Assange is an Australian, not an american citizen. To be a traitor to america, one has to be of the nationality. An Australilian cannot be a traitor to america any more than an american can be a traitor to Australia. But don’t expect the morons who represent the lobbyists to know this much.
The problem being that America thinks the rest of the world are its apple-polishers - to be treated and mistreated accordingly.
Forget "banana republics", the US is now a lawless State that is completely out of control.
I wonder if someone will be sitting fiddling as it burns and crumbles?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
