"Despite all the suppression, people are still flocking to you. 250,000 views of your videos compared to a few 1000 for CNN?. Why is that?"- "@Suzi3D to @jimmy_dore

"The people in the U.S. who are supposed to be telling us the truth are now owned by the people making the wars. There are now only six giant media companies." -@jimmy_dore

"In America we don't really have a free press. People are hungry for the truth. Jimmy Sanders was filling stadiums because he was giving them something they couldn't get from other politicians - the truth." -@jimmy_dore

"Daniel Elsberg told me he thinks the U.S. is trying to create a precedent with @JulianAssange to go after the rest of the media, do you agree?" - @Suzi3D

"Definitely I agree with that."- @jimmy_dore

What we are trying to do here Jimmy is to prevent that from happening - what can we do Jimmy? - @Suzi3D

The volunteers for #Unity4J are sending a message to everybody else, that "we're not going to take it," and I think the tide is going to turn. - @jimmy_dore

#Unity4J

Those new 2600 volunteers that you have on Unity4J.com/discored they are sending a message to the world about this Julian Assange issue, listen up. - @jimmy_dore

#Unity4J

The media are phonies. People who consider themselves liberal in the U.S. are not. @ChrisHayes wanted to cover Bernie Sanders but he was told not to do so, and he didn't. - @jimmy_dore

"Real comedians at their core are contrarians. And for me that lines up with the truth. E.G. with Julian Assange, its obvious why I need to stand up for him. But right now most of the comedians are going along with the B.S." - @jimmy_dore

#Unity4J

What you should be making fun of at the moment is the system that gave us Donald Trump, not @realDonaldTrump . Everybody knows that what gave us Donald Trump, is 40 years of neo-liberalism. . - @jimmy_dore

"We have a bought media here in the U.S. and that is why Julian Assange is such a threat, because he has not been bought." - @jimmy_dore

5.5 million families lost their homes. And thats a lot of families. I make fun of the system because it is fun and because it is necessary. - @jimmy_dore

#Unity4J

What a lot of people don't know is that @Wikileaks published all the Clinton opposition research into the Trump campaign, that stuff is all there, including all the donors, but most of that stuff was not reported. - @Suzi3D

#Unity4J

I find it amazing that I am quoting Tucker Carlson, "Intelligence community, what intelligence community what is their zip-code". - @Suzi3D

#Unity4J

"Of course they are corrupt and yes Trump should revoke their (the ex-intel chiefs) clearances. The media are wrong to be backing these guys. It is weird to see people on the left protecting the FBI that has always attacked the left." - @jimmy_dore

#Unity4J

Q: How do we get rid of these people? - @Suzi3D

A: Guess what @BarackObama, all crimes happen in the past, you should have prosecuted these people. This shows how perverse a society we are living in right now. - @jimmy_dore

#Unity4J

"People who ordered torture and lied us into war, whocommitted war crimes, are walking around free, while @JulianAssange who exposed war crimes is in solitary confinement and faces imprisonment for the rest of his life. Perverse" @jimmy_dore

#Unity4J

Why is it Trump doesn't lift a finger against the military?

Trump is corrupt. There is no doubt about it. Which is why they can get away with doing what they are doing. Why does he go along? He's a plutocrat, he is one of them, plus he hasn't got a plan. - @jimmy_dore

#Unity4J

"The intelligence community is messing with Trump left and right. They had a FISA warrant, so they could wiretap two people removed from that one person. They have nothing on Trump. They won't get him."- @jimmy_dore

#Unity4J

"Lots of people say it was Bill Clinton who convinced Trump to run. They try to dismiss people by calling them conspiracy theorists, but what was the Iraq War if not a giant conspiracy." - @jimmy_dore #Unity4J

"I have to go but I just want to say thankyou to the 2600 volunteers, they give me hope. " - @JimmyDore

"If they touch a hair on @JiulianAssange's head there are 21 cities ready to have demonstrations. We have the embryo of a global movement here now. Thank you Jimmy." - @Suzi3D
