Bear in mind Assange is a skilled, dramatic, life-long, homeless actor. Favorite roles are long-suffering, aggrieved, heroic, vain, arrogant, prideful, narcissistic, disobedient, exploitive. A didactic political theorist, populist philosopher, down-under humorist, caustic wit, publicity hound, multi-hued chameleonist, global-cyclist troubador yodeler, secretive donation-grubbing cheat, bail-jumping deadbeat.
For these highly entertaining, enviable, fuck-the-man-and-rape-the-women, if formulaic misbehaviors, he is beloved, celebrated, rock-star-grade Bad Boy, or as some pornographically propound, a Christ-like wanker to be evangelized.
If appearing to suffer sado-masochistic torture is required, no problema, he and fans have espoused this erotic fantasy for 7 years in his self-committed isolation chamber, a swell rehearsal and publicity campaign scripted and acted by lawyers, public relations experts and visiting celebs. He and supporting cast do put on a damned fine circus of fakery.
Trials, several of them, will be fabulously lucrative click-bait and crowd-funders, the most recent outpouring of mendacious journalists and gravy-train hustlers yet another staged prize winner.
Julian's auto-obit being gleefuly crafted in a hospital bed as we expectantly yearn for the masturbatory
crucifixion
Crucifixion seems to be what humans require to purge themselves of their own lethargy | complacency | envy | anger | pride | ego | suffering | aggrieved | heroic non-action etc etc^100 "The system" we collectively and tacitly support and create on a daily basis, may provide no other option? Let us each cast the first stone. And cast 1000 more. With luck we may even purge ourselves.

UN expert says "collective persecution" of Julian Assange must end now https://ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=24665&LangID=E
Mr. Assange showed all symptoms typical for prolonged exposure to psychological torture, including extreme stress, chronic anxiety and intense psychological trauma.
âThe evidence is overwhelming and clear,â the expert said. âMr. Assange has been deliberately exposed, for a period of several years, to progressively severe forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, the cumulative effects of which can only be described as psychological torture.
âI condemn, in the strongest terms, the deliberate, concerted and sustained nature of the abuse inflicted
