Julian Assange: The downside about being declared the messiah is that they generally come to a sticky end

Denmark's Politiken in its December 28, 2009 editorial:
HE comes from humble beginnings and defends the weak and vulnerable, because he can identify himself with their conditions. And no we are not thinking of Jesus Christ, whose birthday has just been celebrated, but rather the president of the United States Barack Hussein Obama . . . Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus
Oprah Winfrey at a Barack Obama rally on November 11, 2007:
IT'S a question that the entire nation is asking: is he the one? South Carolina, I do believe he's the one.
A query on Yahoo Answers:
IS Oprah the new Messiah?
ABC1's Lateline April 3, 2008:
TONY Jones: Is that a fear in this . . . what would happen if Obama was assassinated?
David Hale: I think Barack Obama is clearly vulnerable to assassination because he's a very unique figure in American history.
Jones: If, God forbid, that happened what would be the impact on America?
Hale: I think it would be catastrophic. Barack Obama has generated tremendous excitement in the last few months. He's had a profound effect on American politics and if we were to lose him to an assassin's bullet, I think America would be very, very demoralised and it would be a very major crisis for us as we contemplate where we're going.
Julian Assange interviewed by John Humphrys on the BBC's Today on Tuesday:
JUST a final thought. Do you see yourself as some sort of messianic figure?
Assange: Everyone would like to be a messianic figure without dying.
MSNBC on December 12:
A LAWYER for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Thursday condemned calls for his assassination as "absolutely outrageous and indeed illegal" and claimed remarks by Sarah Palin may prevent him from getting a fair trial in the United States.
CIA response to Assange assassination FOI on Scribd.com:
This is a final response to your 11 October FOI Act request for all copies of all records current or previous plans to assassinate Julian Assange. The CIA can neither confirm nor deny the existence or non-existence of records responsive to your request. The fact of the existence or non-existence of requested records is currently and properly classified and is protected from disclosure. Therefore your request is denied.
Chris Capps writes on unexplainable.net on December 7:
JULIAN Assange, the Australian native and founder of Wikileaks has been arrested. And it is not lost on many UFO believers that Assange's arrest happens just as information regarding the UFO phenomenon has been announced. Is it possible that Assange stumbled upon something too great even for his site WikiLeaks? Assange said in a media chat interview that for a long time they had been receiving requests for information regarding the UFO phenomenon, and that they would soon be releasing information regarding UFOs referenced directly in diplomatic cables. Of course the incredible news sent shockwaves through the paranormal community. Will we finally learn what the government really thinks about UFOs? And is this the form disclosure of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth will take?
The Guardian, December 23, 2010:
IF the US succeeded in removing him from the UK or Sweden, Assange said there was a "high chance" of him being killed "Jack Ruby-style" in the US prison system.
Jack Ruby speaking to journalists before his conviction for the 1963 murder of John Kennedy's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald:
GENTLEMEN, I want to tell the truth, but I cannot tell it here. If you want a fair shake out of me, you have to take me to Washington.
@'The Australian'
