Boy, the oligarchs really shut him up, eh? Haven't heard a peep from him for a year or more. Scared as a jackrabbit running from the sound of buckshot. Wasn't he turned over to the swedes yet to face 'sex charges'? Ecuador will give him up for the right price. Watch.

Has he released any new secrets lately or is he just doing the old song and dance soft shoe routine on RT?

Sorry, he disappointed me. He stormed out of the gates hard and folded about half way through the race.

Whatever happened to that blockbuster TARP bank info that had us sitting on the edge of our seats?

I don't want to sit through all the small talk.

Can you direct me to the part that discloses new secrets of substance?

I can't figure this Assange character out. I mean once Assange made an overt decision to publicly out US embassy communications that really embarrassed the US government - he had to know he would be in their crosshairs. He seems like a fairly intelligent man. Did he think that he would intimidate the US government and scare them away or something? Didn't he think past Act I of his little scripted play? Once you go halfway down that road the honorable thing to do would be to go total balls to the wall and show all the cards you got. Not to go run and hide in the Ecuadorian Embassy. Once the Ecuadorians throw him out on the sidewalk he's a sitting duck and goes straight to jail and later to a London airport to board a flight to Sweden on the Swedish taxpayer's dime. Doesn't this guy ever think in advance - or does he always act so impulsively? Is he dealing with a full deck? Seriously, I can't figure Assange out. Help me!

I get the impression that Assange was "playing poker" and thought he had a almost guaranteed winning hand and was acting accordingly. Then, somewhere along the line, he figured out that the Establishment had a better one.
