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.”

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.
