The Go Fund Me is close to £400k after one day. Julian will not be saddled with debt. Those b*stards one last attempt to humiliate him has utterly failed 😂
Yeah. Its going great! Maybe there will be even a bit more to cover medical costs etc.
Of course he will be required to pay steep taxes on these donations. Freedom indeed is not free.
Do you know where to find it? I have looked it up and I don’t see a GoFundMe except one where there is one which raised $50,000 dollars so far
@@JohnJones-oy3md wow!! The so called developed world is ruked by thugs and dacoits. Tax on donations??? Wow!!!
How do I find that Go Fund Me? The one I found only has $54K.
NEVER FORGET what the US government has done to this man!!!
The families of the Iraqis whose murders were war crimes committed by US servicemen will be happy to hear he is free
Yes. He should never have been released. He is nothing but a common criminal.
telling the truth has always been a very dangerous thing to do
@@David-d4k9k Assange has broken no laws in Australia
@@David-d4k9k common criminals drink, do drugs, rob, carjack, you know common crimes. What is common about what Julian Assange is accused of? I don't think it has ever happened before and was a huge deal for certain US politicians.
Brings new meaning to the phrase " freedom ain't free"
Yes, ironically he reported in detail how US uses wars to funnel billions of tax dollars into the pockets of the deep state. Taxes that could be used to support taxpayers in health and education like in Scandinavia for example.
Shakedown.
🎶🎙️"it costs folks like me...a buck-o-five...and if we don't pitch in our buck-o-five, who will? Freedom costs a buck-o-five.." 🎶
@slimfadey2973 - irony is if it weren't for USA the Australian journo Assange wouldn't have any freedom
It's called grifting.
Is $520K the cost every politician is spending for 1 trip?
More
@@jessicadubois9945 Much more plus the cost of all the smoked salmon, caviar and champagne.
Exactly! And who's paying for that? We are!
Great point
Or more, yes! It's other people's money, pollies have no conscience!
Im sure poeple will support him to pay his debt. But its criminal that he has debt, he should be getting paid for damages and all the lost years.
Certainly!
He should sue US government for torture!
Your all being conned big time mate
I'm ashamed what my country did to this man!
this country, like most others is actually run by "jubes". So its not Australian or Americans but the shadow governments that are all puppets of the "small hats". We need to be clear on this, to know who our common enemy really is.

@@ZootZinBootZ likewise
Im ashamed of so much our country is doing . this is just the icing on the cake.

America didn't get their own way. They would have hated that. We need more people like Julian. Proud to be Australian.

@@majorrgeek ? Ned Kelly? Did he expose war crimes, committed by a super power, to the rest of the world? I'll look that up and get back to. 😆
@@catweasle5737 No Good old Ned was a common garden criminal just like Assange, normally acts of espionage are met with the firing squad so I guess that's why Assange is finally seeking refuge in your convict colony

$520k are they absolutely insane???
Sounds like they’re GREEDY 😊
It's a long way and quite a big plane, Burns a lot of fuel and needs to cover the return leg.
That is how the United States.. Hit him and family with financial hardship that their way of punishing him for putting the truth out there😎
Don't blame Assange et al. it is the price of hiring from a commercial jet company.
We need 600,000 folks for $100.00 each to cover the cost period... Let's do it good people and it is the need of the hour...
Bravo Zulu warriors justice for all 💯💌
It's crazy that they can imprison someone for years then say "we'll release you if you lie and admit you're guilty". That's nuts!

Shameful treatment of a courageous and honest journalist. It sets a dangerous precedent for all honest journalists not in the pockets of corrupt politicians, governments and corporations. Now they saddle the family with debt. Shame on society! He's a hero not a felon
David McBride is another whistle blower the world needs to know about
He is no journalist and definitely not a hero. He got his freedom from left wing politicians and diplomats who are soft on law and order issues. nothing to be proud of.
He is not a journalist and definitely not a hero.
@@polarbear3577 WikiLeaks was a news journal
Assange published information on it
Making him a journalist
Showing the atrocities committed during the unlawful invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan shouldn't be considered heroic but something anyone else would do
@@Ktmfan450Just because he put information on the Internet, that does not qualify him as a journalist. Professional journalists don't hack into government emails and classified documents to be put in the public domain. Professional journalists don't commit irresponsible act's like that, they have a Professional code of conduct. Journalists know what is ethical and what is illegal. This is as absurd as referring to someone who cuts down trees as a Carpenter. People need to be more educated.
Assange wil NEVER EVER walk alone. NEVER!
he will go down in history alongside Ned Kelly
He never did. He was always walking with the devil. That's what got him in to so much trouble.
Why?
@@polarbear3577 LOL
Nope cos he's got God walking beside him mate😁👍
The debt was paid by a bit coin millionaire and the general public, he is debt free, free as a bird.
Free to put more people's lives at risk.
@@ZigSputnikUS Judge in Saipan in her summation said it was clear that over time, no lives were at risk. And whose lives did the US claim were at risk?

I hope he sues the arse off them!

I predict that the gofundme for Julian's flight will wind up raising enough money for Julian to retire on.
These people never get to retire mate! They are controlled opposition! He'll be serving the Hidden Hand until he's in his box or they decide to polish him off!
That's an insane amount of money, I'm sure all his supporters will help him with this debt. I'm going to donate. I'm so happy he is home safe.
About 400k in two days, yeah. that is sorted. Donated too btw.
Yep, it's all paid for by an anon bitcoiner. and over 400k pounds raised on go fund.

One person donated 10 Bitcoin (~$650,000) to him to pay for his flight. I wonder who it was. I'm incredibly happy that he's finally free (he's a hero), and he had to take the plea deal because of this health, but it sets a dangerous precedent for the judicial system. It sets a precedent to prosecute journalists that are doing their job, which is to question those in power.

Something fishy about the cost of this flight... surely you could lease a small jet for a lot less than that?
Something fishy about your knowledge of jets, small jets have a range of about 1500 miles, which funnily enough is slightly less than 10000 miles. Also it's called "chartering".

Sending our love to Julian Assange & Family from CANADA as well. Cannot believe they have let him go after all these years. He laid it all on the line for us. FREEEEEEDOM!
Why isn't the US paying for the flight from UK prison to a US court? He was still a prisoner until the US courts sentenced him to time served. Prisoners are never charged for the cost of taking them from prison to court.
Fortunately in our modern world, he can possibly write what will be a - HIGHLY-HYPED "Tell All Book" - and hopefully receive enough royalities to cover his debts...
Let's hope so. He deserves some kind of compensation for unjustly losing so many years of freedom.
And let's get RFK Jr elected so he can wipe out Assange's criminal record and restore his right to pursue just compensation through the courts.
Trump will pardon him
@@Sunnydreamer1470 Trump had FOUR YEARS to stop the prosecution of Assange. Get over your blind faith in Trump.

The Australian or US government or UK government or some combination should have paid for his flight back to Australia. There's no way the Assange family should be responsible for that. Luckily I'd imagine that they will be able to crowd-fund it.
Biden, Albo and Sunak should write it off and compensate him over their 14 years of torture and bloody mindedness.

He can afford it, especially with the lucrative career he's got coming to him freedomhumbug👍
@@skyrocket0113 Lucrative career? He might not be able to have a public life. His health is at risk from years of confinement and torture. He needs to recover. His future income potential is by no means guaranteed.

What a disgrace making him pay the Australian Government for his flight back to Australia how low can you get Albanese.

@@Ktmfan450why then not allowing him to take à regular fly?
@@PelucheetScribouille There are no regular flights between Saipan and Canberra
@@Ktmfan450 Rubbish. He was forced onto that flight. The Aussie govt are pathetic and did not condemn the US and UK for holding one of their citizens hostage for exposing the crimes of the US intel agencies.
I'm so glad Robbie asked the question regarding what exactly happened for this to all fall into place at this moment. There's a lot of curiosity and speculation about that especially among libertarians. Millions of people have worked on this, the Australian government was really key, and there was an upcoming appeal scheduled that would have brought up questions of freedom of expression which would have made European politicians look bad during election year. Amazing job on the part of Assange's lawyers. Other things Mr. Shipton didn't mention include that Biden didn't want to put Assange on trial because of what he might say on the stand. I think there must have been fear too of what it would look like if Assange were to die in prison - he'd be a martyr, especially if they didn't get him to plead guilty to anything. For my part, I still think the fact that Trump said (to Tim Pool at the LNC) he'd pardon Assange did put pressure on Biden to do something quick.
Trump has his chance to pardon Assange and chose not to
@@bbbanks6912 Yes, I know
This case brought people from all political backgrounds together all advocating for his freedom.. We witness how the MSM/broadcasting or press has fallen into the control of global elitists, and freedom of speech is not free, and the silencing of people by cancelling them to keep in line of a narrative, this can only be a disaster for the free world…….
I love that people were tracking his jet. I sent a Thank you letter to the capitol hoping it would improve his chances of actually making it home. This is so great.

Trump has his opportunity to pardon Assange and chose not to.
You're right. Trump was threatened and intimidated by the intelligence and military community. I honestly think he was too scared in the Jan 6 aftermath to roll with it. And he needed these ultra-conservative people who were against that pardon to support him in a future run. Shows that he should have done these pardons early on in the administration, not leave it until the very last moment.
Trump is the one who indicted him. Trump is a FAKE.

Gabriel, brother of Julian Assange, is well spoken. I never knew julian had a brother. I met julian long ago at Fort Benning. Ironic my first English is British English as was my kidnapper from age two Ivan from u.s.s r., his first English was British English. I hid my British English from my childhood in Texas then Alabama schools, ran away age 21 to military, got tossed into c.i.a as k g.b creative warfare stage 1 in any world war. No world war happened all those 35 years now honourably retired. Julian helped me break difficult codes by his control of a room of giant computers. If computers couldn't break codes, Julian often silently walked up to me, lt.colonel rank all 35 years, he handed me the code for people to break code using human creativity. Never did julian speak more than grunt yes, no and smile at me. I had no idea his English as mine wasn't American English. He was very much little brother to me, and remains dear.

37 million of Assange's legal expenses were covered by blockchain assets including Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) (NFTs, are blockchain-based tokens that each represent a unique asset like a piece of art, digital content, or media). The fact that Assange is now being hit with a transportation bill for 500k is chickenfeed by comparison and will most likely be covered by one of his attention seeking, brand building celebrity friends who want to be perceived as radically chic in the wake of Assange's release.
That would be a huge relief. Julian deserves to be able to retire now in peace and without debt.
He will go down in history as a hero to be remembered for 100 years.
Wow! Your cynicism speaks volumes. Julian should be recompensed for illegal imprisonment. His exposure of war crimes by the self appointed policeman of the world, America, was necessary and interestingly, they have never appeared at the Hague to be accountable for those war crimes. You don't embarrass or expose the 'most powerful country in the world'. Good on Julian. We will help him here in Australia.
@kalayne6713 Watch and wait; celebs and ex-celebs will flock to his side with the hope that they can bask in his post-incarcerated fame and steal some of his light in much the same way that they did when he was held up at the Ecuadorian embassy - narcissistic celebs who have been conspicuously silent during his five years of incarceration. As for your assertion that Julian should be compensated for a politically driven prosecution, that ship sailed when he wisely took a plea agreement. Assange's persecution/prosecution was affected with the aid of four presidents, two parties, the US intelligence community, US state department, and NATO/ SEATO related political and intelligence communities with the aim of neutralizing him and his freedom-of-speech ilk (i.e. unaligned media). Assange would have been sitting in prison until the cows came home regardless of who was democratically elected in the US. Had it had not been for Bobby Kennedy making a pledge to pardon Assange (if elected), Biden never would have green lighted a plea bargain
@@kalayne6713 Australia did NOTHING for him until the current government stepped in because Albanese (just like any other leader in the world) smelled blood and that Biden is weak, that's the right moment to hit the U.S. with a pressure campaign (or war) - when they have a weak President.

He has to PAY for the Australian Government to do it's job? Never happening.
He should own that airplane for that fee!
Regular flight from Saipan to Canberra is 39 hours
That's why it cost so much
Why wasn't he allowed to just use a commercial flight? That's a gross waste of resources.
Assange arrived in Australia after a couple hours
Commercial Saipan to Canberra is usually 20hrs up to 39hrs and multiple stops
money aint a thing
Using a commercial flight may have put passengers at risk, because there are surely enemies of Assange that would stop at nothing to "get him ". Very glad he is safely home. God bless his family.

God please, bless Julian Assange is a hero of truth and his family forever.
God bless mate👍
Didn't the New York times publish some of that stuff as well. Who's going to prison at the New York times for doing the exact same thing that Julian did. That's a 5-year term someone needs to cover. If we're prosecuting publishers New York times and others needs to be prosecuted
Shame on all the politicized people who have let this truthful person down. Such a disgrace to humanity!
ESATTO he is not a politician He is a journalist who must inform..
How many times do I have to say this, he is not a journalist. To call him a journalist is a insult to real journalists.
Oh don't worry there will be a GO FUND ME set up for him too.
The continude abuse of this HERO by The Five Eyes (This whole affair looks Moe like the FSB) is shamelessly on display!
I think they want to make sure he is in no position to set up another wikileaks type operation.
So happy his home where he belongs so happy for his family ...god bless him
God bless ya mate!😁👍
Freedom in Australia 😮
Not really a journalist.
They should only charge him for the flight from Guam to Australia. Before that, he was still a prisoner.
Assange needed to go to Guam to avoid being held on US mainland soil
Thanks for the solid coverage. You've got to maintain composure. I'll miss Bri's fire but not the brimstone. At last, Assange is freed. So overdue.
Why is he not allowed to fly like any normal person on a commercial plane? This is truly very terrible.
Why is everybody worried about his $500,000 flight? This guy will be fine there will be a way he can make tens of millions of dollars off his name alone and I bet you that happens in less than a year. And I doubt he's just still broke
and he earn it
The unwashed crowdfunders will bail him out mate & that's before he starts his lucrative career👍
AUSTRALIAN PRIMEMINISTER CONGRATULATIONS.. THANKYOU FROM AUSTRALIA!!!!!!
The same PM you just praised, has said that he disapproves of his actions.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returned to his homeland Australia aboard a charter jet on Wednesday, hours after pleading guilty to obtaining and publishing US military secrets in a deal with Justice Department prosecutors that concludes a drawn-out legal saga.
The criminal case of international intrigue, which had played out for years, came to a surprise end in a most unusual setting with Assange, 52, entering his plea in a US district court in Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands. The American commonwealth in the Pacific is relatively close to Assange’s native Australia and accommodated his desire to avoid entering the continental United States.
Assange was accused of receiving and publishing hundreds of thousands of war logs and diplomatic cables that included details of US military wrongdoing in Iraq and Afghanistan. His activities drew an outpouring of support from press freedom advocates, who heralded his role in bringing to light military conduct that might otherwise have been concealed from view and warned of a chilling effect on journalists. Among the files published by WikiLeaks was a video of a 2007 Apache helicopter attack by American forces in Baghdad that killed 11 people, including two Reuters journalists.
Assange had flown from a London prison to Saipan in a charter jet and flew in the same aircraft to the Australian capital Canberra on the same day.
He was accompanied on the flights by Australian Ambassador to the United States Kevin Rudd and High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Stephen Smith, both of whom played key roles in negotiating his freedom with London and Washington.
The flights were paid for by the “Assange team", Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles said, adding his government played a role in facilitating the transport.
💥Crowdfunder Free Julian Assange💥
No save your hard earned dosh!
