Published 2024-06-26
Julian Assange landed in Australia for the first time in more than a decade, following a guilty plea in a US court that allowed him to return to his home country a free man after serving time in a UK prison and holing up in an Ecuadorian embassy. The Wikileaks founder touched down in the capital city of Canberra on Wednesday evening after flying from the Northern Mariana Islands.

  • Grandes cosas pueden suceder para aquellos que creen en Dios. Estaba deprimido porque tenía una deuda de más de 12,000, pero a Dios sea la gloria, saldé mi deuda y sigo ganando para mí y mi familia. Dios bendiga a la Sra. Regina Maria Howard, Dios la ha usado para cambiar muchas vidas. 🇺🇸
  • FINALLY! A HERO RETURNS FROM FALSE IMPRISONMENTS!! THANK YOU Mr. ASSANGE!!! for your courage, principles, and knowledge shared with all!!

    My father in Cuba used to tell me this Quote from Bertolt Brecht and tell me you should never, ever give up, the moment you do, those who put you in that situation will win: "There are men who struggle for a day and they are good. There are men who struggle for a year and they are better. There are men who struggle many years, and they are better still. But there are those who struggle all their lives: These are the indispensable ones." Bertolt Brecht If my father were alive he will say WOW for the Bravery of Julian Assange ! I think that, men like Assange, have no fear at all, I think he will double down in what he do !! AND HE SHOULD !! Western Media: Russia killing Civilians in Ukranie: "That is a Genocide, the whole worls should know it and condem it" US is killing civilans in Irak after they invade it to steal their oil: "Ohhh the Press should be quiet because exposing that will put US soldiers in harm's way" Talking about having NO HONOR AND definition of hypocrite !!
