is Julian Assange being blackmailed by Vladimir Putin?

[Swagman]

interestingTwitter thread by someone who I believe is credible- laying out how Putin may have blackmailed Julian Assange into becoming an assert.

# I was a great supporter of Julian Assange (on here) but the last 2 years I have come to see him as an inherently evil character.

Almost every credible journalist who has worked with Assange like Nick Davies who exposed Britain's Hacking Scandal has ended up despising him and describe him as a bully, a misogynist and a terrible liar who is reveling in his fame.
Some like the highly respected John Pilger have damaged their careers by promoting Assange's falsehood that the "Establishment" would never let Trump win the election.

Everyone who worked on Wikileaks has now left because of him. Who is running Wikileaks now? A bunch of Russian kids? They sound like it at times.

One thing few people pick up on is that Assange was brought up in a bizarre Cult in Australia called The Family run by a incredibly evil woman named Anne Hamilton-Byrne and all the children were forced to have their hair died blonde and dress identically. The Cult was riddled with child abuse of all kinds : sexual. physical. mental and by neglect.

Importantly: those who eventually escaped The Family have spoken up about how evil The Family was except : Julian Assange who has never criticized The Family or Hamilton-Byrne even now that all the children have been removed by the police.

1. i wouldnt say blackmailed, i'd say "protected"

Which Putin can rip away at anytime or worse.

Assange knows Putin could arrange his "death by natural causes"at anytime and probably knows it will come at sometiem......dead dogs tell no tales.

2. No.....he's doing it willingly. nt

3. Why assume blackmail? This is who Assange is.

I didn't know about his upbringing, but it makes sense. Assange is a deeply damaged person who is comfortable with extreme authority telling him what to do. He doesn't have any personal ethics of his own. He's still in a cult - Putin's cult.

4. Assange didn't need to be blackmailed

by anyone. He prefers Russian type regimes to western democracies.
