Narrator: there’s no such thing as the Deep State.
Yeah fair tbh.The deep state has nothing to do with Assange. The state quite literally and openly wants him.
The truth, as ever, is somewhere in between IMO. The conspiracy theory that there’s this active government-within-a-government conspiring to impose its will secretly on the nation and the world is farcically silly, but clearly there is a semi-permanent administrative institution that has its own imperatives and influences. It’s just not very organised, or singular.
Of all the memes in the world this is the one I would've expected you to know about. Shocked you weren't in attendance tbh.It really is the look of Succulent Chinese Meal. Which I now cannot stop watching

Everyone except totalitarian autocrats, that is. They can keep their secrets but Steve Jobs can't keep his medical records private, apparently.He believed in a bit of a Utopian fantasy world where by giving everyone no secrecy, corruption would be removed from society. Especially if every 'bad actor' was aware of the fact that what they communicated could be traced, then the planning of corrupt activity would be impossible.
e.g. the democrats in the last election.
There’s no other reason he’d need to hide away of courseNot in court, but hiding in an embassy for 7 years to avoid trial isn't what I would expect an innocent man to do.
