The Father John Shipton: The Goal of The US Government Was to Bankrupt WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, and His Family
WebM: Assange's release 'cherry on top of a handsome birthday cake,' says father
The clip above is from this video (1:03 - 1:41), which is connected to or overlaps "Judge wishes Julian Assange ‘happy birthday’ before freeing him after 12 years" (today is his birthday).
These vicious tactics are not unprecedented. Years earlier (a decade ago) Aaron Swartz too hanged himself for fear the government would bankrupt his family.
These are the minds of crooks and spies, not empathetic, mentally-solid human beings who belong in positions of authority and power. Assange's father says towards the end of the video that the aim was to stop (albeit Australians managed to overcome) a "superpower in its attempt to destroy an Australian citizen." █
