WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has filed a sweeping criminal complaint in Sweden accusing 30 Nobel Foundation officials of misappropriation, facilitating war crimes, and turning the Peace Prize into what he calls “an instrument of war.”

Assange is asking Swedish authorities to immediately freeze the 11 million SEK prize money before its transfer to Machado. The complaint says Nobel administrators breached their fiduciary duty by approving a payout to a figure who has openly advocated foreign military intervention.

️ Assange cites statements in which Machado supports US military escalation around Venezuela and endorses strikes that would kill civilians. Nobel officials, he argues, “converted an instrument of peace into an instrument of war.”

          These are hyper imperialist newspapers which justify the genocide in Gaza they’re not a source and they don’t provide anything special.

          I’m not expecting Assagne to make enemies of Russia while he needs them to hide from prosecution by the West. Besides these Russia leaks were seemingly not being very significant and indeed not verifiable FT and Wapo are obviously looking for slander.

          As for the RT news show give me a break you’re linking genocide outlets you don’t care about any of that. Were he to have to stick to “reputable news” only he would be allowed nowhere because that doesn’t exist. Unless Assange was actively lying on there it doesnt matter.

              I don’t care about the literal American state ran propaganda campaign you’re bringing up. Now since all you have against Assange are adhoms, and apparently doing a show on Russian state TV propaganda is dishonest but doing one with American state propaganda is awesome and reliable, I think you should reconsider what the word news even means.

              Assange exposed massive amounts of US war crimes and actual propaganda and American brainwashing and paid for it with half his life. Because “muh press freedom”.

                  Assange was human and had some faults wow how awful.

                  Liberals will find any reason to denounce a hero but defend mass murderers like Obama and Hillary Clinton in the same breath.

        Which part do you need corroboration for? Most of those were statements of opinion. Is there one in particular you disagree with?
