Agent Assange
.
.
Let there be no mistake. Like Snowden, Assange is a US Gov Intelligence operation. His only purpose is to get gullible individuals to believe in what he says. The US Gov uses his mouth to persuade those unsophisticated individuals who have gripes against the Gov to side with him in the belief that he is an authentic hero. The US Gov and friends will go out of their way to keep Assange and Snowden in the news every week at whatever cost.

The US and British services are now trying to figure out how to get Assange out of the Ecuadorean Embassy without triggering some law that would force them to extradite him to the US. They tried making him a politician in Australia that would automatically give Assange diplomatic immunity. They tried having the Swedish prosecutors agree to interview him in London, thus bypassing the need to extradite him for the purposes of interrogation. And the agencies will continue to be creative in coming up with ways to get Assange out without being prosecuted.

When Assange was recruited by the US agencies in 1990, they didn't plan for him to be in prison. They planned for him to be the leader of the opposition. They planned for him to keep the interest of the masses in international politics and to have the 'correct' view. That's what Assange (and Snowden) is all about.
