"Arrogance and Ignorance" ... oh, and did we mention hypocrisy?

Assange wasn't after the truth.  He wanted to be recognized as the little guy who took down the Leviathan - the one who changed US policy.  He taunted America by pompously commanding that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama quit their jobs, as if he had any right to make such a demand, given the fact that he's not even a citizen of the United States.

Nicki at the Liberty Zone calls it on how Julian Assange is painting himself as the victim and martyr in the names of Truth and Justice, while Assange basically says "If my information disclosures get people killed, fuck'em, sucks to be them, it's not my problem."

Note the second update in particular.

Filthy scum

Facebook, that is.

I found Facebook spam in my mailbox again today. Inviting me to join up and "find friends".  And at the bottom of the message, there was a "If you want us to go the hell away and stop bothering you" link ...  well, OK, it was more of a "If you do not wish to receive messages like this one from Facebook" link.  And I figured, what the hell, they might honor it.  And the mail reader I use for that mailbox is text only and not UTF8 enabled, so I know there was no funny business in the URL.

Well, gee, look at that.  The "unsubscribe" link does not go to a FUCK THE HELL OFF AND GET YOUR SKANK ASS OUT OF MY MAILBOX page.  It doesn't even go to an ordinary Unsubscribe page or even an "Opt out of our mailing list that we opted you into uninvited after we harvested your email address from god knows where" page.

Nope, it goes to a Facebook sign-up page.

Mark Zuckerberg, I don't CARE if Time put you on their cover, YOU ARE A LYING SACK OF SHIT, and you are a SPAMMER.

Eat shit and die in a fire, you shameless wanker.

As it happens, it was just last night I found myself envisioning this exchange:

<Google>  "Don't be evil."

<Facebook>  SWEET!  Less competition!
