That reminds me of an old Mafia joke: Honest, officer, it was suicide. He tied himself to a chair, shot himself and then jumped out the window.

Twice.

I'm honestly not surprised...he didn't have any credibility left to lose anyway :smug:

How many South African policemen does it take to crack an egg?

None, it fell down the stairs...

What the hell are you talking about ?

Assange...credibility...lack of....

Where exactly did he lose it ?
Because he made a speech from a balcony ? Worse people have done that :hmm2:

This guy - just one of many examples one could quote - tops Assange easily regarding lack of credibility and comicality.

Be fair, he has since said that he didn't know at the time that it was all just a pile of lies.
Though I think some people missed that later episode and still believes whole heartedly the nonsense that was told back then.

Of course there have been worse people, there are many bad people in this world both past and present.

One word immediately springs to mind.....Quisling.

LOL, had to laugh at the two guys behind him near the beginning of his diatribe...wonder what they were expecting to see when they were looking up at hearing the sound of a helicopter? :hmm2:

@ Skybird: Powell was the only one of this criminal gang to stand up and openly admit that it was all lies.
I miss this kind oft statement from Bush, Cheney and a lot of others.
But then Powell certainly is a traitor you say, sure.


@Jimbuna: Don't let us fight for definitions, i apologize to have said WTH in the above post. I just think that just because the new modern phased-in media support the government, and try to make people think that Assange has "lost his credibility"/"is a rapist"/"is a traitor"/blahblahblah does not mean he has lost his credibility at all. The accused have lost it, with evidence.

Indeed this reaction proves that the right media is on an ordered witchhunt, maybe even hurrying ahead - still Assange stands to his actions, and thinking of the pressure i can only admire that, liking the man's attitude or not.

In this age of information there is no other but the hard way to make governments realize they will not get away unscathed if censoring freedom of speech, press, and violating international treaties including shooting civilians and torturing, and generally behaving like an elephant in a porcelain's store abroad. It is very sad to see this culture of denial just of all in the US.

Right now they again try to get away unscathed, want to sit it out and kill Assange instead.
Certainly, before you kill someone you have to discredit him, make him lose his credibility, at least in the eyes of the big masses - an attempt we just now witness.
What a nice representation of freedom and democracy :nope:

Powell was just an example quickly on my mind. However, he was naive enough to believe the nonsense he was talking there, and his performance really looked hilarious even if taken for itself. That he followed Bush and accepted to deliver this stageact, does not speak for him. Also check his biography, and you see that he is not much different from the other usual high profile politicians well-interlinked in business lobbies and and cliques and Seilschaften in the background. I used to think not too bad of him - before he joined Bush's administration, after his UN show at the latest his reputation on my scale fell to almost zero, and when I took that as a reason to check a bit his background, his reputation fell even more, below zero and into the red numbers.

I put some trust into a volunteer for a political career, and I got punished immediately. Serves me right - I should have known better. To my defence I can honestely say that I make this mistake only every couple of years. Do not trust politicians - never.

Are it must be hard for him not able to nip out to the local Barbers judging by that nasty crude cut. :haha:
