Joy-PSE: People & Society E-Pub./Empathizers Discussion: How Julian Assange's Journalistic Career Technically Got Him Exiled From The U.S!

What Happened To Julian Assange; Why Was He Trying To Help Chelsea Manning?

The Life Of A Journalist An Incredibly Selfless Inclination To Find The Truth, Have Seen Many Journalist Fall From Grace; Paying Enormous Penalties For This Compelling Need To Find Answers!

In early 2010, a resounding new year approached bringing promises and fulfilling dreams -- Julian Assange had no idea Chelsea Manning (U.S. military personnel) would seek him out and share information that would cause him to give up life, as he has known it to be. He met with Manning and began publishing large amounts of U.S. military intelligence; that became available to the international public. Offloading information in no particular order, his only goal was to get it out to the public and do it fast; before anyone could stop the release of said information.

This decision to become the public's informant regarding secret military interventions and providing proof of atrocities were something conspiracy theorist had only dreamed off; before WikiLeaks. If you want to read dirt on the U.S. government from 2010, go to WikiLeaks! Personally, this is not something that interest me, because the data is useless to me personally, and I'm not certain how one would fight the U.S. government but Assange, with Manning's assistance set out to do just that!

This leap of faith has cost Manning 7 years, behind bars and Assange 7 years, already served locked away in the Ecuadorian Embassy; in London. Now he's facing possible extradition to the U.S. not certain what Assange's faith will be if he does return to U.S. soil. A lot of folks had their secret lives compromised, and a lot more would like to see the journalist serve more time for doing what he believed was right for himself and future generations.

Warning: The actions of Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning and penalties received is why no one ought to attempt such a venture. Australian born Assange is 47 years old, 60 years old in appearance, for the past 7 years, he has not had medical attention, not had family, friends and well-wishers in his immediate circle, not enjoyed the outdoors, normality stripped away, living the life of an incarcerated individual, ridiculed for the world to see in his arrest with hands and feet shackled, appears to have lost a significant part of his former personality, unshaven, disheveled, frail, all but alive; to once more answer to the justice system!
