the comments here are pure ebola. assange has done our dirty work for the last five, six years and people hate him for disclosing the truth they don't want to have to cope with.
He only discloses the truths that benefit Russia and Trump. He does not disclose the truths that harm Russia and Trump. This is to control and influence the narrative. It is not about the truthfulness of what he releases, it's about what he has and does not release.
Devin Grayson Lol. Truth is a one way street. If something considered a truth contradicts something else considered a truth, obviously one of them is a fallacy. Truth can not contradict itself.
Devin Grayson 😂😂😂 If you tell the truth about a thing, it is impossible to lie by ommission. That's like someone saying 1+1=2. But by ommission they lied because they failed to mention that 1+1 also equals 3. Do you see the absurdity behind that logic?
Hello Juan, I still remember reading PALANTE while I was a CUNY undergrad . (1972 - 76), Thanks for helping me understand the subjects of political science, Caribbean history and other very avant-garde studies concerning colonialism and its effects. DEMOCRACY NOW is my principal news source on line. You have progressed from PALANTE to become a major international news source. It's a real pleasure watching you and Ms. Goodman on line. THANKS AGAIN !!!!
*INCASE YOU TROLLS MISSED IT* 9:15 It wasn't a State that leaked information to WIkileaks... But if they did? Jullian would have published it if it was proven Authentic.
I knew it was Seth Rich just by following what little the police have done to find these "robbers" who apparently stole NOTHING! Next, the fact that Seth told his girlfriend he was "meeting someone", and since it was so early in the morning, she was concerned and was speaking with Seth on his cellphone when he was approached, by men, she heard him talking to!! She stated to police, "I heard a ruckus in the background", she asked Seth if he was OK, and he replied, "Yes, I'll call you back." Then....he was shot twice in the back, and twice in the back of the head!! NOT what robbers do, especially when they didn't take his wallet, or watch, or ring, or cellphone.... Seth Rich was the insider at the DNC tasked with "voter outreach" and had spoken out about Bernie Sanders' voters being given "Provisional Ballots". This is the sick truth about the democrats following the Clinton Dynasty/Mafia and all the bodies connected with what happens if anyone tries to expose their malfeasance!!! It's NOT Russia, has never been Russia!!! Our biggest threat to peace and democracy is our own corrupt government following the deplorable Clinton's!!! #GreenEnter #GrowTheGreens
This man is an absolute hero of our times. He shows what a shit show the US govt is, the crimes committed by our military and govt in the illegal wars, etc.
julian assange is a hero to the people, the sacrifice it takes to do what he does, connect the whistle blowers give them a voice, hide their sourcing which protects them and he takes the heat, and he pays for it
In all this affairs with the CIA and Wiki Leaks we must believe in the truth and we know who is being honest and who is protecting the corporate cabal.
Londre Gilkey they are like someone convicted or accused of murder who is deflecting and saying never mind about the murder alleged ,what about the person who reported the crime ? Huh ???
Because those who would call Assange a liar and the leaks false, would look very dumb or corrupt, if the leaks could be proven right. I wonder who leaked the "climate gate" emails? Putin? lol Leaked emails can also be misunderstood and interpreted. Climategate was a nonissue and smear campaign. Podestas emails were much more rich.
pcuimac The 10 years that Wikileaks has been around, they've published/leaked over I believe 100,000.00 documents and they've been 100% right on the whole 10 years, they've never been wrong, they have a perfect record.
Because Assange has only leaked stuff that benefits him. And it looks like he was helping Trump because Hillary was going to go after Assange. Who knows what trash he has on Republicans or Trump and refuses to release it.
With all the hacking, intervening, manipulating in other independent states' politics and elections, that the US government would complain about others interfering in theirs, borders on silly. Goose and gander proverb comes to mind. Bully, another obvious descriptive. More and more the American government is being seen as derelict, infantile and outright silly. Some of the American public might be swayed; other populations, not on your life. Respect is most difficult to earn back, once lost.
Wow, she levels a very severe charge, stating as fact the idea that "Russian oligarchs" have bailed Trump out massively. I would definitely need substantiation for that as I doubt the veracity of her blanket statement.
I lived in the McCarthy days, albeit as a boy, but I read the papers, listened to the radio broadcasts with my parents. The present situation is not realistically to be compared to the situation and atmosphere of the McCarthy days. And, I believe you are not being honest - you were consciously doing to America what (as you say) America has in years past done to other countries. This is not 'objectivity'. It is playing justification games.
Amy Goodman does an amazing job of calmly yet sternly leveling the challenges at WL of helping DT via JA while holding in view if not representing the cultural ground of the NYC feminist activist political class (itself making the fatal error of throwing its lot in with the Wall St bankers who trashed the economy). But what is missing from the explicitly detailed context is the full blown journalistic account of the Democratic party completely sideswiping the Bernie campaign closing polling stations in state after state, while tens of thousands of voters had their registrations squashed. JA mentions it thankfully.
This is so cool: see the transition to micro expression on Comey's face from 12:53 onwards! And listen to what caused it! So cool, so cool (with Chinese accent)!
MSM, the Israel Zionist, puppet politicians, all the same entity, changes the conversation to the boogeyman Russia, while our government does the same to the people. As an American the content of the emails is more of a concern.
Kuma San Julian Assange is a Russian sympathizing Nazi fascist and a traitor against the United States of America period he tried to manipulate our Democratic and electoral processes. !!!
Kuma San WHY IS HE NOT GIVING HIMSELF UP ON RAPE CHARGES TO SWITZERLAND? HE BELIEVES HE WILL BE EXTRADITED FROM SWITZERLAND TO THE U.S. FOR RELEASING U.S. SECRET DOCUMENTS. THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON RAPE CHARGES EXPIRES IN 2020. WHAT ABOUT THE 16 YEAR OLD FEMALE VICTIM? SHE NEVER GETS HER DAY IN COURT. ECUADOR OFFERS HIM ASSYLUM UNDER NEW PRESIDENT , THAT'S WHY HE IS HOLED UP AT THEIR EMBASSY ON BRITISH SOIL.
This supposedly video of Julian Assange looks like it's fake to me, it just doesn't look right. And let's not forget about how there's video technology that you can make someone look like they are really saying what someone else is really saying, meaning that this could be a video of Julian Assange, but someone else is editing what he's saying. Look it up, it's crazy the kinds of things they can do now with technology!
I am so disappointed with this show and Amy Goodman. She did all of this great stuff and then it was like a switch got flipped and here they are, dutiful members of the "Liberal Class." Sellouts.
I WAS WARNED TO KEEP MY STUPID MOUTH SHUT MY FAMILY DONT REALISE IF I DO THEN THERES A GOOD CHANCE MY FAMILY WILL BE IN A WORSE POSITION THEN THEY ARE NOW I MAY HAVE CHANGED THE ELECTION BUT LIKE YOU SAY HILLARY IS JUST AS BAD I FELT I COULD JUST ABOUT HANDLE TRUMP BUT HILLARY ISN'T MY IDEA OF SOMEONE I CAN HANDLE MY SON IS NOW DISGUSTED WITH ME BUT IF WE DO SURVIVE THIS GOD DAMN STUPID WAR MY SON WILL THANK ME
Fake video! Julian isn't speaking to Amy! Shame on you! Watch his mouth he doesn't say Amy...his mouth doesn't match the word Amy in the beginning! no shame Amy???
Do some research on julian. He has risked his life bringing Information front and center. CIA trying to kill him, as well as other countries, facing 175 years in prison
Is it legal to hack anyone email under the current law in 2016 and if not then it seem alot of people are encouraging more hacking not just by wikileak or their sources but anyone.
Something is fishy with Democracy Now staples Assange, Snowden, and Greenwald as it relates to RIS. Amy and Juan, perhaps you should invite someone like Sarah Kendzior on your show for a different perspective.
Maxwell Montgomery Wikileaks doesn't target anyone. They just post leaks that whistleblowers bring them. Trump didn't have a history in politics so there wasn't much political info to leak but I'm sure that won't be the case in a few years. Give it time.
Maxwell Montgomery There will never be a WikiLeaks on Trump because every little stupid thing he does, or even some fabricated things, are immediately reported on. There's nothing left in the pot for Assange to report on.
leos rule That's ridiculous. His campaign is under FBI investigation and you're telling me there's nothing left to uncover. Stop lying to yourself. Wikileaks = biased.
I think Julian has got himself involved with some people he wishes he hadn't. I'm glad he revealed what he did but the manor in which he did it I do not agree with.
I Don't trust this guy. Who the hell knows what's going on anymore; with anything... but yeah.. I never trusted this guy. Seems he got pretty caught up in revenge on this one. I don't think this is not a controversial view- I mean, can anybody really say they trust him 100%? I can't. I can't tell what he's all about anymore. I think some of his arguments seem juvenile - "how could I be wrong when they're rich and I live in a embassy" What!?
I trust him a hell of a lot more than Clinton or Trump. He leaks information from whistleblowers. He isn't hacking it himself and almost everything he publishes can be verified. Watch his TED talk.
well yeah, clinton or trump. I'm talking on a higher level then that obviously. I wouldn't fall backwards if this guy is supposed to catch me; let's put it that way. I think.. or I suspect there is a pretty significant personality disorder going on there that is worth being cautious of. This guy has been hacking since the 80s for goodness sake. He is either a monumental genius who leaves all of us (all of humanity) in the dust; or has a particularly sadistic side to his digital literacy. I'm not saying either way- but I don't trust him personally. I wouldn't be spray painting this guys face on a wall like they used to do here in Australia- I mean, next to Marley and Luther King!?- Nup. He just hasn't displayed that level yet.
It's my hope that you guys get some actually technically competent people to talk about this besides Assange....who has become completely untrustworthy on all of this. PLEASE FIND DATA PEOPLE.
I wish Amy wouldn't treat Julian here as some intellectual heavyweight, asking him to pontificate on various aspects of American society and politics. Assange is basically the wiki leaks gatekeeper, other people send him the info, Putin tells him what sorts of things to leak, the leaks are likely legit, but Assange himself has always seemed like a pompous windbag to me. If I wanted to see Julian Assange taken seriously as an intellect I would watch RT.
the comments here are pure ebola. assange has done our dirty work for the last five, six years and people hate him for disclosing the truth they don't want to have to cope with.

all y'all are dumbass motherfuckers, I'm leaving this comment section lmao
Thanks, Democracy Now!:)
Julian Assage does honest reporting.they come after him.
Just like how Tulsi Gabbard asks for evidence to justify another unilateral war, and both parties call for her to be removed from office.
Freedom for Julian Assange!!! For Truth, Honor, and Justice.
We the people declare Julian Assange HERO OF THE WORLD... Shear to everyone
Julian Asange is GLOBAL HERO.
Thank you +Democracy Now! for fair and balanced conversation on these issues!
Hello Juan, I still remember reading PALANTE while I was a CUNY undergrad .

DEMOCRACY NOW is my principal news source on line. You have progressed from PALANTE to become a major international news source. It's a real pleasure watching you and Ms. Goodman on line. THANKS AGAIN !!!!
Amy and Juan - I only really trust your reporting and Julian Assange sources to give me honest information about what's happening in the world.
Truth liberates, lies enslave.
Julian Assange has been correct 100%
*INCASE YOU TROLLS MISSED IT* 9:15 It wasn't a State that leaked information to WIkileaks... But if they did? Jullian would have published it if it was proven Authentic.
Thank you for covering this, DN!
i LOVE wIKILEAKS!

Good interview.
Great discussion.
This man is an absolute hero of our times. He shows what a shit show the US govt is, the crimes committed by our military and govt in the illegal wars, etc.
When there is no governMENTAL transparency, you get this.
Long Live the Truth Seekers ~ All Truths Rise To The Surface ! ,,, so glad to see Amy also
Thank you.
America's 50 cent troll army is on the march in the comments lol
julian assange is a hero to the people, the sacrifice it takes to do what he does, connect the whistle blowers give them a voice, hide their sourcing which protects them and he takes the heat, and he pays for it
Amy Goodman is finally getting her own eyes to open to the truth!
In all this affairs with the CIA and Wiki Leaks we must believe in the truth and we know who is being honest and who is protecting the corporate cabal.
So disappointed in democracy now
Excellent work DN! I had lost trust in you but this might bring it back.
i'm going thru their timeline and unfortunately there's a fair bit of western intelligence agitprop about syria around this time
was the leaked info true or not, nobody touches on that fact, just who leaked it.
Londre Gilkey they are like someone convicted or accused of murder who is deflecting and saying never mind about the murder alleged ,what about the person who reported the crime ? Huh ???
Everything ever published by wikileaks has always been found to be authentic so it's a pretty good track record
Because those who would call Assange a liar and the leaks false, would look very dumb or corrupt, if the leaks could be proven right. I wonder who leaked the "climate gate" emails? Putin? lol
Leaked emails can also be misunderstood and interpreted. Climategate was a nonissue and smear campaign. Podestas emails were much more rich.

Because Assange has only leaked stuff that benefits him. And it looks like he was helping Trump because Hillary was going to go after Assange. Who knows what trash he has on Republicans or Trump and refuses to release it.
Assange is a hero.
Rep. Adam Schiff is a pitiful excuse for our IC rep and for a man in general. Pitiful.
*TRUTH IS POWER, WE THE PEOPLE WANT TRUTH.*
Young Trump was trained by the lawyer for Senator McCarthy - President Trump is a practitioner of McCarthyism.
With all the hacking, intervening, manipulating in other independent states' politics and elections, that the US government would complain about others interfering in theirs, borders on silly. Goose and gander proverb comes to mind. Bully, another obvious descriptive.
More and more the American government is being seen as derelict, infantile and outright silly. Some of the American public might be swayed; other populations, not on your life. Respect is most difficult to earn back, once lost.
Wow, she levels a very severe charge, stating as fact the idea that "Russian oligarchs" have bailed Trump out massively. I would definitely need substantiation for that as I doubt the veracity of her blanket statement.
Wikileaks doesn't leak their sources.
I lived in the McCarthy days, albeit as a boy, but I read the papers, listened to the radio broadcasts with my parents.

And, I believe you are not being honest - you were consciously doing to America what (as you say) America has in years past done to other countries. This is not 'objectivity'.

Amy, why didn't you talk about the spirit cooking in Podestas emails?
VIVA ECUADOR!!!!!

A case of the chickens are coming back home to roost.
This is so cool: see the transition to micro expression on Comey's face from 12:53 onwards! And listen to what caused it! So cool, so cool (with Chinese accent)!
multiple attempts at 'got you' questions, and he just calmly, cogently exposes their agenda.
I'm surprised they posted this.
MSM, the Israel Zionist, puppet politicians, all the same entity, changes the conversation to the boogeyman Russia, while our government does the same to the people. As an American the content of the emails is more of a concern.
Julian Assange is a hero! This world needs more people like him!
Kuma San Julian Assange is a Russian sympathizing Nazi fascist and a traitor against the United States of America period he tried to manipulate our Democratic and electoral processes. !!!
Kuma San be clear, humanitarians for justice are heros. Assange is a authoritarian sympathizer peddling russian propaganda
Blindfold goes up, blindfold goes down.
LOL, he's not even American and you're calling him a traitor
Kuma San
WHY IS HE NOT GIVING HIMSELF UP ON RAPE CHARGES TO SWITZERLAND? HE BELIEVES HE WILL BE EXTRADITED FROM SWITZERLAND TO THE U.S. FOR RELEASING U.S. SECRET DOCUMENTS.

Its real, it's just off a little.
You can read the emails, he risks his life to report
I'll take the red pill
who can read 20k emails? i freak if i have over 10.
this is old news..
I am so disappointed with this show and Amy Goodman. She did all of this great stuff and then it was like a switch got flipped and here they are, dutiful members of the "Liberal Class." Sellouts.
She is reporting the truth
Microsoft edge blocking sound on video's like this one they don't want you to listen to.
I WAS WARNED TO KEEP MY STUPID MOUTH SHUT MY FAMILY DONT REALISE IF I DO THEN THERES A GOOD CHANCE MY FAMILY WILL BE IN A WORSE POSITION THEN THEY ARE NOW I MAY HAVE CHANGED THE ELECTION BUT LIKE YOU SAY HILLARY IS JUST AS BAD I FELT I COULD JUST ABOUT HANDLE TRUMP BUT HILLARY ISN'T MY IDEA OF SOMEONE I CAN HANDLE MY SON IS NOW DISGUSTED WITH ME BUT IF WE DO SURVIVE THIS GOD DAMN STUPID WAR MY SON WILL THANK ME
Good bye FDR?
Bravo Assange. Democracy Now has reached new depths tolerating and giving credence to this New McCathyism.
Fake video! Julian isn't speaking to Amy! Shame on you! Watch his mouth he doesn't say Amy...his mouth doesn't match the word Amy in the beginning! no shame Amy???
wow everyone has an angle, et tu wikileaks? who the f can i trust?.
Since julian Assange is facing life in Prison, and the CIA is trying to kill him. Most likely he is credible
He got oaid.. hello
Julian Assange is not a friend of the USA. He would say something like what is in your video title.
Assange looks weird. Did he get Botox?
This guy's nickname should be Duck n' Dodge.
← Irish Bunny →"The DNC is a private association" ↔ "I think my gun is broken" ← √
I have the highest regard for Democracy now and the integrity of it's reporting but I question them trusting this guy
Do some research on julian. He has risked his life bringing Information front and center. CIA trying to kill him, as well as other countries, facing 175 years in prison
This guy is a criminal.

SO THAT MEANS WIKILEAKS IS COMMITTING A CRIME.....SO IS HACKERS LEGAL NOW?
Not is the government is doing it!
Assange is a hero
www.nwo-news.com/2016/06/02/wikileaks-is-a-rothschild-operation/
CHECK THIS OUT
As noble Julian Assange appears to be, but he totally got played like a fiddle. He got outfoxed.
Tssfg
So, Julian... when is wikileaks going to target Trump?
Maxwell Montgomery Wikileaks doesn't target anyone. They just post leaks that whistleblowers bring them. Trump didn't have a history in politics so there wasn't much political info to leak but I'm sure that won't be the case in a few years. Give it time.

I think Julian has got himself involved with some people he wishes he hadn't. I'm glad he revealed what he did but the manor in which he did it I do not agree with.
That has been the modus operandi, ever since wikileaks' inception. What was different this time?
At one time I thought Julian Assange was helping us. I no longer feel that way. I have lost all respect for Assange. He is no Edward Snowden.
@Diane Owen May I ask how did you come up with that conclusion buddy?
I'm scratching my head too..smh
I Don't trust this guy. Who the hell knows what's going on anymore; with anything... but yeah.. I never trusted this guy. Seems he got pretty caught up in revenge on this one.

Democracy now shilling for Assange still!?
Amy goodman has no sense of shame
unUSEFUL idiot Your name suits you.
What for telling the truth.
after 5 yrs confined to a small rm Assange seeks to make a deal with Putin, who can blame him? But we should acknowledge his motivations.
It's my hope that you guys get some actually technically competent people to talk about this besides Assange....who has become completely untrustworthy on all of this. PLEASE FIND DATA PEOPLE.
dumbass
Do some research on julian Assange. All his leaks thus far 100 % credible.
I wish Amy wouldn't treat Julian here as some intellectual heavyweight, asking him to pontificate on various aspects of American society and politics. Assange is basically the wiki leaks gatekeeper, other people send him the info, Putin tells him what sorts of things to leak, the leaks are likely legit, but Assange himself has always seemed like a pompous windbag to me.

He has written books, and risked his life to bring us our leaders nefarious dealings
I think it disgusting that you give this tool of Putin air time .
Sdeb132 Debruler - AGREED !!! 👏👏👏
For telling the truth you are offended because you have been proven gullible ha ha so easily led you lot
