John Pilger's words would resonate in more decent times — on Assange and fascism

Government, these days, enslaves — and little more

 

John Pilger recently wrote that:

 

 

The glimpse of Julian Assange being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy in London is an emblem of the times.

 

That this outrage happened in the heart of London, in the land of Magna Carta, ought to shame and anger all who fear for “democratic” societies.

 

Assange’s principal media tormentor, the Guardian, a collaborator with the secret state, displayed its nervousness this week with an editorial that scaled new weasel heights. The Guardian has exploited the work of Assange and WikiLeaks . . . .

 

With not a penny going to Julian Assange or to WikiLeaks, a hyped Guardian book led to a lucrative Hollywood movie.

 

The book’s authors, Luke Harding and David Leigh, turned on their source, abused him and disclosed the secret password Assange had given the paper in confidence, which was designed to protect a digital file containing leaked US embassy cables.

 

A decade ago, the Ministry of Defence in London produced a secret document which described the “principal threats” to public order as threefold: terrorists, Russian spies and investigative journalists.

Rich, huh . . .

 

Truth seekers as enemies of the state?

 

 

The moral? — When the revolution comes . . .

 

I hope I will still be able, physically, to dodder out to share in dismembering the Plutocracy's intestines.

 

I have always enjoyed "hands-on-ing" the world's endless supply of abusers.

 

How many more are there, like me (and maybe you)?

 

We will see.

 

If many, the time may be soon. If not, perhaps never.

 

Only the soulfully strong deserve to be free.
