Will Julian Assange Come Into Play 2012?
Anonymous became famous during the 2008 election in which they hacked the private emails of Sarah Palin. This aided the press in showing the public her . . . issues.
So now Julian Assange is almost, almost being granted Asylum by the Ecuador government, but the Brits threatened to storm the embassy the other day.
With PIPA and SOPA being backed by corporate sponsors--do you think the election conversation might shift because of conversation on Citizens United? If it will not shift 'naturally', should liberal Dems push it in that direction?
Just wondering what you guys think. Seems like a good election issue to bring attention to corporate malfeasance which uses Republicans to hide their crimes.
President of Ecuador got his Ph.D. in America, but has a little bit of a grudge against mainstream media.
British government were waiting to push this extradition until the end of the Olympics.
Got a blog too with some more linkage.
