Julian Assange is ill, and needs an MRI. But he does not dare go to a hospital for one, because he could be arrested and sent to the US.

The troll may have violated campaign finance laws when paying money to porn stars not to talk about their visit to his hotel room — for the sake of his campaign.

Aside from this, I don't think there was anything wrong in that one activity of his. I condemn him for the many truly bad things he does; but if paying for silence about sex were the worst thing he had done in the past two years, he would be a great president.

It is a mistake to attack evil political figures over minor side issues. Here are the general reasons:

The NSA has deleted "honesty" from its statement of values.

I am looking for people to (in India) make and sell buttons that say, "DON'T BE TRACKED  PAY CASH", in English and/or a local language, to resist the campaign against cash. Talk with a local company that makes buttons, buy a batch of 50 to 500 buttons for a quantity price, then sell them for 2 or 3 times that price.

If outrage becomes too cheap, it loses impact.

So it is important to support human rights causes persistently. Don't expect to win quickly, and be prepared to take action again, and again, and again.
