    Grandes cosas pueden suceder para aquellos que creen en Dios. Estaba deprimido porque tenía una deuda de más de 12,000, pero a Dios sea la gloria, saldé mi deuda y sigo ganando para mí y mi familia. Dios bendiga a la Sra. Regina Maria Howard, Dios la ha usado para cambiar muchas vidas. 🇺🇸
  • Today is a good day. Thank God he is finally free. Thank you Julian for your sacrifice to help wake up the world to the corruption of our governments.

    Orwell would be rolling his eyes.
  • So he does the right thing & he's labeled a criminal. He then pleads guilty to the supposed crime & now they let him walk? This stupid planet makes no sense to me.
  • @impuseuser
    But what about hunter biden and his conviction?

    GOD BLESS JULIAN ASSANGE ❤❤❤❤❤
  • @gazoontight
    You know that they were afraid of what else he might know. It took 14 years but the truth eventually did win against lying crooked people.
  • @deonlubbe6127
    Jailed for being not guilty, freed for pleading guilty, what am I missing????
  • @hf..7271
    After 14 years of legal battle , Assange! could go home as a free man ! Praise the Lord ! 😭🙏❤️
  • @acatal2919
    It is so great to see Julian Assange is free man!
  • @pg9112471
    They made him sign a non disclosure agreement. I'm sure of it. Remember he did not release everything. He held back the most sensitive info.
  • @sl4983
    I'm so happy for him. 🙏
  • The Australian PM put the 75 year ANZUS treaty on the line to get this done. He did not hold back according to sources.The US have three critical bases in Australia. 1. Pine Gap, the CIAs billion dollar sky base and surveillance system covering China. 2. Exmouth US Naval communications Base which controls all US Naval and Submarine comms over the Indian Ocean, and 3. the US Marines Base near Darwin. The first two would go dark rendering the US nilitary blind from Africa east to Guam and the Marines would be told to go home. Thats how far it got and just like with China, we do not get bullied by a superpower. The US dropped all but one charge and deal was with time spent in prison. Biden knew that a major row was looming with Australia running up to the November election that he could not afford to lose.

    He was made to be an example of never, ever expose the Swamp/Dementiacrats.
  • @cmathias4993
    People are misunderstanding that he served time in the UK which allowed him to not do prison time in America

    Why cant the U.K. arrange for the release of Jimmy Lai?
