Journalist Julian Assange has been released from the maximum-security prison where he had been for the last five years, after agreeing with U.S. authorities to plead guilty to charges of leaking state secrets. It's a joyous day for all journalists, especially those who dared to stand up against all-powerful governments.
Our dear Foulis, in one of the countless podcasts he appears on daily, dropped a bombshell hinting that among those who fought against him were people now in the leadership of Synagermos! He did not clarify who he meant but meaningfully took a sip of rose milk.
