Good thing the CIA is barred from doing anything domestically and they've got eagle-eyed congressional oversight looking out for our interests. Otherwise who knows what they might be up to?

Yes Caitlin, more of this. The tragic lies and propaganda of today’s worst genocidal wars and global stultification can be reduced to a point of great moral clarity and intensity that is the imprisonment of one human being, a bold conveyor of truth, our fellow countryman, whose capture and torture muzzles most all voices, turns ears deaf and blinds eyes. #freeAssange
Assange and, incidentally, Manning deserve so much better. Their good deeds on behalf of all of us will continue to be punished by those for whom the truth is anaethma.
IMHO: Netflix is detritus. Modus Op: Clone every kind of movie/serial/tv show and stuff a catalog for subscribers....Star Wars was a big hit, Netflix could do "War of the Stars", Gone with the Wind....."Gone in a breeze".....Netflix! Endless catalog. Whoopee.
I literally am sending a prayer out on the airwaves for Julian Assange just now. In some ways I can relate to his situation, but not really. He has been in Belmarsh for so long now I reckon he is accustomed to it. Seems as if he is gonna die there as well. Well, if so, then Netflix has the death of an innocent man whose crime of the millennia was telling truth to power. I mean basically he told the truth, he did not come anywhere close to raping those ladies in Sweden, he hung out in Ecuadorian safe-space only to be spied upon, potentially murdered, and then ultimately betrayed. Now he resides in Belmarsh.
So honestly Netflix, if he dies there, then part of that is on YOU!
Have you experienced any time of being imprisoned? It is something to be taken somewhere against your will but what you gonna do when the authorities come to get you? For Julian Assange, he was betrayed by the Ecuadorian authorities, but that comes as no surprise because these little South American countries are easy to bribe. Ain't it evident. I mean facts are facts.
So, then after having been knowingly spied upon, treated with annoyance, then it must have come as no surprise to Julian when they hauled his ass out of the embassy.....beard and all. Then the plopped his ass into Belmarsh to try to make him think that not a one of his ideas or his intent had any value whatsoever. That must be what they are trying to make him think, but the beauty is, and this is where he and I have something in common, they can't take a good idea out of the man. If it is a good idea it will resonate, and then if it does, it will last. Simple as that.
I want the man to have a safe house. He deserves no less.
An accurate picture of America's bleak moral landscape is that not one of the 535 flying monkeys who also collectively go by the name of congress has seen fit to call hearings regarding the shoddy case against Assange and draw attention to what his publishing reveals about us.
This includes not only the gasbag Trump and his fanciful small government, Constitution-clutching, deep state-fighting minions, but also spasmodic do-nothings like AOC and the Squad, who Tweet furiously but mostly take up space on what laughingly passes for the left.
One would think that in a functioning system of government there would be a sizeable vocal faction doing so, and our media would give it maximum coverage. But they're not. And what they are getting away with in their mistreatment of Assange -- who isn't even an American citizen -- can be applied so easily to any of us for any reason.
All I can see is a general strike demanding change. If nothing else, it would make for one hell of a documentary.
"WikiLeaks itself went to the trouble of publishing a line-by-line refutation" - Like this? I don't think you read the whole piece, correct me if I'm wrong.
Caitlin is the alarm bell in the night. Paul Revere didn't shout footnotes. She's trying to wake people up, not run a bed and breakfast. You're comment isn't wrong, just perhaps misplaced.
Given the poor state of our media, I relish someone calling a hatchet job a hatchet job. If I want to find out the gory details -- which Caitlin often references -- I know where to go.
"dead name"? Silly, you can't kill your old self just like that and create a new self. That's called dissociative identity disorder, and can be treated. No need to enforce other people's illnesses. Bit gauche.
It's almost like Media and Entertainment corporations are in collusion with the feds.

Netflix has a long history of broadcasting pro-empire propaganda.
Its efforts to promote the Nazi coup in Ukraine have not gone unnoticed.
Obama has a production deal with Netflix...
Did you just say o has a backdoor revolving door payment deal with a media company?
If only these people had shame enough to use the backdoor. I'm pretty sure they waltz right in the front -- in broad daylight.
Netflix welcomes the opportunity to act as an organ of propaganda in the war against truth.

It’s a much stronger case to use facts to contradict Spin than to resort to labeling like, “hatchet job”!

Can you elaborate on that please. Thanks.
Just trying to get to the facts.
The facts and nothing but the facts the factual facts please. Just the facts. Thank-you.

Do you work for Fox? They have high standards, true. The rest of us try.
