Now Julian Assange is really in the crosshairs

As much as some people may talk about it, the assassination of Julian Assange by Americans is very unlikely, if only because there is no convenient place to drop a drone missile on him. His latest move, however, will make him very vulnerable.
Novaya Gazeta, the Moscow newspaper controlled by former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and billionaire Alexander Lebedev, said it agreed to join forces with WikiLeaks to expose corruption in Russia.

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, which publishes secret government and corporate documents online, has materials specifically about Russia that haven’t been published yet and Novaya Gazeta will help make them public, the newspaper said on its website today.

“Assange said that Russians will soon find out a lot about their country and he wasn’t bluffing,” Novaya Gazeta said. “Our collaboration will expose corruption at the top tiers of political power. No one is protected from the truth.”
Unless the leaks have been fully vetted by the current Russian government, Assange is toast. Pooty-Poot is a very sensitive man who has absolutely no scruples about using state power.
