trillions in data collection alone. A huge rally cry across alt and an energized battle like the one the late Aaron Swartz led should have erupted. Once we lose a freely open net we’ll all be blind.
I know, Alex Jones’s site has already blocked me. I can’t access any of the comment sections of infowars articles. I go there to to talk about the Zionists. I don’t give them any thing to censor me legitimately with…no foul language, no attacks on anyone. And I don’t mention “jews” any time. Just too much truth gets me censored.
Yep, exactly too much truth. A little over a year ago I was on Jones’ site scanning comments to get a feel for how brain washed the readers were becoming. I saw and read a brand new comment as it was posted in real time and then POOF it instantly disappeared. It was insightful with no inappropriate language whatsoever.
I’ve been to blacklisted news. Russia Insider is almost censor free and they allow you to talk about the Rothchild Kazarian mafia all you want. Plus many posters there are very awake. You can even use foul language and you wont be censored.
Isn’t that sad that a Russian outlet has much more freedom of speech than American alternative media does?
Glad you found an open forum that works for you. I spend a lot of time following the money (massive capital flows), arm flows, treaties, banking, and progress in the UN Agendas and I’m certain Russia has been captured by the NWO. Russian elites are in on the elaborate ruses and Kabuki theater as is China. Which makes perfect sense if you trace the long history of the deep capture of Russia and China and how the Soviets conspired with western elites to launch the UN wars (“police actions”) in Korea and Vietnam as demonstration wars for the UN. (James Perloff did an excellent job fleshing this out in detail with meticulous documentation). Remember Orwell’s faux rival clashing superstates in 1984?
It’s more divide and conquer, order-out-of-chaos, and mass distraction to run out the clock. Then one day we all find ourselves in a dehumanizing global Fascist-neoBolshevist Technocratic heII chipped and tracked and inventoried 24/7. Which is exactly what’s happening everywhere and it’s all intertwined at the pyramid cap (follow the money & mergers). If only we could reach a critical mass of awakening, shake off the parasites like a horse shaking off flies.
Absolutely….rendering the 99% sleep-walkers… blind & dumb…compartmentalized into little fractals or regional islands of simulacra ‘sameness’…& without the knowledge or capability of seeing the whole of the gestalt zeitgeist ‘awareness’ of the BIG Pic & comprehending how the BiG Pic is actually formed,ergo: revealing how it all comes together…essentially the 99% are enslaved in the boiler room of the Ship of State & stuck in the sweltering heat below deck…shoveling coal …while the 1st Class ‘Guests’…live a life of catered luxury on the top deck….oblivious to the hardships endured by the slave-class sweating it out in the bowels of the ship.
Ain’t that the truth!
We need a TRUE Left movement such as (hopefully) led by Jeremy in the UK and Sinn Fein in Ireland; especially against the two leading NA*O regimes, US and Germany – which are becoming dominantly powerful in global politics.
In the US; the ever predatory warmongering ZioNa*i-controlled Conserv-Lib Democ hidden alliance is really evil whilst in Germa*y, all the Left’s top leadership has been infiltrated by the ZioNa*is! Thus US & Germany need a real LABOUR party!
See the Bible’s Revln 13, about the wild BEAST with ten horns and seven heads, arising out of the sea – the coming conquest of the 5 major world oceans are the key! That’s why ZioNazi-controlled NA*O [which has been marching for the creation of ZNWO Beast-Empire] is extremely dangerous!
The Rothchild Kazarian mafia are in control of most of the world. The few countries like Iran, Syria and North Korea aren’t controlled by them…..wait for it…….YET!!!!
The DNC has given liberalism a bad name over the past 30 years. Not so much because liberals are bad, as conservatives would have you believe, but because the DNC is neither liberal nor progressive. Other than the wedge issues, they are no different from Republicans. And now that the DNC has trashed, and maybe ruined, the Democratic Party, we are left with the self-righteous conservatives and their moron politicians. And if the last 4 or 5 decades are any indication, republicans will do just as much damage as democrats, if not more.
Anyone who threatens another person’s life is saying that he does not accept the Zero Aggression Principle and thus the philosophy that each individual owns his own life. He is saying he does not accept the concept that each individual has an absolute right to manage that life completely free of the forcible interference of others. He is saying that he does not accept the idea that no individual is the property of other individuals. He is saying that he believes, and will act on, the idea that at least one other individual is his property, to do with as he pleases, including initiating force against him and killing him. Of course, no one has any right to make such a decision about other people. He does, however, have a right to make it about himself. He first of all hands the right of self-defence – pre-emptively, if necessary – to the individual he threatened – no one is obliged to sit around waiting for someone who has said he’s going to kill him to get around to doing so. He secondly tells everyone else around him that he does not feel the need to interact with them in a civilized manner as one sapient, rights-bearing individual to another, but rather as a sub-sapient, predatory beast to potential prey. He thus hands to anyone else who wants it, for their own self-preservation, the RiGHT to kill him on sight. Hardly something that anyone with half a brain would want to do…
Thank you–and yet the number of people out there who evidently have half a brain or less is staggering.
Some alt-media site recently posted a story about a CIA agent convicted in Italy (and given a relative slap on the wrist btw), for kidnapping a muslim terrorism-suspect on Italian soil. All sorts of flag-waving Americans posted comments supporting the kidnapping. !? In their puny minds, it’s okay to shred the US Constitution AND violate international law, so long as you do it against people we don’t like. That’s some notion of jurisprudence they’ve got there…
Assange is a blow hard and has proved NOTHING, he runs his mouth and the sheeple fall for it.
Ignored by Assange is that he released the material on Clinton but is keeping the material he admitted to having on a Fox news interview, secret. Also ignored that Trump called for his execution. He has lost his credibility, once he intervened in the election and helped Trump gain power.

Mr Assange is confusing rinos with conservatives. Rinos are the republican wing of the nwo, they’re dems with an r after their name instead of a d. Rinos such as Paul Ryan. Mccain, the Bush clan, you get the idea. I can understand how Mr Assange will get this wrong as I’ve long suspected him of being a liberal as opposed to a freedom loving conservative or libertarian or whatever the freedom loving party is in his homeland.
How can there be a difference when they are all in the Knights of Malta or are brother Mason’s? They play a roll of being divided while united in secret societies with oaths above the US or constitutional ones. If you could find me 13 congress critters that aren’t in one of the societies, I would be shocked, shocked I tell you!
My fellow dear Americans,
Please wake up.
Please see what is right in front of you.
For example:
Julian Assange
Ju-lia-n-ass
Jew-Lying-Ass
They are shoving it right in front of our faces and yet still we refuse to see it!
A many will join me in denouncing this kind of bigotry? Blue, Eddie, the rest of you?
Thank you for putting your fascist bigotry out front.
Put a sock in it Ruff….the constant promulgation of abject specious disinfo is pathetic …revealing a time wasted quasi life of specious trivia.
..You’ve become irrelevant… as your aging synapses become increasingly ossified & sclerotic…throw in the towel & retire to pasture …while you still can, with at least some modicum of dignity… your sophistic & disingenuous ‘Archie Bunker’ platitudinal tape-loops …are on a never ending mobius strip of inanity.
You say you aren’t a Jew hater but you tell me to shut up when I ask how many accept the ugy bigotry of PleaseWakeupFellowAmericans. Hypocrit!
My mind is more agile than ever; you must resort to personal insults because that’s all you have.
Even when we agree on Assange, you feel compelled to sling it from the gutter. Pathetic! I live honesty,without fear, and with honor. Your insults reflect only on yourself, my friend.
I created an image depicting the false left right paradigm years ago, Have shown it to numerous people, and sent it to numerous people as well including some of the criminals in DC. Using the false left, right paradigm I created a broken circle, with the bottom closed and the top open with a small break between the right and left. At the TOP both the RIGHT and LEFT create a Dictatorship based on communism on the left and fascist dictatorship on the right. VERY CLOSE to each other, same ends, different reasons to get there. THE BOTTOM is limited Government with the Citizenry relishing in more self governance and freedom and liberty.
