This is An Interesting Offer Although I don’t Believe Assange is Alive-Believe This is Double

We Are Change

Just hours after NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden urged President Obama to “save [Chelsea Manning’s] life by granting her clemency,” Wikileaks’ founder Julian Assange says he will agree to be extradited to the United States if the president grants clemency to the former US soldier Chelsea Manning, who is currently serving a 35-year sentence for leaking documents.

The US Constitution allows a president to pardon “offenses against the United States” and commute — either shorten or end—federal sentences. Obama has so far granted 148 pardons since taking office in 2009 — fewer than his predecessors, who also served two terms, George W. Bush (189) and Bill Clinton (396). But he has surpassed any other president in the number of commutations, 1,176.

We noted previously that there was a number of high profile cases in front of President Obama as he prepares to leave The White House including Edward Snowden who tweeted yesterday…

And now, as AFP reports, Wikileaks’ founder Julian Assange has offered himself up if President Obama releases Manning…

Assange has been living in the Ecuadoran embassy in London since June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations.

The Australian former computer hacker said he fears Stockholm will in turn extradite him to the US, where he angered Washington over WikiLeaks’ publication of thousands of US military and diplomatic documents leaked by former US soldier Manning.

Manning is currently serving a 35-year sentence in solitary confinement for handing over the 700,000 sensitive documents from the US State Department.

Supporters of the transgender soldier are putting their hopes in a pardon by Obama before he leaves office later this month, although the White House has said the president will not be granting her clemency.

Manning has already made two suicide attempts and currently has an appeal pending before a military court.

Washington has maintained the threat of prosecuting Assange over the 2010 leak, though no charges have been filed.

Interestingly, Assange’s offer comes just days after his uncharacteristically emotional interview with Sean Hannity…

“I have been detained illegally, without charge for six years, without sunlight, lots of spies everywhere. It’s tough… but that’s the mission I set myself on. I understand the kind of game that’s being played – big powerful actors will try and take revenge...it’s a different thing for my family – I have young children, under 10 years old, they didn’t sign up for that… and I think that is fundamentally unjust… my family is innocent, they didn’t sign up for that fight.“

Perhaps his hope is that President Trump will pardon him at the end of his term?

My Comment (Admin):  The only justice would be for all these Whistleblowers to be freed:  for Snowden to come back, Chelsea Manning to be free and Assange-if that’s really him which I doubt-note his internet was shut off, police (about 10) have been removed and the collaboration between Hollywood and Washington, D.C. , the use of doubles (look-a-like actors) and the suspicious offer right after the fishy interview on Fox with Sean Hannity (Zionist.)  I think the Assange stunt is being used as a diversion while WW3 maneuvers are being instigated right on Russia’s borders by USA & NATO!  While Assange’s internet was shut down I believe he was interrogated for days by the CIA and murdered.  The Heathrow London airport was evacuated at this time so there would be no snoopy gossips around to take cell phone videos and post them on the internet.  Note that after this the police presence around the Embassy (where Assange has been staying) has been removed.  This is all very fishy including the dubbed, scripted ah, ah, ah Assange interview with Sean Hannity (Zionist) of Fox News (Zionist News Network) and the very fishy video where Assange’s head appeared twice the size of Hannity’s head, they are having an interview while Assange looks at Hannity his interviewer looks at the floor!  C’mon!  Plus Assange wearing the exact same clothes he was wearing during his previous interview with Hannity!
