It's not about the truth
To say that I'm disappointed would be to lie about how I actually feel. I'm more than anything angry about this whole thing. I mean, nobody, not a single person can name a single instance that Wikileaks released falsehoods. I will repeat that again, since its inception, Wikileaks has never been debunked. So to me this latest move is a slap in the face of truth.

When they say they were going to throw the book at Julian, they freaking meant it, verbatim. As you might imagine, the idea here is not only to silence him and punish him for revealing, once again, truth. The plan here is to send a super clear message that nobody should mess with the US government again.
Honestly, I'm disgusted, I'm beyond annoyed with our weak politicians who talk about freedoms all day, who love to tout about how much they worship the constitution, only to look at the first amendment and spit on it.
Anyone who is advocating for Assange to be locked up is literally contributing to the death of democracy and accountability. Who is to hold the governments accountable? us? - You see we mere mortals are not equipped to fight the violence of government, and we can't pretend that we could if we needed to.
Our media, mainstream news, are literally nothing more than arms of the status quo. They are told what to say, and their very livelihood depends on how good they can fabricate consensus among us, the population.
Don't support those
Who don't support freedom of speech. It's that simple. If your favorite candidate is not speaking out against this blatant attack on freedom, they you musnt believe their pretty words at all. They are just that pretty words.
It's not that hard to talk about unimplementable ideas, platitudes and general notions that outline the narrative of "we are the good guys, the others are not". But, it takes a real moral human being to stand against the tyranny that intends to silence truth.

Thanks for sharing your freedom thoughts 💭 mate!
Everything is OKAY!
We probably need more and more evidence that we are living under an oligarchy masked as a democracy, isn’t it?

Excellent review @meno and you are right, what is happening now around the Assange contradicts the principles of democracy and the tyranny of the ruling elites is clearly on the face!

Thing's represented by the media is always a thing which actually they want to present in front of public. And being a right from our end is not always mean opposite person and thing is wrong.
