Julian Assange to speak via live feed @11:45 central time Aug. 6 at Green Convention in Houston-CONFIRMED!
Now this is interesting. The Guardian had a tidbit hidden in its article about Bernie Sanders backers turning to the Green Party.
Adding to the sense of the Green party as an irritant for Democrats, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange may address the convention via video link on Saturday, about two weeks after carefully timed leaked emails showed that Democratic National Committee officials seemingly plotted to undermine Sanders’ campaign, causing a storm and adding to his loyalists’ antagonism towards Clinton and the party.
I also found this press release announcing the Assange live feed.
Fascinating! We know Assange is not helping Hillary. Could he be endorsing Jill Stein?

Interesting choice of city to
Interesting choice of city to host the convention. The oil company town with terrible air pollution...

Probably the price was right
But it also gives them something to point at.

Evidently one of the convention catchphrases is
Houston...we have a solution.
Actually, CA cities rank higher in air pollution than Houston
Across the board. H-town is 6th on ozone, and 20th on Year Round Particle Pollution. Doesn't even make the last list, seen here:

What pristine part of the country do you live in?
If the alternator in my truck with air conditioning hadn't gone out, I'd make the 40+ mile drive to the convention. But, 98 degrees + dripping humidity in a car w/o a/c, ain't gonna happen.
Edit: spelling correction
Assange would probably prefer being in Houston to being stuck..
in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
I've been to both
and I'll take London any day :-O

As much as I hope this is something....
I am less than impressed with Mr Assange at the moment. Either shit or get off the pot.
Going to be missing that one. N/T
