Julian Assange is dead and has been since October 2016. His "release" is (hopefully) the last act in the long-running movie everyone has been watching since then. Here's the basic story and then we'll stomp on it:

Julian Assange pleads guilty to publishing American military secrets — opens door to Australia return (NY Post 6/25/2024)

You know what they already memory-holed the very same day because it was too revealing? This was the original headline:

Julian Assange arrives at court in Saipan after $500K private flight

You can still see it in the URL for the article. It raises questions. Where in TF did JA get $500k? If he had $500k, why would he blow it all on a plane flight? Hasn't this guy been in prison for 14 years with no income? Is he going to Venmo the charter company $500/month for a thousand months?

It would be at least possible if they told us he bought Bitcoin for $0.08 back before they sent him to the joint. But look at the article closely: they do not even address these questions. Of course not, because they have no reasonable answers and they don't want to Streisand it. Again, that's why they Mandela'd the headline.

We're told the reason for the flight to Saipan, a US territory, was to avoid the US mainland. Are there no commercial flights leaving the UK that do not land in the US mainland?

But why avoid the mainland at all? Are we supposed to think JA believe this: The diabolical USG is luring him out with a plea deal, but that's a ruse because they're going to snatch him and throw him in GTMO? Um, okay, they would do that but they would not offend Saipanese sensibilities and legalities by doing it there? Everything is preposterous.

They also fail to address why his wife didn't spend an extra K or 2 to fly to Belmarsh for his release, or to Saipan for his court appearances. Nope, guess she has to unload the dishwasher or something and will see him when he gets home. Same issue for his attorneys. "Ehhh, I'll just get a couple of locals after I land. Cost ten bucks American."

Anyway, I hope she remembered to text him his address.

Bonus: If you're not convinced this whole affair is another lame-ass bullshit psyop, here's the cherry on top:

Fuck me, you can't make this shit up. It reminds me of Jeffy's ride:
