WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has filed a sweeping criminal complaint in Sweden accusing 30 Nobel Foundation officials of misappropriation, facilitating war crimes, and turning the Peace Prize into what he calls “an instrument of war.”

Assange is asking Swedish authorities to immediately freeze the 11 million SEK prize money before its transfer to Machado. The complaint says Nobel administrators breached their fiduciary duty by approving a payout to a figure who has openly advocated foreign military intervention.

️ Assange cites statements in which Machado supports US military escalation around Venezuela and endorses strikes that would kill civilians. Nobel officials, he argues, “converted an instrument of peace into an instrument of war.”

Then you sounds have cited those actual sources. Also obviously the footnotes don't work in quotes. You seriously just included a bunch of random numbers in your quote and are now acting like that makes it more credible.

I provided the link to the Wikipedia that has the sources. I'm not obligated to do anything for you.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

And I actually went and checked those sources, and turns out they don't actually say what your quote says they say. No wonder you refused to quote them directly, knowing they didn't support you. (I'm just kidding: obviously you never bothered to check them. Wikipedia is religious scripture to you, divine truth, and the little blue numbers are just sigils of divine power that you never think to actually click through

So he didn't release DNC emails to make Hillary look bad? He didn't get Trump Jr to promote a lie about what Hillary said? He didn't try to use his election interference to get an ambassador position from Trump?

The only thing I was wrong about was that he had RNC emails. Russia never gave them to him.

That's not what's in your Wikipedia quote, you dishonest asshole

"So he didn’t release DNC emails to make Hillary look bad?"

In 7 October, WikiLeaks began publishing emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta

" He didn’t get Trump Jr to promote a lie about what Hillary said? "

In November 2016, WikiLeaks asked Donald Trump Jr. to share a WikiLeaks tweet with the made-up quote

After the election, WikiLeaks and Assange requested that the president-elect Donald Trump push Australia to appoint Assange as ambassador to the US.

" He didn’t try to use his election interference to get an ambassador position from Trump?"

The Wikipedia article I linked earlier has links to every source. I've now provided them for you.

I literally quoted each and every line from my post along with the corresponding Wikipedia quote from my post AND THE SOURCE.

"The only thing I was wrong about was that he had RNC emails."

What the fuck is wrong with you?

I have no idea what you are arguing about.

The post that referenced Wikipedia had 3 claims with sources:

Assange released DNC emails.

Assange had Trump Jr post a lie about Hillary.

Assange asked Trump for an ambassadorship.

Which of these did I not provide sources?

I have said 2 times that I was wrong about Assange not releasing RNC emails because Russia didn't give them to him.

What exactly is the problem you are seeing?

You didn't answer my question.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago
[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

That's still not an answer to the question.

Please quote the lie.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

You're welcome to read back through the thread to see the lie

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Despite your constant aggression, I asked you to please quote it. If you can't do it, that makes you the liar.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

No, that is not how that works

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world -1 points 19 hours ago

You made the assertion that I am a liar. You need to support your assertion.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago
[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 0 points 17 hours ago

Repeating, "You are a liar." isn't proof. It is the assertion you need to show evidence of.

I think it's now clear you keep repeating, "You are a liar." while refusing to provide any proof is because you don't have any evidence.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 hours ago

You’re welcome to read back through the thread to see the lie

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago

I can't prove what isn't there.

Only you can prove your assertion.
