Every member of the press that said nothing and did nothing, will have hunder questions now. Shame on all of you.
Sydney AUST.
I totally agree with you on that.
Agreed 100%
spot on comment, they way they cover it now in jubilation but most so silent for so many years.
@@killerbee1647 Pathetic plan & simple.
He poked the 🐻.
Reality people…
He did NOTHING WRONG. PRESS TURNED THEIR BACK ON HIM
Who owns the media?
Press was jealous from his independent journalism
@@asielmundo
Agree 💯
Australian press are cowards.
Australia did nothing for Assange?
His crime was exposing other people's crimes.
exposing deep state member's crimes
This man should have never been arrested in the first place!
Totally ! ❤
Assange has committed a criminal offence and he has paid his price to civilization!
Amén 🙏
Agree
Where was the Australian government 12 years ago. ???
Probably backstabbing each other in politics.
They were hanging out in the far right of the nastiness spectrum, I.e. the Libs. That government damaged millions of people, privatised publicly owned assets and services and sent Australians backwards.
You mean the libs?
And Holland , president of France refused to offer asylum to Assange who asked for it in 2015. He is a disgrace .
@@panpan581How is Assange a disgrace???
Julian did nothing more than journalism. The US was frightened, because he did it well without kowtowing to the establishment
And presently we have seen the sheer bigotry and hypocrisy of the uSA violating international rule based laws to protect and fund and arm a genocide committing terrorist state of Israel!
It was the us government. Not the US people. Americans love Julian.
@@cynderella5627Specifically Ex-President Trump who gave the order to his Justice Department to prosecute Julian Assange. Trump wanted the CIA to kidnap Assange from the Ecuadorian Embassy and have him assassinated.
Trump was desperately frightened of Assange, not the majority of We the People who support the 1st Amendment Freedom Of The Press.
let me guess...you hate US but love Iran/CCP/Hamas/Taliban etc etc...how did i go?
Shame on Amerika. Shame on Sweden. Shame on England. Shame on the media who let them do it as they did.
And especially shame on AUSTRALIA for not DEMANDING his release!
Shame on the whole australia that haven't done the least effort to defend him and release him out of the hands of those global thugs.
JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE!!!!!!
TERRORISTS of the World REJOICE!!!!
How much freedom do you think he has? He pleaded guilty,if he puts a foot out of place the Americans will come after him again….don’t misunderstand,I would have done the same.
assange is a modern day hero
I'm so embarrassed and ashamed of my country 💔 Happy reunion to the Assange family, and so much gratitude for the journalism that Julian has done.
Me too !!! Welcome home ...
Not proud of mine either for refusing asylum.
Yep, we have a lot to be ashamed of here
There were many moving parts in many countries, but the supporters were also in many countries. Remember that for the next fight, which is coming (and here already anyway).
Lol because he is the opposite extreme of most Aussie . Aussie is practicing secret democracy with no ideology which is obvious.
typical shameless reporters
My thoughts exactly
Those are a shame for society
The reporters conduct, so poor😢😢😢😢🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Yes, but this is a massive thing in Australian history
@@necroman0011no excuse anyway
Sincerest apologies to Julian Assange's Legal Team & Wife Stella for the disgraceful behaviour of the Press.
The Assange's atrocity reflects how corrupt American policy have become
......yes and what a horrible influence it is to other countries when it comes to some of these worldly issues
@@brairr9966A tyrant targeted Assange. Assange was accused of Espionage by a vindictive autocrat who was (and is) trampling down the US Constitution, and dismantling the Bill of Rights while he's at it. In November, Democracy will be at risk of extinguishment. If there were ever to be an Antichrist on earth, he's it.
"become"?
Have always been
It's Because it was Hillary Clintons lap top... She and her ilk are Highly Corrupt
@@anitapodsudek8041 Not always. For example they did help win against mustache man.
Julian Assage came out a hero, the US came out as cowardly!
and Terrorists win again
They came out as a corrupt and criminal institution!!!
Surely the jet and recovery should be paid by the US and UK?
HAHA, that's very funny.
@nickbielby 7095; IMO, by both, or shall we say by Mike Pompeo and the military industrial complex;
Better to pay bill gates and let wef do what they have been doing.
Find a way to resolve who is paying our governments...
The last talks in Italy only for 7 was 30 million.
Much less of a charter.
And more important your right to be informed costs 14 years of jail life to Assange
Australia is weak
It's not a HUGE win; he had to plea deal for something he DIDN'T DO!
Agreed, But he is walking free with his head up, except in the USA where he needs a pardon.
@@favesongslistUSA is the only place that I would never live, because the GREATEST CRIMINALS LIVES THERE.
Zackly, does not matter what he signed, it matters he has the hearts and mind of people, thats real power.
@@tracyeaves4847 to us it doesn’t matter what he had to sign in order to be free.
But to the US, it does. In the future if Julian says anything that the US disagrees, they will come after him.
In US law, a felony is typically defined as a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment of not less than one year or by the death penalty. And Julian pleaded guilty to a felony charge….I would have done the same,
@@sammyo2583you're right. What a shame
No wonder Julian loves Stella. She’s an absolute jewel 💎
what a Love Story ❤️
Such a strong woman and team👌
She is very elegant and articulate
She made me 😢
Australian gov. Is scandalous in greeting a man they ignored. Julian is the greatest journalist ever
The CURRENT government didn’t ignore him they’ve been fighting for his freedom and putting pressure on Biden and the UK for years.
Albo is not my favourite person, but he did come to Julian defence when he was in opposition,and he did hold negotiations behind the scenes to have Julian released
What a rude bunch of reporters😢
they are not reporters or journalists. just vampires
Oh you mean those vultures? Yes they are noisy
All these vulture press people coming out of the woodworks while staying silent for all these years.
❤Very true.
No honour among thieves
It's so gross.
IF YOU READ THIS MR ASSANGE, YOU PUT YOUR SELF & YOUR WIFE 1ST MATE, be there just for them & you, you earned it
Julian freedom is our freedom!
I like that idea however …..
❤
Juliancracy 🤤
do you mean spending about 5 years in prison and then be free? doesnot sound "freedom"
100%
JULIAN IS FREE! No Restrictions, No Gag Order! Astounding, Thank You to STELLA & the lawyers especially & ALL Supporters!!! JULIAN YOU ARE LOVED & APPRECIATED, THANK YOU for your Public Service to Humanity, to TRUTH & JOURNALISM!!! Be Well, Sending So Much LOVE💜💜💜🕊️
Best wishes from Poland Julian. We always loved You !
Milo to uslyszec
Thank you ,JULIAN. You fought for free speech - we fought for you - a generational hero - thank you thank you thank you .
So happy your home - Western Australia 🇦🇺
True
💯 %
If you have eyes that can see an have ears that comprehend. This press conference made it very clear that the US ended up buckling knowing that if Julian was allowed to present the facts of his case. Then the whole world would know exactly. What the US government has been up to and even more prove more disclosure. As an American. I’m very sorry for the pain that US has caused Julian his family and his community. There are no words to that convey how awful our government has treated this man. Welcome to Freedom mr. Julian Assange. You are a true hero!
What it actually proves is that the rule of law is supreme in the US. All that talk about the CIA assassinating him, or that he was going to be sent to Guntanamo or whatever, was and has always been utter nonsense.
I wonder how much of Julian is left in him. The US took so much from him.
It didnt take what matters most, his consciousness and humanity. The respect I see for him everywhere tells the story about how he kept live what matters.
What is it to you "how much is left in him"?
Maybe you should wonder how much you can give him back?
@@fongponto what do you suggest anyone can give Julian back?
100% is my guess
@@Balcon200 Humanity? In 2013 he wore a war poppy to court, despite knowing better than most of Britain's war crimes.
I am so happy he is free. We should hold a parade and honor him as a hero through the streets of every major city in Australia
💯
Julian Assange is free! A hero of all times. Grateful for all he has done. From the Dominican Republic.
a hero for terrorists of the world...what a man!!!
Happy for Mr.Assange and his family but it tastes bitter sweet!!
why?
@@caperbabyloneNo justice, also majority of people still unaware of the state of the world.
@@caperbabyloneJA had to plead guilty
Exactly
_Justice delayed ..._
Protect Julian at all costs. Rest and relax now mate. You deserved better.
This was an American disgrace. Civil rights are a thing of the past. Happy for Assange.
Welcome home Julian Assange! ❤
Their power and control was harmed that's why they wanted to throw him away and try to make the world forget about what they have done!!
Yes they should all the time they want. We must leave them in peace. So happy they are all together and safely home.
Glad to see him free.
We want nothing more from Julian but his full recovery in body and spirit. Heal and enjoy life and freedom at last.
The Australian journalists need to respect Julian and stop asking questions about any wrong doing. He fought for our freedom
And for the freedom of journalists. They should treat him well and leave him alone till he’s ready to speak to them.
AND they should pick up the ball and continue the fight (better late than never?)
I'm so glad we got him back home..and safe.
We should all push for freedom of the press. Imperative at this time.
Free RT and Graham Phillips!!!
Welcome home Julian- you are the perfect example of what a true journalist should be. 🙏
I can't believe it's 12 years since I saw you in at the Supreme court in the UK. Shocking behaviour by the legal system that opened my eyes to the criminality of my own government. Words are not enough to thank you Julian.
Julian Assange is on par with the Mandela's of this world ... not broken by tyranny.
Julian had great American lawyers who really really worked for him. Thank you to them. Julian should never have been locked up anywhere from the beginning. Negative media shd also pay him.
Welcome home Julian. We owe you and your family a great debt for what you have endured. You are a hero. A disgrace it took so long.
Would end up being fired or worse.
Really glad to hear the news that he's back in Australia don't agree with the treatment he received UK and USA should be ashamed
Greetings from Romania to Julian and his family. Yes, you are loved worldwide Julian Assange, your Freedom is our Freedom!
🇦🇺✊💜 welcome home Julian 🇦🇺
Starts at 58:52
ThankYou
You da person
Stay strong Julian.. You were always innocent and we all know it ! War criminal's must pay for everything including your years in prison
Well, to be fair he supported war criminals by treacherously wearing a poppy to court in 2013.
There's been at least 5 Australian prime ministers in Australia since this saga began, and not one of them once spoke out against Julians treatment when they were in office. More than a decade before anything ever happened to help him. Never once did I hear any of our prime ministers lobby the UK government to have him released and returned to Australia.
Absolute bs
And the press should have stood up for the truth during Covid too. Come on journalists. Stand up
For the truth and freedom of speech.
They can’t bcause they have been compromised. The fish rots from the head down.
And Jeffrey Epstein, chemical weapons accusations in Syria, 9/11 ...
what is really sickening is that Rudd, Albanese and others who refused to assist him are now basking in the limelight as if it were their doing.
What else would you expect from them? 😮💨
Elections coming up and Albos poll ratings have dropped through the floor. Its all political
Thay are desperate to win the next election.....
They are America dogs .
What you are talking about?
Without these 2 he would not be free
USA so happy that Julian is FREE. This never should have happened
Much love for Julian he is a hero❤️❤️❤️❤️
An answer to prayer, strength to Julian Stella and family. 👏🏻🙏🏻
Why am I sensing (and what does it say that) some members of the press are less than impressed/pleased by this turn of events?
that we live in a totalitarian state
That’s because none of them would ever be in danger of becoming a true journalist.
The press are beholden to their masters, who are unforgiving in their maliciousness
Because some journalists can be bought or threatened by their cr1minal bosses.
Greetings from México. Keep exposing the real criminals.
People interrupting should be ashamed of themselves. Oh wait I forgot, shame doesn’t exist anymore.
Maybe not for them shameless people
Pleased this travesty of justice has come to end.
I`m still afraid for him.
But at what price?
@@lechat8533 I'm not. He has done his work. He doesn't need to do anything now. No one needs to be scared of him anymore, he's an old man. What matters is that he was locked up for just the right years so that he could not expose more secrets.
@@lechat8533 same here, mate.
@@beejayxl9018 afraid for him is what was written, not afraid of him
I wish they wouldn’t talk to the press, they owe them nothing.
Obviously a gaggle of vultures asking questions. Not one question about Juliens well being. How is he doing? How is his health? How is he feeling?
Exposing the truth, no matter how embarassing or how inconvenient, should never be a crime and should never be punished. Julian Assange is a hero, even if perhaps the majority are too sheepish and sychophantically revere even abusive power and authority, to recognize this, or to recognize the importance and merit of allowing the governed to know the truth.
Kudos to Stella Assange, John Shipton and all those who struggled valiantly for his freedom, and who celebrate Julian's now long overdue release from unjust detention.
I personally, believe that Julian Assange is indeed one of our greatest heros in the struggle against evil, and (personally) feel slightly less wounded and slightly less oppressed, knowing the Julian has finally been freed. Thank you.
In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. George Orwell
1000th of hugs with love❤❤❤ to the whole family
The truth will set us all free!
Bravo Wikileaks!
He is loved
Investigative journalism is an important, if not essential, element of just and democratic society and acts at its best in the public interest.
Those brave enough to defend human rights in such a way contribute at the highest level.
Julian Assange is a national hero. Now watch his rise to the top. His words will shake the world and I cannot wait to hear his story. Please, where may I donate to the Assange family?
Stella has started a fundraiser+-hurry before it’s shut down, which is in July sometime.
Very much glad he’s back in Australia, it’s unbelievable how the United States handled this case as a whole, it’s a disgrace to the American constitution and free speech/journalism and set a dangerous precedent.
Hopefully in the future countries begin to call out the US on its rights abuses just as they do to Russia and China, like this case and many others.
Australia must not be afraid to call America what it is, a train wreck and a disgrace.
Julian is a HERO. I call for statues to be built on every continent for his heroic actions!
Americans know what you have done for all of humanity. This will not be something that we just brush under the rug.
Julian is INNOCENT. The Same Government trying to charge him, the same people who have threatened his life are the ones he was exposing, and we all know who are now. Republicans and Democrats. We see all of you.
Rest easy Julian, we are still going to fight for you! We won't let this be memory holed! Jesus bless you always and in all ways!!
Almost 2 decades of punishment for telling the truth!!! NEVER forget this!!
Wow, well said👍 and I agree!
Not really, he just uploaded the documents to his website. Wouldn't the real hero be the person that stole these documents?
Nah... George Floyd statues are the choice of Councils.
He is white,that would create a stumbling block no doubt!
go Terrorists!!!
He should have never been tried for speaking & publishing the truth, so happy hes home now with family, you can see the overwhelming response from Stella ,I'm sure there are a lot of very high elites wondering if he going to talk about the other things he knows, I'd love to see an interview with Tucker Carlson
"No one is hated more than he who speaks the truth" ~ Plato.
When you have corruption at every level of government only a fool would expect justice.
Glad he is back. Jennifer Robinson is a class act as an attorney.
So happy for Mr Julian Assange 🥳🥳. Have a Lovely, Joyful family reunion! May blessings be great n abundant for you all 🙏🙏🙏
Julian Assange should be left alone and not hunted down by the media to give press conferences everywhere he goes. Besides, there could be various DNAs in place for him to keep quiet on a variety of topics. The media are like vultures and will not leave him alone. Hope all will subdue as time goes by.
❤ FROM JULIAN AND FAMILY❤
WE ARE PROUD OF YOU🎉🎉🎉

Thank you ❤️

We love❤Julian Assange.
His wife deserve the praise for being relentless in the pursuit of Julian's freedom. Thank you Stella. You two are heroes!!❤❤❤
Hugs from cologne germany Julian ❤
I pray he is protected and able to complete his mission
Shame on America! Shame!
The behavior of the press during her conference is an absolute disgrace!
Long life for Julian.
His crime was to shine a light on the behaviour of governments. Basically he embarrassed them. The behaviour of UK & US governments in forcing Mr Assange to endure this 14 year ordeal is truly shameful
Shame on all “journalists” who did not stand up for Julian Assange
Where was this most important press conference held, in a night club?? What was all the seemingly inconsiderate talking and ruckus in the background?
And all the TERRORISTS that have caged and tortured him... run free. With zero accountability! 🎯
Which means NO ONE is "free"... and the tyrants got away with their criminal shenanigans AGAIN... with impunity. 🤬💩💩💩
Sound, disorder and bad manners. Most chaotic press conference! Shame on you for not making a better coverage for your colleague and this extreme moment in history that will never be forgotten! I'm so happy for Julian and I pray that he'll recover!
Numerous reporters have no clue what this means despite being in the room. Shame.
That’s because they are only reporters and not journalists.
Who are all the rude people making all the noise in the background?
The Americans🤣
I never thought this day would come, So happy.
Voting time must be coming up!
Trump should apologize to Assange and to the U.S. and to the journalists of the entire world. Right now. And he should promise, and mean it, that his first act as president will be pardons for Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and every journalist who is being persecuted by the U.S. and U.K. governments.
Hear, hear!
This make my day ! Happy to see him home. But this is what happens when you speak out the (truth) you get stabbed in the back. They don't want the real truth to get out. All of Australia is now your family, welcome home !
Timing is everything. Why now, after all this time? Why did this take so long?
Biden needs votes.
He was about to win on appeal by citing the US First Amendment as a defense.
with the US Presidential election coming up in November, it would be very embarrasing for the US Federal Government to approach that event with Julian Assange a free man. A free man who was not guilty of the charges levelled against him by the IC, MIC, and US Deep State (amongst many others).

@@petrabremer6646🎯
ASSANGE is hero and a Plea deal with war criminal terrorists says everything.
His poor family went thru so much. His wife very strong woman
To the British Government(s) past and present - thanks for nothing!
To the British Government👎👎👎
To his wife❤❤❤
As a U.S. citizen i am so ashamed of the conduct of our Criminal Government who is very much against Free Speech and very Pro Censorship. i hope and pray that we get new more friendly to the cause, leadership in November...Bless you Mr. Assange for you commitment to free speech and the sacrifices you an yours have had to endure. i hope you never face anything even remotely close to what you have gone through ever again. thank you Sir.
Love is all you need ❤
