Che Assange - Fighting for our right to freedom of information, free speech and global justice

VIVA WIKILEAKS

What an incredible age we live in. If information is freedom, we are indeed rich if we can view the internet without censorship, without fear of being dragged from our homes and persecuted for our beliefs or political views... We are rich if we can sleep at night knowing that everyone we love and care about won't be blown to smithereens by morning...

It's a sad, sad state of affairs when the real terrorists of our world - the despotic rulers that enslave and oppress under the guise of false democracy - can get away with a broad-scale disinformation campaign like the one waged recently against Julian Assange.

When Assange was asked at the 2010 Oslo Freedom Forum, about the ideology and intended purpose of Wikileaks, he stated:

"Our goal is to have a just civilization. That is sort of a personal motivating goal. And the message is transparency. It is important not to confuse the message with the goal. Nonetheless we believe that it is an excellent message. Gaining justice with transparency. It is a good way of doing that, it is also a good way of not making too many mistakes. We have a trans-political ideology, it is not right it is not left it is about understanding. Before you can give any advice, any program about how to deal with the world, how to put the civil into civilization. How to gain influence on people. Before you can have that program, first you have to understand what is actually going on.... And therefore any program or recommendation, any political ideology that comes out of that misunderstanding will itself be a misunderstanding. So, we say, to some degree all political ideologies are currently bankrupt. Because they do not have the raw ingredient they need to address the world. The raw ingredient to understand what is actually happening."

As someone who sees his mission in life - via Wikileaks - to keep governments honest and redress the imbalance of tyranny with full transparency, he has become our new national hero. Viva Julian Assange!
