Only a Clinton shill who doesn't know those emails contain all the dirt the DNC had collected on the Trump campaign would say that.
A New York court ruled this publication, which btw showed the DNC had rigged the primaries / stolen the primaries from Bernie, and pushed media to always talk about Trump in the mistaken Clinton would easily win against him, was First Amendment protected by the highest order.

Yea, I see what you mean, and if you don't know German you'll likely not notice the 'not now' option in the pop-up that lets you keep reading. Kind of annoying but I promise the page is technically not paywalled.

Are you having trouble with republik.ch? It doesn't have a paywall to my knowledge! But if you prefer, you can head on archive.org without any popups: https://web.archive.org/web/20240910100941/https://www.republik.ch/2020/01/31/nils-melzer-about-wikileaks-founder-julian-assange
Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Anyone can and does edit it. Heck, I know I have.

Unfortunately I'll be at work at the time but I will be watching it soon after, I'm sure! It feels like a profound moment for humanity, that he can speak freely again. Many people are going to be watching live and hang on his every word. The pressure must be enormous. I'm very interested what he has to say.

Do you believe every rumour started by cops?
Watch Assange's address to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe live [here](https://www.youtube.com/live/Mq85IZMeigc) tomorrow Oct 1, 8:30am CEST > 26/09/2024 Legal Affairs and Human Rights Julian Assange >Julian Assange is to attend a parliamentary hearing in Strasbourg on Tuesday 1 October 2024 which will look at his detention and conviction and their chilling effect on human rights, ahead of a full plenary debate on this topic by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) the following day. Both events will be livestreamed. >The hearing is organised by the Assembly’s Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights in the framework of a report on this topic by Thorhildur Sunna Ævarsdóttir (Iceland, SOC). In a recent draft resolution, based on her report, the committee expressed deep concern at Mr Assange’s harsh treatment, warned of its “chilling effect” and called on the United States, a Council of Europe observer state, to investigate the alleged war crimes and human rights violations disclosed by him and Wikileaks. >The committee said it considers that the “disproportionately severe charges” brought against him by the US authorities, as well as the heavy penalties foreseen under the Espionage Act for engaging in acts of journalism, fall within the requirements set out in a 2012 Assembly resolution on the definition of a political prisoner. >The following day, on Wednesday 2 October, the Assembly – which brings together parliamentarians from the 46 Council of Europe member states – is due to debate and vote on the committee’s draft resolution. >Practical information >The hearing, which is open to the press, takes place on Tuesday 1 October in Room 1 of the Palais de l’Europe, from 8.30 a.m. to 10 a.m. CEST. It will be streamed live in English on the Assembly’s YouTube channel here (scrollable mid-stream, with instant replay). A live feed of the hearing in broadcast quality can be obtained via the EBU. Alternatively, broadcast-quality footage can also be obtained, around an hour after the hearing ends, on request, from audiovisual.coordination@coe.int. Media wishing to attend in person, where space allows, should submit requests for accreditation here, and are invited to signal their wish to attend to pace.com@coe.int before midday on Monday 30 September. >The plenary debate is due to take place in the Assembly’s debating chamber on Wednesday 2 October from 10 a.m. CEST with a final vote expected around midday. The debate can be followed via the main webstream in several languages or via the Assembly’s YouTube channel in English (scrollable mid-stream, with instant replay). Mr Assange is expected to be present in the viewing gallery.

Yea. It exists and is a terrible idea. Like it's a creepy ideology that rears its head in too many places.
Selective breeding of humans is not and never was a good idea. It comes with forced sterilisation, marriage bans, stigmatisation of characteristics contributing to naturally occuring diversity, supremacist thinking and fascist pseudo-scientific tendencies.

Oh yes definitely The Little Prince is a must-read.

The Brothers Lionheart, by Astrid Lindgren is one of my childhood favourites. Originally Swedish but has been translated into English.
The Letter for the King by Tonke Dragt another childhood fav., it has been translated from Dutch. Actually, anything by Dragt I loved, but not sure which have translations or not.
In terms of adult fiction, I was hooked on Stig Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series (he only wrote the first 3 though).
Someone mentioned Kurt Vonnegut; I recommend the one I've read of his: Slaughterhouse 5.
The Circle still gives me pause more than 5 years later. It's by Dave Eggers.

Edit: I just want to know, does he talk about third party candidates at all or just telling people to not vote at all?
Edit 2: please?

15yo me gets an angry phone call from the dad where I'd scored a weekly long-term babysitting gig after the first or second night: don't think for a second that you're coming back! (I'm paraphrasing here).
I give a one-word reply and he hangs up.
All I did was leave after getting paid without saying bye while they were checking on the kids. (They were asleep). Because I didn't want to be coerced to get a ride like last time.
Took me years to realise they were in the wrong.

I am angry at the politicians in the US etc for their continued support of the mass slaughter and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
I'm also angry at the Israeli head of state and political machine, who controls the IDF. When I say 'the IDF' I mean of course the military arm of the state of Israel. The Likud charta explicitly states the aim of one Israel 'from the sea to the river' - oh, the irony!
What Hamas has done on Oct 7, even if all stories are to be believed, pales in comparison to what Israel has done to innocent Palestinians - schools, universities, hospitals, aid workers, journalists, etc -before and since. And it was clearly provoked by years of being occupied in an open-air prison. So I'm sorry if I'm not interested in the 'we're only defending our own' shtick.
A two-state solution is only possible if Israel withdraws, stops occupying Palestine and allows it to exercise full sovereignty of its borders, governancet, and defence.

Look it's hard to say if it saved lives in the overall ww2 tally, but surrender to save lives was the rationale of the Generals eg in The Netherlands. They looked at what the Luftwaffe had done to Rotterdam, looked at what weapons they had themselves, considered the prospect of what was going to happen to Utrecht next, and decided that further resistance was futile. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_in_World_War_II#German_occupation

> But while the Albanese government soaked up the plaudits for engineering Assange’s long overdue return, several of the signs on display that evening hinted that not everything was well on the home front. “Assange, McBride, Boyle”, offered one. Another particularly well-worn sign had the demand: “Fix the PID Act”. The WikiLeaks publisher may be free, but the Public Interest Disclosure Act – the whistleblower protection law for federal public servants in Australia – remains broken, as recent high-profile cases demonstrate all too well.
