The term “Dying” reflects to getting tortured to death.

    I couldn’t find news articles from the BBC, or Al Jazeera, or reuters to substantiate this report

      Dude if he was getting tortured to death do you really think the government funded BBC would tell us about it🤣🤣🤣.

      Everyone treats Edward Snowden like the hero he is only because he didn’t get caught and he left in time to not have a fake sexual misconduct charge slapped on him to sway public opinion.

      This man leaked a bunch of the US intelligence agencies tools and techniques for spying on people, including spyware that hides in the firmware of an Apple thunderbolt Ethernet adapter.

      Obviously the government hates this man and has done everything in their power to bring him down.

      Seriously read into the CIA’s or NSA’s misconduct in the past( like giving anything that breathed LSD in the name of science, including people with mental illnesses and prisoners of war) and tell me these guys wouldn’t lie to the public because they don’t want all their dirt leaked. And after catching the person do something horrible to him for revenge and not tell anyone.

      But at the same time I wouldn’t consider a random YouTube channel asking for money a credible source any more then I would consider government funded propaganda a credible source outside of sports news.

        100%. Yes. If Julian assange appeared in court with physical signs of torture, it would be on every news outlet you could imagine.

        But agreed, this YouTube video is pretty goddamn sketchy.

          And you don’t think they wouldn’t use psychological torture like whiteroom torture, sleep deprivation, and many other types of non physical torture that you can look up (if you can stomach what some people put others through) on him. I honesty really hope they aren’t torturing the guy, but that doesn’t stop me from suspecting they probably are after how much trouble he caused them.

            We can speculate forever. We don’t have evidence of that. We don’t even have Julian assange saying that in his public court appearances.

            There would actualy be no benefit of torturing him in secret, it doesnt act as a derrent for others in any way.

      He is not dying by the means of passing away but he is getting tortured to death.
