Why not just stick with what's obvious ?

Assange has - and has always had - his Left wing agenda. He opposes a political entity he's in disagreement with ! This is what motivates his actions ...

... or is it 'just a coincidence' that his friends and allies 'just happen' to be creatures of the far Left ??

The hacking dimension to this should further prove that this isn't just about 'free speech' ... that's just the excuse offered as a 'justification' for Assange. No, it's all an attack, pure & simple.

Has Assange ever offered an apology for any damage which his activities are responsible for ? NO. Has he addressed that issue ? NO. Has he paused for reflection, shown the slightest hesitation in proceeding onwards, despite that being a factor ?

NO.

This all speaks for itself. No matter how Assange presents himself and what he's done, the truth is that he's a relentless attacker against powers and institutions that he, personally, hates.

Assange is an enemy. There can be no reason not to treat him as one.
