Too many tweets to listen, but some of the most egregious claims he made:

- Spain were going to physically invade Catalonia and cause a Tiananmen Square-like situation

- The president of Spain wanted a "1000 year Reich" (ironic since that president was ousted by a no-confidence vote around a month ago. Guess the Reichs in Spain don't last long)

- Spanish federal Police warned jihadist terrorists that Mossos were following them (Catalonia police)

- Spanish people routinely mob Catalonians with total impunity

- And my "favorite" one, the one time when he said that there's 7.5 millions of Catalonians and if they were mobilized they could oust Spanish armed forces. So yes, basically asking for a civil war.

He's posting links, he's not the one making these claims. The jihadist story is straight from a Spanish newspaper.

If this is the tweet you are referring to, I don't think that's a very honest description. He's clearly talking about their ability to keep polling stations running, and not calling for a civil war.

What difference does it makes that these are links? Is okay to publish anything if it’s a link?

The guy lost his mind. Shame because I actually respected him before this.

It makes a huge difference, you attributed these claims to him. He did not make the claims. If he's truly the person you claim him to be, it shouldn't be very hard to find lies that actually originate from him.

Honestly, one almost gets the feeling that you're only reading the El Pais interpretation of his tweets.

>The guy lost his mind. Shame because I actually respected him before this.

What did you respect him for? What changed? Assange has always been about fighting the western powers. I don't see how his behavior has particularly changed, only his portrayal.

I guess I don't get it. So you're upset with him for posting conspiracy-theory-esque tweets?

Have you been on twitter? Everybody, president included, tweets out ill-informed politically-motivated garbage.

Why do whistle-blowers need to be held to this absurd standard of absolute moral purity (that none of our politicians have) to not be seen as criminals?
